Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

It turned out that when Su Fei was vigorously reorganizing and training the Cavalry Army, the 39th Army and the 24th Army suffered serious setbacks. As the main force of the Hebei-Chahar War Zone, they were of course a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese army. With various mopping-up attacks, these troops had a very difficult time surrounded by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Unlike the Eighth Route Army, they originated from the Northwest Army and were completely dependent on the government for military pay and supplies. They could only fight in large groups and could not conduct dispersed guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Once they relaxed, the troops would directly collapse!

After several years of consumption, the two armies have suffered great losses in strength and low morale. In recent days, they have been retaliated by the Japanese army and surrounded by an iron wall!

The disastrous defeat of the 16th Division and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade made Okamura Yasuji furious. His intelligence agency did not know that this was the result of the Su Fei Cavalry Army, and thought that the main forces of the 39th Army and the 24th Army had raided the Japanese army. Therefore, he mobilized 5 independent mixed brigades, 3 Type B divisions, two puppet army fronts, and more than 100,000 people to frantically besiege the 39th Army. After inflicting heavy damage, they turned around and attacked the 24th Army.

Break each!

Kill the two main armies in the Hebei-Chahar War Zone and avenge the 16th Division and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade!

The Japanese army acted secretly, at an extremely fast speed and with great power. They used air force bombing and field heavy artillery brigade bombing. Under such pressure, the already shaky 39th Army collapsed one after another, and the remaining troops retreated to the border of eastern Henan and southern Hebei.

The commander of the 39th Army has contacted the Japanese army and wants to surrender secretly.

As part of the 39th Army, a weak army with only one main division and local militia, Commander Gao was unable to defeat the Japanese army and reverse the situation, nor was he able to stop the army commander's rebellion. He could only ask Su Fei for help.

Su Fei asked the staff officers mobilized from the Hebei-Chahar War Zone to learn about the situation of the 39th Army. Now, the situation is very tricky.

If the 39th Army, which has tens of thousands of troops, surrenders to the enemy, it will be a heavy loss to our anti-Japanese war forces.

Commander Gao planned to secretly arrest their commander by hosting a banquet, but he was suspected and failed.

Now, he has semi-openly rebelled and led the Japanese and puppet troops to attack his troops.

Su Fei repeatedly learned about the enemy situation, familiarized himself with the map, and mastered the environmental conditions of the battlefield. Three days later, he issued the order to send troops.

Commander Gao's troops had been surrounded and attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops and were on the verge of collapse.

Su Fei mobilized a cavalry army!

Ten thousand people, one cavalry division with 3500 people, two cavalry regiments, one infantry division with 5000 people, and one artillery regiment with 2000 people.

This was the most elite unit of the Cavalry Group Army, with the best equipment. The other two cavalry armies were in a half-baked state, still in training, and their equipment was much worse.

The pre-battle mobilization denounced the atrocities of the Japanese army and the shame of traitors, exaggerated the prospects of victory in the War of Resistance, and quickly boosted the morale of the entire army, and they set off immediately.

More than 400 miles away, the cavalry army arrived in one day with a cavalry division of 3000 people.

After arriving, according to the telegram from Commander Gao, he sent reconnaissance cavalry to conduct contrast reconnaissance and understand the situation. Su Fei immediately launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army at night.

A Japanese infantry battalion in the north besieged Commander Gao's troops while guarding the surrounding area.

It's all plains.

Discovering that the Japanese army was on low alert, Su Fei decided to launch a surprise attack at night.

The first troops to use night vision goggles.

15 soldiers, plus 30 supporting officers and soldiers, equipped with night vision goggles, sniper rifles, silencers, etc., secretly approached the enemy. They first silently killed the Japanese cavalry guards more than 100 meters away, and then further approached the enemy.

The Japanese patrol was also ambushed and all of them were shot dead without making a single sound.

The subsequent Su Fei troops followed up, with more than 200 commandos, ready to engage the enemy in close combat at any time.

The special forces opened the way in front, killed more than 100 devils, and led the commandos to the Japanese position. Only then did the Japanese army discover them.

The Japanese soldiers shouted in fear.

The commandos immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army, especially the officers and soldiers equipped with 81 rifles, who fired wildly at the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers who had just awakened and rushed to fight were beaten to pieces.

The soldiers wearing night vision goggles also quickly changed their weapons, discarding their single-shot sniper rifles and using 81 rifles to see the enemy clearly, take the initiative and shoot at the enemy.

After a battle, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.

Japanese troops from other places came to besiege.

Su Fei's commandos used rifles to fire and 35 grenades to directly bomb the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army fought desperately, they still suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Su Fei dispatched other troops to attack and threaten the two wings of the Japanese positions to tie down the enemy.

The Japanese positions on both wings were bombarded fiercely with mortars, killing and wounding a number of Japanese soldiers.

The commandos took advantage of night vision goggles, automatic rifles, and 35mm grenades, and after 20 minutes of fighting, they cleared out the main force of the Japanese army in the middle area. After another 30 minutes of fighting, they completely cleared out the remaining Japanese troops.

A Japanese infantry battalion was destroyed.

The soldiers wearing night vision goggles could see Commander Gao's troops over there, but they ignored them and did not contact them. Their purpose was to let them continue to tie down the enemy.

At this time, the Japanese troops on the east and west sides had sent reinforcements to counterattack Su Fei. The battle was very fierce.

While Su Fei sent troops to fight the enemy, he also sent cavalry to maneuver quickly, bypass the enemy's flanks and rear, and attack from the front and back.

100 cavalrymen charged and fired in the enemy's rear, slashing with their swords and causing chaos in the Japanese army.

At night, the cavalry was very fast. As soon as the Japanese saw them, the cavalry arrived in front of them. The horses' hooves trampled and collided, causing great panic among the Japanese. Coupled with the slashing of sabers, the Japanese infantry quickly collapsed.

Hunt down the Japanese troops!

Su Fei's troops were on guard in the west, while the main force was poured into the east, launching a full-scale attack on the Japanese army.

When a large-scale battle breaks out, night vision goggles and sniper rifles are no longer suitable for use. With shells exploding and bullets flying everywhere, such precious weapons and equipment cannot be used casually.

Su Fei's troops had a lot of artillery fire and many mortars, at least 40, which bombarded the Japanese army fiercely. Even so, the mountain artillery regiment still couldn't catch up.

35mm grenades were also launched against the Japanese. It was a precision strike, aimed at the Japanese army and bombing a large area.

The Japanese army was suppressed by brutal artillery fire, suffered heavy casualties, and was bombed to death in many places.

The Japanese army did not expect that the National Army's reinforcements would be so brutal and well-equipped.

Before their death, many Japanese officers and soldiers angrily cursed their military-industrial complex for not producing more artillery, saying, "Now, the Chinese army has more artillery than we do."

They thought that the Chinese army had at least 100 mortars.

Because the speed and maneuverability of the 35 grenade are so powerful, a 35 grenade launcher can far surpass 3 mortars, or even 5 or 10 mortars!

Once the sweeping mode is activated, boom boom boom boom, how terrifying is that?

Crazy, crazy, the Chinese are crazy!

The Japanese army, with great grievance, died under the firepower of the Chinese army and the cavalry army of the Hebei-Chahar War Zone.

Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers were killed!

This is the battle on the Eastern Front.

When Su Fei's army rotated clockwise and continued to attack, the Japanese troops on the southern front had already sensed the danger and retreated.

Japanese troops on the western front also began to retreat.

Su Fei did not pursue, but contacted Commander Gao via walkie-talkie and asked his troops to gain military merit.

Commander Gao's troops launched a full-scale pursuit.

Half an hour later, the battle was over.

Su Fei dispatched troops again and used night vision goggles to clean up the battlefield at a very fast speed.

Commander Gao arrived and saluted Su Fei, standing at attention. "Thank you very much, Commander, for saving my life."

After saying this, his voice choked.

This time, he was besieged not only by the Japanese army, but also by the Imperial Army, and even some traitors from the 39th Army of the Rebel Army who served as guides.

What to do next?

Commander Gao expressed his willingness to lead the remaining troops, join the Cavalry Army, and become Su Fei's loyal subordinate.

Su Fei refused: "The 39th Army also needs you to support the facade. The framework of this army cannot fall down!"

Commander Gao's eyes welled with tears. "Commander Su, I used to have some doubts about you. I thought you were the same kind of person as Commander Shi of our 39th Group Army. What kind of person is that? Capricious and without any moral integrity, but with strong military capabilities. Now it seems that when you compare the two of you, one is in heaven, the other in hell! No matter how you change, you are always fighting for the war of resistance."

It turned out that the 39th Group Army, Commander Shi, Commander Gao, and others were all members of the Northwest Army. Commander Shi was one of the Thirteen Guardians of the Northwest Army, and his combat capabilities and military command were quite impressive. However, he had been repeatedly linked to Commander Feng, Wang, Yan, the Fengtian clique, and the Chiang Kai-shek clique, and was privately called a "Five Surnames House Slave" by the officers and soldiers! Now, he was actually going to defect to the enemy, becoming a "Six Surnames House Slave"!

Su Fei felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that in the eyes of others, he was also a fickle villain?

Indeed, I was involved in the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Nationalist Army. I was in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army twice, and the Nationalist Army twice! Plus, I returned to the Eighth Route Army twice...

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Commander Su is a hero and a role model for me. Please forgive me for my gaffe." Commander Gao noticed Su Fei's emotions.

Su Fei waved his hand: "Now, what does Commander Gao plan to do next?"

Commander Gao shook his head helplessly. "The 39th Army is irreparably defeated. I will follow Commander Su."

Su Fei inquired about the current situation of the 39th Army Group and asked Commander Gao if he was willing to provide intelligence. "I want to send special forces to raid the nest of defectors from the 39th Army Group."

Commander Gao advised him not to take the risk. After repeated persuasion failed, he carefully recounted what he knew: "The traitors believe our unit is surrounded and about to be destroyed. They will surely celebrate. They will not be too alert to the situation in their lair, and their position will not change."

That's good. Su Fei decided to lead the cavalry division to launch a surprise attack and a fatal blow to catch all the traitors of the 39th Army, rescue tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and return to the battlefield of the War of Resistance.

"Okay, in that case, I'll lead the team myself! I'm most familiar with the situation."

Su Fei immediately mobilized special forces.

Let Commander Gao explain to them the terrain and streets, the location of the rebel headquarters, its internal structure, the number and combat capabilities of the guards, weapons and equipment, etc.

However, to deal with this traitor, we also need authorization from our superiors, right?

Commander Gao said that he had received authorization from the National Government and the First War Zone, but unfortunately, he was almost killed due to collusion between the Japanese and puppet troops and traitors.

That’s good, let’s go.

In order to speed up the advance, a regiment of troops was left behind. 1500 people were too many and not conducive to a surprise attack. Finally, 500 people were selected, using the form of one person and two horses, plus Su Fei, Commander Gao and the guard class, and they set off together.

"Commander, you are taking such a risk, it feels like you are risking everything!" Commander Gao still hinted to Su Fei to pay attention to safety.

The night is long and the journey is long!

The next day, Su Fei's troops arrived near Puyang, on the bank of the Yellow River, but they hid themselves.

Go to a village, give the people some money and food, and delay them for a day.

It was not until the evening that Su Fei's cavalry regiment suddenly set out.

At ten o'clock in the evening, we arrived at a town where the 39th Army Group lived.

The reason for setting up the headquarters here is that it is relatively hidden, low-key, and safe, to avoid surprise attacks and bombings by the Japanese Air Force. For now, it has not been moved yet.

Because the news of the Japanese army's failure to besiege General Gao has not yet been announced. It would be a shameful thing, and the Japanese only care about their face!

Night vision goggles, silencers, sniper rifles, 81 automatic rifles and 35 grenade launchers!

A siege force was set up around the town.

The 30-member night vision team moved towards the south gate of the town and sniped the sentry from more than 100 meters away, using a silencer to cover up the traces.

All five sentries were shot in the head one after another.

The commandos entered the town.

At this moment, the surrounding Sufei cavalry launched an attack on the town, first bombarding it with mortars to create chaos, trying to avoid accidentally injuring their own people at the south gate, and then firing machine guns and rifles.

The rebels in the town came out to resist. In the chaos, a commando team of more than 30 people had entered the town and reached the enemy.

These guard troops are about a battalion in number, and they are all the traitor Commander Shi’s close confidants. They cannot be left behind!

The commandos fired a burst of precise shots and began a large-scale assassination.

While they were holding the enemy back outside and taking action inside, in less than ten minutes, a battalion of guards was cleared out.

Sporadic resistance continued, but the commandos ignored it and immediately rushed to the headquarters. There were a lot of soldiers and police outside and the security was tight. However, a burst of 35 grenades blew away more than 40 guards in a few seconds and rushed in.

When Su Fei entered here, the former commander of the 39th Army, the traitor Commander Shi, had been captured alive by the commandos, along with his chief of staff and more than a dozen senior officers, as well as more than 30 of his family members in the backyard.

"Commander Gao, how are you?" Commander Shi was captured, but he still insisted on being stubborn.

General Gao was furious: "Traitor, traitor!"

Commander Shi's expression immediately changed. "You win, take everything I have: money, women, positions. Please spare my life!"

Commander Gao snorted disdainfully and introduced Su Fei.

what?

Commander Shi suddenly realized: "I was wondering, it's you! The Japanese say you are the ghost of Jin-Cha-Ji, a demon!"
