Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

During the bombardment, Su Fei's troops were scattered into the surrounding jungle.

From afar, ordinary mortar shells kept flashing and exploding, setting the village on fire. Then, two specially made white phosphorus bombs blasted over, completely setting the village on fire.

The Japanese troops and indigenous puppet troops hiding in the village were terrified. The enemies stained with white phosphorus let out shrill howls, dodged desperately, rolled over, and the flames on their bodies grew bigger and bigger.

More than 50 Japanese and puppet troops were killed or wounded.

Under the command of a Japanese captain, they quickly rushed out of the village and rushed towards this side.

They were already familiar with the environment, and with the recruited indigenous puppet troops as guides, they were well versed in the route and moved forward to encircle the enemy.

At the same time, hearing the sound of artillery and seeing the flames, other Japanese troops immediately surrounded the area.

Upon hearing the news, Division Commander Tanaka of Kaile Town went outside to observe through binoculars and became excited. "Humph, you audacious commander of the Chinese Cavalry Group Army! Su Fei, Su Fei, you actually led a small unit in a surprise attack. You met me today, and you're dead. Come here."

The Japanese troops in Kaile Town dispatched more than 800 people to surround and reinforce that area.

More Japanese troops surrounded the firing artillery positions.

In Tanaka's opinion, everything was over, and Su Fei was already a dead man.

He planned other battles.

Now, the Allies had sophisticated weapons from American-equipped divisions, sufficient ammunition, a lot of large-caliber artillery, as well as armored vehicles, tanks and other heavy equipment, which could easily suppress the Japanese army. The 56th Division was in a difficult situation.

He would fight back, using a small elite force to repeatedly harass the Allied forces, keeping them nervous all day long until they finally collapsed.

"In the tropical jungle, only jungle warfare and psychological warfare are king. All your advanced weapons are in vain."

After being happy, he quickly became worried.

His troops had only three infantry regiments, plus four special forces regiments including search, engineering, logistics, and field artillery. The total strength was less than 20,000 people, but they had to defend two places in northern Myanmar and western Yunnan, and confront more than 200,000 Chinese Expeditionary Force and Allied troops. The pressure was extremely enormous. Fortunately, the commander of the 33rd Corps had agreed to let the 18th Division take over. He took command of the 18th Division and the 56th Division was handed over to Lieutenant General Songshan. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the last battle in northern Myanmar!

"Tojo, that idiot, ruined Guadalcanal in vain!"

He still couldn't forget his glorious history. Because he publicly cursed Prime Minister Tojo's incompetence, he was driven to the wilderness of the northern Burma battlefield. Humph, I don't regret it!

Drawing his saber, Division Commander Tanaka ordered the Japanese troops left behind to remain on high alert and be careful of the Chinese army's feint to the east and attack in the west.

In Tanaka's opinion, even if half of the elite troops of Kaile Town, which has a population of more than 1,500, were withdrawn, it would not affect the overall situation.

Suddenly, he received a telegram with an order from General Honda, commander of the 33rd Army, ordering him to leave Kaile Town immediately and rush to Myitkyina to take over the vanguard troops of the 18th Division.

Tanaka hurriedly left Kaile Town in a truck with a guard of more than 300 people.

"Su Fei, it's such a pity that I can't kill you myself. You're lucky. Just wait, when I come back with the new troops of the 18th Division, you'll be in trouble! Just like a year ago, no matter how many troops you have!"

Division Commander Tanaka left unwillingly. In fact, he should feel lucky, otherwise, he would be the unlucky one, and his head would become a record of Su Fei's troops!

Around Luoluo Village, Su Fei's troops dug some trenches between and under the tall trees and hid in them. The large number of rugged trees and countless ground roots were good concealment facilities. The only problem was that they also had gas masks.

Boom boom boom.

The Japanese army carried out intensive bombardment on the artillery firing positions of Su Fei's troops, using indirect fire shells such as mortars, which exploded for more than ten minutes.

Afterwards, the Japanese also carried out white phosphorus bombing, setting the woods on fire.

The Japanese army also covered the sky above Su Fei's troops with flares.

The humid forest environment made the Japanese army's white phosphorus bombs less effective.

However, the Japanese army unsurprisingly used poison gas bombs.

The area where at least half of Su Fei's troops were located was affected by the poison gas bombs.

Half an hour later, the Japanese army began to advance and search on a large scale.

At this moment, they were attacked by Su Feijun's powerful sniper.

Half of Su Fei's army retreated early and spread out.

However, they only have more than 20 night vision goggles, which means that they only have more than 20 soldiers with real night combat capabilities.

That's enough.

When thousands of Japanese troops surrounded this area on a large scale, Su Fei's outer troops hid in the dense treetops or trenches, covered with dense bushes, and escaped.

They appeared only after the Japanese search troops had passed, and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese skirmish line from behind.

Shoot directly.

Puff puff oh.

The Japanese soldiers were shocked, and some of those who were shot struggled violently and screamed to alert the police.

The Japanese army was in chaos.

Before they could find where the enemy was, they were shot.

At night in the forest, there were the chirping sounds of various insects and birds, and the croaking of frogs and toads, which were constantly interrupted by the movement of Japanese troops. This noise seriously affected the Japanese troops' judgment of the source of the gunshots, not to mention the silencers.

The 81 rifle fired rapidly, killing a large number of Japanese soldiers.

At the same time, Su Fei's army, more than 20 people in the interior, also began to attack the enemy.

It's much easier now that I've removed the gas mask.

Puff puff.

The Japanese soldiers were gently called out one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a Su Fei soldier was able to kill dozens of Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army couldn't see the target.

The best way is to take cover, not fire in retaliation, shoot with your rifle, don't you want to aim?

Are you exposing your position by firing randomly?

The shrewd Japanese army was restrained by Su Fei's army.

The invisible Japanese army was still complacent about their good concealment, but they were quickly defeated.

In this battle, the Japanese army was still beaten unilaterally.

The battle lasted only a dozen minutes, and Su Feijun, relying on more than 60 night vision goggles, easily killed thousands of Japanese soldiers!

A large number of Japanese troops discovered the danger and began to retreat.

On the way of retreat, they were ambushed and hunted down again.

There were also some Japanese soldiers lurking on the ground without moving.

However, Su Feijun did not move and waited.

The bodies of the Japanese soldiers cooled down quickly, but the lurking soldiers were spotted by the infrared night vision goggles. Shoot!

At three o'clock in the morning, Su Fei's army's insiders killed all the enemies they could find and advanced towards Luoluo Village. Along the way, they found the enemy again and shot them.

The Japanese army had no trenches and thought that hiding behind the big trees was good enough and safe. It was dark at night and no one could see them.

Puff puff.

They eliminated the Japanese troops along the way and entered Luoluo Village.

The Japanese troops and the indigenous puppet troops were patrolling outside the village and were killed.

They entered the village again, and dozens of Japanese and puppet troops there were killed one after another.

After capturing several indigenous puppet soldiers, Su Feijun was equipped with indigenous translators. After interrogation, he learned the layout of the Japanese army.

There is indeed a traitor.

Su Fei's troops, consisting of more than 200 people, rushed southward. Along the way, they rarely encountered Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops all went to the northwest to encircle and fight.

It doesn't matter if they discovered it. There were indigenous translators and indigenous puppet army prisoners who disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and took advantage of the conversation opportunities of the indigenous puppet army to kill the enemy.

Enter Kaile Town.

A large number of Japanese sentries and patrolmen were shot and killed, and the Japanese security forces in the outer north gate area were wiped out silently.

Enter the town.

The Japanese army noticed this and immediately came to besiege them.

It was pitch dark and it was difficult for the Japanese army to move.

Su Fei's troops went on a killing spree.

Half an hour later, the battle ended and hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out.

Su Fei still admired the Japanese army very much, fighting to the death and never running away.

Enter the Japanese army's headquarters, division headquarters.

The discovery and seizure of a large number of documents and materials, including some Japanese battle plans, left Su Fei speechless with shock. Hadn't the Japanese army long been aware of the danger and used insiders to make pre-arrangements? Why didn't they retreat from the division headquarters? Were they too confident?

They took away some key documents and secrets, and then set fire to the division headquarters.

retreat.

Wait around town.

The Japanese and puppet troops came hurriedly from all directions.

I guess there was a firefight here, but unfortunately, the road is too difficult to travel on.

Su Fei also ambushed some soldiers on the road to attack and delay the enemy.

The Japanese army quickly entered the town.

Should we keep shooting while charging, or bomb with grenade launchers? The more chaotic the better, right?

Su Fei's troops laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

shooting.

He assassinated hundreds of Japanese soldiers.

When the Japanese army finally realized something was wrong and hurried to defend the town, Su Fei's troops were outside and continued to shoot at the Japanese soldiers.

Many Japanese soldiers had to observe from the walls of the city, thinking that there would be no problem at night. However, they would be blown up as soon as they showed their heads.

At 4:30 in the morning, Su Fei's army began to retreat. They had already destroyed the Japanese division headquarters, which was enough to shock the enemy and successfully return.

Su Fei was also worried about what the traitor might do next. The Japanese had some powerful traps, including the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

Walking is the best strategy.

Through the pre-arranged route, they joined up with the troops in the jungle on the outer line and retreated to the northwest together.

The march was extremely arduous. Due to concerns about Japanese ambushes, they needed repeated searches and careful observations, and they did not return to the barracks until noon the next day.

Su Fei's army of over 500 men went out, with 5 killed and 6 wounded. They killed or wounded nearly 2000 Japanese and indigenous puppet troops, and even destroyed the Japanese division headquarters.

This time, when the captured information of the Japanese 56th Division was submitted, General Di no longer had any doubts.

Of course, Su Fei handled it in a low-key manner. He did not say that 2000 Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated, but only said that more than 300 people were eliminated. Don't scare people!

Report the traitor to General Di.

But who is the traitor?

How can we dig out the mole?

Su Fei didn't know either.

General Di said that a secret team could be set up to conduct a covert investigation.

The news was reported to General Sun and General Liao of the New 22nd and 38th Divisions, asking them to assist in the investigation.
