Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

On the way, we actually encountered Japanese troops coming to reinforce.

They were coming from the direction of the county town, and after entering Wanjia Town, they discovered the problem, so they chased them from the main road. Then, more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops came out from the Xiaolizhuang stronghold on the left to block their flank.

Su Fei observed through the telescope and frowned.

The Japanese devils were professional desperadoes, single-minded, fighting dogs who didn't care about their lives, and their fighting power was astonishing. The devils from the county town had five three-wheeled motorcycles, three light machine guns, about 10 people, 7 cavalrymen, and more than 30 Imperial Army infantrymen, a total of more than 50 people.

Su Fei immediately ordered the Meng family militiamen to go to the left to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops in the Xiaolizhuang stronghold, and he himself took the Bai family militiamen as the rear guard.

The people from the Zhang and Wang families, along with the women from the Meng family, drove away the captured war horses, food, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., and quickly retreated to Baijia Town.

"Boss, the Japanese are here, what should we do?" The seventh concubine looked panicked.

Su Fei loaded the bullets into the gun: "What should we do? Catch the little Japanese and beat them to death!"

The seventh concubine suddenly became bolder and fired her pistol into the sky, calling on all the soldiers of the Bai family to fight well and listen to the boss!

However, the militiamen of the Bai family were afraid of the Japanese soldiers.

Instinctively fearful, their faces turned pale.

"Master, we're in big trouble this time. Aren't you Mr. Kurihara, a Japanese spy? Go and explain. We're just seeking revenge against the Imperial Army, not provoking the Japanese. We really can't defeat the Japanese."

A bunch of trash.

"The Imperial Army is the Japanese's dog. If we beat the dog, will their master be happy? Besides, the Japanese are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. The more you explain, the more crazy they become. The more you hurt them, the more they wag their tails! Brothers, are you men? Do you want to live? If you do, then aim at the Japanese and beat them to death! Whoever is afraid and wants to escape, get out of here! I look down on him!"

what?

All the soldiers were so excited that their faces turned red.

The troops were dispersed, and the mortars were placed in the ditches by the roadside. Distance was measured, adjustments were made, loading was done, and boom, boom, boom!

After three shots, the results were pretty good. A Japanese three-wheeled motorcycle was overturned, and three Japanese soldiers fell headfirst into the ditch by the roadside. When they came out, they were already as thin as bronze!

Two cavalrymen and three infantrymen jumped up and fell down again, turning into bloody men.

The Japanese and puppet troops were shocked and jumped off their motorcycles, hiding on the spot, and yelled: "Hey, you bastards, are you blind? Are you confused?"

The Japanese machine guns were set up and fired, but were intercepted by the puppet army: "We are one of them, Taijun!"

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Su Fei's team took the initiative and fired fiercely with machine guns, quickly suppressing the Japanese army and making it unable to raise its head. Su Fei fired two more mortars.

The Japanese soldiers rolled and crawled into the ditches in the fields and dared not come out.

On the left, the Meng family soldiers intercepted more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops from Xiaolizhuang. It was not difficult. There were only three or four Japanese soldiers over there, mainly the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army only served as soldiers and would not risk their lives easily.

Su Fei decided to teach the devils from the county a lesson.

If we don't hurt these guys, we won't be able to live in peace even if we retreat to Baijia Town, right?

Beat the Japanese soldiers severely and shatter the illusions of the mob in Baijia Town to coexist peacefully with the Japanese.

"Leave 10 people behind, and the rest will fight and retreat. When we surprise the Japanese, you turn around and shoot, shout, and cooperate!" Su Fei patted the seventh concubine's arm.

The seventh concubine looked at Su Fei with charming eyes and deep affection, then agreed crisply. She hurriedly assigned 10 people, and the rest fought and retreated.

Su Fei commanded 10 militiamen to disperse and sneak into a forest on the side of the road. Then they went around to the west, where there were a lot of bushes at the edge of a 150-meter-long deserted forest.

Su Fei believed that the Japanese and puppet troops were good at flanking and would definitely go through the west side of the woods. They did not dare to walk through the woods for fear of being ambushed!

Sure enough, just after they lay in ambush for a while, they saw five Japanese cavalrymen and ten Imperial Army infantrymen running towards them at the fastest speed.

When they were about ten meters away, Su Fei gave an order and there was a burst of gunfire. Five Japanese soldiers fell off their horses and ten Imperial Army soldiers turned around and ran away.

run?

Su Fei ordered his men to shout, asking them to put down their guns and leave, otherwise, no one would be able to leave.

The Imperial Army was very obedient and quickly dropped their guns and ran away.

Su Fei and others did not bother to seize the Japanese war horses, and fiercely pursued the Imperial Army. They went around the woods to the north and east, entered the road, and outflanked the enemy. At a glance, they saw that the Japanese and puppet troops were chasing the Seventh Concubine's Bai family soldiers like a group of wild dogs, and were very arrogant.

They dispersed and hid, firing fiercely at the backs of the Japanese and puppet troops on both sides of the road more than a hundred meters away.

The Japanese and puppet troops were not on guard from behind, and seven or eight were killed or wounded on the spot. The rest were terrified and crawled around, shooting and running to the east. A few of them hid in the woods.

Went into the woods?

That was a big trouble. It wasn't safe for Su Fei and the others to go back. In his anxiety, he suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly: "The first company of the first battalion of the independent regiment went into the woods to search. The second company charged! Kill, kill! Target the Japanese only, and leave the Imperial Army alone!"

Ten people shouted together.

The Japanese and puppet troops who had hidden in the woods were frightened and rushed out like wild boars, fleeing to the east.

They sent people back to the west to find the five Japanese war horses that were eating grass. Su Fei and his men took the main road directly. With the support of the Seventh Concubine's troops, they seized three Japanese motorcycles and went to assist the Meng family soldiers to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops coming out of the Xiaolizhuang stronghold.

When the Japanese and puppet troops saw that the situation was not right, they fled.

Finally, Su Fei led the militia back to Baijia Town after many hardships.

The villagers all came to greet them, crying and shouting, looking for their men, fathers, brothers, etc. If they saw them, they would cry softly. If they couldn't see them, or if they saw a corpse, they would cry and wail on the spot, and even faint.

In this bloody battle, the Baijia Town militia dispatched 300 men, including more than 20 women, and suffered about 100 casualties. The losses were very heavy.

Su Fei did not dare to be careless. On the one hand, he sent people to stand guard and protect the village, and on the other hand, he convened an emergency meeting. The main decision-makers of the four major families in the village and the leaders of the militia all attended the meeting.

First, let the leaders involved in the battle explain the battle process, understand the overall picture of the battle, let the villagers know the cruelty of the battle, and then discuss what to do and who to join next.

After the reconciliation was completed, everyone was stunned.

Oh my god.

Su Fei, alone, first took five Bai family soldiers and sneaked into Wanjia Town, killed the Imperial Army cavalry that was ten times larger than his own, and then defeated the retreating Imperial Army head-on until they were completely wiped out. He was also good at using mortars, making it difficult for the Japanese to withstand the attack. Finally, he took ten people and set up an ambush cleverly, defeating the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops coming from the county in one fell swoop.

How awesome is this?

Is that human being?

This is God.

Bold and courageous, he defeated the many with the few, the strong with the weak, and was unstoppable...

The seventh concubine was so surprised that her heart was in turmoil. She secretly swore that she must marry this man, even if it meant being his mistress or even his maid.

The others pondered the entire battle over and over again, filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for Su Fei, the Baijia Town militia would have been wiped out!

All the people in Baijia Town will suffer!

Young girls and wives will definitely be captured and harmed by the Imperial Army and the Japanese!

Maybe the Japanese would carry out the "Three Alls" policy and slaughter the entire village without a single person left...

"Mrs. Liyuan, you are so powerful. From now on, you will be the head of our Baijia Town and the chief shopkeeper. You are our uncle!"

"Mr. Li Yuan is the mayor of Baijia Town, the head of the militia, and the boss of all of us!"

Everyone stood up and bowed to Su Fei.

Su Fei declined.

Baijia Town killed the traitor Meng Zhanqiang and used the Baijia Town militia to destroy the Wanjia Town Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion. The next step is to send the captured war horses, sabers and other supplies and equipment to the Eighth Route Army, and the mission will be complete.

Everyone begged Su Fei desperately and knelt down!

"Kurizono-tai-kun, help us! Please have mercy on us! Wuuuuuu."

Is that so? It's a good time to negotiate the price!

Su Fei revealed his true identity. He was originally a Chinese named Su Fei. He was trained by the Japanese army and sent to the Eighth Route Army as an undercover agent. Now that he has broken off relations with the Japanese, he doesn't want to work for the Japanese anymore. He decided to return to the Eighth Route Army and stop being a devil and become a human being!

"Are you willing to follow me and suffer as an Eighth Route Army soldier?"

Yes, yes!

You are our protector!

"Uncle Su Fei, you are the benefactor of our Meng family's revenge. You are the righteous Guan Erye! You are willing to risk your life to uphold justice for our Baijia Town! Uncle Su, please stay. The former home of Town Chief Meng is your home. All of Town Chief Meng's land, property, and more than 30 concubines are yours. If you are willing, you can even take in his two daughters, as long as you are willing to stay!"

"Uncle Su, we are willing to follow you and join the Eighth Route Army! As long as you can stay."

"Master, if you don't agree, we won't get up!"

These people really can’t get up!

More than a dozen family leaders not only knelt but also kowtowed!

Su Fei really didn't want to be the mayor and group leader of Baijia Town.

His original intention was to eliminate the traitor Meng Zhanqiang along the way, but he maliciously exploited the Baijia Town traitor militia to take advantage of the situation and follow him to eliminate the Wanjia Town puppet cavalry battalion. His tactics were very casual and far-fetched, impersonating Japanese and sowing discord. Even a fool would come to his senses after a while and appreciate the meaning!

By then, these former traitors will turn against us, and I, the town mayor and the regiment commander, will be roasted on the fire!

In order to take the next step, Su Fei agreed to send the war horses and equipment of the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion in Baijia Town to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Suddenly, more than a dozen prominent figures in Baijia Town burst into tears of joy.

"Uncle Su, Mayor Su, thank you for your hard work."

In troubled times, it is so rare to find a patron saint as strong as Su Fei.

Su Fei raised his hand: "Wait, I have another condition. If you don't agree, I will regret it! Everyone, who agrees to donate all the captured war horses to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment?"

what?

No one agrees!

The spoils that were painstakingly built with human lives are actually given away for free? Huh?

Su Fei smiled faintly. "If we give these horses, sabers, and all the captured supplies to the Eighth Route Army, can we buy back the lives of the 60 or so captured soldiers? Can we redeem the former town mayor, Meng Zhanqiang, for murdering the Eighth Route Army's family members? Can we gain the Eighth Route Army's secret protection and support and live without worries?"

what?

Trading horses for people?

high!

Yes, yes, Uncle Su, you are right, it’s great, it’s such a good deal!

"What about the other captured weapons, like mortars and machine guns? Should we give them to the Eighth Route Army as a gift to make them happy and willing to exchange them with us?"

"Also, how about sending some of the captured rations to the Eighth Route Army as payment for not executing me, a traitor to the Eighth Route Army and a hidden Japanese spy?"

Everyone knelt immediately: "Uncle Su, Mayor Su, whatever you say is what it is! You are our amulet, our parent official!"

Su Fei was very satisfied: "Yes, that's enough. I will contact the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment immediately. Seniors, do you have anything else to say? Let's raise it together!"

An old man from the Meng family flattered him: "Uncle Su, do you want me to call all the more than 30 beautiful concubines of the Meng family, Meng Zhanqiang, to come and see you? They are already yours. When you have time, please hurry up and take care of them..."

……

Su Fei rode back to the independent regiment on horseback. The seventh concubine was worried that he would not return, so she personally brought a dozen people and drove the first batch of thirty military horses to follow him.

Not far from Baijia Town, we met a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, led by Deputy Regiment Commander Kong Jie himself, a company of regular troops!

The Eighth Route Army immediately took strict alert and formed up into battle formation.

Su Fei shouted from afar, and the Eighth Route Army let him go alone.

Coming over here, he stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Captain Kong, Su Fei reports to you!"

Deputy Regimental Commander Kong Jie came over, looked him up and down for a long time, and then kicked him hard. "Fuck, you're still alive? I heard from Monk Wei Dayong that Meng Zhanqiang had you beheaded! Bah! Are you crazy? You went to Baijia Town alone? Did you know that Baijia Town is a den of traitors? And that the mayor, Meng Zhanqiang, is a die-hard traitor? Monk Wei Dayong killed Meng Zhanqiang, and you're actually safe and sound?"

Su Fei dusted himself off and said, "Didn't I come back safely?"

Regimental Commander Kong Jie spotted the military horses over 300 meters away and laughed, "Are those the mules and horses collected from Baijia Town? Are they going to exchange them with our Eighth Route Army for Meng Zhanfa's puppet prisoners? Oh, you have 30 mules, and you think you can get back 60 prisoners? You're dreaming! Those mules and horses are obviously a very poor breed. They can't be ridden or pulled, and they're just gluttons, wasting our food!"

Su Fei said, "Captain, you are mistaken this time. That is not a rubbish horse, but a well-trained Mongolian horse from a legitimate cavalry battalion."

"What? Cavalry Battalion? Where is there a cavalry battalion? You... Oh my god, what a fine horse! I didn't even look closely at it!"

Regimental Commander Kong Jie looked through his telescope, astonished: "Where did that traitor Meng Zhanqiang get the regular army horses?"

Su Fei said he was from Wanjia Town.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Deputy Regimental Commander Kong Jie shook his head like a rattle. "How could the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army give away their war horses for free to a traitorous town mayor's militia? Are you crazy?"

Su Fei narrated the whole process.

"Comrade Su Fei, you're not making this up, are you? Just relying on a bunch of remnants of a militia you instigated, you wiped out the entire Imperial Army cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town? We in the Eighth Route Army don't tolerate deceiving our superiors; that would be a serious mistake!"
