Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

A few Japanese soldiers who were left behind sniped while crawling, and some wounded Japanese and puppet soldiers struggled to fight, but they were quickly wiped out by the rapid cavalry charge and machine gun fire of Su Fei's troops!

The sabers whistled, hacking these stubborn devils to death.

Whoosh, the arm is chopped off! I told you to shoot from behind!

Bang, half of your head is chopped off, red blood, white brain matter, I will make you suffer a terrible loss, you will regret it!

Or, just use machine guns to shoot, da da da, and beat the Japanese into garbage!

The iron hooves of the warhorse are also fierce weapons, which can directly kick the Japanese soldiers to death or fly away!

The momentum of that rapid charge was the ultimate weapon that crushed the Japanese's psychological defenses. Seeing the cavalry rushing towards them quickly and the dust filling the sky, the Japanese infantry felt despair and powerlessness, and some even committed suicide!

Some of them got up from the ground, forgot the dignity of Bushido and the awesome status of imperial warriors, and even dropped their rifles and ran for their lives, calling for their mothers as they ran!

Faced with the threat of death, most Japanese soldiers are not afraid, but when faced with unpredictable dangers, they still instinctively become frightened and collapse!

Of course, the stubborn resistance of some devils also caused some casualties among Su Fei's cavalry.

Some soldiers were shot, rolled down and died on the spot.

Some were trampled to death by the cavalry charging from behind!

Almost all the cavalry soldiers who fell off their horses were either dead or disabled, and it was difficult for them to have a good outcome.

However, the cavalry troops were fighting like crazy!

My blood is boiling, how can I be afraid at all?

The soldiers who were shot rolled off their saddles. Adrenaline made some of those who were not fatally injured get up quickly and quickly use first aid kits to stop the bleeding and bandage them. Some of them just became furious and shot with guns without caring about their own life or death, defeating the enemy who was plotting against them!

On Huangtu Ridge, a cold wind blew. Su Fei saw the direction the enemy was fleeing and ordered a pursuit: "Brothers of the Special Operations Brigade, wolf cubs, kill all the devils!"

Dozens of cavalrymen pursued fiercely on the open plain, training shooting while galloping, reaping the lives of the enemy!

As the Japanese and puppet troops were running, they were shot in the back and fell down, rolling on the ground.

The cavalry charged forward and trampled the enemy's wounded into a pulp.

The little devil and Er Gouzi let out shrill, desperate howls and begged for mercy...

That's not OK.

When you were killing our civilians and mopping up our soldiers, did you ever show any mercy?

A group of cruel invaders, robbers and scum!

After chasing for more than a thousand meters, more than 80 cavalrymen wiped out more than 200 enemies, most of whom were hacked to death!

When Sun Desheng's cavalry company arrives to join forces, we can only celebrate the victory.

On the walkie-talkie, Li Yunlong began with a string of curse words, recounting the harvest from cleaning up the battlefields of Queen's Ditch and Huangtu Ridge: "He... Su Fei, Comrade Goudan, you bastard, you've done a big job this time, you know? There are over 400 Japanese corpses in the ditch, plus those on the ridge and the hillside, not counting those blown to pieces, there are over 800 people in total. Not a squadron, not a small detachment, but a fully equipped infantry battalion!"

The Japs had so many weapons and ammunition, especially mountain cannons and infantry cannons, that Li Yunlong was so happy that he was shaking!

Su Fei ordered the captured weapons to be disassembled and packed, and to be carried by the extra war horses, and to leave as quickly as possible.

Let Sun Desheng be the vanguard and lead the main force, and Su Fei decided to stay behind and lead the cavalry company to cover the rear.

When Political Commissar Zhao Gang's rear guard arrived, the soldiers reported that the political commissar was injured!

Su Fei and Li Yunlong rushed to see him, especially Li Yunlong, who was extremely anxious: "Old Zhao, you can't make any mistakes. The independent regiment can't do without you!"

Zhao Gang sat up on the stretcher: "It's okay! I was knocked over by the blast and shrapnel from the Japanese artillery shell! I felt dizzy for a moment!"

Li Yunlong immediately smiled brightly: "Okay, Lao Zhao, you are really lucky. Come, let me check if your man parts are missing!"

The soldiers around him all laughed secretly.

Su Fei asked them to leave immediately, leaving behind a cavalry company, an artillery platoon, and a machine gun platoon.

The main force left.

More than 80 people in the cavalry company survived the bloody battle. Their numbers have decreased, but their fighting spirit, courage and combat skills have improved. They are all proud and exude an impressive murderous aura!

The machine gun platoon used two heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, four mortars, one infantry gun, and one grenade launcher that had just been captured on the battlefield.

There was too much spoils of war to be carried away by people or horses, so we might as well just use them to consume the enemy's pursuers.

Especially the infantry artillery, I really can’t carry it!

Utilizing the enemy's trenches and other fortifications, machine gun and mortar positions were built on the hills on both sides of the easternmost side of Queen's Ditch. All light and heavy machine guns and mortars were pulled up, and one infantry gun was dragged to the reverse slope of Huangtu Ridge!

Su Fei's cavalry also hid on the reverse slope of Huangtu Ridge, and on both sides of the area, and deployed more than ten cavalrymen in Queen's Ditch as sentinels and bait.

Most people began to rest.

"Come, drink water and eat meat!"

Not afraid of being discovered by the enemy, Su Fei's cavalry began to grill horse meat behind Huangtu Ridge!

In a great battle, more than 50 horses were killed or wounded by both sides. Most of them were taken away. Three injured horses were used as rations for Su Fei's troops. Some soldiers slaughtered the horses and grilled the meat.

We also seized some canned food and sake from the devils.

Half an hour later, the Japanese army finally arrived, very cautiously. A few cavalrymen were in the vanguard to explore the way, and infantry motorcycles and trucks were 300 meters behind. The machine guns mounted on the vehicles fired fiercely at the hillsides and tops on both sides, conducting fire reconnaissance.

I don’t know how much ammunition the Japanese consumed along the way.

Five hundred meters away, more than ten cavalrymen from Su Fei's unit fired at the enemy's vanguards. After a burst of random shots, they were required to use up all the bullets in the magazines and immediately retreat to Huangtu Ridge.

Three Japanese soldiers were killed and two were wounded. They jumped off their horses to avoid being shot.

500 meters is not the normal combat shooting distance, and it is certainly not the range for the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the Japanese army naturally believed that this group of remnants of the Eighth Route Army would wait until they were 300 meters, or even 200 meters or 50 meters before shooting, and they would cherish their bullets.

Damn! The Eighth Route Army has no moral principles!

The Japanese officers and soldiers were furious.

Can you aim at 500 meters?

Isn't that nonsense?

The problem is, the specified range of the 38 rifle is 2400 meters!

Stray bullets can also cause great damage!

The small Japanese unit quickly charged and pursued, the artillery bombarded Huangtu Ridge, and the infantry squad launched an assault in combat formation.

A dozen cavalry soldiers continued to shoot at the Japanese army on Huangtu Ridge.

The Japanese army was furious, and the artillery fire from the trucks poured down on Huangtu Ridge. The shells tore through the air, making sharp howling sounds. Smoke and dust billowed on the ridge, and sand and rocks flew everywhere. Some large trees that remained from the last battle were blown down.

The Japanese cavalry quickly rushed up Huangtu Ridge from the gentle slope.

Several cavalrymen cheered at the Japanese troops in Queen's Ditch on the side of Huangtu Ridge close to the cliff.

The Japanese artillery fire stopped, motorcycles and trucks sped up, and infantry followed the vehicles, advancing quickly on both sides.

A squadron of Japanese troops crossed Queen's Ditch and climbed up Huangtu Ridge.

Standing on the ridge and looking to the east, you can see a plain dotted with many small hills. A large number of villages are covered by the old late autumn green, as well as some woods and some corn stalks that have not yet been cleared.

Japanese squadron leader Lieutenant Masahiro Kato's eyes were wet.

There are too many corpses of the imperial army who died in battle up and down Huangtu Ridge.

The tragic and hideous faces made him heartbroken. It was incredible that such a magnificent fortification group was easily penetrated by the Eighth Route Army and the defensive forces were completely wiped out.

Some Japanese officers and soldiers were crying loudly.

There were also Japanese soldiers who swore, "Damn Okamura Yasuji, damn the preferential treatment and the disintegration of the Eighth Route Army, we will kill all the Eighth Route Army and avenge our comrades, ah ah ah ah!"

After contacting the rear through a walkie-talkie, Kato obtained permission to lead a squadron of more than 150 infantrymen, more than 30 cavalrymen, 4 motorcycles, and 5 trucks to continue the pursuit.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud trembling of the earth in the east. Kato was startled and lay down instinctively.

Many Japanese soldiers also quickly dispersed and hid.

late.

An infantry artillery shell aimed directly at the densest part of the crowd. BANG! With a deafening bang, the shell exploded, and seven Japanese soldiers were blown away, the most powerful one flying to a height of five meters!

"Quick, enemy artillery," the Japanese soldiers reacted from the panic and pointed to a village 800 meters to the east.

A shrapnel flew past 3 centimeters in front of his eyes, cutting off the nose of a soldier on the other side. A blood mist burst out, and Captain Kato was furious.

"Cavalry, charge, machine gun fire, grenade launchers, mortars!"

The Japanese army immediately dispersed, the cavalry charged quickly, followed by the infantry, and three mortars fired crazily.

During this time, Kato was hit by two more shells. The normal firing rate of infantry artillery is 10 rounds per minute, which is average.

The loose Japanese army formation was killed or injured in the explosion, forcing the team to become even more loose.

"Kill them!" Kato led the soldiers around him and charged forward fiercely.

At this time, all the Japanese vanguard troops left Huangtuling and rushed forward.

The Su Fei cavalrymen who were ambushing in the woods and gullies on both sides quickly mounted their horses. The time had come!

They were still wearing Japanese military uniforms and divided into two groups, with more than 40 people in each group, like a Japanese cavalry squad, urgently chasing the enemy from both sides!

Kato's troops quickly rushed to within 300 meters of the village.

A dozen cavalry soldiers in the village and an artillery group continued to fight.

Keep shooting at the enemy to further irritate them.

A dozen rifles also fired at the enemy.

At this time, in just half a minute, Su Fei's cavalry company had caught up with the Japanese infantry guard. They waved their sabers and chopped with all their might without saying a word!

The enemy was running and had no idea what was happening behind them.

They all kept their eyes fixed on the front, shooting continuously and making skillful bullet-dodging moves, hoping to surround and wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the village in one fell swoop.

As an officer, Kato had a much better living condition, so he was obese and could not run for a long time. He was running at the back, waving his saber and shouting slogans to motivate the soldiers. Suddenly, he felt a cold wind passing behind his head, and he clearly saw the scenery in front of him suddenly rolling!

That's his head chopped off!

Su Fei's cavalry attacked and killed at will. The running Japanese soldiers were completely unaware of the danger. Sometimes, when the war horses rushed past the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese soldiers thought that their follow-up cavalry troops had arrived.

Crack, crack, crack!

The Japanese soldiers running around were caught up by the cavalry soldiers and killed with one blow!

The Japanese didn't even have a chance to cry out.

By the time the Japanese realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The infantry behind were hacked to pieces, and the three Japanese soldiers who survived were terrified and stood there at a loss.

Why did our own cavalry kill us? Is it because of dazzle?

The cavalry caught up with the Japanese trucks and motorcycles.

It is no longer appropriate to use a saber at this time!

There are often three or five Japanese soldiers on the truck, operating machine guns and mortars. How many can you kill with one sword?

They let their horses circle, took out their pistols, aimed at the enemies on the trucks, and pulled the trigger.

Twenty rings!

A hail of bullets swept over quickly, and the Japanese soldiers were all killed as if they were electrocuted!

The truck driver, unaware of the sudden change, continued driving. Su Fei, a cavalryman, caught up with him, aimed his rifle at the enemy, broke the glass from the side window, reached in, and shot the enemy in the head! Bang!

The truck let out a strange roar, rushed forward a few times like a drunken buffalo, and then stopped.

It is much easier to deal with enemies on motorcycles. You can catch up with them quickly on horseback. The enemies are moving much slower because they are shooting while moving forward and the ground is very bumpy.

Su Fei rushed forward and killed the enemy machine gunner with one knife. The Japanese soldiers were in chaos and their motorcycle overturned.

Finally, there was the enemy cavalry.

A cavalry squad.

More than 40 people, this is a very strong force.

These enemies have already encircled the village and are on both sides and east of Su Feijun's position.

Su Fei's troops charged forward, while those behind them dealt with the remaining enemy infantry.

More than 400 meters away, the Japanese blocked the village from a distance.

Su Fei and others immediately dismounted and shot at the enemy.

At this time, Su Fei's troops in the village, including more than ten artillerymen and many cavalry soldiers, shot at the enemy cavalry with rifles.

The Japanese cavalry had originally been trying to block the Eighth Route Army from escaping from the village, but now, they were shocked: "What's going on over there?"

The Japanese cavalry consisted of about ten men on each side of the village, and their strength was extremely small. Under the attack of Su Fei's superior force, more than half of them were killed or wounded in an instant. They fought back while fleeing in panic.

The battle is basically over.

Three decoy cavalrymen were killed and three were injured, and the artillery team was accurately bombarded by enemy mortar shells, resulting in four deaths and injuries.

More than 80 cavalrymen charged and 2 were injured!

A Japanese infantry company was completely wiped out, and the cavalry squad also suffered more than 10 casualties. The rest fled to the east, but they were like fish swimming in a cauldron!

Su Fei immediately asked the soldiers to assemble and collect the Japanese light machine guns, mortars and artillery shells, machine gun bullets, etc. Some soldiers drove and learned to drive Japanese trucks and motorcycles and made an emergency move to the west.

Just after returning to the reverse slope of Huangtu Ridge and waiting for a few minutes, intensive machine gun fire and the roar of artillery shells suddenly sounded from the west. The battle at the bottom of Queen's Ditch had begun!

Sure enough, the second wave of Japanese troops arrived, and dozens of vanguard troops had already swarmed up the mountains like locusts.

Eight light and heavy machine guns and four mortars ambushed on the tops of the mountains on both sides attacked the defenseless Japanese troops in the valley!

"Attack!" Su Fei shouted, and the 9 light machine guns and 1 heavy machine gun that he had just seized were used to fire fiercely at the Japanese army, instantly wiping an enemy infantry squad into pieces!
