Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Captain, the political commissar...he is dying!" said the thin figure breathlessly. He was the communicator of the independent regiment.

"What?!" Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard this and grabbed the communicator by the collar. "What happened to Lao Zhao? Tell me now!"

"The political commissar...he was injured by the Japanese artillery shells, and now...now he is only breathing his last breath!" said the communicator in a crying voice.

When Li Yunlong heard this, he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

"Political Commissar..." Kong Jie also had a sad face and red eyes.

Zhang Ling looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings. He knew that in the original novel, Zhao Gang was sacrificed in this anti-sweep operation, but he didn't expect that he would witness this scene with his own eyes after traveling through time.

"Captain, let's go see the political commissar!" Kong Jie urged.

Li Yunlong finally came to his senses, pushed the communicator aside, and walked down the mountain at a brisk pace. Kong Jie followed closely behind him. Before leaving, he glared at Zhang Ling fiercely and threatened: "Boy, you'd better behave yourself. I'll deal with you when I come back!"

Zhang Ling looked at their receding backs and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Zhao Gang could survive this disaster.

As night fell and the mountain wind howled, Zhang Ling was tied to a wooden stake, suffering from hunger and cold. He didn't know what his future would be like, nor what his meaning was in this world.

"Oh God, since you let me travel here and let me meet them, could it be... could it be that you want me to change their fate?" Zhang Ling muttered to himself while looking up at the starry sky.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came, Zhang Ling looked up and saw Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others carrying a stretcher, walking over in a hurry. Lying on the stretcher was Zhao Gang who was seriously injured.

"Hurry! Go and get Doctor Wang!" Li Yunlong shouted anxiously.

"Captain, Doctor Wang...Doctor Wang..." a soldier hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong with Doctor Wang? Tell me quickly!" Li Yunlong roared.

"Doctor Wang...Doctor Wang...was captured by the devils..."

"What?!" Li Yunlong was furious when he heard this and grabbed the soldier by the collar. "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Captain..." The soldier was so frightened by Li Yunlong's anger that he trembled and couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Yunlong pushed the soldier away, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally fell on Zhang Ling.

"Boy! I'm asking you, can you cure diseases and save lives?" Li Yunlong's voice exploded in Zhang Ling's ears like thunder.

Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, then realized that Li Yunlong wanted him to save Zhao Gang!

The thin figure stumbled and spoke in a panic, but Zhang Ling saw something familiar in that figure. Li Yunlong, the fearless Li Yunlong, was so panicked at this moment. What happened?

"Li...Li Yunlong?" Zhang Ling tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart and spoke tentatively.

The figure heard the voice, stopped abruptly, and turned to look at Zhang Ling. Under the moonlight, on that face full of smoke and fatigue, a pair of eyes were surprisingly bright.

"Do you know me?" Li Yunlong took a few steps to Zhang Ling and looked him up and down. "Which unit are you from? Why are you in Black Cloud Village?"

Zhang Ling was groaning in his heart, he had no idea that he would end up in Black Cloud Village. If he had known that he would travel to the world of Bright Sword, he would never provoke those devils even if he was beaten to death!

"I..." Zhang Ling was about to explain but was interrupted impatiently by Kong Jie.

"Okay, Lao Li, don't worry about which unit he is from, let's talk about what happened to the political commissar first!" Kong Jie asked in a rough voice, "Didn't you go to meet the political commissar? Why did you come back alone? Where is the political commissar?"

Li Yunlong's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. He gritted his teeth, punched the wooden stake next to him, and said bitterly: "The political commissar... the political commissar... was captured by the devils!"

"What?!" Kong Jie was shocked. "How...how is this possible? Isn't there a guard platoon around the political commissar? How could it be..."

"Don't mention it!" Li Yunlong kicked the stone at his feet and said angrily, "It's all the fault of that bastard Ding Wei! If he hadn't led the Japanese cavalry regiment to our side, I would have brought the political commissar back safely long ago!"

Zhang Ling was listening to this and was secretly shocked. He knew that the political commissar Li Yunlong was talking about was Zhao Gang, who was surrounded by the Japanese in Zhaojiayu and died heroically to cover the troops' breakout.

Could it be... Could it be that the time point I traveled to was exactly the day when Zhao Gang was captured?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling's heart suddenly ignited a fire. Zhao Gang, the brave and fearless political commissar in the original work, ended up with such a tragic ending, which was really regrettable.

Now that I have the opportunity to change all this, how can I just stand by and watch?

"Captain, Captain Kong, I know where the political commissar is being held!" Zhang Ling suddenly said.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie turned to look at him at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.

"What did you say?" Li Yunlong grabbed Zhang Ling's collar and lifted him up from the ground. "Say it again, do you know where the political commissar is being held?"

Zhang Ling met Li Yunlong's gaze without fear and said word by word: "I know, and I can also take you to save him!"

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Good boy, you have courage! I like you! You said, as long as you can rescue the political commissar, I will recognize you as my brother!"

Zhang Ling smiled secretly in his heart, accept me as your brother? I am from the future, I know your future achievements!

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Rescuing Zhao Gang is the top priority.

"Captain, the Japanese have detained the political commissar in Ping'an County, which is an important stronghold of the Japanese..." Zhang Ling told them all the intelligence he had obtained from the Japanese, as well as his own plan.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were stunned. They did not expect that this seemingly ordinary soldier had such meticulous thinking and bold plans.

"Good boy, I was right about you!" Li Yunlong slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Let's do it! Lao Kong, go back and gather the troops immediately. I'll go get the monk. Tonight, we'll charge into Ping'an County and rescue the political commissar!"

"Okay!" Kong Jie was also excited and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Zhang Ling suddenly called Kong Jie, "Captain Kong, I still need you to help me prepare some things..."

Zhang Ling leaned close to Kong Jie's ear and whispered a few words. Kong Jie was surprised after hearing this, but he finally nodded and turned away.

Looking at Kong Jie's departing back, Zhang Ling showed a sneer.

Japs, don't you like playing with fire? Then I'll play with you!

Li Yunlong's voice made Zhang Ling more certain that he had come to the world of Bright Sword. He tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and wanted to see clearly whether the person who came was the bearded man in his memory.

"Brother Yunlong, don't panic, speak slowly, what happened to the political commissar?" Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong in a panic and asked hurriedly.

"Commander, the political commissar...the political commissar has been captured by the Japanese!" Li Yunlong said breathlessly.

"What?!" Kong Jie was shocked. "What on earth is going on?"

"It's like this, Commander..." Li Yunlong took a breath and then narrated what had happened.

It turned out that the independent regiment received an order from their superiors to cooperate with friendly forces to block the attack of a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army and cover the transfer of the headquarters. After the battle started, the independent regiment successfully blocked the Japanese army at the forefront of the position with its favorable terrain and tenacious fighting style.

However, the cunning Japanese commander saw that the frontal attack was blocked, so he sent a small force to go around the rear of the independent regiment and attacked the headquarters of the independent regiment. Political Commissar Zhao Gang was unfortunately captured in order to cover the retreat of his comrades.

"Damn the Japs! I'm going to fight them!" Kong Jie was so angry after listening to Li Yunlong's story that he yelled, "Brother Yunlong, bring your brothers with you, let's go and rescue the political commissar!"

"Yes, rescue the political commissar!" The soldiers of the independent regiment were excited and volunteered to fight.

"Wait!" Zhang Ling suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at the stranger tied to the stake.

"Boy, what do you want to say?" Kong Jie frowned and asked.

Zhang Ling took a deep breath. He knew that the era he was in was a war-torn era, and he could lose his life if he was not careful. However, as a person from the future, he knew a lot of information about the war and many stories about these heroes.

He could not bear to see these heroes fall into danger in order to save their own people, nor could he bear to see Zhao Gang fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders.

"I know where the Japanese hold the prisoners." Zhang Ling said.

"What?!" Kong Jie and Li Yunlong asked in unison, with shock on their faces.

"Boy, you didn't lie to me?" Kong Jie walked quickly to Zhang Ling, grabbed his collar, and asked with his eyes wide open.

Zhang Ling looked him in the eye without fear and said, "I guarantee with my life that what I said is absolutely true!"

Kong Jie stared at Zhang Ling's eyes for a long time, as if trying to see through his heart. After a moment, he let go of his hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll believe you this time! Tell me, where are the Japanese holding the prisoners?"

Zhang Ling sorted out his thoughts and pointed to the southeast and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the devils should be holding the prisoners in an abandoned brick kiln factory on the eastern outskirts of Ping'an County."

"The brick kiln factory in the eastern suburbs of Ping'an County?" Kong Jie frowned slightly and turned to look at Li Yunlong. "Brother Yunlong, are you familiar with that place?"

"Familiar, of course familiar!" Li Yunlong slapped his thigh and said, "I once led people there to rob! That place is very remote, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The devils really know how to choose a place!"
