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

In this battle, Cao Geng's Third Battalion took less than an hour to wipe out the entire Japanese brigade!

After the battle, the faces of the soldiers of the Third Battalion were filled with joy.

"We won another game!" Many brothers from the Third Battalion were very excited.

You know, one Japanese battalion is equivalent to the entire strength of their new regiment!

The total number is about one thousand people.

however,

It was these thousand-man elite Japanese troops.

In less than an hour,

They were quickly defeated by their three battalions!

How could this not excite them?

Previously in Cangyunling, the New 1st Regiment attacked the Sakata Regiment and it took nearly half a month before it completely wiped out the enemy with the assistance of Battalion Commander Cao Geng.

But under the command of Battalion Commander Cao Geng,

The soldiers of the third battalion wiped out a Japanese battalion in just one hour!

In terms of the ratio of numbers, this battle was almost the same as their battle against the Japanese at Cangyun Ridge.

If we extend the time to a day,

Their three battalions combined actually captured a regiment of troops originally stationed in Huaiyi County!

In addition, there was the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town that Cao Geng had led them to attack before.

Today’s battle results of the Third Battalion can be said to be unprecedentedly rich!

They had never achieved such a result before.

But today, they did it!

So terrible!

When everyone realized this, everyone at the scene was shocked.

The soldiers of the new regiment never expected that they had such great potential.

All this is because their Third Battalion is under the command of Battalion Commander Cao Geng!

Of course, when all this happened, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were all shocked.

At Cao Geng's urging, they also did not forget to collect the Japanese army's equipment.

Although this entire brigade of Japanese soldiers did not carry many weapons.

The number of weapons they destroyed was countless.

But for the Third Battalion, no matter how small the gain is, it is still a gain.

Moreover, the equipment of this large group of Japanese troops alone was enough to arm all the soldiers of their third battalion, with some left over.

Therefore, they would naturally not miss the opportunity to seize Japanese equipment!

When everyone had sorted out the Japanese army's equipment, Cao Geng was naturally very happy.

In just one day, he won weapons and wealth for his three battalions.

In fact, the equipment they have is enough to equip at least five third battalions!

How could this not make him happy?

However, Cao Geng did not lose his mind due to excitement.

He knew that now that the weapons were ready, the next step was to quickly expand the team.

Recruit new soldiers!

New soldiers must be recruited as soon as possible!

Cao Geng was not clear about the situation of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the New 1st Regiment.

But he was confident that with these equipment and weapons, recruiting new soldiers for the Third Battalion would be easy!

"Tonight, we will enter Huaiyi County! We will consider the stationing issue tomorrow!"

Afterwards, when the soldiers of the third battalion had finished resting, Cao Geng came in front of everyone and made an announcement.

There was no way. He had been fighting and collecting equipment all day and had no time to find a base.

I can only return to Huaiyi County to rest.

In an instant, the soldiers of the entire Third Battalion cheered loudly!

"Long live the battalion commander!"

In the past, when the Eighth Route Army was looking for a place to station, they could usually only settle in rural areas. When was there a precedent for using a county town as a base?

However, on the first day of the new regiment's independent development, Battalion Commander Cao Geng led them to capture a county town!

A county seat.

Although they understand that they may not be stationed here for long in the future.

But the Third Battalion showed such momentum on the first day of the division, which made them feel proud!

happy!

Fun!

After this battle, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment will surely become famous locally!

Following the battalion commander, there is indeed meat to eat!

In an instant, everyone looked at Cao Geng with eyes full of admiration.

Before Cao Geng led them to battle, their impression of Cao Geng was just that of an extremely brave warrior.

Then, after a whole day of fighting led by Cao Geng, they not only destroyed the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town, but also cleared out the enemy forces in the entire Huaiyi County.

They felt that their battalion commander truly deserved the title of battalion commander.

For such a battalion commander, they are willing to pay the price of their lives! Then, under the command of Cao Geng, the whole team began to return to the city and prepare to settle down! At this time, the news that Cao Geng led the three battalions to win consecutive victories in one day also spread rapidly throughout the northwest of Shanxi!

That’s right, it wasn’t just the small-scale fame that the soldiers of the Third Battalion had imagined, but the entire northwest of Shanxi knew about their brilliant achievements! The neighboring Jinsui Army troops got the news first, and they were deeply shocked!

"A battalion of the Eighth Route Army actually captured Huaiyi County?"

“How could this happen?”

Many officers and soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army were surprised. Although they knew that it was a battalion of the Eighth Route Army that captured Huaiyi County, they did not know which unit it was and who the battalion commander was. However, these details were not important. The fact that a battalion could capture Huaiyi County made the officers and soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army doubt reality.

"Aren't there two Japanese battalions stationed in Huaiyi County?" they were puzzled. However, no one at the scene could explain their shock.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had such a reaction. After all, they had fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Huaiyi County for more than half a year, but in the end the city was occupied by an Eighth Route Army of unknown origin. How could they not be unwilling?

However, after the shock, they felt nervous again. Huaiyi County was originally an important base that the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army repeatedly emphasized to seize, but now it was seized by the Eighth Route Army. If this news reached the commander-in-chief, wouldn't the Shanxi Suiyuan Army lose face? After all, the well-equipped Shanxi Suiyuan Army was defeated by the Eighth Route Army, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the commander-in-chief.

Of course, if it was other enemy forces that occupied Huaiyi County, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would certainly fight back to save face. However, the Eighth Route Army was a friendly army. If this Eighth Route Army battalion insisted on defending Huaiyi County, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army might have no choice but to accept reality.
