Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei couldn't help but stop the car, looked back at the Japanese brigade commander who was struggling desperately and pinned to the truck bed, and asked him in Japanese: "Major General Ikegami, what do you want? Isn't it embarrassing? A general acting like a madman?"

Major General Ikegami was shocked: "You? Imperial? Traitor?"

Su Fei was impatient and told him his identity and the battle situation.

Major General Ikegami was dumbfounded. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You, with less than 400 of us, are the Eighth Route Army, and you actually caused the demise of 1,200 of my elite imperial forces! Liar, liar, liar!"

Hehe, I just like the way you feel when you are frustrated and unable to turn the situation around!

On the march, they encountered guards deployed along the way. Soon, a company from the south also returned, and Su Fei's total strength was restored to more than 700 people.

After the meeting, all the soldiers were overjoyed.

Su Fei was not so emotional. He was concerned about the main movement of the enemy, the location of Colonel Yamamoto Ikki's special attack team, and was also worried about the safety of Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

In the world of Bright Sword, Zhao Gang's second and third battalions defeated the enemy at a heavy price, but what if something changed?

The captured Japanese radio station was always on, as was the original Eighth Route Army radio station.

What worries Su Fei is that the telecommunications connection with the Independent Regiment has been unsuccessful! Is there any danger?

Fortunately, after Su Fei's troops returned to their original hiding position, they finally received news from the Japanese army, which Yamamoto Ikki had sent to multiple units. He urged Major General Ikegami to report on the progress of the various units of the 9th Brigade and also inquired about the whereabouts of the First Army battlefield tour group that the 9th Brigade was protecting.

According to the plan, Yamamoto used the heavy troops of the two brigades to scare and disrupt the Eighth Route Army's troops to divert their attention. When the time was right, his troops would launch a special attack on the current location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Along the way, Su Fei carefully studied the enemy's combat plans and intentions, so he sent a reply telegram to Yamamoto Ikki, telling him that he was entangled by a large number of Eighth Route Army guerrillas, which was very annoying. Therefore, after the battle, he deviated from the original route and was now more than 20 miles south of Hanluo Village. He requested Colonel Yamamoto to send a cavalry unit to reinforce him.

Possessing a radio station and the enemy's secret codes is an absolutely powerful weapon. If you don't make good use of it, it would be meaningless, like going to a mountain of treasure and coming back empty-handed!

As for the safety of the independent regiment and the headquarters, wouldn't it be easier to relieve their pressure by eliminating more enemies?

The next combat plan was quickly informed to the soldiers of each unit.

However, we didn't know where the enemy was coming from and how to ambush them.

So Su Fei ordered the telegraph operator to send another telegram, begging Colonel Yamamoto for reinforcements. "A large number of Eighth Route Army and Shanxi-Suiyuan Army appeared around our army. The battle was very fierce. We have repelled the enemy. The enemy surrounded us but did not attack."

Colonel Yamamoto called back, angrily denouncing Major General Ikegami for his incompetence and allowing him to dispatch his own troops to provide support.

OK.

Su Fei immediately sent several telegrams based on the action plan and the positions of various troops marked by the Japanese army on the map, requesting the cavalry regiment of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade to send reinforcements immediately.

Because now, no one knows whether the Japanese cavalry regiment’s radio is turned on, and it cannot be found in the combat log, so they send messages frequently.

Unexpectedly, the Cavalry Regiment called back!

"I will immediately dispatch the left wing cavalry brigade, that is, two cavalry squadrons, to support the brigade commander!"

Two cavalry squadrons?

Su Fei was startled.

You know, his greatest wish is that the Japanese army will send a cavalry squadron, or even a cavalry squadron. We will take every bit of it we can get. Safety comes first.

A cavalry squad consists of more than 40 people, which is not a large number. The key is that in mountain warfare, they can maneuver quickly and are very powerful, posing a great threat to the encirclement and detour of our army headquarters and independent regiment!

Moreover, we can capture the enemy's horses.

War horses and cavalry are what Su Fei has always been obsessed with. He wants to build a powerful cavalry to save the fate of Sun Desheng's cavalry company in the future! He also wants to gallop across the battlefields of the future and crush the Japanese army!

A cavalry squadron consists of 144 people, 134 horses, and several motorcycles or trucks.

A cavalry battalion consists of two cavalry squadrons and a machine gun squad, a total of 340 people, and has multiple motorcycles and trucks.

This kind of troops are the elite of the Japanese army. They have extremely high military literacy and are flexible and agile. If they charge at their own troops on a mountain road without sufficient preparation, it will be fatal!

The momentum of the furious charge of the war horses often instantly crushes the fighting will of the defenders!

Su Fei took a deep breath and asked the electronic training personnel to inquire in detail about the movements of the Japanese cavalry brigade, and requested that the troops be divided into two groups, one of which would encircle the enemy to the south and block the Eighth Route Army's retreat.

In this way, we can divide and conquer.

The Japanese Cavalry Regiment replied, detailing the time, speed, and route of the action of two cavalry squadrons and a machine gun squad.

Good! Su Fei was overjoyed.

Now, he immediately made a plan.

Naturally, more than a hundred people were sent to the hillside a thousand meters away in the south to fire indiscriminately, using Hanyang rifles, Zhongzheng rifles, or other miscellaneous rifles to indicate that they were the Eighth Route Army and to attract the enemy's attention.

More than 200 people transported the large amount of seized items to some secret valleys in the west and hid them.

Over 400 men, dressed in Japanese military uniforms, shot several Japanese officers, lieutenants and below, and then dressed them in the uniforms of Japanese brigade commanders and battalion commanders. On the mountain path, a memorial ceremony for the brigade commander was arranged.

More than a dozen captured high-ranking comfort women from the Japanese military were made to wear kimonos and bow in silence on both sides.

Su Fei deployed a large number of soldiers to line up on the mountain road.

In 40 minutes, the Japanese army arrived.

A cavalry squadron, with numerous war horses, cavalrymen, military flags, and a machine gun team, riding on five motorcycles and five trucks.

There are trucks in the front, motorcycles and trucks in the middle, and cavalry in the back.

Su Fei's "Japanese soldiers" occupied the high ground on both sides of the more than 300-meter-long mountain road in the north, and were on guard.

When the Japanese army arrived, they were shocked.

Su Fei came out with a few soldiers to greet them. "I'm Sergeant Inaba, and I'm in charge of welcoming guests. I have some unfortunate news to share with you all. The brigade commander, General Ikegami, has died in battle. Please line up and come and pay your respects to his remains!"

The Japanese cavalry captain was shocked, bowed quickly, and became grief-stricken. He also called out to the people behind him. The Japanese soldiers around him also shouted loudly to spread the news.

All the Japanese soldiers jumped off their horses, got out of the trucks and motorcycles, and lined up.

These Japanese soldiers believed it!

In Hanluo Village, they did find a large number of Japanese soldiers' bodies, and knew that there would be a tough battle ahead.

144 Japanese cavalrymen and more than 50 machine gunners came in a line, with panic on their faces, and moved forward with their heads down. Under the guidance of Su Fei and others, they entered this side!
