Chapter 129: Breaking the Array and Changing the Realm: 4 Cultivation Points for 8 Opportunities
Cao Geng was in a happy mood at the moment, staring at the secret treasure map in his hand, with a sharp edge in his heart. This map found in the headquarters of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army was extraordinary. It clearly outlined the marching routes and resource bases of the Japanese army in the entire northwest of Shanxi. This information made Cao Geng feel very relieved.
Although Cao Geng only had 8,000 monks under his command, which seemed insignificant compared to the huge army of Japanese cultivators, on the battlefield, only by understanding the enemy's situation could one be invincible. Now that he had mastered the enemy's marching targets and supply locations, even if he could not wipe out the Japanese forces in northwest Shanxi in one fell swoop, he could ensure the safe transfer of his own Eighth Route Army monks and launch a counterattack at the right time.
At this moment, Li Yunlong, Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan, three fellow disciples, looked at Cao Geng with respect. It turned out that the powerful offensive that contained the entire Fourth Brigade was actually done by Cao Geng and his disciples from the Third Battalion. Once this matter was spread, the entire New First Regiment was shocked.
Although a long time had passed, Li Yunlong still could not hide his surprise when he mentioned this matter. However, he quickly adjusted his mood, patted Cao Geng's shoulder vigorously, and said heroically: "Good boy, you actually led the disciples of the Third Battalion to fight against the entire Fourth Brigade. If it were not for you, the New First Regiment would not be able to win, let alone annihilate the enemy. You are indeed the best among my disciples... In this battle, the Third Battalion can be said to have made the greatest contribution!"
Li Yunlong's words were full of praise, and Cao Geng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he calmed down and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, Captain."
Seeing that Cao Geng did not take all the credit, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, you really impressed me. After returning to the sect, I will definitely drink with you. After this battle, I will report this matter to the sect master. I think the sect master will reward you generously after knowing this."
After saying this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling the brilliant achievements Cao Geng had made since he joined the New 1st Regiment...
In the past, when the new regiment was first branched out, Cao Geng led only one or two hundred monks from the third battalion and dared to raid the Huaiyi Immortal City occupied by the demons and Japanese invaders, which shocked the New Regiment's power in establishing a new sect.
Since that battle, Li Yunlong knew that Cao Geng was no ordinary person.
In the following days, although he did not pay much attention to the series of glorious achievements created by Cao Geng, Li Yunlong also knew that a month ago, Cao Geng had faced an entire brigade of Japanese invaders in Xiaweidi Village where he originally defended!
Facing the powerful First Demon Brigade of the Japanese invaders, Cao Geng, with only one battalion of soldiers under his command, stubbornly resisted the enemy's fierce offensive for more than ten hours!
These two battles have fully demonstrated Cao Geng's extraordinary ability to command troops and fight on the battlefield.
Now, the New 1st Regiment, relying solely on its own strength, has completely defeated the Japanese Fourth Demon Brigade.
In this battle, Cao Geng led only 900 monks and disciples from the Third Battalion, and once again demonstrated the powerful combat effectiveness of the Third Battalion!
It can be asserted that if it were not for the presence of Cao Geng's Third Battalion, the New 1st Regiment would never have achieved such an earth-shaking victory in this fierce battle with the Japanese Fourth Demon Brigade!
The reason why the New 1st Regiment was able to wipe out the Fourth Demon Brigade here in just twenty-two hours was all thanks to Cao Geng's Third Battalion!
At this moment, Li Yunlong thought to himself that when it comes to Cao Geng's talent, even compared to his own, he is better than him. This man is undoubtedly a talented general.
Although Li Yunlong had a bold and rough personality and acted stingily, he knew very well that he could not easily keep a talented general like Cao Geng hidden in the New 1st Regiment.
Cao Geng should have a chance to display his talent on a broader battlefield, and it would not be an exaggeration even if he was on par with Li Yunlong.
After this battle, Li Yunlong's attitude towards Cao Geng was no longer just that of a superior towards a subordinate, but he regarded them as equally matched!
Of course, Li Yunlong at the moment did not know that Cao Geng had done many incredible things after the troops were divided.
Even so, Cao Geng's performance made Li Yunlong look at him differently.
On the side, both Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan had complicated expressions, and they were amazed at the brilliant record created by Cao Geng.
They put themselves in Cao Geng's shoes and imagined that if they were in Cao Geng's position, let alone leading 900 disciples to contain the entire First Demon Brigade, even if they were to fight against a team of Japanese demon troops, they would probably only be able to barely contain them. As for annihilating the enemy completely, that was simply unimaginable!
However, Cao Geng's strength surprised and shocked everyone!
After everyone was amazed at Cao Geng's strength, they began to count the spoils.
In fact, since Cao Geng led his troops back, the three battalions of the New 1st Regiment have confiscated almost all the weapons and magic tools on the battlefield.
When the various units of the New 1st Regiment reported the specific lists of captured items to the regiment commander Li Yunlong, even Li Yunlong, who had seen a lot of storms, could not help but widen his eyes in surprise.
