Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

At this time, the Japanese army immediately launched a crazy shooting.

This infantry battalion was in a panic. They had just gathered from various encirclement positions and were all sweating and panting.

Facing the battlefield in the east, there were no complete fortifications yet, so they could only lie on the ground and shoot.

Two infantry squadrons have already arrived, and the third and fourth are gathering.

Major General Chida had returned with his cavalry squad, shouting loudly and commanding the troops to join the battle.

Discovering that the enemy situation was urgent, the enemy appeared in large numbers, and two troops were gathering, the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Battalion immediately dismounted!

In addition to dealing with the remaining Japanese soldiers on the spot, their biggest task was to provide fire support.

He lowered the mortar from the horse's back, quickly set it up, and fired at the enemy. He adjusted the mortar while firing.

There are more than 10 mortars with a fast firing rate and great power.

They fired more than 200 rounds in succession, some of which destroyed four machine guns of two Japanese infantry squadrons that were resisting, killing or injuring more than 50 people.

The results of the battle were not great. The enemies on the position were scattered and all lying down. Many of them were in ravines, which provided some concealment.

Also, their target was two densely packed enemy infantry squadrons running in formation behind them.

Most of the shells fell on the two infantry squadrons at the rear of the Japanese army, directly destroying them.

An infantry company lost 54 men and 120 were wounded, and was almost completely wiped out. There were only 20 soldiers left who could continue fighting.

Another infantry company suffered 29 killed, but more than 90 were seriously injured and the rest were slightly injured.

There were almost no survivors. It was also a devastating blow.

Although Su Fei's First Cavalry Battalion suffered heavy losses and lost a lot of machine guns, it was still quite powerful once it engaged in battle with the enemy.

More than 100 machine guns fired fiercely, crippling the two Japanese infantry squadrons that were trying to intercept them.

A small number of Japanese troops were suppressed on the ground and in the trenches, unable to come out. If they moved, they would be shot and killed.

Finding that the enemy's blocking force had lost its combat effectiveness, Su Fei's First Cavalry Battalion continued to charge and rushed towards the enemy artillery position.

At this time, the commander of the Japanese artillery position immediately ordered to shift the attack target and attack the artillery of the second battalion of Su Fei Cavalry Battalion.

More than 10 mountain cannons launched a full-scale attack, almost wiping out the artillery of Su Fei's 2nd Cavalry Battalion.

They are too conspicuous.

At least 100 soldiers were killed or seriously injured.

War is a mutual massacre!

At this point, the Japanese army's southern front had completely wiped out one infantry battalion and crippled the main force of the second infantry battalion.

Su Fei's troops also suffered heavy losses. Of the four companies of the attack force composed of the county brigade and militia, only one company remained. Duan Peng's artillery battalion, one heavy artillery company, had almost no troops left. The other two light artillery companies were forced to hide and dared not show up.

There were two cavalry battalions. The first battalion lost 200 people, and now in the battle, it has lost more than 50 people.

The artillery unit of the second battalion was almost wiped out after being surrounded by the Japanese army. In the end, nearly half of its troops were lost.

However, Su Fei led his troops to continue the attack, targeting the Japanese army's southern artillery positions!

Destroy enemy artillery.

At this time, Duan Peng also waited for the opportunity to fight.

According to Su Fei's command points, the walkie-talkie just informed him that he had to mobilize all forces.

He ordered 200 infantry guards to rush out of the anti-artillery holes and trenches and charge towards the Japanese positions to the west.

His mortar troops also separated the artillery fire and shells, carried them on their shoulders, pushed them on carts, and loaded them on horses, and charged to the front line.

Leave two mortars and continue firing, indiscriminately at the enemy positions and the flanks of Su Fei's cavalry. One purpose is to threaten the enemy's possible attack and hiding troops, and the other is to use bait to attract the firepower of the enemy's mountain artillery units.

The battle has become increasingly intense.

Under the order of the old devil Chida, the Japanese artillery guard force on the northern line also dispatched two infantry companies to encircle the flank and rear of Su Fei's troops.

Their first vanguard cavalry squad, belonging to the reconnaissance and search force, accelerated its charge. Suddenly, a dense string of bullets came out from the grass and knocked them off their horses.

More than 30 people were killed, more than 10 were injured, and the remaining 10 people escaped by chance and turned around and ran.

The Japanese army was furious and immediately used mortars and grenade launchers to bomb.

The machine guns also fired fiercely.

Afterwards, a squad of Japanese infantrymen advanced and fiercely suppressed the original trench position. At this time, a row of firepower suddenly appeared from the trench on the other side, with more than 10 machine guns, and fiercely strafed the Japanese infantry squad.

The Japanese army was furious and immediately launched another round of bombing.

They didn't know that the Su Fei unit militia of more than 300 people had dug a large number of communication trenches and anti-artillery holes while hiding in accordance with orders, and the main ambush positions were divided into several.

Constantly maneuvering back and forth in the traffic trench.

They used lightning tactics to launch a short assault on the enemy, and after destroying the enemy, they quickly retreated.

The Japanese were furious and once again attacked their exposed positions with artillery and machine gun fire.

After the attack, the Japanese army continued to reconnaissance and advance, but was suddenly attacked by a machine gun position and a rifle group that appeared on another position, resulting in more than 60 casualties.

The Japanese army was furious and had to abandon the plan of flanking Su Fei's main force and surround the Su Fei army in this area. Su Fei's army had 300 people, and although only a few officers were veterans, the militia and civilians still cried out in anger when they found weapons and ammunition.

They even fought more fiercely, venting their years of grievances on the Japanese army.

In Linwu County, Fang Ligong finally confirmed the news that Su Fei's troops had returned from the sounds of various artillery and machine guns. He immediately gave the order to attack.

The three infantry battalions had already lost hundreds of men after a bitter battle. Now, they were launching an all-out attack, leaving no one behind, and coordinating with Su Fei's troops on a counterattack. "Victory or failure depends on this! Brothers, if you don't work hard, you will either be killed by the enemy or captured. Come on!"

Since the main battlefield of the battle is in the east and south, we will use the main force, a combined infantry battalion of 1,000 people, to open the south gate of the city and charge outward.

They first covered the enemy with artillery fire. They thought they were troops in Japanese uniforms, so they showed no mercy and bombarded them with more than 200 rounds from 8 mortars, killing and wounding more than 200 Imperial Army soldiers disguised as Japanese soldiers. Although the results were not great, the Imperial Army could not hold on and fled from their positions.

A battalion commander of the Imperial Army committed suicide out of helplessness.

Seeing the "collapse of the Japanese army", Fang Ligong personally led this complete combined battalion of 1,000 people, broke out of the county town, attacked the Japanese positions in the city, and pursued them fiercely.

Su Fei's army has taken the initiative by coordinating internal and external forces.

Fang Ligong led the troops inside the city and launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops in the east and north of the city at the same time to contain the enemy...
