High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

"Okay! Thank you for your trust, Commander Zhao!"

Li Mo stood ramrod straight and then gave Zhao Zhenyuan a military salute.

Just as Li Mo went out on a mission, almost all the soldiers in the vanguard battalion had finished their rest and recuperation.

Upon returning to camp, Li Mo immediately issued an order, instructing all soldiers to select their own men from other camps.

Since Li Mo has been promoted to regimental commander, all the original soldiers will naturally be promoted as well: squad leaders will be promoted to platoon leaders, platoon leaders to company commanders, and so on.

These soldiers were originally elite troops, and the soldiers they selected themselves were naturally of high quality, saving Li Mo a lot of trouble.

What really gave Li Mo a headache was the artillery battalion that Zhao Zhenyuan had promised.

To be honest, in the previous battles, although Li Mo's troops were equipped with all kinds of modern heavy weapons, they did not have a dedicated artillery unit.

But Li Mo also noticed the problem: because there was no specific artillery classification, everyone was firing haphazardly.

On several occasions, if it weren't for the dense enemy formation, their artillery fire would have had a very low hit rate.

The previous attack was a sneak attack, but in order to compete for the Seven Yuan Mountains, the three kingdoms will inevitably engage in a large number of major battles on the front lines. At that time, the accuracy of artillery shells will be very important.

Fortunately, Li Mo already had a way to deal with this.

Among the prisoners rescued in the rainforest mining area, many were veterans with manipulation talents.

Martial artists with manipulation-type talents are not strong in actual combat, and can even be said to be very weak, so they have a high probability of being captured on the battlefield.

Correspondingly, they find it particularly easy to use various instruments, and they can even achieve a state of mental unity with these instruments.

Li Mo immediately ordered these hundreds of martial artists with manipulation talents to form an artillery battalion. He believed that it wouldn't be long before they could build a powerful force.

Furthermore, Zhao Zhenyuan stated that all the weapons needed to form an artillery battalion could be obtained from the armory, which greatly facilitated Li Mo.

In the following days, Li Mo devoted himself to forming an independent regiment. He was either training soldiers or on his way to training soldiers. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten days, Li Mo's independent regiment has reached a basic size. The artillery battalion has been established, and Li Mo has also specially reorganized three battalions.

These were the First and Second Battalions, responsible for combat, and the Third Battalion, responsible for reconnaissance or harassing the enemy.

One of the battalions, led by Zheng Jiahao, was the elite force of the entire regiment.

The Second Battalion, led by Xu Feng, was the largest in the entire regiment, with a strength of 3,000 men. However, its combat effectiveness was slightly inferior to that of the First Battalion, so once on the battlefield, it mainly served as an auxiliary force to the First Battalion.

The Third Battalion was the weakest unit in the regiment in terms of combat effectiveness and had the fewest personnel, with only about a thousand men. Qin Zhengnan served as the battalion commander.

Qin Zhengnan's Eye of the Void Demon King can see through everything and anticipate the enemy's moves, making it most suitable for carrying out reconnaissance missions.

Wu Yuqing was promoted to deputy commander of the Independent Regiment.

Originally, Li Mo wanted Zheng Jiahao to serve as deputy regimental commander and Wu Yuqing as battalion commander of the first battalion, but Zheng Jiahao refused.

Zheng Jiahao's reasoning was simple: the position of deputy regimental commander must be held by the person with the highest combat strength, and he was clearly not qualified.

Only Wu Yuqing, a descendant of the Sword God Wu Bai, was able to suppress everyone when Li Mo was not around.

Therefore, Zheng Jiahao served as the battalion commander of the First Battalion and also concurrently as the staff officer of the Independent Regiment.

Seeing this, Li Mo had no choice but to agree.

Ten days of training have already given this newly formed unit a certain level of combat capability.

And then, the unprecedented Three Kingdoms War was about to begin.

In recent times, the Black Soil Tribe, which has lost 100,000 troops, has been continuously transferring new recruits from its homeland to expand its manpower. Because its supply line was cut off by Li Mo, they have also transferred a lot of additional supplies from their homeland in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, the forces of the White European Empire and the Great Xia Empire were roughly the same.

However, the Great Xia has a disadvantage: it currently has a small number of troops on its own soil, and there are still many places that need to be garrisoned by soldiers, unlike the White European Empire and the Black Earth Tribe.

They have expanded their army to around 600,000 men, while the Great Xia only has 500,000.

In terms of numbers, the Great Xia is still at a disadvantage.

Another point is that the distance between the troops of the three countries and the Qiyuan Mountains is now almost the same. Any schemes and tricks are useless. There is no other way but to take the Qiyuan Mountains by fighting head-on.

However, no one dared to make the first move, because whoever dared to enter the Seven Yuan Mountains first would become the target of the other two countries.

This means that whoever enters the Seven Yuan Mountains first will face a situation where they are fighting two against one.

Zhao Zhenyuan originally wanted the White European Empire and the Black Earth Tribe to fight each other first, so that the Great Xia could reap the benefits. However, neither country was stupid and neither wanted to be the first to take the lead.

The Great Xia is currently at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so Zhao Zhenyuan was the first to become restless.

After the Independent Regiment was finally formed, Li Mo also received military orders.

At 7 p.m., all officers at the regimental level and above in the entire army rushed to the commander-in-chief's camp for a meeting!

Everyone knew that Zhao Zhenyuan was preparing for war!

The officers in the army were somewhat apprehensive, because Zhao Zhenyuan had only been a marshal for a few years, and everyone knew that he was a master of blitzkrieg tactics, but this kind of positional warfare seemed to be a first for him.

When Li Mo arrived at the commander's tent after putting on his military uniform, the place was already full of people.

Because Li Mo was promoted exceptionally, he was meeting many of the cadres for the first time. However, when they saw Li Mo arrive, everyone rushed to greet him.

All the generals in the army knew that Li Mo was now a favorite of the marshal, so they naturally vied to build a good relationship with him.

"General Li, I am Zhao Xin, the leader of the Wandering Gang. I hope we can get along well in the future!"

"General Li, I am Lu Mo, the commander of the Zhenxi Regiment. This is the latest high-end watch released by Hisense Technology. Please accept it!"

Faced with everyone's compliments, Li Mo was somewhat at a loss for words.

He could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Please don't be so formal, everyone. I'm just a leader, just like you. From now on, you can just call me by my name!"

Li Mo now truly understands how troublesome the rank of major general is. Most of the middle-aged and young cadres in the military flatter him, while the older generation disdains him and doesn't even bother to look at him.

Li Mo is currently in a very precarious position.

On one side, he was the focus of everyone's attention; on the other, he was the core of everyone's dislike. Li Mo felt extremely uncomfortable just sitting there.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhenyuan came out quickly, and as everyone expected, Zhao Zhenyuan was ready to start the battle.

When he came out, he took out a map, which was a map of the Qiyuan Mountains, with many points marked on it.

Upon seeing this, Li Mo immediately frowned, because judging from Zhao Zhenyuan's intention, he planned to let Great Xia enter the Seven Yuan Mountains first, which meant that Great Xia's 500,000 troops would have to face the joint encirclement and suppression of the White Europe Empire and the Black Earth Tribe's 1.2 million troops!
