Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Before Zhang Ling finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao at the side couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "Hey, when the devils come in, we will use machine guns to shoot and explosive packs to make sure they don't come back!"

"You are a big, rough guy, you know nothing!" Li Yunlong slapped Zhang Dabiao on the back of his head, "Can't you use your brain? We are short of ammunition now, do you think the explosives are cabbages and you can just throw them away casually?"

Zhang Dabiao got slapped in the face, but he didn't get angry. He just chuckled.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Ling, his eyes full of expectation, "Boy, keep talking, ignore this rude man."

Zhang Ling smiled and continued, "Captain, my idea is that we can dig a few rows of traps. They don't need to be too deep, as long as they can trip the enemy's legs. When the enemy falls into the trap, we can concentrate our firepower to attack, so that we can kill the enemy to the maximum extent and save ammunition."

After listening to this, Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and asked, "This is a good idea, but how do we dig this trap to ensure that the Japanese will fall into it as soon as they step on it, and to ensure that our people will not step on it by mistake?"

"This is easy!" Zhang Ling took out a few sketches from his pocket and handed them to Li Yunlong. "I designed a simple trigger device. As long as the devil steps on it, it will trigger the mechanism and the trap will open."

Li Yunlong took the sketch and looked at it carefully. Although he was a rough man, he had fought in wars for many years and had a good eye for military matters. He saw at a glance that the trap designed by Zhang Ling was simple and practical, and had great lethality. If used properly, it would definitely make the Japanese devils suffer.

"Good boy, you are amazing!" Li Yunlong patted Zhang Ling's shoulder excitedly, "Let's do as you say. I'll have my brothers dig a trap right now!"

"Captain, I have another suggestion." Zhang Ling said, "We can bury some mines around the trap. In this way, even if the Japanese don't fall into the trap, they will be blown up by the mines!"

"What a good idea!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "You are such a genius! Why didn't I think of it?"

After that, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said with great pride: "Brothers, dig traps and bury mines for me. I will make sure that the Japanese will never come back!"

"Yes!" The soldiers of the independent regiment responded in unison, rubbing their hands, eager to try.

A few days later, a Japanese squad entered the trap area designed by Zhang Ling.

With a loud "bang", the few Japanese soldiers walking in the front were blown away in an instant, their limbs and arms splattered everywhere, and the blood dyed the ground red.

"Damn! There's an ambush!" The remaining Japanese soldiers suddenly became chaotic and hurriedly looked for cover.

"Da da da..." The soldiers of the independent regiment were in a dominant position and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers below.

The Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

"Kill!" Zhang Dabiao, holding a light machine gun, rushed into the group of Japanese devils like a tiger descending from the mountain, firing wildly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Zhao Gang aimed calmly, and each shot accurately hit the head of a Japanese soldier.

Li Yunlong was like a madman, waving a big knife and chopping at the Japanese whenever he saw them. Blood splattered all over him, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he fought more and more bravely.

The battle was extremely fierce. Although the soldiers of the independent regiment had backward weapons and equipment, they were in high spirits and fought bravely, and they managed to suppress the Japanese.

However, at this moment, an accident happened!

"Commander, the Japanese reinforcements are coming!" A soldier ran over in a panic to report.

Li Yunlong's face changed when he heard that. He raised his telescope and saw dust flying in the distance. A large group of Japanese soldiers were rushing towards this side, with at least a squadron of people.

"Damn, the Japs have such a sharp nose!" Li Yunlong cursed inwardly. He knew that in this battle, the independent regiment would probably be in great danger.

"Captain, what should we do?" Zhang Dabiao asked anxiously.

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Pass my order, everyone break out!"

"Break through?" Zhang Dabiao was stunned. "But, our ammunition..."

"I know!" Li Yunlong roared, "Am I the kind of person who would let my brothers die in vain?"

"But, Commander, you..." Zhang Dabiao wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Follow orders!" Li Yunlong said without question, "I will cover your retreat!"

"No! Captain, if we want to go, let's go together!" Zhang Dabiao said with red eyes.

"Yes, Commander, we can't abandon you!" other soldiers also said.

"Shut up!" Li Yunlong roared, "I am the regiment commander, I order you to retreat! This is an order!"

"But......"

"No buts!" Li Yunlong interrupted Zhang Dabiao, pointed at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer in the distance, and said loudly, "Look, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"Captain..." Zhang Dabiao wanted to say something else but was pushed away by Li Yunlong.

"Go!" Li Yunlong yelled, then turned around, picked up a machine gun, and started firing wildly at the Japanese soldiers rushing towards him.

"Da da da..." Amid the roar of machine guns, Li Yunlong's figure stood on the battlefield like an invincible monument.

"Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers looked at Li Yunlong with tears in their eyes. Finally, under Zhao Gang's order, they withdrew from the battlefield with tears in their eyes.

Li Yunlong, alone with a machine gun, blocked the enemy soldiers who were several times his number. When he ran out of bullets, he used grenades to attack. When he ran out of grenades, he used his pistol to attack. In the end, he only had a bayonet left in his hand...

"Come on! Japs! I'm going to fight you!"

Li Yunlong roared, and then, resolutely, rushed towards the Japanese soldiers who were charging at him...

When Li Yunlong heard the word "trap", his eyes lit up immediately. He grabbed Zhang Ling's shoulders and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what kind of trap? The kind that can trap all the Japanese!"

Zhang Ling calmly removed Li Yunlong's hand. Old Li was so excited that he would use his hands to crush this "weak scholar". He cleared his throat, pointed to the simple map on the ground and said, "Captain, you see, we are now stationed in this valley. There are cliffs on both sides of the valley. There is only one way in and out. If the Japanese want to come in, they can only take this road..."

"What nonsense you are talking about! I have been here for almost a month, how could I not know the terrain?" Li Yunlong interrupted impatiently. He hated people who only spoke halfway the most.

Zhang Ling was not annoyed. He knew that Li Yunlong was anxious, so he continued, "Don't be anxious, Captain. Listen to me. Although this road is the only entrance and exit, it is precisely because of this that we can make a difference on this road..."

As Zhang Ling spoke, he drew a few lines on the map with a branch. "We can set up roadblocks, booby traps, and ambush positions at these points. Once the Japanese come in, we can catch them in a trap!"

After listening to this, Li Yunlong frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Your words are easy, but we are short of troops and ammunition. How can we set up so many traps? Are you just talking nonsense?"

Zhang Ling had expected Li Yunlong to ask this question. He smiled confidently and said, "Captain, have you forgotten my past profession? I majored in chemistry. Making explosives and mines is a piece of cake for me, isn't it?"

Li Yunlong was immediately excited when he heard this. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "That's right! How could I forget about you! You are the treasure of our independent regiment! Okay, let's do it! I'll go get the materials for you right now!"

After saying that, Li Yunlong turned around and left in a hurry. Seeing this, Zhao Gang on the side shook his head helplessly. Old Li was still so impatient. However, he also knew that Li Yunlong was too concerned. After all, the situation of the independent regiment was not very good during this period. They had been chased and beaten by the Japanese for more than half a month and suffered heavy losses. They urgently needed a victory to boost morale.

"Comrade Zhang Ling, you have made great contributions this time. However, you must also pay attention to safety. If you need anything, just tell the organization. We will fully cooperate with you." Zhao Gang patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Political Commissar, don't worry, I understand." Zhang Ling nodded. He knew that Zhao Gang was concerned about him. After all, he had not been in the independent regiment for long. Although he quickly won the trust of Li Yunlong and others with his "advanced" knowledge and skills, he knew in his heart that he was ultimately an "outsider". If he wanted to truly integrate into this collective, it would take time and effort.

In the next few days, Zhang Ling devoted himself to the work of making traps. He led several soldiers and used the captured Japanese ammunition and some simple chemical raw materials to make a large number of homemade explosives, mines and booby traps. He also set up a tight net at various important roads in the valley, waiting for the Japanese to fall into the trap.

Looking at these crude but lethal "weapons" in front of him, Zhang Ling sneered, "Little devils, don't you like invasion? Don't you like burning, killing and looting? Then let me show you what the power of "people's war" is!"

......

Three days later, a Japanese squad entered the valley. The squad consisted of about fifty people, led by a second lieutenant. They were ordered to pursue an Eighth Route Army unit, but they didn't expect that they had stepped into a death trap.

"Report to the commander, traces of the Eighth Route Army have been found ahead!" A Japanese soldier ran up to the second lieutenant, saluted, and reported.

"Yo, these China pigs finally show up! Pass my order, speed up and catch up. I want to let them know how powerful the Imperial Japanese Army is!" The second lieutenant showed a ferocious smile on his face. He drew out his command knife, pointed it forward, and shouted loudly.
