Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei has issued a mobilization order to the troops, a full mobilization, and everyone must fight to the end, here, to fight the enemy to the death.

We have the weapons and ammunition of a Japanese infantry regiment, plus the weapons and ammunition of more than a thousand people we already have. We are definitely not short of weapons, but what we lack is the determination to die.

Don't worry, everyone. We are surrounded by the Japanese army. Don't even think about breaking out.

Therefore, everyone must fight to the end and shed the last drop of blood!

Here is the glorious place of our Eastward Advance Column, the monument to heroes!

Let us use our lives and blood to compose the unyielding battle song of the iron-blooded nation of China!

Su Fei's passionate words shocked everyone.

Countless people cheered with tears in their eyes.

While carrying out spiritual mobilization, Su Fei also established a new command system, appointed several officers, and reorganized the troops' weapons, equipment, and personnel, confirming them as a brigade, a special operations brigade.

He has feelings for the special operations brigade.

It has three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one rescue and logistics regiment, each with about 1500 people. The personnel are organized according to their physical condition.

Clear instructions have been given on command structure and personnel, communications, and other aspects.

Of course, he only completed half of these contents, and let the deputy commander arrange the rest. His focus was on studying how to fight.

Now, it is a blank sheet of paper. He no longer has any foresight about the future, but only a passion and the inevitable victory of our army in more than three years.

The entire army was organized and worked in an orderly manner, digging fortifications with full enthusiasm, digging deeper and deeper to form a tunnel system that could withstand the bombardment of enemy artillery. The trenches on the front line were all horse tooth-shaped, and he had to build a breastwork in front with bricks, stones, trees, etc.

Dig deep anti-tank trenches.

More than ten trenches were dug.

Some trenches may be connected by secret passages.

Several surrounding villages were also included, and a more solid fortress group was built based on solid and dry foundations, houses and some wood.

In this way, as personnel were continuously replenished and fortifications were continuously completed, the special operations brigade had built a huge defensive depth with Heiyagou as the core, including Zhaozhuang in the south, Qudong Village in the east, and Yanlei Village in the north.

The three infantry regiments each held certain areas and directions.

The artillery regiment was disbanded, leaving behind an artillery battalion to capture the enemy's tank squadron, which was also directly commanded by Su Fei.

He also has an infantry company under his command.

The training of officers and soldiers of the tank squadron has been completed. Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are really useless.

However, there are three Type 89 tanks that are pretty good, and the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles are also pretty good.

Observing the enemy's large-scale mobilization and fortification work, as well as the endless influx of trucks, Su Fei concluded that the enemy would not easily send out aircraft bombing before completing the encirclement.

He was afraid that he would have to drive his own troops to fight to the death to break out.

Well, this is a fighter plane, right?

Basically, the enemy's heavy firepower had not yet arrived, and the Japanese army's field guns above 75 mm, mountain guns, 70 infantry guns, etc. were rarely seen.

Su Fei decided to attack first and strike first.

The officers held a meeting to determine the tasks and objectives of the battle.

set off!

All Japanese tanks have set off, with infantry and tanks coordinating tactics.

Su Fei didn't study this specifically, but he could still imagine the basic situation.

The troops' attack direction was west.

The attack followed the main road of Heiyagou, as well as the gullies and woods and bushes on both sides that were more than 50 meters wide.

Prior to this, some cavalry and infantry had already set out as scouts.

The commander is a battalion commander of an independent tank battalion. He was a deputy platoon leader yesterday, and today he is the battalion commander. You can imagine how excited he is.

They carried walkie-talkies captured from the Japanese army.

Although the quality is very poor, it can be used.

Originally, the officers and soldiers didn't know what it was, so they threw it in a pile together with the boots. Su Fei saw it and immediately adjusted it, which surprised the soldiers.

More than 20.

The cavalry and infantry scouts ahead could see the enemy's movements: to the west, along the main road, the Japanese forces were the largest and most busy.

It is more than 1,300 meters from the front line of Su Fei’s army’s position.

Upon discovering that Su Fei’s army was on the move, the Japanese army immediately prepared for battle.

However, Su Fei's troops had already taken the initiative.

The tanks and armored vehicles stepped up their charge, and the artillery battalion behind them also launched a covering attack on the Japanese infantry positions and truck assembly areas!

2 field guns and 5 of the latest 81mm Type 97 mortars launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese army!

The Japanese army never dreamed that Su Fei's army would take the lead in attacking.

For a moment, I was in a hurry.

The Japanese truck troops on the highway, which were arriving in an endless stream, suffered a brutal attack.

The Japanese army's new mortar had a range of 3800 meters and a fast rate of fire. It directly attacked the enemy's truck transport troops. The shells fell on the Japanese trucks. One shell killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers, leaving them either dead with blood all over their bodies or with broken arms and legs, leaving them disabled.

Some trucks were even blown to a standstill.

The field artillery was even more powerful. When the high-explosive grenades flew over, basically, one shot could directly destroy all the Japanese soldiers in a truck.

Seeing that the effect was very good, Su Fei immediately ordered that all 4 mountain cannons and 6 infantry cannons, no matter where they were, should concentrate their fire on the Japanese transport troops to the west.

The Japanese army's truck unit, carrying an independent guard battalion, equivalent to an infantry battalion, more than a thousand people, plus various supplies and ammunition, more than 80 trucks, was bombed badly.

Basically, 70% of the Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded, half of the trucks were destroyed, and three of the ammunition trucks behind them exploded after being bombed. The earth-shaking explosion tore the Japanese soldiers within a radius of 30 meters into thin air.

After the long-range bombing, Su Fei ordered the artillery to change its target and fire at the Japanese front line.

Under the suppression of artillery fire, the tank troops and infantry quickly charged forward and occupied the Japanese positions!

The Japanese army's fortifications were still under construction and their foothold was not stable. They relied on machine gun fire to resist, and a squadron of infantry fired desperately.

However, their firepower was too weak.

Su Fei's troops covered the battlefield with artillery fire, the cannons on the tanks aimed and fired at close range, the machine guns on the armored vehicles fired fiercely, and the coordinating infantry also fired. The Japanese soldiers on the position had only dug some half-finished individual pits and had nowhere to hide and were all exposed.

Although the Japanese army had superb marksmanship and killed more than 30 Su Fei infantry officers and soldiers, more than half of their 170-strong force were killed or wounded by artillery fire and lost their combat effectiveness. They were also strafed by machine guns on armored vehicles, making it impossible for the Japanese army to escape.

In just over ten minutes, an entire Japanese squadron was wiped out.

The Japanese army had never experienced such a huge disparity in firepower and a battle at a disadvantage, so they were panicked and confused. Later, many soldiers fled in panic and were shot from behind.

The infantry and tank troops of Su Fei's troops coordinated with the troops and turned to the south.

Following the unfinished trenches dug by the enemy, there were clusters of individual pits, tanks and armored vehicles in front, and infantry in the back. The infantry observed, provided shooting targets with walkie-talkies, and guided artillery fire. Su Fei's troops once again defeated two Japanese infantry squadrons, killed most of their personnel, and seized the weapons and ammunition they had just transported.

Finding the effect good, Su Fei ordered the infantry regiment over there to reinforce an infantry company to make up for the losses. Afterwards, the tank troops continued to move south, advancing counterclockwise and sweeping the entire area.

The Japanese army had no strong fortifications and could not hold their ground. Their artillery fire was also very small, at most mortars. The Japanese army was the vanguard of each unit. Facing tanks, especially Japanese micro tanks, they had no good means of attack. They had neither anti-tank guns nor anti-tank guns, and could only use machine guns and machine guns. The problem was that as soon as they started shooting, they were discovered by Su Feijun's artillery units and covered with bombing.

From a distance, it looked like Su Fei's army was using a torrent of steel to conduct a counterclockwise sweep of the enemy outside their defensive position.

A total of five Japanese infantry companies suffered heavy losses. Two were completely wiped out, and one, seeing the situation was not good, fled in a panic and called for reinforcements. As a result, the Japanese infantry company that came to reinforce was blown to pieces, and the company leader and others died in battle.

Su Fei commanded the officers and soldiers at the frontline to attack quickly and retrieve all the enemy's weapons and ammunition, especially the troops in the west. They drove out and hunted down the remnants of the Japanese independent guard battalion who were still resisting with lumps on their heads, and seized as many weapons and ammunition as they could.

This round of fighting lasted for more than an hour. Su Fei's army consumed a huge amount of artillery shells, but achieved fruitful results. Basically, two Japanese infantry battalions were disintegrated!

More importantly, they seized a large number of weapons and ammunition and armed their own military and civilians.

Almost all of the more than 7,000 soldiers and civilians have weapons and ammunition.

Of course, the use of artillery and tanks would expose themselves and would definitely provoke crazy retaliation and bombing by the Japanese army, and there was no way to avoid it.

under……

Su Fei decided to pursue the victory.

The Japanese army is coming, and the chaos is the best opportunity.

In addition, if we want to fight a bloody battle and hold our ground, we must have strong external support to fight on the outside, tie down the enemy, attack the enemy's artillery positions and command posts at all levels, and pose a serious threat to the enemy. We can tie down the most enemies at the lowest cost and with the least manpower.

He sent a force of a thousand men, drawing a battalion from each regiment, and marching in company units to the rear of the enemy, attacking them.

The goal is to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to expand our army's combat area and prevent the enemy from concentrating on siege and encirclement.

After the battle, half of the troops returned to retreat, and the other half, the strongest troops, stayed and hid in ambush, waiting to be revived for battle.

Considering that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in this battle, they will certainly be furious and mobilize a large number of troops to besiege us. The scale of the battle will be large, and it will be impossible for us to leave alive. The Japanese army will also carry out brutal operations and sweeps in the vast surrounding areas. Therefore, these peripheral troops must not only protect themselves, but also wait for opportunities to attack the enemy's rear, and mobilize more civilians.

A thousand troops were deployed.

These people are very determined to fight!

They believe that our army will win!

Because Su Fei's tank unit and the coordinated tactics of infantry, tanks, and artillery were a beautiful victory, proving with facts that as long as our weapons and ammunition were comparable to those of the Japanese army, we would be invincible!

Among these soldiers, there are a large number of local guerrillas, the periphery of the Eighth Route Army, county brigades and some rural militia companies, as well as some grassroots governments and personnel of the National Army. They use their local advantages to mobilize and find new recruits to the greatest extent possible.

Mobilize the surrounding people as much as possible.

Someone suggested to Su Fei that he could take the opportunity to break out and move to a safe area.

Su Fei refused.

Breakout?

After such a big mess, how could the Japanese let you escape safely? A few years ago, a troop that had just successfully revolted in a certain place was transferred, and was surrounded and intercepted by the Japanese army using their superior weapons and equipment, resulting in heavy losses!

Now, the most cost-effective way is to fight a positional war.

In a field battle, these newly enlisted civilians were no match for the Japanese veterans.

The officers and soldiers who remained in place continued to deepen the fortifications.

Heiyagou has become a huge war machine, with countless fortifications extending to the periphery, and many anti-artillery holes and air-raid shelters have been completed or are being completed.

The troops also imparted knowledge on how to prevent poison gas.

Soon, when more than a thousand troops penetrated deep into the enemy's rear, the Heiyagou position was already heavily fortified and ready for battle.

The Japanese army was furious!

Lieutenant General Abu had just airdropped in, gathered with his staff, and was greeted by ground troops when he was hit by a flying shell. He watched helplessly as five Japanese soldiers were blown into pieces!

Then, more shells.

The Japanese army suffered countless casualties.

It turned out that a Su Fei infantry company was more than 800 meters away. They discovered the enemy through a telescope and immediately bombarded them with the company's mortar.

20 rounds per minute.

Don't be polite when you see the enemy. As a result, more than half of the Japanese infantry company suffered casualties.

Three of Lieutenant General Abu's staff officers were also killed or injured.

He himself hid in a village under the desperate protection of the soldiers.

Because Su Fei's troops were unwilling to harm the villagers and did not know the identities of these defeated Japanese soldiers, Lieutenant General Abu was lucky enough to escape.

The remaining infantry companies also moved away from their positions, with the farthest being 30 miles.

They mobilized more than 3000 people!

They also fought and attacked many Japanese troops, forcing the unprepared Japanese troops to retreat.

The infantry company equipped with machine guns, mortars and grenade launchers terrified the Japanese army.

Su Fei's external attack infantry seized a lot of enemy weapons and armed the civilians.

Su Fei was determined to fight to the death, but he didn't expect that the combat area would be expanded indefinitely.

The thousand-man infantry, equipped with Japanese weapons, were unstoppable. They took advantage of the large number of local natives who were familiar with the terrain, repeatedly harassed the enemy, killed and wounded many Japanese soldiers, and completely disrupted the enemy's attack encirclement.

At the same time, the nearby Eighth Route Army and the National Army were also shocked, and they launched reconnaissance and dispatched troops to start fighting. The situation changed so quickly and the impact was so great that it far exceeded the Battle of Ping'angle launched by Li Yunlong in the world of Bright Sword.

The Eighth Route Army dispatched three regiments and 15 county battalions.

The national army dispatched several divisions.

They didn't know who the Japanese army's target was...

Lieutenant General Abu, who had come to his senses, was furious and vowed to wipe out these rebels.

"Telegram, request bombing immediately, bombing, massive bombing, bombing Heiyagou into ruins!"
