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

Although this route would make the Japanese pirates' marching speed slower than crossing Yingchoujian, the main force of the Japanese pirates would definitely set foot on this land.

This means that the main battlefield of their third battalion will also be set up here.

With a slight wave of Cao Geng's finger, many company commanders also realized the ideal position for their defense on the main battlefield.

"Safe Spiritual Wood Forest Farm!"

The sound of Cao Geng echoed in the hall again.

Kong Jie looked towards the location of Ping'an Lingmu Forest Farm and nodded in approval:

"This Ping'an Lingmu Forest Farm is the only way for the Japanese pirate army to pass. If the main force of the Japanese pirates wants to advance through the open plain, then this forest farm will become a key fortress for our defense."

As soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, the eyes of all the company commanders focused.

Obviously, this place will soon become a battlefield where their three battalion disciples will fight fiercely with the Japanese pirates.

Wang Huaibao asked: "Then, Mr. Camp, do we need to mobilize all the troops and magic weapons and supplies of our camp as soon as possible and set up defenses in Ping'an Lingmu Forest Farm?"

However, Cao Geng shook his head and said, "No! The number of troops we can deploy at Ping'an Lingmu Forest Farm is limited to two companies."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene changed their expressions and was horrified. Even Kong Jie, who was standing next to Cao Geng, was full of doubts.

Their Third Battalion has deployed the strength of five companies in this battle against the Japanese pirates. Now that they have speculated that the main force of the Japanese pirates will inevitably drive directly from Pingyuan to Ping'an City, why does the battalion commander only plan to deploy two companies in Ping'an Lingmu Forest Farm?

"Then how should the other three companies be arranged?"

Wang Huaibao and other puzzled people asked questions one after another.

To be honest, no matter how they tried to figure it out, they could never understand the deeper meaning behind Cao Geng's move.

The enemy force was huge, but when facing the main force of the Japanese pirates, the camp commander was only willing to deploy two companies of troops in Ping'an Lingmu Forest Farm...

To them, this was tantamount to pushing their comrades into the mouth of the evil wolf.

On the side, Kong Jie also remained silent, unable to figure out Cao Geng's deep meaning.

Cao Geng noticed the confusion among the crowd and suddenly asked:

"Imagine for a moment, everyone. If you were a member of that Japanese brigade and were rushing from Xiaweidi Village to annihilate a Bahuang Army unit of less than 2,000 people, what would you do?"

After hearing what Cao Geng said, everyone fell into silence.

With such a huge disparity in troop strength, even if the Third Battalion defended the city, it would not be able to withstand the attack of this Japanese brigade.

"We will strive to capture the three camps of Ping'an County as quickly as possible!"

Soon, this response echoed in the temporary combat strategy command center, which was also the unanimous opinion of many company commanders on the Cao Geng issue.

Cao Geng raised a smile and pointed at the map.

"At this moment, there are two roads leading from Xiaweidi Village to Ping'an County. One road is wide, but the marching column advances slowly, which is suitable for a large army to advance together; the other road is narrow, but can be used for fast marching..."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Jie's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he was the first to understand: "Commander, do you mean that although the main force of the Japanese invaders will attack from the direction of Ohara Plain, in fact, before their main force arrives, they are very likely to send out advance troops from Yingchoujian to Ping'an County?"

If the Japanese invaders wanted to win a quick victory, then the vanguard troops would undoubtedly first raid the base of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment.

So where can the vanguard troops attack more quickly? The answer is obvious - Yingchoujian!

As expected, wise men think alike... Cao Geng nodded in appreciation and confirmed, "Yes, in this way, the Japanese invaders have two main advantages in dividing their forces and heading straight for Ping'an County.

First of all, the First Brigade will never be afraid of our reinforced regiment of only more than 2,000 people. They are eager to win a quick victory and will definitely send the vanguard troops to test our strength first!

As for which route is faster? Without a doubt, it is Yingchoujian!"

When Cao Geng said this, everyone seemed to understand something.

If this speculation is true, it is indeed necessary to send troops to Yingchoujian for defense. Otherwise, if the Japanese invaders in Yingchoujian appear behind them like ghosts, they will have no choice but to let the First Brigade encircle and suppress them, which is like catching a turtle in a jar.

Cao Geng continued, "Moreover, although Yamamoto Ikki, who had formed a special operations team when we attacked Ping'an County, had died, the news of his quiet death had not yet spread to the outside world, and the world still did not know that he had fallen!

Why did the First Brigade sit back and watch Huairong County fall without rescuing it, and instead head straight for Ping'an County? Their real purpose was only one, and that was to plot against Yamamoto Ikki! "

After the battle of Ping'an County, everyone has deeply understood the importance of Yamamoto Ikki to Shinozuka Yoshio.

It can be said that Yamamoto Ikki is like Shinozuka Yoshio's own son, and no one can be more apt than this analogy. As soon as they conquered Heng'an Immortal City, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately dispatched the First Shura Brigade trapped in the Xiawei Immortal Valley Camp to come.

This action was swift and efficient, which was admirable. Cao Geng continued: "The life and death of Yamamoto Ikki, who is like a parent and son, is uncertain. Shinozuka Yoshio must first find out his exact whereabouts before making subsequent plans."

To Shinozuka Yoshio, Yamamoto Ikki's importance far exceeds that of our Third Cultivation Camp, or even that strategic location in the Jinxi Spirit Realm - Huairong Immortal Town...

Therefore, on the eve of the fierce battle between my Third Cultivation Camp and the First Shura Brigade of the Japanese invaders, these Japanese invaders will definitely take the lead in launching an attack and exploration towards Heng'an Immortal City... This means that the Eagle Sorrow Abyss will also become the only way for the Japanese invaders to pass through."

As the Japanese invaders rushed to Heng'an Fairy City, they would inevitably split their forces. This was a foregone conclusion in Cao Geng's eyes. It was precisely because the Japanese invaders wanted to find Yamamoto Ikki and capture his New First Regiment Third Cultivation Battalion that gave Cao Geng the best opportunity to strike hard at the Japanese invaders' First Shura Brigade.

In Cao Geng's strategic deployment, two companies of monks hid in the Heng'an forest, waiting for the main force of the Japanese invaders from the Great Plains to approach. The two companies of monks hid in the forest, ready to suppress most of the enemy with their powerful spiritual power.

Without knowing the strength of Cao Geng and his men, the Japanese invaders were only able to be held back by the monks of these two companies. This also bought enough time for the monks of the three companies of the Japanese invaders' vanguard troops to set up an ambush in the Eagle Sorrow Abyss, so as to completely wipe out the Japanese invaders there.

Cao Geng said: "As for the Japanese invaders in the direction of the Eagle Sorrow Abyss, once they are completely destroyed, the monks of these three companies, after cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the magic weapons, will immediately rush back to support Heng'an Forest and give a fatal blow from the middle of the Japanese invaders' marching team, causing them to suffer a heavy blow from the center! At that time, the Japanese invaders will surely fall into chaos and even suffer heavy losses. All this is a foregone conclusion."
