Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Lingyun was silent for a while, his fingers gently stroking the railing of the birdcage, his eyes becoming somewhat profound, "Yes, I wanted to let it go many times, but I was always reluctant. It has followed me through many battles, and I feel that it is just like us, struggling to survive on this battlefield, and we have become dependent on each other."

Li Yunlong felt a complicated emotion when listening to Zhang Lingyun's words. He knew that this little bird was not just an ordinary bird to Zhang Lingyun, but a spiritual support and a symbolic existence for him in the war.

"Captain, sometimes, the fate of humans and birds is actually the same. Although it is safe in the cage, it still yearns for freedom. Perhaps letting it fly out is the best thing for it," said Li Yunlong, with some emotion in his tone.

Zhang Lingyun listened quietly, and a wave of emotion rose in his heart. He watched the bird flap its wings gently, as if conveying an unspeakable message to him. Finally, he slowly stood up, walked to the window, grasped the cage door lock, turned it gently, and the cage door opened.

"Go, little one." Zhang Lingyun whispered, with reluctance and relief in his voice, "Although the world outside is dangerous, it is your world. Go and find your freedom."

The bird seemed to sense something. It shook its wings and flew out of the cage lightly. It circled around Zhang Lingyun's head for a few times, then rushed out of the window and flew into the boundless night sky.

Li Yunlong felt relieved when he saw this scene. He smiled and said, "Captain, you don't feel any regrets now, do you? It's a happy ending now that it's flown away."

Zhang Lingyun looked at the bird disappearing into the night sky, a faint smile on his face, "Yes, it's perfect. Just like us, although there is a battlefield ahead, that is also the fate we must face."

At this time, Zhao Gang hurriedly walked into the command post with a somewhat anxious look on his face, "Commander, there is news from the front line just now. The enemy is fighting very fiercely on the northern front. We are a little short of manpower and need reinforcements."

Zhang Lingyun frowned slightly, quickly adjusted his mood, and turned to Zhao Gang, "What is the situation on the northern front? How strong are the enemy troops?"

Zhao Gang handed over a telegram, Zhang Lingyun took it and quickly read it through, his eyes showing a hint of coldness. "The enemy is obviously concentrating its forces on the northern line, trying to tear open our defense line. Their intention is obvious, which is to defeat us at this critical point, and then break into our core area from the northern line."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately stood up, his tone full of fighting determination, "Commander, since the enemy wants to launch an attack on the northern front, then we will go to fight them and we can't let them succeed!"

Zhang Lingyun nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, "Yes, we must take the initiative and cannot wait for them to fully assemble. Political Commissar Zhao, mobilize the troops immediately and prepare to reinforce the northern line."

Zhao Gang quickly accepted the order and turned to convey it. Zhang Lingyun continued to stare at the sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. The bird that flew out seemed to have become his spiritual symbol. It represented freedom and also represented the fate of their group of soldiers in the war.

"Li Yunlong, this time we must not only stop the enemy, but also completely defeat them." Zhang Lingyun said in a deep voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "We must give the enemy a heavy blow on the northern line. Only in this way can we let them know that this land is not something they can easily get their hands on."

Li Yunlong clenched his weapon tightly, his eyes firm, "Captain, you are right. As long as we are still here, the enemy will never cross our defense line."

Soon after, the troops had assembled, and Zhang Lingyun personally led the reinforcement team and rushed to the north line. Along the way, he was thinking about various tactics, how to use the terrain advantages, and how to strike the enemy's vitality to the greatest extent.

When they arrived at the northern front, the battle had already entered a white-hot stage. Artillery fire roared, gunshots rang out, soldiers stubbornly resisted in the trenches, and the enemy's offensive wave after wave seemed endless.

Zhang Lingyun quickly arranged the defense line and dispersed the reinforcements to various weak points to ensure that each position had sufficient firepower support. At the same time, he also personally went into battle and fought side by side with the soldiers. He knew that at such a moment, only by leading the way could he inspire morale and stabilize the position.

"Zhao Gang, take the sniper team and aim at the enemy commander. Make sure to disrupt their command system!" Zhang Lingyun gave orders through the walkie-talkie, his voice full of oppression.

Zhao Gang quickly responded, "Understood, Captain, I'll make arrangements right away and ensure the mission is completed!"

At the same time, Li Yunlong also led the commandos to launch a fierce attack from the flank, trying to cut off the enemy's reinforcement channel. Under the cover of night, they quietly approached the enemy's rear position, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.

The intensity of the battle continued to escalate, and Zhang Lingyun calmly commanded each wave of defense and accurately dispatched each team. Although the enemy's offensive was fierce, under Zhang Lingyun's strict deployment, their attacks were repeatedly frustrated and even began to show signs of fatigue.

"Commander, the enemy's attack seems to have weakened!" a soldier reported excitedly, with a long-lost smile on his face.

Zhang Lingyun nodded, his eyes still full of calmness, "Don't let your guard down, the enemy may be planning a bigger offensive. We must keep our defense line stable and be ready to counterattack at any time."

Li Yunlong's commando also received good news at this time. They successfully cut off the enemy's supply line and blew up an important enemy command post. This news boosted the morale of the soldiers on the entire defense line, their fighting power exploded again, and the enemy's attack began to show obvious chaos.

Zhang Lingyun seized the opportunity and decisively issued an order for a general attack, "All troops, counterattack! Drive the enemy out of our defense line completely!"

The soldiers rushed out of the defense line like tigers descending from the mountains, launching a fierce counterattack against the enemy who had begun to collapse. Zhang Lingyun rushed to the front, shooting accurately at every enemy figure with his gun. Every step he took was full of strength, and every time he pulled the trigger, he was full of the belief that he would win.

"Charge for our homeland!" Zhang Lingyun shouted loudly, his voice echoed on the battlefield, inspiring every soldier.

The battle lasted for several hours. Finally, with the joint efforts of Zhang Lingyun and all the soldiers, the enemy's offensive was completely defeated. The remaining enemies fled in all directions, and the northern defense line was stabilized again.

When the last gunshot stopped, Zhang Lingyun stood in the middle of the battlefield, looking around.

Zhang Ling's hometown caught fire and his parents were in danger.

Late at night, the camp was quiet, and the soldiers were taking the time to rest and conserve their energy for the upcoming battle. In the command post, Zhang Lingyun was studying the map carefully, thinking about the next tactical arrangement. The battle situation was changing rapidly, and every step had to be taken with great caution. His nerves had been tense for too long.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then Li Yunlong pushed the door open, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness, "Captain, there is an emergency!"

Zhang Lingyun looked up and saw that Li Yunlong looked unusual. His heart sank. He immediately put down the map in his hand and asked seriously, "What's wrong, Yunlong? What happened?"

Li Yunlong panted, his face pale. "Captain, I just received an urgent message... Your hometown suddenly caught fire! The fire is huge, and the specific situation is not clear yet, but there is news that your parents may be trapped inside!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Zhang Lingyun's mind went blank in an instant. His hands trembled slightly, and his heart beat faster, as if he couldn't accept this sudden bad news for a while.

"What? My hometown... is on fire?" Zhang Lingyun muttered to himself, his eyes full of shock and disbelief. He forced himself to calm down, but the anxiety in his heart spread rapidly.

"Captain, we have to do something right away!" Li Yunlong said anxiously, with deep worry in his eyes, "No matter what, we have to send someone to rescue them!"

Zhang Lingyun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he had to stay rational at this moment. Although he was extremely anxious, as a commander, he could not be swayed by emotions.

"Li Yunlong, immediately send a team of elite soldiers back to rescue them. Make sure my parents are safe." Zhang Lingyun's voice was low and firm. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms. "No matter what, they must be safely out of danger."

Li Yunlong saw that Zhang Lingyun had made up his mind and quickly accepted the order, "Captain, I will lead the team myself and set off immediately!"

Zhang Lingyun nodded and watched Li Yunlong leave in a hurry, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be calmed for a long time. His thoughts began to run fast, and the faces of his parents appeared in his mind. They were the people he cared about most. During the years of war, he worried about their safety countless times, but this time, the danger really fell on their heads.

He walked to the window and looked at the dark night in the distance, feeling powerless. Although he could command thousands of troops on the battlefield, at this moment, he could not go to protect his loved ones in person. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel extremely painful.

"God bless them, they must be safe." Zhang Lingyun prayed silently in his heart, the anxiety and worry in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Lingyun paced back and forth in the command post, waiting for news. Every second was torture for him, his mind was in a mess, constantly imagining various possible situations. He knew that as a commander, he had to stay calm, but the worries in his heart broke through the defense line of reason again and again.

"Captain, do you want to take a rest first? I'm worried that you won't be able to hold on like this." Zhao Gang walked into the command post and saw Zhang Lingyun's appearance, feeling heartbroken.
