Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

It’s so refreshing!

In the firelight, the Japanese soldiers fell down like wheat being cut, rolling down the hillside, from the top of the mountain and the hillside, all the way to the foot of the mountain. They were not penetrated by bullets or killed by blasting tubes, but were stabbed half to death by the rocks on the hillside and a kind of thorny weeds that grew close to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang, the Japanese soldiers' heads were like exploding watermelons, one after another!

In order to see the enemy's specific position and the direction of escape, Su Fei had already prepared tools for night combat. He lit some rolled-up straw and threw it down. The fire illuminated the Japanese army's hidden position and the direction of their rolling, guiding our firepower.

After the Japanese soldiers who managed to survive rolled down, the people on the top of the mountain stopped shooting.

According to estimates, this time, more than 400 Japanese soldiers were killed and more than 100 were injured.

Only one person in Su Fei's army was injured.

After the retreat, the Japanese troops were furious and gathered together immediately.

The Japanese army was organized in a warlord-style system. Each brigade, regiment, and battalion within a division was composed of people from the same region, with a strong sense of local identity, resulting in strong internal cohesion. Eager to seek revenge after their crushing defeat, the Japanese immediately ordered the Imperial Army to act as cannon fodder. They supervised the battle at the foot of the mountain while carefully preparing to suppress the enemy with firepower.

They no longer had any hope in Lieutenant Colonel Higashino, Major Tsuruta, Captain Kimura and others, so they let go.

Infantry guns, mountain guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, machine guns, heavy machine guns, etc. all looked for suitable locations, adjusted their angles, and aimed at the top of the mountain.

Several giant searchlights also opened their light curtains, illuminating the charging hillside and covering Su Fei's troops on the top of the mountain!

The strong light curtain made Su Fei's troops on the top of the mountain unable to open their eyes.

It doesn't matter. Su Fei and others can determine the enemy's position and distance based on the shouts of the charging enemy. If that doesn't work, let the enemy charge to the top of the mountain. Most people will hide in the tunnels, and a few will bombard with blasting tubes and grenades. This tactic of burning everything to death will prevent the enemy from gaining a foothold!

The soldiers from Baijia Town who followed Su Fei had gone through many battles and had become indifferent to life and death, without any psychological pressure.

Just as the Japanese army organized themselves, elected a commander, and assembled their artillery, someone suddenly appeared and patted them on the shoulder. "Drafting? Aren't you busy? Making trouble? Turn around and see who's that brat... Ah!

Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao, a fierce general of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, led his troops out from their hiding place. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese and puppet troops, they quietly infiltrated the Japanese army. In order to use artillery fire, the Japanese army also continued to use flashlights. Now, the large searchlight was pointing to the slope of Lijiaopo. It was bright outside, but it was very dark under the light and behind him, making the cadres and soldiers of Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao very invisible.

Zhang Dabiao and the cadres and soldiers dug individual pits and some caves in hiding, using the darkness to hide. They saw and heard the battle on the top of the mountain, and were so excited that their blood boiled!

They all have a strong competitive spirit!

The soldiers in Baijia Town are militia. They are so strong!

We are the Eighth Route Army's ace team, the Independent Regiment!

Zhang Dabiao is an expert with a knife, known as Zhang Lao Hu. If he can't even beat the militiamen of Baijia Town, isn't that shameful?

Zhang Dabiao taught the cadres and soldiers how to sneak attack the enemy, how to use knives, how to prevent the enemy from making any sound, and how to identify friend or foe in the dark.

Pat the enemy's shoulder, and the enemy will instinctively turn around, revealing his throat. Poke the enemy's throat with a Japanese saber, tilt it and pull it directly, and the enemy's throat will be completely cut off on the side!

After cutting it, trip the enemy and knock him down, then the next one!

Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao's troops, in groups of three or five, charged into the Japanese army without saying a word, and attacked with all their might, like a fierce tiger!

The Japs fell one after another in the darkness, silently.

More than 1,100 Japanese soldiers gathered at the foot of the mountain were chopped to pieces by Zhang Dabiao's battalion in just three minutes!

The difficulty is not in killing people, but in identifying and finding the enemy.

They used the Japanese army's daily language, for example, "Bageyalu", deliberately prolonging the last syllable and raising it upwards, which was a code that could paralyze the Japanese army that had not yet noticed, and also allow for self-identification.

Some soldiers also knew more complex Japanese and shouted into the darkness. Once the enemy reacted, they would rush over!

Finally, a dozen or so Japanese soldiers became alert and shouted questions. As a result, they attracted the angry revenge of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. They were killed by a burst of gunfire and slandered as the Eighth Route Army soldiers: "Bageyalu - huh? You are just local Eighth Route Army soldiers!"

Then, some soldiers were on guard against external attacks and the surroundings, while some soldiers, under the leadership of the artillery platoon leader Zhuzi, quickly used artillery fire. Anyway, the enemy had already adjusted themselves. Zhuzi calculated it by comparing his thumbs and ordered everyone to lower the muzzles of their guns and aim at the hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers who were slowly climbing up the hillside, waiting for orders and charging at the risk of their lives.

Woo, boom boom boom.

Mountain artillery, infantry guns, 37mm anti-tank guns, 25mm machine guns, 20mm machine guns, and mortars bombarded the Imperial Army.

Suddenly the earth shook.

Especially the firing of machine guns, which was extremely fast and powerful. The Imperial Army fell like leaves in the wind!

Zhuzi, the artillery soldiers, the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao and others were all overjoyed.

If the independent regiment had this kind of artillery fire, would it still need guerrilla warfare?

Just confront it directly.

If it weren't for the fierce Japanese artillery fire, could the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and tens of thousands of other troops have been attacked from both inside and outside by more than 3,000 people and ended up in such a mess?

At another hidden location a few hundred meters away, the brigade commander and others were worried, not knowing whether the night attack would be successful. It was a pain to risk the strength of an entire main battalion.

However, from the battle on the top of the mountain, they understood that Su Fei had succeeded.

come on! Come on!

Everyone was silently cheering for the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle.

When Su Fei heard the loud explosion, he thought it had hit the top of the mountain. But when he confirmed that it had hit the enemy on the hillside, he understood. "Let's rest. The battle alert has been lifted!"

When most of the Imperial Army suffered casualties and fled back, the infantry of Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao intercepted them with firepower and sent a large number of traitors to their deaths.

In the darkness, hundreds of the Imperial Army broke through the encirclement and escaped.

There were also Japanese and puppet army security and reconnaissance units on the periphery. Upon hearing the news, they also fled together. However, they did not run far before they were tripped by ropes in the darkness, stunned by sticks, and their legs were broken. They fell to the ground, were pinned down, and became prisoners.

That was other teams of the 386th Brigade encircling the outside.

After dawn, Su Fei led his troops out to search and clean up the battlefield, and captured many wounded Japanese and puppet troops.

The brigade commander went up the mountain. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others arrived and surrounded him, excitedly beating him up: "Su Fei, you kid, haha, you have done a great deed, a great deed!"
