Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei led the soldiers in formation to greet the Japanese army, and took the initiative to lead them to the body of Major Yamazaki Yeping: "Ha Yi, please look."

More than 80 Japanese officers and soldiers were busy carrying supplies over, and then lined up, led by Lieutenant Colonel Higashino, Major Tsuruta, and Captain Kimura, to pay their respects to the remains of Major Yamazaki.

Fully armed, carrying a saber, wearing snow-white gloves, with the flesh on his face trembling slightly and his eyes lowered, he looked at the body of Major Yamazaki in the circle of light illuminated by the flashlight of Su Fei's soldiers, and bowed together to mourn.

At this time, several soldiers of the Su Fei Army used the flashlights captured from the Japanese army to illuminate the ranks of the Japanese soldiers, and kindly directed them to line up in a row to reduce the length and distance.

This place was in a trench dug on the top of Lijiaopo Mountain. The Japanese soldiers below the mountain could hear faint sounds and see the light from flashlights, but they could not see anything inside.

Su Fei had already had a brief conversation with the Japanese military officers and learned their names, unit numbers, and main troop strengths. In name, he was worried about insufficient troops and being surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, but in fact, he wanted to obtain first-hand information about the enemy.

There were 800 Japanese soldiers in one group, and the other two groups consisted of 3 squadrons, which should be more than 500 people. Together, there were less than 2000 Japanese soldiers. Together with more than a thousand Imperial Army soldiers, the total force was not large.

However, the equipment of these more than 2,000 Japanese troops was far stronger than that of the tens of thousands of troops in the 386th Brigade. They had stronger firepower, more artillery fire, sufficient ammunition, and with the support of aircraft, they were indeed not something the Eighth Route Army could stop.

If these Japanese troops were unable to break the siege, or were surrounded, they could exploit the advantages of their semi-mechanized units, using trucks and horses to quickly mobilize more troops. Their superior firepower and mobility were the military roots of their ability to crush the Eighth Route Army.

Indignant, Su Fei ordered his soldiers to line up behind the Japanese army and shouted, "Kill them!"

With a wave of his hand and a slash of the knife, whoosh, puff, the head of Lieutenant Colonel Higashino, the highest-ranking Japanese soldier on the scene who was closest to Su Fei, rolled down, and a cloud of hot blood mist shot out from the wound on his neck!

At the moment when several soldiers shone their flashlights for assistance, the other soldiers acted together and stabbed the Japanese soldiers in the back with bayonets!

On average, two soldiers killed one Japanese soldier.

The attack was completed in an instant. The Japanese army was bowing their heads to mourn their Captain Yamazaki when they suddenly felt a cold mountain breeze blowing into their heart. The blood in their body suddenly coagulated and they felt unbearable pain. They wanted to turn around to watch and fight back in shock and anger, but they collapsed sideways limply.

Su Fei's soldiers twisted their wrists to make the bayonets penetrate deeper into the enemy's body, and stirred them repeatedly to completely destroy the enemy's heart.

With almost no sound, 70 Japanese soldiers, more than 10 officers and entourage were wiped out!

"Mayor, what we are doing is not very decent." The two platoon leaders questioned Su Fei nervously.

We Chinese are kind-hearted and very moral!

Including the Eighth Route Army, no one was ashamed of using this method to attack the enemy.

Su Fei smiled faintly: "For these Japanese devils, killing them in any way is not excessive!"

After quickly making arrangements, Su Fei led a few soldiers and shouted to the mountain below, "Lieutenant Colonel Higashino and Major Tsuruta order all officers above the rank of second lieutenant, including corporals and sergeants, to gather on the mountain to pay their respects to Major Yamazaki's remains."

Su Fei's Japanese has become proficient and Japanese-sounding these days, and he has put in some effort. Now, he doesn't have much hope of fooling another group of dead souls.

Let’s try it first to see if there are any stupid Japanese dates.

After shouting a few times, Su Fei's soldiers were ready for battle. Once the Japanese army attacked, everyone would fight back bravely. They immediately shared the canned food, drinking water, biscuits, rice balls, etc. sent by the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese arrived soon.

The officers lined up and went up the mountain. When they reached the top, a few meters away, Su Fei sent soldiers to shine flashlights, ostensibly to help the Japanese soldiers see the road clearly, but actually to indicate the target.

Su Fei was so confused that he was trembling all over. He was so surprised.

Within ten minutes, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers came in an orderly and black mass. All of them carried Japanese swords, had serious expressions, and were very arrogant. It was obvious that they were grassroots officers who liked to show off!

These Japanese troops are the strongest backbone force.

Su Fei shouted excitedly and personally took control of a light machine gun, firing at the enemy.

All the soldiers fired together.

The Japanese soldiers were instantly mowed down in rows and pieces. Some of them suddenly came to their senses, shouted loudly, rolled on the ground, and drew their swords and guns to resist.

However, under the fire of eight machine guns, more than twenty Mauser pistols, and dozens of rifles, the Japanese army's resistance was meaningless. They convulsed, wailed, and rolled down the mountain.

The flashlights illuminated the Japanese officers. Even though they died, most of them had no idea what had happened on the top of the mountain. They died in confusion and looked cowardly!

The Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain became agitated.

The scene in the light was so numerous that some of them saw it and immediately shouted loudly. The Japanese hesitated for a moment, then lined up and charged to the top of the mountain: "Kill! Our officers have been killed by the enemy! There are enemies on the mountain!"

There were also many stubborn people who thought that they were from the Yamazaki Battalion and had conflicts with their officers, leading to internal strife.

In the chaos, the Japanese army spontaneously rushed up the mountain, shouting as they charged.

Without the command and organization of junior officers such as sergeants and sergeants, the Japanese army's formation was disorganized and chaotic.

They swarmed all over the mountains and plains like a swarm of bees.

There was no one to order the use of artillery fire to suppress the attack!

Su Fei and others killed the enemy officers and quickly entered the fortifications and trenches, including some bunkers built with stone slabs and wooden boards. Some Japanese soldiers suggested using mortars and mountain artillery to attack, but were stopped.

"Shut up, do you want to kill Lieutenant Colonel Higano?"

The change happened suddenly and the Japanese army was in chaos!

Hearing the noisy, chaotic and dense shouting, Su Fei and others risked using flashlights to shine below, and found that it was a black mass of Japanese soldiers, charging like a raging wave!

Turned off the lights immediately.

The light is too dim!

Failure to clear the enemy's vision, but instead exposed their own targets, sure enough, the Japanese began shooting and intimidation: "People from the Yamazaki Battalion, are you crazy?" "Come down and be judged!"

Su Fei listened, and when the enemy approached the top of the mountain, he immediately gave the order to ignite a new weapon and throw it out. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. It was a blasting tube made by traditional methods!

I'm reluctant to use the captured grenades!

More than thirty long explosive tubes, ignited using the most primitive method, were thrown out, rolling down the hillside, and when the delay was up, they exploded among the Japanese troops.

Countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and they were howling like ghosts.

The machine gun roared, firing! Grenades were also thrown towards the enemy where the noise was the loudest, finishing off the enemy!
