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

Shock mixed with reluctance, this is the current situation of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army! In reluctance, they are also filled with shock! After all, no one expected that a battalion of the Eighth Route Army could defeat two Japanese battalions and occupy Huaiyi County. And within one day, they completely wiped out the two battalions of Japanese troops. This is simply too unbelievable, like a cheat!

No, that's not right! Cheating is not that exaggerated!

Later, after being shocked by the brilliant results of the Third Battalion, many officers and soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army developed a keen interest in the origins of this battalion.

"Who is the commander of the Eighth Route Army who led a battalion to sweep across Huaiyi County?"

The officers and soldiers of various units of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army began to feel confused.

They didn't know when such a brave man with such fighting power appeared in the Eighth Route Army.

Just as the Jinsui Army near Huaiyi County was reacting to Cao Geng's capture of the county,

In Daxia Bay, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters also received the news.

"What? Cao Geng captured Huaiyi County with only one battalion?"

At this moment, hearing the telegraph operator's report, both the commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of general staff looked shocked.

In fact, the Daxiawan headquarters did not pay special attention to Cao Geng's actions this time.

After all, in addition to paying attention to the division of troops in the new regiment, they also have to deal with a large number of affairs every day.

But Cao Geng's movement was too loud.

A battalion of troops actually occupied Huaiyi County, which the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had been unable to capture for a long time!

The moment Cao Geng completely occupied the county town, this news caused a sensation among the forces in northwestern Shanxi.

Countless forces called the Eighth Route Army headquarters, wanting to know the specific situation.

But the problem is...

The Daxiawan headquarters was also confused by the news.

You ask me, who should I ask?

However, the headquarters quickly found out the situation and confirmed that it was Cao Geng who led the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment to pacify Huaiyi County.

The moment they heard the news, both the commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of general staff could not believe it.

no way.

A battalion of Cao Geng, even with some puppet troops from Wanjia Town, had no more than 300 people.

However, even though Huaiyi County had suffered heavy losses from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, there was still an entire regiment of Japanese troops stationed there.

Compared with the Japanese troops, Cao Geng's troops seemed insignificant.

Even so, he used 300 people to fight against a Japanese regiment, which was two battalions, and he was attacking a city, but he actually won?

When did the Japanese army become so easy to deal with?

The commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff were confused.

You know, it took Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment nearly ten days to win the tug-of-war between it and the Sakata Regiment.

Even so, Li Yunlong was still happily thinking about applying for commendation from the headquarters.

But what about Cao Geng?

He had only three hundred men under him.

The only weapons they had were the puppet army equipment seized from Wanjia Town.

But they defeated a Japanese army regiment in Huaiyi County within one day?

For a moment, the commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of general staff both felt their throats tighten.

This is incredible!

Even storytellers wouldn't dare to make up stories like this!

However, the truth is so wonderful.

It didn’t just happen.

"Hiss, Cao Geng is really strong."

The deputy chief of staff also began to be surprised.

He realized that he had previously underestimated Cao Geng's abilities.

Originally under Li Yunlong's command, he only thought that Cao Geng was a potential battalion commander.

But since the victory in the battle of Huaiyi County, he felt that even many commanders of the Eighth Route Army might not be as good as Cao Geng in combat skills.

However, what is puzzling is that Cao Geng was previously unknown in the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, due to selfish motives, Li Yunlong did not report Cao Geng's performance in Cangyunling to the headquarters.

Therefore, neither the general manager nor the deputy chief of staff knew anything about Cao Geng's past.

Now, since this little battalion commander frequently attracted the attention of the headquarters, the deputy chief of staff had to start paying attention to him.

"Boss..." The deputy chief of staff looked at the boss.

The boss looked serious and naturally understood the deputy chief of staff's intention.

In fact, he and the deputy chief of staff had the same idea.

In fact, he attached more importance to Cao Geng.

This is a talent that can rival Li Yunlong.

The Eighth Route Army is in urgent need of talents and cannot let him be wasted as a battalion commander.

"Pass on the order. From now on, I will collect all the historical data on Cao Geng! Find as much as I can find! This person... should not be just a small battalion commander! But remember, don't alarm Li Yunlong! Let him concentrate on recruiting soldiers!"

The boss knew very well that if Cao Geng had such a record, Li Yunlong would definitely resist if he forcibly transferred him away.

The boss got a headache when he thought about Li Yunlong's possible stubbornness.

Therefore, it is best not to touch Li Yunlong for now, but to investigate Cao Geng's background first.

"Yes! Boss, I'll do it right away!"

“Hurry up! I must get all the information tomorrow!” The boss set a time limit.

“Yes! Boss!”

Soon, the boss's order came down.

The staff at the headquarters began to investigate Cao Geng's past.

After all, the Eighth Route Army had too few combat-oriented generals.

If Cao Geng's information meets the standards, the boss plans to promote him.

At the very least, Cao Geng's status should be equal to that of Li Yunlong.

At the same time, the headquarters was shocked by Cao Geng's fighting ability.

The 358th Regiment.

Chu Yunfei of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army naturally also received the news from Huaiyi County.

"What? A battalion of the Eighth Route Army destroyed the Japanese positions stationed in Huaiyi County?"

When Chu Yunfei heard the news, his eyes widened and he was almost stunned.

No one knew better than Chu Yunfei, the commander of the top regiment of the Jinsui Army, the strategic importance of Huaiyi County to the Jinsui Army.

That's why he was so shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes, Captain."

On the side, Fang Ligong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, he was equally shocked by the news!

"Have you found out the origin of this Eighth Route Army?" Chu Yunfei asked.

Unlike other officers and soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, although Chu Yunfei was shocked when he heard the news, he quickly suppressed his inner fluctuations.

Then, he couldn't help but think of more things.
