Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You are not the Chinese army, not the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, you must be an American-equipped division! No, you are overseas Chinese in countries like Britain and the United States, Chinese people, you can't be so well-equipped! No way, no way."

"One of our Imperial Army can defeat five Chinese soldiers. You are not Chinese soldiers."

Major Takemiya was completely mad.

The captured Japanese wounded soldiers did not believe that Su Fei's troops were native Chinese troops.

Well, seeing that the Japanese were in so much mental pain, Su Fei explained the performance of the 81-bar automatic rifle and the power of the 35mm grenade launcher.

"Hahaha, I told you, under normal circumstances, the Imperial Army is invincible! You are cheating, you don't have such weapons, you will never be able to defeat our Imperial Army!" Major Takemiya and dozens of other Japanese prisoners laughed a few times and then burst into tears.

Heading south to Dingxiang City, Su Fei's troops crushed the enemy with ease, and the small troops lured the enemy. The arrogant Japanese heavy troops, without exception, rushed out of the city in a menacing manner to pursue them. Soon after leaving the city, they were hunted down from both sides.

The firepower speed and power of a company of 100 people in the Su Fei Cavalry Division were several times that of a Japanese infantry company of more than 170 people.

A concentrated fire from 400 meters away left only a few Japanese troops!

They wiped out the Japanese army in a blitzkrieg-style operation, seized all of their weapons and ammunition, and at the same time replenished the bullets for the 81-barrel rifles. Therefore, Su Fei's troops had no shortage of bullets on the battlefield.

Along the way, Su Fei's troops wiped out more than 1000 Japanese troops and destroyed more than 10 town-level strongholds.

Dingxiang City is a famous historical city, but even in the spring when all things sprout, it is withering in a sad way. The Japanese army's rising sun flag is waving evilly, and bunkers stand outside the city.

The number of enemy troops stationed is unknown.

Su Fei didn't care about the enemy situation. As long as he attacked, if he failed to lure the enemy, he would use the infantry gun to directly bombard the Japanese bunkers. The brick and stone structures were directly blown up, and the permanent fortifications were bombarded into the firing holes. The 35 grenade launcher was even more precise in shooting and bombing, destroying the Japanese firepower points.

The Japanese army was simply unable to resist.

Helplessly, the Japanese army sent out a counterattack. There were more than 500 people in total, carrying mortars, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, etc.

Su Fei's troops immediately evacuated to fight, dismounted to look for natural obstacles and trenches for positional warfare, and used mortars and 35 grenades to bombard the Japanese artillery and firepower points, such as heavy machine gunners, grenadiers, machine guns, and mortars.

As soon as the Japanese army left the city, the firepower group was completely wiped out and became useless.

The Japanese army was shocked. How could the mortar bomb so accurately?

Yes, the domestically produced 35 grenade launcher for individual field attacks has an effective range of up to 2000 meters. The equipment in the arsenal here is poor, so the range is only over 1,000 meters, which is also a miracle.

There were also specially trained snipers from Su Fei's unit. More than 20 of them, scattered throughout the troops, used captured 4x scopes or analyzed telescopes, and their effectiveness was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. They could accurately shoot and kill Japanese machine gunners and grenade throwers from more than 400 meters away.

The Japanese infantry and cavalry charged, armed with Type 38 rifles and bayonets, and generally did not shoot within 300 meters. Anyway, they were used to the close combat shooting of the Eighth Route Army and thought that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did the same.

They still want to fight hand-to-hand!

Unfortunately, as soon as they entered the 350-meter range, they were shot at by people armed with automatic rifles.

Crazy automatic rifles, spewing countless bullets, 50 Sufei riflemen can sweep away more than 500 Japanese infantry, not to mention the 35 grenades to help. Light and heavy machine guns to help?

The Japanese army's tactic was precision shooting, especially the infantry, who used 38 rifles for precise shooting without wasting bullets. However, the concept of Su Fei's troops had changed. It was no longer a precise strike, but a rough shooting, just randomly shooting in the direction of the enemy or the crowd.

With an effective range of 400 meters, it can still kill people from over a thousand meters away. Even stray bullets can kill people.

The Japanese soldiers basically did not fight back, and before they could do anything, they were killed on the green fields and became fertilizer for flowers, plants and crops!

The dying and wounded Japanese soldiers wondered: Why were these Chinese troops so ferocious? They clearly lacked the hundreds-kilogram 37mm anti-tank guns, so how could they fire grenades? Why were they able to fire rapidly and continuously without the clumsy machine guns? Moreover, their shells were far more powerful than those of 20mm and 25mm guns?

After destroying the enemy's main force, Su Fei's troops turned around and attacked the county town and easily conquered it.

Countless ammunition was captured, including one infantry gun and six mortars.

After a brief processing, Su Fei's troops continued to advance southward without stopping.

Along the way, we continuously eliminated all enemy strongholds and fortresses we passed by, annihilated all the devils, and either annihilated all the puppet troops or captured them, making them our baggage transport clerks!

Along the way, they also constantly recruited and mobilized indigenous people to serve as guides.

The best way is to give them the money captured from the Japanese and puppet troops, plus a horse, or a rifle and bullets, or a pistol. That would be tempting enough.

It would be even more perfect if we could also explain it to people through emotions, national sentiments and national justice.

Behind Su Fei's Cavalry Division was a scorched earth zone, where all the strongholds and spheres of influence of the Japanese and puppet troops were crushed.

They are like heavy bulldozers, uprooting the enemy's cancer.

Those who obey will prosper, those who go against will perish!

The troops headed straight for Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army!

The goal was not to capture Taiyuan head-on, but to use the tactic of feinting to the east and attacking in the west. First, threaten the enemy's core area in Shanxi Province, forcing the enemy to mobilize heavy troops to reinforce, and then annihilate the enemy in the movement, turn eastward, cross the Taihang Mountains, enter Hebei, and join hands with the Eighth Route Army to break the Japanese army's large-scale sweep.

Turn southwest to Xinzhou City!

15 miles outside the city.

The rust zone of several deserted villages formed by the massacre of all the villagers by the Japanese army became a garrison camp for the Japanese army. The Japanese army also had a bad premonition and stationed troops here in advance, dug trenches and deployed tight defenses.

When Su Fei's cavalry vanguard was on reconnaissance, he first provoked the enemy. He fired more than ten grenade launchers from 10 meters away, killing and injuring several Japanese soldiers. The Japanese were so angry that they panicked and sent out cavalry from the search force to chase them.

A small team...are you brave enough to come?

Ten Su Fei cavalrymen, carrying three Type 81 rifles, one machine gun, two sniper rifles, and one grenade launcher, waited for more than 50 Japanese cavalrymen to rush over with howling. They swept them wildly, killing 38 of them, including both men and horses. The remaining enemies retreated in panic, and five of them were killed by snipers in succession.

Lieutenant Colonel Ishida Sukufushi, commander of the Japanese Army's Third Guard Corps, was completely enraged and led more than a thousand Japanese troops to attack!

so many people?

Did you stir up a hornet's nest?

Su Fei's reconnaissance cavalry reported the enemy situation through a walkie-talkie while slowly fleeing.

As the Japanese army was in pursuit, a group of more than 50 Sufei cavalrymen appeared, again carrying long-range shooting and bombing, and carrying two mortars, killing and wounding more than 30 Japanese soldiers.
