Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Just as the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army retreated, a cloud of dust rose from the southwest. A moment later, more than a hundred horses and more than a hundred elite Eighth Route Army soldiers and the cavalry company of the independent regiment arrived!

Su Fei came out to contact immediately.

Cavalry Company Commander Sun Desheng!

He was plain-looking, with a rather stiff expression. He was of medium to short height, not at all muscular, with a short, sparse beard, narrow eyes that looked down upon the common people, and a neck that stiffened when he spoke, revealing a rebelliousness, fearlessness, and stubbornness that could be ignited at the slightest spark.

Facing the most tragic hero in the world of Bright Sword, Su Fei respectfully saluted: "Su Fei, a former soldier of the New 1st Regiment and now a soldier of the Independent Regiment, warmly welcomes Captain Sun to come and give us guidance. It is a great honor!"

"Fuck, RNNND..."

Sun Desheng hurriedly jumped off his horse, turned around and asked the cavalry company soldiers to dismount and rest, and saluted Su Fei at attention: "Commander, thank you for your hard work. Commander, you are the deputy regiment commander and I am the company commander. You saluted me just now, which was really embarrassing for me!"

"Commander, the two people I admire most right now are our regimental commander and you! I didn't know you in the New 1st Regiment, but now I've heard so many of your heroic deeds that I can't believe it. This time, the regimental commander asked me to rush to Baijia Town to provide assistance, and I rushed over. Hehehe. Commander, you're so young!"

Sun Desheng's politeness made Su Fei feel embarrassed, and he quickly reported what happened today when he persuaded Qian Bojun, a main battalion of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, to retreat.

"What? A battalion of 2,000 Shanxi-Suiyuan troops? With artillery and cavalry? Damn, they must be Chu Yunfei's soldiers from the 358th Regiment. I believe it, I've seen them. Commander, you're awesome! You scared off 2,000 Shanxi-Suiyuan troops by yourself! You're the mighty Zhang Fei! With one roar on Dangyang Bridge, a million Cao troops turned into wild dogs! I admire you so much!"

Sun Desheng brought with him strong underworld habits and the rhetoric of the Kuomintang.

Su Fei invited him to Baijia Town to review his troops. All the troops lined up, and he also invited Sun Desheng to give guidance and training to his troops.

Sun Desheng was not polite either. After a very generous inspection, he proposed many areas for improvement.

That’s true, Sun Desheng is really a good instructor and a good leader!

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Fei invited the cavalry company to come into the town for food and water, but was rejected. Sun Desheng wanted to return to the independent regiment immediately.

Su Fei felt very sorry and decided to give some gift in return.

"Captain Sun, I'd like to give you a cavalry sword. Please accept it!"

At Su Fei's command, soldiers from Baijia Town went to get the things.

Sun Desheng smiled, pulled out his own cavalry sword and couldn't put it down. He disdained Su Fei's gift, "Young Chief, there's no need for that, right? This is the best, the Japanese Type 32 Meiji A-type cavalry sword. The blade is 83.6 cm long and the whole blade is 100.2 cm long. The guard has a leather finger ring, a curved guard, and the front two-thirds of the blade is sharp. It's light and flexible, and has amazing killing power. It's more powerful than the swords of the Northwest Army, the Ma Family Army, the Soviet Army, and the British and American armies."

The soldier came with a saber. It was sent by the seventh concubine and two female soldiers. Su Fei took it and handed it to Sun Desheng.

Sun Desheng drew his saber suspiciously and was immediately attracted to it. He tried to use it in an air chop and suddenly became extremely excited. He bowed to Su Fei and said, "Thank you very much, young commander. What a good sword! The blade is five centimeters longer, an inch longer and an inch stronger, suitable for our Chinese soldiers. Secondly, the blade back is thinner and lighter, making it more powerful to use. Thirdly, the hand guard is larger to protect the fingers! Young commander, what kind of sword is this? Where did you get it? Who made it? Can I have a few dozen more?"

Su Fei smiled: "This is the Snow Maple Knife. I'm only trying to make a few of them now!"

Sun Desheng was fascinated: "Xuefeng Knife? What a great name!"

Su Fei explained, "Of course it's a good name. 'Xue Feng Dao', 'Xue' for white snow, 'Feng' for maple leaf, meaning it reflects the sunlight, shining like silver snow, and kills the enemy like blood-red maple leaves! Or to put it simply, 'white knife in, red knife out!' It's a test of ruthlessness!"

He could not say that it was invented by a division commander of the New Fourth Army, because at present, he might not have developed it yet, so he could only misinterpret it.

Sun Desheng praised repeatedly, whistled, jumped onto the horse's back, galloped freely, and jumped off the horse with great pride. He thanked Su Fei again and asked Su Fei to make more snow maple swords. He was willing to give Su Fei several old cavalry instructors to help Baijia Town train the cavalry troops.

it is good!

This is exactly what Su Fei wanted!

He must quickly organize and develop a cavalry unit that is stronger and more numerous than Sun Desheng's cavalry company. In the future, in times of crisis, he must save the independent regiment's cavalry company and allow this tragic hero, who dared to draw his sword and fight to the death, to turn defeat into victory and become a dazzling star in the world of the anti-Japanese war elite...

After a while, the cavalry company sounded the bugle calls, quickly assembled, and swept away like a whirlwind.

Su Fei didn't know that when Sun Desheng returned to report, he praised Su Fei to the sky. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and others were also extremely surprised and praised him generously.

"Yes, Comrade Su Fei is amazing. He is brave, resourceful, and well-reasoned. He was able to scare off two thousand Jinsui troops by himself. He is definitely a rare talent!"

"More than just talent?"

"I also understand military industry!"

……

Su Fei has a lot of work to do, but the most urgent thing is: the Japanese army's Yamazaki Yehei unit is about to launch a surprise attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal in the rear of the Eighth Route Army, causing serious damage. From now on, everything is to assist the Eighth Route Army in eliminating the Yamazaki Yehei Battalion.

The cavalry squad was officially established and soldiers and officers were strictly selected for training.

It was announced that an artillery squad would be established to increase the number of artillery pieces and ammunition as quickly as possible and enhance the capability of precise artillery fire.

It was announced that an arsenal would be established to forge snow maple swords and cast flying thunder cannons.

It was announced that a policy of universal military service would be implemented in Baijia Town. During the day, the soldiers would do farm work to make a living, and at night they would dig a network of trenches and tunnels connecting the entire village, forging an underground fortress that could protect the elderly, the weak, women and children of the entire town, making the town invincible.

In the future, Baijia Town will become the number one town in the world!

The Baijia Town guerrillas will become the most powerful armed force in China, and no one will dare to bully us!

With strong soldiers and brave generals, we can fight and deal with the Japs, puppet troops, Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, bandits and other forces without worry, and seize their weapons, ammunition, horses, food, gold, silver and treasures, and divide them equally among all the villagers!

Clap, clap! More than 200 soldiers and 3,000 townspeople applauded enthusiastically!

……

They started working that night, and within ten days, all four policies planned by Su Fei were implemented. The underground of the entire village was dug through, forming a crisscrossing tunnel system with ingenious design and free advance and retreat.

Under Su Fei's personal command, an arsenal was established, and attempts were made to forge the Snow Maple Blade and an ultra-large caliber mortar. Although unsuccessful, lessons learned and technical data were accumulated. Cavalry squad training was back on track, and the artillery squad, equipped with two captured mortars, focused on improving their precision fire capabilities.

Su Fei also sent people to the county town and the Japanese and puppet army strongholds east of the county town to investigate and spy on military intelligence. When he learned that the Japanese army was withdrawing on a large scale, he immediately became alert!

Are Japanese troops shrinking massively in the confrontation area?

The Japanese army has always been cunning in combat. Before withdrawing, they always suddenly launch a fierce attack, stun the national army, and then suddenly turn around and retreat, escaping safely. If it is before an attack, there is often the silence before a big battle, deliberately showing weakness and shrinking troops!

It seems that the Japanese army's large-scale mopping-up attack on our base is imminent!

Su Fei immediately mounted his warhorse and rushed back to the independent regiment's base.
