Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Bastard, bastard!

Are you idiots blind? Why are you bombing your own people?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Ah!

Cursing and twitching in despair, Lieutenant Colonel Kamei was pierced by shrapnel again and again. Blood spurted out, and he rolled like a tumbleweed and fainted.

Many Japanese soldiers around him, along with their horses and many items, were blown into corpses, powder, and air by the 250-pound giant bomb of the Army Aviation!

Almost all the Japanese troops hiding in the area between the three strongholds of Su Fei’s troops escaped.

The bomb load of the twelve large bombers was terrifying. After the bombing, they used cannons and machine guns to repeatedly strafe and bomb the ground until all their ammunition was completely used up and there was nothing left on the ground. Only then did they give up.

"Return home, the enemy has been completely wiped out!" The Japanese bomber captain triumphantly informed his pilots by radio and left happily. They wanted to go back and ask for rewards because the bombing effect was very good!

"Board, board! The empire is mighty, and its power is spread far and wide!" The other pilots and bombardiers also howled conceitedly, almost breaking the radio signal.

They never dreamed that they would bomb their own people.

The enemy plane flew away, and Su Fei and others, who were hiding hundreds of meters outside the deserted village, immediately returned.

Thanks to the ancestors of these little bastards, your uncle doesn’t have to do anything.

Clean up the battlefield!

It took more than an hour to basically finish the cleaning, and another hour to finish it all.

The battlefield is too big, there are too many devils, and the spoils are too rich.

After sending out a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to stand guard, Su Fei's troops returned to the village, dragged back dozens of horses killed by enemy planes, cut their meat and grilled it, smeared it with salt and chili sauce, and ate it with great pleasure.

It feels so good, so good, so good.

The statistical results were very close to the intelligence of the puppet army prisoners. After two large-scale battles, a Japanese infantry battalion of more than 1100 people, a regimental artillery company of more than 150 people, an independent mortar battalion of 400 people, three cavalry companies plus the cavalry regiment headquarters, cavalry artillery squadron, machine gun company, auxiliary baggage unit, tank squadron, etc., more than 1200 people, and an Imperial Army battalion of more than 400 people, a total of 3300 people were wiped out (more than 200 people may have escaped).

More than 2700 intact bodies were found on the battlefield, as well as a large number of fragments caused by artillery fire and bombing by Japanese aircraft, and more than 50 puppet soldiers were captured.

All enemy equipment was seized, including 6 mountain artillery and infantry guns, 52 mortars, 6 machine guns, 45 light and heavy machine guns, 36 grenade launchers, and more than 850 war horses and draft horses.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Su Fei was overwhelmed just thinking about this result.

And I still feel scared.

With a cavalry battalion of more than 300 people and a temporary infantry battalion of more than 500 people, a total of only more than 800 people, they killed 3000 enemies?

Before the war, it was unimaginable.

After calming down after the war, I couldn't believe it myself.

Before the battle, Su Fei estimated that the enemy might have only one infantry battalion, but who knew that they also had 70% of a cavalry regiment, an independent mortar battalion, and an Imperial Army infantry battalion...

After the battle, Su Fei could only secretly rejoice and give himself a 150-point score!

No, the key to victory is the special forces attack of the wolf pack warriors, the efficiency is terrifying!

Victory has been achieved, and the situation has completely changed!

Three-quarters of the main force of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army was wiped out, one-third of Colonel Kuranaga's field infantry regiment was wiped out, and the enemy's independent artillery battalion was completely wiped out. The enemy still had an infantry battalion and a cavalry squadron deeply involved in the battle of Hulu Valley. The enemy only had one infantry battalion left in its mobile force, and it had to be stationed to protect its territory, making it difficult for it to pose a threat to Su Fei's troops.

After eating, drinking, having fun and relaxing for more than an hour, all the soldiers regained their energy and spirits.

Su Fei decided on his next move.

Immediately send an order to the 3rd Cavalry Battalion, asking them to leave Hulu Valley and come here to support.

Not to mention anything else, even the captured guns, ammunition, and horses, they can’t be taken away, right?

After the battle, more than 150 people were killed or injured. Caring for the wounded was very troublesome and required a large number of manpower. Moreover, Su Fei had to fight for victory to the end.

The main force stayed behind, and he led a mixed cavalry company, which included a cavalry platoon, an artillery platoon, and a machine gun platoon, to form an eastward attack group. Under the leadership of several Imperial Army prisoners, they approached an Imperial Army infantry battalion stationed on the enemy's eastern front.

As the reconnaissance moved forward, the captured Imperial Army soldiers shouted, demanding that the idiot battalion commander surrender immediately with his troops, or lay down his weapons and get out.

Unexpectedly, the battalion commander of the Imperial Army was a die-hard traitor. He ordered the shooting and fired indiscriminately, killing one Su Fei cavalryman on the spot and injuring three others.

"Quick, hide!"

Su Fei's cavalry suffered heavy losses while they were relatively concealed and paying attention to their safety. They were indeed careless and underestimated the reactionary and complexity of the puppet army.

"Shoot, shoot, hit hard, and beat these rotten fish and shrimp to death!"

10 mortars bombarded the enemy fiercely!

The machine gun platoon also fired fiercely with 10 light machine guns.

In an instant, the position of a puppet army company was in chaos. Within half a minute, more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded. The rest threw away their rifles and fled for their lives.

The other two companies of puppet troops, seeing that the enemy's firepower was so ferocious, completely penetrated their psychological defenses. They believed that the Eighth Route Army must be the main force, with at least one regiment or even two regiments. Otherwise, how could there be so many mortars?

"Brothers, run! The main force of the Eighth Route Army is coming."

run?

no way!

Su Fei ordered to take out the secret weapon.

Three large searchlights were instantly turned on, scanning the enemy. The bright lights enveloped them all, illuminating them clearly.

The puppet troops could also see the road ahead clearly and ran very swiftly, but Su Fei's cavalry platoon was faster and outflanked them from both wings. "Surrender immediately, otherwise, we will be machine-gunned."

As soon as he finished speaking, the machine gun fired fiercely again, shooting down many puppet soldiers.

revenge!

The cavalry overtook them, outflanked them on both wings, and the machine guns roared from the front, frightening the more than 130 surviving puppet soldiers into kneeling down and surrendering.

Tie them together with ropes, remove the bolts of their guns, and let them carry their weapons, ammunition and a large amount of supplies on their own backs to act as transport soldiers!

Five members of the Japanese advisory group supervising the war were killed by artillery shells, and the rest committed suicide in despair.

The puppet soldier who reported the hidden Japanese military supervisors was praised and promoted on the spot to deputy director of the puppet army prisoner of war management, and concurrently served as deputy squad leader of the special operations brigade infantry battalion.

Special Operations Brigade?

So kind?

The puppet soldiers complained that they had been forced to fire by their superiors and the Japanese war supervision team, and now they regretted it and were willing to join the Eighth Route Army to redeem themselves from their crimes.

The enemy on the eastern front was eliminated, and more than 240 rifles, 1 machine gun, 2 grenade launchers, more than 20 pistols, rounds of ammunition, a number of grenades and hand grenades, and 11 mounts of Japanese advisers and puppet army battalion company commanders were confiscated.

Return to the west and rush towards the puppet army position 3000 meters away to the west.

Tactically, you must take every enemy seriously.

They contacted the Third Battalion by walkie-talkie, and waited until the Third Cavalry Battalion had set up an interception line on the western front. Su Fei's troops hid themselves thoroughly and carefully before allowing the puppet army prisoners to shout. After being rejected, they used searchlights to scan, exposing the enemy's position, and bombarded the enemy's trenches with 15 mortars.

The puppet army could not contact other troops and had already become frightened birds. In the chaos of artillery fire, they took the opportunity to break away from the Japanese supervision team and ran away. They were intercepted head-on by the 3rd Cavalry Battalion and all captured.

The Japanese supervisory team resisted stubbornly, but was beaten into pig heads and captured by the puppet army who were eager to surrender!

At this point, most of the Japanese army's largest mobile corps, the mixed regiment led by Colonel Iwagami, with a total of 4100 Japanese and puppet troops, were wiped out!

After the meeting, Su Fei felt relieved.

It’s not easy, it’s so thrilling.

So much spoils were finally saved.

The troops moved to a hilly and forested area 3000 meters to the west. After resting until dawn, they grilled and boiled horse meat, ate and drank their fill. Each person carried two days' worth of cooked dried meat as rations, and then moved on to Hulu Valley.

The transportation and transfer of more than 180 dead and injured horses is a big problem.

Fortunately, the nearly 500 captured Imperial Army soldiers became the best baggage train.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Su Fei led two cavalry battalions with more than 600 people to a place 1500 meters east of Hulu Valley and encountered the Japanese army.

The Japanese army quickly assembled a cavalry squadron of more than 170 people, which stretched across the front to form a combat formation.

Su Fei personally led a cavalry company to observe the enemy in front.

The Japanese cavalry were arrogant. All the soldiers carried long spears and waved sabers, flashing in the sun as if they were dancing. Every time they danced, they reflected patches of snow light, which made it difficult for the soldiers of Su Fei Cavalry Company to open their eyes.

A Japanese cavalryman galloped over, his eyes looking upwards, his lips tightly pursed, and he spoke in a very arrogant manner: "I am here on the orders of Captain Kishitani to challenge you, the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Kishitani Cavalry Squadron?

Ha ha.

Su Fei looked back and asked the Japanese cavalryman to appreciate the appearance of the cavalry soldiers of the special operations brigade.

The Japanese soldier took a quick look, his frown gradually relaxing as he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. "As expected, they don't dare to fight. They are all new recruits with no more than three months of horseback training! These cavalrymen are no different from infantrymen on horseback! One of our cavalrymen from the 4th Brigade, a veteran of the Imperial Japanese Army, can kill three of you! One squad can wipe out an entire platoon, and one squad can wipe out an entire cavalry battalion!"

The Japanese cavalry had a very sharp vision and could easily see the quality of the cavalry company of the special operations brigade.

Yes, the Special Operations Brigade Cavalry Regiment is full of new recruits!

However, the Japanese were obviously provocative and provocative, with ulterior motives, hoping to provoke Su Fei's anger and engage in a cavalry decisive battle with them.

Bah. Who would fall for your trick?

I'm here to defend my country and fight for victory. Who would argue with a little idiot like you?

Su Fei smiled slightly: "Your 4th Cavalry Brigade is indeed very powerful, the elite and pride of the Japanese Empire, well-trained and with amazing combat effectiveness! I personally admire you!"

The Japanese cavalryman was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Fei to praise them, and immediately smiled.

Su Fei changed the subject: "What a shame, such elite cavalry is not used to protect the safety of the people of their own country and ensure their well-being, but instead comes to bully the Chinese people and kill innocent people. How cruel and insane, worse than beasts!"

The devil's lips trembled: "If you have the guts, then start a fight. Only cowards curse!"

Su Fei shouted, "Cavalry is a type of military force that has been eliminated by all nations. You are still relying on it. It's foolish and ignorant. Well then, we will use the Chinese cavalry to teach you a lesson! I agree. Let's start the war. Cavalry battle! Start the war immediately. Do you dare?"

The Japanese cavalrymen were secretly delighted, and while mocking Su Fei for being timid, they rode back.

Afterwards, at a distance of 500 meters, both sides further deployed their troops. Among the 170 Japanese cavalry squadrons, more than 150 of them actually had war horses and were able to charge and kill. The rest were machine gun teams, equipped with 2 light machine guns, 1 mortar, and 2 grenade launchers, belonging to the fire support group.

The 110 cavalrymen of Su Fei's unit were also arranged into three horizontal rows and three vertical battle groups. The soldiers brandished their sabers and imitated the Japanese army, reflecting the flashes of their swords and fighting back against the enemy.

They are the First Cavalry Battalion, and they all use the same snow maple sword!

Moreover, through hard training, his combat skills improved rapidly.

Even so, Su Fei would not fight to the death like Sun Desheng, attacking and attacking again until his entire army was wiped out.

It’s not that Sun Desheng is stupid, but they have run out of bullets and can only fight with knives.

Su Fei ordered the machine gun company and the artillery company to prepare for battle. Behind the lined infantry, 30 mortars and 30 light machine guns were ready.

It turned out that they were going to fight directly, but I didn't expect the Japanese to do this.

The Japanese want to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, but Su Fei can't let them do that.

However, our cavalry must be baptized by blood on the battlefield.

"Start the war!"

"attack!"

110 Su Fei cavalrymen lined up and charged towards the enemy!

More than 150 Japanese soldiers also lined up and rushed towards this side.

It looked like a loose charge across the mountains and plains, with great momentum, giving people a suffocating psychological impact!

The sound of horse hooves beating the earth like drums.

Dust filled the air.

The war horses are all exactly the same Japanese improved war horses, tall, mighty, agile, and powerful. Their long manes are raised in the wind, and their four hooves are moving vigorously, creating a dynamic and exciting picture.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Is it a draft----"

"Onboard!"

All the cavalry on both sides gathered their strength and entered a frenzy.

Combat with cold weapons is the most challenging test of a person's psychological endurance, because it is too cruel!

The Sufei cavalry all stretched out their voices, expanded their throats, and shouted repeatedly using the most brutal words, suppressing the fear in their hearts.

kill!

Bang bang bang bang!

The sabers collided, making a harsh sound of metal scraping and rubbing, or a crisp collision, or the dull sound of the saber piercing flesh, or an instinctive scream.

One round!

Both sides quickly turned around and charged again.

There were more than 30 wounded soldiers and dying bodies lying on the ground.

Judging from their military uniforms, there are more than 10 of each.

Su Fei's cavalry was shocked. Even with the Snow Maple Sword, they couldn't win?

The Japanese Kishitani cavalry were even more shocked. How could the Chinese Eighth Route Army, rookie cavalry, actually fight them to a draw?
