Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

In three days, Su Fei had trained the guerrillas to obey orders and basically regularize them.

It turns out that during the era of Meng Zhanqiang, these people had a certain foundation in military training and technology, which is now being strengthened. At the same time, they are being educated in patriotism and defending the country, eliminating the influence of traitors from their minds and becoming loyal guardians of the country!

Don’t be afraid of hardship or death, serve your country and live on even after death!

Being a traitor is lighter than a feather. Being an Eighth Route Army troop is heavier than Mount Tai!

They also conducted tactical training, disassembled and analyzed Japanese tactics, implemented tactics such as the Fourth Field Army's three-three system, and turned a group of rabble into a powerful army!

Furthermore, Su Fei also strongly urged all villagers to build fortresses in their villages and towns, constructing numerous underground tunnels and trenches. They knew the Japanese and puppet troops would retaliate soon. Once those beasts arrived, it would be a brutal battle. "Our army has guns, but what about the people? They must have shelter, right?"

Su Fei also sent people to Wanjia Town and along the way to strip the uniforms from the bodies of fallen Japanese and puppet soldiers and bring them back to the town, where his concubines would help dye them into camouflage uniforms. This uniform, made of tough fabric and with unique colors, became the official uniform of the Baijia Town guerrillas. Su Fei explained that this was a stealth effect, a way to recycle waste. However, the guerrillas claimed that Mayor Su Fei had cast a spell, harnessing the evil spirits from the enemy corpses to protect us. Camouflage is also a form of Qimen Dunjia! Wearing it might not make us invulnerable, but it would definitely reduce casualties and bring good fortune!

The guerrillas' formations adopted the style of our modern army, with goose-stepping and unified commands. Their appearance was completely new. Furthermore, propaganda on the Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention, along with resounding military songs, excited the guerrillas and boosted their morale. Every day, large numbers of people gathered to watch and praise them, with many eager to join the army and clamoring to be soldiers.

Li Yunlong once brought a few people to inspect and was shocked again!

"Wow, this is even more impressive than the Independent Regiment! The slogans, the military songs, the uniforms—every one of them is amazing! They could totally be a training company!"

Deputy Regimental Commander Kong Jie was amazed: "Quack, quack, they are the best Italian artillery!"

Here comes Wang Chengzhu, the artillery god Zhuzi, the man who defeated Sakata Nobutsu with just three shots. "Captain, Comrade Su Fei's troops are very different from ours!"

Li Yunlong sighed: "Of course, they have a good brain! Much better than us! I can't, I'm old."

Upon hearing the news, Su Fei hurried to greet him and said with a smile, "Captain, no matter what time it is, no matter how the situation changes, no matter how time and space are disturbed, I will always be a soldier under your command, and you are my revolutionary guide."

Li Yunlong was very proud. "I like to hear that. Who is that? Kong Jie? Did you hear that? This is a soldier trained by me, Li Yunlong. Do you have any?"

Kong Jie: "Go away, stop bragging. Xiao Su is the Golden Phoenix of my independent regiment. She was and still is. What does she have to do with the Old Crow of Li Xin's regiment? Hahaha!"

After the bickering, they followed Su Fei, carefully studying the tour, picking up their little notebooks and jotting down their crooked, densely packed notes...

Seven days later, Baijia Town was suddenly surrounded!

Outside the town, all the soldiers are from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!

Infantry, cavalry, artillery, a dazzling array!

Majestic and solemn, be ready for battle!

Su Fei had anticipated the news of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's attack. When he learned that the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion in Wanjia Town was actually a part of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that had fled and defected, he knew that it would not end well, so he sent some people to set up early warning checkpoints, and the warning line extended to ten miles away.

He immediately sent people to ask for help from the independent regiment, and made full preparations for war, hiding all the people in tunnels and pits.

A company of guerrillas has expanded to 200 people.

They transformed the town and used various millstones, stone slabs and trees in the village to build some sturdy and very hidden bunkers where the guerrillas hid.

After confirming that it was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Su Fei decided to go to the meeting alone!

Firstly, this was the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and they tried their best to unite the forces. Secondly, there was no reason at all for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to besiege Baijia Town!

Qian Bojun also sent out spies to learn about the situation in Baijia Town. However, thousands of people in Baijia Town now worship Su Fei and respect him as a god. Su Fei also taught the team members and villagers to keep the secret strictly. How could he tell it to outsiders?

Qian Bojun's knowledge of the military situation was very vague. He didn't even know Su Fei's name. He just knew that the people from Baijia Town had attacked Wanjia Town and robbed the cavalry battalion. His brother-in-law, classmate, and cavalry battalion commander were dead!

He thought that the local bully Meng Zhanqiang had suddenly become ferocious and launched a sneak attack.

After the siege, he was about to send troops in when he felt something was wrong.

The entire town, with a population of several thousand, is usually bustling with people, but today it is unusually quiet. No one ran away, no one screamed, huh?

"People from Baijia Town, come out. If you don't, I'll open fire! I'll blow you to pieces!"

Su Fei walked out.

Everyone dissuaded me.

Several concubines were particularly opposed to it. They had already tacitly regarded Su Fei as their own man and closest relative!

Su Fei has no hesitation!

He rode out of the village on horseback and waved to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Under their guidance, he met Qian Bojun!

"Qian Bojun, battalion commander?" Su Fei was shocked. Isn't this an old acquaintance?

Qian Bojun was also shocked: "You, you are that slick-talking little Eighth Route Army messenger? Why are you here?"

Su Fei smiled faintly and said, "Captain Qian, what are you doing in the guerrilla zone controlled by the Eighth Route Army? I thought you were Japanese puppet troops in disguise coming here to raid."

In one sentence, Qian Bojun became very passive.

He quickly understood.

He quickly became angry and embarrassed.

"Humph, this is clearly the home of the traitor Meng Zhanqiang. Why are you Eighth Route Army soldiers trying to get involved? Our battalion, under the orders of Captain Chu of the 358th Regiment, has come to eliminate this traitorous den in Baijia Town. I hope you Eighth Route Army soldiers won't interfere. Otherwise, this battalion commander will execute you for treason and obstructing the war of resistance!"

Qian Bojun raised his chin, and more than a dozen Shanxi Suiyuan Army guards came over, surrounded Su Fei, and pointed their guns at him.

How could Su Fei be afraid of him?

He recounted the situation of eradicating the traitorous Meng Zhanqiang forces, and said righteously: "Now, this is the territory of the Eighth Route Army, please don't make trouble!"

Qian Bojun's mouth was twisted with anger.

He was in the 358th Regiment, the first main battalion of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's ace main force. There were nearly two thousand people in one battalion, and his status was extremely high!

"Su Fei, you're the combat hero of that independent regiment, the deputy commander, right? Haha, do you think I'm afraid of you? Listen, hand over all the horses and weapons of the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army! They are our prey, and you're taking advantage of us, infringing on the interests of our friendly forces and sabotaging the war of resistance!"

Qian Bojun pulled out his pistol and pressed it against Su Fei's chest.

He made up his mind to plunder Baijia Town and kill Su Fei to avenge his brother-in-law!
