Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong sent Political Commissar Zhao Gang!

There are also Shen Quan, Xing Zhiguo, and Wei Dayong!

Su Fei was very happy and immediately entertained the four of them.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang inquired in detail about the reasons for Su Fei's split with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and he lamented, "If ordinary people had high positions and generous salaries before them, without having to take the risk of going to the battlefield, they would be more than happy to do so."

Xing Zhiguo's eyes also shone with admiration: "Most people can't resist the temptation of the deputy commander of the group army. But our brother Su Fei withstood it."

Shen Quan offered a toast: "I would like to offer a toast to Brother Su Fei."

Wei Dayong gulped down a large bowl of Shaodaozi and said, "Su Fei, you are such a coward! If I had so many soldiers and such good guys, I would just charge over and destroy their Sixth Army Headquarters! How could I tolerate their bullying?"

Everyone in the room looked at him, which made him feel embarrassed, so he quickly left in embarrassment.

Su Fei called him back, "You are right, but let's wait until the Anti-Japanese War is won!"

what?

Everyone looked at Su Fei and each other, very surprised, but not sure how to believe it.

Of course, everyone hopes that he will return to the Eighth Route Army.

However, the political commissar was the first to shake his head. "Alright, alright, now is the Anti-Japanese War, we must unite and not say anything that is detrimental to cooperation. I believe the news about the Japanese 8th Mixed Brigade in Pingyuan County could be true, or it could be a trap. Today, I want to remind Mr. Su Fei."

Su Fei had already spread the word that he was going to attack Pingyuan County and destroy the Japanese Army's 8th Independent Mixed Brigade. This news had already spread like wildfire, and even the entire independent regiment knew about it.

"It's very likely that this information was released by the Japanese army. It's a conspiracy, similar to the Battle of Baishishan. Whether it's Shinozuka of the First Army or Okamura Yasuji in Peking, they are both insidious and cunning guys. They have suffered so many defeats, how could they not be anxious to save face?"

The political commissar opened the military map on the wall, pointed to the Japanese railway lines and the Japanese deployment in the surrounding areas, and talked about various possibilities.

Shen Quan, Xing Zhiguo and others nodded repeatedly.

Su Fei agreed with the political commissar's opinion: "So, I decided to spread rumors to disrupt the enemy's vision. Once they fall for it, our troops will suddenly turn northeast and enter the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region. Over there, the enemy is still determined and continues to sweep and encircle our army. The pressure is great, and we should go over and help."

Political Commissar Zhao Gang was overjoyed: "Su Fei, you should have told me earlier. It made Regimental Commander Li Yunlong so anxious at home that he sent us here to advise you."

Su Fei hired Political Commissar Zhao Gang as the director of the political department of his army, Xing Zhiguo and Shen Quan as the regiment political commissars, and Wei Dayong as Su Fei's guard company commander.

Immediately call the officers together and introduce these men.

With Su Fei's support, everyone warmly welcomed it.

Su Fei let Political Commissar Zhao take actual charge of training the remaining troops in the Hudun stronghold and the county town area. He decided to carry out the deception to the end and led 500 cavalrymen to head south.

Conduct guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare against the enemy, and lure the enemy into concentrating its forces in Taiyuan and the north.

300 81-bar rifles, 50 grenade launchers, and the remaining personnel carried 2 heavy machine guns, 2 disassembled infantry guns, 6 3800-meter mortars, as well as ammunition and supplies.

Head south overnight.

They avoided the enemy along the way and made a long raid. In Pingtou Town, they encountered a marching column of Japanese troops.

The huge Japanese army was moving northward from the railway line in the southeast.

Su Fei looked through the telescope and saw that there were quite a lot of Japanese soldiers.

The end is as far as the eye can see.

The Japanese flank cavalry search team came over immediately because Su Feijun was wearing Japanese military uniforms.

Su Fei ordered all artillery fire to be prepared.

At a distance of 2000 meters, six mortars bombarded the Japanese army fiercely.

The Japanese army was shocked and immediately dispersed to fight.

The Japanese army was very fast and set up mortars to fire back.

Then, mountain artillery and infantry artillery also began bombardment.

Su Fei's cavalry battalion retreated immediately.

Dispersed retreat.

The Japanese army was furious. The infantry was mobilized to the northwest and immediately outflanked the enemy to the east and southeast. The Japanese cavalry and truck units also pursued them bravely.

Su Fei's cavalry rushed towards the rugged and bumpy area. The ditches and bumps made it difficult for the Japanese trucks to pass, so they had to send out cavalry to continue chasing.

Su Fei's cavalry was so fast that they threw away all the infantry artillery.

The Japanese army thought that this disguised Chinese cavalry was evil and weak, and was determined to take revenge, so they kept biting them.

More than 80 cavalrymen.

Su Fei saw that the enemy cavalry was in a prominent position and immediately went to the road to find 30 people ambushed in the bushes. As the Japanese cavalry chased them, Su Fei ambushed them behind the reeds and fired at them from behind with an 81 rifle.

In a blink of an eye, all the Japanese cavalry fell off their horses.

The enemy's follow-up cavalry chased them, so Su Fei's cavalry simply returned to fight. At a distance of 400 meters, they were strafed by heavy machine guns, rifles, and 35 grenade bombs. More than 100 Japanese cavalrymen left more than 90 bodies on the spot and fled in panic.

After collecting the spoils, Su Fei's troops advanced to the southeast of Pingtou Town, leaving behind the pursuit of the Japanese infantry and striding southward.

In a village on the outskirts of Jinzhong City, the Japanese army suddenly opened fire and killed two search scouts of Su Fei's cavalry.

The main force of Su Fei's cavalry was more than 800 meters away and retreated quickly.

The Japanese ambushes pursued like a tide.

Commander Lieutenant Colonel Kazuo Kojima was extremely excited: "This is a lone Chinese cavalry unit that has penetrated deep into the enemy territory. Let's catch up with them and kill every one of them!"

The Japanese infantry pursued them in trucks, and there were about a hundred cavalrymen, with a total force of an infantry battalion.

After retreating 5000 meters, they were basically out of the range of the Japanese artillery fire. Su Fei's army immediately stopped to establish a defense line and counterattack the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was chasing with great enthusiasm when suddenly, they were bombarded with bullets from the front.

50 35 grenade launchers aimed directly at the Japanese trucks and bombarded them at a distance of 600 meters. Every shot hit the target accurately and the shells hit the Japanese crowd directly. Boom, the Japanese soldiers cried for their parents and their bodies flew everywhere.

More than 40 trucks were bombed, and although the Japanese soldiers hurriedly jumped out of the trucks and dispersed, they still suffered more than 350 casualties.

The cavalry was strafed by 81 rifles, and the Japanese troops were beaten down in groups as soon as they entered a distance of 400 meters.

The Japanese army hurriedly looked for obstacles in ravines and trees, and also fired from trucks.

Su Fei's cavalry had already mounted their horses and retreated safely.

The Japanese army was furious and continued to pursue. There were only a few reeds by the river, which were very short and could not possibly hide many ambushes. A Japanese infantry squad of more than 50 people served as scouts and advanced quickly to search.

Suddenly, a storm of bullets came and the entire Japanese squad was wiped out.

The Japanese troops more than 300 meters away were also slaughtered crazily!

Su Fei's army ambushed 25 soldiers here and launched a surprise attack, directly causing more than 150 casualties among the Japanese army.

One kilometer away, the mortars of Su Fei’s troops began to roar again.

After killing or wounding about a hundred Japanese soldiers, they retreated.

In this way, the Japanese army chased and fought for 25 miles. Lieutenant Colonel Kojima found that there were only a few of his troops left.

Just as he was feeling grief and indignation, suddenly, a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan cavalrymen rushed out from the flank!
