Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

In Hanlue Village, an inconspicuous small mountain village, scouts discovered signs of Japanese military activities.

Some civilians also said that several Japanese cavalrymen came to investigate three times in a row and then left.

The battalion and company commanders suggested sending a small force immediately to test the waters, with the rest of the troops following behind. If the Japanese took the bait and tried to devour our small force, our main force would advance, pin down that little Japanese bastard with five fingers, and kill him!

Su Fei was very proud. The soldiers from Baijia Town who followed him out were more cunning than the other!

However, Su Fei sensed a problem. The Japanese cavalry conducted three reconnaissance missions, indicating that they took the matter very seriously. So, what would they take seriously?

Large troop passage?

No, if that happened, the Japanese scouts would stay behind, or send infantry to ambush and guard!

The only possibility is that a small Japanese force is about to pass through here, but the nature of this force is very important!

Officers battlefield observation group!

Su Fei was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Climb to a high place, observe from afar, and immediately order an ambush!

The passage to the mountain village is very narrow, so ambushes must be arranged on the mountains on both sides. However, in the world of Bright Sword, Li Yunlong's troops still fought for a long time, which did not meet Su Fei's requirements for a blitzkrieg!

The shorter the time, the more accurate and concentrated the firepower, and the more casualties can be minimized. Although Li Yunlong is a brave general, he obviously has a low cultural level and no sense of calculation!

It’s not cruel enough.

Su Fei gave the order and a small number of soldiers used Mauser pistols to hide at the foot of the mountain.

There are many caves dug by rural people on the mountain road. They are very shallow and cannot hide people at all.

Su Fei ordered more than twenty soldiers to quickly dig a curved cave to hide in. Although this was very dangerous, there was nothing unusual on the surface. The Japanese army had already investigated it, so they would not take it too seriously!

These soldiers changed into Japanese military uniforms!

After everything was arranged, Su Fei personally led more than 20 soldiers to set up three light machine guns. They dug individual pits on both sides of the mountain road 300 meters south of Hanlue Village. They covered them with wooden boards, which were covered with soil. There was only an observation hole and a shooting hole in the front.

Su Fei had no idea whether the Japanese battlefield tour group would come or when they would arrive, so he closed his eyes and rested.

Suddenly, I felt the earth shaking and some sounds.

Japanese cavalry and trucks!

More than ten minutes later, Su Fei's troops on both sides of the mountain road fired fiercely, threw grenades and blasting tubes, cutting off the escape route of the Japanese rear guard and killing a large number of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers rushed forward in panic. Su Fei and others suddenly jumped up from the ground and fired fiercely with machine guns, knocking down the enemy's trucks and cavalry.

Su Fei's soldiers who were lurking in the cave below the mountain road found that a large number of Japanese soldiers were entering the cave, trying to find shelter. So they rushed out and fired a burst of Mauser pistol fire. The Japanese soldiers were either killed or wounded. The Japanese machine gunners and mortar soldiers who were resisting the upward fire outside were all killed by the soldiers who suddenly appeared beside them!

The battle lasted less than three minutes, and the Japanese combat troops were completely wiped out. In the end, only five Japanese officers were left, one of whom was a major general.

Su Fei led his troops forward and threatened the Japanese major general, who waved his saber and demanded a duel with Su Fei.

What's the point of dueling? Su Fei is not Li Yunlong, who likes personal heroism and adventure!

A few shots broke the legs of all the Japanese officers below the rank of major general, and then they shot at their right wrists, making them disabled!

Take him away, he's a prisoner!

It's a very face-enhancing thing. If you sell it to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, you can make a lot of money!

Su Fei was very satisfied with the battle's end. With only two casualties and six wounded, they had wiped out over 160 Japanese troops and captured eight officer-level swords, eight machine guns, nine grenade launchers, four mortars, and one mountain cannon! Over 30,000 rounds of ammunition, especially artillery shells, were lost before the Japanese had a chance to use them, with only a little over 500 rounds left.

So hearty!

Oh, and there were also 26 intact cavalry horses, 35 telescopes, and 28 pocket watches. These were extremely valuable and could not be obtained through ordinary combat plunder.

The soldiers were all satisfied, but Su Fei was not so superficial.

Didn't the Japanese army mobilize the 9th and 11th Independent Mixed Brigades to cooperate with Yamamoto Ikki's special forces in the long-distance raid on the Eighth Route Army headquarters?

With Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and others at the headquarters, we will definitely be safe, although there will be great losses.

Now, it is impossible to intercept Yamamoto's troops from behind or launch a long-distance attack, so the only thing to do is to find the enemy's field troops and make fun of them!

"Comrades, do we dare to make another fortune?" Su Fei explained the next battle strategy.

Disguise as Japanese troops to attract Japanese reinforcements.

Of course, it would be a waste of ammunition.

It’s okay, just listen to the leader!

Su Fei's prestige was already terrifyingly high. Now, after a great victory, who would dare to offend him?

More than 30 people disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and fought on the mountains on both sides of Hanlue Village. Some of the Japanese corpses on the ground were dragged away and hidden. The main force of Su Fei's troops took away the horses, artillery shells and artillery fire, and bullets. They continued to fight with only 100 people 500 meters south of the village.

More than 20 people were ambushed in the village of Hanlue, including the suicide squad and the pistol squad. Each person had two pistols, one was a Mauser pistol for rapid fire, and the other was a Japanese pistol for burst fire.

More than 20 people were ambushed again in the caves on both sides of the mountain road.

On the village roads, there were also more than 20 people fighting with guns, disguising themselves as Japanese soldiers.

The sharp roar of rifle fire echoed in the valley.

Occasionally, there was the roar of mortars.

Su Fei set up a huge trap here, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

I feel unsure.

If we continue like this, the cost will be very high and our army's ammunition will be consumed continuously.

Fortunately, 20 minutes later, the Japanese army finally arrived.

There was a row of trucks, teeming with locusts, beasts, and Japanese dwarfs!

There are also war horses galloping on both sides of the truck!

Oh my God!

While performing the battle scene for free and looking back, Su Fei and his soldiers were both surprised and happy. They were surprised that there were too many Japanese soldiers and they could not cook so many Japanese dogs in one pot. They were happy that the enemy had taken the bait after all.

The Japanese cavalry immediately surpassed the truck team, quickly moved forward, and then quickly dismounted, using rifles and machine guns to shoot forward to cover the truck infantry getting off and deploying.

At this moment, the troops fighting in the south of Su Fei's army immediately fired artillery shells in order to support the concealment of Su Fei and others and avoid being checked and interrogated by the Japanese army, or to avoid being identified and exposed!

The mortars roared and bombarded the Japanese trucks on the mountain road behind Hanlue Village.

More than a dozen rounds were fired, causing the Japanese to panic and blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

Even with the cover of trucks, the Japanese army still suffered seventy or eighty casualties in the narrow mountain road, and their blood was spilled all over the loess and rocks!

The Japanese army was indeed angry!

The infantry jumped off the truck and charged forward desperately. Behind them, the Japanese army immediately prepared all kinds of artillery fire. First, the grenade launcher fired dozens of rounds!

The mortars then started bombing and they had no time to unload from the vehicle!

The Japanese army's firepower was extremely fierce and accurate. It was the professional veterans and technical troops who once crushed the elite of the National Army with miracles.

Fortunately, Su Fei's combat troops in the south consisted of more than 100 people, and they had dug various fortifications, thus avoiding greater casualties.

"Follow my orders, flatten the mountains, annihilate the enemy, leave no one alive, kill them all." The commander of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army waved his saber and was furious!

His deep baritone voice penetrated the smoke and sound barrier, exploding like thunder to the north of Hanlue Village.

He was extremely angry!

I was already in a bad mood!

A brigade commander with the rank of Major General was actually deprived of the command of the battle by the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka. He had to compromise and obey the command of Colonel Yamamoto Ikki, playing cooperation and taking action?

Baka, baka, do you think I’m air?

Second, his troops were only 20 miles away from the battlefield tour group, and they were protected by elite soldiers. It was obvious that the Eighth Route Army troops had been detected and eliminated in this area. In fact, the Eighth Route Army here was defending in many aspects to resist the invasion of the Japanese army, and its manpower was already stretched to the limit.

This is clearly a safe area, so how could the officers' corps be attacked? And in such a tragic way?

How can I explain this to Commander Shinozuka?

The major general leading the tour group was even more senior than him. Rumor had it that he was about to be promoted to lieutenant general and was expected to be appointed commander of a division. He had a wide network of contacts, and if he were to fall at his hands, so many people would surely think he was envious and jealous, and was secretly plotting something…

Because he was extremely anxious and angry, Brigade Commander Kenkichi Ikegami lost his usual calmness and rationality, and ordered the entire army to attack without sufficient artillery preparation!

Another thing was that he discovered that in front of the enemy's position, there were more than thirty Japanese soldiers tied up and used as sandbags. This was naked humiliation!

Tolerable or unbearable?

He didn't know that those Japanese soldiers' human sandbags were actually corpses, he thought they were living people!

Eager to save people!

What's more, those people were all wearing military uniforms of generals and officers!

Amid the shouts of the Japanese staff officers, the entire army's infantry charged forward violently, sweeping in like a mountain pressing down on them!

A perfect independent infantry battalion!

Including five field infantry squadrons.

During this period, a fully equipped Japanese infantry company consisted of more than 180 people!

Including some guard units and cavalry squadrons directly under the brigade, the total force brought by Brigade Commander Ikegami is more than 1200 people.

80 trucks!

The commander of the independent infantry battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Jue Nei Sheng Shen, was also a brave general with rich experience and sharp command. In the Changsha Xinqiang River assault, one of his battalions defeated a division of the Ninth War Zone of the National Army, and then caused an army to retreat in panic.

The stubborn one leads the troops to charge.

At a distance of 500 meters, he shot down a soldier from the opposing Su Fei unit with a headshot!

They believed that with such momentum, coupled with the quickly deployed artillery fire, the Chinese army on the opposite side would collapse and flee in a few minutes. Then, all that would remain was for the Imperial Army to advance triumphantly and display its glorious military prowess!

They had already anticipated that after the battle, they would hang all the Chinese army prisoners on trees, peel off their skin alive, and skin them alive one by one, ahhhh!

Using a sledgehammer to kill a small chicken!

The Japanese army's quick response and formidable military strength are the reason why, in the world of Bright Sword, Li Yunlong's First Battalion of the Independent Regiment hastily evacuated the scene after their successful ambush, not daring to engage with enemy reinforcements. Furthermore, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie's Second and Third Battalions also suffered heavy losses while defending the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Su Fei also had a headache.

Damn it, I originally wanted to steal something and make some money, but who knew that when I wanted to catch a rabbit, you brought a tiger?

Under normal circumstances, Su Fei's 360-man army is not enough to fill the gaps in the enemy's teeth. An artillery suppression and an infantry charge, or even a cavalry charge, are not enough!

Su Fei and others simply went down the hillsides on both sides of the Japanese army and slid down recklessly.

The tide of the Japanese army was blocked by the constant shooting of the defenders in front, but it kept surging and rolling again, crushing past.

The situation and momentum are really one-sided.

The key to reversal has arrived.

Su Fei led more than 30 camouflaged soldiers into the north of Hanlue Village. At this time, the main force of the Japanese army had arrived at the south of the village. Only a small number of more than 80 people were left in the north of the village. They were artillerymen and were trying hard to shoot. The smoke was so thick that their vision was blocked.

Su Fei led his men to rush over quickly. The Japanese artillerymen thought they came down to rest and did not pay any attention to them, so they were definitely killed instantly.

There were rifles and pistols, but the most powerful weapon for close combat was the pistol, which almost shot at the heads and hearts of the Japanese artillerymen!

Bang, the big watermelon exploded!

The last few devils were alert and shouted hurriedly, but Su Fei and others shot them in the mouth! Shut up, Shabi!

Bang bang bang.

Several Japanese drivers came out: "What are you doing?"

Anyone else?

Su Fei and others showed no mercy and immediately shot at the enemy driver.

The Japanese drivers belonged to the truck transport squadron of the logistics troops. They all came out to watch. Some of them could no longer bear it and went to the south to join the battle. However, they were few in number and had no weapons, so they were killed instantly.

Captured 25 enemy mortars!

At this time, more than 20 Su Fei soldiers who had been camouflaged and fighting on the road had followed the Japanese army's tail and launched a surprise attack.

A three-person team, you can tell they are one of us just by looking at their movements.

Shoot at the back of the enemy, or at the head from the side, when the enemy is paying attention to the south and is completely defenseless against his own people behind him and on his left and right.

More than 20 soldiers who were ambushed in the village also came out after listening and observing, and mixed into the crowd of Japanese troops.

They harvested the devil's lives as quickly as possible,

This is what a suicide squad is, blending into the enemy's forces and fighting in the crowd!

Close combat, shoulder to shoulder.

Fight into the heart of the enemy!

They were extremely fast. In just half a minute, more than 70 people assassinated more than 500 Japanese soldiers, nearly half of them!

The sound of gunfire and shouting was deafening. Who could care about what was happening behind them?

Moreover, after Su Fei and others took control of the mortar group, they used 17 guns in groups of two to launch a fierce bombardment on the Japanese army cluster.

Of course, try to bomb forward to avoid accidentally injuring your own people.

In the narrow mountain road, which was only more than thirty meters wide, countless shells fell from the sky, causing a bloody storm among the Japanese troops!
