Chapter 338 Ding Wei personally takes charge and meets 1 big trump cards
The east wind blows, the war drums beat, they are all elite and no one is afraid of anyone.
After receiving the order to prepare for combat, Zhang Dabiao and Gao Qing were eager to try, but were informed by Ding Wei to stay on standby and stay in Xinjing as a reserve force.
The three columns on the front line are those of Kong Jie, Kong Yong and Wang Tao.
It includes both original troops and incorporated troops. After about three months of running-in, the initial reorganization was completed.
An army is not formed through training, it is formed through fighting.
There is no need to worry too much about weapons and equipment. Ding Wei can still provide light weapons for only 6 people.
They took them directly from the warehouse at the rear, which was fully equipped with Japanese and Soviet weapons, and were placed under the light and heavy machine guns.
The remaining mountain and field artillery columns each have separate teams, which absorb artillery from the incorporated troops and expand again.
Each column has at least one howitzer battalion, three mountain and field artillery battalions, and one heavy howitzer battalion. The remaining infantry artillery, anti-tank guns, and mortars are delegated to the battalion level.
There is no favoritism when it comes to military weapons. As long as you are in his unit, everyone can get a good rifle.
The National Army launched a series of offensives and continuously increased its troops, opening up the situation on the battlefield outside the Great Wall.
目前有52军、新1军、71军、新6军、94军、13军活跃在战场之上，13军这个臭老九，已经被杜先生打发走，单独去热河地区驻扎。
The overall offensive and defensive situation is as follows. I referred to the picture from the famous Zhihu blogger (Yanmen Swordsman). Let’s take a look.
Offensive and defensive situation of both sides
From Fengtian to the north, there are Fushun, Tieling, Yinzhou, Kaiyuan, Changtu and other places before finally reaching Siping. Ding Wei's Second Column and Kong Yong's Column rested in Siping.
After receiving the order to fight, we were ready for battle.
The train was traveling from north to south, and Ding Wei's special train stopped at Siping Railway Station, where he was received by a military vehicle.
Kong Jie hadn't seen his old comrades for a long time, so he came over to greet them.
But as soon as I got out of the car, a woman came out first. She had superior looks and temperament, and her skin was as white as snow.
what's the situation?
Ding Wei then got out of the car, looking refreshed.
Kong Jie couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with these two people?
"Oh, Lao Kong is here to pick me up? You are the commander of a column, but you have become a driver."
"Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Zhuo Yue. He once studied in the Soviet Union. In 45, he infiltrated the Kwantung Army and obtained intelligence on the border fortress. Now he is the director of the Siping Field Hospital."
Turns out he’s gay. I thought he was Ding Wei’s thing.
Kong Jie quickly forced a smile, saluted, and shook hands with his comrade.
"Welcome, welcome. The field hospital is the root of all troops. Comrade Zhuoyue has worked so hard and suffered so much."
A beautiful smile is like a flower blooming in winter, which can melt all the snow.
"I have never complained about the hardships and fatigue of serving the revolution. Thank you for your hard work, leaders. I will go to the hospital first to check on the situation."
Kong Jie quickly arranged for the driver Xiao Luo to take Comrade Zhuo Yue over.
He and Ding Wei can take another car.
With only two old comrades left, Ding Wei seemed very enthusiastic.
He patted Kong Jie's shoulders and found that he was very strong.
"Old Kong, ah Old Kong, after a circle, we are back to fighting side by side again."
"What's wrong with you, Ding Wei? You follow me, Kong Jie, wherever I go, like a butt-worm."
Ding Wei laughed and was still relaxed with his old comrade.
Let’s go to the headquarters in Siping first, and consider having a couple of drinks in the evening.
The car was moving forward, but it was still a bit chilly even inside. The soldiers on duty outside, even wearing thick cotton clothes, could not block the cold wind at all.
"Alas, the sudden attack by the national army caused great losses to our brother troops. We have been fighting and making peace internally, and there is still no certainty."
Kong Jie rarely complained.
Ding Wei smiled slightly, not interested in the war and peace. He changed the subject and asked about the situation of the troops.
"How is the column being reorganized?"
When talking about the army, Kong Jie's eyes immediately lit up.
They are equipped with a large number of Japanese and Soviet weapons, and all the guns they have are of high-quality.
The soldiers are also good soldiers, all of them are veterans transferred from various military regions.
Most of them had participated in battles and were core troops.
After being equipped with weapons and firearms, they quickly developed combat effectiveness. Unlike new recruits, they needed a lot of time for training and adjustment.
Especially the standardized artillery, which was unimaginable in the past.
"I really want to fight the elite of the National Army and see if they are stronger than the Japanese divisions."
Kong Jie is also a man who can fight tough battles, has a tough style, and can uphold the military discipline of the troops.
Ding Wei did not pay attention to the situation on the Siping front line. After a little understanding, he understood the current layout.
After the Manchurian Democratic Alliance Army was divided into military regions, it split its forces, with the absolute main force at the front line fighting with the National Army's troops.
Fight and retreat, relying on local defense.
The second-line troops went deep into the local areas, developed bases, expanded the mass base, suppressed bandits, eliminated disasters, and divided land.
According to the current situation, the three elite American-equipped armies of the National Army are about to collide with Ding Wei's three major columns.
This time I came to Siping in person, intending to take charge personally and meet the so-called five aces.
The car drove into the front-line headquarters, and the guards were on high alert. Duan Peng brought a small team of troops to replace the original guard battalion.
Inside the headquarters, the division commanders, regiment commanders, and staff officers of the column had already taken their seats, waiting for Commander Ding to speak.
There are a lot of unfamiliar faces, or almost all of them.
Two regimental commanders came from the Jinzhong Column, and more officers and soldiers came from other military regions.
There are both senior comrades and young faces. What they have in common is bright eyes, common beliefs and common goals.
"Hello everyone, I am Ding Wei, and I have the honor to command my comrades in the battle. You should have heard that the American-equipped 89th Division only held out for half a day under the counterattack of my main force."
"Don't you think American weapons and invincibility are bullshit? In my eyes, there are no enemies that cannot be defeated, no difficulties that cannot be overcome, and no fortresses that cannot be taken down."
"Some are veterans of the Jinzhong Column, some are comrades from brother units, and now, they are all soldiers of my North Manchuria Military Region."
"I have a request for everyone. We must uphold the style of the North Manchuria Military Region, fight ruthlessly, attack fiercely, and clean up the battlefield quickly."
The rest was left to Kong Jie to mobilize, after all, he was the direct commander of this team.
He used the radio to urge Wang Chengzhu's artillery regiment to get into position as soon as possible.
We are about to face off against the main force of the Nationalist Army. How can we do this without artillery support?
The four heavy howitzer regiments and more than 4 large-caliber artillery pieces in his hands were going to give the so-called ace of the National Army a feast.
Elaborate hospitality etiquette was prepared, and 2 artillery shells were transported in continuously.
The enemy's offensive intention was obvious. They wanted to open up the railway line from Yingkou to Siping in order to expand the strategic gap in the Northeast region.
However, these troops were quite aggressive and attacked recklessly. Relying on powerful American weapons, they continuously defeated the enemy's resistance.
The command style doesn't seem like Mr. Du's. They attacked fiercely, but didn't they consider the problem of not being able to take Siping and the tense logistics lines?
