Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling picked up the radio again and said coldly into the microphone: "Li Yunlong, stop all actions immediately and retreat to your original positions!"

This time, Li Yunlong's voice was filled with obvious frustration and apology, "Commander, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

Zhang Ling's voice was as cold as steel. "Withdraw immediately! We'll talk about it later."

Li Yunlong did not dare to say anything more and immediately led his squad back to the original defense line. The battle on the exercise field gradually subsided, but Zhang Ling's mood did not ease at all. He knew that he had to handle this incident well, both to appease the emotions of the opposing troops and to deal seriously with Li Yunlong's behavior as a punishment.

After the exercise, Zhang Ling called all the participating officers to the headquarters for a summary. He stood in front of everyone with a stern look in his eyes and a tone of obvious majesty and dissatisfaction.

"The purpose of this joint exercise is to enhance the coordinated combat capabilities of our two armies. Unfortunately, due to the unauthorized actions of some individuals, the exercise was in chaos. This not only affected our performance, but also caused unnecessary trouble to the other side's troops."

Li Yunlong stood aside, lowering his head, his face full of regret and anxiety. He knew that he had really caused a big disaster this time and brought trouble to the entire army.

Zhang Ling's eyes swept over Li Yunlong, and his tone was a little cold. "Li Yunlong, as a veteran, you should know the importance of discipline. This action not only violated orders, but also brought shame to our entire unit. As a punishment, you will be stripped of all your merits in this exercise, and from today on, you will be confined for one month for training."

Li Yunlong's face turned even paler when he heard this, but he knew he was in the wrong and had nothing to say. He could only respond in a low voice: "Yes, Chief, I accept the punishment."

Zhang Ling continued: "This incident has sounded a wake-up call for all of us. On the battlefield, any unauthorized action may lead to serious consequences. We must always maintain a high level of discipline and teamwork."

The officers all nodded silently. They knew that Zhang Ling's reprimand was completely justified, especially in such an important exercise, no mistakes were allowed to occur.

After the summary meeting, Zhang Ling walked up to Li Yunlong and looked at him with a complex tone, "Yunlong, you are one of my most trusted fighters. I have always hoped that you can display your talents on the battlefield. But you must understand that the battlefield is not a stage for one person, and any action must take into account the interests of the whole."

Li Yunlong looked up at Zhang Ling with deep regret in his eyes, "Commander, I really know I was wrong. This time I was too impulsive and did not consider the consequences. I will definitely correct it in the future."

Zhang Ling sighed softly and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder. "I believe you can correct it, but you must remember this lesson. On the battlefield, any small mistake will lead to irreversible consequences."

Li Yunlong nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination, "Commander, I will remember this lesson and will never make the same mistake again."

Zhang Ling looked at Li Yunlong, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but

Zhang Ling wanted to eat meat recently, so he asked the soldiers to go hunting in the mountains. Whoever caught the meat would be rewarded with first-class military merit.

The autumn mountain breeze brought a hint of coolness. Zhang Ling stood in front of the headquarters, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance. The recent war came to an end, and the troops temporarily got a rare rest time, but the long battle had greatly consumed the soldiers' physical strength and energy. In order to boost morale, Zhang Ling decided to give the soldiers a special task - hunting in the mountains.

Zhang Ling had already made plans in mind. Although the recent continuous military rations could guarantee everyone's basic nutrition, the long period without fresh meat had somewhat affected the soldiers' mental state. Moreover, hunting could not only improve the food, but also allow the soldiers to relax in the intervals between intense battles.

Zhang Ling walked up to the assembled soldiers, his eyes sparkling, his tone full of expectation and challenge: "Comrades, you have all worked hard recently. The battles have been intense, and the food has been a bit monotonous. I know you all want to improve the food, so I decided to give you a task - go hunting in the mountains."

When the soldiers heard the word "hunting", they immediately showed excitement and curiosity. On weekdays, apart from fighting and training, they rarely had the opportunity to do such things. This mission not only allowed them to relax, but also brought back food, so everyone was eager to try.

"Commander, is this true?" Li Yunlong was the first to come forward, his eyes full of anticipation. "Going up the mountain to hunt can also improve the food. This is much more interesting than training!"

Zhang Ling smiled, nodded and said, "Of course it's true. But this hunting is not just for eating meat, it's also a challenge. I've decided that whoever can catch the prey will be rewarded with a first-class military merit!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers became excited. First-class military merit is no small reward. It not only means personal honor, but may also directly affect future promotions.

Zhao Gang stood aside and asked with a little doubt: "Commander, hunting in the mountains is indeed fun, but our troops usually focus on fighting. Can we really go up the mountain so easily this time?"

Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning, and he explained: "Zhao Gang, I know you are worried. But now is the rest period, and proper relaxation will help restore the soldiers' physical strength and morale. Hunting can also train everyone's observation and reaction speed, which will also be helpful for future battles."

Zhao Gang nodded, thinking that what Zhang Ling said made sense. He looked at the soldiers and found that everyone was ready to go, obviously looking forward to the hunt.

Zhang Ling took a look around and said with satisfaction, "Okay, since everyone is so motivated, I will simply assign the tasks. Li Yunlong, you will lead a team to the northern forests, where there are more wild animals; Zhao Gang, you will lead another team to the southern valley, where the terrain is complex but there is a chance of finding large prey."

When Li Yunlong heard that he was responsible for the forest in the north, he immediately showed a confident smile, "Don't worry, Commander, I am very familiar with the forest in the north. I promise to bring you big prey!"

Zhao Gang said cautiously, "Commander, the terrain of the valley in the south is indeed complicated. I will ask everyone to be careful and ensure safety."

Zhang Ling nodded in agreement. "Okay, that's it. Everyone, please pay attention to safety, don't be too brave, retreat in time when you encounter danger, and don't take risks just for prey. Our goal is to improve the food, not to fight for our lives."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Understood, Commander!"

Afterwards, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang each led a team of men and set off. Zhang Ling stood at the entrance of the camp and watched them leave, his heart full of expectation and worry. He knew that although this hunting trip was a relaxation, it was also a test for the soldiers. He hoped that they could successfully complete the task, not only bring back the prey, but also get exercise in the process.

In the forest to the north, Li Yunlong led his team forward quickly. He has always been known for his keen observation and bold actions, and this time is no exception. Li Yunlong holds a bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes scanning around, ready to attack at any time.

"Brother Yunlong, you have been to this forest several times, right? We will definitely catch big prey this time!" A young soldier said excitedly, holding the hunting rifle tightly in his hand.

Li Yunlong smiled, with a bit of confidence in his tone, "Of course! I have been to this forest no less than five times, I know exactly where the prey is. You follow me closely, I guarantee that the commander will be satisfied."

As he was speaking, Li Yunlong suddenly stopped and stared ahead. He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then lowered his voice and said, "There is movement ahead, everyone be careful."

The team immediately quieted down, and everyone followed Li Yunlong's instructions and moved forward carefully. After passing through a few bushes, they saw a wild boar digging the soil with its nose under a tree.

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with excitement, he gently raised his bow and arrow, aiming at the wild boar. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Li Yunlong's move.

Li Yunlong adjusted his breathing, pulled the bowstring steadily, and aimed at the vital part of the wild boar. At this moment, he let go, and the arrow flew out like lightning, accurately hitting the wild boar's neck.

The wild boar screamed, struggled a few times and fell to the ground, and its blood dyed the surrounding grass red. The team cheered and everyone looked at Li Yunlong with admiration.

"Brother Yunlong, you are really worthy of your name! Such a big wild boar is enough for us to eat for several meals!" said the young soldier excitedly.

Li Yunlong smiled proudly, then waved his hand to signal everyone to come forward, "Let's go and take a look, we finally got off to a good start today!"

On the other side, the team led by Zhao Gang was slowly advancing in the valley in the south. Compared with Li Yunlong's boldness, Zhao Gang was always more cautious. He led the team to carefully search the surrounding terrain to ensure that no place where prey might be hidden was missed.

The valley had a complex terrain, and the occasional bird calls made it seem particularly quiet. Zhao Gang knew that there might be large prey in this area, but it also meant danger. He was careful with every step he took to avoid putting the team in unnecessary danger.

"Brother Zhao, it doesn't look easy to walk here. There may be a trap ahead. Do you want to take a detour?" an experienced veteran asked in a low voice.

Zhao Gang nodded, thought for a moment and said, "You are right. Safety comes first. Let's take a detour. Everyone, watch your step and be careful."

Just as they were about to go around a hillside, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the front. Zhao Gang immediately signaled the team to stop and looked around vigilantly. Soon, they found a few sika deer eating grass not far ahead.

"Brother Zhao, it's a sika deer!" a soldier whispered excitedly.
