Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling and others then breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the cave.

However, before they had time to be happy, they saw a larger group of Japanese soldiers appearing in the distance.

This Japanese army had several hundred people, and they were well-equipped and had strong firepower.

Seeing this group of Japanese devils, Zhang Ling and others' faces suddenly turned pale.

"It's over, we are surrounded!" Xu Erniu said in despair.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth, he knew that this time it was really over.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a plane dropped from the sky and launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese troops.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosion of the bomb was deafening, and the Japanese troops were blown to pieces.

Zhang Ling and others were immediately cheered up when they saw this.

"It's our plane!" Li Dazhuang shouted excitedly.

The emergence of airplanes completely reversed the situation of the war.

Under the cover of the aircraft, Zhang Ling and others successfully broke through and escaped the Japanese encirclement.

However, just as they were escaping, Zhang Ling suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

He looked back and saw a Japanese officer stabbing at him with a bayonet.

"Pfft!"

The bayonet pierced Zhang Ling's body and blood gushed out.

Zhang Ling fell to the ground, his consciousness gradually blurred...

In the dim light, he seemed to see a familiar figure running towards him...

"If we hit it," Zhang Ling paused, a wicked smile on his face, "we'll be rich!"

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang looked at each other, totally confused as to what Zhang Ling was up to. How could they make any fortune with just two shells? Even if they killed a few Japanese soldiers, it wouldn't be considered a fortune, right?

Zhang Ling didn't explain any further, but urged Xu Erniu to fire quickly.

Xu Erniu adjusted the angle of the mortar, took a deep breath, and lit the fuse.

"call out--"

The first shell cut through the sky with a sharp whistle and landed accurately on the Japanese position halfway up the hill.

"boom!"

The violent explosion was deafening, with dust flying and debris scattering everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, the second shell whizzed out and hit the same position accurately again.

The two shells fell almost in the same crater, and the combined power of the explosions produced an even more terrifying shock wave.

"What's going on? Where did the shells come from?" Sakata Nobutsu's wild laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked towards the hillside in horror.

Before the smoke cleared, he saw a huge pit appearing halfway up the hill. The surrounding Japanese soldiers were blown into a bloody mess, with broken limbs scattered all over the ground.

"Damn it! The Eighth Route Army still has artillery shells?" Sakata Nobutsu roared in disbelief.

He never expected that after such a fierce battle, the Eighth Route Army would be able to use mortars to fight back.

What shocked him even more was that the two shells landed so accurately that they hit directly near his headquarters.

"Colonel, we have to move quickly!" the adjutant shouted in panic.

"Transfer? Where to?" Sakata Nobutsu roared, "The entire hilltop is surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. Where can we transfer to?"

Just then, the third shell whizzed in.

"boom!"

The shell did not fall halfway up the hill, but instead landed behind the Sakata Regiment, destroying their ammunition depot.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As a result of the chain reaction, the ammunition depot exploded violently, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?" Nobutsu Sakata completely collapsed. He felt like he was being played around by fate.

I thought I had victory in my grasp, but I didn't expect to be in a desperate situation in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Zhang Ling had already evacuated the position with Xu Erniu, Li Dazhuang and others.

"Battalion Commander, you are amazing!" Xu Erniu shouted excitedly, "With just two shells, you destroyed the enemy's headquarters and blew up their ammunition depot!"

"This is not my credit," Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously, "It's God who is helping us!"

Li Dazhuang scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Battalion Commander, how do you know where the Japanese ammunition depot is?"

Zhang Ling smiled pretentiously and said, "The secret cannot be revealed!"

In fact, he certainly did not rely on any divine secrets, but on the prompts from the God of War system.

When he fired the first two shells, the system prompted him that the Japanese ammunition depot was not far behind him.

So, he asked Xu Erniu to leave two shells in order to blow up the Japanese ammunition depot.

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

"Of course we should pursue the victory!" A cold light flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes. "The enemy's command system has been disrupted, and the ammunition depot has been blown up. This is a good opportunity for us to counterattack!"

"kill!"

Zhang Ling gave an order and led the remaining soldiers, rushing towards the Japanese position like a tiger descending from the mountain.

……

At the same time, in faraway Nanjing, in a luxurious villa.

A man in military uniform was sitting on the sofa, holding a telegram in his hand with a gloomy face.

"The Sakata Division was completely wiped out?"

The man stood up suddenly and threw the telegram in his hand to the ground.

"Baga! What a bunch of rubbish!"

He was the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, General Okamura Yasuji.

The Sakata Regiment is one of his most elite troops and also a trump card in his hand.

He originally thought that the Sakata Regiment could easily wipe out the 772nd Regiment, but he did not expect that the entire army would be wiped out.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

"Commander, according to news from the front line, the commander of the 772nd Regiment is a young man named Zhang Ling." A staff officer reported cautiously.

"Zhang Ling?" Okamura Neiji narrowed his eyes. "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere..."

He tried hard to recall, and suddenly, a picture flashed through his mind.

It was a few months ago, at a military meeting, he had met a young man, also named Zhang Ling.

At that time, he also admired the young man's military talents.

"Could it be him?" Neiji Okamura was shocked. "Could he have grown to this point?"

He realized that he might have underestimated the young man's ability.

"Investigate Zhang Ling's background immediately!" Okamura Neiji ordered, "I want to know everything about him!"

……

Zhang Ling led his soldiers to charge forward with unstoppable force.

The Japanese command system was disrupted, their ammunition depots were destroyed, their morale was low, and they were completely unable to resist.

They were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, at the mercy of Zhang Ling and others.

The battle lasted less than an hour and the Japanese were completely defeated.

Nobutsu Sakata was shot to death in the chaos, and the rest of the Japanese were either shot dead or captured.

The 772nd Regiment achieved the final victory!

However, after the battle, Zhang Ling did not feel the slightest joy.

The scenes he had seen in the system space before kept appearing in his mind.

That mysterious roulette wheel and those strange rewards on it.

He had a feeling that his journey through time and space had just begun...

"If we hit it, the Sakata Regiment's headquarters will be blown up to the sky!" Zhang Ling's tone contained a hint of crazy excitement.

Xu Erniu scratched his head, still not quite understanding what the battalion commander meant, but military orders were as firm as mountains, so he immediately adjusted the angle of the mortar and aimed at the hillside.

"boom!"

The first shell cut through the sky with a sharp whistling sound and landed accurately on the hillside.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the second shell followed and hit the same location again.

After two loud bangs, two huge clouds of smoke rose from the hillside, and mud and gravel flew everywhere, as if it was the end of the world.

"Retreat!" Zhang Ling yelled and ran back first.

Xu Erniu, Li Dazhuang and others followed closely and quickly evacuated their positions.

They had not run far when they heard a deafening explosion behind them.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The explosion lasted for a long time and was deafening, as if the whole mountain was shaking.

Zhang Ling and others looked back and saw flames shooting up into the sky and thick smoke billowing on the hillside, as spectacular as a volcanic eruption.

"Done!" Zhang Ling waved his fist excitedly.

He made the right bet!

The Sakata Regiment’s headquarters is in the cave halfway up the hill!

He had observed through a telescope before and found that the terrain halfway up the hill was somewhat peculiar, and there seemed to be a hidden cave entrance.

He guessed that the Sakata Regiment would most likely set up its headquarters there. After all, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it had a wide view that overlooked the entire battlefield.

So he decided to take a risk and bombarded the hillside with two mortars in an attempt to destroy the Sakata Regiment's headquarters.

Now it seems that his plan was successful!

……

Inside the Sakata Brigade Headquarters.

Nobutsu Sakata and his adjutant were chatting and laughing, unaware of the approaching danger.

"Colonel, I heard that the Eighth Route Army has a kind of homemade bomb that is extremely powerful and can blow up our tanks..." the adjutant said with some concern.

"A homemade bomb? Humph, it's just a trifle, nothing to be afraid of." Nobutsu Sakata waved his hand dismissively.

"Our tanks are the most advanced weapons in the empire. How can they be destroyed by a mere homemade bomb?"

"Besides, even if they have homemade bombs, what can they do? They have no chance of getting close to our tanks."

Just then, the first shell landed at the entrance of the cave.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, half of the cave entrance collapsed.

"What's going on?" Sakata Nobutsu's face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!" the adjutant shouted in horror.

"Hurry, go and see what happened!" Sakata Nobutsu ordered hurriedly.

Before the adjutant could go out to check the situation, the second shell fell.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the entrance to the cave was completely blown down. A large amount of soil and rubble poured down, blocking the entire entrance to the cave tightly.

"what……"

There was chaos in the command center and the Japanese soldiers fled in panic.

Nobutsu Sakata and his adjutant were also buried under the rubble.

……

After the explosion, the entire battlefield fell silent.

The soldiers of the 772nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were stunned. They didn't know what was going on.

"Battalion Commander, you...you blew up the Japanese headquarters?" Xu Erniu asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Zhang Ling nodded, a smug smile on his face.

"Not only did I blow up their headquarters, I also buried that old devil Sakata Nobutsu alive!"

"Awesome! Battalion Commander, you are so awesome!" Xu Erniu shouted excitedly.
