Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

The enemy's tracking, reconnaissance and encirclement were all expected.

The battlefield was littered with corpses and artillery and tanks, all of which told Su Fei that this was the enemy's main force. There might be auxiliary forces on the periphery, so the number of troops would not be too large. Even if there were a lot, they would not dare to attack easily now.

The destruction of the Yanshang troops did not scare these devils to death, but it frightened them so much that they trembled and dared not act rashly.

Even if all the other Japanese troops in this area come to surround us, it is no big deal. With so many guns, artillery and ammunition, our troops can fight the enemy to the end and both sides will suffer losses!

Even if I die, I will be a martyr who sacrificed on the battlefield. It is glorious, great and correct!

It was a huge profit and worth it for his hundreds of soldiers to be able to wipe out Colonel Iwagami's nearly two thousand Japanese and puppet troops.

If the enemy comes to besiege us, even better! We can send a telegram, asking the independent regiment and the troops of the second and third cavalry battalions to attack the enemy from behind. With a pincer attack from both inside and outside, the enemy will surely be defeated!

In the dark night, the cavalry's assault power is not to be underestimated. More than a thousand cavalrymen can easily scatter the enemy and cause them to suffer a crushing defeat!

No matter how you look at it, it's a win, so Su Fei is certainly not afraid of the enemy.

The reconnaissance cavalry he arranged in the darkness around him also discovered the enemy situation early and kept informing him in code using walkie-talkies.

Including the slow pace of Su Fei's troops in cleaning up the battlefield and moving, it was all intentional, for fear that the Japanese would not discover them and would not dare to follow them.

Su Fei likes fishing the most, luring the enemy over, occupying the home ground and taking the initiative.

The reconnaissance cavalry avoided the enemy troops and stayed on the periphery of the enemy encirclement.

They are still reporting on the enemy situation.

Although it was difficult to see clearly and we couldn't get close to the Japanese army, we could still get a rough idea of ​​it.

For safety, they abandoned their horses and hid in the dark.

The commander of the first cavalry battalion kept in real-time contact with Su Fei with the troops stationed in Huangcun and Dahuangcun in the northeast. Since the code words on the walkie-talkie were not enough, he used telegrams.

Everyone informed each other of the situation and had a clear understanding of the enemy's situation.

In particular, Su Fei had a grasp of the enemy's military strength.

The few captured Imperial Army soldiers who surrendered were the most vocal. After interrogation, they revealed the approximate strength of the Japanese forces on the southern front: three cavalry squadrons, an independent mortar squadron, and a small machine gun unit. Imperial Army troops were also entrenched and blocking the enemy two or three kilometers to the east and west of the battlefield.

Of course, we can't just sit and wait.

If the enemy figures out the situation and bombards them with artillery fire from a long distance, Su Fei's troops will still be in a passive position.

The most likely scenario is that the enemy does not need to attack, but calls on the air force to launch a massive aerial bombing. In that case, the tunnels, trenches, and anti-artillery holes dug and built by Su Fei's troops will be meaningless!

The fortifications will become your own burial place!

The communications squad intercepted an enemy telegram that had just been sent, but we were unable to decipher it.

This is already very good, which means that the enemy has sent a telegram requesting reinforcements or bombing.

Now is also the time when the enemy is most vulnerable. A force of more than 800 people, divided into three groups, has to surround us 500 meters away. You can see how thin their encirclement is?

The enemy's aerial bombardment also requires waiting. Before bombing, the enemy must light a fire or cover the target with a searchlight, right?

Therefore, the enemy must disperse its forces and lie in wait.

Is this a fight?

No, the enemy is dispersing themselves and waiting to be beaten with their faces raised!

The only unpleasant thing is that the enemy is mainly cavalry, which is very mobile and scattered, so we can't wipe them all out in a quick attack.

Su Fei has plenty of ways.

He immediately used a walkie-talkie to notify the scouts outside the enemy's encirclement, asking them to go to the battlefield and wake up the 50 lurking Wolf Pack soldiers. The enemy did not go there to investigate, which was really beyond Su Fei's expectations. This showed that this old Japanese soldier Kamei was a ruthless character who was good at grasping the main contradictions and was not affected by emotions.

He also used walkie-talkies and telegrams to notify the battalion commanders and others at the other two positions.

Tonight, I'm going to change my tactics and start a hunting operation!

Target shooting competition!

Kill the Japanese one by one.

No matter whether you are Kamei or Guijing, I will turn you all into little ghosts, and let the Black and White Impermanence lock you up and send you to the eighteen levels of hell to be cut into pieces and cooked in oil!

Five minutes later, after confirming that 50 soldiers, divided into three groups, had entered the coordination zone, the three garrison locations turned on the searchlights at the same time.

This is a very risky moment for Su Fei's troops, and they need to pay a certain price.

The bright searchlights are turned on at the same time. There are at least two searchlights in each place. After turning on, they scan the surrounding enemies.

If the enemy fires at the searchlight at this time, it can be destroyed.

In addition, the searchlight scanning exposed the position. If the Japanese army used mortars to bombard fiercely, it could easily cause certain casualties to Su Fei's army.

Of course, Su Fei was also gambling, gambling that the enemy would not attack, shoot, or bombard.

Because the enemy wants to encircle and annihilate us, not defeat us. The enemy is full of deep hatred and wants to avenge the Yanakami troops.

Once the battle started, Su Fei's troops "discovered" that they were surrounded and charged forward directly, completely destroying the weak encirclement of the Japanese Kamei troops.

Sure enough, the Japanese army did not fire any guns or artillery.

The cavalry had dismounted and tied their horses not far away. They had dug individual pits or were hiding in natural ravines.

However, although the enemy's mortar position was concealed, its traces were still exposed under the strong light.

Ha ha.

Strike first and strike later to control others!

Su Fei immediately ordered the searchlights to be turned off, and then adjusted the infantry guns, mountain guns, and mortars, making full preparations.

Then, the searchlight turned on and scanned again, finally stopping at the enemy's artillery position.

Each Japanese unit has an independent mortar team with 6 mortars, all of which are the latest light 81mm mortars, whose performance has caught up with the mortars imported by the National Army. In addition, the cavalry artillery has 2 mortars, all of which are concentrated to facilitate fire support during battle.

The enemy's artillery fire was indeed concealed and could not be seen, but there were too many war horses nearby, and they were carrying artillery fire and artillery shells!

At this time, someone within the Japanese army, around Lieutenant Colonel Kamei, suggested that they start a war immediately, otherwise, the encirclement would be discovered by the Chinese, which would be disastrous.

Kamei rejected his suggestion.

If the Chinese army fired, the scattered Japanese casualties would be minimal. If the Chinese army broke through, then after the Chinese were severely intercepted and killed by rifles and machine guns, all the Japanese soldiers would mount their horses and launch a devastating hunt on the Chinese army! That was exactly his ideal.

However, the ideal situation is to put pressure on the Chinese army, forcing them not to act rashly. When the bomber groups arrive, the ground forces can win without bloodshed.

In this way, Su Fei's army can be completely wiped out without a single person escaping!

More brutal and violent!

More satisfying!

Chinese military searchlights? Hahaha, we don't even need to light a campfire!

As for active attacks, Kamei believed that the effects of a mere eight mortars would be extremely limited in the face of the cunning Su Fei army's fortifications. By the way, if a fierce battle were to take place, would the other Su Fei troops outside come and stab him in the back?

Kamei was confident that their ambush was quite good.

It is true that we cannot directly detect the Japanese army, but no matter how hidden the Japanese horses are, we can still find clues.

Look, the Japanese army had tied up their generals and horses or laid them flat on the ground. They were also covered by trees and tall grass, so they were well concealed and could not be seen normally. However, Su Fei's troops received reports from the scouts patrolling outside and knew the approximate position of the enemy. After a careful look, they found something wrong.

Woo------yo!

The mortar was tested, two shots were positioned, the exact position was confirmed, the firing parameters of other artillery fire were adjusted, and then the enemy's hidden mortar position was aimed at, and a fierce bombardment was launched!

In an instant, the Japanese mortar position was completely overturned, dozens of artillerymen were torn to pieces, and war horses were killed or wounded.

Then, we checked the enemy's machine gun positions. At the confirmed distance, we could still see them using searchlights and telescopes, and the artillery fire started again.

Several shooters, assistant shooters, auxiliary ammunition handlers, etc. of a heavy machine gun were blown away!

The Japanese army did not make any move. Although their hearts were bleeding, they could not give up all their previous efforts. Now that they had no artillery fire, wouldn’t it be courting death to fight back?

The enemy doesn't move?

Playing dead?

better!

15 Wolf Pack warriors and 3 scouts arrived. As soon as the walkie-talkie spoke, Su Fei immediately pointed all the searchlights to the west.

Scan repeatedly to blind the devil's eyes.

The devil couldn't raise his head, and even if he did, he couldn't see anything, it was just a vast expanse of white...

18 wolves are fighting and have appeared behind the Japanese.

The searchlight immediately lowered, illuminating the hidden enemy position but avoiding the wolf pack warriors in the distance.

Su Fei's army in the village began firing rifles towards the inside of the light. They almost missed the Japanese, but it definitely made the Japanese think not to look up, not to be impulsive, and not to show up.

Just when the Japanese were feeling anxious and frustrated and hiding, the wolf pack of soldiers had already arrived beside them.

In order to cooperate with the wolf pack warriors, Su Fei's troops also used mortars on both sides of the actual attack area, occasionally bombing them.

The sounds of gunfire and artillery fire were all coordinating with and covering up the movements of the wolf pack warriors, especially the sounds of gunfire attacking the enemy and the screams that the enemy might make!

When the Japanese army was shocked by the sound of gunfire and was lying in ambush, waiting and cursing, the wolf pack soldiers had already groped their way to their side and saw them clearly. They used the captured enemy sabers, cavalry sabers, or artillery sabers from behind to stab the enemy in the back!

Or, you could just point your pistol at the enemy and shoot him, or you could put your saber to the enemy's neck and yell, "Baga Yalu!"

When the Japanese got angry or frightened, they would instinctively turn around or twist their necks, and then the saber would swing forward fiercely, cutting the enemy's throat!

18 soldiers quickly cleared an area of ​​more than 100 meters.

The enemy's strength was truly weak. The encirclement was one thousand meters in diameter, over 3000 meters in circumference, and consisted of just over 250 men. This worked out to an average of 10 meters per man, not counting the manpower occupied by enemy artillery and machine gunners. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Kamei was right not to act.

His only mistake was being too greedy!

It would be much better if we continue to use the butcher knife tactics, encircle the Su Fei troops with an iron wall, and use an absolute advantage in military force to surround them.

As the searchlights moved, the Japanese soldiers were blinded one by one by the lights, like hibernating toads, losing all vitality and resistance, and waiting to die.

Su Fei's troops were shooting in the village, but they hit empty targets!

In this way, the enemy was quickly killed without knowing it, and the encirclement turned into a delicious donut and was eaten!

In less than ten minutes, most of the Japanese encirclement was eaten up by the wolf pack soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers died, and their weapons, ammunition, and hidden horses were left on the battlefield and became the spoils of Su Fei's army.

This style of fighting is very deceptive. The Japs in other directions are still laughing secretly. You are just firing randomly, not only wasting ammunition, but also exposing your cowardice of not daring to break through. Haha, just wait and see.

The Japanese believed their pits and trenches were perfectly safe, and that Su Fei's bullets offered little threat. The probability of a mortar shell hitting them was incredibly low. Furthermore, Su Fei's bullets were often more than ten, or even twenty meters, in front of the Japanese encirclement. It was truly hilarious. Haha.

Is this considered a precautionary shooting by the Su Fei army? Haha.

Even the lights rarely shone directly on the Japanese soldiers' bodies and eyes, and often shone ahead. It seemed that the Japanese soldiers were not even discovered!

The Japanese army didn't expect that although there was light in front of them, it would be even darker behind them. The Japanese army looked at the light in front of them for a while, and then looked back. Even if the wolf pack soldiers came to them, they could not adapt to the environment for the time being and could not see their traces!

After more than twenty minutes, the battle was basically over.

The enemy's large encirclement on the periphery no longer exists.

But, there is more inside.

The distance between the deserted village where Su Fei is located, the deserted village to the northeast, and the Dahuang Village stronghold is no more than a kilometer. In particular, Su Fei's troops and the Dahuang Village stronghold are only 800 meters apart. In the meantime, in order to cut off the connection between Su Fei's troops, the Japanese also sent some troops to split and lurk.

There are still hundreds of enemies here, right?

What Su Fei didn’t know was that the enemy’s commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kamei, was on the front line right here!

But, danger is coming!

A dull sound of an airplane engine was heard in the sky, faintly coming from far away!

Lieutenant Colonel Kamei was hiding in a ravine on the east side near the main road, laughing in his heart.

He was used to the chaos of searchlights and guns of the Su Fei troops and had grown very contemptuous of them. He kept muttering to himself that he hoped the bombers would blow all the Su Fei troops into garbage!

Using a makeshift telephone: "Mortar team, fire flares at the target village immediately!"

This was planned for a long time, but the phone line... the busy tone was ringing, and no one answered.

No one answered the three calls.

what happened?

He panicked.

So he personally ordered the soldiers around him to send out signal flares.

Flare?

Su Fei and others discovered it!

"Someone, use flares and white phosphorus incendiary bombs to hit that place!"

In the deserted village, for safety, the troops began to evacuate, leaving only a small number of soldiers.

The mortar fired several flares and white phosphorus incendiary bombs at the enemy!

The searchlights are at full power, covering any targets where the enemy may be hiding!

Huhu.

It was as bright as day, and at the same time, the flames of white phosphorus bombs and a large amount of thick smoke made the ground and the enemy unclear.

A few minutes later, a group of Japanese planes flew over and fiercely bombed the area filled with flames...
