Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Hi!"

The Japanese soldiers responded in unison, speeding up their march and heading deeper into the valley, completely unaware of what kind of hell on earth was waiting for them...

After a landslide, the sky full of dust obscured the view, and the entire valley seemed to be shrouded in a layer of yellow mist.

"Battalion commander, what...what on earth are you doing?" Li Dazhuang rubbed his ears which were numb from the shock and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhang Ling ignored him and just stared at the dust-covered hillside, as if trying to see something through the fog.

"Cough cough... cough cough..." Xu Erniu walked to Zhang Ling while coughing, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "Battalion Commander, you know what, the power of this mortar is really good. I guess the Japanese will be buried alive after these two shots, right?"

"Buried alive? You think too simply!" Zhang Ling retracted his gaze, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You want to wipe out the Sakata regiment with just two shells? Are you still dreaming?"

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang looked at each other, not understanding what Zhang Ling was up to.

"Okay, stop standing there, quickly dismantle the mortar and let's retreat!" Zhang Ling did not explain, but urged the two to act quickly.

Although Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang were confused, they still followed the order obediently. They quickly dismantled the mortar, carried it on their shoulders, and quickly evacuated the position with Zhang Ling.

......

As time passed, the dust in the valley gradually dissipated, and a huge gully appeared on the hillside that was originally covered with loess. On both sides of the gully, the blasted rocks and soil were exposed, which was a shocking sight.

However, to Zhang Ling's surprise, apart from a few Japanese corpses killed by rocks in the ravine, there was no trace of the Sakata Regiment!

"Did I make a wrong judgment?" Zhang Ling frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"Battalion Commander, look!" At this moment, Li Dazhuang pointed to the distance and exclaimed.

Zhang Ling looked in the direction of Li Dazhuang's finger, and saw a team marching towards this side in a mighty manner on the hillside not far away. At the front of the team, under a bright red sun flag, a short Japanese officer was riding on a tall horse, looking at this side with a gloomy face.

"Sakata Nobutsu!" Zhang Ling recognized the Japanese officer at a glance. It was the commander of the Sakata Regiment, Sakata Nobutsu!

"Baga! You damn Eighth Route Army, you actually dared to launch a sneak attack on our Sakata Regiment. I will make you pay with blood!" Sakata Nobutsu shouted with gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and murderous intent.

"Battalion Commander, what...what should we do? It seems that the Sakata Regiment didn't lose many people!" Li Dazhuang looked at the aggressive Sakata Regiment and his face turned pale.

"What are you afraid of! Isn't it just a small Sakata Regiment? I was scared of even the Americans on the Korean battlefield. Why should I be afraid of a Japanese regiment?" A cold light flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes, and his tone was full of confidence.

"But...but there are only three of us now!" Xu Erniu said weakly.

"What's wrong with three people? Three people can still win! Today I will teach you what real special operations are!" Zhang Ling said, and took out three peculiarly shaped weapons from behind. They were the M4A1 carbines he exchanged from the system mall!

"What...what kind of gun is this? Why have we never seen it before?" Li Dazhuang and Xu Erniu looked at the M4A1 carbine in Zhang Ling's hand and asked curiously.

"This is a secret weapon, you will know it soon!" Zhang Ling did not explain too much. He just threw two of the M4A1 carbines to Li Dazhuang and Xu Erniu respectively, then picked up his own gun and aimed at Sakata Nobutsu.

"Remember, listen to my orders and hit him hard!" Zhang Ling said and pulled the trigger.

Da da da...

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the valley, and bullets, carrying the breath of death, whizzed towards the Sakata regiment...

Zhang Ling stared at the hillside in front of him, his heart beating violently in his chest.

With a loud "boom", the second shell hit the target accurately.

A large amount of loess poured down along with gravel and mud, and almost in an instant a large piece of the original hillside was "cut away", and smoke and dust rolled, covering the sky and the sun.

Seeing this scene, Li Dazhuang rubbed his hands excitedly and couldn't help asking, "Battalion Commander, is it done?"

"Stop talking nonsense! It's too early to tell success or failure!" Zhang Ling cursed angrily, but his voice, trembling slightly with excitement, betrayed his mood at the moment.

Before launching the attack, Zhang Ling carefully observed the terrain. He found that although the hillside chosen by the devils was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the soil was soft. If it was bombarded with mortars, it would likely cause a landslide. By then...

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling couldn't help but sneer.

Xu Erniu's face flushed with excitement. He said excitedly: "Captain, our artillery fire must have buried a lot of the Japanese soldiers, right? We have accomplished a great deed this time!"

"Don't dream, kid. The Japanese devils are not that easy to kill." Zhang Ling rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Don't just stand there, quickly dismantle the mortar and let's retreat!"

"Retreat? Shouldn't we take this opportunity to charge?" Li Dazhuang was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion.

"Charge! Are you stupid?" Zhang Ling cursed angrily, "I've spent so much effort just to make a big noise to attract the attention of the main force, but you still want to charge? Don't you think that the few of us are enough to fill the gaps in the Japanese's teeth?"

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang finally reacted and suddenly realized what was going on.

"You are indeed a wise and shrewd person, Battalion Commander! I, Xu, admire you!" Xu Erniu said with a simple smile.

"Stop flattering me! Get to work!"

While cursing, Zhang Ling took the lead in packing up.

At this moment, a burst of intensive gunfire suddenly came from the distance, mixed with several deafening explosions.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling was shocked and looked up quickly.

On the distant hillside, the originally peaceful position suddenly burst into flames and deafening shouts, obviously a fierce battle had broken out.

Zhang Ling's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the people from the independent regiment took action? How come these guys are even more impatient than me?"

"Battalion Commander, what should we do now?" Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang were also a little panicked and asked hurriedly.

Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "Don't worry about it, retreat first!"

After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards the depths of the forest.

......

At the same time, in a valley not far from where Zhang Ling and others were, an Eighth Route Army team of hundreds of people was hiding in the dense woods. The leader was a burly man with a full beard and two box guns on his waist. It was Li Yunlong, the commander of the independent regiment!

"Report to the regiment commander, it seems that a fight has broken out over at the 772nd Regiment!" a soldier hurried over to report.

"Oh? The 772nd Regiment? Is that the regiment that was crippled by the Japanese?" Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, it's them. I heard that there is less than one company of soldiers left. This time they were incorporated into our independent regiment." The soldier replied.

"Damn it, they dare to fight the Japanese with only a company of soldiers, they are really brave!" Li Yunlong sneered, "But this momentum is not bad, it's a bit like the style of our independent regiment!"

"Monk, do you think we should go and help them?" Li Yunlong turned his head and looked at a thin, bald soldier beside him. This man was Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment.

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment and said, "Old Li, our mission this time is to ambush the Sakata Regiment. It is better for us not to interfere with the affairs of the 772nd Regiment."

"I know, I'm just asking casually." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said impatiently, "Damn, this Sakata regiment is really cunning. We have been guarding here for almost two days, why haven't they shown up yet?"

"Be patient. The Japanese are very cunning. They are definitely testing our strength." Zhao Gang comforted.

"Wait a little longer. If they don't show up, I'll take my men to their lair!" Li Yunlong said gritting his teeth.

At this moment, a signalman ran over in a hurry and shouted loudly: "Report to the regiment commander and political commissar, there is a message from the 772nd Regiment, something happened there!"

"Something happened? What happened?" Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's face changed and they asked in unison.

"They said that over there, it seemed... it seemed..." The signalman stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"What does it seem like? Tell me quickly, kid!" Li Yunlong was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"They said that they seemed... seemed to have taken down the Sakata Regiment's headquarters!" The signalman finally blushed and finished his words in one breath.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were stunned as if they were struck by lightning!

After two loud noises, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence. Amid the smoke, Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes and watched the movements of the enemy's position opposite him.

"Battalion Commander, why are the Japanese soldiers silent? Are they scared silly by us?" Li Dazhuang asked in a muffled voice, still holding a grenade tightly in his hand.

Xu Erniu wiped the dust off his face and laughed, "Of course not. Look who fired the shot! Back then..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Ling shouted at Xu Erniu, who was about to start a long speech, "Can't you use your brain? How could the Japs be scared so easily? They must be up to something bad!"

As soon as Zhang Ling finished speaking, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps and shouting from the opposite side. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" What tricks are these little devils going to play?

"Everyone, pay attention! Get ready for battle!" Zhang Ling roared, his voice echoing in the valley.
