Chapter 158: Night falls, Cao Geng attacks
According to incalculable estimates, at least one-third of the neutral forces in North China have completely turned against the enemy...
What's worse, some rebels disguised as Chinese monks actually claimed to capture Cao Geng first, claiming that they would raise troops to resist the Japanese pirates after receiving rewards from the Japanese army...
Such ungrateful people were so ungrateful that all the Chinese monks and people who heard such rumors shook their heads and smiled bitterly, unable to respond.
In an instant,
Originally, it was because Cao Geng and Ding Wei, two predecessors, had made great military achievements in the northwest of Shanxi that the anti-Japanese forces in North China had just ignited their confidence in revival.
Unexpectedly, once the Japanese army issued a bounty order and some neutral forces surrendered to the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates once again invaded northwest Shanxi on a large scale.
The dark abyss in North China has descended again!
……
Cao Geng and Monk Wei traveled across the vast territory of northwestern Shanxi.
Cao Geng originally planned that after the battle of supporting the Independent Regiment, his New Third Regiment's guard platoon would be almost completely wiped out.
So he planned to lead Monk Wei to build a new base for the New Third Regiment.
However, it backfired,
Unexpectedly, in the following days,
While the Japanese general Yoshio Shinozuka stepped up his efforts to clean up northwestern Shanxi, he even put a bounty on his own head...
This action made Cao Geng burst out laughing.
Cao Geng naturally knew something about the turmoil caused by this news to various forces in the entire North China region.
can only say,
Before leaving the house, disaster has already struck!
Cao Geng felt that he had not taken any action against the Japanese pirates yet, as the other side was already getting impatient.
A bounty of up to three million spirit stones?
"It seems that Shinozuka Yoshio really sees me as a strong rival..."
At this moment, Cao Geng and Monk Wei stepped into a city. The two men wore cloaks on their heads and stared at the bounty posted at the city gate. Cao Geng raised his eyebrows contemptuously.
"Your Excellency, have you considered using an alias? Not only are the Japanese demons searching for you throughout North China, but even many sects and forces in China will abandon the right path because of the temptation of the 300,000 spirit stones. We are expected to face an extremely dangerous situation." Wei Yuanzhen suggested in a serious tone.
“Changing one’s name? Isn’t that what those who have lost all their spiritual roots would do?” Cao Changqing disagreed with this, and a carefree smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
What a joke! Why does Cao Changqing need to hide his identity? Although there are not many monks under Cao Changqing at this moment, the various camps of the New Third Regiment are currently recruiting more disciples.
However, Cao Changqing is equipped with the secret method of winter cultivation, which is a rare treasure in the world and is not a joke. Even if the Japanese demons set up a net in North China to hunt him down, Cao Changqing is not afraid. Whether it is the remnants of the demons or the pseudo-immortals who betrayed their masters in China, Cao Changqing is confident that he can defeat them one by one.
As for hiding his identity, Cao Changqing actually hoped that as many people as possible would challenge him. This way, he could kill demons and monsters happily, and contribute a little to the early eradication of the Japanese evil monsters that invaded China.
"If I were like you, I would have been lurking around anonymously long ago." Wei Yuanzhen stared at Cao Changqing in astonishment, his face flushed slightly. After all, Cao Changqing mentioned that he was a rootless person just now, which made him quite embarrassed.
At this moment, Wei Yuanzhen felt that their leader was extremely brave and even more decisive than himself. When faced with the threat of a wanted man by the Japanese demon tribe and the possible threat of traitors within China, he did not even try to conceal his identity and acted by his real name, which was extremely admirable.
"The commander is indeed the spiritual leader of the new Third Regiment, upholding the will to draw the sword. I can only look up to and sincerely admire the commander's decisions. So what should we do next?" Wei Yuanzhen asked Cao Changqing.
Since the team leader does not want to use a pseudonym, he must have a clear plan for the next step.
"We need to find a place to stand." Cao Changqing said in a flat tone, not taking the bounty on the Japanese demon tribe seriously.
Whatever Cao Changqing wants to do in the future, he will do it step by step. He said, "I heard that there is a place called Qingfeng Village on a mountain not far from here. There is a group of rebellious people who are secretly loyal to the Japanese demons. I naturally sneer at these treacherous people. We might as well go to Qingfeng Village first, wipe them out completely, and occupy a new base for recruiting disciples and cultivating forces for my new third regiment."
After hearing Cao Changqing's suggestion, Wei Yuanzhen agreed without hesitation. Then, the two of them set off immediately and rushed towards Qingfeng Village.
After the Japanese posted the reward for Cao Geng's spirit crystals to all bases in North China, the news shook all the major sects in the North China cultivation world like thunder. The Anti-Japanese Monks' Union headquarters, which had just settled down in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, naturally received this information without exception.
"You actually offered such a high reward of spirit crystals to Cao Geng?"
When the old leader and the deputy chief strategist heard this, they were both surprised.
Actually,
When the Japanese invaders launched another large-scale suppression operation and dealt a more severe blow to the Eighth Route Army, it was not unexpected for the old alliance leaders. After all, when the Japanese invaders last launched a suppression operation, it was the Eighth Route Army's New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment that jointly damaged the important Xianyuan supply lines of the three cities under the control of the Japanese invaders.
However, the Japanese invaders once again launched a genocidal crackdown in the northwest of Shanxi, and issued a huge reward of spirit crystals for Cao Geng. This was beyond the expectations of the old leader and the deputy chief strategist.
"It seems that Cao Geng's attacks on the Japanese invaders during this period have attracted Yoshio Shinozuka's high attention..." the deputy chief strategist sighed with deep emotion.
Only the Chief of General Staff of the First Army of the Japanese Invaders could promise a reward of 300,000 spirit crystals to the high-ranking Japanese invaders.
"The Japanese invaders' actions are now extremely unfavorable to our army's situation. Not only have they intensified their comprehensive crackdown on our army, they have even extended their hands to our army's high-ranking monk leaders." The old leader curled his lips slightly.
Obviously, these Japanese invaders attempted to disrupt the situation in northwestern Shanxi by offering high rewards, trying to make the neutral forces in the region more inclined to the side of the Japanese invaders.
Compared with the purpose of capturing Cao Geng, perhaps the latter - changing the power structure of the entire northwest Shanxi region - would be more important to the Japanese invaders.
The deputy chief strategist naturally also saw through Yoshio Shinozuka's true intentions.
"Old leader, how should we respond?" The deputy chief strategist stared at the old leader and asked seriously.
