Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei smiled faintly: "No matter who you are, I cannot tolerate your betrayal and surrender to the enemy! You have cut yourself off from the people and the country, and colluded with the Japanese invaders to kill your comrades. How can this be tolerated?"

Commander Shi was stunned for a moment. "I lost, but please tell me, how many of you came here, and how did you get in? My guard battalion is a pistol unit, all equipped with Mauser pistols, with extremely powerful firepower. You must have lost many people, right?"

Su Fei said, "We've counted the casualties. We lost one man and had five lightly injured. Your guard battalion was completely wiped out, leaving no one alive!"

Commander Shi didn't believe it, and neither did the officers around him.

Su Fei talked about the performance of night vision goggles, the power of 81 automatic rifles, and 35 grenade launchers!

Commander Shi and the others were dumbfounded: "Impossible, impossible, it's impossible that there is such a weapon. The Japanese don't have it, how could you have it?"

This die-hard traitor!

Su Fei waved his hand, and Commander Gao shouted, ordering the guard squad to come and carry out the execution. He also showed the telegrams from the National Government and the war zone ordering the punishment of traitors such as Commander Shi.

Commander Shi panicked immediately, fell to his knees, and begged for mercy with tears and snot, "We've been friends for decades, so I'll have to look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's! And Commander Su, you're a hero, you must be magnanimous..."

He pointed to the large number of wives and concubines behind him and began to introduce them. Under the light, these wives and concubines were indeed as beautiful as flowers. Many were famous actors in big cities, forced to buy them at high prices. There were also some pure and innocent women, and some were ladies from wealthy families. Almost all of them were plundered by various means.

These wives and concubines were also afraid of him like a tiger, and they all knelt down and pleaded with Su Fei.

They all chirped and begged for forgiveness, expressing their willingness to belong to Su Fei.

Seeing that Su Fei was unmoved, Commander Shi sneered, "Stop pretending! Everyone knows you, Su Fei, are greedy and lustful. You're a nobody! So, let me raise the stakes. If you promise to spare my life, I'm willing to give you the secret treasure map. If you dig it out, it's all yours."

Because a large amount of gold, silver and treasures were buried, others did not know where they were.

Su Fei thought that his cavalry army needed a large amount of military pay and supplies, which would be very difficult to supply, so he agreed.

Commander Shi took out a map.

Seeing that the place was not far away, Su Fei accepted it and asked Commander Shi to issue a written order for his subordinates to lay down their weapons and surrender, and return to the anti-Japanese team after reorganization.

Commander Shi also agreed.

Su Fei brought some troops out of the town and quickly found the place where the treasure was hidden. They used blasting tubes to bomb a reed bush, blew up the soil, and found a grave. When they dug it up, they found dozens of boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and agate, which were priceless.

Take it away as military pay and contribute to the war of resistance!

Damn it! This traitor Commander Shi secretly hid so much jewels, gold and silver as his private property, but was unwilling to let the officers and soldiers use them!

No wonder the officers and soldiers were dissatisfied and their morale was low.

Return to headquarters.

Before returning to the town, we heard bursts of gunfire and a fighting had broken out over there.

Su Feijun went over quickly and found that there were troops surrounding the town. According to observations with night vision goggles, they were troops from the 39th Group Army, and should be Commander Shi's trusted troops.

Now, Su Fei suddenly understood that Commander Shi, the old fox, had used the treasure to get him away, delay time, and get reinforcements from the garrison outside!

There was constant fighting in the town.

Su Fei immediately ordered a fight.

The special forces quickly relied on night vision goggles, silencers, automatic rifles, etc., and charged forward. With a burst of rapid fire, they cut a bloody path. The troops surrounding the town outside were bewildered, panicked, and collapsed directly.

Entering the headquarters again, I found Commander Gao and a squad of his men, along with the 100-odd cavalrymen Su Fei had left behind, facing off against Commander Shi and his men, who numbered over 200 men. Commander Shi was gloating, "Hmph, I used a little trick to turn the tide. Commander Gao, are your troops enough for me to defeat you?"

When Su Fei arrived, they finally started shooting at each other and fighting.

Su Fei immediately ordered his troops to join the battle. The powerful special forces, together with Su Fei's troops' 81 rifles, quickly killed most of the rebels. The traitor Commander Shi shot himself, and some of his officers committed suicide, but most of them expressed their surrender.

Commander Gao was also shot.

Su Fei ordered to find medical treatment for Commander Gao and immediately took control of the headquarters. Based on the data and information, he asked the surrendered officers to make phone calls or telegrams to their subordinate units dozens or hundreds of miles away, telling them that the rebel general had been executed and that as long as the others continued to be loyal to their duties, no one would be held accountable!

The next day, the main force of Su Fei's cavalry arrived, and in the afternoon, an infantry regiment arrived and completely controlled the situation.

At night, officers from various units of the 39th Army came to report and swore to Su Fei that they would mend their ways, continue the war of resistance, and never betray him.

Su Fei asked General Gao to read out the government's order on the disposition of the rebel commander Shi, and then described the process of suppressing the rebellion, and asked General Gao to be the head of the 39th Army Group.

The situation finally calmed down completely.

Su Fei also allocated a portion of the money that the rebel commander Shi had robbed as military pay to the various units of the 39th Army Group according to the situation, and returned the rest to Commander Gao, which immediately moved Commander Gao and all the officers and soldiers of the 39th Army Group.

When Commander Gao's infantry regiment arrived, Su Fei led all the personnel to retreat.

Return to the original cavalry army base.

Three days later, Commander Gao sent a troop, which took trucks to take some people to Su Fei's base.

The officer said respectfully, "Commander, you saved our General Gao and put down the rebellion, saving the 39th Army. We are very grateful, and General Gao is also very touched. However, we really have nothing to offer you now, and you are not interested in the private property of those rebel generals. Only these may be of some use to you."

The truck opened and a group of women got out. They were Commander Shi's family, including six concubines, more than 20 maids, and more than 40 female soldiers. Each of them was as beautiful as a peach or a plum, which made the officers and soldiers here silent.

These women were all the wives and concubines of the rebel general Commander Shi, especially the so-called female soldiers, who were also his exclusive harem.

Debauchery! Shamelessness!

The officer who brought the gift asked Su Fei to accept it and then left.

Su Fei asked these people to line up, the guards to register, and the concubines and maids to change into military uniforms. "From today on, you are soldiers in the war of resistance."

However, what was unexpected was that the next night, when Su Fei came back from training in the playground, there were actually several delicate female soldiers on duty inside the headquarters. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were the concubines of the rebel general, who were angry and someone came in.

They are the newly appointed core officers of the Cavalry Army who just came from the war zone!

The war zone denied Su Fei's appointment of Zhao Gang and others, and sent people from the government above, Chief of Staff Lu, Deputy Commander Jiang, and Director Chu of the Political Training Department. The three giants plus some staff officers became the core team to assist Su Fei.

However, the war zone also gave Su Fei face. The telegram said that Su Fei was allowed to appoint Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Shen Quan, Duan Peng and others as commanders of the cavalry army and division commanders.

Three government officers came in and congratulated Su Fei.

The three men traveled day and night and finally arrived.

Director Chu? Isn't that Chu Yunfei?

Haha!

Su Fei was overjoyed and hurried to welcome him. He set up a banquet at the headquarters to welcome him. The banquet was simply horse meat. Wasn't this the last battle to rescue Commander Gao, where many Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and many horses were seized?

After introducing themselves to each other, the three men asked their accompanying officers and troops to leave, and Su Fei sent people to resettle them.

"Commander Su, you are a great hero, and we all admire you deeply."

Not only Chu Yunfei, but the other two were also very polite and expressed their willingness to obey Su Fei's orders and do whatever he said.

Chief of Staff Lu and Deputy Commander Jiang are both very senior, with rich military experience.

As they were talking, the concubine of the rebel general, dressed as a female soldier, came to serve dishes, twisted her ankle and fell.

Su Fei was furious: "Didn't I let them leave?"

The concubine quickly got up and cried to Su Fei, saying that she really couldn't endure the hard training. She was a famous drama actress and was willing to sing to liven up the atmosphere.

Su Fei refused.

Chu Yunfei asked the others to leave, and together with Deputy Commander Jiang and Chief of Staff Lu, began to persuade Su Fei that he must unconditionally accept these women as concubines!

what?

"If you don't accept it, it means you are pure and innocent, without any evidence against you. You are a pure Eighth Route Army soldier, and it will be difficult for you to be manipulated and controlled by the Nationalist government. Then, the Nationalist government will consider distrust and disband the Cavalry Group Army. Since you have come to the Hebei-Chahar War Zone, you must follow the local customs! Yes, you took over the wives and concubines of the rebel general, which is a stain on your character. You must also stain yourself to distance yourself from the Eighth Route Army!"

"Also, some of the division commanders under Commander Shi of the 39th Army are panicking, feeling that you're not on their side. They'll eventually eliminate them. This is General Gao's latest telegram! Do you know Shi Kefa from the late Ming Dynasty? After Gao Jie died, he went to pay his respects. Gao Jie's wife's generals wanted Shi Kefa to be the godfather of Gao Jie's son, but Shi Kefa refused. This angered and alienated Gao Jie's generals, and a powerful unit turned to the Qing army. This is a profound lesson. To stabilize the army's morale, you should accept him!"

"Everything for the war of resistance!"

"These women really aren't cut out to be soldiers. It's better for them to stay with you and do what they can to make the best use of their talents. They're really pitiful, adrift in these troubled times! Now, where else can they find a good person besides you? You're a good person, so you should teach them by example and turn them into good people!"

I?

Ok!

Su Fei invited Political Commissar Zhao Gang and others, and met with all officers above the regimental level. Afterwards, he reported to Political Commissar Zhao Gang individually.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang was silent for a long time: "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a major principle, and so is the United Front. As long as it does not harm the fundamental interests of the country, we can make some adjustments at times."

Well, Su Fei decided to get on board.

He summoned all the women and expressed his willingness to adopt them and take care of their lives. He also asked about their life stories. Suddenly, these beautiful women burst into tears, each one more miserable than the other. They were all robbed and occupied by Commander Shi. Except for the two top prostitutes in the brothel, they were all decent women, and most of them were ladies from wealthy families.

They were beaten and abused many times by Commander Shi, and now their bodies are covered with bruises.

They admired Su Fei's reputation very much.

Willing to follow Su Fei wholeheartedly and be a truly good woman.

As long as I don’t get beaten, I’ll be lucky.

Hey!

Su Fei did not discriminate against them. It was just that beautiful women in troubled times were often short-lived.

The next day, someone was asked to take a group photo and someone was sent to General Gao to reassure the officers of the 39th Group Army.

Su Fei admitted that these women were very beautiful and charming, and they were also very caring towards him...

A month later, the Hebei-Chahar War Zone Cavalry Army was officially formed and its organization and structure were improved.

Troop training is also on track.

The troops were reorganized again, with a cavalry army, an infantry army, and a garrison army, each with two divisions and a regiment under its command.

It was just Chu Yunfei's suggestion to formalize it, so whatever.

Su Fei is very busy every day. In addition to training, he also has to take care of the production of the arsenal.

A sunny day in early summer.

Su Fei was instructing the special forces and assembling 50 sets of night vision goggles purchased through underground channels from the Eighth Route Army when he received tragic news. The 24th Army of the Hebei-Chahar War Zone had suffered a crushing defeat in southern Shanxi and northwestern Henan, its troops scattered, and Commander Pu was missing, possibly captured by the enemy.

The war zone headquarters requested Su Fei's troops to urgently reinforce and search for Commander Pu and his remaining troops.

Su Fei immediately set off with his troops.

Of course, the cavalry army was faster, but there were too many people and the target was too big, which could easily attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops. Therefore, Su Fei led a cavalry division of 2500 people and traveled day and night with Chu Yunfei.

They marched over 4 miles in one day and arrived at Lingchuan area. On the battlefield, the 24th Army of the National Army was littered with corpses. Many of them had their eyes pecked by crows and their hands and feet eaten by jackals. It was extremely miserable.

Under the guidance of local people and insiders, Su Fei's troops pursued the enemy repeatedly and found out that Commander Yun, the commander of the temporary 5th Army, had defected to the enemy. They sent people to search for Commander Pu and found that all the commanders had defected to the enemy.

Chu Yunfei was shocked. "Commander Pu is a fierce general. He fought bravely in the outpost battle outside the Battle of Taierzhuang. He must be rescued. He will never surrender and may be taken hostage!"

Immediately report to superiors by telegram and search and investigate at the same time.

This time, the war zone obtained public information from the Japanese and puppet forces that Commander Yun, Commander Pu and others had cooperated with the "Imperial Army" and held senior positions in the Imperial Army.

According to intelligence, we know that Commander Yun and Commander Pu are in Xinxiang City and are being sheltered by the Japanese Second Army.

Surprise attack on Xinxiang City.

However, Chu Yunfei warned Su Fei that it was easy to make a plan but very difficult to implement it in practice. The Japanese army had a huge force in Xinxiang and surrounding areas. Once the cavalry division broke into it, it would inevitably be surrounded.

"An entire army of tens of thousands of men was annihilated. Our cavalry division of only 2,500 men is in great danger. Brother Su Fei, you should consider the long-term consequences!"

Su Fei learned that the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops were indeed powerful. They had built countless blockade lines and trenches on the road to Xinxiang, making it extremely difficult to maneuver, so he had to give up.

However, after coming hundreds of miles to provide support, if they fail to kill some enemies and complete the mission, how can the mighty cavalry army regain its reputation?

Su Fei thought for a moment and decided to alert the enemy and lure out the traitors, Commander Yun and Commander Pu. At the same time, he would mobilize a part of the Japanese army to eliminate them!
