Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei didn't lose his composure completely.

We are still surrounded by the enemy.

He once again recruited officers and soldiers to form a death squad and lurk outside.

The condition is promotion and wealth! A generous reward.

However, one soldier suggested, "Commander, I don't want a promotion, nor do I want silver. What's the point of having those things when a person dies? Commander, to be honest, we are alive today, and whether we can survive tomorrow is a matter of concern, so I want a woman!"

He spoke bluntly and asked Su Fei to give them the captured high-ranking Japanese comfort women.

Su Fei suddenly felt embarrassed.

We are the national army, not bandits, nor are we beasts like the Japanese devils.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, not many were willing to be part of the suicide squad!

In fact, he was very dissatisfied with Su Fei's preferential treatment of Japanese comfort women.

Su Fei had no choice but to ask these comfort women. He could communicate with them in fluent Japanese and learned that some of them were from the East Asian continent, while most of them were from the peninsula. It was impossible to send them back now. If they were willing to marry soldiers... he would never force them.

When these people heard about this result, they were so happy that they burst into tears, especially the comfort women on the peninsula, who knelt down to Su Fei to express their gratitude.

So, Su Fei had an idea and let these comfort women choose whether to continue to be prisoners or join the national army and devote themselves to the just cause of opposing the Japanese invasion.

The vast majority of these people are willing to join the army.

So, Su Fei personally presided over a ceremony to welcome them to join the National Army as medical staff. The four Japanese comfort women who were unwilling to join continued to be prisoners.

Female soldiers can fall in love, and the army provides priority options, namely the bravest suicide squad members.

All of a sudden, everyone was happy, especially the comfort women on the peninsula. Most of them were deceived or forcibly captured. Now, they were able to escape from the suffering and have a normal family. They cried with joy. The Japanese comfort women were also moved by the discipline and kindness of the national army.

Anyway, they were captured by the Chinese army and would commit suicide if they returned!

In the end, under the advice of the Japanese comfort women, the remaining four also changed their attitudes.

it is good.

Now, Su Fei's officers and soldiers no longer ask for women. These comfort women are already soldiers of our national army and sisters. What unreasonable demands can they make?

However, whether it was Su Fei's priority to match them up, or the newly joined female medical soldiers' respect for their suicide squad and their willingness to obey future assignments, the officers and soldiers were satisfied.

A suicide squad of more than 500 people was quickly formed. They were divided into groups and areas, carrying enough dry food and horse meat. Some female medical soldiers were also assigned. The combination of men and women made the work less tiring.

Dry food and barbecued horse meat are given priority to the suicide squad members.

Soon, the suicide squad set off.

Su Fei's troops continued to rest in hiding.

A telegram was sent to the Independent Regiment and the National Army, requesting them not to send any more reinforcements, because the Independent Division had suffered heavy casualties, was short of ammunition and food, and was in a desperate situation. It was not worth rescuing them. "In two days at most, our remaining officers and soldiers will sacrifice their lives for our country and fight to the end!"

Playing the victim like this is a strategy.

Anyway, we can't let the Japanese's tactic of besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements work, and we can't sacrifice more of our manpower in vain.

It is also a very insidious and clever strategy!

Let the Japanese army think that their troops have been exhausted, let the enemy withdraw, or be complacent and come to besiege, then the opportunity to destroy the enemy will come.

Sure enough, a day later, small groups of Japanese troops continued to enter the battlefield, approached the positions of Su Fei's troops, and launched exploratory attacks.

A series of battles took place, and small groups of Japanese troops were destroyed one after another.

They didn't know that after many battles, Su Fei's troops' weapons and ammunition had become even more insane, with 800 light machine guns!

Once engaged in combat, the Japanese army was almost unable to withstand it.

Three days later, a Japanese infantry regiment arrived around the position, followed by several affiliated troops arriving in the area. The Japanese army once again gathered more than 5000 people to besiege Su Fei's troops.

A Japanese brigade commander served as commander.

The Japanese army searched everywhere for the body of Division Commander Nagazu Saki, and they also found that Nagazu Saki's troops had been completely wiped out.

Okamura Yasuji received the news and believed that Nagatsu Saki was too reckless and deserved to die. However, they used the deciphered National Army telegram to learn about the situation on Su Fei's side. They believed that the destruction of Nagatsu Saki's troops had greatly depleted the vitality of Su Fei's troops. Although Su Fei's troops took away the bodies of their officers and soldiers and buried them, they tried their best to conceal the facts, which also showed that they were guilty.

"Attack, keep attacking, as long as we can destroy Su Fei's troops, we will do it at any cost!"

Okamura Yasuji also slammed the table at the headquarters in Peking.

In order to annihilate Su Fei's troops, he exhausted all his intelligence and wisdom, mobilized an army of 100,000, a twenty-fold advantage in manpower, but still lost more than 10,000 people.

Is this annihilation? This is annihilation.

After a rare moment of anger and humiliation, two more guard teams were added.

The besieging force grew to 9000 men.

The Japanese army also changed from a slow attack to a strong attack.

The Japanese army surrounded and blockaded the city on three sides, with the south as the main direction of attack.

More than 7000 people, multiple charges and artillery bombardments.

Su Fei's troops tried to avoid fighting as much as possible to show that there were only a few of their troops left. This was a strategy of arrogant soldiers.

Only when the Japanese army charged to their front were they forced to fight back and firmly defend their positions.

Fighting continuously for more than ten hours.

The Japanese army suffered heavy artillery losses and lost more than 800 soldiers.

Su Fei's army also lost more than 400 officers and soldiers.

The battle was fierce. The Japanese army charged continuously and fought fiercely. Although Su Fei's troops used the tactics of relying on fortifications, taking advantage of firepower, and conducting short surprise counterattacks, they still suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese army's artillery skills were superior and their strikes were accurate, causing heavy casualties in Su Fei's counterattacks on many occasions.

Blood flowed on the battlefield and corpses were torn into pieces. It was a real bloody hell.

A few days ago, there were corpses, emitting a terrible stench. Even if you bury them, it won't work because the stench will still emanate from the cracks in the soil.

The commander of the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, Ichiro Kyumu, was a lieutenant general. The old man was very bad and cunning. He ordered his soldiers not to retreat. Wherever they charged, they had to dig individual pits on the spot to fight in concealment, or hide in bomb craters.

Su Fei had also used this set of tactics, the trench approaching tactics, which forced Su Fei's army to frequently use powerful weapons.

Mortar.

Some people observed, some used artillery to bombard the enemy, and the effect of indirect artillery bombardment was great.

The Japanese army paid a heavy price.

A day later, the Japanese army was more than 150 meters away from Su Fei's front line and had built many individual pits and trenches.

Ichiro Kyumu excitedly reported to General Okamura Yasuji that he was very close to success and the real decisive battle had begun.

"It's only a matter of time before we can wipe out the remaining troops of Su Fei's army!"
