Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

There were a large number of cavalry reconnaissance troops around Su Fei's troops. Each group was equipped with a walkie-talkie and could report the enemy situation at any time. The farthest place was more than 30 miles away.

Such a warning circle can basically ensure your own safety.

The attack began in the afternoon, when it got dark.

The Japanese laughed. Taking advantage of the darkness, the Japanese reinforcements could quietly come and wipe out Su Fei's army.

The Japanese army mobilized three reinforcements, the largest of which had 1500 people and the smallest had 800 people.

Some troops also began to gather.

The top brass of the Japanese Second Army were furious, and the Japanese troops around Tang County quickly planned to launch a surprise attack on Su Fei's army with three independent mixed brigades.

The national army here was originally very mild and passive, and posed almost no threat to the Japanese army. Why did they suddenly go crazy now?

Destroy them, baka.

The Japanese army didn't know that Su Fei's battle plan was 6 hours.

The battle will be over in 6 hours at most. The Japanese army may have small-scale reinforcements, but there is no chance for large-scale reinforcements to arrive.

Dusk fell and it finally got dark.

Both armies like anomalies. The National Army wants to implement a new attack plan, and the Japanese Army wants to take advantage of its own individual soldiers' good quality and strong combat effectiveness to launch interspersed battles at night, tearing apart the National Army's attack positions in one fell swoop and defeating them all!

When it was completely dark, Su Fei ordered combat shooting and the artillery launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese city walls.

The Japanese army had to leave the city walls and the defense line was in chaos.

After the shelling ended, the National Army's infantry advanced and continued to fire at the city walls. The Japanese and puppet troops quickly entered the city walls from hidden and safe areas to guard them.

Under the cover of night, the battle was extremely chaotic.

More than 50 Su Fei soldiers lurking in the city finally set out.

They formed groups of three or five and began to attack the Japanese military agencies, command posts, and warehouses in the city.

They killed more than 150 Japanese soldiers, destroyed three command posts and one temporary field hospital.

The Japanese soldiers in the warehouse were killed and burning was not allowed.

That's our trophy.

The Japanese army was completely unaware of this.

The Japanese army had never expected this to happen. These soldiers were the secret agents that Su Fei had planted during his retreat. These people were given a lot of money and bribed the local people to hide in their homes.

It’s been several days!

Not only that, these people finally discovered the Japanese artillery position, rushed over quickly, killed most of the Japanese artillerymen, and seized the artillery fire and ammunition.

Use a walkie-talkie to contact Su Fei's troops.

After hearing the news, Su Fei was very happy and ordered the infantry to advance and conduct fire reconnaissance.

The Japanese army fought back desperately, exposing their position.

The army consisted of more than 50 people, with more than 20 left to guard the city, and the rest sneaked out of the city to attack the Japanese army, which quickly collapsed.

After a hard fight during the day, only more than 300 Japanese soldiers were left, struggling to hold on.

Su Fei's infantry rushed into the county town and joined forces with the lurking troops.

When Su Fei received the news, he immediately sent an additional battalion into the county town to search and seize the enemy's weapons, ammunition, warehouse supplies, etc.

When the Japanese reinforcements gathered and approached the county town, Su Fei's small troops frequently harassed the enemy, constantly firing cold guns and cold artillery, and ambushing mines on the road, making the Japanese army dizzy and miserable.

Su Fei's main force has safely left Tang County and returned to its original base.

This time, Su Fei's troops consumed a lot of ammunition, but they also seized a lot, especially from a Japanese warehouse, where they seized more than 2800 shells for infantry guns, mortars, and grenade launchers.

This time, more than an infantry battalion of the Japanese army was annihilated, and more than 800 rifles, 55 machine guns, 44 grenade launchers, 2 mountain cannons, 1 infantry gun, 2 37mm anti-tank guns, 4 machine guns, and 12 mortars were seized.

It was captured almost intact.

However, when Su Fei returned to the base and checked the spoils, he was shocked. The Japanese had a lot of artillery fire, so why didn't they put it to full use?

It seems that the Japanese artillery technology is also average, especially after the initial veterans were consumed and transferred to the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army here is also average.

In addition, the artillery of Su Fei's troops were deployed in a dispersed manner, and they quickly maneuvered and evaded after shooting, reducing the risk of being discovered and attacked by the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery fire was concentrated in the city and did not coordinate well with the infantry.

Some officers also believed that the Japanese commander received orders from his superiors to delay the Chinese army and use less artillery fire. The goal was to tie them down and wait for reinforcements to arrive and wipe them out in one fell swoop. The Japanese army had already guessed that the attacking national army general was Su Fei.

Play the long game to catch the big fish.

Unexpectedly, after letting out the long line, a big fish calmly ate the bait and slipped away.

Su Fei didn't believe it and interrogated the captured puppet army officers and Japanese wounded soldiers. He found out that the Japanese artillery commander, Major Shimomura, and the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant Colonel Hojo, had a conflict over command and were arguing with each other. The arrogant Major Shimomura liked to overthrow his superiors.

He wanted to wait until the infantry commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hojo suffered a crushing defeat before he took over!

This battle was won with some difficulty.

Commander Zu and all the officers welcomed Su Fei and held a celebratory banquet. After a satisfying meal, they officially convened a meeting, where Su Fei presented the battle situation. Concepts like blitzkrieg, Van Fleet's ammunition loadout, machine gun clusters, fist tactics, and assassin clusters all fell silent.

"Commander Su really has something in his belly."

"You can't refuse to accept it."

The deputy army commander, the commander of another division, the chief of staff, and the regimental commander who had just been assigned to Su Fei applauded enthusiastically.

Su Fei believes that the battle in Tang County is very small in scale and not a big deal. However, it has successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese army. The next step may be to face retaliation and mopping-up by the Japanese army. Our next task is to counter the mopping-up!

In Shahe Town, next to a hilly area, is Su Fei's division headquarters.

He ordered the construction of strong fortifications in this area, focusing on anti-gun holes, trenches, tunnels, etc., laying mines on some important traffic routes, and some permanent fortifications that could withstand the enemy's heavy siege for at least ten days.

At the same time, they mobilized the people in the area to participate, clamoring loudly and boasting to the world about building an impregnable Chinese version of the Siegfried Line.

"Our troops will remain in this area for a long time until the Japanese surrender."

Day and night, they were busy building fortifications, digging tunnels and trenches.

The construction site was bustling with people shouting slogans.

Su Fei also invited Commander Zu to come for inspection and guidance, and invited reporters to take pictures of the scenes in the area and fax them to newspapers and magazines in the Kuomintang area. On the one hand, this was to enhance Commander Zu's reputation, and on the other hand, it was also Su Fei's special plan.

He planned to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and when the Japanese army came to besiege him, he would lead the main force to jump to the outer line, use mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army and open up a new situation.

This is a game.

Ten days later, the situation suddenly changed!
