Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Don't worry, these two shells are enough to send that old devil Sakata to see Amaterasu!" Zhang Ling raised his lips into a cruel smile, with the flame of revenge flashing in his eyes.

In his previous life, he was chased by the Sakata Unit and eventually died of exhaustion. In this life, he vowed to make the Sakata Unit pay with blood!

Zhang Ling adjusted the artillery parameters, took a deep breath, and ordered in a deep voice: "Reload!"

Xu Erniu immediately picked up a shell and loaded it into the barrel skillfully.

"emission!"

"boom!"

Following Zhang Ling's order, the shells, with a piercing scream, cut through the sky and headed straight for the target.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the shell, and they prayed silently in their hearts.

The shell landed accurately in the target area designated by Zhang Ling. A deafening explosion sounded and the earth shook violently, as if a sleeping giant beast was suddenly awakened.

When the smoke cleared, I saw that a large section of the hillside had collapsed, revealing a pitch-black hole, and a pungent smell of gas hit me in the face.

"It's done! Quick, prepare the second shell!" Zhang Ling was ecstatic when he saw this, but he still remained calm on his face.

At this moment, something strange happened...

"Believe it! How can I not believe it!"

"That's right, Captain, you have a lot of clever ideas, we all listen to you!"

When Xu Erniu and others heard that Zhang Ling was going to play tough, they immediately became excited.

After all, their independent battalion had been suppressed by the Sakata Regiment these days, and they had been holding a grudge for a long time.

Now that they have the opportunity to take revenge, they naturally support Zhang Ling's plan.

"Okay! Since you trust me, then quickly follow my plan!"

"Yes!"

Xu Erniu and others did not waste any time and immediately took a few soldiers to push the mortar to the designated position.

Zhang Ling held a telescope and carefully observed the position of the Sakata Regiment.

Zhang Ling already knew the terrain of Cangyun Ridge by heart.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to find the weakest point of the Sakata Corps' position.

Soon, Zhang Ling locked onto the target.

"That's it!"

Zhang Ling pointed to a hillside to the left of the Sakata Regiment's position and said in a deep voice.

"Erniu, do you see that hillside?"

"I see!"

"Aim and shoot! Fire two shells and make sure you create a hole for me!"

"Yes!"

Xu Erniu roared excitedly, and then directed the soldiers to adjust the angle and range of the mortar.

Soon, the mortar was adjusted.

"Battalion Commander, everything is ready, please give instructions!"

Xu Erniu shouted loudly at Zhang Ling.

"fire!"

"boom!"

Following Zhang Ling's order, a shell whistled as it bombarded the Sakata Regiment's position.

"boom!"

The shell accurately hit the target designated by Zhang Ling.

Amid the violent explosion, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose on the hillside.

Countless pieces of rubble and soil were blown high into the sky.

"Baga! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The Sakata Regiment's position was suddenly in chaos.

However, Zhang Ling ignored the reaction of the Sakata team.

"Erniu, keep firing!"

"boom!"

Another deafening explosion sounded.

The second shell hit the target accurately again.

This time, the hillside could no longer withstand the continuous bombing and collapsed directly.

A huge gap appeared in the Sakata Regiment's position.

"Hahaha! It's done!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

"boom!"

A deafening roar came from deep within the Sakata Regiment's position.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Cangyun Ridge began to shake violently.

"Oh no! It's a gas explosion!"

Zhang Ling's face changed and he suddenly realized something.

He never imagined that the coal mine beneath the Sakata Regiment's position contained such terrible gas.

The violent explosion lifted the entire Sakata Brigade’s position into the sky!

"what!"

Countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces in the explosion.

Even Zhang Ling and others were blown away by the shock wave generated by the explosion.

When Zhang Ling got up from the ground, he found himself buried in a pile of rocks.

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Ling coughed violently several times and felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

He struggled to climb out from the pile of rocks, looked around, and found that the entire Cangyun Ridge had turned into a hell on earth.

There were ruins everywhere and smoke filled the air.

Countless Japanese corpses lay on the ground in all directions.

Blood dyed the earth red.

"This...I did this?"

Zhang Ling looked at the doomsday-like scene in front of him and was shocked.

He originally just wanted to blow up the Sakata Regiment's position and avenge his brothers in the Independent Battalion.

But he never expected that his shot would cause such a horrible disaster.

The Sakata Corps was completely wiped out!

No one is spared!

Although Xu Erniu and his men had never been to school, they all knew that mortars were good things. One shot would kill the enemy at least. Now the entire battalion had only four shells left, but the battalion commander Zhang Ling said that two shells would solve the problem, which made them wonder if Zhang Ling's brain had been damaged by the bomb.

"Battalion commander, please don't make fun of us. If we don't use these four shells properly, we will really have to fight the Japs with bayonets!" The speaker was Li Dazhuang, the platoon leader of the third company. This guy was tall and strong, and he used a big knife to perfection. He was the famous "King of Chopping" of the 772nd Regiment.

Zhang Ling looked at the lovely soldiers in front of him. He knew their concerns, but he believed in his own judgment. "Brothers, how could I joke with my own life? Think about it, the Japanese now think that we are out of ammunition and food, so they must have relaxed their vigilance. If we give them a hard blow at this time, we will definitely catch them off guard!"

"But..." Xu Erniu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Ling's wave of his hand.

"There's nothing to worry about. Just follow the order!" Zhang Ling said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.

Seeing that Zhang Ling had made up his mind, Xu Erniu and others stopped talking and returned to their respective posts, preparing for the final battle.

Zhang Ling walked to the mortar and carefully adjusted the angle and range.

This mortar is made in Italy and is the treasure of the 772nd Regiment. It is usually very precious and is not easily used. If it were not for the emergency, the regiment commander would not have given this treasure to Zhang Ling.

"Battalion Commander, are you really sure?" Gunner Wang Tiezhu asked worriedly while loading shells.

Wang Tiezhu was a veteran of the 772nd Regiment. He had participated in the Long March and fought against the Japanese invaders, so he was very experienced. However, it was the first time he saw someone trying to eliminate an entire regiment of Japanese invaders with just two artillery shells.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Zhang Ling patted Wang Tiezhu's shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the first shell whizzed towards the peak of Cangyun Ridge and landed precisely at the location selected by Zhang Ling before.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the second shell followed closely, hitting the same position accurately.

The combined power of the two shells instantly blew up the hillside into flying dirt and dust.

"what happened?"

"Is there an earthquake?"

The Japanese soldiers of the Sakata Regiment were frightened by the sudden explosion. They poked their heads out of the trenches and looked around in confusion.

"Baka! Do the Chinese still have artillery shells?"

Sakata Corps Captain Nobutsu Sakata got up from the ground, not even bothering to wipe the dust off his face, and cursed at the sky.

Before he could finish cursing, an even more violent vibration came from under his feet, and the entire Cangyun Ridge seemed to shake.

"Oh no! It's a landslide!"

I don't know who shouted, but the Japanese soldiers of the Sakata Regiment suddenly became chaotic, throwing away their weapons and armor, and ran desperately down the mountain.

"Rumble..."

Amidst a huge roar, the mountain of Cangyun Ridge began to collapse. Countless rocks and earth mixed with trees swept towards the Sakata Corps at the foot of the mountain like a mountain torrent.

"what……"

"Help me..."

The screams and wails of the Japs echoed throughout the valley, but were soon drowned out by the deafening sound of landslides and earthquakes.

Zhang Ling stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the spectacular scene in front of him, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sakata, you old devil, this is what you get for invading China!"

……

"Captain, you are really a master planner! You killed the Sakata Regiment with just two shells. If this gets out, you will become famous!"

Xu Erniu and others were so excited that they were incoherent as they looked at the scene that was like hell on earth.

"Yes, battalion commander, how did you know there was a coal mine under the Japanese position?"

"Also, how do you know that two shells can cause a landslide?"

……

Faced with the soldiers' questions, Zhang Ling just smiled faintly and did not explain much.

"Okay, stop asking so many questions. Let's clean up the battlefield quickly and gather all the weapons and ammunition we can use. Let's prepare to retreat!"

"Retreat? Why should we retreat? We have killed all the Japanese and this is now our territory!" Li Dazhuang asked puzzledly.

Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously, pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhang Ling's finger, and saw a series of black fighter planes appearing in the sky in the distance, flying towards the direction of Cangyun Ridge...

Xu Erniu and the others looked at each other with some doubt in their eyes. During this period of time following Zhang Ling, they also saw the ability of this battalion commander. He had many tricks and was really good at fighting. But to say that two shells could eliminate the Sakata regiment, isn't this a bit of a boast?

"What? You don't believe it?" Zhang Ling looked at them with a playful smile on his lips.

"Captain, it's not that we don't believe it, it's just that this..." Xu Erniu scratched his head, "Isn't this a bit too mysterious?"

Zhang Ling walked to the side of the mortar, patted the barrel, and said firmly: "When have I ever lied to you? This is a matter of great importance to whether our 772nd Regiment can turn things around. Even if I risk my life, I will destroy the Sakata Regiment!"
