Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

The book is good, but writing modern war novels on Qidian is a thankless task. There's a common problem: no matter how much you fight or how many merits you accumulate, it's difficult to become a commander, let alone participate in large-scale troop operations. There's a ceiling to the genre.

I'm completely confused. I don't know what the point of your time travel is. The war against the Japanese pirates lasted for so long, and so many soldiers and civilians died. The three-year war in the later period was the same. The land on the other side, that island, Hong Kong, and Yunnan were not recovered. Crossing the river was also filled with human lives.

Zhou Weiguo, please take note of my deployment: The Fourth Battalion, the First and Second Guerrilla Detachments will reinforce the defensive line and block the enemy at Luyang; the First and Second Battalions, along with the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Guerrilla Detachments and the regimental artillery company, will be responsible for the defense of Ping'an; the Third Battalion, along with the…

My plan is for the protagonist to fight alongside his mentor in the Southwest Shandong Campaign, then remain in the region to cover the Central Plains Field Army's long-range advance into the Dabie Mountains. The protagonist's column and the 11th Column of the Central Plains Field Army would form the Chen Corps to support the East China Field Army.

I felt like I shouldn't have read this book after the Liberation War part. Dozens of chapters were written like a movie about a major battle, the protagonist didn't play any role, the system was just a freebie, and they didn't even dare to write the troop levels.

Is this book just a cash grab? Even watching the TV show "The Final Battle" is better than this!!! Calling a 50,000-60,000-strong unit a "detachment" is utterly ridiculous. With more people, it could be called a "detachment corps." I laughed. Is the censorship process really that strict for 500-600 chapters? What a crappy detachment!

The downsides are also obvious: this kind of subject matter involves sensitive areas, making it impossible to write about them. It's much more comfortable reading what's next door.

It's another story of the protagonist having the best battle record in the world; and then, starting as a battalion commander, he remains a battalion commander for life.

Yes, it's very good. It's much better than those system novels. It provides information reasonably, instead of mindless system novels where the system just fires submachine guns and cannons all the time.

This wiped out three or four thousand Japanese soldiers in one fell swoop, and the protagonist was made a regimental commander??? Even Su Yu didn't have such outstanding achievements during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
