Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

"Commander, you can't go!" A cavalryman grabbed Su Fei's horse reins from the flank and forced him to stop.

Several guards stopped him.

Helplessly, Su Fei could only stop his horse and shoot at the enemy from horseback.

More than 200 cavalrymen rushed towards the enemy's artillery positions without hesitation.

The Japanese artillery... opened fire.

The huge explosion and fireball blew more than 40 cavalrymen into pieces one after another. Some cavalrymen and their horses suddenly disappeared in the smoke.

The Japanese mountain artillery was still very powerful.

The Japanese artillery was equipped with a large number of infantrymen. The baggage soldiers who transported and carried the artillery shells also picked up pistols and artillery knives to block the artillery.

Seeing the aggressive cavalry, they were both frightened and angry.

"Kill them!" The howling sounded like a wild beast.

Japanese artillery positions rarely dug trenches.

Because the artillery position is very large, digging around the position would consume a huge amount of time and energy, affecting the artillery's combat effectiveness.

The Japanese army was not worried about the artillery positions being attacked.

The Japanese also fired at the cavalry with pistols and a few rifles.

The cavalrymen kept falling and kept approaching the artillery positions.

When the distance was too close, the Japanese artillery fire could no longer threaten the cavalry.

In the end, only more than 70 cavalrymen rushed into the artillery position.

Two-thirds of the soldiers died on the way forward.

Some soldiers fell off their horses, waited for a moment, struggled tenaciously, and continued to charge.

Several Japanese soldiers were shooting with pistols. The war horses were hit by bullets, but they continued to charge, kicking their front hooves bravely and kicking the two Japanese soldiers away.

A cavalry soldier swung his sword and chopped off half of a Japanese soldier's head.

Ah!

The devils let out a cruel cry.

More than 70 soldiers charged fiercely at the enemy's artillery position!

At least half of the soldiers used light machine guns to fire at the enemy.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Used as a submachine gun.

The Japanese army was killed and wounded everywhere. The Japanese soldiers who tried to stop them were frightened by their horses and swords and turned around and ran away.

Some cavalry soldiers continued to chase the enemy with their sabers, chopping off their heads one after another.

They charged forward violently, charging and chasing everywhere, chasing the Japanese artillerymen like ducks and pheasants, and making them run around everywhere, quacking and screaming.

Faced with the cavalry's machine guns and sabers, the artillery was helpless and could only flee.

The Japanese army's artillery on the southern front was destroyed!

A cavalry soldier fell off his horse and used a machine gun to kill a Japanese soldier. He then started firing and killed five Japanese soldiers.

Most of the Japanese artillerymen fled in panic, looking for infantry to rescue them.

However, what they waited for was the opening of the south gate of the county town, and the puppet troops in the encirclement were defeated.

The Japanese army was unwilling to accept the loss of the artillery, and under the command of some officers, they returned to continue fighting.

How could an artillery unit with a total strength of more than a thousand people be defeated by more than 70 cavalrymen?

The Japanese army also went crazy.

If they fail to protect the cannon, they will be severely held accountable.

They would rather die on the battlefield than be humiliated and punished.

More than 400 Japanese soldiers launched a counterattack against Su Fei's cavalry, using short artillery swords to charge and slash at the cavalry. Most of the Japanese soldiers were passed by the horses and were either killed or injured. A few Japanese soldiers stubbornly resisted the fear and slashed with their swords and shot with their pistols.

Several Su Fei cavalrymen fell off their horses. Some were shot down by enemy pistols, while others charged into the enemy infantry group, falling with their horses. They got up from the ground, waving their sabers and fighting against the Japanese army.

The battle entered a frenzy.

After a hard battle, more than 70 Su Fei cavalrymen were wiped out.

completely annihilated!

Not one survived.

There were corpses everywhere, and some soldiers who were not yet dead were beaten and smashed to pieces by the Japanese army.

More than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded again.

More than 30 wounded soldiers from Su Fei's follow-up troops crawled on the ground, relying on trenches and natural gullies to shoot at the Japanese army.

Six light machine guns fired multiple bursts, causing the Japanese soldiers to fall down one after another on the Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese army was furious and rushed out of their positions and charged towards them. Some of them used rifles found on the remains of Su Fei’s soldiers to shoot.

Su Fei was also among these soldiers, shooting at the enemy. When the machine gun bullets were used up, he threw them away. He was reluctant to use the remaining few magazines to spray the enemy, so he used his rifle to shoot at the Japanese army.

Su Fei's mind was blank. Today was the last day.

Fighting in the bloody battlefield and dying on the horse's hide, how heroic!

Bang, shot in the left shoulder.

Bang, he was hit on the head by a hammer and then shot.

Blood flowed from his forehead, covering his eyes.

He wiped it off with his hand and continued shooting.

Boom, boom boom boom.

The violent explosion and the shock not far to the west blurred his consciousness, and he finally fell to the ground and fainted.

When Su Fei woke up, he was already in a clean house in a village outside the county town. He felt weak all over, extremely thirsty, had a splitting headache, and his left shoulder was numb and burning.

"water?"

Someone came over, a military doctor in a white coat.

can not see clearly.

There is a faint fragrance on the body.

"Master, you can't drink the water. If you drink it now, it will kill you!"

Su Fei also knew that after being injured and losing too much blood, he must not drink water, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

Enduring extreme thirst, he fainted again and again.

It was five days later that he finally woke up because he saw the people in the room, several female military doctors and nurses, who were giving him an IV drip. He almost thought he was back to real life.

Ten days later, his condition stabilized and he received several visitors.

Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Political Commissar Zhao, Xing Zhiguo, and Sun Desheng were all led in by Fang Ligong.

But Su Fei was so excited that he shook hands with everyone one by one and burst into tears.

Everyone was in tears.

Only now did Su Fei know that the battle in Linwu County was won.

Their two cavalry battalions launched a desperate attack, disturbing the enemy's artillery positions. A number of enemy artillerymen were killed and wounded, and they were unable to fire for a long time. At this time, Duan Peng's two light artillery companies, carrying mortars and shells, moved urgently to within 3500 meters of the enemy artillery positions. They immediately set up their mortars and bombarded the enemy artillery positions with a fierce bombardment of more than 300 shells, plowing through the enemy artillery positions and dealing a devastating blow to the remaining Japanese artillery troops.

Fang Ligong's troops heading south also rushed to the enemy's artillery position in one go.

In this way, the Japanese army on the southern front basically collapsed.

Of course, the Japanese army also had troops for outer surveillance and attacking reinforcements, as well as an infantry battalion, to launch a full-scale counterattack.

Fang Liguo's combined battalion, Duan Peng's artillery, more than 200 infantrymen, and 20 captured Japanese mountain cannons fired at the Japanese army, using up the remaining mortar shells and more than 300 Japanese mountain artillery shells, completely defeating the Japanese infantry battalion.

Of course, the Japanese army had the advantage in the battle on the northern front. The Japanese mountain artillery battalion was too fierce, and Fang Ligong's troops who went out of the city to counterattack suffered heavy losses.

However, the troops that rushed out from the east of the city found that the enemy was besieging a unit of Su Fei's army, and the remaining 300 infantrymen were reduced to less than 100 people.

They attacked the Japanese army from behind and defeated them. Then, they chased them madly and broke into the northeast corner of the Japanese northern line from the flank. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese army left some troops to cover their retreat and retreated with the rest.
