Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling's face was gloomy, he knew he had been ambushed.

"Damn it! I was fooled by this woman!" Wang Mazi cursed.

"Break through!" Zhang Ling made a prompt decision.

The three rushed out of the inn and engaged in a fierce gun battle with the Japanese.

However, the devils were well prepared, with large numbers and fierce firepower. Zhang Ling and the other two were soon in trouble.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly appeared beside the Japanese officer, pointed at Zhang Ling and said, "Taijun, it's him! Kill him!"

Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruyan, his eyes full of anger and disappointment. He never thought that he would be betrayed by a woman!

"You stinky bitch!" Wang Mazi roared and rushed towards Liu Ruyan.

However, before he could get close to Liu Ruyan, he was hit by a Japanese bullet and fell in a pool of blood.

"Wang Mazi!" Zhang Ling was heartbroken.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind him...

"Captain, are you sure this thing will work? Why do I feel so uneasy?" Xu Erniu scratched his head and asked in a muffled voice. Two shells, the hope of the entire regiment, weighed on him, making him feel that the burden on his shoulders was heavier than a millstone.

Zhang Ling rolled his eyes at him in annoyance: "You know shit, kid! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice! Hurry up, stop dilly-dallying like a woman!" He actually had no idea in his heart, because this plan was pieced together by him based on some folk remedies from later generations combined with existing conditions. Whether it would succeed or not depended entirely on God's will.

"Okay!" Xu Erniu responded, took a deep breath, held his breath, adjusted the angle of the mortar, and aimed at the hillside where the Japanese command headquarters was located.

"Fire the first shot!" With Xu Erniu's shout, the shell pierced the sky with a whistling sound and landed accurately on the hillside.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, a cloud of thick smoke rose from the hillside, and gravel and soil splashed everywhere.

"Second shot, fire!" Xu Erniu fired without any hesitation, and another shell hit the same position accurately again.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, this time with a more powerful force. A huge crater appeared on the hillside, with thick smoke billowing, blocking out the sky.

"Retreat!" Zhang Ling shouted, and quickly evacuated the position with Xu Erniu, Li Dazhuang and others.

At the same time, inside the Japanese command center, Sakata Nobutsu and his adjutant were proudly discussing how to divide the spoils of the 772nd Regiment, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"boom!"

When the first explosion was heard, Sakata Nobutsu thought it was the Eighth Route Army's last struggle and smiled indifferently: "It seems that these Chinese are really tenacious. They are still resisting at this time."

"boom!"

When the second explosion came, the smile on Sakata Nobutsu's face froze instantly. This time the explosion was too close to them, shaking the entire command center violently.

"What's going on? Where does the shelling come from?" Sakata Nobutsu's face changed drastically and he asked in horror.

Before the adjutant could answer, a series of screams like ghosts and wolves howling were heard outside the command center.

"Oh no! Our headquarters was attacked!" the adjutant shouted in horror.

Only then did Nobutsu Sakata realize the seriousness of the problem. He stumbled out of the command center, and the scene before him made him bloodshot.

There was thick smoke billowing on the hillside, and broken limbs and the bodies of Japanese soldiers that had been blown beyond recognition were everywhere. Screams and wails were heard one after another, and the entire command center had turned into a living hell.

"Baga! What the hell is going on?" Sakata Nobutsu roared hysterically.

The adjutant said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, we have been ambushed by the Eighth Route Army! Their artillery fire is too fierce, we can't resist it at all!"

"Baga! Impossible! How could the Eighth Route Army have such powerful firepower?" Sakata Nobutsu couldn't believe his eyes.

He never dreamed that his carefully planned strategy of catching a turtle in a jar would actually become his own burial place.

And at this moment, something even more unexpected happened.

The remnants of the 772nd Regiment, which had been completely routed, suddenly rushed out from all directions as if they were injected with chicken blood, and launched a fierce counterattack against the remnants of the Sakata Regiment.

"Kill! Avenge our dead brothers!"

"Charge! Kill all these damn devils!"

The soldiers of the 772nd Regiment were like tigers descending from the mountains, unstoppable and slaughtered the remaining Japanese troops, causing them to flee in disarray.

Sakata Nobutsu was completely stunned by the sudden change in front of him. He couldn't understand why the 772nd Regiment, which had already been defeated, suddenly burst out with such a strong fighting power.

"Colonel, let's retreat quickly! It will be too late if we don't retreat now!" the adjutant shouted in horror.

Nobutsu Sakata suddenly woke up from his dream. He looked around in horror and found that he was surrounded by soldiers from the 772nd Regiment.

"Baga! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Sakata Nobutsu shouted in despair.

However, it was too late.

The soldiers of the 772nd Regiment came like a tide, drowning Sakata Nobutsu and his remaining troops.

Before his death, Nobutsu Sakata finally understood one thing: he was not ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, but fell into a trap set by Zhang Ling.

Using two artillery shells, Zhang Ling not only destroyed the Sakata Regiment's headquarters, but more importantly, he completely broke Sakata Nobutsu's psychological defenses, causing him to fall into despair and panic.

And this is Zhang Ling’s real purpose.

......

After the battle, Zhang Ling stood on the battlefield strewn with corpses, looking at the bodies of the Japanese devils all over the ground. He did not feel the slightest joy in his heart, but instead felt an inexplicable emptiness.

"Battalion Commander, we won! We defeated the Sakata Regiment!" Xu Erniu ran over excitedly and shouted excitedly.

Zhang Ling looked at him and forced a smile: "Yes, we won."

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance...

"Battalion Commander, please believe me for once! There must be something wrong with this hillside! I have a keen nose!" Xu Erniu patted his chest with a serious look on his face, his nostrils twitching exaggeratedly twice, as if he could really smell something.

Zhang Ling rolled his eyes. This fool was foolish again. "You have a good nose? Why didn't you smell that your wife was with the neighbor Lao Wang..." Zhang Ling swallowed the words back. In this imaginary era, where did Lao Wang come from? He was almost exposed!

"Who's next door?" Xu Erniu widened his eyes with curiosity.

"Next door... Old Li next door! Yes, Old Li's pigs ran into our field to steal vegetables! Why didn't you smell it?!" Zhang Ling made up a story and cursed himself in his heart for almost letting the cat out of the bag.

"Pig? That thing has such a strong smell that it covers up all the other smells!" Xu Erniu looked suddenly enlightened, completely unaware that he had been fooled.

Zhang Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, "Hurry up, fire two shots! Retreat after you're done! Don't waste time!"

Xu Erniu said no more and quickly adjusted the angle of the mortar and aimed at the hillside.

"First shot!" Xu Erniu roared and pulled the fuse.

"Swish--" the shell cut through the air and flew towards the hillside with a whistling sound.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a cloud of thick smoke rose from the hillside.

"Second shot!" Xu Erniu did not give the Japanese any time to react. He quickly loaded the second shell and pulled the fuse again.

"Swish-boom!" Another loud noise was heard, and the shell hit the same position accurately.

After two shells were fired, the hillside was already in ruins, with thick smoke and flying debris.

"Retreat!" Zhang Ling gave an order and quickly evacuated the position with Xu Erniu and the remaining soldiers.

Shortly after they evacuated, a series of screams like ghosts and wolves howling suddenly came from halfway up the hillside.

"What's going on? What happened?" Nobutsu Sakata rushed out of the command center with a panicked look on his face.

"Report to the colonel! Halfway up the hill...halfway up the hill has collapsed!" A Japanese soldier came crawling over, covered in dirt and looking terrified.

"What? It collapsed? How could it collapse?" Nobutsu Sakata was confused. How could this hillside collapse suddenly?

At this time, the adjutant also ran over, "Colonel! It's bad! The ammunition depot on the hillside... is also buried!"

"Baka!" Sakata Nobutsu was so angry that he kicked over the table next to him. "What the hell is going on? Is there an earthquake?"

However, before he could figure out the situation, another earth-shattering noise was heard halfway up the hill.

"boom!"

This time, it was not the sound of a shell exploding, but the sound of an entire mountain collapsing.

It turned out that when Zhang Ling was observing the terrain before, he found that the Japanese ammunition depot was built halfway up the hill, and the geological structure of the hill was very unstable, and it would easily collapse with just the slightest external force.

So he thought of using mortars to bombard the hillside, causing a landslide and burying the Japanese ammunition depot and headquarters.

I have to say, this is definitely a crazy and bold plan.

But what’s even crazier is that this plan actually worked!

The two shells not only destroyed the Japanese ammunition depot, but also triggered a landslide, razing the entire hillside to the ground.

Nobutsu Sakata, his command center, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were all buried alive under the mountain.

......

At the position of the 772nd Regiment, Zhang Ling and others were nervously waiting for news.

"Battalion Commander, do you think...can our plan succeed?" Xu Erniu asked nervously.

"Whether it will succeed or not depends on whether God gives him face." Zhang Ling took a deep breath, his eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, a deafening noise suddenly came from the distance.

"boom!"

Zhang Ling, Xu Erniu and others looked up and saw dust flying on the hillside in the distance and the mountain collapsing, like the end of the world.

"It's done!" Zhang Ling clenched his fists excitedly, an excited smile appearing on his face.

Xu Erniu and others also cheered, they knew that they had succeeded!

They wiped out the Sakata Regiment with two artillery shells!

However, just as they were cheering, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from a distance.
