Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

The order from Zhongcang was issued, and three infantry brigades and one artillery squadron marched in the direction of Feihuling.

Looking at the strength of nearly one regiment in front of him, the corner of Zhongcang's mouth twitched.

Commanding nearly a regiment of troops as a captain made his vanity reach an unprecedented height.

"Kimura-kun, there shouldn't be any problems with the artillery squadron and material transportation team!"

"Hai!" Kimura nodded: "According to the consistent style of the empire, our infantry team will lead the way first."

"One hour after we set off, the material transport team and artillery will start at the same time!"

"Your Excellency Nakakura, are you worried about something?"

Nakura nodded slightly, but did not answer directly: "Kimura-kun, have you understood my resume?"

Kimura was stunned: "It is said that you are a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy, and you participated in the big raid a few years ago?"

"Yeah!" Nakakura nodded, "If you really think about it, I'm still a student of His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka, but it's a pity that the empire only really uses talents from previous periods."

"Although I was unknown at the Imperial Military Academy at the time, I think that in terms of military affairs, I am not inferior to the predecessors in the previous batches."

"In the previous big raid, the squadron I was leading killed nearly 100 people, so I was promoted to the captain for this reason."

"However, I think that my career as an officer will not stop at the captain of the brigade, the commander of the brigade of the major general, this is my goal!"

Kimura laughed: "Understood, Your Excellency Zhongcang wants to win Feihu Ridge in a beautiful way, so as to accumulate military merits for himself."

"Not bad!" Zhongcang said with a smile: "I have studied all the information about Wuqianli in Feihu Ridge."

"Although he caused a lot of damage to the empire, all these things he did have one thing in common."

"His troops mainly use sneak attacks, which means that his team is likely not good at fighting frontal battles."

Kimura was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became excited: "So that's the case, as expected of Your Excellency Zhongcang."

"This time we gathered a team of more than 3000 people. If we fight head-on with them, we will be able to kill them all without breaking a sweat!"

"Then you can take the credit for this time!"

Zhongcang laughed: "Of course!"

"After this victory, His Excellency Shinozuka must be able to see my talent, and maybe you can promote me to the captain for this."

"Kimura-kun, after I am promoted to the captain of the alliance, I will definitely use you again."

"Hayi!" Kimura agreed excitedly: "Your Majesty Zhongcang, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help you win Feihu Ridge!"

Zhongcang nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and ordered all the troops to speed up their march.

At the same time, the bald man on the other side of the mountain city also received a telegram.

"Chen Cheng, news has come from our troops in Northwest Shanxi that the devils have dispatched a large army this time. It looks like they are preparing to carry out another comprehensive encirclement and suppression against the Eighth Route Army."

"All the troops have made active preparations, and now they are asking whether they want to participate in this battle. What do you think?"

Chen Cheng frowned, a little puzzled.

"It hasn't been long since the last war. According to Yoshio Shinozuka's character, he shouldn't launch a second full-scale siege so soon."

"It must be that Eight Road did something to anger him!"

The bald head laughed: "I really told you the truth!"

"After Shinozuka Yoshio carried out a big raid last time, that Wu Qianli led people to rob his field military hospital and kidnapped a doctor under his nose."

"Not long after this incident, this Wu Qianli sneaked into Taicheng again, and even bombed his arsenal."

"These two things can be said to have slapped Yoshio Shinozuka in the face, which completely enraged him."

"He sent three brigades and an artillery squadron as the vanguard this time. Obviously, he wanted to clean up the five thousand miles first."

Chen Cheng nodded slightly: "But I guess this is not his ultimate goal!"

"He wanted to use Wuqianli as a bait to force the Eighth Route Army in the northwest region to move closer and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

The bald head snorted coldly: "As far as their clumsy plan is concerned, everyone can see it."

"If it were me, even if this Wuqianli would fight again, I would not be able to take this risk with a large army."

"On the contrary, I will use my tricks and carry out an anti-siege against the devils. When necessary, Wu Qianli can die for the country!"

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he calmed down soon.

"Back to the topic, now the troops are calling for battle, what's your opinion?"

Chen Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "My humble opinion is to fight devils and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Oh?" The bald man smiled and said, "Tell me your reason."

"There are three reasons!" Chen Cheng said with a smile: "First, at present, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, the Jinsui Army, us, and the devils are all four-legged, and each has its own territory."

"If we participate in this battle, no matter whether we win or lose, the territory we occupy will definitely expand, which will pave the way for our future plans."

"Second, the enthusiasm for the war of resistance across the country is unprecedentedly high. If we participate in this battle and win, we can publicize it. This way, more people will join us."

"Even if we lose, the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army will be affected. We can take the opportunity to send troops to Northwest Shanxi again."

"What you said makes sense!" The bald man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the calculating light kept flickering in his eyes, like a scheming fox.

"Didn't you just say that there are three reasons? What is the other one?"

Chen Cheng smiled slightly, and pointed to Wu Qianli's information on the table.

"The third reason is this five thousand miles!"

"This time the devil's four-way army attacked him, I guess even Wu Qianli couldn't stand it."

"If we send troops to reinforce him, even if it is to block the enemy, it will relieve his pressure. In this way, he owes us a favor. It will be much easier for us to recruit him in the future."

The bald head laughed: "Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng, you really want to be with me."

"Immediately contact the various troops in Northwest Shanxi and let them go into battle."

"By the way, call Fatty Yan in my own name and ask him to send troops."

"It can't be that our side is having a lively fight, but he is watching the show from the sidelines."

"Yes!" Chen Cheng replied, turned and left.

Inside the Luliang headquarters.

Fatty Yan slapped the telegram heavily on the table: "The bald head bullies people too much. This battle is clearly a conflict between the devils and the Eighth Route Army!"

"It's good now. It's not enough for them to get involved. They want us to get involved too?"

"Usually give me more food and grass for the army, and give me more if the weapons and equipment are missing. At this time, it is time to command me."

Seeing that Fatty Yan was so furious, Sun Nan on the side whispered, "Sir, I also think that we should send troops this time."

"The so-called gunfire is worth ten thousand taels of gold. If we win this battle, it will be of great help to our future development."

Fatty Yan was taken aback, and looked at Sun Nan in surprise.

Sun Nan laughed and said, "Mr. Yan, this time Yoshio Shinozuka is going to make a big move and gather the army of the Fourth Route to attack the Eighth Route. Then the Eighth Route will definitely resist with all its strength."

"No matter who wins in the end, both sides will definitely lose their vitality. We just need to send troops to resist the devils coming from Jingle's direction and buy time for the Eighth Route Army."

"If you can't attack for a long time, the devils will definitely withdraw their troops in the end, but at that time, the devils from San'in and Yuanping will definitely lose their troops. To ensure the safety of these two places, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely dispatch troops from Taicheng or Quyang to defend .”

"And we can take the opportunity to go east, at least we can recover Jiaocheng and Wenmu, right?"

Fatty Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously a little moved.

"But the problem is that if we make a move, what will Yoshio Shinozuka do if he angers us like last time?"

Sun Nan shook her head: "When the time comes, we can say it's just for fun."

"The big deal is to return Jiaocheng and Wenmu to them. Of course, Jiaocheng and Wenmu were already empty cities at that time."

"Besides, since the Wuqianli incident last time, the people in Northwest Shanxi have grown disgusted with us, and they really want to get close to the Eighth Route Army."

"We need a show to win people's hearts, otherwise we will be at a disadvantage in terms of recruiting troops in the future."

Fatty Yan nodded: "If possible, we should take this opportunity to get closer to Wu Qianli."

"After all, I heard from Chu Yunfei that there are treasures everywhere!"

"If we can get it, maybe it can replace the bald head in the future."

Thinking of this, Fatty Yan suddenly became excited, and waved his hand: "Call Shancheng and tell the bald head that I agree to his order!"

"At the same time, tell the garrisons in Jingle and the surrounding cities to prepare for battle, and never let the devils from Quyang and Taicheng pass by."
