Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Attack Xinxiang County!

The special forces quietly approached the city wall.

It was clear that the Japanese army was on the periphery, and there were many bunkers and sentries near the city walls, with tight security. It was obviously a large-scale disruption to Su Fei's troops. Su Fei became wary and noticed this situation. He secretly sighed that this Japanese commander was quite powerful.

Of course, this was the commander of a regiment of the Japanese Army's Type A Division, the most powerful and evil 5th Division. He led a regiment and formed a new Type C Division alone.

It sounds like the Type C Division, which is made up of A, B, C, and D, is very weak. In fact, the core part is the old Type A Division, which participated in many battles in the early days of the invasion of China and was invincible with high morale. All the Japanese officers and soldiers who came out of this side were extremely proud and had high tactical literacy.

Major General Mizukawa is currently in Xinxiang County, serving as the head of the headquarters.

This was once the forward command post of the Second Army. Army Commander Iijima came here in person to command, and colluded with the rebellious National Army's Provisional Fifth Army Commander Yun and others to severely damage and defeat the 24th Army in the Hebei-Chahar War Zone in one fell swoop, achieving unprecedented success.

After the victory, Commander Iijima returned to the Kaifeng headquarters, and Major General Mizukawa was put in charge here.

His rank of lieutenant general has been approved, and the only thing left is the official issuance of the appointment letter, so Shuichuan dare not be careless.

He was also a little depressed, feeling that he had no chance of promotion. Otherwise, the commander of the Hebian Brigade of the North China Garrison Army who caused the Marco Polo Bridge Incident was only one level higher than him. Now, after a few years, he became the commander of the Southern Army of the Japanese Army in Burma! He was...

It's not just this reason. Also, these days, a group of national army appeared out of nowhere. They were extremely fierce and invincible. They wiped out countless Japanese troops. Many reinforcements were wiped out, and many towns and strongholds were wiped out.

Could these Chinese troops be the legendary Su Fei cavalry?

The devil, that devil.

The monster of Jin-Cha-Ji.

Mizukawa was worried that he would be punished and lose his qualification for promotion because he could not eliminate this group of national army.

Major General Mizukawa was in a bad mood, so he took out his anger on the Chinese people and killed them without paying any attention to Gangcun's orders.

"Hmph, this is clearly a diversionary tactic to lure our main force north. I'm not afraid. This county has 800 elite imperial troops, enough to wipe out an entire Chinese division. Furthermore, these troops are ambushed. If you enter, you'll surely die. The county's maze of trenches and barbed wire is so impenetrable you won't even dream of getting in."

Mizukawa was very smart. He anticipated his own danger and used himself as bait to fish.

In addition to 800 elite soldiers, more than 100 Japanese soldiers with excellent marksmanship were dispatched to ambush near the city walls. Many traps and mines were also set up in the city.

He understood that the Chinese army did not dare to attack during the day, so they could only attack at night. In order to ensure absolute safety, these mines were marked so that the Japanese army could see them clearly during the day and would not act there at night, so there would be no problem.

Around the county town, Major General Mizukawa also prepared more than 1000 Japanese ambushes, which were only more than 2000 meters away from the city. Once they discovered the National Army's sneak attack, they would attack from behind and surround the National Army to ensure that the National Army was completely wiped out.

There is also an airport on the outskirts of Xinxiang County, which is even more tightly planned and has many ambushes.

Most of the 57th Division was in Mizukawa's hands and was ready for battle. In addition, three Imperial Army divisions were further out and prepared for encirclement and detour.

He invited the recently rebellious Commander Yun and some officers, as well as Commander Pu of the 24th Army, who had been coerced, to the headquarters to discuss military matters. "I've concluded that a Nationalist army unit has recently launched a surprise attack on Xinxiang County. They are very powerful, and may be led by Commander Su Fei, the most elite cavalry group army. The commander of our division has already formulated a detailed plan. Today, I invite you to come and watch the battle and see how the Imperial Army captures Su Fei alive and completely annihilates the invading commander of the Hebei-Chahar War Zone Cavalry Group Army and his elite troops!"

Commander Yun was delighted: "Your Excellency, the Division Commander, is wise! This time we will surely achieve success!"

Commander Pu remained silent, his fat, square face expressionless. He looked at the military map and sighed.

Some of the other captured senior officers of the 24th Army echoed Commander Yun and praised Shuichuan, while others were dejected and secretly worried about Su Fei and the National Army.

The Japanese staff officers proudly introduced the layout inside and outside Xinxiang City, which made the officers of the 24th Army, who were unwilling to be captured, look pale.

"Indeed, they never came back." Commander Pu was forced to express his opinion by Major General Mizukawa and could only smile bitterly.

After the 24th Army was defeated, he hid in a cave and was led, captured, and forced to be handed over to the Japanese army by Commander Yun and the rebellious soldiers.

No matter who they are, they are all looking forward to the results of the battle.

The Japanese ambushes inside and outside the city were also waiting, secretly pleased with themselves: "Come quickly. Seek death."

Su Fei's troops have arrived.

Deal with the Japanese troops in the outer strongholds first.

Dozens of officers and soldiers using night vision goggles approached the Japanese within 50 meters and began shooting.

There were several Japanese soldiers in one place, shooting at the same time, and the silencers masked the sound to the greatest extent possible.

Step by step, they cleared out the Japanese strongholds and sentries and entered the city.

Those Japanese soldiers who were killed never dreamed that they would be killed. They were still waiting for news. They stared with wide eyes and waited, but saw nothing.

In order to lure the Chinese army into a surprise attack, Mizukawa deliberately hid all the searchlights and did not use them.

If the Japanese army had a searchlight, then Su Fei would change his strategy and directly use artillery bombardment!

After the special forces entered, they were very cautious and soon discovered the special markings on the road and quickly avoided them.

They entered the homes of the people, asked them questions, learned about the Japanese military camps and deployment, and then chased after the Japanese command headquarters.

I went straight over and saw outside the door that Shuichuan had set up a banquet to entertain Commander Yun and Commander Pu, as well as geishas and comfort women to entertain them.

"Division Commander, we can't get through to the northern garrison outside the city." An officer came over to call the police.

what?

Division Commander Mizukawa was surprised: "They're coming in? Well, let's eat them all in one bite and put an end to this trouble forever!"

However, several Japanese officers were extremely nervous. The Chinese army had already entered, but there was no sound at all. What did this mean? Was the national army really that powerful?

Are they ghosts?

Su Fei's troops have arrived outside the headquarters. The Japanese army is lying in ambush on the rooftops nearby and in some streets and courtyards. It is very concealed, but it is clearly visible under the night vision goggles.

Being targeted by a sniper rifle.

The Japanese army was large in number, and when they discovered that people around them had been killed, they immediately cried out in surprise.

exposed!

In this case, the commandos on Su Fei's side did not hold back. They used 81 rifles to fire fiercely, and combined with the precise killing of sniper rifles, more than 50 Japanese ambushes turned into corpses within ten seconds.

Rushed into the headquarters.

Some threw grenades from the courtyard wall, some from the gate, and bombed the inside of the gate and the corners, killing the Japanese soldiers.

Soon they arrived at the headquarters building, a three-story building, and surrounded it. Some personnel were on guard outside and killed the Japanese reinforcements. Some personnel were snipers and killed the Japanese soldiers on the upper floors. Some soldiers charged upwards.

Soon, a squad of more than 50 Japanese soldiers ambushed in the headquarters compound was wiped out.

Several special forces soldiers entered the room by opening the door or breaking the window.

At this time, the Japanese division commander Major General Mizukawa and a dozen Japanese officers, plus the traitor Commander Yun and a dozen former officers of the 24th Army, plus geishas and comfort women, were all stunned.

They also thought that the gunshots and shootings just now were all Japanese soldiers sniping the attackers.

Because the sniper rifle used by Su Fei is also a Type 38 rifle.

Su Fei arrived.

"Who are you?"

Among the commandos, several were guides provided by Commander Gao, who immediately pointed out, "He's Commander Yun, and that's Commander Pu!"

That's good. Su Fei smiled faintly, "Commander Yun, you tomb robber, big traitor, today is your end. Commander Pu, are you also willing to surrender to the Japanese army?"

Commander Yun was terrified, trembling and speechless. Commander Pu jumped up excitedly: "I am, I am a prisoner. I don't want to surrender, I don't want to be a traitor, save me!"

Su Fei waved his hand, and the commandos around him gathered around him.

Major General Mizukawa's face turned pale, and he suddenly drew his saber from his waist. "Are you really a member of the Nationalist Army? Not a rebel from the 24th Army?"

He thought they were captured, but the remnants of the reorganized 24th Army suddenly turned against them and ambushed them.

Su Fei revealed his identity.

"Ah? Is it really you? How did you get in?"

Su Fei didn't give them any time to chat, but directly ordered them to be arrested and anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy.

Also, Commander Yun was killed on the spot!

He was shot dead in the middle of his eyebrows and fell down as heavily as a dead dog.

"As for the remaining rebel officers, no one will be held accountable. As long as you are willing to revolt now, you can resume your former positions in the future and continue to serve in the Hebei-Chahar War Zone."

The officers' blood immediately boiled.

Someone came in and said, "Commander, there are many enemies, and they are all besieging this place."

OK.

Su Fei left behind a few soldiers and sent the rest out to fight.

The sound of gunfire and artillery fire outside was intense, so Major General Mizukawa became ferocious again: "The Empire is mighty! The Imperial Army is coming, you can't escape!"

Ha ha.

Su Fei started chatting with him. He talked about the reasons for the success of the raid, the 81 rifle, the 8x and 4x scopes, the 35 grenade launcher, and the night vision goggles. All of a sudden, all the Japanese officers and the captured officers of the 24th Army were stunned.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Major General Mizukawa shouted at the top of his lungs.

After a few minutes, it was quiet outside.

Someone came in and said, "Tell the commander that we have wiped out all the enemies who were besieging us. We have killed more than 600 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of puppet troops."

Major General Mizukawa jumped up and down excitedly again, like a frightened little mouse, squeaking and screaming, "No way! You're lying."

Hey.

Su Fei asked a soldier to bring the night vision goggles for Shuichuan to admire. When he caught a glimpse of the dark scenery outside the window in the distance, he was completely stunned, as if he was hit by a hammer. He screamed and fainted.

There was still sporadic fighting outside.

Su Fei checked the Japanese military information, military maps, telegram codes, etc., and immediately sent a telegram ordering the Japanese troops heading north to assemble outside a town and wait for reinforcements.

Over there is the main force of Xinxiang's reinforcements. There are about 3500 Japanese soldiers, the absolute main force.

"Understood. I'll obey your orders."

Japanese military telegram reply.

Su Fei immediately telegraphed Chu Yunfei, asking his cavalry regiment to sneak attack the enemy, disguise themselves as Japanese troops, launch a surprise attack, kill suddenly, and wipe out all the enemies.

The call came from Kaifeng, and the Japanese officer's voice was angry: "What's that noise? Is there a battle?"

Upon inquiry, it turned out to be a call from the duty staff officer of the Japanese Army's Kaifeng Second Army Headquarters.

Su Fei made an excuse, saying that the captured troops of the 24th Army suddenly rebelled, but it had been quelled.

"General Shuichuan has set up an ambush and captured Su Fei, commander of the Nationalist Army's Hebei-Chahar War Zone Cavalry Group Army. Please come to the inspection station."

what?

The Japanese army immediately inquired, and then a phone call came: "General Tu Feiyuan is inspecting here, and he is going to interrogate Su Fei personally."

Fatty Rabbit? This old guy is coming?

Kill him.

Many commandos wanted to wait, but Su Fei thought for a moment and refused. How cunning is that old devil? Besides, the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city will definitely be able to understand some of the truth about the battle here, especially at the Xinxiang airport. The Japanese have people there, and they will know it with just a telegram.

Therefore, Su Fei was not so greedy. He ordered the withdrawal of troops and took away a lot of documents and top-secret materials from the Japanese command.

He ordered the captured officers of the 24th Army to knock out the Japanese officers, tie them up and carry them on their backs, with the two tied together to avoid any accidents.

While leaving the city, they found Japanese soldiers coming to investigate and killed them!

Got out of the city smoothly.

They all rode on their war horses and tied the Japanese prisoners to their horses. They seized at least 300 horses from the Japanese.

Instead of retreating north, they headed towards the airport!

Along the way, the night vision goggles played a key role. We discovered many enemy ambushes and attacked them first, killing many of them.

We climbed 4000 meters in one breath and arrived near the airport. We saw more than a dozen planes on the apron.

There are many Japanese bunkers around.

Therefore, artillery fire was deployed at a distance, and mortars were fired at the apron. Soldiers in the front used walkie-talkies to adjust and report at any time, acting as eyes and bombing the Japanese planes into pieces.

The Japanese army was enraged and rushed out to fight.

As a result, they were ambushed by Su Fei's troops.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed by bursts of automatic rifle fire, precise sniping from 38 rifles and night vision goggles, and a volley of 35 grenade rounds. In the darkness, the Japanese army charged forward like a tide, leaving a field of corpses.

After seizing Japanese weapons and ammunition, the commandos entered the airport, eliminated all the Japanese troops, and completely burned the airport into ruins before leaving.

The captured pouting Japanese officers, including Major General Mizukawa, struggled desperately, their hearts were bleeding!
