Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling was silent for a moment, then bent down and took the gold watch from the Japanese soldier.

"Thank you..." the Japanese soldier said weakly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

However, the next second, Zhang Ling suddenly pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger at the Japanese soldier's head.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the Japanese soldier's head was blown up.

"Captain, you..." Li Ergou looked at Zhang Ling in surprise.

Zhang Ling put away his gun expressionlessly and said calmly, "He deserves to die."

Li Ergou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He understood that Zhang Ling's heart was dead.

In this cruel era of war, only those who are ruthless and merciless can survive.

Zhang Ling led the prisoners and disappeared into the night...

Shortly after they left, a large group of Japanese invaders arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp.

Seeing the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the ground, the Japanese commander became furious.

"Baga! Chase them! We must wipe out all these Chinese!"

The Japanese army followed the traces left by Zhang Ling and others and chased them all the way...

In a dense forest, Zhang Ling and others were resting.

"Commander, the Japs are chasing us!" a prisoner suddenly shouted.

......

The explosion was deafening, and the flames lit up half the sky. In the prisoner-of-war camp, the Japanese soldiers cried for their parents and fled in all directions.

Li Ergou was holding a Type 38 rifle captured from the Japanese in his hand, his face flushed with excitement. He aimed at a fleeing Japanese soldier and pulled the trigger without hesitation. "Bang!" The Japanese soldier fell to the ground.

"Damn it, let me give you a taste of my power!" Li Ergou shouted excitedly and chased after another Japanese soldier.

Zhang Ling was relatively calm. He commanded the prisoners and carried out the attack in an orderly manner.

Lao Zhao followed Zhang Ling and asked as he fired: "Captain, can we succeed this time?"

Zhang Ling's eyes were determined: "Whether it succeeds or not, it has to be done! I've had enough of this bullshit!"

Although the prisoners of war had simple weapons, they relied on their hatred and anger to defeat the Japanese.

However, the good times did not last long.

The Japanese reinforcements arrived soon.

Dense bullets poured down like raindrops, causing heavy casualties among the prisoners of war.

"Captain, there are too many Japanese devils. We can't hold on any longer!" Old Zhao shouted anxiously.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"

He led the charge, trying to break through the Japanese defense line.

However, the Japanese firepower was too strong, and Zhang Ling was quickly hit and fell to the ground.

"Captain!"

Li Ergou's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed to Zhang Ling regardless of everything.

"Er Gou... hurry up..." Zhang Ling said weakly, "Don't worry about me... lead the brothers... break through..."

"No! I can't leave you!" Li Ergou said with a sob.

"Listen to me... Go quickly..." Zhang Ling took out a bloodstained pocket watch from his arms with difficulty, "Give this... to... my daughter..."

"Daughter?" Li Ergou was stunned. He had never heard Zhang Ling mention that he had a daughter.

"Her name is... Zhang Xiaoya..." Zhang Ling said intermittently, "In... in Beiping..."

After saying this, Zhang Ling closed his eyes.

"Captain!" Li Ergou was heartbroken and hugged Zhang Ling's body tightly.

"Ergou! Run! The Japanese are coming!" Lao Zhao grabbed Li Ergou and dragged him away from the battlefield.

On the way to break out, the prisoners fell one by one.

Li Ergou and Lao Zhao took the few remaining prisoners of war and fought desperately to break out and finally escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp.

......

Beiping.

In a shabby alley, a ragged little girl was squatting on the ground, shivering.

Her name is Zhang Xiaoya, and she is Zhang Ling's daughter.

Ever since her father was taken away, she and her mother have been living a wandering life.

Her mother was beaten to death by hooligans in order to protect her.

Now, she is an orphan, helpless and homeless.

"Xiaoya, are you cold?" A gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Zhang Xiaoya looked up and saw a young man in tattered military uniform squatting in front of her.

The young man was Li Ergou.

He found Zhang Xiaoya according to Zhang Ling's last wish.

"Uncle, who are you?" Zhang Xiaoya asked timidly.

"I'm your father's friend." Li Ergou said gently, "He asked me to give this to you."

Li Ergou handed the blood-stained pocket watch to Zhang Xiaoya.

Zhang Xiaoya took the pocket watch and held it tightly in her hand.

She opened her pocket watch and found a small photo inside.

In the photo, a handsome man is holding a cute little girl with a happy smile on his face.

"Dad..." Zhang Xiaoya burst into tears.

Li Ergou gently hugged Zhang Xiaoya and said softly, "Xiaoya, don't be afraid. Uncle will take care of you in the future."

Zhang Xiaoya snuggled in Li Ergou's arms, feeling the long-lost warmth.

She didn't know that at this moment, Li Ergou's heart was burning with a raging fire of revenge.

He swore to avenge Zhang Ling and all his dead comrades!

......

A few years later.

Li Ergou has grown into a brave and combative Eighth Route Army soldier.

He led an elite force and attacked the Japanese invaders in an elusive manner.

His troops were known for their ruthlessness and cruelty, which made the Japanese invaders tremble in fear.

"Ergou, you are very famous now!" Old Zhao said with a smile.

Li Ergou smiled faintly: "This is all for revenge for the captain, for revenge for the brothers who died!"

"The captain's spirit in heaven must be proud of you." Old Zhao patted Li Ergou on the shoulder.

"Next, our target is..." Li Ergou pointed at a Japanese stronghold on the map, "the Japanese ammunition depot!"

"Okay! Fuck him!" Lao Zhao shouted excitedly.

Li Ergou's troops, like a tiger descending from the mountain, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese stronghold.

The sounds of explosions, gunfire, and shouts of killing once again filled the night sky...

......

Li Ergou sneaked into the Japanese ammunition depot and placed explosives.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

"Li Ergou? Is that you?"

Li Ergou turned around suddenly and saw a man in Japanese military uniform standing behind him.

He would never forget that face.

It was the Japanese officer who killed Zhang Ling!

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Li Ergou's eyes were filled with rage...

"It's you......"

The explosion was deafening, and the flames lit up half the sky. Thick smoke billowed, making it almost impossible to breathe. Li Ergou held tightly in his hand the Type 38 rifle seized from the Japanese, the barrel still burning, and a bloody smell rushed straight into his nose. He crouched down, taking cover from the ruins, and moved forward quickly.

"Gouzi, over here!" Lao Zhao's voice came from the ruins not far away.

Li Ergou looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lao Zhao hiding behind a collapsed wall, waving at him desperately.

Li Ergou rushed over and lay down beside Lao Zhao.

"Where is the commander?" Li Ergou looked around but did not see Zhang Ling.

Old Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, "Damn it, the Japs' firepower is too strong, we are scattered! The regiment commander must have gone to lure the Japs away!"

Li Ergou's heart sank suddenly. Zhang Ling was their backbone, if anything happened to him, the team would be disbanded.

"No, we have to find the captain!" Li Ergou stood up suddenly and was about to rush out.

Lao Zhao grabbed him and growled, "You're crazy! Going out now would mean you're going to die! Listen to me, withdraw first, preserve your strength, and then find a way to find the leader!"

Li Ergou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He knew that Lao Zhao was right, and rushing out now would be a waste of life.

Under the cover of night, the two men quietly slipped out of the prisoner-of-war camp.

Along the way, they encountered many fleeing prisoners of war, some of whom were in rags, some were seriously wounded, and all of them looked miserable.

Li Ergou and Lao Zhao led them, avoiding the Japanese pursuit all the way and fled towards the nearby mountains and forests.

......

Three days later, in a hidden cave, Zhang Ling finally reunited with Li Ergou, Lao Zhao and others.

"Captain, are you okay?" Li Ergou was so excited when he saw Zhang Ling that he almost cried.

Zhang Ling patted Li Ergou on the shoulder, with a tired smile on his face: "It's okay, you're lucky, the Japanese didn't succeed."

"Captain, this riot..." Old Zhao hesitated to speak.

Zhang Ling sighed and said, "I know we suffered heavy losses this time. However, we also caused considerable casualties to the Japanese, so we can vent our anger!"

"Captain, what should we do next?" asked Li Ergou.

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The devils will definitely not give up. We must move as soon as possible and find a safe place to rest."

"Captain, I have a place that is absolutely safe!" Li Ergou suddenly said.

"Oh? Where?" Zhang Ling asked.

"Black Wind Ridge!" A sly light flashed in Li Ergou's eyes. "That place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Japanese will never think that we are hiding there!"

Black Wind Ridge is located deep in the mountains, with complex terrain, rugged mountain roads and is sparsely populated.

It used to be a bandits' lair, but after the bandits were wiped out, it became a deserted place.

Zhang Ling thought about it and felt that Li Ergou’s suggestion was good.

Black Wind Ridge is indeed a good place to hide.

"Okay, let's go to Black Wind Ridge!" Zhang Ling made the final decision.

......

Black Wind Ridge, inside the cave.

"Captain, this place is really great, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's a good place!" Old Zhao exclaimed as he looked at the steep terrain around him.

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "This is indeed a good place, but we can't let our guard down. The Japanese will find this place sooner or later, so we must be fully prepared."

"Captain, you are right, we have to set up defensive fortifications quickly!" said Lao Zhao.

"Well, Lao Zhao, take your men to cut down some trees and reinforce the entrance of the cave. Ergou, take your men to patrol the surrounding area to see if there are any traces of the Japanese." Zhang Ling ordered.

"Yes, Commander!" Lao Zhao and Li Ergou took the order and left.

Zhang Ling sat alone in the cave, looking at the rolling mountains outside the cave, and fell into deep thought.

Although the riot failed, it gave him hope.
