Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Old Li, stop talking so discouragingly! If you're afraid of death, just get out of the way. I'm going to lead the brothers of the independent regiment!" Kong Jie's eyes were wide open, he pulled out his pistol and was ready to rush out.

"Shut up!" Li Yunlong grabbed Kong Jie, his eyes gleaming, "We are here to save people, not to die! Boy, where did you say the devils kept the prisoners?"

Zhang Ling knew that Li Yunlong was asking him, so he pointed to the southeast and said, "The brick kiln factory in the eastern suburbs of Ping'an County has a complex terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a good place to detain prisoners."

"Okay!" Li Yunlong slapped his thigh fiercely, "Let's lure the tiger away from the mountain! Lao Kong, you take some people to stay and stop the Japanese, and I will take people to rescue the political commissar!"

"No! If we go, we go together. If we stay, we stay together!" Kong Jie said with his neck stiff.

"Stop talking nonsense! Obey orders!" Li Yunlong roared.

Kong Jie wanted to argue, but was stopped by Zhang Ling. "Captain Kong, just listen to Captain Li. Now is not the time to act on impulse. Saving people is the most important thing!"

Kong Jie looked at Zhang Ling, then at Li Yunlong, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll trust you this time! Brother Yunlong, you better be careful, I'm still waiting to drink with you!"

"Don't worry, just wait for my good news!" Li Yunlong said, waving his hand, "The first and second battalions of the independent regiment, follow me! The third battalion stays and covers our retreat!"

"Yes!"

In the cover of night, the soldiers of the independent regiment acted quickly. They were divided into two teams. One team rushed towards Ping'an County in the southeast direction, while the other team stayed behind to block the Japanese pursuers.

The sound of gunfire, shouts, and horse hooves intertwined to form a tragic war symphony. Zhang Ling ran along with Li Yunlong and others, his heart full of worry and expectation. He didn't know what was waiting for them, but he knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed to pieces...

Zhang Ling's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Kong Jie and Li Yunlong looked at each other in bewilderment. They were both veterans who had experienced many battles, so they would not easily believe the words of a stranger.

"Boy, you'd better make sure that what you say is true. If you dare to play any tricks..." Kong Jie's thick fingers creaked, and his eyes were fierce. He was not a good person. If this kid dared to lie to him, he would definitely let this kid taste what it means to be unable to live or die!

"Captain, this boy has delicate skin and tender flesh, and it's obvious at first glance that he's not a good person. He might be a spy sent by the Japanese!" A soldier leaned close to Kong Jie's ear and whispered.

"Yes, Commander, we can't trust him!" The other soldiers also echoed.

Li Yunlong didn't say anything, but just stared at Zhang Ling, trying to read something from his expression. Although he had a hot temper, he was a man of great delicacy. He always felt that this young man was not simple.

Zhang Ling knew that this was a critical moment for his survival. If he could not gain their trust, he would probably die here. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Of course I know the seriousness of the matter. I guarantee with my personality that what I said is true!"

"Personality?" Kong Jie sneered, "You still have personality? When I was fighting on the battlefield, you didn't even know where to play in the mud!"

"Captain, I..." Zhang Ling wanted to explain something else but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Old Kong, let's listen to him first." Li Yunlong walked up to Zhang Ling, looked him up and down, and asked, "Boy, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Ling."

"Zhang Ling..." Li Yunlong repeated the name, as if thinking about something. "You said you knew where the devils were holding the prisoners. How did you know that?"

"This..." Zhang Ling hesitated. He couldn't say that he had traveled through time, could he? That would only make them think he was crazy.

"What? You can't tell me?" Kong Jie pressed on. "I think you are just feeling guilty. Tell me, who are you? Are you a spy sent by the devil?"

"I'm not a spy!" Zhang Ling retorted loudly, "I really am here to help you!"

"Help us?" Kong Jie said as if he had heard a funny joke. "Just you? What can you do to help us?"

"I..." Zhang Ling was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he knew a lot of things about the future, right?

"Brother Yunlong, stop talking nonsense with him. I think this guy is just here to delay time. Let's break out quickly!" a soldier said anxiously.

The gunshots coming from afar were becoming more and more frequent. It was obvious that the Japanese encirclement was shrinking and they didn't have much time left.

Li Yunlong looked into the distance, then looked at Zhang Ling, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Okay, kid, I'll believe you this time! Tell me, where are the Japanese holding the prisoners?"

Zhang Ling was delighted, knowing that he had made the right bet. Li Yunlong was a man willing to trust others. He pointed to the southeast and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the devils should have held the prisoners in an abandoned brick kiln factory in the eastern suburbs of Ping'an County."

"The brick kiln factory in the eastern suburbs of Ping'an County?" Li Yunlong frowned. "I know that place. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Japanese are really good at choosing places!"

"Captain, how do we fight?" Kong Jie asked.

"Well, let's split our forces into two groups..." Li Yunlong pointed at the map and began to deploy the battle plan.

Before Kong Jie finished speaking, a flare flew into the sky, lighting up the night sky like day. Then, dense gunfire came from the southeast, accompanied by bursts of explosions and shouts of killing.

"Oh no! It's a Japanese patrol!" Li Yunlong's face changed. "It seems that the Japanese have stepped up their vigilance. We have to act quickly!"

"Brother Yunlong, you lead the first and third battalions to launch a feint attack from the front to attract the enemy's attention. I will lead the second battalion and the special forces company to encircle them from the flank and attack the brick kiln factory directly!" Kong Jie acted decisively and quickly issued a combat order.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong and Kong Jie looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

Zhang Ling was escorted by two soldiers and followed behind Kong Jie. He thought to himself: It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable, but I don’t know if my small body can withstand it.

In the darkness of night, the soldiers of the independent regiment rushed towards the brick kiln factory on the eastern outskirts of Ping'an County like tigers descending from the mountains.

......

In the eastern suburbs of Ping'an County, an abandoned brick kiln factory is brightly lit and heavily guarded.

Several Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles were patrolling back and forth, vigilantly watching the movements around them.

In a warehouse of the brick kiln factory, Zhao Gang was tied to a wooden stake with his hands and feet tied up. His face was covered in blood and he had obviously been tortured.

"Baga! You Chinese pigs, tell me quickly, where is your command center? How are your medical records?" A short and fat Japanese officer with a mustache asked viciously, waving a samurai sword in his hand.

"Bah! Damn it! Even if I die, I won't reveal a single word!" Zhao Gang spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at the Japanese officer in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes full of contempt and hatred.

"Yoshi! You're really tough!" The Japanese officer sneered, lifted Zhao Gang's chin with the samurai sword in his hand, and said, "But I like challenges the most. I want to see how tough you are!"

As he spoke, he threw the samurai sword in his hand to a Japanese soldier next to him, then unbuckled the belt around his waist, revealing the blood-stained military uniform underneath.

"Miss Hua, your good day is coming!" The Japanese officer grinned lewdly and reached out to tear Zhao Gang's clothes.

"Beast! Stop it!" Zhao Gang roared while struggling desperately.

"Baga! It's no use even if you scream your throat out!" The Japanese officer grinned and reached out to unbutton Zhao Gang's pants.

At this moment, the door of the warehouse was suddenly kicked open by someone, and then several black grenades flew in from outside the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A deafening explosion sounded, and the warehouse was suddenly in chaos.

"Baga! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The Japanese soldiers shouted in panic.

"Kill!" Amid the deafening shouts of killing, Kong Jie led the soldiers of the Second Battalion and the Special Service Company and rushed into the warehouse like a tiger descending from the mountain.

"Da da da......"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Fierce gunfire echoed in the warehouse, bullets flew, and blood splattered.

Kong Jie charged forward holding a Czech light machine gun, the machine gun in his hand spewing out angry flames, mowing down the enemies in front of him one by one.

"Come here, you bastards! I'll send you to see the King of Hell!" Kong Jie roared, firing the machine gun in his hand continuously, and bullet shells fell to the ground like raindrops.

"Commander, the political commissar is there!" At this time, a soldier pointed at Zhao Gang who was tied to a wooden stake not far away and shouted loudly.

When Kong Jie heard the voice and looked, he saw Zhao Gang in tattered clothes and covered in blood, but he still held his head high with a firm look in his eyes.

"Old Zhao!" Kong Jie shouted, threw away the machine gun in his hand, rushed to Zhao Gang, and untied the ropes on him in no time.

"Old Kong, why are you here?" Zhao Gang asked in surprise, looking at Kong Jie in front of him.

"Nonsense, I'm here to save you!" Kong Jie said unhappily, "How are you, kid? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I won't die!" Zhao Gang stretched his muscles and said with gritted teeth, "Damn Japs, I'll settle accounts with them sooner or later!"

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao, we will settle this account with them sooner or later!" Kong Jie patted Zhao Gang's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"Commander, the Japanese army is coming!" At this time, a soldier ran over and reported.

"You came just in time, I haven't had enough killing yet!" Kong Jie's eyes flashed with a fierce look, "Give the order, everyone, prepare for battle!"

......

Outside the brick kiln factory, Li Yunlong and the soldiers from the first and third battalions were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

"Da da da......"
