Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Relying on a Type 92 infantry gun and a cavalry battalion of more than 500 people, Su Fei's troops wiped out all the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in Pingjing County within three days, and then attacked Ping'an County!

In one day, five large Japanese strongholds were destroyed! The Japanese prison chain west of Ping'an County was completely shattered!

By the next day, all Japanese and puppet army strongholds in Ping'an County were destroyed.

On the third day, Su Fei used the infantry battalion formed in Pingjing County to besiege Ping'an County. He dug a large number of trenches and kept shooting. Finally, at 3:10 pm, he attracted reinforcements from the Japanese and puppet troops.

Su Fei's plan was to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements.

Only by allowing the enemy to reinforce can the cavalry battalion's powerful assault and field combat role be brought into play.

In an era when concentrated firepower was insufficient and the Japanese army was completely unequipped with submachine guns, the cavalry was extremely powerful in the areas where mountains and plains met!

He is not afraid of sacrifice or loss, but he is not as stingy as Li Yunlong. He was heartbroken when Sun Desheng lost 13 cavalrymen in the Battle of Lijiaopo!

A Japanese infantry detachment of more than 650 people, a cavalry squadron of 45 people, a machine gun squadron of more than 50 people, and an artillery squadron of 122 people, carrying two 75mm mountain cannons, one 75mm indirect-fire infantry gun, 12 mortars of various types, four Type 97 heavy machine guns, four 25mm machine guns, and more than 20 trucks, with the cooperation of a puppet army team of more than 700 people, marched towards Ping'an County in a mighty force.

The reconnaissance cavalry had already informed Su Fei.

Su Fei's cavalry camp is 3000 meters away from Ping'an County, hidden among villages and woods.

There is one company each in the west, south and north.

The machine gun company and artillery company are also on the west side.

The telescope observed the enemy situation.

This is not guerrilla warfare, not mobile warfare, but a complex war.

There were Ping'an Infantry Camp troops all around Ping'an County, digging trenches 500 meters outside the city gate and approaching the county gate.

There is a core position with many obstacles set up on it. The walls are built with wood, planks, bricks, etc. There are several circles of circular trenches around the position to isolate it from the outside. No matter whether the enemy breaks through or attacks from anywhere, the siege soldiers can rely on the solid position to block the enemy.

After the Japanese and puppet troops arrived, they were also a little confused. They did not expect that the siege troops were so alert. They used positions and trenches to slowly approach the county town, and they could not directly attack.

Immediately, Japanese detachment commander Lieutenant Colonel Yajima ordered an attack.

The artillery bombarded the Chinese troops in the east of the city, killing their manpower and undermining their morale. Mountain artillery and infantry artillery fired more than 50 shells, completely destroying the core obstacle fortress of the Chinese army's position and collapsing many trenches.

A company of the Imperial Army began to charge.

Lieutenant Colonel Yajima thought the battle was over!

The Chinese army is no match at all!

However, when the Imperial Army charged to a distance of 30 meters, the silent trenches suddenly became boiling. Hundreds of Chinese troops, wearing strange camouflage uniforms, emerged and started shooting. They actually had two light machine guns and were carrying out cross-fire!

The rest of the personnel almost everyone had a rifle!

After a burst of gunfire, more than half of the Imperial Army's company was killed or wounded, and they fled in a panic.

Yajima was shocked.

The Chinese troops in the trenches had strange uniforms. They were camouflage-colored, mainly brown, almost the same color as the ground, making them difficult to see. Secondly, they were well-equipped, even better than the Imperial Army, with at least 20 38 rifles.

"Bombard, bombard again!"

The artillery units fired at the Chinese army's positions again and used high-altitude mortars. The shells fell from the sky and hit the trenches.

The sound of cannons rumbled, and the smoke and dirt from the explosion flew far away. Occasionally, human bodies were also thrown out and torn to pieces.

The positions have been turned upside down!

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Yajima was satisfied and ordered another group of Imperial Army to charge and occupy the position.

The result is still the same!

Suddenly, more than 80 Chinese soldiers in camouflage uniforms emerged from the mud. A volley of bullets fired by them knocked the Imperial Army to the ground and forced it to retreat in a panic.

Lieutenant Colonel Yajima shot the Imperial Army company commander on the spot.

However, his subordinates reminded Yajima that during the charge, the Imperial Army only had the soldiers in the front to shoot, and there were no obstacles for cover. Whether they had machine guns or not, they were indeed no match for the Chinese army!

Yajima quickly regained his senses.

At the suggestion of the chief of staff, he decided to adopt the tactics in Operation Plan A issued by General Kozuka, commander of the First Army, to surround the enemy with an iron wall and then use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken!

Make clear changes quickly.

The puppet army set up an outer cordon, and a Japanese Mizusawa infantry squad of more than 50 people was responsible for monitoring the Chinese troops in the east of the city.

A cavalry squad led by Second Lieutenant Kono was responsible for monitoring the Chinese troops isolating the north of the city.

An infantry company, responsible for encircling and monitoring the Chinese troops to the west of the city.

Lieutenant Colonel Yajima concentrated all the remaining forces, including two infantry companies with more than 370 people, a detachment headquarters with 50 people, a machine gun squad with 54 people, and an artillery company with 122 people, to besiege the Chinese army positions in the south of the city!

By the time the Imperial Army's outer defenses were set up, Lieutenant Colonel Yajima's Japanese attack forces were also in place.

"Shoot, kill!" Captain Miyake, the captain of the artillery squadron, waved his saber and stood on a high ground on Liumanpo in the south of the city, issuing the attack order.

Lieutenant Colonel Yajima was also here, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

Using a sledgehammer to kill chickens, kill them one by one!

The artillery laid the ground, the infantry charged head-on, and the machine gun squads and machine gun teams on both sides suppressed the fire, ensuring that all the Chinese soldiers would die without knowing how they died!

Imperial Army, we must win with zero casualties! Load up, load up!

The cannons roared and the earth shook!

Thick columns of smoke rose from the Chinese army positions in the south of the city, leaving behind huge craters.

The Japanese and puppet troops watching the battle were all surprised and exclaimed in admiration.

At this time, Su Fei's cavalry battalion set out!

Full deployment.

However, one cavalry company was required to attack the enemy's puppet troops and Japanese troops in the west of the city from north to south, and the other two cavalry companies were required to set out from hidden locations in the west and south of the city to jointly attack the main force of the Japanese army.

"Soldiers of the cavalry battalion, to destroy the brutal Japanese devils, pick up our sabers and charge!"

The cavalry soldiers drew their sabers, urged their horses on, and rushed forward.

The men held their tongues in their mouths, the horses wrapped their hooves, and they moved silently, brave as tigers, cunning as foxes, and ferocious as wolves. When they reached 100 meters outside the Imperial Army's cordon, the Imperial Army soldiers who were watching the battle suddenly woke up: "The enemy, the enemy is coming! The Tubalu, no, gray and dingy...ah."

The cavalry battalion launched a charge!

Sabres flew, heads of traitors rolled, ghosts cried and wolves howled!

After breaking the puppet army's cordon, more than 200 cavalrymen marched non-stop straight to the Japanese army's Liumanpo artillery position.

At the same time, the cavalry battalion artillery company in the rear also launched a preemptive strike on the Japanese artillery positions and infantry clusters.

The machine gun company rode on horses carrying light machine guns and mounted heavy machine guns on trucks, charging at the Japanese army while concentrating their fire.
