Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei's cavalry rushed forward, using small-unit assaults as a means of attack, and artillery fire accurately hit the enemy, suppressing the enemy. The cavalry approached 400 meters and shot and killed. The brutal firepower completely shook the morale of the Japanese army.

After Captain Honda was blown to pieces by a 35mm grenade, more than half of the Japanese troops on the west route had been killed or wounded, and the situation on the east route was not much better.

Su Fei also issued an order to defeat the enemy at all costs and save the independent regiment.

35 grenade rounds that have been left after many battles must be used up!

Crazy grenades swept across the Japanese army, crushing everything.

Boom boom boom!

In the fierce explosion, the Japanese army lost their sense of direction, their companions, their confidence, and all their war experience and skills, and could only wailing and wailing.

They were the troops that besieged Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment. They thought they could take it down easily, but after the siege they found that Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment was no longer what it used to be. It was well-equipped and no less capable than the Japanese army. Moreover, it was good at digging trenches and tunnels. Even 36 mountain artillery pieces could not knock it down. After repeated bombings, the infantry rushed forward and were immediately subjected to crazy machine gun fire from the Independent Regiment. The Japanese army suffered countless casualties.

The commander of the 41st Division was furious and ordered an encirclement to trap the Independent Regiment and even requested an air force bombing. Even so, after a few days of siege, the Independent Regiment remained motionless, and enemy reinforcements were coming from behind?

The Japanese army was a besieging force and had the advantage, so the infantry in the front had only ordinary trenches and individual pits, while the troops in the back were almost visible in the wilderness and did not even have the most basic fortifications.

It’s not that the Japanese army is ignorant, but that they don’t need it.

There are only simple guard forces on the periphery. They are not worried about the reinforcements of the independent regiment. If there are any, they will take them all down with one attack!

So, when Su Fei's cavalry division attacked, the Japanese army was completely dumbfounded.

The cavalry was extremely fast and the Japanese infantry had no time to build fortifications. The key point was that the Japanese artillery, logistics troops and command posts were all in the rear and were the first to be cut off and crippled.

The Japanese army's structure collapsed rapidly, and the battalion commanders and squadron leaders at the grassroots level suffered heavy casualties.

After the Japanese mountain artillery regiment and other battalion-level artillery were destroyed, the Japanese army was just a bunch of little chickens holding fire sticks!

The 325 grenade launcher is too light, too casual, and too crazy.

Too fast, too powerful.

Spread freely!

At the very beginning, their artillery positions and several command posts were destroyed.

Boom, boom, boom! The Japanese machine gunners didn't even have a chance to fire a few times before they were blown to pieces.

Japanese officers and soldiers exclaimed that the Chinese army has trained superb gunners who can aim and strike directly!

One-sided.

It was not just artillery fire, there was also 81 rifle fire, which swept through the Japanese army one volley after another. The Japanese soldiers didn't have time to fire a second shot. Several bullets, more than a dozen bullets had been fired, and several big holes had been drilled in the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army became lambs to be slaughtered!

……

Su Fei also contacted Li Yunlong via telegram and walkie-talkie, asking them to launch a counterattack and attack from both inside and outside.

Of course Li Yunlong saw it too.

Holding the telescope, his hands were shaking. "What's going on? How many Japanese artillery pieces did Su Fei's cavalry capture? Why is the artillery fire so fierce? I've never seen such powerful artillery in my life. What kind of artillery is this? A machine gun? No, the sound and power are much greater. An anti-tank gun? Almost, but how could that guy fire like that?"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang was also at the command post: "Yeah, what's going on? Could it be that the Sufei cavalry has Katyusha rockets, which are only available to the Soviet army? Not at all."

Chief of Staff Zhang Dabiao answered the walkie-talkie: "Quick, Commander, Political Commissar, Su Fei is calling."

Li Yunlong answered the phone, "Hey, Su Fei, where did you get so many Italian cannons? They're firing so fiercely."

Su Fei panted: "Commander, Political Commissar, hurry up, attack, attack!"

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Damn it, you guys fought so well, I was stunned and forgot."

"Come here, tell all battalions and companies by phone and walkie-talkie, attack, attack, attack with all your strength, coordinate with Su Fei's troops, attack from both inside and outside! Destroy the Japanese 41st Division, this turtle, this bastard, hahahaha."

The independent regiment also decisively counterattacked and attacked the Japanese army.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others personally led the troops to charge.

After fighting for more than two hours, the Japanese positions and troops were peeled off layer by layer and swallowed up piece by piece like peeling an onion. A Class C division, three regiments, and more than 2 people were left with only one infantry battalion on the western front, most of the infantry battalion on the eastern front, and the division headquarters of the 41st Division.

The total strength of the Japanese army was no more than 2500.

Eighty percent of the troops were lost.

Helpless, the Japanese army had to retreat.

Retreat to the east and west fronts respectively.

"Have the Chinese army gone mad? Do they have 500 machine guns? Or 1000 anti-tank guns? Why is their firepower so strong? Impossible, impossible!"

Su Fei's cavalry intensified the attack, and the cavalry's speed advantage made the Japanese army breathless.

The 81 rifle is too powerful.

They swept the bullets one by one, swept the bullets one by one, leaving the Japanese army no chance to survive.

Su Fei's cavalry chased for more than 20 miles before returning triumphantly.

If the Japanese army had not dispatched a large number of reconnaissance planes and bombers, Su Fei's cavalry would have hunted down all the Japanese troops in one breath.

After being bombed by Japanese planes, Su Fei's troops and Li Yunlong's independent regiment dispersed and hid, and only cleaned up the battlefield after the enemy planes left.

On the battlefield, the mountains and plains were littered with Japanese soldiers' corpses, as well as thousands of puppet soldiers' corpses and thousands of puppet soldiers' prisoners. More than 800 Japanese wounded soldiers were captured.

After searching and screening, more than 11,000 people including the commander of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army were eliminated, and 36 mountain cannons of the Japanese Mountain Artillery Regiment, 18 infantry guns of each battalion, and countless machine guns and mortars were seized.

Countless ammunition!

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, the Independent Regiment contacted the 386th Brigade and received a new order to retreat and return to northwest Shanxi. This was because the almost complete annihilation of the Japanese 41st Division would certainly inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and the enemy's large-scale sweep of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area would inevitably fail. In order to ensure the safety of the Independent Regiment and the Su Fei Cavalry Division, they had to retreat as soon as possible.

Su Fei’s troops had not used up all their 35mm grenades, and still had 2000 of them.

Retreat.

During the troops' retreat, Su Fei met Li Yunlong and others.

"Su Fei, brothers fight together, fathers and sons fight together. This time, it's all thanks to you! I have a good eye, and you have a promising future. But, tell me, your firepower is so strong..."

Zhang Dabiao had already seen it and called Su Fei's soldiers over: "Captain, Political Commissar, there are two things that we have never seen before."

Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao hurried to watch.

Su Fei talked about the performance and power of the 35 grenade launcher and the 81 rifle.

Li Yunlong was stunned.

Political Commissar Zhao, Zhang Dabiao and others, as well as the independent regiment cadres and soldiers around them, were also amazed and filled with emotion!
