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

"This Cao Geng!"

Then, the boss was speechless for a moment.

He was really surprised by Cao Geng's actions.

He believed that Cao Geng's talent was even beyond that of Li Yunlong, the commander of the New 1st Regiment.

The deputy chief of staff understood the general's feelings and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Cao Geng is in our Eighth Route Army. If he joined other troops or was in the enemy army, he would be a powerful enemy that we have to guard against!"

"That's right." The boss agreed deeply, "I think it's really unfair to let Cao Geng be the battalion commander..."

……

Of course, just when the general and the deputy chief of staff were shocked by Cao Geng's recruitment speed.

Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka also received news that the Japanese army was retreating in Huairong County.

After learning about this, his face turned very ugly.

"Damn it."

Yoshio Shinozuka, who usually does not show his emotions, was unable to suppress his anger this time.

In fact, he had high hopes that the Japanese army would concentrate its forces to attack Huaiyi County.

After all, Huaiyi County was of great strategic significance to the Japanese army's suppression of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

However, because the Japanese army was not good at protecting the supplies in Huairong County, a large amount of supplies disappeared out of thin air?

Then, after a series of reactions, their troops stationed in Huairong County were actually beaten back step by step by a ragtag army of China?

Now, a brigade and a regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have managed to suppress the Japanese army back to Huairong County?

After learning all this, how could Yoshio Shinozuka, who had originally had high hopes, remain calm?

Below, the Japanese colonel in charge of commanding the attack on Huaiyi County could not help but tremble with fear.

He did understand the strategic significance of this battle to the Japanese army.

But he also didn't expect that the supplies he secretly hid in Yongping Town would be stolen by others.

What kind of luck is this?

Is he particularly unlucky?

"General..." The Japanese colonel was about to make an excuse.

However, Shinozuka Yoshio was not interested in listening to his explanation.

"Has it not been found out yet which unit hijacked the supplies?" asked Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Not yet..." The Japanese colonel showed a frustrated expression.

"No matter what, the failure of this march is your responsibility, do you understand?" Yoshio Shinozuka said with a gloomy face.

Cold sweat dripped down the Japanese colonel's forehead.

In this battle, they dispatched a brigade of troops.

With so many troops, it should be more than enough to deal with a brigade and a regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

But now, they were defeated.

Moreover, if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army occupied Huairong County, it can be said that the Zhengtai Railway would also be threatened by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army.

If he had to bear all the responsibility, how could he bear it?

Thinking of this, he simply hated the mysterious army that attacked Yongping Town...

Even though he was very resentful, there was nothing he could do.

He is the top leader of this operation.

The battle was lost.

The responsibility lies entirely with him.

"I understand." The Japanese colonel looked frustrated.

After this battle, even if he doesn't die, he will probably be demoted.

Of course, the final result depends on the mood of Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka.

But if he is lucky enough to survive.

All his life he would search for the damned mysterious army that had stolen his army's supplies.

Moreover, he vowed to completely destroy this force no matter what the cost.

The outside world's reactions to Cao Geng's occupation of Yongping County varied.

In Xiaweidi Village.

After defeating Yongping Town.

Of course Cao Geng was not idle either!

Cao Geng has been paying attention to news from the outside world.

He learned that during these three days, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Japanese Army had another large-scale battle near Huaiyi County.

In this battle, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army unexpectedly suppressed the Japanese offensive.

In just three days, the Japanese army seemed exhausted and had even been forced to the vicinity of Huairong County by the troops led by Chu Yunfei.

How could he not understand that there might be something wrong with the Japanese army's logistics?

Then, Cao Geng thought of the large amount of supplies he had consumed in Yongping Town three days ago.

His expression turned odd.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Could it be that the supplies he consumed in Yongping Town three days ago were the life-saving materials that the Japanese army did not have time to transport back to Huairong County?

However, Cao Geng did not think too much about it.

After all, as mentioned before, when he began to devour the supplies of Yongping Town, it showed that he didn't care where these supplies came from or where they went.

Now, these supplies are in Cao Geng's hands and belong to him.

Now every soldier in the third battalion has a rifle and every soldier wears a cotton coat, which makes Cao Geng feel satisfied.

It can be said that the current material supply of the Third Battalion far exceeds the needs of the soldiers he recruited from the Third Battalion.

In fact, based on the existing supplies, Cao Geng considered that he could recruit a new regiment.

Besides.

He was very happy when he received the intelligence that the Japanese army was defeated so badly by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Of course he was happy to see the Japanese army being beaten up by Chu Yunfei.

Of course, during the three days after Cao Geng returned to his base after capturing the Yongping Town Gendarmerie Battalion, his men were not idle either.

Since most of the soldiers in the Third Battalion are new recruits, they will inevitably have an adaptation period when suddenly experiencing actual combat.

Therefore, during these three days, Cao Geng forced the soldiers of the third battalion to enter actual combat status.

Let Wang Huaibao lead everyone to attack the Japanese strongholds within a radius of 50 miles, so that everyone can get familiar with the real rain of bullets.

During these three days, the soldiers under Cao Geng became more and more proficient in combat.

Some new recruits can even compete with veterans.

This is also what Cao Geng is happy to see.

Of course, he sent the Third Battalion to attack the Japanese stronghold near Xiaweidi Village. In addition to wanting the new recruits to quickly adapt to the battlefield, he also had another plan.

Cao Geng's actions were also a response to the Japanese army's massacre of the village three days ago.

Three days ago, he only cleared out the Japanese troops who massacred the villagers and the gendarmerie brigade in Yongping Town.

However, the Japanese troops involved in the massacre were not limited to the team in Yongping Town.

There were other Japanese troops who also participated in the massacre!

It is now impossible to verify which specific troops were involved in the tragedy.

So Cao Geng simply ordered the brothers of the Third Battalion to launch a crazy attack on the Japanese strongholds within a radius of fifty miles around Xiaweidi Village.

Anyway, his Third Battalion now has sufficient weapons, ammunition and supplies.

Even enough to form a new group.

Even if some supplies were wasted, he was fully capable of taking them back.

Today, there is no trace of Japanese troops within a radius of fifty miles of Xiaweidi Village.

Cao Geng's three battalions were also thoroughly trained.

Even new recruits can adapt to various combat situations.
