Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

A trace of calm thought flashed across Zhang Ling's eyes: "The reason why the enemy can accurately find the location of our telegraph machine shows that they have a very accurate source of intelligence. We can use this to create an illusion and lure their main force into our trap. At the same time, we can send an elite team to break through the weak point of the enemy's defense line and go directly to the headquarters."

When Li Yunlong heard this plan, he immediately became excited: "Good idea! Commander, are you planning to make a feint to the east and attack the west, making the enemy think we will break through from the front, but actually attack from the flank?"

Zhang Ling nodded, his tone full of determination: "That's right. We can create a fake telegram and pass on false information to the enemy, making them mistakenly believe that we are ready to abandon this stronghold and concentrate our forces to attack in another direction. In this way, they will inevitably disperse their forces, and our breakout team will have a greater chance of success."

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "This plan is indeed feasible, but we must find a reliable communicator to ensure that the message can be smoothly conveyed to the headquarters."

Zhang Ling turned his gaze to Li Yunlong: "Yunlong, the mission of this breakout is given to you. You are the most experienced commander here, and you must lead the team yourself."

Li Yunlong showed an excited smile on his face and nodded heavily: "Commander, don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, will definitely live up to your trust!"

Zhang Ling's expression remained serious. He knew the danger of this mission very well. "Yunlong, this mission is very serious. Once exposed, I'm afraid you will be wiped out. Therefore, you must select the most elite soldiers and bring enough equipment. But the action must be secret and you must not alert the enemy."

"Understood, Commander." Li Yunlong looked solemn. He knew Zhang Ling's concerns, but he was also confident that he could complete this task.

Zhang Ling continued, "Zhao Gang, you stay at the headquarters and help me pass on the false intelligence. We must make sure the enemy is fooled and there can't be any loopholes."

Zhao Gang nodded to show his understanding: "I will prepare everything to ensure that the plan goes smoothly."

Zhang Ling looked at the two of them, a hint of deep worry flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed this emotion: "Okay, the action will begin immediately. Yunlong, go select the personnel and get ready to go."

Li Yunlong immediately saluted, turned around and hurried away to arrange the personnel and equipment of the breakout team. Zhao Gang stayed at the headquarters and planned the details of the false intelligence with Zhang Ling.

Time passed by, the night became darker, and the air was filled with tension. Zhang Ling's heart was still restless, he knew that the success or failure of this operation would directly affect the entire battle situation. If Li Yunlong's team failed to break through, they would completely lose contact with the headquarters, which would be tantamount to fighting alone.

Zhao Gang saw Zhang Ling's anxiety and said softly, "Commander, don't worry too much. We all know Yunlong's ability. He will definitely complete the task."

Zhang Ling nodded and forced himself to calm down: "Yes, I believe Yunlong. However, the enemy this time is very cunning, and we must prepare for the worst."

Zhao Gang nodded silently and continued to fiddle with the manuscripts of the fake intelligence on the table. Zhang Ling walked aside, picked up the telescope, and looked into the distance through the window of the headquarters. In the night, the enemy's position was vaguely visible, and the twinkling lights of fire in the darkness looked particularly strange.

"The enemy must be closely monitoring our movements now." Zhang Ling whispered to himself, with a hint of deep thought in his tone.

Zhao Gang looked up at him, his eyes showing a trace of determination: "Commander, we will definitely succeed this time. As long as we can pass on accurate intelligence, the headquarters will definitely support us in time."

Zhang Ling put down the telescope and turned to look at Zhao Gang: "Yes, we must succeed. This operation is related to the victory or failure of the entire battle, and no details can go wrong."

Zhao Gang nodded and continued to focus on the work in his hands. Zhang Ling walked to the table, picked up a pen, wrote a few lines on a blank piece of paper, and handed it to Zhao Gang: "This is the false intelligence we want to pass on. Make sure the enemy will believe it after seeing it and act quickly."

Zhao Gang took the note, read it carefully, and then looked up at Zhang Ling: "Commander, this plan is very clever, the enemy is likely to fall into our trap."

Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with determination: "We can only take this gamble. After Yunlong sets out, you will immediately send out this false information to make the enemy think that we are preparing to retreat."

Zhao Gang nodded: "Understood, I will arrange it perfectly."

Soon after, Li Yunlong returned to the headquarters. He had already selected the members of the breakout team, all of whom were veterans who had experienced many battles. Li Yunlong had a look of determination on his face, and it was clear that he had made full preparations.

"Commander, everyone is ready, we can set off at any time." Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ling looked at Li Yunlong and the soldiers behind him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that these soldiers would take great risks to complete this mission, and if they were not careful, they might never come back.

"Yunlong, be careful. After completing the mission, contact the headquarters as soon as possible and tell them our situation." Zhang Ling walked up to Li Yunlong with a heavy tone in his voice.

Li Yunlong nodded vigorously: "Commander, don't worry, I will complete the task."

Zhang Ling took a deep breath and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go. I wish you a safe journey."

Li Yunlong saluted, then led his breakout team to quickly leave the headquarters and disappear into the night. Zhang Ling stood there, watching their backs gradually disappear into the distance, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Commander, look..." Zhao Gang reminded in a low voice, indicating that time was running out.

Zhang Ling came back to his senses.

Zhang Ling's cigarette was damp. He felt very guilty and sorry for his subordinates.

Zhang Ling stood in the corner of the headquarters and picked up a cigarette, but found that the tobacco was damp and could not be lit. He twisted the damp tobacco with his fingers, and his expression gradually became solemn. The pressure of the war had left him no time to take care of these details, but at this moment, his brothers were still fighting outside, and he could not even handle a small matter, which made him feel deeply guilty.

"What's going on? I can't even light a cigarette?" Zhang Ling muttered to himself, frowning.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Li Yunlong walked in with a dusty face. When he saw Zhang Ling, he immediately noticed that he was abnormal.

"Commander, what happened?" Li Yunlong asked sharply.

Zhang Ling did not answer directly, but handed the damp cigarette in his hand to Li Yunlong: "Look at this."

Li Yunlong took the cigarette and felt it for a while before he understood the reason. He frowned and said in confusion: "Why is this cigarette damp? Is it because the weather is too humid recently?"

Zhang Ling smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's all my fault. I've been so busy directing the battles lately that I didn't even take care of these little things. I brought this cigarette back from headquarters specifically so that everyone could take a few puffs to relieve stress when they were nervous. But now look, the cigarettes haven't been kept properly."

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Commander, you are making a fuss about nothing, aren't you? It's no big deal if the cigarette gets damp. We brothers have been smoking dry and grass tobacco for so many years, this little thing is nothing."

Zhang Ling shook his head, his expression still solemn: "No, Yunlong, this is not a trivial matter. You know, I have always regarded you as brothers, but now I can't even do this little thing, it's really..."

Seeing Zhang Ling blaming himself, Li Yunlong's smile faded a little. He knew that Zhang Ling was a thoughtful person. Although he usually appeared strong and courageous, he cared deeply for his subordinates. Now, he blamed himself for such a small matter, obviously because the long-term pressure had accumulated to a critical point.

"Commander, don't think like that." Li Yunlong put down his cigarette and said seriously, "On the battlefield, what everyone values ​​most is your command and your leadership. The brothers follow you not to smoke a few cigarettes, but to follow you to win this battle. It's no big deal if the cigarette gets damp, and no one will care about it."

Zhang Ling felt a little relieved, but still a little uneasy: "But I always feel sorry for everyone, especially in a battle like this, every detail is important."

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up: "Commander, how about this, we can dry these cigarettes and distribute them to everyone. Although they are not the best, at least we can still smoke them and satisfy our cravings."

Zhang Ling nodded and agreed: "You are right, this is a solution. Although it cannot fully restore the body, it can at least make everyone feel a little warm."

At this time, Zhao Gang also hurried in with a battle report in his hand. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhang Ling and Li Yunlong discussing the cigarette matter. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Commander, the brothers on the front line are waiting for your instructions. I have the latest battle report here."

Zhang Ling took the battle report, quickly glanced through it, and frowned slightly: "The enemy has begun to increase its troops again, and this time their firepower is more intensive. It seems that they have realized that we are preparing to launch an attack."

Zhao Gang nodded, with a bit of worry on his face: "Yes, Commander. The enemy's reinforcement speed is very fast. If we don't act now, I'm afraid we will be passive."

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, put down the battle report, turned around and looked at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "We can't delay any longer, we must launch an attack as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy's defense line will become stronger and stronger."

Li Yunlong immediately responded: "Commander, please give the order. I can lead the team to set off at any time!"

Zhang Ling's eyes flickered back and forth between the two men, his mind rapidly calculating various possible tactics.
