Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei was warmly welcomed.

Regiment Commander Li Yunlong, who were training troops in various places, Deputy Regiment Commander Kong Jie, Political Commissar Zhao Gang who was in a meeting, Chief of Staff Zhang Dabiao, Battalion Commander Shen Quan, Xing Guozhi and others all came back to greet them. Li Yunlong also ordered a goat to be slaughtered as a treat.

Everyone sat together and asked Su Fei to tell the details of the story of how one man scared away a main ace battalion of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Su Fei had to meet everyone's demands and admitted that he had used the empty city plan and his rhetoric to scare away Qian Bojun of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. However, it was a thrilling experience, thanks to Sun Desheng's cavalry company.

Everyone praised him highly, especially Political Commissar Zhao Gang, who praised Su Fei's fighting spirit and flexibility in terms of policies and principles.

Li Yunlong also asked Su Fei to tell the story of that night when he was with more than 30 concubines of Meng Zhanqiang.

Su Fei said this, and everyone gave him a thumbs up.

"Eat meat, eat meat! Captain Xiao Su, you need to nourish yourself more. Goats are hot in nature, so you can use the food immediately if you nourish yourself more. It will be a waste for us bachelors to eat it, hahaha!" Li Yunlong teased him.

Seeing that everyone was laughing non-stop and the atmosphere was very lively, Su Fei softly said a word, and immediately, everyone was shocked!

"Huangya Cave!"

Huh? Many people didn't know and were baffled. However, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, who was at that level, knew and was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Su Fei told everyone that according to the insider reconnaissance of the Japanese and puppet troops who infiltrated Baijia Town, the Japanese army was about to launch a large-scale long-range penetration and decapitation operation against important bases of the Eighth Route Army, such as headquarters and arsenals. He hoped that the independent regiment would report to the superiors immediately and take precautions as soon as possible.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong could no longer sit still, so they ended the dinner, asked Su Fei to finish his meal before leaving, and quickly reported to the 386th Brigade.

Su Fei had no appetite and quickly rushed back to Baijia Town.

If Yamazaki Yehei's battalion really stumbled into the depths of the base area, and multiple teams of the Eighth Route Army paid a heavy price but failed to take it, the tactics of the independent regiment in the world of Bright Sword, which used trenches to approach and throw grenades, would still be clumsy and passive!

At present, the Eighth Route Army's equipment is too poor and its artillery fire is too little. Even if it has some mortars, the shells are small in power and are of the indirect fire type. They cannot be aimed directly and are ineffective in the face of the enemy's strong fortifications.

He had to develop new weapons as quickly as possible to defeat the Japanese Yamazaki Battalion in one fell swoop!

Unfortunately, a dozen or so personnel from the arsenal showed the cast iron mortar blank with many honeycomb holes on their faces with guilt.

"Don't be discouraged, you've done well."

If the quality of the raw iron is not good, then look for good steel raw materials.

Under Su Fei's inspiration and leadership, they quickly found some materials.

One type is track steel, which was removed from the railway tracks. There is no railway nearby, and someone must have stolen it in the past and ended up in Meng Zhanqiang's home. One type is a hoe steel chisel of good quality, and one type is a gasoline barrel seized from Wanjia Town.

First, the gasoline barrel.

This thing is too big, and the explosive package needed to be launched is too big. Moreover, the propellant is also huge and cannot be used at all. We can only reduce the caliber, burn the charcoal fire fiercely, and then process it to reduce it to one third.

The gasoline barrels are from North America. They are strategic materials imported by the Japanese army from there. The steel is flexible and very superior.

Under Su Fei's guidance, everyone quickly developed five thin steel mortars a few days later.

Then they used steel to cast again. After many failed experiments, they finally cast ten thick steel mortars with heavy barrels.

Specifically for the Battle of Lijiaopo, to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Yamazaki Battalion!

The gunpowder from Baijia Town was packaged and processed professionally and targeted to make ten explosive shells!

clap clap.

Set off firecrackers?

Su Fei and the staff of the military factory looked up in surprise and soon found that it was gunfire.

"Mayor, it's the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army is coming!" someone reported.

Looking for death!

Su Fei immediately ordered everyone to draw their pistols, carry rifles, and head east of the town.

At least one company of the Imperial Army, urged by a dozen Japanese soldiers, rushed over from all over the mountains and fields, shooting and charging, and soon reached within fifty meters of the edge of Baijia Town.

Su Fei commanded the soldiers to enter the bunkers and trenches and shoot at the enemy.

The enemy's attack was so fierce and it was a surprise attack, which the Baijia Town guerrillas had never seen before. If it weren't for the bunkers, trenches and shelters, it would have been difficult to deal with.

In particular, the Japanese army's mortar, light machine gun, and grenade launcher, bombing and strafing, made the Baijia Town guerrillas unable to withstand it at all, and they had to retreat into bunkers and trenches.

Su Fei commanded all the villagers to take refuge in the tunnels, and dispatched surveillance sentries and troops in other directions, with the main battle force being the east side of the town.

After suffering some casualties, the Japanese and puppet troops, under the cover of firepower, broke through from multiple directions and entered the town.

The Baijia Town guerrillas gradually calmed down from their panic, resisted in different areas, used tunnels to move, and cleverly attacked the enemy.

The Japanese mortars and grenade launchers gradually ran out of ammunition and their firepower weakened, but the Japanese still had the upper hand by utilizing their precision shooting and grenade throwing capabilities.

Haha, you little Japs, you traitors, you are digging your own graves if you dare to launch a sneak attack!

Su Fei led the soldiers, using the tunnels, constantly coming out to observe and suddenly attack the enemy.

The tunnel had many entrances and exits, and was very well hidden, killing and wounding many Japanese and puppet troops.

After half an hour of fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops refused to retreat, occupying five or six courtyards on the east side of the town, fighting to the death. It is very likely that they had already called for reinforcements.

Su Fei's guerrillas and militia launched several attacks but were repelled each time, suffering many casualties.

Moreover, the Japanese and puppet troops also discovered the tunnels in these places and refused to leave like a dog-skin plaster.

Su Fei's troops captured several prisoners. After interrogation, they found out that they were an infantry detachment of the Yamazaki Battalion, commanding a puppet army infantry company. They launched a raid in order to avenge the defeat and death of the county commander Xiaolin.

In the county town, the vanguard of the Japanese army has entered! Colonel Yamamoto has changed his position, and the Japanese army's large-scale long-range penetration attack is about to begin.

Su Fei must eliminate the enemies in the town as soon as possible.

The enemy's combat skills are very advanced, and the Baijia Town guerrillas can basically not get within 50 meters of the enemy!

The enemy has quick reactions and good marksmanship, and the guerrillas' street fighting capabilities are no match during the day.

There is only one way!

Su Fei dispatched 20 soldiers and 30 militiamen back to the military factory and quickly pushed the flying thunder cannon to the courtyard 80 meters away. After observation and positioning, digging holes and adjustments, he fired all the shells at that place.

The earth roared and thunder rumbled.

The houses in the south collapsed one after another!

After the bombing, Su Fei sent people to search and investigate. About 80 Japanese and puppet troops were either dead or injured, and some were unconscious!

Thanks to the Flying Thunder Cannon.

87 enemy rifles, 21 pistols, one machine gun, one mortar and one grenade launcher, and a batch of bullets were seized.

Even though we won, Su Fei couldn't swallow this humiliation. He would be a coward if he didn't take revenge. We must counterattack the Japanese army and seize the precious explosives!
