Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

"what?"

"This is actually true!"

"Commander, did you really attack Yangmingbao? It's over 700 miles? It was a life-threatening situation."

Chief of Staff Qian Tongshen came with his troops to greet them, and everyone was full of admiration!

Su Fei didn't care about that. He quickly arranged coolies, experts, technicians, and prisoners to find a suitable place near the base to build a military factory and start research and production.

Qian Tongshen was so excited that he sent telegrams and made phone calls one after another to report Su Fei's battle achievements to Commander Wang of the Provisional First Army. They launched a surprise attack on Yangmingbao, wiped out a large Japanese airport and stronghold in one fell swoop, eliminated a Japanese infantry company and a puppet army battalion, and also recovered three sets of military equipment and rescued nearly 500 military experts, technicians, and coolies.

Commander Wang arrived in person, and Commander Yang soon followed. They couldn't believe their ears when they saw it. Indeed, a Japanese infantry squadron's weapons and equipment were fully inspected. Three mortars, one heavy machine gun, 12 light machine guns, 12 grenade launchers, not counting rifles and pistols, there were also 278 puppet rifles, 56 pistols, one machine gun, a large amount of ammunition, 32 Japanese war horses, and 15 trucks...

"Commander Su, Brother Su Fei, you are truly courageous! Yangmingbao Airport was once the place where the Eighth Route Army destroyed 24 Japanese planes. An entire Eighth Route Army regiment became famous in one battle. Now, you have brought honor to our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"

The two senior generals were overjoyed and discussed on the spot to reward Su Fei himself with 2000 oceans and the 150 cavalry officers and soldiers who participated in the battle with 100 oceans each.

After receiving the reward and meeting Su Fei, the two surprised officers left and immediately rushed to report to the president, who was hidden in the mountains not far from the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River.

Although the results were not great, the experience was legendary!

The president personally called Su Fei, his thick Wutai accent full of kindness and concern: "Commander Su Fei, you have worked hard. Never take risks like this again in the future!"

Su Fei didn't care about this and took the opportunity to seize the great opportunity.

"President, I want to buy some accessories for weapons and equipment. I hope you can help me!"

When the president asked, Su Fei said that they were scopes used on sniper rifles, ranging from 4x to 8x, and the more the better.

The president agreed distressedly: "How much does this cost?"

Su Fei agreed to pay 2000 yuan first, which was a reward from his two superiors.

The president immediately smiled brightly.

Su Fei once again proposed to buy some new things. These things were auxiliary equipment that could enhance vision. He would disassemble them into parts, send someone to deliver them to the president, and then go through other channels to purchase them abroad.

The president became anxious: "How much will this cost? Do you have the money?"

Of course Su Fei had no money.

Moreover, the equipment of this night vision device cannot be told to the president, let alone given to some foreign institutions!

A complete night vision device must be purchased in multiple batches from overseas, preferably from different manufacturers to ensure confidentiality. Initial research results have already emerged in North America and Germany, and they should be available in a year or two. Although these are rudimentary products, they are still incredibly powerful.

He paid for the purchase with the fruits of his battles.

The president agreed hesitantly.

Su Fei sighed, knowing that there would be no further developments.

However, it would be nice if I could just buy a few dozen high-power scopes.

After finishing the call with the president, Su Fei and the rescued military experts and technicians began to develop new weapons.

He presented three sets of drawings and described the performance of the weapons. Among them, the Type 03 assault rifle was directly rejected because he did not have the relevant technology and the most he could develop was the Type 81 firearm.

However, the separate production of 5.8mm bullets and the redesign of the manufacturing production line are not only extremely costly and expensive, but also inefficient. Therefore, the experts decided to change the caliber to 6.5mm so that the captured Japanese Saka-type bullets can be used!

Their equipment had been modified under the coercion of the Japanese army and could produce Saka-style bullets.

Even the captured Japanese shells and warheads can be reused and installed!

OK.

The experts, technicians, and laborers were all grateful to Su Fei for rescuing them, and were amazed by the weapon's superior performance. They worked day and night on research and development, and soon produced a prototype gun within three days!

Because Su Fei has listed all the data and drawings, we only need to adjust the caliber and optimize Su Fei's drawings.

"Commander, you said that these are the design drawings proposed by Germany and the Soviet Union respectively? They are indeed extraordinary." In order not to shock these experts and technicians, he falsely said that the drawings were top-secret drawings leaked from Germany and the Soviet Union.

After the test, the experts and technicians were stunned.

The bullet capacity is 30 rounds, the initial velocity is 700 meters per second, the effective range is 400 meters, the firing rate reaches 650 rounds per minute, and it is still lethal at 2000 meters away!

The key is, automatic rifle, automatic rifle!

Each soldier using it is equivalent to a machine gunner, each with a small machine gun! Moreover, the firepower is far more powerful than the Japanese machine guns. It is lightweight, easy to operate, has a very low failure rate, good shooting accuracy, and good reliability...

"Commander Su, this is fantastic, this is brilliant, it's just that we never dreamed of such a good gun."

"And the bayonet design, the three-edged bayonet, is so fierce! It can be used to reduce weight, but it can also be used as a blood drain. If you get stabbed, you'll definitely be dead."

"Commander Su, you are truly amazing."

"Why do I feel like these don't look like blueprints developed by the Germans and Soviets? Because the Japanese have been constantly providing information about military equipment development, but there's no information about this gun."

Of course, the ancestor of the Type 81 rifle, the AK47, had not yet been born!

Su Fei ordered that the matter be kept strictly confidential and that production be started immediately without delay!

We also need to ensure that these experts and technicians receive the best treatment and the greatest safety possible, and we must also find a way to ensure the supply of raw materials.

By the way, we will improve and adjust the firearms, and produce 300 of them first, each equipped with 2000 rounds of bullets.

The experts and technicians were ecstatic and extremely grateful to Su Fei. With the successful development of this gun, they all clearly realized that their military industry had become first-class in firearms.

"Also, these are the drawings and performance parameters of the grenade launcher." Su Fei took out another set of drawings and explained the situation.

More than 20 experts and more than 100 technicians were stunned.

"For individual soldiers, it can fire 35mm to 40mm grenades continuously, equivalent to a machine gun or cannon? No, it's an ultra-light machine gun?"

They had seen machine guns and had produced them before, but they were bulky and difficult to move. They also had many components and were very complicated. They had never expected that there could be such a design!

So excited.

Some people produced 81-bar automatic rifles and bullets, while others began to develop 35mm grenade launchers.

Su Fei couldn't wait here, so he divided the manufacturing drawings of the night vision goggles into several copies and sent them to the independent regiment, requesting Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao Gang to purchase some key components from abroad through the Eighth Route Army's underground secret channels.

Fifteen days later, 400 Type 81 automatic rifles were produced and the ammunition was fully equipped. There was no big problem with ammunition because there were many Saka-type bullets captured from the Japanese army.

After testing and acceptance, 300 pieces were selected.

Su Fei was immediately assigned to the First Regiment and the officers and soldiers were asked to train, which made the officers and soldiers very happy.

Each one is so beautiful that it makes your nose bubble.

"Such a light gun, with such powerful firepower, a small portable machine gun. Much more powerful than the machine guns imported from Germany!"

After a little training, Su Fei will be ready to send troops!

There were Japanese troops stationed more than 50 miles away, with bunkers everywhere.

Black Cloud Town.

It was a thorn that the Japanese army wedged deeply into the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's position.

An elite Japanese Army Guard Unit, the First Unit, is stationed there.

They were arrogant and domineering, with excellent ceremonial shooting skills and fierce artillery fire. They repeatedly attacked the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, plundered the surrounding civilians, killed and burned people, and committed all kinds of evil. They had long been a thorn in the eyes of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Unfortunately, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had attacked many times in a row, but was defeated miserably. The most recent time was when Chu Yunfei led a division of troops to attack. After losing more than 400 people, they were forced to retreat and were chased and defeated by the Japanese army!

Before the attack, Su Fei specifically inquired about the situation.

Chu Yunfei was so ashamed that he recounted the battle situation and warned Su Fei not to attack Heiyun Town, as that would only bring trouble.

"Brother, listen to my advice. The Japanese fortifications are strong and all permanent, made of reinforced concrete. Moreover, they have at least 15 mortars, 5 anti-tank guns, and 2 infantry guns. Don't fight a rock with an egg."

Su Fei expressed his gratitude for Chu Yunfei's warning.

"Commander Chu, I'm just training the new recruits! Let them see some blood!"

Chu Yunfei sighed: "Then you have to see the situation. This is a tough nut to crack. Unless you have enough field artillery!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfei called Fang Ligong and others, "Listen, staring at the phone every day, I want to see how badly Su Fei loses this time! Alas, he doesn't listen to any advice at all, too arrogant."

Fang Ligong understood the situation and said with a smile: "Master is right. If you don't listen to the advice of the elders, you will suffer the consequences! How can Su Fei be an exception? I think he..."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand to stop him: "Yeah!"

……

Su Fei led the first regiment of 700 people and quickly approached the enemy bunker within 800 meters. The Japanese army was very nervous and entered combat status.

From 4000 meters away, mountain artillery was used, and from 2000 meters away, mortars were used to attack Japanese strongholds.

One mountain cannon had a great destructive effect on the bunker, and three mortar shells flew through the air and fell in a parabolic trajectory, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese troops in the trenches near the bunker.

The Japanese army was angry and immediately retaliated with firepower.

But the strange thing was that no matter how the Japanese artillery bombarded, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army artillery columns would always pop up again after a while to shoot.

They didn't know that Su Fei brought 6 mortars, kept a distance from each other, hid behind the woods, fired a few shots, and then hid in the dug anti-artillery holes. They would emerge again after the Japanese bombing was over.

The mountain artillery bombarded a few times and then quickly moved their positions.

Fight against the Japanese army flexibly and flexibly.

The Japanese army's bunkers, trenches and garrison courtyards were all fixed, while Su Fei's troops were mobile on a large scale. In most cases, the Japanese artillery shells were blind fire, which was a pure waste of shells.

After a while, the Japanese army suffered more than a hundred casualties. Unable to bear it any longer, many soldiers rushed out of the bunkers to attack.

"It's despicable and shameful. The Chinese army can suppress us with just a mountain cannon? Charge out, defeat them, and kill them!" Major Sakata, commander of the Japanese garrison, was furious.

An important military base with more than 500 people was actually bullied by hundreds of Chinese troops?

Moreover, they discovered that the people who came were the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which had always been weak and disorganized and did not dare to confront the Japanese army.

Major Sakata observed carefully and found that among the more than 4 enemies, only more than 100 of them were using rifles, and they were the old Hanyang-made ones with a short range and poor quality.

The others were actually holding bamboo poles and wooden sticks.

These people...are either here to die or to make people laugh.

Damn it, are you here to disgust me?

A toad crawling on your feet will make you sick to death!

Observing the distance, Major Sakata discovered that there were indeed more than 200 Shanxi-Suiyuan Army cavalrymen waiting in a skirmish line in the distance, as if they were an ambush.

Is it to lure the enemy deeper into our territory? To lure the snake out of its lair?

Major Sakata had successively defeated the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army and the harassment of the guerrillas. How could he tolerate such a humiliation?

He disdained to bombard the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army with artillery fire for fear of scaring them away.

Besides, the troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were extremely dispersed, and the efficiency of artillery bombardment was too low.

The Jinsui Army is so disorganized, even if it is a bait or an ambush, what can it do?

200 cavalrymen?

Hahaha.

"Hey, Commander Chen, your cavalry regiment, command this Major to attack immediately from the right. Yes, to the west of the Black Cloud Town stronghold, there are Shanxi-Suiyuan Army cavalry attempting to ambush our troops. Advisor Dongxiang, you know what I mean. Urge the Imperial Army Cavalry Regiment to attack immediately!"

"Lieutenant Nogi, your armored vehicle units will attack immediately, at top speed! Yes."

Major Sakata made a phone call and ordered the Japanese and puppet army mobile forces in the nearby stronghold to attack quickly.

The three strongholds are arranged in a triangular shape and support each other, which is an important reason for their invincibility.

"Hayi!"

"Hayi!"

Major Sakata ordered the infantry who had charged out to continue the attack. The Japanese troops were divided into three groups, charging and shooting at the same time. The Japanese troops were extremely brave in the skirmish line.

More than 400 Shanxi-Suiyuan Army infantrymen retreated immediately.

The Japanese army slowed down and continued shooting, relying on various obstacles and gullies.

"Haha, stupid Shanxi-Suiyuan Army." More than 300 Japanese soldiers chased Su Fei's bait troops, shooting targets with precise shooting techniques while secretly laughing at the opponent's poor tactical intentions.

Su Fei's troops retreated quickly.

When Su Fei's army stopped firing, Sakata also stopped his own artillery fire, even prohibiting the firing of heavy machine guns and cannons. "We can't scare the enemy away!"

In thirty minutes, the Japanese army, with ulterior motives, advanced 2000 meters. Su Feijun retreated to the position of the mountain artillery 4000 meters away. "Division Commander, the enemy, there are Japanese armored units and Imperial Army cavalry on our flanks and rear. There are so many of them."

Su Fei smiled faintly and led the cavalry to rush towards the Imperial Army cavalry!
