Chapter 178: Strategy is drawn up, Shinozuka is ecstatic
Cao Geng knew clearly in his heart that even if he commanded the Third Immortal Brigade to attack the demons from the north or south, that is, after he personally led his disciples to launch the offensive, the demon regiment that surrounded Zhao Jiayu would definitely not sit idly by. They would immediately cooperate with the Japanese regiment that was fighting with Cao Geng's disciples and deal a fatal blow to all our troops.
However, Cao Geng had already been prepared for this situation.
Once upon a time, when Chu Yunfei was indignant at the demons' suppression of the Third Immortal Brigade, he immediately informed Cao Geng of the information that the 358th Regiment wanted to assist Cao Geng's troops.
At this moment, when Cao Geng's disciples were quietly approaching the perimeter of Zhao Jiayu, Chu Yunfei's subordinates, who were closer to Zhao Jiayu, were also ready to go. Chu Yunfei was leading all his elite disciples, just like Cao Geng, lurking outside Zhao Jiayu, waiting to cooperate with Cao Geng in the final decisive battle!
It should be noted that the 358th Regiment commanded by Chu Yunfei is the strongest immortal brigade in the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. With just one regiment, it can easily wipe out an entire Yinsha League of demons!
At this moment, when Cao Geng was preparing for a head-on battle with the evil Japanese invaders, it was obvious that the immortal soldiers led by Chu Yunfei should raid a Japanese invaders' detachment from the other wing of Zhaojiayu. This move would undoubtedly greatly restrain the fierce attack of the Japanese invaders on Cao Geng's main force.
At present, in the outer area of Zhaojiayu, the Japanese invaders have only deployed two corps of monks.
That is, after Chu Yunfei's troops successfully tied down one of the Japanese invaders' regiments.
As for the remaining Japanese invaders' regiment, Cao Geng's New Third Regiment, which had mobilized the cultivators and horses, joined forces with the troops commanded by Li Yunlong to launch an offensive against them.
In any case, Cao Geng and his men have already seen the opportunity to win!
Cao Geng revealed all his strategies and discussed them with Monk Wei and others.
After hearing Cao Geng's analysis, everyone felt fearless and courageous because Cao Geng was so confident, even though the current strength of the enemy's monk corps was still far greater than that of our New Third Regiment.
"But we must not underestimate these Japanese monks! The Japanese pirates' plan against our New Third Regiment is obviously a long-planned one! If we only believe that the Japanese pirates' force attacking Zhao Jiayu is only two regiments, then our New Third Regiment would be careless!"
In fact, the Japanese troops that attacked Zhao Jiayu this time were not just the two regiments on the surface. There must be hidden forces secretly plotting to hinder us from rescuing Li Yunlong and Zhao Jiayu!
This is exactly the fact that Cao Geng wants to reveal.
"However, we don't have to worry too much about the strength of the Japanese invaders! At present, we have the support of the reinforcements led by the commander Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the elite troops of the New 3rd Regiment are waiting on the periphery!"
Cao Geng has a sharp gaze.
The soldiers and troops that his New Third Regiment has assembled now are more than just a regiment. Even if it is expanded to the size of a brigade or even a division, it is probably difficult to reach the strength of the New Third Regiment at this moment!
Although the Japanese invaders tried their best to set up a trap for Cao Geng,
But Cao Geng was not afraid of this.
After hearing Cao Geng's words, the morale of the New Third Regiment doubled.
Although most of the soldiers of the new Third Regiment were recruited by Cao Geng after he occupied Qingfeng Mountain,
Moreover, they are not aware of the actual current strength of their New Third Regiment.
However, both Cao Geng and Monk Wei had told them that the only troops stationed at Qingfeng Mountain belonged to Captain Cao Geng's personal guard company...
As for the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion...
They had no idea how much their cultivation and combat power had been expanded so far.
"Captain, the commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei, sent back information saying that they have already set up their formation on the south side of Zhaojiayu and have locked onto the position of the Japanese invaders' brigade on the south side!"
At this time, the intelligence monk under Cao Geng came quickly to report.
Upon receiving this message,
Cao Geng's pupils suddenly contracted!
This was exactly the news he was expecting!
"In this case, immediately send a message to Chu Yunfei and his men to launch an offensive against all the Japanese pirates on the southern slope of Zhaojiayu!"
"Our time has come. We must confront these evil forces head-on!"
Cao Geng had just finished speaking.
momentary,
The intelligence monks under his command immediately took the order and left.
Simultaneously,
As the intelligence monk delivered the order,
Cao Geng also turned to Monk Wei and the others and said in a deep voice:
"My fellow Taoists, there is no need to say more! This time, the Japanese pirates have wantonly provoked our New Third Regiment. They want to destroy our new chapter! However, is the New Third Regiment someone that the Japanese pirates can bully at will?"
"Weren't you eager to have a hearty battle with the Japanese pirates? Now, your chance has come!"
"charge!"
"Go straight to the north side of Zhaojiayu and launch a fierce attack on the Japanese pirates' camp!"
After Cao Geng issued this order,
The monks of the three new regiments all responded with a roar.
He grasped the magic weapon without hesitation and rushed towards the battlefield in the direction of Zhaojiayu with a determined look!
but,
Because Cao Geng and his party were originally stationed outside Zhaojiayu, they were not far away from the Japanese pirates who were guarding ten miles outside and monitoring their actions.
in a moment,
Cao Geng and his entourage were approaching the Japanese pirates' camp.
As soon as the two sides met,
No need for words,
There was only a sound of "chi" from the sword.
Cao Geng took action personally and was the first to kill a Japanese pirate who was fifty feet away and had not yet recovered.
Then, the Japanese pirates camp immediately became alert.
"Enemy attack!"
"alert!"
"alert!"
The Japanese pirates responded quickly and hid behind the fortifications.
Cao Geng's troops would not blindly charge at the Japanese pirates' detachment.
They also rely on the mountain terrain to hide their bodies.
quickly,
Their team started a simple battle for position with the Japanese pirates.
Its goal is nothing more than to share the pressure on the defense line where Li Yunlong is located.
at the same time,
In another direction,
At the same moment,
The 358th Regiment led by Chu Yunfei was also engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese pirates.
Originally, the Japanese pirate commander on Cao Geng's side believed that the other side's regiment would cooperate with him to wipe out Cao Geng's troops in one fell swoop.
But after waiting for a long time,
They did not wait for the reinforcement signal from the regiment on the other side of Zhaojiayu.
"It seems that the situation at Captain Yamamoto's place is also full of crises. In order to rescue the New First Regiment and Zhaojiayu, the New Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has mobilized a large number of highly skilled monks..." The Japanese pirate general couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The opponent that Captain Yamamoto faced was the powerful team of monks under Chu Yunfei.
"Captain, how should we respond now?" the major beside the Japanese pirate general asked respectfully.
From the perspective of the world of cultivation:
In fact, according to common sense, even if the two major forces of Zixiao Sect and Qingyun Sect were gathered together, the strength of our Xingluo monk army is enough to easily suppress them, and we still have some strength to spare.
However, during the exploration of this secret realm, the leader of the Xingluo monks, Yoshio Shinozuka, repeatedly warned that we must act with caution...
Well, first report the news that Cao Geng has appeared in the wasteland to Monk Xiaozuka. The subsequent actions will be up to you and we will just have to follow Monk Xiaozuka's orders.
Although the legion commander had great confidence in the strength of the cultivators under his command, he did not want to cause more disputes in the cultivation world due to rash actions, so he contacted the top leaders of Tianyuan City in time.
At the same time, his team of monks continued to launch a fierce attack on the troops led by Cao Geng.
Soon, with the help of the report from the legion commander, Yoshio Shinozuka learned that Cao Geng had appeared in Xuanyang Valley.
At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio was overjoyed upon hearing the news: "The strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory has already been half successful!"
As long as Cao Geng dares to show up, Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the Xingluo Monk Corps, has ten thousand ways to bring him down.
Now that Cao Geng has entered Xuanyang Valley, Shinozuka Yoshio will naturally not be polite to him.
"Pass the order down, and tell the hidden cultivators lurking around Xuanyang Valley to show up. From now on, the four major cultivator armies will attack the Purple Lightning Squad that Cao Geng is a member of!"
Shinozuka Yoshio ordered.
Indeed, their Xingluo Monk Corps deployed two legions on the front battlefield of Xuanyang Valley as the visible force, and secretly deployed the elite of the other two legions around it, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Cao Geng and his Zidian team.
However, since they were worried that Cao Geng would shrink back after knowing that they had deployed four legions of cultivators for this purpose, they dispersed their secretly hidden cultivation power to three neighboring towns near Xuanyang Valley.
Once Cao Geng appears, the hidden monks who receive orders from Yoshio Shinozuka can quickly gather in Xuanyang Valley in less than half an hour.
"As ordered!"
After the deputy head received the order, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
"But Brother Xiaozhong, according to the secret report from Xuanyang Valley, Cao Geng came to rescue Qingyun Sect with only 500 to 600 monks. Now, is it too extravagant for our Xingluo Monk Corps to mobilize all four major corps to deal with him?"
In the eyes of the deputy head of the group, what Shinozuka Yoshio did was like using the giant spirit palm to catch and kill tiny mosquitoes.
The four major corps of monks are equivalent to a Xingluo Division plus an independent corps of monks, with a total of no less than ten thousand cultivators. Even if they face any large-scale military cluster in the Mortal Continent, they can easily deal with it!
However, at this moment, Monk Xiaozuka actually mobilized four entire legions of monks to attack a mere Cao Geng.
The deputy commander had to think that the lieutenant general was being too cautious.
