Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

The cavalry company charged bravely!

Of course, there are tactics as well. Attack from both wings to avoid the firepower of the machine gun company in the front. In order to reduce the casualties of the cavalry company, the firepower of the machine gun company must suppress the enemy.

As long as the Japanese dared to be arrogant and stopped to crawl on the ground to fight back, they would be shot by the heavy machine guns of the machine gun company.

Although the Type 92 chicken neck machine gun cannot be said to have excellent performance, the 7.7mm caliber bullet has improved penetration after all, and it is still good for shooting Japanese soldiers at a distance of 500 meters.

The cavalry company quickly charged, driving back and hacking down the enemy.

The war horses were galloping, the sabers were flying, the snow-white flashes were flashing, and with a whoosh, the knife, wrapped in wind and cold, cut through the neck of the Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier screamed instinctively, and his head and body were separated!

Su Fei's heavy touch suddenly became slippery!

Cool!

This will relieve the hatred!

Of the remaining 60 or so Japanese soldiers, more than 20 were killed by the machine gun company, and 40 were hacked to death by the cavalry company. Or, some cavalry soldiers found the pursuit too tiring and shot the enemy to death with rifles on horseback.

Under the suppression of firepower, the Japanese army was in a state of retreat, or hiding in the gullies, not daring to look up, and was caught by the cavalry and shot on the spot!

Several seriously wounded Japanese soldiers cried out miserably, some calling for their mothers!

You stinking devils, do you also feel uncomfortable? Do you also have family ties?

Live it!

In fact, it is a blessing to have your neck chopped off by a saber. Those devils who had half of their heads and shoulders chopped off were really in pain and did not die a good death!

Cold weapons are the cruelest punishment!

Several soldiers rode their horses, brandishing their swords, and rushed into the Lujiao Village stronghold.

There were no Japs here, only a few wooden puppet soldiers and dozens of villagers holding their heads.

Su Fei was terrified.

Fortunately, the Japanese attacked, otherwise, how many civilians would have been accidentally injured if we had bombarded them ourselves?

The Japanese, Okamura Yasuji and others are really too insidious in coercing the Chinese people. They built their stronghold in the whole village instead of 200 meters away from the village as before.

Victory, victory of blitzkrieg!

The price paid was two soldiers injured and one killed.

Too much was seized.

All the equipment of a complete infantry squadron, three mortars, four machine guns, a 37mm anti-tank gun, eight light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, nine grenade launchers, a large number of bullets and artillery shells, the Japanese were gone before they even started fighting, how did they consume the ammunition?

If the Japanese hold on to the city and resist stubbornly, Su Fei's troops will definitely pay a heavy price!

The strong have strong luck!

Su Fei’s troops were so lucky.

Thanks to the ancestors of Captain Yamashiro, the captain of the Japanese squadron!

By treating and interrogating the Imperial Army, translators, etc., as well as reading the confiscated Japanese combat logs and telegrams, Su Fei quickly figured out the enemy's infantry squadron's combat intentions and intelligence on the surrounding enemies.

Let the translator call the Japanese strongholds in the north and south to tell them that the Eighth Route Army's reinforcements had been defeated and everything was fine.

However, the Japanese commander in the north was alert and requested a direct dialogue with Captain Yamashiro.

The translator was shocked.

Su Fei quickly came up with an idea: "Hmm,"

At his signal, the translator gathered her emotions and cried, "Captain Takemiya, I have to tell you the truth. Captain Yamashiro died in battle, and the troops suffered heavy losses. They are currently fighting over there. Lieutenant Kobayashi, who is in command, hopes to turn the tide and won't let me tell the truth. Ah!"

The phone hangs up.

This creates a weird and imaginative plot.

The Japanese devils can't help but be curious and will definitely come to rescue!

Su Fei didn't want to get entangled with the Japanese. He wanted to quickly move west to rescue the Independent Regiment, but then he thought, the outcome of a war is determined by people. Only by destroying the Japanese's manpower can the situation be reversed? Breaking the enemy's blockade and shocking the enemy, when the Independent Regiment breaks out, will also reduce the pressure of the siege in the east.

Su Fei was even more worried that if his troops moved westward quickly, they would be followed and attacked by the enemy.

Clean up the remaining enemies!

Preparations were made immediately. Dozens of soldiers were disguised as Japanese soldiers and retreated to the north. Behind them were troops in camouflage uniforms chasing them, creating the appearance of a battle between the two sides to trick the Japanese soldiers.

The situation is critical and the Japanese are rampant, but we still cannot underestimate them and we have to disguise ourselves when necessary.

In order to save the lives of the soldiers and reduce casualties, I can use any means.

There's no shame in disguising yourself as a Japanese soldier!

No, shame on you!

In fact, Su Fei really didn't want to play tricks like this anymore.

However, we cannot abandon the ancestral strategy of using deception in war, right?

A plane flew overhead. Su Fei ordered the translator to lead the Imperial Army and the people who had changed into Japanese uniforms to display the identification cloth to the sky according to the Japanese army's contact information. The Japanese reconnaissance plane circled several times and then flew away.

Soon, the battle scene that took place more than a thousand meters away from Lujiao Village by the troops in the north attracted the reinforcements of the Japanese army. A Japanese cavalry squad launched a charge towards Su Fei's troops from both wings.

Those troops immediately relied on simple trenches, obstacles, trees, etc. to shoot at the enemy. At the same time, the troops disguised as Japanese soldiers also shot at the enemy's flanks and rear.

With the hidden firepower of 20 machine guns and other rifles, more than 150 people, under a hail of bullets, instantly wiped out more than 50 Japanese soldiers and ended the battle.

Three people were injured.

Two machine guns, 40 rifles and sabers, two grenade launchers and a large amount of ammunition were seized.

Fifteen war horses were killed or injured, and the remaining 38 were captured intact.

The second and third waves of Su Fei Cavalry Regiment have arrived. After cleaning up the battlefield in the north, they split up and advanced westward.

However, in Lujiao Village, a machine gun company and an artillery squad were ambushed.

This is the rearguard.

After Su Fei's main force left, the Japanese army sent troops from both the north and south strongholds to investigate. The Japanese army in the northern stronghold, in particular, was furious when they saw the bodies of the Japanese soldiers killed on the battlefield, all stripped naked!

They thought that the Eighth Route Army was deliberately humiliating them, but they didn't know that in fact, Su Fei's troops were a newly formed army composed of ordinary people. When they saw the Japanese wearing such good clothes, they would definitely not let them go. Even Su Fei had to provide the troops with the best raw materials for camouflage uniforms. He had to make such a request and had no other intentions.

The Japanese soldiers rushed over angrily and found some civilians looking around or busying themselves. Knowing that there was no danger in Lujiao Village, they rushed over directly.

The village was indeed full of common people, all of them were terrified and bowed to greet and inform on them. They listened patiently. After all, it was not too late to kill these Chinese after listening to them to avenge those imperial army warriors!

When the Japanese troops searched everywhere in the village and entered the village, these villagers suddenly pulled out their pistols and shot the Japanese soldiers at close range. At the same time, machine guns were stretched out from under the courtyard wall, under the millstone, and in the firewood pile in the village and fired at the Japanese soldiers.

More than 60 Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot and 20 were injured. Afterwards, the machine gun company chased the Japanese. The Japanese resisted and fled, thinking they could get rid of the entanglement. As a result, they were chased and shot by the machine gun company. With one burst of gunfire after another, the Japanese soldiers fell dead one after another.

In the end, the two Japanese troops lost a total of more than 150 people.

The rear guard troops were originally a normal arrangement of Su Fei. Unexpectedly, they inherited Su Fei's true teachings and were good at disguise and sneak attacks. Without any orders, the commander of the third company of the machine gun battalion made the most ruthless arrangement himself.

Their battle results far exceeded Su Fei's expectations.

Strong generals have no weak soldiers!

They didn't expect, nor did Su Fei, that they easily broke through the Japanese blockade line. The problem was very serious. The news reached the new brigade commander of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, who immediately dispatched two infantry battalions, a mountain artillery company, and three aircraft to rush towards Lujiao Village to completely block the gap.

Invisibly, the Japanese army's iron wall encirclement and blockade line was shaken!

The Su Fei Cavalry Regiment advanced rapidly.

He was furious.

According to the Independent Regiment's request, the Special Operations Brigade cannot send telegrams to the Independent Regiment. However, it must keep its equipment on at all times to receive messages from the Independent Regiment at any time.

This shows that the problem is very serious.

The independent regiment was in danger at all times, and was worried that the Japanese army would use special communication equipment to detect and track telecommunications, and even decipher secret messages.

"Your troops will immediately attack Houtou'an and Mengliangcheng in Zhuzuiwan Township, Wucheng, to contain the Japanese troops and cover our attack!"

Su Fei immediately looked for two places on the captured Japanese map, confirmed the direction and location, asked the old Eighth Route Army soldier to guide him to identify them, called a meeting of the battalion and company commanders, explained the situation in a few words, and set off quickly.

Su Fei specifically emphasized that we should be careful when encountering the Japanese army's rapid reaction forces, such as the 4th Cavalry Brigade!

This is the information found in the Japanese military combat logs and document orders. The Japanese army has an independent mixed brigade and a cavalry brigade in the iron wall encirclement!

This strength is so terrifying!

What is the concept of a cavalry brigade?

The full establishment is 5600 people, including eight cavalry squadrons, one cavalry artillery regiment, machine gun squadrons, rapid-fire artillery squadrons, tank, engineer and supply squadrons, 12 heavy machine guns, 36 field guns, 4 rapid-fire guns, many tanks, dozens of trucks, and so on.

A composite combat force, well-equipped and highly mobile.

From the Northeast to Inner Mongolia, to North China, and later to Central China, the 4th Cavalry Brigade has played an active role.

The 4th Cavalry Brigade also participated in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in May 1941. Its strong mobility and firepower put the national army in a very passive position.

Of course, the Japanese cavalry units also gradually declined, and the four cavalry brigades were finally reduced to this one.

The Japanese army's ace cavalry unit!

On the Soviet-German and Pacific battlefields, facing the torrent of steel and the three-dimensional firepower of the sea and air, they were meat couriers. During the Battle of Nomonhan, they delivered a week's supply of horse meat to the Soviet army! However, facing the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army and the weakly motivated Nationalist troops, they were a terrifying existence.

I can't beat him, and I can't escape either.

Sun Desheng's cavalry company of the independent regiment was completely wiped out by this Japanese cavalry unit!

We have arrived at Houzui Ridge.

Not knowing the location of the independent regiment or the direction of the breakout, the vanguard scouts of Su Fei's troops searched and found a small number of Japanese infantry stationed there.

Su Fei personally went to the front line to observe and found that the Japanese army had established trenches and set up light and heavy machine guns, with a force of at least one squad.

They called in local people as guides and found that there was a small path behind Zhuzui Ridge. So they sent a squad of cavalry soldiers to infiltrate and attack the enemy from the flank.

Soon, gunshots were heard over there, indicating that the infiltration had failed. The Japanese army was on high alert and had deployed defenses everywhere. There was a solid enemy blockade line here.

Su Fei changed his tactics and ordered the artillery battalion to prepare. After observation, a cavalry platoon dismounted and joined the battle, approaching the enemy.

Mortars fired at the enemy positions.

The Japanese army immediately fired back with light and heavy machine guns and multiple mortars.

Su Fei's troops used mountain artillery to bombard the Japanese army. With 6 shells, they turned the Zhuzui Ridge Heights occupied by the Japanese army into a bloody graveyard.

The artillery fire extended, bombarding the Japanese troops behind and the woods and bushes on both sides.

Su Fei estimated that the enemy had ambushed a large number of troops there.

Sure enough, after twenty shells, the Japanese army rushed out from the jungle and behind the rocks, quacking like frightened ducks.

Captain Komatsu, the captain of the Japanese infantry squadron, covered his right ear which was cut off by shrapnel, shouted loudly, and urged his officers and soldiers to charge forward and wipe out the Chinese.

They belonged to the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, and were blocking the Independent Regiment here. They had the strongest manpower, the tightest defense, sufficient firepower, and solid fortifications. However, they did not expect that the enemy, a strange force wearing gray clothes coming from the east, actually had mortars, light machine guns, and mountain cannons!

The range and power of mountain artillery are much greater than those of mortars!

The Japanese trenches were destroyed!

If we don't attack now, this infantry squadron will be destroyed in vain!

"Kill him!"

The Japanese army was in a dominant position and charged from above.

Is there such a good thing?

How come the Japanese can't stand any provocation at all?

The mountains were full of bushes and rock piles, providing plenty of cover for the Japanese infantry's charge. At the same time, Japanese mortars and machine guns were roaring.

Ouch? There's more?

Su Fei ordered the artillery to attack fiercely and suppress the enemy severely.

The skills that the special operations brigade's artillery had diligently learned and practiced finally came in handy. With repeated fierce bombings, they quickly silenced all the Japanese army's firepower.

The front troops began to retreat. This was an established tactic. They retreated far away, more than 400 meters. Generally, the Japanese would not shoot. The key was to run at full speed.

However, when the Japanese entered the distance of 150 meters, the signal flare rose, and the 40 machine gunners of the Su Fei unit who were in ambush suddenly concentrated fire with 20 machine guns. The crossfire was like crazy fire snakes and long dragons, and the energy fluctuations chopped the enemy into pieces like long swords.

The artillery also bombarded the enemy infantry's rear positions to drive them away!

The troops that were retreating on the front also quickly returned to siege.

They mounted their horses and rushed towards the enemy at top speed.

Three minutes later, Captain Komatsu's infantry company of more than 170 people was completely wiped out.

Captain Komatsu himself was killed on the spot by a penetrating wound from a machine gun through the chest.

Su Fei's troops suffered 12 casualties, which is a huge loss and heartbreaking!

They are all cavalry.

Li Yunlong would cry if 13 cavalrymen were killed or injured.

However, the richness of the spoils was far beyond imagination. As a solid blockade stronghold and base, there was an infantry battalion's ammunition and supply warehouse here!

No wonder Captain Komatsu had to fight desperately when the artillery fire sounded, fearing that the ammunition in the warehouse would explode!

Soon, Japanese troops from other directions also arrived to reinforce.

They rushed over as quickly as possible and thought that Komatsu's squadron had already defeated the enemy!
