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

Li Yunlong glanced at Cao Geng in surprise. He knew about this just after he arrived at the New 1st Regiment?

But Li Yunlong didn't take it too seriously. "That's true. We wiped out the Sakata Regiment. I was thinking of going back and applying for some rewards for the soldiers."

Having won a great victory, he is still proud of it.

Cao Geng shook his head and said, "Captain, this is a bomb..."

"Let's put aside whether the New 1st Regiment can fight or not. What will the commander-in-chief think of disobeying orders on the battlefield?"

"If word spreads that our New 1st Regiment has been rewarded for disobeying orders on the battlefield, what will other troops think?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned.

Based on his understanding of the commander-in-chief, what Cao Geng said made sense. This incident might really be a bomb.

Cao Geng continued, "Therefore, I think it is hopeless for our New First Regiment to receive commendation from the headquarters! Who knows, the headquarters may even reorganize our New First Regiment. As the regiment leader, you may be severely punished and shoulder great responsibilities in the future. You may even be sent to a remote area to be the director of a garment factory..."

Li Yunlong's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky even though I won the war! As the saying goes, you can't get away with doing something wrong. It's done, and there's no point in regretting it. Whether they get shot or go to jail, let them do whatever they want!"

Li Yunlong had no way to vent his depression and became negative in an instant.

Seeing this, Cao Geng felt that the time was right. He thought for a moment and then said, "However, Commander, we don't have to be completely desperate. In my opinion, we can't just sit there and wait for death. I may have a way to help you solve this problem!"

"You?" Li Yunlong widened his eyes.

"If you can help me solve this problem, Lao Li, I owe you a favor!"

Cao Geng smiled immediately: "Actually, Captain, I need your help with something!"

So Cao Geng told Li Yunlong his plan in detail.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned.

Is there such an operation?

But things have come to this point. Facing the punishment from headquarters, if he still wants to keep his position as the leader of the Shinichi Regiment, he has no choice but to do as he is told.

……

In the next few days, the news that Cao Geng was appointed as the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment quickly spread throughout the New First Regiment.

Upon hearing the news, many soldiers of the New 1st Regiment felt dissatisfied.

How can a new recruit who just joined the new regiment become a battalion commander right away?

However, when they thought of Cao Geng's battle record in Cangyun Ridge, they did not dare to say anything to Cao Geng.

Besides, this appointment was made by their regiment commander Li Yunlong.

Perhaps they had doubts about whether Cao Geng was qualified to be the battalion commander of the third battalion.

But they had full confidence in Li Yunlong's judgment as the regiment leader!

Since the regiment commander appointed Cao Geng as the commander of the third battalion.

Then Cao Geng must have extraordinary abilities.

All they can do is wait for Cao Geng to demonstrate his abilities.

not to mention.

Now the entire New 1st Regiment knows that Cao Geng is the younger brother of Cao Dabiao, the battalion commander of the New 1st Regiment.

Therefore, even for Cao Dabiao's face, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment would not show any dissatisfaction!

After Cao Geng took over the position of the third battalion commander of the New 1st Regiment, he knew that he was a newcomer and the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment might not be convinced.

Therefore, even though the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment did not say anything, Cao Geng was strict with himself both in his conduct and in his work.

In addition, he has extraordinary skills and a cheerful personality.

Before long, Cao Geng became friends with the soldiers of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment who had previously had some complaints about him.

The decision of the Daxiawan headquarters was also conveyed to the New 1st Regiment, and Li Yunlong's fate was sealed. On the phone, the brigade commander scolded: "Li Yunlong, you kid, you messed me up again! The last time you disobeyed orders in Cangyunling, the headquarters ordered you to go to the Border Area Clothing Factory as the factory director..."

Li Yunlong had expected that the headquarters would send him to the clothing factory in the border area. He did not get angry as the brigade commander expected, but smiled calmly and said, "Brigade commander, how about you speak well of me in front of the general? Sending a rough guy to the clothing factory is like forcing Cao Fei to embroider, isn't it?"

The brigade commander was secretly surprised. How could Li Yunlong suddenly change his personality? Logically speaking, if he won a battle but was demoted to a clothing factory, wouldn't the New 1st Regiment be in chaos with his temper?

However, Li Yunlong was still in the mood to joke. The brigade commander shook his head and said, "It's useless to say anything. The order from the headquarters has come down, you can only obey!"

Li Yunlong said, "Commander, I admit that I was wrong to disobey orders in Cangyunling, and I have reflected deeply on it. But I really can't bear to leave my brothers in the New 1st Regiment. I want to ask you, is it possible for me to make up for my crime with meritorious service?"

The brigade commander shook his head firmly: "Impossible!"

Li Yunlong continued: "What if I can upgrade the New 1st Regiment to a reinforced brigade within half a year?"

A fully staffed main regiment of the Eighth Route Army usually had 3,000 people, but at that time, the normal size of an Eighth Route Army Corps was only about 1,000 people. The New 1st Regiment had just fought a fierce battle with the Sakata Regiment, and now had less than 600 people. A reinforced brigade would need at least 8,000 to 9,000 people.

Li Yunlong claimed that he wanted to make the New 1st Regiment reach the size of a reinforced brigade within half a year, which meant that the troop strength would have to be increased more than ten times!

The brigade commander was stunned when he heard this. In half a year, a new regiment that was almost destroyed in Cangyun Ridge was going to become a reinforced brigade? How was that possible?

"What are you talking about?" The brigade commander scolded, thinking that Li Yunlong was teasing him. However, before the brigade commander could respond, Li Yunlong immediately said seriously:

"Brigade Commander, after I took over the New 1st Regiment, it only took me a year and a half to turn it into the strongest regiment in the division. Is that true?"

"I wiped out the Sakata Regiment with a regiment of troops in Cangyun Ridge. If this happened before, would you believe it?"

"Now, I will transform the New 1st Regiment into a reinforced brigade-level unit within half a year. I know you find it hard to believe, but Commander, I have confidence!"

"Commander, for the sake of our past friendship, please help me ask for a favor from the boss!"

If I cannot complete this mission, six months later, I, Li Yunlong, will die as an apology! But if I do, the strength of our 38th Brigade will be greatly improved..."

When the brigade commander heard this, his expression immediately changed.
