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

Cao Geng's face immediately turned grim. These devils couldn't capture the county town, so they went to massacre the villagers to vent their anger? Are they still human?

"Go and settle the brother and sister. If they want to join our Third Battalion, keep them!" Cao Geng quickly instructed the company commander.

"Yes!" the company commander agreed immediately.

"Also, calm them down and tell them not to worry. The atrocities committed by the Japanese are intolerable and we will help them avenge themselves," Cao Geng said coldly.

The company commander looked at Cao Geng with gratitude. To be honest, he was so angry about the Japanese's behavior that his whole body was shaking.

I wish I could tear the devil into pieces...

But without Cao Geng's instructions, he dared not act on his own.

At present, Battalion Commander Cao Geng seemed to be planning to avenge the innocent people in the nearby villages, and he could not wait to rush to the battlefield.

Then the company commander left.

At this moment, Wang Huaibao stood beside Cao Geng with a very serious expression.

Like Cao Geng and the company commander, he was angry at the cruel behavior of the Japanese soldiers and wished he could tear them into pieces immediately.

"Battalion Commander, when do we take action?" Wang Huaibao asked Cao Geng.

Cao Geng answered without hesitation: "After we settle the brother and sister, we will prepare to avenge our fellow villagers!"

In fact, their third battalion has been training for some time.

The improvement in combat effectiveness is certain, but they lack practical experience.

The Japanese massacre of the villagers provided the soldiers of the Third Battalion with an excellent opportunity to attack the Japanese!

Driven by hatred, I believe the soldiers of the Third Battalion will soon be able to adapt to the real battlefield.

"Yes." Wang Huaibao prepared to leave.

"And the puppet army in Yongping Town..."

Then, Cao Geng turned his gaze to Wang Huaibao.

"Don't these puppet soldiers want to join us? I originally planned to negotiate with them slowly."

"But now, I don't have the patience to slowly recruit them!"

Wang Huaibao was stunned.

"Captain, what do you mean?"

Cao Geng had a blank expression on his face, his eyes as deep as a bottomless abyss.

"Go back and tell the puppet army contact you contacted before, don't they want to join the Eighth Route Army? Of course! But I have a condition, they must destroy the Japanese military police headquarters in Yongping Town within one day!"

Cao Geng knew very well that the Japanese military police from Yongping Town must have been involved in the village massacre.

After all, Yongping Town is not far from Xiaweidi Village, and they also participated in the plan to attack Huaiyi County.

Therefore, Cao Geng planned to attack the gendarmerie brigade in Yongping Town immediately after clearing out the Japanese in the village!

There's nothing much to say, just get started!

If these puppet troops in Yongping Town really wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, it should not be difficult for them to destroy the gendarmerie headquarters.

But if they don't really want to join, sorry, if they can't destroy the gendarmerie headquarters in one day,

Then when Cao Geng leads his army to flatten Yongping Town, there will be no need for these puppet troops to survive!

Just be buried with the Japanese.

Simply put, Cao Geng took advantage of this opportunity to allow the puppet army troops to prove their sincerity.

After this battle, whether they really want to join Cao Geng's team will soon be revealed!

Wang Huaibao looked at Cao Geng in surprise. He didn't expect him to make such a decision.

"Yes!" However, Wang Huaibao had no objection to Cao Geng's plan and executed it immediately.

Cao Geng quickly gathered his troops.

The three battalions, with nearly 800 men, gathered together neatly for the first time since arriving at Xiaweidi Village. Every soldier could feel the serious and murderous aura from Cao Geng.

Cao Geng told his soldiers the news that the Japanese army had just massacred the village.

After hearing this, the soldiers on the scene all had anger in their eyes!

"These Japs have no conscience! They actually massacred the villagers!"

"Damn it! I wish I could kill these devils with my own hands!"

"Battalion Commander, what are we waiting for? Give the order quickly, let's go teach these devils a lesson!"

Although most of the soldiers in the Third Battalion were new recruits, their hatred for the Japs was deep-rooted.

In the past, they had no weapons and could only succumb to the pressure of the devils. After all, staying alive was the most important thing. But now it is different. They are the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers of the Third Battalion under Cao Geng!

After a period of training, their combat effectiveness was enough to cope with the battlefield. When the Japanese devils were rampant in China, they could stand up and fight against those inhumane invaders, those devil soldiers!

Cao Geng announced: "This is what I want to say! From now on, everyone has a chance to fight! The Japanese devils are too much. They actually did such a heartless thing as massacring a village on our land! We can't tolerate it anymore. Immediately, the soldiers of our third battalion will quickly infiltrate the surrounding villages in companies and platoons to ambush these inhumane devils!"

"When we see the devils, we don't have to show mercy, we just have to destroy them! We, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment, must have our own bloodiness and courage!"

"Of course, when you are in danger, I want to remind you to protect yourself! Only by staying alive can you continue to fight the devils on the battlefield, protect our 400 million compatriots, and protect the land of China from being occupied by the devils!"

As soon as Cao Geng finished speaking, everyone responded in unison.

The eight hundred soldiers were full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm. During these days, Cao Geng not only taught them how to fight in battle, but also taught them that as soldiers of the Third Battalion, they should have the sword-drawing spirit and bloodiness that other troops could not match.

Then, Cao Geng's three battalions of soldiers quickly rushed to their respective battlefields to fight.

Cao Geng began to prepare a plan to attack Yongping Town.

Soon, news on the battle situation at the third battalion's front line kept coming.

Since the soldiers of the Third Battalion were engaged in street fighting with the Japanese, they were more familiar with the terrain of the surrounding villages than the Japanese.

In addition, the soldiers of the Third Battalion were full of hatred towards the devils.

Even though many of the fighters were still novices,

But in the battle with the devils,

They didn't let the Japanese get any advantage.

Sometimes, before the Japs could react, the soldiers of the Third Battalion would quickly send them to hell.

Of course, by the time the devil finally reacted, it was too late...

Because the soldiers of the Third Battalion had already dispersed around the outskirts of the nearby villages, they surrounded the enemy in company and platoon units.

Moreover, after a brief period of discomfort, the soldiers of the third battalion gradually and fully adapted to the battlefield during the battle.

It didn't take long.

The four or five hundred Japanese devils who massacred villagers in nearby villages were successfully captured or eliminated by Cao Geng's troops.

In this battle, Cao Geng's three battalions lost less than a hundred people.

This is a huge victory for the new recruits of the Third Battalion!
