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

After receiving the news from Yoshio Shinozuka, the Japanese troops on all sides immediately began to retreat.

In particular, the Japanese soldiers in Hujuting, after withdrawing a predetermined distance from the battlefield, immediately changed direction and headed straight for Xuyang Village.

At the same time, Ping'an County.

"Commander, what brings you here?"

Qin Cang pretended to be confused and looked at Chen Geng even though he knew the truth.

"Why am I here?"

Hearing this, Chen Geng looked at Qin Cang with a half-smile.

This smile made Qin Cang feel uneasy.

"Haha, look at my mouth, it just can't speak!"

"We are all your subordinates. The brigade commander can come and go as he pleases."

When these words were spoken, even Zhao Gang beside him couldn't help laughing.

Qin Cang can't speak? He can turn black into white, and dead into alive. Is this called not being able to speak?

"You..."

Shaking his head somewhat helplessly, Chen Geng said slowly, "My Captain Qin, do you know that it was because of the Special Forces' rash actions that the entire northwest region of Shanxi was plunged into a state of war?"

"Battles are raging everywhere!"

"You're so lucky! You've taken over Ping'an County. I'm sure you've gained a lot of good things, right?"

After he finished speaking, Qin Cang smiled awkwardly.

He never expected that Chen Geng would actually bring up this matter.

In fact, Chen Geng’s subtext is very obvious.

So many brothers helped the special forces to block the Japanese reinforcements. You, Qin Cang, got the benefits. Do you want to keep them all for yourself?

Thinking of this, Qin Cang hurriedly said: "Brigade Commander, what you said is meaningless."

"Moreover, the boss gave the special forces the right to act first and report later. Even if it is captured spoils, they can deal with them on their own."

After hearing this, Chen Geng rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"You think I don't know?"

"If the boss hadn't agreed to your condition, believe it or not, I could make you spit out everything Ping'an County earned!"

"Besides, do you really think I came here just for that little bit of loot?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Cang's expression immediately straightened up. He knew that the next words were the key points.

as predicted.

After a brief pause, Chen Geng spoke slowly.

"Zhao Gang has already told me your idea."

"Although Ping'an County is a popular destination, have you ever considered that if our Eighth Route Army were to station troops there, it would be like having an additional burden, and a very obvious nemesis at that, which would have a significant impact on the mobility of our guerrilla warfare?"

When saying this, Chen Geng's face was full of seriousness.

After the words fell, Qin Cang pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Brigade Commander, I know what you are thinking."

"You must also want to keep Ping'an County firmly in our own hands, otherwise, you wouldn't have come here."

Chen Geng did not react at all when Qin Cang's words exposed his inner thoughts. Instead, he stared at Qin Cang, wanting to see how he would convince him.

After a brief pause, Qin Cang continued, "Instead of just talking nonsense here, it would be better for you to see for yourself the current special forces brigade."

As the last word fell, Qin Cang made an inviting gesture towards Chen Geng.

Seeing this, Chen Geng was slightly stunned, and then said in confusion: "I want to see what medicine you are selling in the gourd!"

After saying this, accompanied by Qin Cang and Zhao Gang, Chen Geng strode into Ping'an County.

"Welcome to the inspection, Brigade Commander!"

Just as Chen Geng passed through the city gate, a deep voice suddenly resounded through the sky.

The soldiers of the entire special brigade were seen standing in uniform at the gate of the county town in battalion units, looking at Chen Geng with eyes full of pride and honor.

"This……"

This sudden scene scared Chen Geng.

After calming down, Chen Geng pointed at the soldiers in surprise, and turned to look at Qin Cang and Zhao Gang who were smiling behind him.

"Brigade Commander, these are the soldiers of my special forces brigade!"

The moment Qin Cang said this, Chen Geng's mouth suddenly opened wide, and Zhao Gang couldn't help but worry, fearing that Chen Geng's mouth would be dislocated.

"You...what did you say?"

"Are all these soldiers from the special forces?"

"How can this be!"

Although Chen Geng had thought that the development of the special brigade was very good, otherwise he would not have launched an attack on Ping'an County.

However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated Qin Cang and the special forces.

"Reporting to the Director! The Special Forces Brigade currently has over 10,000 personnel, comprising seven combat battalions, including an artillery battalion, a machine gun battalion, a cavalry battalion, a special operations battalion, the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, and a guard battalion. In addition, there is a 30-man sniper team."

"There are two non-combat battalions, the supply battalion and the communications battalion!"

Looking at Chen Geng, Qin Cang stood at attention and said with a serious face.

"Seven combat battalions? Two non-combat battalions?"

"Qin Cang, the boss asked you to build a special brigade that always surpasses Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, not to develop it towards the brigade level!"

When he said this again, Chen Geng felt somewhat guilty.

After all, even he, the brigade commander, did not have such luxurious configuration. The most important thing was the artillery battalion.

It is hard to imagine how Qin Cang managed to put together such an incredible team in such a short time.

"Brigade Commander, this is one of the sources of my confidence in attacking and garrisoning Ping'an County."

One of the sources?

Chen Geng was very keenly aware of this.

"So, manpower is only one of the reasons why you made this decision. What are the other reasons?"

Hearing this, Qin Cang glanced at Wang Chengzhu in front of him.

"Special Forces Brigade Artillery Regiment Commander Wang Chengzhu reports to you!"

The moment he heard this, Chen Geng nodded subconsciously, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, now we, the Eighth Route Army, also have a cannon..."

At this point, Chen Geng's voice stopped abruptly, and the word that was on the tip of his tongue could not be uttered.

"Artillery Regiment?"

"Qin Cang, what did you just say?"

"Isn't it an artillery battalion? How did it become an artillery regiment?"

Good boy, long di dong!

If this is really an artillery regiment, then how strong must the special forces brigade be!

Could it be that I have underestimated it?

Qin Cang smiled slightly and said softly, "Brigade Commander, you heard it right. It is indeed an artillery regiment, and it was established after the capture of Ping'an County."

After saying this, Qin Cang looked at Wang Chengzhu and said, "Zhu Zi, report the combat power of the artillery regiment to the brigade commander!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengzhu saluted Chen Geng first, then said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, the artillery regiment currently has only about 300 soldiers..."
