Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Chapter 184 Elite Applied in Critical Moments

Seeing the uniforms of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the puppet troops in Wanling Town immediately recognized the markings of the 358th Regiment.

Fear drove them to abandon their towns and flee in all directions.

The First Battalion of the Third Column tried its best to capture forty-seven prisoners.

Sun Jiang was furious: "Damn coward, what's the point of running away!"

The puppet soldiers felt that they were extremely innocent.

You have come to our doorstep, if we don't run away, are we just waiting to die?

Especially the 358th Regiment, everyone there is ruthless and cruel, they will kill everyone without leaving any survivors, they are notorious!

Who dares not to escape?

Looking at the handful of prisoners in front of him, Sun Jiang felt annoyed.

The Second Column wiped out nearly four hundred enemy troops in one fell swoop. How impressive!

However, my Third Column, which consisted of a battalion, attacked but only captured more than 40 prisoners in the end. It was really shameful!

Sun Jiang felt ashamed to face people.

His sharp eyes swept over the prisoners.

Feeling his stern gaze, the puppet army prisoners knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy:

"General, please spare my life! I am just trying to make a living and have never done anything bad! Please understand!"

"Humph!" Sun Jiang was not interested in these weaklings. "Take them to the mines!"

The mine needs to expand production and is short of labor!

These prisoners worked quite hard.

Didn’t they do a great job last time when they dealt with Xie Baoqing and his gang in Dagu Mountain?

They work hard without complaint and never ask for pay. There are no better workers than them in the world!

"Yes, sir!" A line of soldiers immediately escorted the prisoners to the secret mineral realm of Dagu Mountain.

Sun Jiang roared loudly: "We can't show off such a victory when we go back. Go, search the houses of those traitors and don't leave any valuable items behind!"

He didn't need to say much, the First Battalion of the Third Column quickly imprisoned those traitors who were loyal to the alien race.

The 358th Legion showed no mercy to these traitors.

Unless you surrender, any extra words will only result in bullets. No more dragging your feet.

However...

Wanjia Town is now located at the intersection of the spheres of influence of the 358th Legion and the Independent Legion, and both armies are very famous.

Last time, the 358th Legion raided Wanjia Town and looted the traitors' ill-gotten gains.

Now there are almost no traitors who dare to serve in Wanjia Town.

Apart from the pseudo-police chief who had some money, his wealth consisted of only a few hundred silver coins.

Nothing else.

Forty puppet army prisoners were exchanged for less than two thousand silver coins?

An entire battalion was dispatched just for this little gain. Sun Jiang's face turned pale and none of his soldiers dared to get close.

Sun Jiang has an extremely bad temper.

In fact, most officers were extremely irritable and were like powder kegs that could ignite at any time.

The commander of the first battalion, Xu Jishen, stepped forward and suggested: "Commander, the towns and villages occupied by the puppet army are either occupied by us or cleared by the rebels. There is not much to be gained. Why don't we go to other counties and towns to have a look!"

Sun Jiang stared at him and asked, "What are your plans?"

Xu Jishen quickly suggested: "How about Xin County? It is a transportation hub, and there are some mineral vein owners there, who are very rich!"

Sun Jiang roared: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Find out the information about Xin County right now! Damn it, I must make a big profit this time, otherwise I will be too ashamed to face anyone."

While the Third Column attacked Wanjia Town, the First Column also raided a fortress of the alien race.

Without Cao Geng's restraint, the 358th Legion was like a volcano that had been dormant for many years, erupting.

For a time, foreigners and traitors in towns such as Anhua County and Xin County around Ping'an County were subjected to severe harassment and attacks.

At the Independent Corps headquarters, Li Tailong asked the commander of the reconnaissance company to step down. He took the newly delivered intelligence and began to study it.

He lit a cigarette and said, "The 358th Legion has been very active recently!"

Zhao Gang held a hot water cup and said with a smile: "Brother Yunfei is busy visiting Hu Zongnan and Fu Zuoyi to set up a caravan. Without anyone to supervise him, his men are naturally making a lot of noise!"

"In my opinion, we should let them go now and let them show their strength. How can we know their ability if we don't let them go?" Li Tailong shouted: "If I had Cao Geng's weapons and equipment, I would dare to attack Taiyuan! In my opinion, Cao Geng is too cowardly. What is he afraid of? Why doesn't he dare to go to Taiyuan to compete with those foreign races!"

Zhao Gang put down his teacup and said, "Old Li, what are you yelling about? If Cao Geng hears it, it will have a very bad impact! Cao Geng's strategic vision is much more far-sighted than yours. Can Taiyuan be attacked casually? Once we start, we will definitely attract a large army of foreign races to encircle and suppress us. Even if we have the ability to capture Taiyuan now, can we hold it?"

When the giant dragon Li Tailong was angry, only a few ancient sages could tame him. It was a pipe dream for the rest of them to calm him down!

Li Tailong roared, "Mother of the Abyss, Lao Zhao, why do you always protect Cao Geng? You are the political commissar of our independent corps, not the 358th Corps! Cao Geng is unwilling to attack Taiyal City and only wants to curl up in this remote place. Where should our independent corps attack? Lao Zhao, how can you be a political commissar? Ping'an County was handed over to the 358th Corps, and so was Heyuan County. They enjoyed all the glory in the battle with the demons, while our independent corps could only watch and could not even get a share of the spoils. Why should all the benefits belong to the 358th Corps? Do you really regard them as your own children, and our independent corps is an abandoned child?"

Zhao Gang, who also possesses fiery emotions, understands that he cannot indulge Li Tailong's impulsiveness.

Otherwise, he will definitely go further and make provocations wantonly.

He loudly retorted: "Now the 358th Corps is strong and powerful, and even an entire corps has surrendered to us. The superiors naturally value them. You can calculate how many weapons Cao Geng has obtained for us in the past two years. It is enough to equip at least one division! If it were not for him, how could our independent corps have such a rich reserve of ammunition? Not to mention those precious healing potions. If he had not negotiated with the Shadow Organization, how could they be delivered to us? These, Captain Li, can you do it?"

After Zhao Gang's provocation, Li Tailong thought deeply and realized that he was indeed inferior to Cao Geng in this regard.

He complained unconvincedly: "But you can't be so biased. After all, we are the main army. We can't just sit there and do nothing! If our independent army doesn't fight the devil and its minions, how can it grow and develop?"

Zhao Gang knew very well that it was a waste of the independent army's resources to stay in this mountain range.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The superiors must have thought it through carefully. Good steel should be used at the critical moment. Why are you complaining here? The last time I attended a meeting at the brigade headquarters, the commander meant that we should be transferred to other places. There are three choices before us!"

It doesn't matter where you go, the key is to be able to fight the demons.

Li Tailong quickly asked: "Which three places?"
