Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

We have met!

Completely figured it out!

All the cadres and soldiers of the New 1st Regiment rushed out and surrounded Su Fei's Third Company. Everyone jumped, danced, shouted and laughed.

Su Fei was also surprised that so many people were alarmed, and he quickly explained to everyone.

When they left the base area, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army's guard force knew about it. However, when they came back, there was no one in that area and they could not be contacted.

They didn't know that when they saw them from a distance, the soldiers and auxiliary militia quietly knocked down the message tree and hid themselves.

Nearly 200 cadres and soldiers surrounded Su Fei and others, listened to their explanations, and then surrounded the truck, touching it here and there, unable to let it go.

Trucks full of high-end luxury goods, food, chickens, ducks, geese, and fat pigs, everything in the Japanese stronghold was swept away.

Light machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, 24 Type 38 Japanese rifles, more than 40 ordinary rifles, and plenty of bullets!

The key is that the third company of the first battalion suffered zero casualties!

Yes, you read that right. There were zero casualties. They killed a Japanese garrison squad of 13 people, plus 25 reinforcements, a total of 38 people. They also captured three Japanese truck driver soldiers alive.

A lieutenant-commander's saber, pistol, binoculars, etc.

It also shocked and mobilized several former puppet soldiers to willingly join the Eighth Route Army.

Harvest!

Big win.

Apart from anything else, the sheer amount of weapons and ammunition seized alone would be enough to envy all the other companies of the New 1st Regiment, no, all the other battalions!

These weapons and ammunition would be the best equipment for a reinforced company during the heyday of the new regiment and when it is fully equipped and staffed!

The key is that there are enough bullets. A total of more than 2 Japanese machine rifle bullets were seized.

When the New 1st Regiment was blocking the Sakata Regiment, it also seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. However, the bullets were quickly consumed in the fierce fighting. A large number of guns had to be abandoned on the road because of the hasty breakout and the exhaustion of bullets. The soldiers responsible for carrying the weapons and ammunition suffered heavy casualties. This loss was also one of the reasons why the Eighth Route Army Headquarters angrily punished Li Yunlong.

If they had followed headquarters' orders and retreated to the rear, they could have carried with them the vast quantities of weapons captured in the tug-of-war and preserved their victories. Li Yunlong, impulsively, launched a frontal attack. Although he managed to break through the encirclement and kill a large number of enemies, including the Japanese regiment commander, which was a satisfying sight, he was pursued relentlessly by the Japanese and blocked through multiple blockades. Not only did his casualties increase dramatically, but he also lost most of the captured weapons and ammunition. The losses were enormous!

It is right that Li Yunlong is held accountable by the headquarters.

It is indeed personal heroism and reckless and risky behavior, and must be punished.

Now, the New 1st Regiment is badly damaged, with few soldiers and generals, and especially lacking weapons and ammunition. It is at its weakest point. Su Fei's First Battalion Third Company's significant victory is really a timely help!

After thoroughly understanding the situation, Zhang Dabiao hugged Su Fei and almost strangled him to death in excitement!

The team leader Ding Wei's eyes were moist.

"A strong general has no weak soldiers. Li Yunlong is no ordinary person, the New 1st Regiment is no ordinary person, and Comrade Su Fei has created myths and miracles! I want to learn from you and, at the same time, summarize my experience, report to my superiors, and promote it to other units!"

He shook the hand of a plainclothes soldier vigorously in thanks, but the man embarrassedly said he was a Japanese prisoner and an interpreter, and begged with a grimace, "Captain, can you please let go? You're not holding a hand, you're holding a pair of pliers!"

After being shoved by the artillery squad leader for a long time, Zhuzi walked into the crowd, pulled Su Fei, and begged in a low voice with a red face, "Can you give us a few of the mortars, no, shells, that we just captured from the Japanese? We are friends."

Do you want the cannon or the shells? Or both? Su Fei asked.

Zhuzi was stunned, and almost died of happiness: "I dare not take it all, just give a little, you are exchanging your lives for it!"

Su Fei immediately announced that all the captured mortars, grenade launchers and related artillery shells would be sent to the artillery squad for the artillery of our regiment.

Zhuzi was so happy that he kept sniffling: "Goudan, Brother Goudan, you are really nice. I told you from the beginning that you are not an ordinary person. Even though you wet your pants on the battlefield for the first time, you are actually a..."

The artillery squad leader let out a strange cry and rushed over, hugging Su Fei and biting him, rubbing his tears and snot all over Su Fei's face.

The translator couldn't stand it any longer: "Brother, you're going crazy like this and it's going to be a disaster."

He originally wanted to say that someone would die, but halfway through he remembered that he was a traitor and a prisoner, and he got nervous and dropped a word.

The officers and soldiers burst into laughter: "Artillery Squad Leader, take a break! The traitorous translator said that if you continue to act like this, you'll make Comrade Su Fei pregnant! Haha. It was the translator who said that, not us."

A group of people laughed so hard that they fell over.

The artillery squad leader quickly threw it away, feeling embarrassed, and turned serious: "Don't mention it, my cousin is sixteen years old this year, the only one in ten miles. I'm going to go back and tell my aunt to marry my cousin to Comrade Su Fei, because this guy has excellent character!"

The truck team, surrounded by the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, returned to the regiment headquarters in a mighty procession. The cadres and soldiers of the regiment were as lively as if it were New Year's Day, especially when the regiment commander Ding Wei ordered the soldiers to slaughter pigs and sheep to improve their lives. The scene was even more exciting.

The captured horses also enriched the cavalry squad, making the squad leader so happy that he shamelessly said, "Comrade Su Fei, actually, I have a very beautiful sister..."

Su Fei waited until everyone calmed down, and once again reported the tactical and strategic ideas of this operation to Regiment Commander Ding Wei and Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao, emphasizing that the infiltration and camouflage operations of the Japanese Yamamoto Ikki Special Forces were extremely crazy and extremely dangerous, and might very well pose a serious threat to our Eighth Route Army headquarters and cause serious losses to our troops guarding the headquarters. We must not be complacent. We must despise the enemy strategically and take every enemy seriously tactically!

"Huh? Hold on, wait. That's brilliant, brilliant!" Captain Ding Wei was stunned and quickly took out his pencil and notebook to write it down. Zhang Dabiao repeated what he said over and over again, praising him profusely.

Su Fei once again urged Captain Ding Wei to immediately alert the brigade headquarters and other teams as well as the headquarters, asking them to be vigilant against the special operations methods of the enemy special forces.

"Special tactics are an extreme form of assault and guerrilla warfare. They use a small number of highly sophisticated equipment and soldiers to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, launching independent raids and decapitation operations. It's a brand-new tactical method that often produces unexpected results..."

After two days of rest, Su Fei's company set out again.

The extreme success of the sneak attack on Hanzhuang gave Su Fei's company operational autonomy. Before the battle, they did not need to report their battle plans and programs to the regiment and battalion headquarters and could take action directly.

Attack Hanzhuang stronghold again!

Because according to intelligence, in the past two days, the Japanese army retaliated in Hanzhuang, burning, killing and looting, destroying the entire village. A large number of villagers were killed by the Japanese army, women were taken away as comfort women, houses were burned down, and some young and middle-aged people were taken away as coolies.

Su Fei is determined to take revenge on the Japanese!

To avenge the people of Hanzhuang.

After all, the suffering of the people was related to the fact that he hurt the Japanese!

The Third Company of the First Battalion now has 30 people.

In addition to a few defected puppet troops as reinforcements, the regiment also rewarded several new recruits and gave them priority for replenishment.

The entire company was deployed 3000 meters away from the enemy stronghold. Su Fei ran alone in front, with people chasing and shooting behind him!

Yes, it’s the same old deception tactics.

Don't be afraid of the devils seeing through it.

Because all the Japanese who knew the inside story were wiped out, and the puppet army and militia were retaliated by the Japanese, either dead or injured, or transferred to other places, Su Fei was not worried about any accidents.

When we got closer, we found that the entire village of Hanzhuang was charred!

No man’s land, it’s so scary.

Warning shots were fired from the artillery tower, and the bullets popped like popcorn around Su Fei.

Su Fei held up a small flag made of a white shirt and waved it hard at the Japanese artillery tower.

After a while, several Japanese soldiers came over and monitored Su Fei.

Su Fei quickened his pace and ran to the walled courtyard under the artillery tower.

Wow, there are so many devils.

A whole team!

There were more than 30 people in the compound, plus patrols on the wall, soldiers on the roof of the watchtower and inside, at least 50 people.

Several Japanese soldiers surrounded Su Fei, pointed their bayonets at him, and interrogated him loudly.

Su Fei immediately chatted with the devil in fluent Japanese, "I am a secret plainclothes agent sent by the Special High Section of the Imperial Japanese Army. I sneaked into the Eighth Route Army and assassinated the leader of the Eighth Route Army. Unfortunately, I was discovered."

The devils looked at each other in bewilderment.

The team leader came down from the village wall and ordered a body search. The Japanese searched Su Fei's body all over but found nothing.

"Where's your ID? How do you prove it? And your place of origin, your family, your entire undercover history..."

Su Fei started to argue with the Japanese, revealing many secrets of the Eighth Route Army, such as the unit numbers, troop strength, officer names, age, some internal information of the Eighth Route Army, and how Li Yunlong of the New 1st Regiment defeated half of the Sakata Regiment and killed the Regiment Commander Sakata Nobutsu...

Su Fei spoke very fluently, and the Japanese soldiers felt that there was no loophole, so they took notes while asking questions.

At this moment, a Japanese soldier shouted, "Captain Nakata, Eighth Route Army, Eighth Route Army!"

At that time, all 30 cadres and soldiers from the third company of the first battalion came, with 12 rifles and 3 pistols. They approached the Japanese stronghold to within 800 meters and fired at the Japanese army.

The Japanese stopped interrogating and basically believed Su Fei's words.

Because they believed that no Chinese person would be brave enough to go alone, unarmed, into the Japanese army's lair to chat and defraud!

What's more, this person's Japanese level is really good, which is beyond the reach of most Chinese people.

The Japanese squad leader asked Su Fei what was going on with the people who followed him.

Su Fei said, "I was discovered by them, and they came to hunt me down. I assassinated three of their officers there!"

While speaking, suddenly, Woo woo woo!

All the Japanese troops in the stronghold were stunned!

Because it was the sound of mortars.

"Hurry and take cover!"

The Japanese army immediately went into different places, including the watchtower, the bunkers behind and below the western wall, and some lifted up the steel plates on the ground and went into specially made dugouts.

"Kill him!"

Following the Japanese squad leader's shout, the Japanese army also began to fight back fiercely.

There was a mortar, light and heavy machine guns, and the battle was very lively.

Su Fei was actually forgotten.

Wochao, you guys are really big.

Su Fei showed a smug smile with a bit of disappointment, and immediately took action and entered the bunker under the west artillery tower.

It was a small room separated by shooting holes on the outside, with one or two Japanese soldiers in each room.

All the Japanese soldiers in the east went to the west, and more than a dozen of them rushed out of the village gate and set up defenses in the trenches outside.

Su Fei entered one direction and slapped the shoulder of a Japanese soldier who was concentrating on aiming. When he turned around to check, bang, a heavy punch hit his nose, making him see stars and dizzy.

The brick in Su Fei's left hand flew over and hit the Japanese soldier in the head.

He took away the Japanese's rifles and bullets, took off their clothes and put them on himself, and dragged them into a dark corner.

Su Fei swaggered out, walked into another room, and shot a Japanese soldier in the back who was shooting out through the shooting hole. Bang, the Japanese soldier fell dead.

This time, a pistol was also seized.

Next!

In this way, he killed all 13 Japanese soldiers in a squad in the bunker under the village wall.

Then, he rushed to the artillery tower.

The gun tower has five floors!

There were Japanese soldiers on every floor observing and shooting in front of the shooting holes and lookout holes. He attacked from behind and killed them all with one blow.

All the way up, on the ceiling, there was a Japanese heavy machine gun. Four Japanese were shooting, the chicken-neck heavy machine gun was clucking, there were two shooters, an ammunition handler, an observer and a guard.

Su Fei had seized two pistols and pointed them at the ammunition handler and the Japanese soldiers who were observing the effect. Bang, bang, headshot!

The two devils fell forward, dead.

The Japanese soldier who was shooting was concentrating on shooting, and the assistant gunner was feeding ammunition but turned a deaf ear to it!

Su Fei seized the Japanese soldier's saber, and with one blow, he chopped off a head. The deputy gunner turned around with his eyes wide open.

puff!

Blood erupts like magma!

When Su Fei went down the artillery tower, he met the Japanese squad leader and a soldier. They went up the stairs while cursing, asking why the soldiers on the artillery tower didn't shoot.

Su Fei pressed his pistol against the enemy's forehead, and the soldier was stunned: "Huh?"

Boom!

Su Fei returned to the village wall. The wall was very wide, equivalent to a city wall. Several Japanese soldiers were lying inside and shooting from the battlements, but they were all killed by Su Fei.

Standing here, Su Fei's nose was crooked with smiles, because there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers outside the trench, lying in a long snake formation, acting stealthily. They were probably waiting for the Eighth Route Army to approach, and then they would suddenly attack and catch the Eighth Route Army off guard.

Using a rifle and firing at the enemy in bursts is like shooting at a living target, only at a distance of five to twenty meters!

The Japanese soldiers actually lay there motionless, waiting to be beaten. Anyway, there were constant gunshots from the Eighth Route Army, which attracted the Japanese soldiers. The gunshots around them were also from 38 rifles, so it was not surprising.

It was not until the last three Japanese soldiers that they felt something was wrong. One of them turned around and saw Su Fei and exclaimed.

Su Fei shot him, knocking out his front teeth and knocking him to the ground.

The two Japanese soldiers were awakened and looked at Su Fei.

Su Fei couldn't kill two birds with one stone, so he shouted: "The Eighth Route Army is making a surprise attack! Quick, over there!"

The two devils were deceived and too sensitive to the Eighth Route Army. They looked forward again and were killed by Su Fei!
