Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

"Yes, it's a bet!"

"Tell me, which of these battalions will arrive first? Which one's development will surprise us the most?"

After hearing this, Zhao Gang frowned and fell into deep thought.

"If we only consider speed, then it must be the cavalry battalion. However, the base chosen by Sun Desheng is the farthest from the regimental headquarters among the several combat battalions, so it's hard to say."

"The second-best option is the infantry battalion. They don't have as many heavy weapons, so they're lightly armed and can fight at a faster pace."

After comprehensive consideration, Zhao Gang said decisively: "Then I will choose the infantry battalion!"

After the words fell, Qin Cang smiled slightly and said slowly: "Then I will choose the Cavalry Battalion."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang asked in confusion, "Although the cavalry battalion has war horses, it is the farthest away. This way, if their advantages and disadvantages are offset, there's nothing to stand out."

Although what Zhao Gang said made some sense, Qin Cang shook his head slightly after listening to it.

"Old Zhao, the reason I chose the Cavalry Battalion wasn't because of the two factors you mentioned, but because of Sun Desheng himself."

Who is Sun Desheng?

For a moment, Zhao Gang was confused and didn't know what Qin Cang meant.

As if seeing through Zhao Gang's thoughts, Qin Cang smiled slightly and explained softly.

"Old Zhao, let me ask you, what is the iron rule of the cavalry battalion?"

Zhao Gang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and blurted out almost without thinking: "To rush to the front of the team?"

"That's right!"

The moment Zhao Gang finished speaking, Qin Cang nodded vigorously.

"Old Zhao, do you believe that Sun Desheng would definitely ask this of every soldier in the cavalry battalion?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang glanced at Qin Cang and said with a hint of regret: "Qin Cang, why do I feel a little regretful?"

"Hahaha! We can't cheat!"

"But the second bet will give you a chance!"

Zhao Gang smiled faintly and said confidently, "Qin Cang, I can guarantee with all my heart that each of these battle camps will give us a huge surprise!"

"In my opinion, there's something wrong with your question itself!"

The moment Zhao Gang said this, Qin Cang nodded in agreement: "To be honest, I think so too. It's really not that easy to choose the best one among them!"

As the two of them talked, time passed by minute by minute.

Around 6:30 in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and it still felt a bit dark.

"Commissar, you're back! You're back!"

Wei Dayong rushed into the room with excitement on his face and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Qin Cang and Zhao Gang were shocked, looked at each other subconsciously, and then rushed out the door at the same time.

At this moment, at the entrance of Xuyang Village.

Rows of war horses stood in an orderly manner. On their horses, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion looked ahead with high spirits, quietly waiting for Qin Cang's inspection.

The moment he saw Qin Cang and Zhao Gang, Sun Desheng grinned, jumped off his horse and went to meet them.

"Reporting to the regimental commander and political commissar, the cavalry battalion commander, Sun Desheng, reports to you that the cavalry battalion should have 280 men, and the actual number is 280!"

After saying this, Qin Cang looked at Zhao Gang with a smile on his face and said softly, "Old Zhao, don't you think I was right? The cavalry battalion will definitely arrive first!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang smiled slightly, then looked behind Sun Desheng with curiosity and said softly.

"Captain Sun, I remember when you left the regiment, there were only a little over a hundred soldiers. Now there are already 280. The development speed is quite fast!"

After saying this, Zhao Gang paused briefly and then asked a crucial question: "I see that none of the soldiers in our cavalry battalion came here on foot. So, how many war horses do we have?"

As the last word fell, Qin Cang looked at Sun Desheng with curiosity.

On the other hand, look at Sun Desheng and the soldiers behind him.

The moment he heard this question, he straightened his back, and his expression was filled with pride and pride.

"Report to the political commissar, the cavalry battalion now has a total of 280 war horses!"

How many? Two hundred and eighty?

The Japanese cavalry team that ambushed in the elm forest earlier had only 400 soldiers, but only 300 war horses.

But what about the cavalry battalion? Every man had a warhorse, and they were directly approaching the Japanese cavalry brigade!

"Sun Desheng, Sun Desheng, I realize you've also become a bad person!"

"We met at the boss's place a few days ago, and you didn't tell me anything about the cavalry battalion!"

After realizing what was happening, Qin Cang deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Sun Desheng grinned and said, "Captain, I want to give you a surprise after the cavalry battalion has developed further!"

"I didn't expect the regiment to make a big move so soon."

Zhao Gang laughed heartily upon hearing this and jokingly said, "Captain Sun, don't get me wrong. Our regimental commander just loves to act. Don't look at his appearance; he's actually pretending. I wonder how he's laughing inside!"

Qin Cang lost his composure immediately after hearing what Zhao Gang said. He glared at him angrily, "Who are you on the same team with, Old Zhao? What's wrong with asking me to pretend to be profound?"

"The regimental commander, the political commissar, and Captain Sun are chatting."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the village.

Looking closely, Ge Erdan and Ma Yongzhi were walking towards the three of them quickly.

Especially Ge Erdan, his eyes were full of depression and dissatisfaction when he looked at Ma Yongzhi.

"Erdan, Lao Ma!"

When Qin Cang saw the two of them, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What's wrong with you two? Want to fight?"

After all, Zhao Gang was a man of keen observation, and he immediately noticed the sparks between Ma Yongzhi and Ge Erdan.

"Captain, Political Commissar, Lao Sun, the three of you make the decision for me!"

"It was clearly our Second Battalion that entered the village first, but Ge Erdan refuses to admit it!"

"Am I, Ma Yongzhi, the kind of person who won't admit defeat?"

After these words were spoken, the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Seeing that Ge Erdan was about to retort, Qin Cang quickly interrupted his "casting" and said slowly, "Do you two still have any sense of responsibility as battalion commanders? Don't you know what the first thing you should do when you return to the regiment headquarters?"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Yongzhi and Ge Erdan's expressions suddenly became serious. They hurriedly said, "All members of the First Infantry Battalion are present. The expected number is 3,200, and the actual number is 3,200. Please review it, Commander and Political Commissar!"

"All members of the Second Reinforcement Battalion have arrived..."
