Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

The more than a thousand officers and soldiers who fought back were released by Su Fei again.

They went to the periphery to fight.

They carried a large amount of artillery, machine guns, etc., with sufficient ammunition, and went to the periphery. They coordinated with the troops that had already jumped to the periphery and attacked the Japanese army from behind.

Su Fei would never sit and wait for death in Heiyagou. There must be troops here to attract the enemy so that the rest of the troops can fight maneuverably behind the enemy and achieve greater results. They can also tie down the enemy and prevent them from attacking Heiyagou casually.

The success of the outer-line troops is the prerequisite for victory in the inner-line positional warfare and tunnel warfare!

There are only four thousand people left in Heiyagou.

However, after many victories, these soldiers and civilians developed strong self-confidence. They were extremely contemptuous of the enemy and were not afraid at all.

We must win.

In fact, more people are numb in their hearts.

That's what war is all about.

The Japs are nothing special.

Even if I die in the battle, I have already killed the Japanese and made my money back. It's worth it.

In this chaotic and devastated world, what is there to be nostalgic about?

Su Fei had officers conduct psychological interventions with soldiers and civilians, such as chatting and propaganda after battles. However, he didn't expect that these soldiers and civilians, especially the new recruits, no longer needed it. The county brigade, guerrillas, and other local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army and the underground party had already carried out these propaganda and mobilizations countless times.

These soldiers and civilians are the best fighters!

Five hours later, the Japanese army reorganized and launched a new attack on Heiyagou.

Lieutenant General Abu also rushed back here, and a large number of reinforcements arrived. Thousands of Japanese troops and thousands of puppet troops all entered the area around Heiyagou and established a solid position.

Lieutenant General Abu is extremely smart!

He believed that the anti-Japanese forces here, no matter which group they came from, must be eliminated as long as they were strong in combat.

The more they fight back, the more it proves that the anti-Japanese armed forces here are big fish!

He divided the troops into two parts, one commanded by him to carry out the siege, and the other commanded by Colonel Xichuan who arrived to guard the periphery.

Twelve bombers came again and carried out a devastating carpet attack on Heiyagou.

This time, the trench that Su Fei's troops had just dug was almost blown up.

After the enemy planes left, Su Feijun dug again.

Restore the trenches.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army bombarded again, with mountain artillery and field artillery bombarding the entire area.

The bombing lasted for a full hour.

The Japanese army was also very short of war resources and would not be willing to waste them like this, as if they were just throwing ammunition around randomly.

What's more, the enemy was a ragtag force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that was lured into the encirclement?

Although Su Fei is very famous, what is one person?

After the bombardment, the Japanese army began to advance.

Their rear was under close surveillance, and machine guns and rifles were always watching the front, ready to deal with the Su Fei troops that suddenly appeared. The advancing soldiers quickly advanced a distance and dug individual pits and trenches on the spot.

At the same time, the Japanese army also used mortars and other weapons to carry out preventive bombing in front of the Japanese army in places where Su Fei’s army might appear.

Lieutenant General Abu's tactics are very rigorous.

After Su Fei and others saw the enemy situation through the periscope, they focused on observing the enemy's firepower points and artillery positions. Soon, they used mortars through the trenches to bombard the Japanese artillery, and used grenade launchers and other weapons to bombard the Japanese front-line soldiers and machine gun firepower points.

We can't let the enemy get too rampant.

When the enemy's attention is highly concentrated, a short assault is no longer convenient and we have to fight hard.

Let some officers observe the enemy's position through periscopes, lead small teams, suddenly appear in the trenches and shoot at the enemy.

Su Fei's troops fired at the enemy from different trenches.

Artillery shells, machine guns and rifle bullets from both sides flew everywhere.

This is a war of attrition.

Head-to-head.

Troops on both sides suffered continuous casualties.

Shells and bullets were being consumed rapidly.

Su Fei could no longer concentrate his forces for an assault, lest he be covered by enemy artillery and firepower.

This time, the Japanese army established a very solid concealment location with various firepower and installed protective shields on all light and heavy machine guns. It was really cunning.

However, Su Fei's army tried their best to suddenly appear from different places and shoot at the enemy, making it difficult for the enemy to defend themselves.

In particular, with the support of periscopes, Su Feijun's artillery fire continuously and accurately bombarded Japanese machine gunners and relatively dense enemy infantry, posing a great threat to the enemy.

Three hours passed.

Su Fei’s army has suffered more than a thousand casualties!

The Japanese and puppet troops also suffered thousands of casualties.

This is a war of attrition.

For Su Fei, as long as he can tie with the enemy, or even exchange two people for one enemy, it is worth it and cost-effective.

The national army's record in battles, especially in positional warfare, was an average of 5 to 1.

In Su Fei's army, except for some veterans, most of them are new recruits.

As dusk fell, the fighting subsided.

Su Feijun's artillery shells were running low, so he stopped firing.

The darkness also shielded the defenders. Su Fei's officers and soldiers continued to fire at the enemy from their trenches.

The Japanese artillery fire also became much sparser, and the blind firing effect at night could not be seen clearly.

Su Fei launched a counterattack, and ordered some officers and soldiers to form suicide squads and small teams, with two or three people in a group, groping forward towards the enemy position, crawling, rolling, or advancing into the bomb craters in front of the enemy. When the enemy suddenly jumped forward, they would shoot fiercely and kill the enemy.

Attack the enemy.

After midnight, the Japanese army used new tactics.

Using the large searchlight that was dispatched, they repeatedly covered and scanned Heiyagou, completely suppressing Su Feijun's observation!

Lieutenant General Abu was on the battlefield, observing the results and was very satisfied: "It blinded the Chinese army! Hahahaha!"

He had already determined that Su Fei's army had built a large number of anti-artillery and air-raid shelters on their positions, which could not be destroyed by aerial bombs and artillery shells. Even if poison gas bombs were used, how could they penetrate the ground?

The only option is to use personnel to attack.

The Japanese army dropped a large number of white phosphorus bombs.

These white phosphorus modules were flying all over the sky, emitting a pungent smell of garlic and a terrifying smoke. When they fell to the ground, countless fire points burned for a long time, like ghost fires in the underworld.

The brutal nature of white phosphorus bombs can deter Su Fei’s army from going into battle and limit their mobility.

"We must eliminate them. We must not let any of them escape. These bastards killed Colonel Inoue and almost two regiments of our Imperial warriors. They deserve to die!"

The Japanese officers were eager to fight, believing that tonight, relying on their advantage in weapons and ammunition, they could completely wipe out Su Fei's army, occupy Heiyagou and end the battle.

"Engineers, prepare a large amount of explosives and blasting tubes. Once you find enemy trenches and air-raid shelters, insert them through the ventilation holes and blow them to rubble!"

Su Fei and others were very nervous in the trenches, air-raid shelters, and artillery shelters.

The enemy's tactics are vicious. It is very difficult for us to see the enemy. Even the periscope cannot see the enemy's situation clearly.

Even if we want to bomb the enemy's searchlight, we still need to find the distance, right?

Now, we have no idea of ​​the distance to the enemy searchlights, making it impossible to carry out accurate bombing.

Now there are only two moves.

Su Fei sent a telegram to the outer troops, asking them to come back immediately, launch a fierce attack on the enemy, and harass the enemy's rear.

Su Fei was not sure whether the outer troops could succeed, nor did he rely on it. His actual strategy was to counterattack.

A network of underground tunnels had already been formed, so the direction of attack was determined and elite troops were dispatched to attack.

More than 200 officers and soldiers advanced from the air-raid shelter area toward the west, the direction of the enemy's main attack. They advanced underground and when they reached a certain position, they began to drill into the secret passage.

The narrow passage led straight into the Japanese attacking infantry.

After listening, they detected the enemy's position and continued to move forward. Eventually, they started to move out from tens or even hundreds of meters behind the enemy.

The entrances and exits were all in the trenches and were flattened by enemy aerial bombs and artillery shells.

After clearing away the dust, the soldiers quietly appeared in the deep trench.

At this time, in order to cooperate with their actions, Su Fei's troops suddenly used mortars to fiercely bombard the enemy's lights and Japanese troops to the west in the trenches and air-raid shelters in the center of the position.

The high-altitude curved trajectory ranges from several hundred meters to one or two thousand meters, and the bombing is fierce.

The Japanese army had to turn off the searchlights, as they could not afford to lose these night combat weapons in vain.

The fierce mortar shells burst into countless fragments. The Japanese searchlight soldiers must not die in vain.

After the closure, didn’t Su Fei’s army’s artillery fire also lose its target?

The advancing Japanese infantry could also be protected by the darkness.

After a while of shelling, more than 200 Su Fei officers and soldiers came out from behind the enemy.

The explosions and the chaos shielded them.

As soon as they came out, they rolled around, crawled, and scattered.

They wore Japanese military uniforms and disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers.

Relying on vision adapted to the darkness, it attacked surrounding enemies.

Su Fei's army fired artillery at the enemy from a distance, and at close range, they fired with rifles and fired into the air.

The sound of gunfire and artillery fire provided good cover for the soldiers who were attacking at night.

Night raiders, suicide squad, no looking back.

They all knew that their attack was the life guarantee and hope of thousands of defenders!

The burden on my shoulders is heavy.

They would point their pistols at the enemy and shoot, or point their rifles at the enemy and shoot, ensuring a one-shot kill.

Not only did they move forward and around, they also moved westward, where the main force of the Japanese army was located.

In the darkness, chaos and noise, a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed.

Many Japanese soldiers never dreamed that so many enemies would appear on the ground.

The entire ground was bombarded repeatedly by aerial bombs and artillery shells, with flying dust and loose soil. It was almost soft wherever they walked. It was impossible for them to stab it all with bayonets. Even if they did, it would be difficult to find the entrance to the cave.

They didn't know that Su Fei's understanding of the tunnel system was much better than theirs.

That was the experience of the Japanese army in the Battle of Iwo Jima...

More than 200 officers and soldiers were determined to die, acted separately, and were ruthless.

Soon, they killed four to five hundred Japanese soldiers.

Amid the chaos of artillery explosions and gunfire, it was difficult for the Japanese army to distinguish between friend and foe, and they had no idea that there were enemies around them or behind them.

Moreover, these suicide squad members of Su Fei's army also learned a few words of Japanese, practiced them repeatedly until they were proficient. When they approached the enemy, they would deliberately mutter them. When the Japanese heard them, they completely lost their vigilance.

The night is dark and noisy, and the accent of my own people is so precious and lovely.

Some devils were killed while feeling moved by themselves.

Not only that, these suicide squads further lurked and attacked to the west. Anyway, under the bombardment of Su Fei's troops, the Japanese army was unable to integrate, mobilize, and communicate on the ground, and they were completely scattered.

Some combat team members have infiltrated the enemy machine gun positions and killed the Japanese machine gunners.

When they faced uncertainty, they threw grenades.

These grenades were found on the bodies of Japanese soldiers.

The suicide squad members don't shout or even make a sound.

They knew that the Japanese army was well-trained and not a mob that would collapse after just a few shouts.

Kill kill kill!

Seeing is believing, and the truth is real.

Lieutenant General Abu and his guards continued to observe in a trench. More than 30 people were furious at the artillery fire and heavy bombing of Su Fei's army. When they heard the artillery fire, they knew it was the standard weapon of the Japanese army. They were all captured from the Japanese army.

shame!

A shell exploded beside them, blowing six Japanese soldiers into the air, and body parts and blood rained down.

The second lieutenant of the guard felt something was wrong and immediately reminded the lieutenant general to take cover. The lieutenant general was still stubborn. Suddenly, a grenade flew over and killed the second lieutenant of the guard.

The tentacles were filled with warm blood, and Lieutenant General Abu suddenly woke up: "Quick, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking."

It's already too late.

Several more grenades exploded, knocking him unconscious.

Fortunately, in the darkness, Su Feijun's suicide squad could sense that there were many enemies, but they didn't know what kind and level of enemies they were. They didn't investigate further and continued to move westward, allowing Abu, the old Japanese soldier, to escape.

The guard beside Abu waited for a moment and then helped him escape.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was unable to communicate, so they could only wait to be assassinated by the suicide squad.

Amid the roar of artillery shells, shouting is unlikely to be effective.

Su Fei's army's suicide squad finally infiltrated the Japanese artillery position. At this time, Su Fei calculated the time and stopped the shelling, and the position fell into darkness and silence.

It was a terrible silence.

The strong smell of blood and offal, the stench, the smell of gunpowder...

Some Japanese soldiers suffered mental breakdowns.

Because they had no comrades around them, they tried to call out to them, or crawl over to look for them, only to find corpses. Ahhhh.

The Japanese army suffered a heavy blow.

This is not the final outcome.

The Japanese army restored the searchlights and medical personnel also entered the position to search and rescue the wounded.

At this time, several suicide squad members of Su Fei's army rushed towards Dean's searchlight soldiers from their hiding place, and suddenly launched a sneak attack with daggers and pistols, quickly killing the Japanese soldiers.

Then, lower the searchlight area to scan the Japanese positions and even the surrounding areas.

Expose the Japanese position and destroy it directly!

The position fell into endless darkness.

The surviving Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were also plunged into fear, as they knew that a large number of enemies had infiltrated behind them.

They dared not move.

However, Su Fei's suicide squad threw grenades, bombed, and fired indiscriminately, completely breaking the nerves of the Japanese army.

Countless Japanese soldiers were forced to jump up from their positions and flee.

The feeling of being ambushed and surrounded by enemies in the dark is terrifying.

The Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, but they had never experienced this kind of torture!

No other army had ever been so entangled with them before.

As the Japanese army fled in large numbers, they were hunted down by Su Fei's suicide squad on the ground...
