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

Chapter 155 Ding Wei is shocked and the miracle spreads

This method can be described as wild and fearless. If it fails, not only will the two immortal forces, the New Third Regiment and the Duli Regiment, suffer a devastating disaster, but the situation in the entire northwest spiritual land of Shanxi will fall into the abyss of turmoil.

However, thanks to the high level of cultivation of Cao Geng and Ding Wei, the plan was successfully implemented.

The Japanese invaders could no longer successfully retreat from the frontal battlefield where they were, because Cao Geng and Ding Wei cleverly used their weak forces to launch a major move that shocked the entire spiritual domain in northwestern Shanxi!

The deputy military advisor sighed: "The achievements made by Cao Geng and Ding Wei in this battle are truly extraordinary."

Indeed, both the deputy military advisor and the army marshal knew in their hearts that if it were not for Cao Geng and Ding Wei's unexpected strategy, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy to capture the important spiritual vein strongholds of the Japanese invaders with their own strength and the broken cultivation resources in their hands.

"Now, the two young heroes have completely changed the situation of this sacred land in northwest Shanxi. While forcing the Japanese invaders to withdraw to the front battlefield, they also provided a solid guarantee for the safe transfer of the main force of our Eighth Route Army."

"Cao Geng and Ding Wei have made great contributions in this battle, and they will be rewarded handsomely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the army marshal took a deep breath.

"Especially the new third regiment!"

The army marshal smiled and said: "We have previously ordered Cao Geng to assist the Duli Regiment in defeating a Japanese regiment and battalion. This is already a reward, and now that he has made such a great military achievement in the sacred land of northwest Shanxi, he should be rewarded even more!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy military advisor couldn't help but feel a little curious.

You know, since Cao Geng joined the Eighth Route Army, in just three months, he has achieved numerous victories and created miracles!

At first, he was only the battalion commander of the first battalion of the new first regiment, but now he has been promoted by the headquarters to the position of commander of the new third regiment.

If Cao Geng was given another new reward, the deputy military advisor could not think of what kind of treasure the headquarters could reward him with.

After all, the Eighth Route Army is short of resources, and both monks and magic weapons are rare treasures...

Apart from this, they really couldn't think of anything else to reward Cao Geng.

The army marshal knew the truth and couldn't help but laugh: "As for what reward to give Cao Geng, I haven't thought about it yet. I can only say that after this battle is over, we will call Cao Geng back to the headquarters to practice and comprehend. As for the specific reward, let him choose it himself."

The deputy military advisor also smiled calmly upon hearing this.

"After this battle, once Cao Geng's glorious achievements become widely known, I'm afraid the entire New Third Regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi will deeply admire him and recognize him. After all, this battle was magnificent, and the actions of Cao Geng and Ding Wei successfully pinned down all enemies in northwest Shanxi, which was a great achievement. From now on, we don't have to worry about anyone questioning whether Cao Geng is qualified to serve as the commander of the Eighth Route Army."

"Indeed." The army marshal nodded in agreement, his face full of satisfaction.

original,

He was still worried.

If the news that Cao Geng was promoted to the head of the new Third Regiment within just three months spread throughout the Eighth Route Army, it would definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction because of his lack of experience.

Since that battle, the shock caused by the young talent Cao Geng spread, and I am afraid no one will doubt whether he is qualified to be the leader of the new Immortal Spirit Third Regiment.

Of course, it was the mysterious actions of the New Immortal Spirit Third Regiment and the Duli Regiment that caused a huge stir in the outside world.

At this moment, Ding Wei and Zhao Gang, who were evacuating Zaoyang City, naturally heard that the four important spiritual vein supply areas of the small demon tribe were besieged at the same time!

The two were stunned.

"How can this be?"

"The four major spiritual vein supply areas of the Little Demon Clan were attacked at the same time?"

Ding Wei and Zhao Gang, along with the few remaining monks from the Duli Group behind them, could not help but look at each other.

This was originally what they did, so they both knew the inside story.

Previously, when they were discussing with Cao Geng about eradicating the spiritual vein supply sites of the small demon tribe, they clearly remembered that they had agreed that the New Immortal Spirit 3rd Regiment and the Duli Regiment would act separately, targeting two spiritual vein supply sites of the small demon tribe respectively. As for the other one, it would be handed over to the Jinsui Immortal Guard 358th Regiment!

Originally, Ding Wei and Cao Geng imagined that after they had conquered a small demon tribe's spiritual vein supply site, when they heard about the battle again:

Either Cao Geng led his people and the Duli Group to destroy another spiritual vein supply site of the small demon tribe, causing heavy losses to its two core members;

Either Cao Geng suffered an unfortunate defeat, or news came that the Duli Group had successfully destroyed the spirit vein supply base of the small demon tribe.

There are four spiritual vein supply sites for the little demon clan. Even if the Duli Regiment, the New Immortal Spirit Regiment 3 and the Jinsui Immortal Guard 358th Regiment attack with all their might, they can only conquer three of them at most.

However, what they never expected was:

The Little Demon Clan has a total of four spiritual vein supply sites. Except for the Jianzhou Immortal Realm that was handed over to the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Immortal Guard for defense, the other three were all captured by the New Immortal Spirit Third Regiment and the Duli Regiment...

This matter has long been made clear. It was a cooperative action planned jointly by the Duli Group and the New Xianling Group 3 led by Cao Geng.

The Duli Group went through great hardships and captured a spiritual vein supply site of the small demon tribe, which was already very difficult.

After the first battle, the number of members of the Duli Group has been greatly reduced, and Ding Wei and Zhao Gang have almost become commanders in name only.

The difficulty of defending Zaoyang City can be seen from this, so the difficulty of destroying other spiritual vein supply sources must be similar.

In this case, could it be that the attacks on the remaining two spirit vein supply sites were all caused by Cao Geng’s new Immortal Spirit Group 3?

Thinking of this, both Ding Wei and Zhao Gang couldn't help feeling confused.

It should be noted that before this operation, the number of troops in Cao Geng's New Immortal Spirit Third Regiment was almost the same as their Duli Regiment, both of which were only about two hundred people.

However, Cao Geng, relying only on the two hundred or so men under his command, destroyed the two important spiritual vein supply sites of the Little Demon Clan in one fell swoop...

What is even more surprising is that at this moment all the demon forces in the northwest region of Shanxi have returned to support these four vital spiritual vein supply areas.

Thinking of this scene, Ding Wei and Zhao Gang couldn't help but gasp!

Zhao Gang said solemnly: "It is unbelievable how Daoist Cao Geng managed to conquer the two important spiritual vein strongholds of the demon clan's Ghost Shadow Tribe with only two hundred people's cultivation strength."

Ding Wei's eyes flashed with complex light, and he continued: "We have already experienced the power of Fellow Daoist Cao Geng's tactical skills when he led his troops to assist our independent regiment. In that battle, facing the endless demon clan ghost shadow regiments and battalions, if it were not for Fellow Daoist Cao Geng, our independent regiment would have been unable to resist."

"Now, with a team of less than 200 cultivators, he has destroyed the two major spiritual veins of the Ghost Shadow Tribe in one fell swoop. This kind of combat power is truly astonishing. In comparison, even I, Ding Wei, can only sigh that I am inferior to him."

Speaking of this, even Ding Wei, who considered himself a strategic genius, couldn't help but shake his head.

However, although both Ding Wei and Zhao Gang were amazed at Cao Geng's amazing tactical skills and even felt inferior to him, they thought about it and felt that their independent regiment and the new third regiment led by Cao Geng had successfully captured the three key spiritual vein strongholds of the demon clan's ghost tribe, which was really an exciting event!

Now, as the three important spiritual veins of the Ghost Shadow Tribe have been captured by them, another spiritual vein stronghold of the Ghost Shadow Tribe is being heavily surrounded by the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. The Ghost Shadow Tribe in the entire northwest region of Shanxi has to mobilize a large number of troops to urgently rescue these four spiritual vein fortresses.

As a result, when the Ghost Shadow Tribe wanted to launch a large-scale mopping-up operation in the entire northwest Shanxi region, Shinozuka Yoshio could no longer withdraw troops to pursue the main force of the Eighth Route Army. This matter has become a foregone conclusion.

In this battle, the joint efforts of their Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment not only temporarily saved many people and soldiers in northwestern Shanxi from the fate of being slaughtered by the demons, but also spread the impact of this battle to the entire North China!

"Although we suffered heavy casualties in this battle, it was all worth it."

Ding Wei and Zhao Gang are now almost alone. In order to preserve the establishment of the independent regiment, recruiting new soldiers is imperative.

However, both Ding Wei and Zhao Gang were filled with joy at this moment.

Because in this battle they not only demonstrated the majestic appearance of the Independent Regiment, but also demonstrated the indomitable spirit of the Independent Regiment!

……

Of course, when this news spread throughout the northwest of Shanxi and even to the four directions, all forces were shocked by the joint operations of Cao Geng and Ding Wei's regiments.

The news that the demon clan ghost shadow tribe in the northwest of Shanxi Province had temporarily curbed its arrogance was not only widely spread in the northwest of Shanxi Province, but also spread to the entire North China region, triggering a continuous wave of public opinion...

After hearing the news, many forces were shocked.
