Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Li Yunlong's eyes were full of fighting spirit. "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely carry out your plan. We will let the enemy have a taste of what it means to be 'smart'."

Zhang Lingyun nodded in approval, then stood up, his tone revealing a hint of urgency and decisiveness, "Time is running out, act now! I will command the front-line dispatch, and you will arrange for the troops to adjust their positions. Make sure the enemy does not detect our intentions."

Li Yunlong quickly received the order, turned around and left the command post, and began to deploy according to the plan. Zhang Lingyun stayed in the command post, directing the adjustment of various positions through the intercom. He knew that the success or failure of this operation depended on whether they could successfully confuse the enemy and launch a fatal attack when the enemy was most tired and confused.

Soon after, the position adjustment was successfully completed. Zhang Lingyun's plan was to disperse the troops into multiple hidden positions, with different troops taking turns to appear in the enemy's sight, creating an illusion that their main force had been pinned down in multiple lines of defense.

As the night deepened, the enemy's attack began to gradually intensify. They obviously believed that their tactics were working and continued to put pressure on Zhang Lingyun's defense line. However, every time they thought they had found a breakthrough, Zhang Lingyun's troops suddenly disappeared from the battlefield and moved to another position, confusing and angering the enemy.

"Captain, the enemy seems to have started to lose their footing." Zhao Gang reported to Zhang Lingyun through the intercom, with a hint of joy in his voice, "Their front-line troops have begun to become confused and unable to organize an effective attack."

Zhang Lingyun sneered when he heard the news, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. "Very good, this is the opportunity we have been waiting for. Tell all the troops to prepare for a counterattack. Once the enemy's offensive power weakens, immediately launch a full-scale counterattack."

Zhao Gang immediately conveyed the order, and the soldiers in their respective hidden positions nervously and excitedly waited for the signal to counterattack. Zhang Lingyun knew that the enemy had entered their encirclement, and now they just had to wait patiently for the enemy to completely expose their weaknesses.

As time passed, Zhang Lingyun closely followed the enemy's movements through the observation equipment in the command post. He was filled with nervous anticipation and a hint of irrepressible excitement. Seeing the enemy's offensive gradually weakening, Zhang Lingyun knew that the time for a counterattack was ripe.

"All troops, launch a counterattack immediately!" Zhang Lingyun issued the final order through the walkie-talkie, his voice filled with long-suppressed power.

As the order was issued, the soldiers hidden in various positions pounced on the enemy like tigers. Zhang Lingyun's troops launched a counterattack from all directions at lightning speed, catching the enemy off guard and throwing them into disarray.

"Yunlong, lead the assault team to encircle the enemy from the left wing and cut off the enemy's retreat!" Zhang Lingyun quickly issued further tactical instructions, with a calm and cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Li Yunlong immediately led his commando team to bypass the enemy's frontal defense line, quickly outflanked from the flank, and accurately cut off the enemy's retreat route. The enemy was caught in the middle and fell into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides.

"Commander, the enemy has been surrounded by us and is trying to break out!" Li Yunlong reported through the intercom, his voice full of excitement. "They are now in chaos, and we are shrinking the encirclement."

Zhang Lingyun held the intercom tightly, his tone was cold, "Don't give them any chances, make sure to catch them all in one fell swoop."

The intensity of the battle continued to escalate, but Zhang Lingyun's troops advanced in an orderly manner under his command. The enemy was gradually compressed into a small area, and their original offensive had long been disrupted. Now they could only passively defend and wait for their final fate.

As the encirclement narrowed, the enemy's resistance became weaker and weaker, and was finally completely annihilated by Zhang Lingyun's troops. The gunfire on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the air was filled with gunpowder and the smell of victory.

"Captain, we won!" Li Yunlong's voice came through the intercom, full of excitement and joy.

Zhang Lingyun stood in the command post, looking at the battle line marked on the map, feeling extremely satisfied. He took a deep breath, put down the walkie-talkie, and a gratified smile appeared in his eyes.

"This is just the beginning." Zhang Lingyun said silently in his heart, looking into the distance with a firm gaze, "We will continue to fight until the final victory."

After the battle, Zhang Lingyun walked out of the command post to welcome the victorious soldiers. Every soldier's face was filled with the joy of victory, but they also knew that this was just a battle in the entire war, and there were more challenges waiting for them ahead.

"Captain, you fought brilliantly today!" Zhao Gang stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "The enemy has suffered a big setback this time."

Zhang Lingyun smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "Political Commissar Zhao, there is no permanent winner on the battlefield. We cannot let our guard down. This victory is certainly gratifying, but we must remain vigilant. The enemy will not give up easily and they will come back again."

Zhao Gang nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his tone became serious, "Captain, you are right.

Zhang Ling stood in front of the window of the headquarters, frowning, looking out of the window into the distance. In front of him were endless mountains, and below the mountains was a bleak battlefield. The smoke had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was filled with a bloody smell. As an excellent commander of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Ling was accustomed to the cruelty of the battlefield, but today, his mood was particularly heavy.

"Commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are back." The adjutant quickly walked into the command center and reported to Zhang Ling.

"Let them in." Zhang Ling turned around and said in a deep voice.

Soon, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came in. Li Yunlong was still as unruly as ever, with a revolver on his waist and eyes as sharp as a knife; Zhao Gang was a gentle man, holding a folded notebook in his hand.

"Commander Zhang Ling, do you have any instructions?" Zhao Gang bowed slightly with a humble expression.

"Instructions? I have a lot of instructions," Zhang Ling sneered, his eyes sweeping over the two of them sharply, "but some people don't follow them!"

Li Yunlong's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Commander Zhang Ling, who are you talking about?"

"Li Yunlong, it's you!" Zhang Ling suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of suppressed anger, "I asked you to lead the troops to ambush the enemy's supply line, but what about you? You actually acted on your own and led the troops to attack the enemy's stronghold directly! Do you know that as a result, we were forced to change our entire battle plan and suffered heavy losses!"

Li Yunlong's face gradually turned livid. He clenched his fists, met Zhang Ling's fury with his eyes, and said sternly, "Commander Zhang Ling, I am doing this for the overall situation! The enemy's stronghold is too threatening. I judge that if we don't get rid of it first, we will suffer sooner or later!"

"Consider the overall situation?" Zhang Ling's voice lowered, and his tone was as cold as ice. "Li Yunlong, do you think you are the commander? You are the one who considers the overall situation? Do you know that if everyone is like you, then what can my headquarters command?!"

Li Yunlong was speechless for a moment. Although he was dissatisfied, he also understood that Zhang Ling's words were not unreasonable. Seeing this, Zhao Gang hurriedly stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Commander Zhang Ling, Yunlong did act on his own, and he should reflect on this. But from the results, his actions also weakened the enemy's strength and helped our subsequent operations..."

"Zhao Gang, you don't have to explain for him!" Zhang Ling interrupted Zhao Gang sharply, "I know you are old partners, but in front of military orders, no one can be an exception! Today I want everyone to understand what discipline is!"

Zhang Ling's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the two men. Li Yunlong clenched his fists even tighter, his chest rising and falling violently, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart. Zhao Gang also lowered his head silently, as if thinking about something.

Zhang Ling saw the reactions of the two men, sighed, and said in a slightly slower tone: "It's not that I don't understand your difficulties. The battlefield changes rapidly, and sometimes it is necessary to make decisions on the spot. But there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed. Li Yunlong, I will not hold you responsible for this matter, but you must remember that if it happens again, you will be punished by military law!"

"Understood, Commander Zhang Ling." Li Yunlong responded in a deep voice, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone, but also with deep obedience.

"Okay, go and get ready, the next battle is about to begin." Zhang Ling waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang left the headquarters, and Zhang Ling sat back at the table and rubbed his temples. The reprimand had consumed a lot of his energy. He knew that Li Yunlong was a rare talent, but also a "troublemaker" who was not bound by rules. Zhang Ling could not deny that Li Yunlong's courage and boldness had indeed saved many people and won many battles, but he had to find a balance between discipline and personal heroism.

"Commander, Heshang and Zhang Dabiao are also waiting to see you outside." The adjutant came in again to report.

Zhang Ling nodded and motioned for them to come in.

The atmosphere became more relaxed when the monk and Zhang Dabiao came in. The monk still looked simple and honest, and although he was covered in dust, he was in high spirits; Zhang Dabiao seemed much more stable, and after entering the door, he saluted Zhang Ling in a proper manner.

"Commander Zhang Ling, are you looking for us?" the monk asked with a smile.

Zhang Ling looked at the two men and felt a little more relaxed. Although the monk seemed rude, he was actually a very careful person, and Zhang Dabiao was a typical executive officer who obeyed orders and never delayed.

"Monk, Zhang Dabiao, how did you complete your mission?" Zhang Ling asked directly.

Zhang Dabiao stepped forward and reported calmly: "Commander, we followed your order and successfully blew up the enemy's ammunition depot. The whole process was clean and neat, leaving no traces."
