Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Li Yunlong lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I know I was wrong. I just... I just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible so that everyone can see the hope of victory sooner. I didn't expect it would cause such a big problem."

Zhang Ling's anger subsided a little after hearing this, but he still said coldly: "Yunlong, as a commander, your duty is not only to fight, but also to ensure the execution of every plan. Your impulsiveness caused the entire plan to get out of control. Although you wanted to make a contribution, doing so made us pay an unnecessary price."

Li Yunlong's face was full of guilt. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Commander, I am willing to accept any punishment. This mistake is entirely my responsibility."

Zhang Ling looked at Li Yunlong. Although he was still angry, he had more expectations for this subordinate. He knew that Li Yunlong was a brave fighter, but he also understood that Li Yunlong needed to learn more calmness and restraint.

"Yunlong, this lesson is profound enough." Zhang Ling's tone softened slightly, but still serious, "I won't punish you easily, because you have already paid the price for this mistake. But I hope you remember that you can't just rely on passion on the battlefield, you must have a cool head and a rigorous plan. Every decision is related to the lives of brothers, and there can be no negligence."

Li Yunlong nodded heavily, his eyes showing determination: "Commander, you are right. I was reckless this time. I will be more cautious in the future and will never make such a mistake again."

Zhang Ling nodded slightly, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes: "Okay, Yunlong, remember this lesson. We still have to continue fighting, and there are more challenges waiting for us. You are my right-hand man, and I hope you can perform better in every battle."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with emotion. He knew that although Zhang Ling scolded him, it was more of an expectation for him. He straightened his back and said solemnly: "Commander, I will definitely live up to your expectations.

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 night was dark and the camp was silent. After a day of training and work, the soldiers were falling asleep one after another. In the headquarters, Zhang Ling sat alone at the table, looking at the darkness outside the window, thinking about the food problem of the troops. Recently, there have been difficulties in the supply of materials on the front line, especially meat, which has been out of stock for several days. Although the soldiers did not complain, Zhang Ling knew that the lack of adequate nutrition for a long time would affect the soldiers' health and morale.

He sighed softly and laughed at himself: "It's really strange, when did even eating meat become a luxury?"

At this moment, Li Yunlong pushed the door open and walked in, his face looking a little tired. But when he saw Zhang Ling was still there, he walked straight up to him and said, "Commander, why haven't you rested yet so late? Are you preparing for tomorrow's event?"

Zhang Ling raised his head, looked at Li Yunlong, and said with a smile: "Yunlong, to be honest, what I am thinking about now is not tomorrow's battle, but how to let our brothers have a good meal."

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Commander, you are really considerate. Our food has been a bit monotonous recently. The brothers didn't say anything, but I can see that everyone misses the taste of meat."

Zhang Ling nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "There's nothing we can do about it. The supply in the rear is tight, so we can only save as much as possible. But we're fighting, we can't always eat these unnutritious things. It would be great if we could get some meat back to improve things for everyone."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes turned and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Commander, if you want to eat meat, it's not difficult. There are dense forests near us, and there is a lot of game. Send a few brothers to the mountains to hunt, and we can get some meat, right?"

Zhang Ling smiled slightly, knowing that although Li Yunlong's idea was a bit wild, it was indeed feasible: "You have a point, but this is not a trivial matter. We are at the front line now, and we can't just send people away from the base to go hunting."

Li Yunlong scratched his head and said unwillingly: "Commander, how about this, let's have a competition, whoever kills the prey will get a reward. Soldiers like challenges anyway, and this can also train their ability to survive in the wild."

Zhang Ling was moved when he heard this proposal, and thought it was a good idea. He knew that Li Yunlong's idea was a bit risky, but it did meet their current needs. Most of the soldiers in the army came from rural areas and were familiar with hunting. It could not only enrich the food, but also improve the morale and field combat capabilities of the soldiers, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhang Ling thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, Yunlong, I'll do as you say this time. Let's announce this mission tomorrow. Whoever can catch the prey will be awarded the first-class military merit by me personally."

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely bring my brothers to kill a wild boar this time and let you and everyone else have a good feast!"

Seeing Li Yunlong like this, Zhang Ling couldn't help laughing out loud: "Yunlong, boy, don't be so confident. Hunting is not a joke. If you fail to catch anything, don't blame me for not awarding you military merit."

Li Yunlong waved his hand nonchalantly: "Commander, just wait and see. I, Li Yunlong, have been able to hunt since I was a child. I will definitely not let you down this time."

Zhang Ling nodded, and then his tone became serious: "But remember, you must pay attention to safety during this operation. You can't delay your work because of hunting. Especially when the enemy may attack at any time, you must ensure the safety of every soldier."

Li Yunlong put away his smile and nodded solemnly: "Commander, don't worry, I will strictly control the time and number of people to ensure everyone's safety. We will not affect our combat preparations because of hunting."

Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder: "Okay, you will set off with a few capable teams tomorrow morning. Remember, come back early and don't delay the training."

Li Yunlong smiled from ear to ear and saluted: "Understood, Commander, just wait for the meat!"

The next morning, Zhang Ling announced this special mission at the morning meeting of all soldiers. As soon as the news came out, the whole camp became lively, and the soldiers were eager to sign up for the hunting team.

"Commander, what do you think of me? I'm a good hunter!" a skinny little soldier said happily, his face full of anticipation.

"Commander, my family used to hunt in the mountains. I guarantee we can get you some game!" another soldier said excitedly.

Zhang Ling felt a little relieved when he saw everyone's enthusiasm. He knew that although this was an easy task, for these soldiers who had been on the front line for a long time, being able to temporarily stay away from the pressure of the battlefield and participate in such a challenging and fun activity was indeed a kind of relaxation and motivation.

"Okay, don't worry. Hunting is fun, but it also requires strategy and safety." Zhang Ling said with a smile, his tone encouraging, "I will let Li Yunlong lead the team. You all listen to his command. I will personally award the first-class military merit to the soldier who kills the prey."

The soldiers cheered, and they were all eager to go up the mountain. Li Yunlong led a few selected elite soldiers, ready to go, saluted Zhang Ling and said, "Commander, we are ready, let's go!"

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. Remember, safety first."

Li Yunlong led the team out of the camp and headed towards the nearby forest. Zhang Ling stood at the entrance of the camp, watching their backs as they left, silently praying that the operation would be completed successfully. Although it was just hunting, he understood that in the current war situation, any action might face unpredictable risks.

A few hours later, Zhang Ling was still waiting for news in the headquarters. He looked at the clock on the wall from time to time, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although Li Yunlong had promised that nothing would happen, Zhang Ling still couldn't completely put his mind at ease.

"Commander, Li Yunlong and the others are back!" Zhao Gang's voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Ling stood up immediately after hearing this and walked out of the command center quickly. From a distance, he saw Li Yunlong and his team members pushing a simple wooden cart full of prey, the most conspicuous of which was a huge wild boar.

"Commander, we are back!" Li Yunlong shouted while pushing the cart, with a smug smile on his face.

Zhang Ling walked forward and couldn't help laughing when he saw the huge wild boar: "Yunlong, you really impressed me this time. You actually got me such a big wild boar."

Li Yunlong smiled from ear to ear: "Commander, look, this is no ordinary wild boar, it weighs more than 200 kilograms, enough for our brothers to have a good meal!"

Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the soldiers who had gathered around him and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's have a good meal tonight and divide the wild boar so that everyone gets a share!"

The soldiers cheered immediately, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Zhang Ling looked at their smiling faces and felt extremely satisfied. Although the battle ahead was still difficult, these small victories and moments of joy were enough to keep their morale high in the face of adversity.

As night fell, several bonfires were lit in the camp, and the kitchen staff was busy roasting wild boars, with aroma everywhere. The soldiers sat around the bonfire, with long-lost smiles on their faces, enjoying this rare delicacy to their heart's content.

Zhang Ling sat by the campfire, holding a piece of roasted wild boar meat, his heart full of emotion. He knew that such moments were rare on the battlefield, but because of this, this dinner was particularly precious.

"Commander, please try it. This is the wild boar meat we hunted ourselves. It tastes absolutely better than the wild boar meat we hunted ourselves.
