Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

retreat!

Su Fei's troops burned and exploded all the Japanese military supplies that they had not been able to take away, and took away the usable supplies by truck, including the bodies of the commander and chief of staff of the Japanese 26th Division.

According to the Japanese army's information and combat plan, Su Fei's troops bypassed the Japanese defense line, quickly returned to the main force, and evacuated together. After two days, they returned to their base in northwest Shanxi.

On the way, only a few remaining Japanese strongholds were intercepted, and they were directly bombed and shattered by the infantry guns and mountain guns carried by trucks! By the way, all the confused Japanese soldiers were beaten to death! Call you a bunch of bastards!

More than 80 Japanese trucks, nearly 3000 war horses, and equipment seized from 5000 Japanese soldiers and more than 3000 puppet soldiers. This exploratory expedition of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei cavalry yielded fruitful results.

After letting the officers and soldiers rest, Su Fei took several trucks loaded with spoils and went to the Sixth Army to report.

Upon hearing this, Commander Yang of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army rushed out of his concubine's bedroom, shoes off, and ran to the headquarters to greet him. "Commander Su, you're finally back! Although you have operational autonomy, you went to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei without a word, bringing only a few hundred men with you to cause trouble in a Japanese den. Isn't that courting death? The president scolded me like a bro! If you make a mistake, I, Yang, will die!"

Reported the whole process.

Commander Yang was so happy that he kept saying, "Great, great, great! Great! It's a miracle!"

After receiving the most important spoils of war, the commander and chief of staff of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army, the bodies of several Japanese generals and officers, and a large number of confidential documents from the headquarters, Commander Yang sighed: "What good stuff, what good stuff!"

He ordered his staff to take photos of the bodies of the Japanese officers, bury them, and erect a stone tablet: "Listen, just write, this is the burial place of many officers of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army killed by the Sixth Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army! Hahahaha."

"Commander Su Fei, you truly are the fierce Zhang Fei of our Sixth Army, our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. You can launch surprise attacks from thousands of miles away and behead generals as easily as taking something out of a bag!"

Then we had a drink to celebrate.

After eating and drinking, Commander Yang rewarded Su Fei's Independent Cavalry Army with 10,000 yuan.

Su Fei was also very relaxed and felt a sense of accomplishment. It was not only about his own military achievements, but also about using this catfish to activate the fighting spirit of the entire Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and play a greater role on the battlefield.

Commander Yang asked Su Fei to go with him to meet the president, but Su Fei politely declined: "Commander, we are definitely a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese army. Maybe there are already spies targeting me. If I go to see the president, will it expose the president's command center? Then the Japanese army will bomb us crazily..."

Commander Yang agreed deeply. "Commander Su, no wonder you are invincible on the battlefield. You beat such a tough little Japanese into losing their temper. You are really calm and composed. My Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is blessed!"

Return to the base.

Su Fei reorganized the entire army. The troops who participated in the expedition were considered veterans. They explained tactics to other officers and soldiers and studied the performance of the Japanese army's equipment and tactical characteristics. The army also increased by more than a thousand people, bringing the total strength to more than 3500.

The entire army was equipped with war horses, and there was surplus animal power used for baggage transportation.

The captured Japanese equipment strengthened the firepower of the cavalry army.

After nearly a month of expedition, the military factory produced another 500 Type 81 automatic rifles, mainly 200 grenade launchers and tens of thousands of special grenades.

Supplies were scarce, but fortunately Su Fei brought back some captured Japanese supplies, plus 10,000 yuan as funding.

The independent cavalry army was organized into two cavalry divisions and one artillery regiment.

Chu Yunfei is here.

After learning about the battle situation, he was filled with emotion: "Among the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Brother Su is the first one who dared to go on an expedition. With only a few hundred cavalrymen, he dared to go deep into the Japanese territory, galloping freely, invincible, beheading generals and capturing flags. I, Chu, can never compare to him in my dreams! Fortunately, you are my sworn brother, we are one family. If you were the enemy, I would be in trouble!"

Fang Ligong said with a smile: "The division commander has foresight. Now, Commander Su is your brother, and more than just a brother!"

Chu Yunfei's face was filled with shame, and he winked at Fang Ligong: "Commander Su, my troublesome sister Chu Yiyi has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

Su Fei then remembered and sent someone to call Chu Yiyi over.

Chu Yunfei quickly waved his hand to stop him: "My silly sister has always admired heroes, especially you. As long as you can forgive her, she will be satisfied!"

After that, he left.

Su Fei sensed there was something else going on and was about to change the subject when Fang Ligong said, "Commander Su, Chu Yiyi said she would not marry anyone but you. What do you think? You can't just watch her live out her life in loneliness and depression, can you?"

Su Fei hurriedly shook his head: "Brother Fang, you are too serious. Chu Yiyi is unparalleled in talent and beauty, how can she live alone for the rest of her life? Besides, I am her sworn brother! I have a wife at home..."

Fang Ligong simply stated, "This is what Brother Yunfei wants! As long as Brother Sufei is willing, Brother Yunfei's sister is willing to be your concubine! And Ning Wan'er will be given as well."

Su Fei didn't expect such a thing to happen, and instantly understood Chu Yunfei's intentions.

He fought for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the National Government to which he was loyal.

"Chief of Staff Fang, let me think about it?" Su Fei wanted to play dumb.

After all, in a few years, I will leave the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. I am in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to better fight the war! Especially for automatic rifles and grenade launchers, the arsenals on the Eighth Route Army side are not well equipped, and the supplies are scarce, so they are unable to develop and produce them...

"No, Commander Su, if you look down on our Commander Chu, or think Miss Chu Yiyi is not worthy of you and feel that she is an insult to you, then just refuse directly. Our Commander Chu has nothing to say!" Fang Ligong was aggressive.

Su Fei was extremely surprised: "Oh my God, Brother Fang, Miss Chu Yiyi is willing to be a concubine? Huh?"

Fang Ligong was overjoyed and patted Su Fei on the shoulder: "Brother Su, Commander Su, you are the commander. I am a dragon among men, how can I be your concubine? Of course, with all due respect, this is because Commander Chu Yunfei is particularly optimistic about you and has good intentions."

Su Fei's heart was surging.

If I agree, it will be difficult to return to the Eighth Route Army! If I return, I will also be branded as ungrateful.

But if I don't agree, it won't work.

"Brother Fang, I, Su Fei, couldn't be happier for this marriage! Miss Chu Yiyi is beautiful and elegant, truly unattainable. Thank you, Commander Chu and Brother Fang, for your kindness! However, I, Su Fei, believe that this matter must be handled after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. If I were to suffer any mishap during the war, I wouldn't want to waste Miss Chu's youth."

Fang Ligong shook his head: "No, we must get engaged now!"

As they were talking, Commander Wang arrived with a large number of horsemen, obviously knowing what was going on. "Commander Su, congratulations! I congratulate you on your triumphant return and your engagement to a beautiful woman. Double happiness!"

The commander of the Provisional First Army also tried his best to mediate and hinted that this was the intention of Commander Yang of the Sixth Army.

Su Fei had no choice but to agree!
