Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

After repeatedly sketching the topographic map on the ground, Li Yunlong asked Hu Zi to take out the military map hidden in the anti-artillery cave. After studying it repeatedly, he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this? The Japanese Sakata Regiment has spread a net to chase us, and it also threatens the 358th Regiment. They also have to move. Judging from the situation in this area, if they are watching our jokes in the dark without being exposed, they must be hiding in this area! Only near Cypress Bay!"

"These bastards, these idiots, they're not putting in any effort in the fight, but they're only good at playing hide-and-seek... Come on, tell the 358th Regiment to send troops to help immediately and attack the Sakata Regiment's left flank. If they don't join the fight, we'll report them to the theater headquarters!"

Hu Zi shouted a few times, and several soldiers came and saluted, standing at attention: "Commander."

Li Yunlong gave a few instructions and sent two soldiers to set off immediately, riding on the war horses hidden in the ravine at the fastest speed.

"Comrade Su Fei, thank you for your reminder!"

Su Fei smiled bitterly: "The 358th Regiment will definitely not send troops to rescue!"

Li Yunlong chuckled and spat on the ground. "I don't even expect them to come! I'm just so angry. If they don't help, then fine, I... someone, notify the cavalry squad. Hold up the military flags, make a big fuss, and attack in full force. Go for a spin around Baishu Bay. When we're almost there, turn back. Repeat this movement to create the illusion that part of our army is moving to Baishu Bay. Humph, even if the 358th Regiment doesn't come to reinforce, I'll still crawl on their feet and disgust them! When the Japs send their troops to mop up, how can they still feel comfortable? Haha."

He is indeed a man who never suffers any loss!

Su Fei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Yunlong was also very proud and touched his body randomly. Hu Zi quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Captain, it's here."

Li Yunlong lit a cigarette happily, took a puff, narrowed his big eyes and counted the smoke rings.

"No, that's not enough. I have to get Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment involved. Huzi, get Li Wenshu to write a letter in my name, saying that we've seized confidential documents from the Japanese and that the next target is Baishu Bay. The Japanese think that our Eighth Route Army headquarters failed to break out and moved to Baishu Bay! With that, it would be strange if the 358th Regiment doesn't come out and fight to the death, haha!"

Hu Zi interrupted him: "Comrade Li Yanjing, the clerk, has died."

Li Yunlong was stunned and sighed, "Then go find someone else! I'll give you three minutes. Find someone immediately and write a letter according to my instructions."

Hu Zi agreed and looked around. The soldiers in the trenches who were ready to go quickly lowered their heads.

"You all don't know how to write a letter? How did you learn in the literacy class?" Hu Zi was anxious.

Several soldiers were so anxious that their faces flushed: "Our handwriting is crooked and ugly. You are the regiment commander's guard, why don't you act like a model for handwriting?"

Hu Zi mentioned four people one after another and asked the soldiers to call them over. The soldiers shook their heads and cried: "You said these people were sacrificed!"

Hu Zi also cried anxiously.

Li Yunlong sighed and immediately asked Hu Zi to bring paper and pen so that he could write it himself.

Hu Zi was overjoyed and quickly found it.

Li Yunlong placed a wooden board on his knees and began to write a letter.

After writing a few words, Li Yunlong saw that everyone was peeking at him. His face flushed red and he was furious. He crumpled the paper into a ball and ate it. "Look at you, you idiot! You country bumpkins, you want me to do everything myself? Am I a god? I was born a cowherd. I'm blind if I didn't graduate from literacy class! This won't do. My handwriting is too ugly. I can't let that idiot Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment laugh at me..."

Is it so difficult to write a letter?

Su Fei walked over, took the wooden board and the remaining pieces of paper, and snatched the pen from Li Yunlong's hand. After a moment's hesitation, he quickly wrote a short letter of dozens of words.

"Great handwriting, great handwriting, you are truly a cultured person, a great intellectual... What are you writing about?" Li Yunlong took the letter, looked at it for a while with joy, and was puzzled.

Hu Zi and several other soldiers came over to watch curiously: "You?"

Su Fei sighed in his heart, what a country bumpkin.

"To Commander Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment: While intercepting the Japanese Sakata Nobutsu Regiment, officers and soldiers of the New 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army have occasionally seized enemy letters and interrogated prisoners. We have learned that the Japanese army's next major attack direction will be Baishu Bay. The Japanese believe that Baishu Bay is the current hiding place of our Eighth Route Army headquarters and the joint headquarters of a part of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If your troops are indeed hiding there, please relocate immediately! For safety reasons, you can take a preemptive strike and attack the Sakata Regiment's flank, causing confusion among the enemy. While our troops are holding back the enemy's main force, your troops can quickly escape. Please, Commander Li Yunlong of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army! On such and such a day and such a time..."

He read it carefully and clearly, handed it over with both hands, and returned it to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong, Hu Zi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. "That's not right, Comrade Su Fei. What you just read was the character for 'Tuan' in the 358th Regiment? Is it Chu Yunfei's 'Yun'? 'Fei'? How can there be such a character? Do you know how to write it?"

what?

Can you actually recognize words?

Su Fei was stunned for a moment before quickly explaining, "Captain, Hu Zi, comrades, this is simplified Chinese. This is the typeface we'll all use in the future. You're learning traditional Chinese now, which is too complicated and time-consuming. It's not conducive to communication, recognition, or writing, and it's a waste of time. We'll all have to change it in the future."

Li Yunlong looked Su Fei up and down, took a deep breath, and nodded repeatedly with emotion: "I told you, I can't graduate from the literacy class. This is really weird. Kong Jie, Ding Wei and the others have been making fun of me. From now on, I will slap them in the face with this letter! Haha!"

"This handwriting is great! It's clear and legible, not dizzy at all. That's what good handwriting is! The problem is that Chu Yunfei and those Shanxi-Suiyuan Army idiots might not be able to appreciate something so elegant and fashionable. Well, Comrade Su Fei, how about I trouble you to go there in person? Read it to Chu Yunfei just as it was just now. I've met that idiot a few times. He's so arrogant, always talking about the Whampoa Military Academy, and always mentioning the Party and the country, like Tang Monk chanting sutras. Pah, Comrade Su Fei, show him the letter, and wait until he can't understand it before reading it to him. Give him a good scare."

Su Fei was overjoyed. This task was very simple.

He repeated Li Yunlong's words as an order, and finally stated: "Comrade Su Fei promised the commander that he would resolutely complete the task!"

Su Fei was about to leave, but Li Yunlong stopped him.

He looked her up and down, rubbed her hands repeatedly, and smiled!

It’s like seeing a peerless treasure.

"We're rich! We're rich! Among the new recruits of our new regiment, there's even such a great intellectual! Haha,"

Li Yunlong rushed over, shook Su Fei's hand, and said, "Good handwriting, good letters, smart brain, and obedient to orders, all good! Comrade Su Fei, I now officially appoint you as the clerk of our new regiment, equivalent to a platoon leader. Go, and come back soon!"

Li Yunlong also instructed other cavalry squad members to carefully protect Comrade Su Fei's safety and ensure absolute safety. Even if the entire cavalry squad was sacrificed, not a single hair of Comrade Su Fei could be lost!

The soldiers' eyes changed when they looked at Su Fei, their faces full of stars. "Please rest assured, Commander. The cavalry squad is the treasure of our regiment. Comrade Su Fei is the treasure of our cavalry squad!"

……

With someone leading the way, Su Fei, under the protection of the cavalry squad, traveled more than ten miles at the fastest speed and entered the Cypress Bay area in more than an hour.

Sure enough, the area with water is a bay.

As soon as I entered the river, I was surrounded by people: "Stop, don't move, put your hands up!"

Su Fei and others took a look and found that it was indeed the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!

Li Yunlong's judgment is really accurate.

After explaining everything in a few words, Su Fei was about to leave.

Only in this way can the "ulterior motives" of Li Yunlong and the New 1st Regiment be concealed, making the routine appear more realistic.

"Slow down!" Someone tried to stop them. Several officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army came with their horsemen. They were wearing neat new uniforms, had strong physiques, and looked very elite.

After listening to the soldier's introduction, the leading officer took out the unsealed letter, glanced at it suspiciously, and immediately frowned: "Are you really from Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army? Holy shit, what kind of bullshit is this?"

Su Fei was scolded and felt furious, but he couldn't vent his anger on his allies. He saluted with dignity and questioned, "I am Su Fei, the clerk of the New 1st Regiment. I'm here on the orders of the regimental commander to find the allies and report the enemy situation. I'm sincere. I wonder who this officer is, who doesn't appreciate it and instead speaks hurtfully? What's his background? He hates the Eighth Route Army so much? Could he be a Japanese soldier in disguise?"

what?

Everyone was shocked.

The leading officer's face turned red and white, and he was about to lose his temper.

An officer nearby quickly tried to smooth things over: "Tubalu clerk, stop talking nonsense. This is Captain Qian, the commander of the 1st Battalion of our 358th Regiment."

Qian Bojun?

Is he the coward who later couldn't bear the loneliness, felt that his officer position in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was too low, tried to defect to the Japanese and puppet troops but failed, and was shot in the head by Chu Yunfei in a duel style?

It is said that one of his battalions has a strength of 2,000 soldiers, which is more than a regiment of other national football armies. No wonder he is so worried.

Su Fei saluted again: "I'm sorry, Commander Qian, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. Please forgive me. Now, I will dictate to you the contents of the letter from Captain Li of our New First Regiment!"

After explaining the content, Su Fei introduced that this was the secret writing font of the Eighth Route Army and also a simplified character.

Qian Bojun felt proud and understood the situation. He was very interested in the polite Su Fei: "A clerk from the New 1st Regiment? Polite and cultured. Not bad, not bad!"

He inquired about the location, strength, situation of the New 1st Regiment, and the situation of the Japanese army.

Su Fei was concise and to the point.

The location can be accurately confirmed as Cangyunling, but the troop strength must be exaggerated to prevent the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army from being frightened and afraid to participate in the battle. The enemy situation can also be true so that the 358th Regiment can take appropriate action.

"Haha, the New 1st Regiment can still maintain two-thirds of its combat effectiveness under the pursuit of the Sakata Regiment? Are you kidding me?" Several officers rode over from the other side, wearing neat uniforms, snow-white gloves, and looking very impressive.

The majestic, handsome, and elegant officer in the lead walked towards Su Fei. All the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army stood at attention and saluted: "Commander!"

Regimental commander?

Chu Yunfei?

Have you ever played Lu Bu?

Actor Zhang Guangbei?

Su Fei still admires Chu Yunfei, a professional soldier with national integrity!

"Su Fei, the clerk of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, has been ordered to deliver the handwritten letter from our regiment commander Li Yunlong, and report the enemy situation to your commander Chu Yunfei. Please give your instructions!" Su Fei saluted Chu Yunfei and spoke in a loud voice.

In front of enemies, opponents, or friends, you must show your quality level at the right time to win their respect.

Chu Yunfei was indeed shocked by Su Fei's imposing manner and eloquent speech. This young boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was far superior to the common rustic soldiers around him.

He smiled and waved his hand, asked about the situation, read the letter again, and listened to Qian Bojun's introduction of the so-called Li Yunlong's handwritten letter, which was written in the latest secret font of the Eighth Route Army's literacy class.

"Very interesting! However, they arbitrarily changed the Chinese font, which violates the spirit of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. We need to negotiate in the future! Um, Mr. Su Fei, how did you know our 358th Regiment was here? Don't tell lies! Look into my eyes!"

This guy is really alert.

Su Fei stared at him, his eyes clear and full of admiration: "Commander, I don't know. I was just ordered to deliver a letter. I am just an errand boy and have no right to know more secrets of the regiment."

Just one sentence made Chu Yunfei lose his temper.
