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

Wang Huaibao was more "realistic" and didn't notice the change in Kong Jie's expression. He just smiled and said, "The battalion commander said that if Commander Kong insisted on leaving, we wouldn't force him to stay, but he could have a meal with the brothers in the camp before leaving." Cao Geng was very enthusiastic. Kong Jie was a well-known figure in northwest Shanxi after all. Although he was the weakest one, Cao Geng had heard of him for a long time. It was reasonable for him to stay for a meal.

Kong Jie was immediately anxious when he heard this: "Who said I'm leaving? I want to stay! I must stay! Isn't it just a company commander? Even if it's a platoon leader, I will continue to work in the Third Battalion!" Now that Kong Jie has seen the strength of the Third Battalion, he no longer cares about his position. He is full of curiosity, how did the Third Battalion accumulate so many resources in such a short time and recruit so many soldiers?

In the past, he didn't take Cao Geng's Third Battalion seriously...

Starting today, he will observe carefully in the Third Battalion to see how Cao Geng leads his troops.

Wang Huaibao laughed immediately.

Then he took Kong Jie to continue visiting the Third Battalion.

However, the news that Kong Jie would stay in the Third Battalion as company commander soon reached Cao Geng.

Battalion command post.

When Cao Geng heard the news, a smile appeared on his face.

He didn't expect Kong Jie to actually stay.

In this way, with Kong Jie joining, the strength of their third battalion will increase rapidly.

This is a good thing.

Maybe in the future, Kong Jie can become his trump card.

……

Headquarters.

The news that Kong Jie planned to become the company commander of the Third Battalion soon spread here.

Hearing this, both the commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff were surprised.

You have to know that no matter how poorly Kong Jie performed before, he was still the commander of their Eighth Route Army.

The commander-in-chief originally wanted Kong Jie to be the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion.

But unexpectedly,

Cao Geng actually gave up the position of company commander to Kong Jie.

"This Cao Geng...only gave Kong Jie the position of a company commander. What's even more surprising is that Kong Jie really stayed in the Third Battalion!" The commander-in-chief was quite surprised.

"But it's better this way. Since he is willing to be a company commander in the third battalion, let him work there!" The deputy chief of staff smiled.

"Perhaps it would be a good idea to let Captain Kong Jie go to the Third Battalion for some training!" The commander-in-chief also nodded with a smile.

In fact, both the commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff knew that under the leadership of Cao Geng, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment was growing at a rapid pace.

The Third Battalion has its highlights.

Although Cao Geng is only a battalion commander now, in the commander-in-chief's mind, his status is already equal to that of regimental commanders like Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Kong Jie was able to settle down temporarily in the Third Battalion, which was a good opportunity for Cao Geng and Kong Jie to learn from each other.

After Kong Jie and Cao Geng have fully worked together, the momentum of progress of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment will be even stronger!

……

After settling Kong Jie, Cao Geng trained the soldiers of the third battalion as usual.

At the same time, his intelligence system was constantly monitoring the enemy situation within a radius of 100 miles.

When Kong Jie first arrived at the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment, he was still a little uncomfortable.

But soon, Kong Jie was deeply moved by the sword-drawing spirit displayed by the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment in daily training.

Moreover, as a company commander, Kong Jie is also very busy at work.

Soon, he was integrated into the Third Battalion.

one day.

Cao Gengzheng and the soldiers are conducting daily training at the base.

But soon,

The scouts from the third battalion brought back a message.

There is something unusual going on over there with the Japanese!

Upon hearing the news, Cao Geng's face changed suddenly.

He quickly called a meeting with Wang Huaibao and company commanders to discuss military intelligence.

Company commanders Wang Chengzhu, Wang Xikui, Sun Desheng, Kong Jie and others formed a circle around Cao Geng...

Cao Geng's expression became very serious.

He glanced at the people around him and said, "Our intelligence shows that the Japanese are very active on the Zhengtai Railway!"

"They often transport various military supplies to Huairong County!"

"They've sent five trains in the last three days!"

"Every time the trains are loaded with military supplies! Moreover, every time they transport so much supplies, the Japanese will send a whole regiment to escort them!"

"I suspect the devils might be planning something big. What do you think?"

Hearing what Cao Geng said, everyone immediately frowned.

Five truckloads of supplies were transported in just three days?

And every time they transported goods, there was a reorganized regiment of Japanese devils secretly protecting them?

No one would believe it if you said that these Japanese devils had no special intention in transporting supplies.

but,

What Cao Geng and his companions want to know now is why the Japanese want to transport so many supplies?

Wang Huaibao tried to analyze it: "Battalion Commander, could it be that the Shanxi Suiyuan Army led by the 358th Regiment put too much pressure on Huairong County, causing the Japanese to be desperate, so they plan to launch a counterattack against the Shanxi Suiyuan Army?"

Ever since Cao Geng seized all the military supplies of the Yongping Town Brigade, the Japanese had suffered repeated defeats against the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Huairong County.

Especially in recent times.

Chu Yunfei's Jinsui Corps had already advanced its base to a place only fifteen miles away from Huairong County.

This is really an enemy at the gate!

If Chu Yunfei and his men wanted, they could attack Huairong County at any time.

If the Japanese really wanted to counterattack the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which was mainly composed of the 358th Regiment, under such circumstances, it would not be impossible.

but,

After hearing what Wang Huaibao said, both Cao Geng and Kong Jie frowned slightly.

Cao Geng looked at Kong Jie and asked, "Captain Kong Jie, what do you think?"

Kong Jie shook his head: "Battalion Commander, do we need so many supplies just to deal with a large force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army? Do we need to send a special regiment to escort them?"

Cao Geng looked at Kong Jie, and Kong Jie also looked at Cao Geng.

"You know, the power of a regiment cannot be ignored. If the Japanese have the time, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to use this regiment and the defenders in Huairong County to launch a counterattack against the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"
