Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Although the 16th Division was changed into a three-regiment system, the infantry regiment and artillery regiment still existed. They had a field artillery battalion, a mountain artillery regiment, and a tank battalion consisting of more than 30 tanks. The officers and soldiers were mainly veterans, and they were still a powerful existence, with strength far exceeding that of other second-rate Japanese divisions.

Lieutenant General Nakajima, the old devil, was confident that he could use his one division to defeat other troops, such as the two or three like the 26th Division and the 110th Division!

The old Japanese soldier Nakajima, who was sure of victory, was in a very good mood. He even invited two of the most beautiful geishas he brought with him, as well as high-level local comfort women, to get on the armored vehicle. The interior of this armored vehicle was spacious and luxuriously decorated. It was not for combat, but for enjoyment. It was his temporary command center.

"Yaoxi, your singing and dancing will liven up the atmosphere!" Colonel Nakane, as the chief of staff, observed the expressions of the soldiers and gave orders.

Two geishas and four high-ranking comfort women, all dressed in kimonos, danced gracefully and affectatiously.

As they drank and admired the dim light from the armored vehicle, the two old Japanese soldiers, Nakajima and Nakane, became very excited. They sang and clapped along, and even rushed forward to drag the geisha over...

The marching troops were drowsy.

The Japanese army also forced its way from outside the Great Wall and moved here via the Tianjin-Beijing area. The infantry, in particular, were extremely tired.

What? Attacked by Chinese troops?

Are you dreaming?

Do they dare?

If we engage the 16th Division, it would be like fighting a tiger or a lion! Imagine the result.

All the Japanese officers and soldiers thought that there would be no fighting, because after they entered the battlefield, the Chinese army would be frightened and flee far away, and the mission of their 16th Division was to chase and kill them.

The Japanese army was careless and the search cavalry on both sides were not on guard. When they saw the dark shadows in the distance, they shouted, "Who are you?"

He thought they were other cavalrymen from his own division.

Hearing the Japanese army's doubts, each battalion of Su Fei's cavalry following behind the war horses immediately ignited the tails of the 300 war horses in front. In an instant, the gasoline exploded into a brilliant flame, and the war horses rushed forward violently in pain and shock.

1500 war horses charged the Japanese army across a width of 3000 meters.

The Japanese army was caught off guard and was overwhelmed by the horses.

This is a variation of the Fire Bull Formation!

These furious war horses charged madly, jumping and leaping, charging no matter what was in front of them.

Several Japanese cavalrymen were directly knocked down by the herd of fiery horses. After falling off their horses, they were trampled to death and let out shrill screams.

The Japanese vehicles and personnel traveling on the road were startled and quickly opened fire.

Then, this was too quick, but it was still too late. They had to open the safety, install the bullets, aim and shoot. The bolt-action rifle had an outrageous rate of fire, a magazine of only 5 rounds, and the war horses were galloping. They didn't have time to see clearly before some horses arrived!

What's more, the warhorse is huge. Even if it is hit by several bullets, it may not be able to paralyze its combat effectiveness!

The more bullets they were hit with, as long as they were not fatal to the head and eyes, the more furious they would become.

In the chaotic scene, the Japanese army was unable to aim and could only fire randomly.

Before he could fire three bullets, he was rushed by the warhorse and kicked away.

The screams of Japanese soldiers were everywhere!

In order to speed up, the Japanese army marched in four columns of infantry. Their densely packed troops were overwhelmed by the war horses, resulting in heavy casualties.

The terrified screams of the Japanese soldiers came one after another, accompanied by the croaking of frogs.

This was Li Rijun’s first infantry regiment, plus the engineering regiment and the division headquarters, totaling nearly 5000 people.

According to estimates, the horses charging ahead of Su Fei's troops directly trampled to death or injured more than 800 Japanese soldiers.

The entire Japanese army was dispersed.

There were also a large number of horses in the Japanese army. In the Type A division, there was an average of one horse for every three people. They were essential for officers to ride, signalmen to ride, and for transporting supplies and artillery. Trucks could not replace them.

The horses were also frightened.

They jumped and danced, and soon broke free from control. Not only did they completely disrupt the Japanese army, but they also trampled and killed and injured hundreds of Japanese soldiers.

Following the herd of war horses in front was Su Fei's 2500 cavalrymen, waving their sabers and charging towards the enemy.

When they found the Japanese soldiers scattered by the horse herd in front, they chopped and killed them with their swords!

The horses' hooves kicked hard and the sabers swung.

In the chaos, the vanguard of the Japanese Type A Division completely collapsed.

They never dreamed of an enemy attack, and even more so they despised a cavalry charge.

They didn't know how many Deans there were, or how many war horses hadn't rushed over yet. Anyway, their first reaction was, it's over!

The Japanese army's superb rifle shooting skills could not be put to use.

It was dark, panicky, and the troops were in chaos, screaming everywhere. In front of them was an overwhelming force of unknown cavalry. The Japanese army had never seen such a scene before.

"Kill kill kill."

"Revenge for our compatriots!"

"Kill all these beasts!"

Enraged by the blood feud, the Su Fei cavalry charged bravely, hacking and killing madly, and soon broke through the Japanese army's marching column.

The cavalrymen formed a group of three and cooperated with each other to hunt down the enemy.

By the time they charged forward, the long marching column of the Japanese army was in a mess.

In the darkness, there were wounded Japanese soldiers and corpses everywhere.

The wounded were particularly miserable. Some had half of their heads, an arm, or even one shoulder chopped off by sabers. Although the injuries were not fatal on the spot, they could not receive immediate medical treatment on the battlefield and had to suffer, living a life worse than death.

Originally, Su Fei ordered an attack because he didn't know the enemy's position. However, after the battle, he found that the Japanese army was marching in a long snake formation, so he quickly turned back and attacked again. This time, he attacked other Japanese troops in the north and south directions.

Now, the Japanese army had dispersed and prepared for battle, so the soldiers followed the established plan, jumped off their horses, stabbed the horses in the buttocks, causing them to run away in pain and shock, and pounce on the Japanese army.

Although I am reluctant, this is an order and also a combat skill.

The herd of war horses once again rushed towards the Japanese army, especially the enemy's front and rear troops that were well preserved. These Japanese troops also quickly gathered forward to provide support.

The Japanese army was bullied by war horses again.

These horses are running very fast and charging very fast, they are frightened.

They trampled the fierce, brave and fearless Japanese troops and the well-prepared Japanese elite troops into pieces, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers were trampled to death or injured.

Afterwards, Su Fei's cavalry fought on foot and shot at the enemy.

They actually fought very little directly because the Japanese army had already collapsed.

They hunted down the enemy and cleaned up the battlefield.

After only two charges, the Japanese army's elite Type A division, the 5000 vanguard of the 16th Division, was reduced to a mere handful.
