Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Wanjia Town is located at the junction of three counties and is also an important logistics base for the Japanese army between the three counties.

Originally this was the central area of ​​three counties occupied by the Japanese army.

If someone wanted to attack Wanjia Town, they would not only have to face the defense of the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town, but also have to consider the joint counterattack of Japanese troops from three counties.

For this reason,

Even though the combat effectiveness of the puppet cavalry battalion deployed by the Japanese army in Wanjia Town was average,

Whether it was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Eighth Route Army,

Without about a division of troops, no one dared to launch an attack easily.

But this does not mean that Cao Geng will be afraid.

In the original work,

After Li Yunlong took a fancy to the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town, he used blitzkrieg to destroy the cavalry battalion with only one battalion of troops.

Therefore, it goes without saying how weak the combat effectiveness of the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town is.

Cao Geng didn't even need to develop any sophisticated tactics.

After he arrived at Wanjia Town with his troops, he launched a fierce attack on the cavalry camp.

The soldiers of the new regiment are all veterans who have been through many battles.

Faced with the Wanjia Town puppet cavalry battalion with weak combat effectiveness, they did not take it seriously at all.

That's exactly what happened.

quickly,

The puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town began to retreat step by step.

In less than two hours, Cao Geng led the brothers of the third battalion to completely capture the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town!

This battle,

rough estimate,

The soldiers of Cao Geng's third battalion killed more than 200 enemies.

One hundred and sixty-three puppet soldiers were captured!

In addition, he also seized the arsenal of the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town.

I wonder if the Japanese army used the cavalry camp in Wanjia Town as a backup arsenal for the three neighboring counties.

In the cavalry camp's arsenal, Cao Geng had a rich harvest...

He seized 173 lances alone.

In this battle, he also captured fifteen light machine guns!

And besides that,

Twelve grenade launchers were also seized!

Although the number is not very large,

But for Cao Geng's three battalions, this was undoubtedly a huge fortune.

Harvest!

A real harvest!

When the soldiers counted the spoils, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Everyone was full of admiration when looking at Cao Geng.

In addition to the arsenal, captured war horses are also an important strategic resource in the puppet army cavalry battalion!

According to the soldiers' statistics, the total number of war horses was 392!

This made Cao Geng secretly take a breath.

You know, before attacking this fake army cavalry battalion, even if all the brothers in his three battalions were counted, the total number was only 187.

And now.

After this battle, their three battalions had nearly four hundred war horses!

There are more horses than people!

All weapons have been updated too!

Now, even if Cao Geng wanted to arm the entire three battalions into a cavalry team, it would be more than enough!

How could Cao Geng not be surprised!

Wang Huaibao's face was filled with excitement.

On the first day of division, the battalion commander led his brothers from the third battalion to victory.

This is a good sign.

foreseeable,

In the near future, under the leadership of Battalion Commander Cao Geng, their operations will surely be smoother!

"Captain, what should we do with these people?"

Then, Wang Huaibao walked up to Cao Geng and pointed at the 163 puppet cavalrymen in front of him.

Now, Wang Huaibao was completely convinced by Cao Geng.

He saw Cao Geng's bravery when dealing with this group of puppet troops.

At this moment, the 163 puppet cavalrymen were all depressed. They had never expected to encounter a nemesis like Cao Geng today.

Now, their life and death all depend on Cao Geng's decision.

Only they themselves know how desperate they are.

Cao Geng looked at these hundred or so puppet soldiers and felt no good feelings towards them, but he also felt it was a pity to kill them directly.

Then, Cao Geng pondered and said, "God is merciful. I will give you two choices. One is that you will be collectively executed, and the other is..."

Before Cao Geng could finish his words, the faces of the puppet cavalrymen suddenly turned crazy.

“Two, two, two!”

"We choose two!"

“Two, two!”

Wang Huaibao looked at the puppet cavalry in front of him who were braying like donkeys with a strange expression.

This terrible desire to survive!

Cao Geng immediately curled his lips and said, "Okay, from now on, you are the front-line soldiers of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment of the Sanbalu Brigade.

But in peacetime, you may not bear arms!"

In fact, Cao Geng also knew that these soldiers captured from the puppet army cavalry battalion were not truly elite, and might even have second thoughts about his troops.

But Cao Geng didn't care.

After all, those traitors who abandoned their motherland and defected to the Japanese were, after all, just a group of selfish people.

For now, if these puppet cavalrymen want to survive, they can only join his Third Battalion!

In the following battle, even if the soldiers of the third battalion were unwilling to charge, in Cao Geng's view, they were just cannon fodder!

Unless they are truly willing to submit to the Third Battalion.

Otherwise, in Cao Geng's view,

These puppet cavalrymen are just consumables, not real brothers.

As for these puppet troops, they want to rise up in resistance?

Sorry.

Cao Geng's abilities are not just for show.

The Winter Soldier template is enough to suppress any form of infidelity!

However, after incorporating so many puppet troops, the strength of Cao Geng's three battalions has expanded to 350 people!

We have almost doubled our previous number.

At present, Cao Geng’s manpower and weapons have completed preliminary expansion.

Now it finally looks like a proper campsite.

Therefore, his most urgent task at present is to let the brothers of the Third Battalion choose a place to settle down.

Just as Cao Geng was looking at the map and thinking about where to choose as his base, Wang Huaibao came to his side.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

"Choose a location." In response to Wang Huaibao's question, Cao Geng's answer was concise and clear.

Although it was common for the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army to compete with each other for bases, Cao Geng still could not regard Wanjia Town as his own base.

As mentioned earlier, this place is located at the junction of three counties occupied by the Japanese army.

If the Third Battalion dared to occupy Wanjia Town as its base, they would probably be unable to withstand the Japanese retaliation before they could even begin.

As long as the Japanese troops in two of the counties acted together, it would be enough to put the soldiers of the Third Battalion in trouble.

"But before choosing a location, we still have one thing to do." Cao Geng said silently in his heart.
