Wang Cheng, an extra, transmigrates to a parallel world of the TV series Bright Sword, where he becomes Wang Chengzhu, an artilleryman under Li Yunlong.
After the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, Li Yunlong wants to keep his position, so he gives the commander a solemn pledge: in three months, he will build the New First Regiment into a reinforced regiment equal to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's 358th Regiment.
Three months later, the whole regiment assembles.
First Battalion Commander: I have 500 more men than before.
Second Battalion Commander: I have fewer than 1,000 men, but I also have two Italian cannons.
Wang Chengzhu looks over his troops. “Commander, you only gave me the authorization for one platoon, but surely it isn't unreasonable for my platoon to have a few extra men, is it?
“Besides, to ensure the safety of the artillery, I set up a guard force consisting of an infantry battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a logistics battalion, a cavalry battalion, and a special operations battalion. That's not unreasonable either, right?”
