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

"Qin Cang...you...your idea is too crazy."

Looking at Qin Cang, Zhao Gang's voice was trembling, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

"Old Zhao, listen to me."

Seeing this, Qin Cang sorted out his thoughts, pulled the map off the wall, and spread it on the table in front of the two of them.

"Since the Japanese cavalry is operating in secret, they will certainly not be too high-profile. The route they choose will not be a major road, but rather some forest paths."

"And the path to the Xiji stronghold happens to pass through the elm forest not far from our base!"

Having said that, Qin Cang pointed his finger heavily at the location of the elm forest, and then spoke loudly.

"This is the cemetery I chose for the Japanese cavalry!"

"Right now, there are about three to four hundred soldiers left at our regiment headquarters. It would be easy to deal with the Japanese cavalry!"

Listening to Qin Cang's words, Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.

Even if the combat battalions were dispersed, with the strength of the soldiers left behind in the regiment headquarters, there would be basically no trouble in killing the Japanese cavalry.

However, this is just the best idea.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Gang said in a deep voice, "Qin Cang, I'm not trying to hit you."

"If I were the captain of the Japanese cavalry, I would definitely seek reinforcements from the Xiji stronghold the moment you launched your attack."

"So, reinforcements from the Xiji stronghold will definitely arrive. It's just a matter of time."

"What are you supposed to do about this?"

After he finished speaking, Qin Cang smiled confidently.

"Old Zhao, do you know why I chose Elm Forest?"

Zhao Gang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously replied, "Isn't this the place where the Japanese cavalry must pass?"

Nodding slightly, Qin Cang said slowly: "This is indeed one of the reasons, but the most important thing is the terrain here!"

"Jungle warfare places extremely high demands on the team's concealment!"

"Once there are more people, they'll become sitting ducks in the elm forest. We can hit them all!"

"The Japs aren't that stupid. They'll definitely take this into consideration. Therefore, I'm 100% certain that even if reinforcements are sent from the Xiji stronghold, the maximum number of troops will be around two or three squadrons, in order to make the target less obvious!"

"Think about it, our regiment now has your sniper team, reconnaissance company, guard battalion, and special operations battalion. Which team isn't good at jungle warfare?"

"So, relying solely on our regiment's troops, we can directly wipe out the Japanese reinforcements!"

After saying this, Qin Cang glanced at Zhao Gang and slowly moved his finger towards the final target - the Xiji stronghold.

"At this moment, the Xiji stronghold is almost empty of troops. At most, there are only three or four Japanese squadrons left!"

"But don't forget, our battle camp hasn't shown up yet!"

"Tell me, what would happen if I had Cao Zhuang's machine gun battalion, Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion, and Ge Erdan's 1st Infantry Battalion ambush near the Xiji stronghold in advance, and then leave to launch a surprise attack after their reinforcements arrived at Yulin?"

Listening to Qin Cang's deployment of troops, Zhao Gang's breathing became more rapid and his eyes widened.

No matter how he imagined the various aspects of this battle in his mind, the final result could be summed up in two words - a sure win!

However, when Qin Cang saw Zhao Gang's expression, he thought he disagreed.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Cang said earnestly, "Old Zhao, have you forgotten Gejia Village?"

"Although the military strength of Gejia Village was less than half of that of the Xiji stronghold, it was still a formidable force to me at the time!"

After Qin Cang's reminder, Zhao Gang immediately reacted.

At that time, Qin Cang was just a company commander of a special operations company, and he had only more than 170 soldiers under his command.

But what is the final result?

Not only did it destroy the communications in Gejia Village, it also made the Japanese here completely trapped. They couldn't send out messages for help, and could only use the most primitive manpower to convey messages.

Moreover, before the Japanese troops from the two strongholds of Hujuting and Xiji arrived, they eradicated the cancer of Gejia Village and looted all the Japanese troops' supplies!

In addition, Zhao Gang suddenly remembered that ever since he knew Qin Cang, he seemed to be synonymous with winning with fewer troops.

No matter whether it was Wangjiaying, Qingshan Prisoner Camp, Gejia Village, or Heyuan County, all the battles that Qin Cang had participated in were almost all victories with fewer troops!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang slowly raised his head, his eyes full of determination as he said, "Qin Cang, I agree with your battle plan!"

After hearing this, Qin Cang felt overjoyed.

You know, if it was the previous Zhao Gang, or the Zhao Gang during the Independent Regiment period, he would never agree to such a risky plan even if he was beaten to death.

But now Zhao Gang has completely changed. He is no longer so rigid and cautious, but has become ambitious!

"it is good!"

Qin Cang shouted, his face full of excitement: "Old Zhao, with your support, there will definitely be no accidents in this operation!"

"Three-pronged approach to defeat Xiji!"

After the words fell, Zhao Gang nodded with a smile, and then said slowly: "Qin Cang, the next two days are crucial."

"You just came back from Heyuan County, and it's getting late now, so go get some rest."

"You are the brains of our special forces team. Your health is the most important thing. You can't make any mistakes!"

Hearing this, Qin Cang, who was just full of enthusiasm, froze in place, looking at Zhao Gang with embarrassment and fear.

How come I never realized that this guy has such a considerate side?

Moreover, the resentful little expression at the beginning and the meticulous care now always made Qin Cang feel his hair stand on end.

"Um, Lao Zhao, you should go back as well."

Touching his nose, Qin Cang looked at Zhao Gang with vigilance in his eyes and said with some embarrassment.

"Okay! See you tomorrow then!"

After saying this, Zhao Gang slowly left the room.

Looking at Zhao Gang's back, Qin Cang shuddered subconsciously, feeling cold all over.

But the next second.

"Hahaha! Qin Cang, ah Qin Cang, you have come to this day!"

"I thought you were fearless, but it turns out you're afraid of this!"

Qin Cang was slightly startled by the laughter, but then he reacted and looked at Zhao Gang and cursed, "Zhao Gang, I'll fuck your mother! How dare you play tricks on me!"

That’s right, Zhao Gang was pretending from the beginning to the end, just to disgust Qin Cang.

After all, who made Qin Cang take the risk to go to Heyuan County without informing himself!
