Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

"Draw your sabers!"

"Array up!"

"Charge! Kill them!"

Japanese military advisor Lieutenant Togo and the commander of the Imperial Army Cavalry Regiment issued serious orders one after another. More than 280 Imperial Army cavalrymen and more than 30 Japanese cavalrymen formed neat and orderly queues and rushed towards Su Fei's cavalry unit.

How could a coalition of more than 300 well-trained Japanese and puppet cavalrymen be afraid of 200 cavalrymen of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army? Moreover, these cavalrymen were not only small in number, but also did not carry rifles, only a saber, and they charged towards this side, shaking as if they were drunk.

Humph, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, a bunch of good-for-nothings, actually dared to challenge the Imperial Japanese Army? They're really courting death!

The Japanese cavalry didn't know that the 200 cavalrymen led by Su Fei personally hung the small and exquisite Type 81 rifles behind them with lengthened straps. To the enemy, it looked like they had no rifles!

Cavalry with only sabers?

Are you out of your mind?

What if the Imperial Army shot with rifles from two or three hundred meters away?

The Japanese and puppet cavalry were not afraid at all of a small group of pure saber cavalry who did not carry rifles!

The two sides quickly approached.

Su Fei's troops opened up their distance and rushed towards the Japanese and puppet troops in a wide formation.

The Japanese and puppet troops also formed a wide front and rushed towards Su Fei's army.

"No shooting allowed. We must use sophisticated tactics and sabers to completely wipe out the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army." Lieutenant Togo, the Japanese military advisory officer, howled like a wolf.

When they were only a hundred meters apart, Su Fei gave the order, and the communicator beside him blew the bugle.

200 Shanxi-Suiyuan cavalrymen gradually stopped, put their sabers back into their scabbards, grabbed the 81-bar automatic rifles hidden behind them, and fired at the Japanese and puppet cavalrymen who were galloping across from them.

The 100 cavalrymen in front fired at the enemy, and in a blink of an eye, the Japanese and puppet troops were shot and fell off their horses.

One by one, the enemies were pierced in the face, had their heads exploded, and had their chests pierced by the rain of bullets from the front, as if they were being hit invisibly by heavy hammers in the air. Some of them instantly fell back from the saddle, rolled over, and flew out with a whoosh.

The war horses are still galloping!

The air was filled with smoke, and after just a few shots from the hundred officers and soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, all the enemies on the opposite side were killed.

Lieutenant Togo, the Japanese advisory officer, was shot in the chest. Because of the handguard, he didn't drop his saber. His vision went dark and he collapsed. His blurred mind was filled with anger and unwillingness: "Shame on you! You actually hid a machine gun... Machine gun? No... Rifle? No... Baka, what the hell is that?"

The puppet army's commander, Chen, was also killed. This puppet Mongolian, a bandit from a different background, had once been an officer in the Northeast Army, a skilled horseman and marksman. Now, with bullets piercing his right arm and shoulder, blood gushed out. "Assholes, you're using machine guns? No, you..."

Almost all the Japanese and puppet troops were stunned by this terrifying metal jet. What was that?

They haven't seen it.

The rifle with the fastest firing rate is not as fast as the North American Garand eight-shot rifle.

A rifle can fire more than a dozen bullets?

what?

In just a few seconds, more than 320 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. No one was spared.

Not to mention that the Japanese and puppet troops were stunned, the seriously injured were still confused, and even the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army itself had been trained, but was still stunned.

"Oh my god, this rifle is so powerful! I've never seen one before!"

"It's such a pleasure."

"It's just as good as a machine gun, and it's much lighter. You can shoot from any position!"

"Commander, Commander Su, you are truly amazing. You are a master at fighting, and you are also the best at making firearms. Yes, you are the best!"

"We are blessed now that Commander Su has arrived."

Su Fei ordered to confiscate the enemy's weapons and ammunition immediately.

He noticed that all the cavalry of this Japanese puppet army used the Japanese Army's 38 rifles and 32-type sabers, full Japanese equipment. Aren't the rifle bullets what we need?

Leaving behind 100 cavalrymen to clean up the battlefield, especially to collect more than 300 war horses from the Japanese and puppet troops, he led 100 cavalrymen back to fight.

It seems that the power of automatic rifles is far beyond imagination, and 100 people are enough.

Of course, in this battle, the Japanese and puppet cavalry were wiped out, and Su Fei's cavalry suffered zero casualties. It was not only a problem of weapons, but also because of the hidden rifles, the fraud was successful.

The enemy's armored vehicle unit coming from the south consisted of four tanks, more than 30 cavalry, and more than 100 infantry.

Su Fei ignored the enemy. According to the pre-arrangement, he led the cavalry to take a detour and quickly returned to the Japanese Heiyun Town!

They avoided the main force of the Japanese army and ignored the enemy's flanking encirclement troops, took advantage of the opportunity and directly attacked the enemy's bunker group.

The Japanese army noticed it.

There were still Japanese soldiers in the bunker group. A few of them were on the bunkers and trenches, looking at the cavalry that suddenly appeared a few hundred meters away. They felt no fear in their hearts, only contempt.

Humph, you are too childish.

Actually playing such a trick?

Want to make a sneak attack?

Dream it.

One class of our Imperial Army is enough to defeat all of your cavalry.

Thirteen Japanese soldiers stood on bunkers and trenches, excitedly calling out to some medical soldiers and some lightly wounded soldiers: "Everyone come and join the battle. We will treat the enemy cavalry as living targets and strive to kill ten Chinese soldiers each!"

They did not see the progress of Su Fei's cavalry and the 300 Japanese puppet cavalry commanded by Lieutenant Togo under the cover of the village and woods, so they had no fear and were eager to try.

In their eyes, trenches and bunkers could easily stop a cavalry charge. Staying in front of a solid fortification was simply waiting for death. Stupid, stupid, incredibly stupid!

Cavalry attack?

Only these Chinese people can remember it, hahahaha.

On the other side, Japanese Major Sakata also discovered the problem. "The enemy is attacking our fortress? Hahaha. More than 100 cavalrymen are simply no match. As long as our army closes the city gate, they will be waiting to die!"

However, even so, he still sent an infantry squad of 50 people to support that side, with the goal of flanking the Chinese cavalry. Relying on the Japanese army's powerful special shooting skills, those cavalry were there to die.

"Continue the charge. Now, we must speed up, surround the enemy, and eliminate them all."

Major Sakata was puzzled. He saw reinforcements arriving on the left, armored vehicles and cavalry infantry, but what about the cavalry regiment on the right? That damn Lieutenant Togo, and that damn Commander Chen, had failed at the crucial moment and were dead!

According to the pre-war plan, 400 Shanxi-Suiyuan Army infantrymen retreated back to the artillery position, took out the rifles and machine guns hidden there, and fired at the enemy.

Su Fei's cavalry shouted all the way and rushed forward until they arrived in front of the Japanese fortress and trenches in Heiyun Town.

The Japanese soldiers raised their guns and aimed, ready to shoot at the live targets.

Of course, it is not easy to fight against cavalry that are constantly moving. The key is that the Japanese army does not want to fight early. Why?

I'm afraid that the other person will be frightened and turn his horse around and run away, so I can't beat him to my heart's content.

Hey hey hey.

Haha.

Come on, come on!

Red deer and wild wolves!

You don't even raise your sabers, are you going to grab our faces with your bare hands? Hahahaha.

Just when the Japanese army was feeling smug and ready to start a massacre, Su Fei's cavalry suddenly took out his automatic rifle and shot at the Japanese army.

Bang bang bang bang!

A series of bullets, a heavy rain of bullets, sprayed towards the Japanese army!

More than 30 vanguard cavalrymen fired fiercely at the Japanese army.

Before the Japanese soldiers could even shoot, they were penetrated by a hail of bullets and turned into transparent people with holes in them!

In the eyes of the Japanese army, a large flame was spurting out of the hands of every Chinese cavalryman!

what?

Their last consciousness was one of extreme shock.

Is that what it is?

Isn't it a rifle?

What is the machine gun firing rate?

Moreover, it is much faster and better than the Imperial Army’s damn rubbish Type 99 light machine gun?

Shouldn't a machine gun be operated by two people? Does one person need to lubricate the machine gun with an oil can? Isn't it necessary to clean out the gunpowder residue? Doesn't a machine gun jam?

Aren't there only 5 rounds of bullets in a rifle?

While the Japanese army was in shock, Su Fei's troops killed all 13 remaining Japanese soldiers, as well as more than a dozen medical staff and lightly wounded soldiers.

The Japanese army's counterattack and the preemptive shooting of the two devils also caused four casualties in Su Fei's cavalry.

One of the Japs was still shooting in the bunker.

He thought he was safe, but a volley of bullets flew over and turned him into tomato sauce.

Su Fei's army rushed into Heiyun Town and occupied the Japanese fortress group.

Some rushed in to seek out the enemy for a decisive battle, while others abandoned their horses and entered the trenches, bunkers, and city walls.

The Japanese troops in the town were empty, with only more than 30 wounded soldiers, who were seriously injured and had no combat effectiveness.

Here, four enemy 37mm anti-tank guns, two infantry guns and one mountain gun were captured.

The rest of the equipment, including light and heavy machine guns, machine guns, mortars, etc., were taken away by the Japanese army to attack.

Su Fei immediately led the officers and soldiers and used the captured artillery to fire fiercely at the Japanese army.

Suddenly, the Japanese suffered.

The shells whistled and the Japanese army was reduced to ashes!

The reason why the Japanese army did not carry these artillery pieces when they attacked was that these things were rather bulky and unnecessary.

Anti-tank guns are mainly used to deal with armored targets. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army only has infantry and cavalry, right?

Infantry guns and mountain guns are powerful, but they also require multiple people to drag and horse-drawn trucks to pull them.

In the eyes of Major Sakata, his troops have enough machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars to crush the enemy. They are also light and flexible, so why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Can the Chinese army survive the attack from three armies?

Aren’t armored vehicle troops a good counter to the enemy’s powerful firepower?

Now, someone reminded him, "Major, over there, our fortress has been breached by the enemy!"

what?

Major Sakata was stunned.

impossible.

A cavalry assault? A charge against a fort or a city wall could win the day?

He held up a telescope to observe and indeed saw a heartbreaking scene. The Jinsui Army was already showing off its power on the bunkers and city walls, and was even bombarding them with cannons, including infantry guns and mountain guns.

Ahhhhh!

Furious, he immediately ordered, "Nan Daojin, lead an infantry squadron back to reinforce! Drive out the enemy and recapture the fortifications."

As he was speaking, a shell exploded beside him, turning the infantry lieutenant Nan Daojin and his two guards who had just arrived into a pile of garbage.

Now, it dawned on him.

Raising his head from the cannon fodder, he brandished his saber: "Everyone, retreat, attack our position, destroy the enemy, and recapture our fortress!"

Even if you don't want to return, you can't, or you will be badly hit by the shells.

All the Japanese troops returned and counterattacked Heiyun Town.

At the same time, the Japanese armored forces and infantry and cavalry had engaged in a firefight with more than 400 Su Fei's Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The Japanese armored vehicles were very fierce, and the firepower of light and heavy machine guns was extremely dense.

However, they also have flaws.

Su Fei's artillery and infantry had already joined forces. The artillery, in particular, had launched an early attack on the Japanese. The armored vehicles were bombarded by mountain artillery. After three rounds, the first company's armored vehicles were reduced to ashes and engulfed in flames.

This was a battle that started from 800 meters away.

Not only that, mortars and other weapons were used to bombard the enemy, and hidden heavy machine guns were also firing fiercely at the enemy.

The Japanese troops there were forced to stop and look for obstacles and ravines to hide themselves.

The news they received was that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was extremely poorly equipped, and many people did not have rifles, so they were arrogant and domineering. Now, they also realized how powerful they were.

At the same time, Su Fei discovered that the main force of the enemy infantry began to return, so he immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and fired into the distance.

Mountain artillery and anti-tank guns bombarded the Japanese armored vehicle units 5000 meters away to support their own infantry and artillery.

The maximum range of the mountain artillery is close to 7000 meters, and the maximum range of the Japanese Type 94 37mm anti-tank gun is 5700 meters, so both can cover the enemy.

Their shooting caused chaos in the Japanese army, two armored vehicles were damaged, and the Japanese attack was hindered.

Su Fei left behind more than 100 cavalrymen. Seeing the urgent situation of the battle, he left 30 soldiers to guard the captured enemy horses, etc., and took out more than 80 people to encircle the enemy's armored vehicle troops from the flank.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese army hurriedly retreated to the southwest.

retreat?

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's mountain artillery here chased the Japanese armored vehicles and destroyed all the enemy vehicles one after another.

More than 80 cavalrymen immediately gave chase.

Chase and shoot at the same time.

Their fierce firepower comes from more than 80 light machine guns.

The Japanese army fled while resisting. After a chase of one thousand meters, more than 30 Japanese cavalrymen and more than 130 infantrymen were wiped out.

Several more Japanese soldiers were captured. They raised their hands to surrender voluntarily because they hid in the ditch and shouted that they wanted to surrender. Their only purpose was to find out what kind of machine gun the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was using.

When their demands were met, they burst into tears and cursed that their own Imperial Army arsenals were rubbish!

"There's actually such a powerful rifle in the world. It's even better than a machine gun."

The enemy retreated and was destroyed, and Su Fei's more than 400 main infantry and artillery units focused on dealing with the Japanese troops outside Heiyun Town.

One mountain cannon and several mortars fired fiercely at the fleeing Japanese army led by Major Sakata.

Of the more than 400 infantrymen, more than 300 were freed up to pursue the enemy.
