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

The boss Yi Tiao Qianlong continued, "Ding Wei, you have seen it all on the way. The enemy and our stubborn forces are intertwined and complicated, and the situation is very delicate. A few days ago, I revoked your order to study in Yan'an. The reason is, of course, very simple." "At that time, Li Yunlong's troops were in Cangyunling. Although he completely wiped out the Sakata Regiment, he violated the orders of his superiors and did not retreat according to the established route. I originally planned to let you take over the position of commander of the new regiment. However..." At this point, the boss's expression suddenly became strange, and he glanced at the deputy chief of staff. Ding Wei was confused. The deputy chief of staff immediately said, "Boss, let me tell you! The original intention of the superiors was to let Li Yunlong bear some responsibilities and demote him. However, just yesterday, Li Yunlong told the headquarters through Brigade Commander Chen that he had issued a military order!" "Military order?" Ding Wei was surprised.

The deputy chief of staff nodded. "In order to keep his position as the head of the new regiment, Li Yunlong promised the headquarters that within six months he would lead the entire regiment to build a force that could compete with the reinforced brigade. If the military order is not completed, he said that he would come to see the headquarters in person in six months!"

Ding Wei showed a surprised look on his face, "This is not like Li Yunlong's style!"

He and Li Yunlong have been comrades-in-arms for many years and he knows Li Yunlong's character well.

Although he was surprised by the military order issued by Li Yunlong, he also felt that it was not in line with Li Yunlong's way of doing things.

"It was definitely not Li Yunlong's idea!" The deputy chief of staff said with a smile, "According to Brigade Commander Chen, this idea was proposed by a battalion commander named Cao Geng under Li Yunlong. Otherwise, how could Li Yunlong have thought of using a military order to avoid punishment from the headquarters?"

"Cao Geng?" It was the first time Ding Wei heard this name.

But after listening to the deputy chief of staff's words, he immediately agreed, "Cao Geng's mind is indeed more flexible than Li Yunlong's."

Then, he came back to his senses, looked at the commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff and asked, "If Li Yunlong can really form a reinforced brigade within half a year, I'm afraid our Eighth Route Army's situation in northwest Shanxi will be fully opened up..."

"Do you believe that Li Yunlong can really recruit a complete reinforced brigade within half a year?" the deputy chief of staff asked Ding Wei.

Ding Wei smiled and shook his head. "Although I think this is almost impossible, Li Yunlong has always played by his own rules! Regardless of whether he can succeed in the next six months, the New 1st Regiment will definitely make a big move!"

Ding Wei believed that if Li Yunlong intended to establish a reinforced brigade within half a year, he would definitely create something earth-shaking in the following period of time.

Next, all forces in northwestern Shanxi may pay more or less attention to the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

No matter what others think about Li Yunlong's next move, Ding Wei is full of expectations.

At this time, news came from the headquarters that the three battalions of the new regiment had begun to act independently after their respective development.

The signalman came to the commander-in-chief and reported: "After the three battalions of the new regiment developed independently, the performance of the first and second battalions was quite normal. On the first day of the division, they all found their bases first, and then started their respective tasks!"

"But the behavior of the Third Battalion seems a little strange, completely different from the First and Second Battalions!"

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of staff and Ding Wei.

The commander-in-chief asked, "How did the actions of the third battalion differ from those of the first and second battalions?"

The deputy chief of staff and Ding Wei also turned their attention to the communications soldiers.

The signalman continued, "After the Third Battalion left the New First Regiment's base, its first step was not to find a new base, but to head directly towards Wanjia Town!"

"There is a puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town!"

"And intelligence shows that the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment completely occupied the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town in less than two hours!"

"After this battle, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment has been strengthened in terms of weapons, equipment and personnel..."

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of staff and others showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

They obviously did not expect that after a unit developed independently, the first action it would take was not to find a place to settle down, but to directly attack the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town.

Fortunately, this puppet cavalry battalion was successfully captured by the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment.

In this way, the Third Battalion no longer has to worry about its strength and manpower!

It was truly a great start for the new group!

"I remember that the battalion commander of the third battalion of the new first regiment was Cao Geng, right?" the commander-in-chief suddenly asked.

"Yes." Before the signalman could answer, the deputy chief of staff nodded first. His memory of Cao Geng was deeper than that of the commander-in-chief.

"Cao Geng is quite capable. Not only does he have a unique vision in strategy, but his tactics are also so unique!" The commander-in-chief immediately showed a shocked expression.

He felt that he might have underestimated Cao Geng before.

Strategically, Cao Geng suggested that Li Yunlong expand the troops into a reinforced brigade within half a year, although this move was surprising and seemed unreliable.

But this actually completely eliminated the possibility of Li Yunlong being demoted.

Moreover, the issuance of the military order also allowed Li Yunlong to move freely in the northwest Shanxi region in the next six months.

After all, with the military order, we need to recruit soldiers quickly.

No matter what special circumstances arise, the headquarters will turn a blind eye to Li Yunlong.

For the headquarters, this was undoubtedly like letting go of the reins of Li Yunlong's wild horse...

And this matter was undoubtedly pushed behind the scenes by Cao Geng, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment!

In addition, Cao Geng's tactical planning was also very ingenious.

While other battalion commanders were looking for a place to stay,

Only Cao Geng understood the reason why others stored grain while he stored guns!

The commander-in-chief had been through many battles and had his own opinion on Cao Geng's behavior.

He believed that after the three battalions of the new regiment developed independently, it was important for each of them to find a base and settle down.

But seizing the opportunity and attacking decisively like Cao Geng is the more important skill for a general.

The Commander-in-Chief knows.

After this battle, Cao Geng's three battalions will be significantly strengthened in both manpower and supplies.

Although Cao Geng currently has no station,

But with soldiers and weapons, how difficult would it be to find a place to station?

"Cao Geng!" Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief took a deep breath, his eyes were complicated and his heart was shocked.

Unexpectedly, there was such a hidden dragon in Li Yunlong’s new regiment.
