Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

The 1st Infantry Battalion of the newly formed 1st Regiment of the 26th Division and the cavalry squadron of the regiment, more than 1300 people, were completely wiped out.

While leading the cavalry to besiege a village, Lieutenant Sezuki Fumio, the cavalry squadron leader, was shot in the head by a machine gun. He and more than 60 of his men died on the spot.

During the siege of a village, the infantry battalion commander, Major Yoshida Nakae, was bombarded by artillery shells, and he and more than 400 of his officers and soldiers died at the same time.

The firepower of Su Fei's troops was so fierce that it far exceeded the cognition of all Japanese soldiers.

If they knew that Su Fei's army in this village had more than a hundred machine guns, they would never take the initiative to attack.

If they knew that Su Fei's army had hidden nearly 40 mortars nearby, they would not have advanced rashly.

If they knew that Su Feijun still had 400 automatic rifles, they would not chase him so easily.

The Japanese army's understanding of the Chinese army is still stuck in several years ago, and is even very contemptuous.

They paid a heavy price for their ignorance.

To annihilate the enemy's pursuers, Su Fei's army added 2 infantry guns, 14 mortars, more than 40 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 450 military horses.

In theory, the Japanese infantry battalion is quite strong and should be able to compete with Su Fei's light cavalry unit.

The problem was that they were too arrogant, believing that after so many battles, the Su Fei army had been severely depleted and their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced. Little did they know that their cavalry had rashly attacked the village and was almost instantly mowed down. Their artillery, which had set up artillery to bombard the village, was also targeted by the Su Fei army's artillery hidden outside. Neither the Japanese artillery nor the cavalry played their due role.

After the battle, Su Fei's army made a long raid to the northwest.

Within a day, they traveled hundreds of miles and arrived at Tianzhen County, which is between Datong and Zhangjiakou.

This time, Su Feijun adopted a strategy of strong attack.

Their vanguard disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and rested 500 meters outside the city. The Japanese and puppet troops in the county were overjoyed, thinking they were their own people, and even sent people out to reward them.

Su Fei's troops also asked the people nearby and learned that the enemies here had gathered outside the city to pursue the so-called Chinese ghost troops. There were only dozens of Japanese troops and hundreds of puppet troops in the city.

However, the Japanese army was very vigilant. The Japanese officers who came to reward them soon changed their expressions and discovered the loophole.

That was, all the soldiers looked at him with sarcasm and strange eyes, but he was not a fool.

The vanguard troops detained the enemy, and the artillery immediately bombarded the Japanese troops in the county town. A cavalry company launched an assault. When they reached the city gate, the Japanese and puppet troops were so scared by the artillery fire that they had no time to resist.

They entered the city, wiped out the remaining enemy forces, seized a large amount of enemy supplies and ammunition, and mobilized the people to join the battle. The people were stunned by these well-equipped national army troops who dared to bully the Japanese.

Join over 200 people directly.

Here, they seized more than 300 Japanese war horses and more than 500 war horses from the puppet regime of Mengjiang, making a fortune.

After eating and drinking, the entire army crossed the Yanghe River, galloped southwest, and entered Yanggao County.

It was also after a battle.

Under the unprecedented heavy artillery fire and the continuous replenishment of artillery shells due to the capture of enemy county strongholds, Su Fei formally established an artillery battalion with 46 mortars, a separate machine gun battalion, an 81 rifle battalion, and a baggage battalion, with a total number of 1400 people and more than 2600 war horses.

They bombarded the Japanese stronghold in the county town directly with artillery fire, suppressing the enemy, and then charged fiercely with cavalry. The 81st Rifle Battalion rushed to the city wall, continued to suppress the enemy with firepower, and blasted the city gates with blasting tubes, allowing them to swarm in.

When the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese and puppet troops immediately gathered to counterattack. The Japanese and puppet troops counterattacked in large numbers, and their fighting power was extremely fierce.

It was far beyond Su Feijun's imagination.

No matter how many enemies there are, just fight them.

The more ferocious you are, the more excited we are.

Come on, come on!

Su Fei's 81st Rifle Battalion of more than 300 people fought for a full twenty minutes before defeating the enemy.

Later we learned that the Japanese army had just mobilized a large number of troops from Datong here.

A battalion of Japanese infantry!

The puppet Mengjiang regime also frightened a puppet army division of more than 2500 people.

In the battle inside Yanggao City, within twenty minutes, Su Fei's 81st Rifle Battalion directly killed more than 800 Japanese soldiers and more than 600 puppet soldiers.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a bloody storm!

The Japanese army thought they could suppress Su Fei's army with a fierce counterattack, but unexpectedly, there were crazy roaring barrages and rain of bullets everywhere, and the charging Japanese army ended up on a journey of disgrace.

Three Japanese infantry squadron leaders died in the charge.

The Japanese infantry battalion commander Yi Yuqi Saburo was so angry that he vomited blood when he saw the corpses everywhere.

The puppet army collapsed first.

The main reason is that the opponent's firepower is too fierce.

While charging, the Japanese army bombarded with artillery fire, with more than 10 mortars and 2 infantry guns, which was a lot of artillery fire.

The problem was that as soon as their artillery fire began, it was seen by officers and soldiers entering the city, and the officers immediately used walkie-talkies to guide the artillery battalion to bombard the enemy.

Walkie-talkies played a significant role in enhancing the power of artillery.

More than 40 mortars, 6 infantry guns, 8 anti-tank guns, and several times more powerful artillery fire suppressed the Japanese army. What's more, Su Fei's army's tactics were blitzkrieg, so they had to use firepower to suppress the enemy?

Full fire, the sky is falling and the earth is cracking.

The Japanese artillery was quickly silenced.

The Japanese counterattack is also very interesting.

They charged with rifles in hand. The shooting in front was done by the single-shot bolt-action 38 rifle, which was once extremely agile, but compared to Su Feijun's 81-bar automatic rifle, it was incredibly slow.

Before the Japanese could fire one shot, the enemy's Su Fei army soldiers had already fired more than a dozen bullets.

Bang, bang, bang, one soldier can shoot several Japanese soldiers.

Especially when the Japanese army charged in groups, a dozen Su Fei riflemen could kill more than a hundred Japanese soldiers within three to five seconds.

The Japanese and puppet troops had to flee from the west gate of the county town.

Su Fei's army did not block the enemy, but instead captured the entire county and then chased them out.

The cavalry gave a fierce pursuit, with an all-star lineup of cavalrymen that the Japanese had not expected.

After chasing them for more than 10 miles, all the Japanese troops were wiped out.

Don’t let any one go. You can surrender, but those who don’t surrender will die!

Puppet troops such as the Imperial Army could also surrender.

The battle lasted for 2 hours and wiped out more than 2700 Japanese and puppet troops!

1100 Japanese soldiers were killed, more than 90 were captured, more than 800 puppet soldiers were captured, and 700 were killed.

The equipment and ammunition of a Japanese infantry battalion were seized, and a large amount of ammunition from the puppet army was seized.

The Japanese battalion commander Yi Yuqi Saburo surrendered, but he didn't really surrender. Instead, he wanted to know why the Chinese army's firepower was so fierce: "I want to die without regrets!"

After seeing the automatic rifles equipped in large quantities by the Chinese army, this Japanese major specifically asked about their performance and went crazy.

Crazy, crying and laughing.

"Hehehe, the Empire lost. Lost."
