Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei was not only worried about the urgent military situation, wondering where that old fox Yamamoto Ikki was and what plots he was hatching, but he was also worried about his own life and property being too conspicuous. Just the three Japanese cavalry squadrons alone had over 400 horses seized! Fewer than 250 soldiers in our unit could ride horses, and many of the horses had to be led or tied to the back of trucks!

After thinking it over, he decided to take the enemy by surprise and change the direction of march again.

Head east, get rid of the enemy's entanglement, and return to the original base, Baijia Town and the county town area.

Suddenly, all the soldiers cheered. They had been away from home for a few days, who wouldn’t miss home?

Go east, go east, go east!

After returning to Baijia Town and its surrounding villages, the soldiers went home to see their families, and evenly distributed the captured enemy belts, military boots, water bottles, banknotes, and some valuable gadgets, and took them home as prizes. They then quickly returned and dug a large number of tunnels in the Baijia Town area, further deepened and reinforced them, buried excess ammunition, and drove trucks to the county town. They left the war horses in the Baijia Town area, separated them, and reduced the target size.

In the county town and Baijia Town area, defensive arrangements were made intensively to prevent the enemy from becoming angry and chasing them down.

Of course, their marching guards and soldiers had people specifically destroying the traces, just in case.

Three days later, there was no enemy movement.

The captured enemy secret codes were also ineffective. We could receive some Japanese telegrams, but we couldn't decipher them. This meant that the enemy had modified them and switched to a new code. Also, we finally got in touch with the Independent Regiment!

The Japanese army retreated completely, and even Yamamoto's troops retreated far away.

The battle is completely over and it's safe.

Of course, the independent regiment asked Su Fei to provide the location of the troops and report on the battle situation in the past few days.

"I don't believe you defected!"

The last sentence was said in Li Yunlong's tone, full of resentment.

Su Fei immediately gathered trucks and war horses, returned as quickly as possible, reached the place where the weapons and ammunition were buried, dug them all out, and transported them to the current garrison of the independent regiment.

what?

The people of the independent regiment were stunned.

On full alert, bullets loaded, bayonets polished, I can't believe my eyes!

There have been telegram messages and notifications from the cavalry at the outpost, but Li Yunlong and others still dare not take it lightly. What if it is an enemy conspiracy?

A huge convoy of trucks and cavalry!

All of them are Japanese military uniforms!

Now, the independent regiment has suffered heavy losses after the offensive and defensive battles with Yamamoto's special forces and its equipped troops. Its strength is greatly reduced. It must be on guard. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army headquarters is not far behind it!

It was not until Su Fei personally rode over with the battalion commander and company commander that the independent regiment laid down their weapons and cheered.

"Damn it, you guys made a fortune!"

Li Yunlong was so excited that he swore.

Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng, Zhuzi, Zhu Ziming and others are all here!

Su Fei led everyone to see the spoils.

There are more than 90 trucks, and 15 of them are parked in the county town due to lack of fuel and have not been delivered.

More than 400 war horses, all intact!

fully armed!

Various mountain cannons, field cannons, anti-tank guns, infantry guns, mortars, machine guns, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, especially the boxes of ammunition piled up like mountains, the glittering golden bullets, the huge and heavy artillery shells...it makes people excited and dazzled.

Many soldiers from the independent regiment rushed over and hugged him and cried bitterly.

If we had these things, why would so many of our comrades run out of bullets and die tragically in hand-to-hand combat during the battle?

All the cadres and soldiers of the independent regiment were shocked and exclaimed all the way, and finally cried for joy.

Su Fei did not dare to be arrogant and quickly recounted the entire battle process, especially emphasizing that he attacked the enemy from behind and sent a telegram to ask the enemy to withdraw, which was also a roundabout way to save the country and completed the task of the outer defense war in a circuitous way.

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and said, "No, no, you're disobeying orders, acting on your own, and leaving the battlefield. Take him out and shoot him immediately. Shoot him a hundred times! Hahaha!"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang said, "Comrade Su Fei, don't worry. Your approach is absolutely correct. It's both principled and flexible. This is the true understanding and practice of our army's independent guerrilla strategy!"

Kong Jie asked Su Fei to stand straight and gave him a standard military salute. "Comrade Su Fei, I'm a rough man and I don't admire many people. I don't even take Li Yunlong seriously. But I admire you, really!"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang also saluted with a solemn expression: "Learn from the combat hero and outstanding commander, Regimental Commander Su Fei, and salute!"

Li Yunlong was furious, his hands on his hips. "Kong Erlangzi, you flatter one and then trample on the other? That's unfair! I'm telling you, I will never salute Su Fei. He was promoted by me and will always be my subordinate, Su Fei, right? Am I wrong?"

Su Fei quickly saluted Li Yunlong, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, and Deputy Regimental Commander Kong Jie, and saluted in a circle: "Commander, you are my old commander! Political Commissar, Commander Kong, you are my old leaders, and the Independent Regiment is my mother's home! I will always be your subordinate! Forever!"

Su Fei is serious about this. He will always love and respect every hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and every veteran of the Eighth Route Army who fought tirelessly and tirelessly.

However, his current status and military achievements make this statement different.

Everyone was very excited. Even the carefree Li Yunlong had tears in his eyes. He pointed at Su Fei and wanted to speak, but tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly rubbed his nose and lowered his head to pull his shoes: "What nonsense, woman! I can't stand it!"

The soldiers of the independent regiment immediately began to unload the goods.

Li Yunlong ordered the telecommunications squad to send a report of victory to the brigade commander and sent someone on horseback to report directly to the headquarters.

Looking at the weapons list handed over by Su Fei, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and others were all grinning from ear to ear.

Yes, it was given to the Independent Regiment, because Su Fei was from the Second Independent Regiment, which was under the command of Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment during the war. In name, it was also the achievement of the Independent Regiment!

"Two 70mm Italian Type 92 infantry guns, six 75mm Italian mountain guns, anti-tank guns, machine guns, mortars... shells..."

Li Yunlong asked the security officer Zhu Ziming to read it out. He listened and kept muttering along, and suddenly lost control and burst into tears!

"With all this stuff, why should I be so frustrated? Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan was seriously injured, 12 officers above the rank of platoon leader were killed, 135 soldiers were killed, and 225 were injured! Ahhhhh."

Everyone hurried to persuade him.

The atmosphere is so depressing!

Su Fei suggested that there would be a surprise later.

surprise?

By the way, there are dozens of sacks, one sack full of radishes and potatoes!

"What kind of treasure is this? A young lady from the East? A big radish? Hahaha!" Li Yunlong wiped his nose and rubbed a handful of dirt.

However, when I saw the shipment, I was shocked again!
