Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Outside Wanjia Town, the Japanese artillery was bombarding. These were battalion artillery, two 70mm infantry guns, two 37mm anti-tank guns, and more than a dozen mortars.

After being harassed by Su Fei's outer troops, the Japanese army withdrew the ambush and guard troops. Anyway, the powerful outer corps was chasing the enemy, so there was no need to worry.

They wanted to concentrate their efforts on annihilating Wanjia Town and achieve a glorious military achievement.

Major Yamashita took command personally and shouted loudly. The Japanese army charged several times and the artillery fire continued to suppress the attack.

But the effect is really... infuriating.

Su Fei's army in Wanjia Town was like an indestructible cockroach. They endured the artillery fire and waited for the Japanese infantry to charge, then suddenly appeared and opened fire. They had too many machine guns and too strong firepower. In just a few seconds or even a dozen seconds of shooting, the attacking Japanese infantry were killed or wounded!

Major Yamashita admitted that this was the toughest opponent he had encountered since invading China.

"The enemy's tunnels and dugouts are not afraid of our artillery shells, and their machine guns are enough to surprise and kill our troops."

Be able to defend and hit hard...

In fact, Major Yamashita was too anxious, and Wei Dayong's troops in the town also suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese army had advance warning for each attack and would kill casualties. The Japanese mortars were very accurate, and some could fall directly into the ravines where the anti-artillery holes were located, killing casualties.

After many battles, the Japanese army abandoned nearly 400 corpses in and around Wanjia Town, which was one-third of an infantry battalion. Wei Dayong's special forces company of 150 people also lost 32 people and injured 34 people. The Wanjia Town militia company also suffered more than 10 casualties.

If it weren't for the large number of machine guns, Wanjia Town would have been breached.

After all, they had been bombarded by 12 Japanese field guns before, and some tunnels and anti-artillery holes had collapsed or been damaged.

Major Yamashita ordered the troops to take turns resting and continuing the attack.

"We must dig out all these ground rats and blow them up!"

Su Fei's troops have arrived.

This time they split their troops into three groups to avoid being ambushed by the enemy along the way and being unable to recover.

This time, they simulated the Japanese Army's rapid reaction team, trucks and cavalry. The Japanese thought they were their own people and even waved and cheered.

When they arrived in front of the Japanese infantry battalion, Major Yamashita was overjoyed and turned around to express his welcome.

At this moment, Su Fei stood on the truck and started firing a machine gun!

The fierce strafing instantly turned more than 400 main force soldiers including Major Yamashita into pieces.

More than 10 machine guns are firing to ensure that you will not be ignored!

At the same time, Su Fei's small force attacked the Japanese artillery positions.

More than one hundred Japanese soldiers, who were shooting while sweating profusely, were strafed by 30 machine guns and all died on the spot.

The Japanese army surrounded Wanjia Town, and there were some troops in other directions, on both wings of the main battlefield on the east side of the town. Of course, the Japanese army discovered the earth-shattering tragedy and immediately opened fire.

The battle begins.

The mortars and machine guns of Su Fei's troops did not get off the trucks, but directly bombarded and suppressed the Japanese army, covered the machine guns while they loaded bullets, and then fired strafes.

The troops were divided into two groups, 200 people each, attacking the enemy, suppressing them with artillery fire and strafing by machine guns. The brutal firepower made it impossible for the Japanese army to resist, and they were blown to pieces like porcelain.

Japanese Major Yamashita's infantry battalion had only more than 280 people left, scattered in three directions. Its manpower was weak, and its firepower was simply weak compared to Su Fei's troops.

There were only 18 light machine guns, 16 grenade launchers, 2 heavy machine guns, and 6 mortars in total. They were divided into several long encirclement circles, with very few people and very weak firepower.

There are 400 people in the two groups of Su Fei's army. They originally had more than 160 machine guns, and now with the ones captured in the surprise attack, there are almost 200 machine guns. They unleashed a violent storm, a torrent of steel, and destroyed everything in their path like a blitzkrieg!

The Japanese army realized that something was wrong and fled in panic.

Su Fei's army used trucks and cavalry to chase and soon strangled all the Japanese troops in the dirty mud.

Regardless of the corpses of the Japanese troops, Su Fei's troops quickly cleaned up the battlefield and confiscated the Japanese weapons and ammunition.

At this moment, Su Fei's walkie-talkie received an urgent call from more than 60 officers and soldiers of the remaining troops. He knew that the Japanese reinforcements were coming.

The officers and soldiers who stayed behind used machine gun fire to surprise the enemy, and then took advantage of the enemy's confusion to retreat immediately and ask for instructions from the car.

That’s great. Invite them to Wanjia Town immediately. Remember, the Japanese siege force has been defeated. Let them lure the enemy over from the south.

Su Fei's troops quickly set up an ambush in the southeast direction of Wanjia Town.

If we draw a dotted line from the east to the south of Wanjia Town, Su Fei's troops are hiding on both sides. Of course, they are staggered, otherwise stray bullets will accidentally injure many of their own people.

Su Fei's 200 men have lost more than 30 people due to combat consumption. One side is ambushing in the northwest direction of the road. Another troop is hiding 500 meters west of the road and 200 meters southwest of the road in a straight line.

The horses and trucks were stationed in a ravine.

Wei Dayong's troops were urgently called out, together with the militia company and civilians, to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield, guarding the horses, captured enemy artillery, etc., as a reserve force.

After about half an hour, Su Fei's cavalry fought and retreated, drawing the Japanese over.

There were many devils, like a crazy mudslide, but under the provocation of dozens of Su Fei's cavalrymen, they simply couldn't stop.

The bait cavalry that lured the enemy also suffered losses. Out of more than 60 people, only more than 40 were left.

The cavalry charged quickly and passed the ambush site.

About 400 meters apart.

When most of the Japanese troops entered the ambush area, Su Fei took the lead in opening fire.

A Japanese infantry battalion, with more than a thousand people, had troops in the front fighting, charging and pursuing, with a skirmish line more than 100 meters wide, and troops in the back were in a dense marching column, which was too long!

The ambush area could not completely engulf the Japanese army's marching column, so Su Fei's troops could only open fire.

beat!

100 machine guns spread out in a wide fan pattern, strafing the densely marching enemy columns on the road.

The ambush position was also 300 meters long.

In an instant, countless bright blood flowers were blown out of the Japanese army's troops.

More than 500 Japanese troops in the rear were almost wiped out.

The lively Japanese soldiers were beaten into pieces like tomatoes, jumping around on the road, rolling and spitting blood.

He was hit through the body before he could even react.

At the same time, there were more than 30 mortars, machine guns, and grenade launchers to help suppress the Japanese firepower points.

The firepower was too fierce.

The Japanese army was powerless to resist.

Not only were they unable to resist, but they were also defeated by mortar shells and had no choice but to flee to the west.

Some Japanese troops tried to crawl down and fight, but were bombarded by mortar shells and grenade launchers, and Geng En could not survive.

Su Fei's troops successfully killed and wounded part of the enemy and drove the others to the west.

The Japanese troops were fleeing when suddenly, fire from 100 machine guns came from the south side of the road and hit them head-on.

Da da da da da da!

The terrifying roar of light machine guns was everywhere.

In just a few seconds, most of the 500-plus Japanese soldiers were killed or seriously injured, losing their combat effectiveness. After being strafed by the second round of machine gun fire, they were completely defeated, with not a single feather left!

An entire infantry battalion, 1150 men, was wiped out.

Their commander was Lieutenant Colonel Zhigu. Before his death, he twisted his head and watched the enemy coming to clean up the battlefield. He was unwilling to accept it. They were destroyed before the battle even started?

The Imperial Army is a magnificent infantry battalion!

It’s so tragic, ahhhhhhh.

After spitting out the last bit of blood, he closed his eyes in grievance.

More than 70 wounded Japanese soldiers were captured, all of them seriously injured. Some stubbornly refused to be rescued, while others begged for mercy. The stubborn ones were the veterans, while the cowardly ones were the new recruits.

All the equipment of a Japanese infantry battalion ended up in the pockets of Su Fei's troops.

There are too many of them! Call out all the people of Wanjia Town, men, women, young and old, come out!

Soon, a large number of weapons and ammunition were moved like ants into Wanjia Town.

At this point, Su Fei's troops had won three battles and three victories. With the cooperation of Wei Dayong's special forces company, the Wanjia Town militia company, and the local people, they successively wiped out the Shanxia Infantry Battalion, the Zhigu Infantry Battalion, and the Qiushan Detachment, a total of 3000 people.

They lost nearly 160 people, and together with Wei Dayong's special forces company, Wanjia Town militia company and civilians, they lost more than 200 people, and ended the battle with a fierce record.

At this time, I got the news.

It was the Eighth Route Army cavalry who came to deliver the letter, and with the addition of telegrams and walkie-talkie code reminders, Su Fei confirmed that the main force of the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong, more than a thousand people, joined the battle and were outside Baijia Town, raiding the Japanese army led by Colonel Yamazaki's troops and a fierce battle was in progress.

Without a doubt, request support.

Su Fei was extremely moved.

Originally, he thought that his peripheral troops were enough to kill the Japanese army in seconds, but now it seems that he was too arrogant.

If it weren't for Wei Dayong's backbone of the special forces company who held on to Wanjia Town, all his plans would have been in vain.

After joining the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, he was plotted against by Qian Bojun and his entire army was almost wiped out in Heiyagou. After joining the Banlazi Nationalist Army led by Commander Zu, he was again plotted against by an insider and was almost trapped to death in Baishishan. Only with the Eighth Route Army could he receive timely rescue.

"Assemble the team immediately and set out to reinforce the outskirts of Baijia Town."

There are too few troops, including Wei Dayong's special forces company, there are less than 500 people.

The entire army set out, and only the militia company stayed on the spot to protect the people of Wanjia Town and hid in the tunnels.

Su Fei's troops took off the Japanese uniforms and changed into the uniforms of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army. They rode on trucks and war horses, moved almost all the artillery onto the trucks, and turned the infantry guns and mortars into truck guns.

More than 300 light machine guns were taken away!

More than 90 mortars, take them away!

Since the troops were not enough, they recruited 200 people from Wanjia Town to assist the artillery.

The troops galloped all the way and entered the outskirts of Baijia Town at the fastest speed.

On the way, they encountered obstructions from the Japanese Army's guard forces. The cavalry consisted of a squad of about ten men. Facing these devil cavalry, the cavalry in front of Su Fei's unit used their ultimate move and fired machine guns.

What we lack in shooting skills, we make up for in numbers.

The result was that the Japanese cavalry suffered a crushing defeat and most of them were wiped out.

The Japanese army naturally got the news and immediately sent troops to stop them.

A squadron of infantry arrived.

Without waiting for the enemy to prepare, the troops launched a fierce barrage of fire from truck guns and dozens of mortars, reducing the Japanese army to rubble. The infantry squadron of more than 170 men suffered over 150 casualties and fled without even a chance to engage in combat.

They chased and killed the Japanese all the way, broke through three blockade lines of the Japanese army in succession, killed more than 400 Japanese soldiers, and finally confronted the Japanese army head-on.

Upon receiving the news, Su Fei's troops in Baijia Town immediately fought with all their might, with artillery roaring and machine guns firing, tying down a large number of Japanese troops.

On the side of the Independent Regiment, the battle was more difficult because the Japanese army used 12 field artillery pieces of an artillery battalion to carry out a fierce bombardment, which put unilateral pressure on the regiment and caused heavy losses.

However, Su Fei's truck was fast and arrived not far from the enemy, only about 1,500 meters away from the enemy's field artillery position. He immediately bombarded the enemy with a mortar group.

The mortar's rate of fire is much faster, 20 rounds a minute. Moreover, in three annihilation battles, a large amount of enemy ammunition was seized, so there is no need to worry.

After a round of bombing, all the officers and soldiers on the Japanese field artillery position were killed or wounded, and some shells exploded, leaving the position in a mess and losing its combat capability.

Su Fei's cavalry unit consisted of more than 300 people, almost everyone of whom was holding a machine gun and shooting at the enemy. The wide fan-shaped fire formed a terrifying suppressive firepower.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

There was the sound of machine gun fire everywhere, flames gushing out, and crossfire, like an invisible scythe, reaping the Japanese army again and again.

Absolute firepower is absolute truth!

After bombing the Japanese field artillery, the crazy truck mortar group bombarded the Japanese infantry.

The battle has entered a fever pitch!

Two infantry battalions plus the regiment headquarters, the Yamazaki Regiment, with 2600 people, faced a three-pronged attack from Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment of 1500 people and Su Fei's 1000 people.

After losing the power of field artillery, the Japanese army was completely suppressed.

Especially Su Fei's troops, who crushed the Japanese army crazily. His more than 300 machine guns and the more than 300 machine guns of the troops left behind in Baijia Town, although most of them were Japanese Type 99 rifles, which were broken stuff, but there were too many of them. They were much more efficient than the Japanese 38 rifles. Without waiting for the Japanese to fire a second shot, or even the first shot, they used dense rain of bullets to kill the devils.

Destroy everything!

Less than 10 minutes after Su Fei's troops joined the battlefield and Baijiazhen's troops began their counterattack, the Japanese army collapsed.

The decisive battle, a fight to the death.

The Japanese army did not retreat, and the defeated troops also put up a stubborn resistance because they knew that retreat would be a dead end and they would be caught up.

They also planned to keep fighting until reinforcements arrived.

They didn't know that the three nearest troops had been wiped out and turned into zombies in the mud.

Twenty minutes later, Colonel Yamazaki committed suicide.

30 minutes later, the main force of the Japanese Yamazaki Regiment was completely wiped out.

From the regiment commander to the groom, no one escaped.

Amidst the corpses scattered across the mountains, Japanese soldiers left behind 12 75mm field guns, 4 mountain guns from a regimental artillery squadron, 4 infantry guns, over 20 mortars, several grenade launchers, over 90 machine guns, and 1400 rifles.
