Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

However, he didn't care. As long as he could keep the good things he had hidden, nothing else mattered.

"By the way, why are there only three of you?" the officer suddenly asked.

Zhang Ling was well prepared and said calmly, "All the other brothers have sacrificed their lives, and only three of us are left." As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears and pretended to be heartbroken.

The officer sighed, patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder, and consoled him: "Brother, thank you for your hard work! Your sacrifice is worth it! I will apply for a pension from the division headquarters."

Zhang Ling cursed in his heart, "Pension? I'm afraid it went into your pocket!"

Under the order of the officer, the soldiers began to carry the weapons and ammunition out of the cave. Zhang Ling and the other two also helped, taking the opportunity to secretly hide some inconspicuous weapons and ammunition on their bodies.

The officer did not notice their actions. His attention was focused on the heavy weapons, especially the Type 92 infantry gun, which he couldn't let go.

"With this cannon, I can get promoted and make a fortune!" the officer was secretly proud of himself.

After all the weapons and ammunition were moved, the officer led the soldiers out of the cave. Zhang Ling and the other two watched them leave, with meaningful smiles on their faces.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do now?" asked Xu Erniu.

Zhang Ling took out the treasure map from his pocket and laughed: "Of course, we are going to dig for treasure!"

The three left the cave and followed the instructions on the treasure map to a hidden valley.

Zhang Ling pointed to a huge rock in the valley and said, "The treasure is hidden under that rock!"

The three of them worked together to move the boulder away, revealing a deep cave.

The cave was filled with all kinds of weapons and ammunition, more than in the previous cave!

In addition to a large number of rifles, machine guns, and grenades, there were also several brand-new Czech light machine guns and even a mortar!

"Oh fuck! I'm rich!" Xu Erniu jumped up excitedly.

Li Dazhuang also widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

A smug smile appeared on Zhang Ling's face. He knew that with these weapons and ammunition, they could form a powerful armed force to avenge their dead brothers!

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the valley... Who was coming? Was it an enemy or a friend? Zhang Ling clenched his gun tightly, his heart full of vigilance...

The chaotic footsteps outside the cave entrance were getting closer and closer. Zhang Ling and the other two immediately became alert and tightened their guns.

"Who?!" Xu Erniu yelled.

Several figures appeared at the entrance of the cave, led by a tall officer, followed by several soldiers.

"It's someone from the division headquarters!" Li Dazhuang said in a low voice.

Zhang Ling signaled the two to stay calm, then went to meet them.

"Reporting to the commander, we are from the independent battalion and have discovered a Japanese arsenal here!" Zhang Ling stood at attention and saluted, saying loudly.

The tall officer looked Zhang Ling up and down, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "Independent Battalion? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Reporting to the commander, our independent battalion is newly established and directly under the leadership of the division headquarters!" Zhang Ling lied without changing his expression.

"Oh? Newly formed?" The tall officer looked at Zhang Ling with a half-smile, "Then who is your battalion commander?"

"Reporting to the commander, it's me!" Zhang Ling raised his head and chest and said proudly.

The tall officer was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You? You? A young boy dares to call himself the battalion commander?"

Zhang Ling was not angry either, and still said with a smile: "Report to the commander, although our independent battalion was established not long ago, its combat effectiveness is definitely not weak! If you don't believe me, you can ask my brothers!"

As he spoke, Zhang Ling winked at Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang behind him.

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang immediately understood what he meant. They stepped forward and said loudly, "Sir, our battalion commander is a genius! He has led us to many victories!"

"Yes, the battalion commander is very good at predicting things and always catches the Japanese off guard!"

The tall officer looked at the three people singing the same tune and became more suspicious.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging!" The tall officer waved his hand, "Take me to see the arsenal!"

Zhang Ling hurriedly led the tall officer and others into the cave.

Seeing the mountains of weapons and ammunition, the tall officer's eyes widened.

"So many goodies!" The tall officer rubbed his hands excitedly, "We're going to get rich now!"

Zhang Ling sneered in his heart, but pretended to be honest on the surface: "Report to the commander, these are all captured by our independent battalion, they should belong to us!"

"It belongs to you?" The tall officer glanced at Zhang Ling and said, "You have a big appetite! Do you know how much these weapons and ammunition are worth?"

"Sir, I know! But these are what our brothers paid for with their lives, and we deserve due rewards!" Zhang Ling said without giving in.

"Reward? What reward do you want?" asked the tall officer with narrowed eyes.

"Report to the commander, our independent battalion wants to be independent and not be restricted by anyone!" Zhang Ling boldly expressed his thoughts.

The tall officer's face darkened when he heard this: "Independence? Do you want breakfast, kid?"

"Report to the commander, we have no intention of having breakfast, we just want to serve the country better!" Zhang Ling explained hurriedly.

"Hmph, stop talking to me about this useless stuff!" The tall officer snorted coldly, "These weapons and ammunition now belong to the division headquarters, so your independent battalion can forget about it!"

"Sir, you can't do this!" Xu Erniu was anxious, "We fought so hard to get these!"

"Shut up!" The tall officer glared at Xu Erniu fiercely, "You have no right to speak here!"

"You..." Xu Erniu wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhang Ling.

"Battalion Commander..." Xu Erniu looked at Zhang Ling with a face full of grievance.

Zhang Ling patted Xu Erniu on the shoulder, signaling him to stay calm.

"Sir, do you really want to keep all these weapons and ammunition for yourself?" Zhang Ling looked at the tall officer with a cold light in his eyes.

The tall officer laughed out loud: "Boy, are you threatening me?"

"I dare not!" Zhang Ling shook his head, "I just want to remind you, sir, that some things are not so easy to swallow!"

The smile on the tall officer's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became cold: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Ling didn't say anything, but took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

"What is this?" asked the tall officer puzzledly.

"Treasure map!" Zhang Ling said word by word.

"Treasure map?" The tall officer became even more confused.

"That's right!" Zhang Ling nodded, "This treasure map marks the location of another, larger arsenal of the Japanese!"

"A bigger arsenal?!" The tall officer's eyes suddenly lit up. "Where is it? Take me there!"

Zhang Ling sneered, "Sir, do you really want to go?"

"Nonsense! Of course I want to go!" the tall officer said impatiently.

"Okay, please follow me!" Zhang Ling turned and walked towards the depths of the cave.

The tall officer and his men quickly followed.

Deep in the cave, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

"Battalion Commander, why is it so dark here?" Xu Erniu asked with some fear.

"Don't be afraid, just follow me!" Zhang Ling comforted.

The group groped their way forward and after walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at an open underground space.

"This is another arsenal of the Japanese!" Zhang Ling said, pointing ahead.

The tall officer and others raised the torches in their hands and shone them forward.

There was nothing in front of me.

"Where are the people?" The tall officer was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and turned around to look at Zhang Ling.

But where are Zhang Ling and the other two behind him?

"Damn it! I've been fooled!" The tall officer roared, he knew he had been fooled.

At this time, Zhang Ling and the other two had already disappeared into the night with the most sophisticated weapons and ammunition...

The tall officer stood in the empty underground space, shaking with anger.

"Zhang Ling! I will definitely catch you!"

He growled and gnashed his teeth, and the sound echoed in the empty cave for a long time...

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the three of them nervously clenched their guns. Zhang Ling made a gesture, signaling Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang to hide aside.

A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, a soldier wearing the uniform of the National Army.

"Who?" Zhang Ling shouted sternly.

The soldier was startled and quickly raised his hands: "Don't shoot! We are one family! I was sent by the division to take over the arsenal."

Zhang Ling and the other two looked at each other and were secretly delighted: the fish had taken the bait!

"Sent by the division headquarters?" Zhang Ling pretended to be surprised. "So soon? We just discovered this arsenal and haven't had time to report it yet!"

The soldier looked at Zhang Ling suspiciously: "You didn't report it? Then how do I know about it?"

Zhang Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe other brothers found it and reported it to the division headquarters."

The soldier nodded, thinking that what Zhang Ling said made sense.

"Then...where is the armory?" the soldier asked.

"It's right here!" Zhang Ling said, pointing to the cave entrance.

The soldiers walked in and their eyes widened when they saw the mountains of weapons and ammunition.

"So many!" exclaimed the soldier.

"Yes, they are all good stuff!" Zhang Ling said with a smile, "The division sent you to receive them. You have worked so hard."

"As we should, as we should." the soldier said quickly.

Zhang Ling observed the soldier's expression calmly and found a glimmer of greed in his eyes.

"Can you transport these weapons and ammunition by yourself?" Zhang Ling asked.

The soldier shook his head. "Of course we can't transport so many of them. I have to go back and call for help."

"Okay." Zhang Ling said, "You go back and call for help first. We'll watch here to prevent anyone from finding out."

The soldier nodded, turned and left the cave.

Zhang Ling looked at the soldier's departing back, a sneer appearing on his lips.

"Battalion Commander, are we just going to let him go like this?" Xu Erniu asked.
