Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei was shocked and saluted instinctively: "Captain? What are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong's eyes pierced Su Fei's soul like a needle. He turned the pistol with one hand like magic and stuffed it into Su Fei's hand. As if nothing had happened, his expression changed 180 degrees and he laughed heartily: "Damn it, you are really good, kid, you are so good at talking, just as hypocritical as intellectuals, and you respect your superiors! Haha, okay, kid, no, Comrade Goudan, your full name is Su Fei, right? Well, Comrade Su Fei, from now on, you are the personal horseman and orderly of Li Yunlong, the commander of the New 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!"

Oh my God, can I be Li Yunlong’s orderly?

Bask in the protagonist's halo?

Li Yunlong will be a high-ranking leader at the level of division commander or army commander in the future. Wouldn't it be possible for him to rise to a higher position if he follows him?

So he was testing my courage just now?

Su Fei was surprised and immediately raised his right fist and swore: "I will resolutely obey the orders of the leader, resolutely protect the leader's safety, and resolutely serve the leader well!"

So well-trained?

Of course, modern veterans!

However, in Li Yunlong's eyes, it was completely different.

A little brat recruit is so smart?

How can it be?

The words he used were definitely not ordinary.

A rural kid is so capable?

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly became alert, but he quickly covered it up and said in a nonchalant tone, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. We are called guards here!"

Su Fei sensed that he had some doubts about him, especially the four words "our side", which was definitely not a slip of the tongue. He immediately defended himself: "Commander, it's not our side. We are guards in the Eighth Route Army. On the Kuomintang side, we are horsemen and orderly soldiers. Commander, do you suspect that I am an undercover agent from the Kuomintang side?"

Li Yunlong laughed heartily, saying half-heartedly, "Little clever fellow, you idiot! Now that the KMT and the CCP are collaborating, what can you do even if you come undercover? At most, you can come and admire our heroic demeanor in annihilating the Japanese. Hey, it would be so great if you were a female spy sent undercover by the KMT, hahahaha."

Su Fei lost his temper after hearing what he said.

The first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao arrived, covered in dust, with sweat and dirt stuck to his head, looking rough and mighty.

Seeing Li Yunlong and Su Fei chatting together, he was overjoyed: "Captain, you know him too? Today I can finally say that I really know this young comrade. He looks so timid and refined, but he fights with all his might and is very smart. He's incredible."

Li Yunlong stretched out his hand to stop him: "I saw it all. This kid is a good seedling, so I chose him to be my guard. Together with Hu Zi, they are all my guards."

Zhang Dabiao was stunned for a long time, then gave Su Fei a thumbs up. When he found the bullet boxes Su Fei had seized, he took three of them with a licking face: "Captain, he was my soldier, right? His captured items also belong to our battalion, right? I didn't take too much, did I? I was going to promote him to squad leader, but I'm at a big loss..."

Li Yunlong asked him to leave a box of bullets and take the rest away.

Zhang Dabiao immediately opened the bullet box to check, filled it with four mixed bullets, and ran away with a smile.

"Get rich!"

A young soldier came, he was chubby and strong. Li Yunlong waved his hand and muttered for a while, then asked Su Fei to follow him.

"Hu Zi, as a veteran guard, you must complete your education mission! Let Comrade Goudan quickly become familiar with and competent in the guard job!"

Hu Zi stood at attention and saluted, glancing at Su Fei meaningfully: "Yes!"

Do I want him to examine me?

You don't trust me?

Su Fei, feeling somewhat unhappy, hurriedly climbed out of the anti-artillery hole and followed the man to the trench on the side.

Hu Zi said mischievously, "Isn't this Goudan? He's quite impressive today. I don't think he looks like Goudan anymore. He should be called Xiongdan!"

Su Fei was a little angry: "What do you mean?"

Hu Zi said, "You can't even get into the trench with so little ammunition. How shameless! If our regiment commander hadn't pulled you back, you would have lost your life!"

Su Fei blushed. This was indeed the truth. However, being insulted by him made him unhappy. "I participated in the battle and was exhausted physically."

Hu Zi chuckled, "I see. You're really awesome today. I said that on purpose. Hey, what did you and the team leader say? Our team leader praised you, saying that you have a high level of education and a promising future, and asked me to learn from you!"

Su Fei smiled slightly, feeling very proud.

As a college graduate, how can you country bumpkins compare to me?

The two chatted for a while.

The Japs rushed up again.

Su Fei was about to go into battle, but was stopped by Hu Zi, "Let's go and protect the leader!"

The two men followed the winding trench to the other side.

Li Yunlong was chatting with someone in the trench: "Yes, Old Shen, I have one last reminder. After your Second Battalion fights hard, feign defeat and retreat to lure the Japanese over to the trench, preferably to the front of the second line of defense!"

The second battalion commander agreed and hurried away with his guards.

At this time, the sound of the Japanese charging was very arrogant.

Li Yunlong and Hu Zi were both lying on the edge of the ditch watching.

They used a bamboo tube to poke through the edge of the ditch to ensure safety.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion were squatting in the trenches, with different expressions on their faces, as quiet as if they were resting with their eyes closed in the subway.

Some men rhythmically flicked their rifles with their fingers.

The Japanese changed their pattern. There was only one squad charging as vanguard, and the rear team was more than 80 meters apart, with about a hundred people.

The Japanese vanguards ran and shot at the same time, causing dust to fly up on the edge of the ditch of the New 1st Regiment's frontal defense position. The sharp gunshots made Su Fei very irritated.

"Tell me, why is there only one squad of Japanese soldiers in front, but a large force so far behind them?" Li Yunlong stopped observing and asked Hu Zi.

Hu Zi pondered for a moment, "Captain, the Japs are just fishing. The squad in front only has thirteen people. If we alert them, our small force will intercept them. They will aim their rifles at us and shoot. The Japs behind us will have more space to shoot, so they won't be afraid of being blocked in front. If our large force attacks, the Japs will use grenade launchers, mortars, and mountain artillery to bombard us! They have fewer soldiers in the front, so they won't care that much."

Li Yunlong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Huzi, you can be a platoon leader when you join the army!"

Su Fei also felt that Hu Zi was meticulous and not simple.

Hu Zi was a little proud, and turned back to make things difficult for Su Fei: "If you were a Japanese soldier, how would you charge next time?"

Su Fei had never thought about it.

Who knows what the Japanese are thinking?

It was difficult to answer directly, so he changed the subject: "Comrade Huzi, don't interfere with the commander's thinking and execution of the battle! We can discuss this issue next time. Right now, the enemy is about to charge!"

"Thoughts? Development? Discussion? You're such a jerk, are you good at that? Why are you using such fancy words?"

Li Yunlong and Hu Zi looked at Su Fei together and were extremely surprised.

This kind of intellectual language is only used by senior intellectuals and political cadres at ideological life meetings!

The Japs are rushing over.

More than a dozen soldiers from the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment rushed forward and exchanged fire with the enemy, but were soon all killed. Then a few more soldiers rushed forward and wiped out an entire squad of the enemy.

The devil's conspiracy failed.

The enraged Japs immediately resumed their artillery bombardment, and the large infantry force launched a fierce charge at the same time.

Some of the soldiers of the second battalion jumped onto the trenches, exchanged fire with the enemy, and then fled to the rear.

"Run, retreat, retreat!"

The retreating soldiers of the Second Battalion were constantly chased and shot by the Japanese and bombarded by artillery fire, suffering heavy casualties!

The trench was high in the front and low in the back. Su Fei looked back and saw almost no obstacles. It could be estimated that at least twenty soldiers were killed or injured in the retreat.

The price is not small.

Hu Zi patted Su Fei and quickly went into the anti-artillery hole dug on the trench wall.

The same was true for other soldiers in the trenches.

The Japanese soldiers howled all the way and rushed to the position. Some jumped into the trenches, some threw grenades into the trenches, and most jumped over directly, frantically chasing some of the soldiers of our retreating Second Battalion.

Su Fei couldn't see it, but he could feel it from the vibration on the ground, because Hu Zi had blocked the entrance of the cave with a piece of wooden board coated with mud.

"Thirty, twenty-nine, eight, seven... one! I'm rich!"

Hu Zi counted while he was doing this, then suddenly pulled the board back and rushed out.

Su Fei also rushed out.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion came out from the closed and hidden anti-artillery holes, stood in the trenches and fired at the large group of Japanese troops behind them!

More than a hundred devils, all over the mountains and plains, unstoppable!

However, under the personal command of Li Yunlong, the officers and soldiers of the New 1st Regiment in the trenches cleverly and skillfully launched a fatal attack from behind the Japanese. A burst of concentrated fire from 38 rifles knocked down a large number of enemies. The Japanese exploded from behind, spraying blood mist, and fell to the ground like a dream!

It’s so enjoyable, so enjoyable.

When the Japanese realized they had fallen into a trap, they immediately crawled to the ground and turned around to shoot.

Some of the soldiers of the Second Battalion who served as bait also turned around and launched a counterattack.

In less than three minutes, a squadron of elite Japanese troops was completely wiped out!

The most crucial thing is that all the enemy’s guns and ammunition were left at the New 1st Regiment’s position and became our army’s spoils!

Bravo!

Su Fei couldn't help but admire Li Yunlong's conducting skills.

He is worthy of being an old Changzheng veteran and an old cadre, and he is very capable.

If anyone says again that the People’s Army only knows how to use human wave tactics, I will use Flying to smear his entire family’s face!

However, the Japanese devils were not simple either, and immediately bombarded with artillery fire.

A large number of Japanese corpses and guns were blown to pieces, leaving the New 1st Regiment no chance to seize them.

Some soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were also killed or wounded by the Japanese artillery fire.

Draft it, little devil!

The battlefield soon fell silent.

The Japanese did not organize any more attacks, probably because they were discussing tactics.

The New 1st Regiment sent a small number of soldiers to search for and dig out weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Japanese in the mud and grass, and they soon returned with a full load.

Really made a fortune!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

From clear to dull, the thunder in the air gradually grew louder. A fixed-wing aircraft with a small red dot on it gradually came into view, humming and flying slowly and cutely. At first, I thought it was a model airplane toy. Later, it flew to the position of the New 1st Regiment and began to drop bombs and strafe.

A huge bomb fell from the sky, creating a three-meter-deep crater on the ground and completely destroying the more than thirty-meter-long trench over there. Several soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were blown to pieces!

Two bombs, 20mm cannon bombing, and 7.7mm machine gun strafing.

After a long while, the Japanese planes finally left.

The new regiment suffered heavy casualties.

Some soldiers rushed to dig up the soil and rescue the wounded.

Li Yunlong emerged from the anti-artillery hole and observed the direction of the Japanese position through a telescope, cursing furiously, his words becoming increasingly harsh. He cursed the Japanese soldiers from private to sergeant, corporal, squad leader, all the way to regiment commander Sakata Nobutsu, and even the emperor, prefixing them with the words "bastard", "scumbag", "spendthrift woman"...

Faced with the bombing of enemy planes, the New 1st Regiment was helpless!

"Hu Zi, look at your watch, what time is it?" Li Yunlong suddenly asked.

Hu Zi said it was 3:25 in the afternoon, and there were still three hours to complete the task.
