Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Along the way, the Seventh Concubine's watery eyes kept looking at Su Fei, but she was afraid that Su Fei would see her, so she repeatedly lifted her bangs with her hands.

Very pure and innocent.

Su Fei was in a good mood and enthusiastically asked the people from Baijia Town who were accompanying him about the disputes between the four families of Meng, Bai, Zhang and Wang, their farming affairs, family matters, their opinions on the future of Baijia Town, etc.

This is research.

When Su Fei was busy preparing to set up the Baijia Town Special Forces Camp, he didn't know that behind the scenes, Political Commissar Zhao Gang was in a heavy mood.

He admired Su Fei's talent and courage, but this man was too special and outstanding, so there were many suspicious things about him. He accurately ambushed Yamamoto's advance team, captured Hanzhuang and Xiaolizhuang strongholds with zero casualties, and cleverly used the power of Baijia Town to easily defeat the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion in Wanjia Town. He gave people the feeling that he was assisted by God and could predict the future beyond imagination!

He was worried that this was a major conspiracy of the Japanese and puppet troops. They would send a super undercover agent to infiltrate the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment at a huge cost, and then infiltrate the brigade headquarters, division headquarters, and headquarters. By then, the harm would be too great!

At the same time, he was also worried that if Su Fei didn't have an enemy background, he might be seduced by the Meng family's honey trap in Baijia Town and truly leave the Eighth Route Army. That would be a loss of both a son-in-law and an army...

What Su Fei didn't know was that the Japanese army was experiencing an unprecedented crisis because of him.

Captain Kobayashi, the commander of the Japanese garrison in the county, was punished by his superiors by being dismissed and investigated because he lost the Wanjia Town Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion and the reinforcements he led were severely damaged. Unwilling to accept the humiliation, Kobayashi committed suicide by disembowelment.

The commander and chief of staff of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army was tortured to death by the Japanese army for a military error. His wife and daughter were taken away and used as comfort women. All the officers of the Imperial Army trembled in fear.

Colonel Yamamoto Ikki, who was stationed at the Hanzhuang stronghold for training, was very upset.

He contacted the county repeatedly by phone before he found out what had happened and he was so regretful that he stamped his feet.

When Captain Kobayashi called from the county seat, asking on behalf of Baijia Town Mayor Meng Zhanqiang whether a man named Zhu Ziming was his insider, he was baffled, thinking he'd been severely insulted. "I, Colonel Yamamoto Ikki, need an insider?" Ugh!

Moreover, because he was being affectionate with a specially invited Japanese geisha, he was very impatient and deliberately hummed and hawed to get by.

Damn, I regret it!

He led the newly formed special forces, secretly left the Hanzhuang stronghold, went to the county town, and asked Lieutenant General Yoshio Kozuka, commander of the First Army stationed in Taiyuan City, to become the direct commander of the county town.

He evacuated all the Japanese and puppet army strongholds bordering the Eighth Route Army base to the east of the county seat, feigning defeat to paralyze the Independent Regiment. At the same time, he intensified the training of his troops: "My biggest mistake was acting impulsively. I actually tangled with a regimental unit of the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses. I was really blinded by the trees and missed the big picture! From now on, I must fully investigate and spy on the intelligence and location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters! Besides, I really need a strong insider!"

Someone sent a secret letter, willing to be an insider and kill Su Fei!

Colonel Yamamoto was immediately delighted and called over the Imperial Army platoon leader and two special forces soldiers, "Luo Sang, contact the messenger from Baijia Town, Kuroda Jiro and Sabei Yuichi, and go and assassinate someone!"

What Su Fei didn't know was that Qian Bojun, the main battalion commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, was sharpening his knife and had already decided to kill him!

The commander of the cavalry battalion of the Imperial Army in Wanjia Town was his classmate, good friend, and brother-in-law!

……

After returning to Baijia Town, Su Fei immediately took out a list of appointments and asked everyone to discuss it.

The Baijia Town militia was renamed the Anti-Japanese Militia Guerrilla Force and was organized into a company with Su Fei as the company commander and four chiefs of staff. The command center consisted of one person from each of the Meng, Bai, Zhang, and Wang families, who decided on daily military and administrative affairs. It was composed of three infantry platoons and one guard platoon, with one person from each of the four families forming a group according to clan relations.

The company was organized into small units, requiring a streamlined army and simple administration. The autumn harvest season was approaching, and a large number of personnel were needed. Military training could not compete with agricultural labor. The small size also provided room for selection.

The matter was resolved quickly and everyone was satisfied.

After more than 60 soldiers were released, all the family members of the four families came to Su Fei and kowtowed in unison: "Uncle Su, you saved our lives, and we will never forget you!"

The old man from the Meng family, whose two children were among the captives, kowtowed nine times to Su Fei and burst into tears, "Bodhisattva, living Bodhisattva, I will make an immortality tablet for you."

Su Fei was going to live in the town's township government office and was invited by several elders of the Meng family to marry into their family. To put it bluntly, Su Fei was to inherit all of Meng Zhanqiang's property, wives, concubines, and status.

"Mayor Su, please give me a favor!" Several leaders of the Meng family, who were wearing purple satin gowns with star patterns and melon-shaped hats, begged bitterly.

The Meng family suffered heavy losses in this incident. The iron-fisted tyrant Meng Zhanqiang cancelled their household registration, and their most capable brother Meng Zhanfa was captured by the Eighth Route Army, leaving them humiliated. In their revenge against the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion in Wanjia Town, they lost dozens of men. Their strength was now weaker than that of the Bai family and equal to that of the Zhang and Wang families.

The Meng family was even more worried that the Japanese army and the Imperial Army would retaliate and wipe out the Meng family.

Su Fei was also worried that when the Japanese and puppet troops retaliated, he would run away, and the Eighth Route Army would not help him because their family members had been killed before.

Now, the Meng family has offended everyone they can!

Then we must find someone to protect the Meng family.

They also discovered that the Seventh Concubine was very active and interested in Su Fei. If she seduced Su Fei away, it would be disastrous.

She was Meng Zhanqiang's father's seventh concubine, an elder. By marrying Su Fei, wouldn't that be putting the blame on Old Master Meng? Wouldn't that make Su Fei an elder of the Meng family? She had to call him uncle or uncle when they met, and she had to kneel down during Spring Festival greetings!

She is the daughter of the Bai family. If she were to be with Su Fei, wouldn't the Bai family use their influence to crush the Meng family?

She is so beautiful, fierce and cunning, she is simply the White Bone Demon!

In order to get Su Fei to agree, they all knelt down, crying and snotting, and swore that if Su Fei did not agree, they would not get up from their knees.

For the first time, Su Fei felt that Zhao Kuangyin in history was forced to wear the yellow robe!

In our modern society, if the good young people and veterans do not care about the people's concerns, can we be worthy of the people?

Seeing that Su Fei agreed, the Meng family danced with joy.

A grand ceremony was held, and they went to the Meng family ancestral hall to burn incense and offer sacrifices. All the men and children of the Meng family came out. After the worship, they recognized their ancestors. Several old men of higher generations stood in a row and asked Su Fei to kowtow to recognize his rank. Each of them gave Su Fei a big red envelope.

The rest of the Meng family members of the same generation or younger generations all knelt down and kowtowed to Su Fei.

In order to prevent Su Fei from changing his mind, they agreed that Su Fei would be written as Meng Fei in the ancestral hall, but still be called Su Fei in other places, without having to change his surname.

The second big thing is entering the bridal chamber!

Soon, two kind-looking women dragged Su Fei to a place with a familiar mansion and unfamiliar rooms. A circle of 30 or so young women in silk cheongsams or classical bridal gowns bowed to him.
