Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Lingyun looked at Zhang Dabiao with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Dabiao, you have been fighting hard recently, haven't you? You always lead the assault team to the front, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to hold on."

Zhang Dabiao smiled and said nonchalantly: "Captain, don't worry, our hard work is nothing. If you saw the Japanese's frustrated look, you would be happier than us."

Li Yunlong laughed loudly after hearing this: "Da Biaozi is right. We want to defeat the Japanese and make them lose their weapons and armor, so that they will know how powerful our Eighth Route Army is."

Zhang Lingyun relaxed a little, but soon returned to his serious expression: "However, everyone still needs to pay attention to safety. We are not trying to win one or two battles, but to finish this war alive. The lives of our brothers are precious and cannot be easily risked."

Zhang Dabiao nodded, his expression becoming serious: "The commander is right, we will not act rashly. Brothers all know that only by staying alive can we have the opportunity to win more battles."

Zhang Lingyun took a deep puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled, his eyes showing a firmness: "Yes, staying alive is the most important thing. Each of us has the responsibility to protect ourselves and the brothers around us. Only in this way can we finally win this war."

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao both nodded in agreement, and the three of them smoked silently, thinking about their own concerns. Although Zhang Lingyun's self-blame was not completely eliminated, he was comforted a little by the company of these brothers.

"We have a tough battle tomorrow, so everyone should go to bed early." Zhang Lingyun said finally, with a hint of gentle concern in his tone.

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao stood up at the same time, looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander, we will get enough rest and beat the Japanese so badly tomorrow that they won't even be able to find the north."

Zhang Lingyun smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, everyone go and rest. Tomorrow, we will fight side by side again."

The two turned and left, and the tent returned to silence. Zhang Lingyun sat there alone, his cigarette had burned out, but he still held the butt in his hand, staring at the ground, as if he was thinking about something.

It was late at night, and the wind blew the curtains of the tent, making a slight sound. Zhang Lingyun stood up, walked outside the tent, and looked up at the starry sky. The night sky was vast and silent, and the stars twinkled in the distant sky, as if praying for this war-torn land.

Zhang Lingyun made up his mind silently that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would lead

Zhang Ling went to the toilet and was frightened by Blind Cheng, who kicked him down.

The night was deep and the camp was quiet, with only the breeze blowing between the tents. After staying up late to arrange the battle plan for the next day, Zhang Lingyun felt uncomfortable in his stomach and quietly walked out of the command post to relieve himself.

He was very familiar with the terrain around the camp. Every rock and tree was a defensive point that he had personally selected. Even in the dark, he could accurately find the nearest toilet. As he walked, he whispered to himself, "This day is really tiring. I have to finish it quickly. I have to get up early tomorrow to command the battle."

Just as he was about to reach the toilet, he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the bushes not far away. Zhang Lingyun's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stopped and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at the bushes in the dark, and his vigilance was instantly raised to the extreme.

"Who's there?" Zhang Lingyun shouted in a deep voice, with a hint of suppressed threat in his voice.

However, what he got in response was a moment of silence. This made Zhang Lingyun even more alert. He quickly took out his pistol and whispered to himself, "Could it be that the Japanese sneaked in? No, I have to find out."

He bent down and quietly approached the bush. Just as he was about to investigate carefully, the bush suddenly moved violently, and a dark shadow jumped out, moving as fast as a cheetah. Seeing this, Zhang Lingyun raised his leg without hesitation and kicked it hard.

"Bang!" The black shadow was kicked by Zhang Lingyun and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground with a muffled sound. Zhang Lingyun was quick-witted and approached quickly, pointing his gun at the black shadow lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Who are you? If you don't speak, I will not be polite!"

"Hey, Captain, it's me!" A familiar voice came from the ground, with obvious pain and grievance. Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and quickly moved closer to see clearly that it was Blind Cheng.

"Blind Cheng? Why are you here?" Zhang Lingyun put down his gun, his face full of surprise and confusion, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and sneaking around here?"

Blind Cheng grinned, obviously still in pain from the kick, but he still struggled to sit up, rubbing his stomach, "Captain, I... I came here to scout the enemy, but who knew you would suddenly appear and kick me."

Zhang Lingyun sighed helplessly and reached out to pull up Blind Cheng. "Why are you here to do reconnaissance in the middle of the night? If you have any findings, why don't you just come and report it?"

Blind Cheng smiled awkwardly and patted the dust off his body. "Captain, you know my eyesight is not good. I can't see very clearly during the day. At night, my ears are sharp and I can hear a lot of movements that I can't hear at other times. I thought of doing some reconnaissance at night to see if there are any Japanese coming."

Zhang Lingyun nodded. Although he was a little angry, he was still touched by Cheng Xiazi's diligence. "I understand your intention, but don't take such risks next time, especially at this point. If we really encounter the enemy, we won't be able to support you in time."

Blind Cheng scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I was also worried that the Japanese would launch a sneak attack in the dark, so I wanted to share some of the pressure with you. But I was really scared just now. I didn't expect it was you."

Zhang Lingyun shook his head helplessly. "Should I say you are brave or timid? Blind man, you are brave, but you have to be strategic in your actions. Next time you do this kind of night reconnaissance, at least bring someone with you, don't rush ahead alone."

Blind Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Captain, you are right, I will remember it. Next time I will definitely bring someone with me so as not to cause you any trouble."

Zhang Lingyun finally felt relieved, but he still reminded them, "Although your eyesight is not very good, your sense of smell and hearing are sharper than ordinary people. This is your advantage and also our precious resource. However, you still have to remember that safety should be the first priority in any action."

Blind Cheng looked at Zhang Lingyun gratefully, his voice full of sincerity, "Captain, I understand what you mean. I will pay attention in the future and never be so reckless again."

Zhang Lingyun nodded and said slowly: "Okay, remember what you said today. Also, don't scare me again at night. If I hadn't recognized your voice just now, I really can't guarantee that the gun in my hand would not go off accidentally."

Blind Cheng scratched his head again, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "Yes, yes, Captain, I will never make you worry again."

Zhang Lingyun smiled and said, "Okay, don't hang around here in the middle of the night. Go back and have a good rest. We still have a battle to fight tomorrow, so conserving our energy is the key."

Blind Cheng nodded in agreement and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped and looked a little hesitant. He looked back at Zhang Lingyun, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Zhang Lingyun noticed his expression and asked.

Blind Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Captain, I actually have something to tell you, but this matter... is a bit sensitive, I don't know if I should mention it."

Zhang Lingyun frowned slightly, his intuition told him that Blind Cheng had something important to say, "Just say whatever you want to say. You are my subordinate and also my brother. Let's work together to find a solution to any problem."

Blind Cheng took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind. "Captain, I recently discovered that there seemed to be some unidentified people wandering around our camp. I didn't dare to get too close, but just watched from a distance. I felt that their actions were very suspicious."

Zhang Lingyun's expression immediately became serious when he heard this. "Unidentified person? When did it happen?"

"Just these two nights." Blind Cheng whispered, "They didn't show up during the day and were only active at night. I was afraid of alarming them, so I didn't approach them rashly."

All kinds of possibilities immediately flashed through Zhang Lingyun's mind. He pondered for a moment and said in a low and serious tone, "Blind man, you are right about this matter. We can't act rashly. We are in a wartime state now, and any unknown movements cannot be taken lightly."

Blind Cheng nodded in agreement and continued, "I will continue to observe in the next two days, but I think these people may be spies of the devils, or their local informants."

Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath and made a preliminary judgment in his mind. "Since we have such suspicions, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Tomorrow, you take a few people and spread them around the camp. Pay attention to the movements of those people who appear again, and try to find out their range of activities. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

A trace of determination flashed in Blind Cheng's eyes, "Understood, Captain, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter."

Zhang Lingyun nodded, feeling a little relieved. "Okay, now that we have made arrangements, don't worry about it anymore. Go back and have a rest. There are more important tasks waiting for us tomorrow."

Blind Cheng nodded in response, then turned and left, disappearing into the night. Zhang Lingyun stood there, watching him go away, but his heart was still restless.

"Unidentified person..." Zhang Lingyun repeated this word in his heart, and quickly deduced various possibilities in his mind. He knew that this war was not just a battle on the front battlefield, but also an invisible battle of intelligence, assassination, sabotage, etc. As a commander, he must always be vigilant to ensure the safety of the entire camp.
