Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

"Kill!" Both sides were enraged!

The original screaming and shouting was to suppress the fear in the heart, but now, it is to vent the anger in the chest!

The violent cavalry group rushed towards the enemy!

Two billowing clouds of dust, flashing with the brilliance of the sun, with the clanging of iron hooves, rushed towards each other like two clouds.

The powerful inertia of the charge knocked many cavalrymen from both sides off their horses.

On the ground, anyone who was not completely unconscious would immediately swing their sabers and hack at each other!

There were flashes of swords and sabers, shouts of people and neighings of horses, heads rolling and arms flying!

Only after both sides rushed across the battlefield and looked back did the first round of battle truly end.

There were more than 40 more corpses and wounded soldiers on the ground.

Su Fei's cavalry company lost 16 people, and the Japanese Kishitani cavalry lost 27!

When both sides regrouped and observed the corpses and wounded soldiers on the battlefield, they once again fell into deep confusion and shock. Both sides felt that they had been careless and suffered a great loss.

Su Feijun: The Japanese devils are really fierce.

Kishitani Jun: The Chinese Eighth Route Army are not weak at all.

Su Fei Cavalry: We are much taller than the Japanese soldiers, and our sabers are also carefully made. They are five centimeters longer than the enemy's. An inch longer, an inch stronger!

Kishitani Cavalry: The Chinese army is made up of rookies, so why are they so strong and skilled? They're even more powerful than our veterans who've been training for three years?

However, the Japanese army had more than 30 more cavalry than Su Fei, so even if they lost 11 more people, it would not be a big deal.

The Japanese squadron leader, Taro Kishitani, had a dark face and was shaking with anger.

What a shame, what a shame.

The elites of Japan's last ace cavalry brigade were no match for a group of Chinese Eighth Route Army soldiers?

Ah ah ah ah ah!

After a brief reorganization, he mobilized all officers and soldiers, requiring them to display their military prowess, make good use of their skills, strive to completely annihilate the Su Fei cavalry, and maintain the honor of the 4th Brigade. By the way, he emphasized that the Su Fei cavalry's sabers were a little longer than theirs, but in the battle, they had already gained the upper hand.

"We must promote speed and skill, not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Chinese!"

what?

Some of the other Japanese cavalrymen deeply resonated with this, while others suddenly realized it and quickly came up with various ways to defeat the enemy.

They vowed to chop all the cunning Chinese soldiers who tampered with their swords into meat paste!

shameless!

Shameless!

Both sides attacked again and rushed towards each other.

However, when they were 100 meters apart, Su Fei's cavalry suddenly reined in their horses and turned around to run away.

The Japanese army was overjoyed.

ecstasy.

Surprise.

The Chinese army is finally scared!

They were finally overwhelmed by us in terms of momentum.

"Kill them!" The Japanese army roared together, and more than 110 soldiers rushed forward like a tidal wave, roaring and sweeping over.

When the Japanese army chased for more than 300 meters and was more than 300 meters in front of Su Fei's infantry team, more than 80 Su Fei cavalrymen suddenly split into two wings and fled horizontally. On the wide field, the proud Japanese Kishitani Cavalry Squadron was revealed.

Without time to react and without knowing what was happening, the vanguard officers and soldiers of the Kishitani Cavalry Squadron discovered that the Su Fei infantry suddenly crawled up, revealing the weapons hidden behind them!

"Oh no, enemy, enemy, machine guns, lots of machine guns, lots of mortars..." The first Japanese cavalryman frantically called the police.

late.

30 light machine guns, 30 mortars, fire together!

Machine guns strafed the Kishitani Cavalry Squadron, and mortars attacked the enemy's remaining fire support group and the Japanese infantry units further away.

Hundreds of cavalry battalion soldiers, who hid their horses and fought against the infantry, also fired at the Japanese with rifles.

Amid the popping sounds of machine guns and rifles, more than 110 Kishitani cavalrymen fell down like wheat being cut!

Real people fall on their backs.

Some cavalrymen were killed and fell off their horses. Some war horses had their legs broken by metal jets and suddenly fell down, throwing the Japanese soldiers on their backs off and crushing them. Some Japanese soldiers and war horses were covered in blood, stopped and shook twice before falling down together.

That's horrible!

It’s so relaxing.

So dreamy.

Hahaha!

Su Fei successfully used cavalry combat to eliminate the vigilance of the Kishitani Squadron, and finally eliminated them at the fastest speed.

At this point, Su Fei's troops fought many battles and wiped out two regiments of the Japanese Army's 4th Cavalry Brigade! This was equivalent to completely annihilating an entire enemy cavalry brigade!

The fire support provided by the Japanese cavalry squadron was also turned into dust by the Su Fei mortar unit, and the Japanese infantry group hidden hundreds of meters behind also suffered a devastating blow.

The Japanese army was unaware of the powerful firepower of Su Fei's army, and actually used simple trenches and individual pits, which had no defense capabilities against the indirect fire of the Type 97 81mm mortar.

They never dreamed that the Chinese army could possess firepower even more intensive than that of the Japanese army.

They had not seen such a dense barrage of artillery shells since the invasion of China!

It fell from the sky, with sharp cries and the earth roaring.

The entire battlefield was in an uproar.

Isn't this the scenario where the imperial artillery and air force would sweep and suppress the Chinese army?

Ahhh.

About an infantry squadron was badly damaged.

After the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese soldiers emerged from the dust one after another, only to see corpses and pieces of meat everywhere around them. The entire land and dust were dyed red, and the air was filled with the strong smell of offal and the stench of feces.

A Japanese sergeant was driven crazy by the explosion.

He walked out of the trench nervously, wiped the blood off his face, and sang songs from his hometown.

While singing, he called for his mother.

Other Japanese soldiers who had managed to escape the artillery disaster were also infected and frightened by the war, and began to cry quietly.

You won't cry until you see the coffin.

Only when a crocodile is captured and eaten by a tiger or leopard will it feel guilty!

The desolate cries and shouts echoed for a long time on the burning battlefield, madly washing away the glory and spirit of the so-called Imperial Army Field Division Kuranaga Infantry Regiment.

In order to save face, the angry Japanese squadron commander shot him through the heart.

"Cavalry Company, attack!" Su Fei rode on a tall warhorse, shouting loudly and waving his saber.

He also experienced today's bloody cavalry battle. In just one short round, it was full of dangers. Thanks to the five-centimeter snow maple knife and the cover of his comrades around him, at least two soldiers sacrificed their lives to cover him.

His eyes were filled with tears and his heart was filled with endless passion!

"Attack, attack!"

More than 70 cavalry soldiers who survived the war formed a dispersed attack formation and rushed towards the remnants of the enemy's infantry company.

Soon, they arrived there, charging and killing wantonly!

The Japanese army was frightened, and more than 30 Japanese infantrymen crawled out of the trenches and fled to the Japanese positions on the right.

When the machine gunners and artillerymen were killed and the entire combat system collapsed, several Japanese soldiers fired their guns, only to find that the bullets were jammed and even the gun barrels were twisted and unusable.

Rifle and machine gun parts are everywhere!

There was also a Japanese soldier who finally pulled out a rifle from the dust, but his smile stopped abruptly because it was half broken.

Ah!

The Japanese soldier was furious.

On the right side of the Japanese position, Japanese infantry were lurking in the trenches, at a loss.

If they attacked the Su Fei Cavalry Company, they would expose their target and become cannon fodder covered by artillery fire.

Their position was originally intended to encircle and blockade Hulu Valley in the west, and the trenches they dug were higher on the west side and lower on the east side. Now, they were in an awkward situation.

The Japanese army had a lot of artillery fire, but it was all directed towards the west.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army in Hulu Valley to the west has also launched a counterattack to tie down the Japanese army.

The independent regiment learned through telegrams and walkie-talkies that the Su Fei Cavalry Regiment was coming to attack the enemy, so naturally they had to cooperate tacitly.

On the battlefield, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were personally observing from behind hidden rocks and watching the situation.

"Crazy, crazy! There are so many cavalrymen here. Where did that brat Su Fei get so many war horses? Did he rob the Japanese? How many Japanese soldiers are there for him to rob?"

"How many mortars do they have? How many machine guns? How can they fire so many at once? If I had so many cannons, I would have wiped out the Japanese First Army long ago!"

"This kid is so stupid! He actually went head-to-head with the Japanese cavalry. What a waste! How difficult is it to train cavalry? How can he be even more of a waste than that Sun Desheng?"

"Nest! Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao, hahaha, look at this, Su Fei, this kid has so many tricks up his sleeve, he actually tricked the Japanese, it's really deceptive, it's too deceptive, all the Japanese cavalry were fooled! Hahaha!"

Li Yunlong commanded his troops to attack the Japanese army, and more than 10 mortars bombarded the Japanese army.

This improved Type 97 mortar of the Japanese army has a maximum range of 3800 meters, while the maximum range of the mortar commonly used by the National Army is only 1400 meters.

It turned out that Li Yunlong had not used the mortar in order to save ammunition, hide his strength, and lure the Japanese into a fierce attack.

When the Japanese army launched a fierce artillery attack, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in Hulu Valley hid in solid rock caves and tunnels, waiting for the enemy infantry to attack. They easily made way for the Japanese army to enter the valley, and then launched a fierce beating!

The roar of machine guns and the whistling of artillery shells intercepted the Japanese army's subsequent attacking forces and mowed down the Japanese troops that rushed in.

Li Yunlong's independent regiment has wiped out a Japanese infantry company.

The Japanese army was very surprised.

Colonel Kuranaga, commander of the infantry regiment, was commanding on the east side. He had an infantry battalion, four infantry combat squadrons, plus baggage, engineering, communications, medical, and battalion headquarters, all of which were quite powerful. However, for encirclement operations, he had to divide his forces. He deployed an infantry squadron, a battalion artillery squad, a cavalry squad, and a machine gun squad on the western front, and three infantry squadrons, a cavalry squadron, a machine gun squad, and some affiliated troops on the eastern front.

After discovering the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, he did not care because he was anxious to take revenge on the Independent Regiment and was also waiting for reinforcements from Colonel Iwagami.

What he wanted most was the four mountain guns of the regimental artillery company. They had a long range and great power, which could suppress the independent regiment in Hulu Valley. Moreover, their rate of fire was much faster than that of infantry guns. In addition, there was the independent mortar battalion, which had a total of 36 mortars, more than half of which were improved Type 97 81mm mortars. They were extremely powerful and had a faster speed. They were perfect weapons for attacking strongholds. How did he let that cavalry waste Colonel Iwagami take them away?

He originally thought that Colonel Iwagami could lead the mobile corps to quickly clear out the Eighth Route Army troops cruising around the periphery, completely cut off the reinforcements of the Hulugu Independent Regiment, and ensure absolute victory. Unexpectedly, Colonel Iwagami could not be contacted.

The battle last night was so fierce that he thought Colonel Iwagami's troops would definitely win because they had an absolute advantage.

However, in the early morning, when things quieted down over there, they received news from Captain Noda of the infantry battalion stationed in the encirclement of Baijia Town, saying that the defeated soldiers had fled there and Colonel Iwagami's mobile corps had been severely damaged.

The highest commander of the Japanese army, Colonel Gao Wuxun, also received the news and was extremely shocked. He ordered Colonel Kuranaga to hold the Hulu Valley area and cut off the connection between the Eighth Route Army's internal and external troops to lure the outer Eighth Route Army to attack.

Once he entangles the outer troops of the Eighth Route Army, causing great losses and angering them, Gao Wuxun will immediately arrange for reinforcements to attack from both sides!

In the sky, send out clusters of planes for bombing; on the ground, dispatch all of Noda's battalion to the battlefield!

Therefore, Captain Cang Yong sent a cavalry squadron to intercept Su Fei's reinforcements head-on, and used the most traditional and ancient provocation to issue a declaration of war to start a cavalry battle. The purpose was to irritate Su Fei's troops and prevent them from escaping easily.

The problem is that what Colonel Kuranaga didn't expect, and Colonel Gao Wuxun thought of but couldn't believe, was that the Su Fei troops had captured too much. Their equipment was now at its best, far exceeding the normal standards of the Japanese army!

Forty years later, the Japanese army formed a standard that if they were at a disadvantage during a battle and were retreating or dying in battle, all weapons and ammunition had to be destroyed to prevent the Eighth Route Army from using or replenishing them. Gao Wuxun and Colonel Kuranaga both believed that during the fierce battle, most of Colonel Iwagami's troops must have been killed in battle and their weapons and ammunition had been destroyed. Even if the Su Fei troops and other peripheral Eighth Route Army troops won, they would have suffered heavy losses and would have been very weak.

Without a long period of rest and replenishment, they would not be able to pose a threat to Cangyong's troops.

The Japanese army was still complacent and careless.

When Su Fei's troops arrived at the battlefield, there were two cavalry battalions with more than 600 soldiers. One cavalry battalion was hidden, and the cavalry battalion that went into battle was also a fully equipped cavalry company. The other two companies abandoned most of their war horses and only carried a few pack horses.

The goal is to narrow the target.

Don't scare the enemy.

Su Fei was determined to destroy all the enemies.

He was also worried that the target was too large and that enemy planes would bomb it, which would quickly change the battlefield situation and cause his troops to suffer heavy losses.

Quick battle!

Su Fei also took the initiative to accept the challenge of the Japanese army, using new recruits to fight against the enemy's elite cavalry. After paying a certain price, he used superior firepower to annihilate the enemy.

Both sides are scheming against each other.

Colonel Kuranaga was extremely panicked and immediately sent a telegram requesting Gao Wuxun's air support and Noda's infantry battalion to rush to the rescue immediately.

After a battle, his troops were reduced to a mere handful.

There were three infantry squadrons. One was attacking Hulu Valley but was lured and killed. Another was covered by mortar fire and was basically destroyed. Only one infantry squadron and a group of miscellaneous troops were left. The most conspicuous cavalry squadron was completely wiped out!

"Dig fortifications, take cover, keep fighting, and wait for reinforcements."

The Japanese army completely withdrew its front line.

But, it's too late.

Su Fei and Li Yunlong attacked from the east and west, using the cavalry company to charge, exposing the enemy's firepower points and positions, and the mortar group bombarded crazily.
