Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Thank you..." Zhang Ling said weakly.

"You're welcome." The woman smiled. "My name is Li Xin, and I'm a military doctor in the Eighth Route Army."

"Eighth Route Army?" Zhang Ling's heart moved.

He had heard of the Eighth Route Army, an armed force that fought against the Japanese. They were brave and skilled in fighting and were deeply loved by the people.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Ling asked.

"We received intelligence that the Sakata Corps had set up an ambush here, so we rushed over to support you," said Li Xin.

"So that's it..." Zhang Ling suddenly realized.

"Now the Sakata Brigade has been completely wiped out by us, you are safe." Li Xin said.

Hearing the news, Zhang Ling's heart was filled with joy.

The old devil Nobutsu Sakata is finally dead!

"That's great..." Zhang Ling said with relief.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he passed out.

......

When Zhang Ling woke up again, he was lying on a simple hospital bed.

He looked around and found himself in a cave.

"Are you awake?" a familiar voice came.

Zhang Ling turned his head and saw Li Xin sitting beside his bed, looking at him with concern.

"Where...where am I?" Zhang Ling asked.

"This is our temporary medical station." Li Xin said, "You have been in a coma for three days."

"Three days?" Zhang Ling said in surprise.

"Yes, your injuries are very serious. Fortunately, you are lucky enough to survive." Li Xin said.

"Thank you..." Zhang Ling said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Li Xin smiled slightly, "This is what I should do."

Zhang Ling looked at Li Xin, his heart filled with warmth.

He had never felt such warmth before. This feeling made him feel comfortable and at ease.

"By the way, how are the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment?" Zhang Ling asked.

Li Xin's face suddenly turned a little gloomy.

"772nd Regiment...772nd Regiment...Except you, everyone else..." Li Xin hesitated to speak.

Zhang Ling's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

There were loud gunshots and deafening explosions outside the headquarters. Zhang Ling thought to himself, this old devil Sakata really has a trick up his sleeve! He grabbed Sakata Nobutsu, who was still half-breathed, and lifted him up like a chicken, shouting to the Sanlian soldiers, "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Sakata Nobutsu's chest was bleeding profusely, his face was pale, but he was still forcing himself to curse: "Baga! You Chinese pigs, all of you are dead!"

Zhang Ling sneered and slapped him in the face with his backhand. Half of Sakata Nobutsu's face swelled up immediately and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

"You old devil, you won't be so arrogant for much longer! Today I'll show you what it means to be ruthless and merciless!"

As soon as they rushed out of the command post, they ran into a group of Japanese soldiers.

"Da da da......"

Dense bullets were fired and several soldiers fell to the ground.

"Cover!" Zhang Ling used Sakata Nobutsu in front of him as a meat shield, and at the same time commanded the soldiers to fight back.

The Japanese soldiers obviously didn't expect that they would hold Sakata Nobutsu hostage, so they were afraid to use force and their firepower was slightly weaker. Zhang Ling seized the opportunity and led the remaining soldiers to retreat into the woods while fighting.

In the woods, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment had already engaged in a firefight with the Japanese reinforcements.

"Captain, are you okay?" When the company commander saw Zhang Ling return safely, he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"It's okay, I caught that old devil Sakata!" Zhang Ling threw the dying Sakata Nobutsu to the ground.

"Captain, what should we do now? The Japanese reinforcements are increasing in number, and we are afraid..." The second company commander looked embarrassed.

Zhang Ling looked around, frowning. The current situation was indeed not optimistic, with the enemy's reinforcements coming in continuously. They were surrounded in the woods, and there was little hope of breaking out.

He looked at Sakata Nobutsu who was lying on the ground groaning, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Tie up this old devil!"

......

At the Japanese command post, a Japanese officer hurriedly ran to a tall Japanese soldier and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, the regiment commander Sakata has been captured by the Chinese!"

"What?!" The tall Japanese soldier was Captain Yoshida who came to reinforce. He grabbed the officer by the collar and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Captain Sakata... was... captured by the Chinese!"

"Baka!" Yoshida pushed the officer to the ground. "Sakata is a piece of shit! He was captured by the Chinese! Send someone to negotiate with the Chinese immediately and rescue Captain Sakata!"

......

In the woods, Zhang Ling had people tie Sakata Nobutsu to a big tree.

Nobutsu Sakata had woken up at this time. He looked at the Chinese soldiers around him with fear in his eyes.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Zhang Ling walked up to him, squatted down, and patted his face: "Old devil, it feels bad, right?"

"You...you despicable Chinese..." Sakata Nobutsu cursed with gritted teeth.

"Despicable? Haha..." Zhang Ling laughed, "Compared to you beasts, we are too kind!"

He stood up and said to the soldier next to him: "Go and bring the Japanese negotiator over here."

......

After a while, the Japanese negotiators came into the woods.

"Master, our commander invites you." said a soldier.

The Japanese negotiator followed the soldier to Zhang Ling tremblingly.

"Madam, nice to meet you." Zhang Ling said with a smile.

"What...what do you want?" the Japanese negotiator asked stutteringly.

"It's very simple. Use your Captain Yoshida to exchange for Nobutsu Sakata." Zhang Ling said.

"This... This is impossible!" The Japanese negotiator shook his head quickly, "Captain Yoshida is from the Empire..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Ling interrupted him, "I'll give you half an hour to think about it. If I don't see Captain Yoshida in half an hour, I will..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed Sakata Nobutsu in the face several times.

"Ah..." Sakata Nobutsu was so frightened that he shouted loudly: "Yoshida-kun, save me! Save me..."

The Japanese negotiator's face turned pale. He looked at Zhang Ling's cold eyes and knew that he was not joking.

"I...I will go back and report to the captain..."

......

After the Japanese negotiator left, Zhang Ling walked up to Sakata Nobutsu, squatted down, and whispered in his ear: "Old Japanese, enjoy your last moments..."

The Japanese negotiator ran all the way back to the headquarters and told Captain Yoshida of Zhang Ling's request.

Yoshida was furious after hearing this and slammed his fist on the table: "Baka! How dare Zhang Ling be so arrogant! Who does he think he is?!"

"Captain, what should we do now?" asked a Japanese officer.

Yoshida paced back and forth, his face gloomy. He knew that if he didn't rescue Sakata Nobutsu, the morale would definitely plummet, and Sakata Nobutsu knew a lot of important military secrets. Once they fell into the hands of the Chinese army, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, he was unwilling to exchange himself for Sakata Nobutsu. He was the captain of the great island empire, how could he be threatened by a Chinese pig? !

Just as he was hesitating, there was a commotion outside the headquarters...

The gunfire and explosions outside the headquarters became more and more frequent. Zhang Ling's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no! I've fallen into a trap!" The old devil Sakata Nobutsu actually played an empty city trick!

"Third Company, retreat!" Zhang Ling made a prompt decision and led the soldiers of the Third Company to rush out.

However, it's too late.

The Japs' reinforcements have surrounded the entire headquarters.

"Break through!" Zhang Ling roared, picked up his submachine gun and started firing.

The soldiers of the third company also fought desperately, but the Japanese had too many people and they were outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Captain, we are surrounded!" a soldier cried.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling. Was he going to die at the hands of this devil after his rebirth?

No! I won't give in!

Zhang Ling's eyes were bloodshot as he fired wildly. Bullet shells fell like raindrops.

"Da da da......"

Suddenly, Zhang Ling's submachine gun misfired.

"No more bullets!" Zhang Ling cursed inwardly, threw away his submachine gun and pulled out the pistol from his waist.

"Bang bang bang..."

Zhang Ling fired several shots in succession, killing several Japanese devils.

However, there were too many devils and they came like a tide.

"what......"

A soldier was stabbed in the chest by a Japanese bayonet and fell to the ground.

"Xiao Li!" Zhang Ling roared, his eyes filled with grief and anger.

More and more soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

There were only a few soldiers left by Zhang Ling's side.

"Captain, let us cover you as you break out!" said a soldier.

"No! Let's die together!" Zhang Ling refused.

"Captain, you can't die! You still have to lead us to fight the Japanese and avenge our country!" said another soldier.

"Yes, Commander, you can't die!" Several other soldiers also said.

Zhang Ling looked at these young faces and was deeply moved.

"Okay! I promise you, I will survive! For you, and for all my dead brothers and sisters, I must survive!" Zhang Ling said firmly.

"Captain, hurry up! We will cover you!" A soldier pushed Zhang Ling.

"Brothers, take care!" Zhang Ling said goodbye with tears in his eyes, then turned and ran towards the woods.

"Da da da......"

The Japanese bullets chased Zhang Ling like raindrops.

Zhang Ling ran very fast, constantly dodging bullets.

"boom!"

A bullet hit Zhang Ling's left arm.

"Ah..." Zhang Ling groaned and almost fell down.

But he gritted his teeth and continued running forward.

He knew that he could not fall down because he still had an unfinished mission.

He must live, for his dead brothers and sisters, for all his compatriots who were killed by the devils, he must live!

......

Zhang Ling tried his best and finally ran into the woods.

He leaned against a big tree, breathing heavily.

His left arm was covered in blood and the severe pain almost made him faint.

But he knew that he couldn't faint, and he had to find a safe place to bandage his wounds as soon as possible.

He looked around and found a cave not far away.

He endured the pain and walked towards the cave.

......

The cave was dark and damp.

Zhang Ling fumbled and lit a match. With the faint light, he saw a stone bed in the cave.

He walked to the stone bed and slowly lay down.
