Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 354 Are you scared yet? (More votes, understand?)
"Hurry up, gather all those peasants together!"

Li Dafu, the battalion commander of the Jin-Sui Army, stood arrogantly on the stage outside the town.

"You damned scoundrels! How dare you join the G Party in dividing my family's property!"

"Who gave you the audacity? You want the G Party's share?"

“I’m telling you! If you’re going to honestly hand over all the valuables in your house…”

"Then I might spare your lives! Anyone who dares to disobey will suffer the same fate as that local guerrilla!"

Li Dafu pointed to a corpse hanging from a nearby tree and threatened it.

When the Japanese invaders came, Li Dafu served as a puppet soldier. After the Jin-Sui Army returned, he joined the Jin-Sui Army.

So when the G army arrived, they started a purge? And they even went so far as to divide up the land?

Isn't this like digging up the ancestral graves of the Li family?

Therefore, Li Dafu found an excuse and led his men to seek revenge.

Just as Li Dafu and his men were searching house to house, they suddenly heard the faint sound of horses' hooves.

"It's bad, Battalion Commander! It's the G Army cavalry!"

A soldier from the Jin-Sui Army came running over, tumbling and crawling.

"G Army? I'm not afraid of them now!" Li Dafu was very arrogant.

Li Dafu knew perfectly well that Taiyuan was now under the control of the G Army, yet he still dared to cause trouble; he had something to rely on.

He's completely different now than when he was a puppet soldier.

Now his battalion has more than 300 men and a full 6 Type 91 light machine guns!
Are you scared, G Party?
"Assemble immediately!" Li Dafu shouted.

"Brothers! Follow me to the main road and set up camp!"

"I'd like to see if the G Army cavalry dare to break through my machine gun emplacement!"

Li Dafu and his group were already at the town entrance, so they only ran about twenty meters to reach their destination.

"Quickly! Set up your guns! If you see any G soldiers, give them a good beating!" Li Dafu shouted the order.

The Jin-Sui Army soldiers nearby hurriedly prepared themselves.

They had only been using the Type 96 light machine gun for about ten days and were not yet very proficient with it.

A moment later, Sun Desheng led the Third Battalion to the vicinity of Xiaojiadian Town.

"Put-put-put."
Even when they were still more than 300 meters away, the machine gunners of the Jin-Sui Army began to fire.

Sun Desheng was startled by the sudden gunshot.

"dispersion!"

The soldiers immediately began to scatter and take cover.

After retreating some distance, Sun Desheng asked, "Are there any casualties?"

The platoon leaders of the Third Battalion immediately took stock of their men.

"Commander, there are no casualties."

"The Jin-Sui Army's shots were too off-target; none of their bullets hit our vicinity."

"Why is it so crooked? What are the Jin-Sui Army doing?" Sun Desheng scratched his head.

"Commander, who cares? Let's wipe them out and be done with it," said the battalion commander from the side.

“Yes, you’re right, take them down!” Sun Desheng nodded.

"Set up artillery and heavy machine guns in the fire support unit."

"Let's launch a round of firepower and see how the Jin-Sui Army reacts," Sun Desheng ordered.

The Jin-Sui Army had light machine guns, and its cavalry regiments were no pushovers either, with even more firepower.

"Yes!"

The battalion commander immediately ordered the installation of mortars and heavy machine guns.

Three minutes later, as the command flag was waved, the mortars opened fire first.

"Boom!" "Boom!"
The Jin-Sui Army's positions were immediately covered by artillery shells.

"Damn it! How come the G army has cannons? Aren't they cavalry?" Li Dafu shouted, his head bowed.

In his understanding, cavalrymen are those who fight on horseback.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to oppose the G Army with just six light machine guns. However, before Li Dafu could figure it out, the heavy machine guns also opened fire.

"Da da da".
"It's over, the enemy is the main force of the G army," Li Dafu exclaimed in horror.

This unit has both heavy machine guns and mortars; the average G army wouldn't be this extravagant.

"Battalion Commander, what do we do? The brothers can't hold on any longer!" someone shouted from the side.

They're good at bullying ordinary people.

But if they were to clash with the main force of the G army, it would simply come down to who could run the slowest.

Li Dafu heard the shouts and was trying to figure out what to do when he heard someone else shout.

"This is the main force of the G Army!"

"Run!"
The Jin-Sui Army was already on edge, fearing they would fall behind.

Now that I hear someone has jumped the gun, I don't need to waste any more words, I just turn around and start charging in the opposite direction.

"grass!"

Seeing this, Li Dafu had no choice but to run.

Otherwise, I'd be the last one there.

Seeing the puppet troops running away, Sun Desheng put away his binoculars and drew his saber.

"Cavalry! Attack!"

"Kill!"
The cavalry regiment immediately pursued the fleeing Jin-Sui army.

Although the soldiers of the Jin-Sui Army ran very fast, they were like lambs to the slaughter when faced with four-legged cavalry.

They had barely run a hundred meters when the Jin-Sui Army soldiers were overtaken by the cavalry regiment.

By this time, the cavalrymen had seen the situation at the town gate, and everyone was filled with indignation.

Faced with this situation, even without anyone shouting, the soldiers all chose to lay their sabers flat.

With the speed of the horses, the soldiers could simply tilt their sabers and the blood of the Jin-Sui Army could spurt several meters.

Sun Desheng led his cavalry regiment in repeated charges, ensuring that no one survived before stopping.

"Quickly clean up the battlefield," Sun Desheng ordered, reining in his horse.

"Third Battalion Commander, take a company and go into town to see if there are any escapees."

"Yes!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"What is Li Dafu up to?"

Shi Anguo, commander of the 19th Army of the Jin-Sui Army, who was in charge of the defense of the Chongqing area, cursed loudly after learning about the situation in Xiaojiadian.

Despite the fact that Chongqing is the forward position for attacking Taiyuan, its defenses are relatively complete and it has a large number of personnel.

However, Shi Anguo had no intention of provoking the G Party.

Now that the KMT members across the country are making a fortune, why are they going to stab the CCP in the back?
Regardless of whether they could win or not, Shi Anguo didn't think now was a good time.

Wouldn't it be better to surround Shanxi from all sides once the Kuomintang government has recovered?
However, Li Dafu's proactive move has made Shi Anguo feel extremely uneasy.

"Commander, now is not the time to assign blame; we need to prepare for the worst!" Chief of Staff Wei Wenjie reminded him.

"Damn it! First, take down Li Dafu's regimental commander!"

"Order all units to prepare for battle!" Shi Anguo commanded.

He knew the G Party's character very well; they would never just swallow their anger after something like this happened.

This battle was inevitable!

Fortunately, Chongqing's defenses were relatively strong, so Shi Anguo was quite confident in defending the city.

During the War of Resistance against Japan, Chongqing served as a bridgehead for the Japanese army's attack on and blockade of the Taihang base area, and was also an important node on the Zhengtai Railway.
The Japanese built a fairly dense defensive structure here.

"Yes!" Wei Wenjie immediately went out to relay the order.

Besides Chongqing, several surrounding counties also need to be on high alert.

We must prevent the G army from launching a surprise attack and seizing the city.

Once the surrounding barriers disappear, Yu will not be so easy to defend.
