Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling and Lao Hu leaned against a big tree, panting, their bodies soaked with sweat.

"Damn, I'm so lucky!" Old Hu said with lingering fear.

Zhang Ling didn't say anything. His mind kept recalling the experimental records he saw in the basement and what the islander said.

"Superpower potion... side effects... monsters..."

These words swirled in his mind, making him feel uneasy.

"Old Hu," Zhang Ling suddenly said, "Do you believe that there are really super powers in this world?"

Old Hu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Brother Ling, are you scared silly? There is no such thing as superpowers in this world. They are all made up by the little island devils!"

Zhang Ling did not refute, and he did not know how to explain it. He always felt that there seemed to be some connection between this rebirth and the so-called "superpower potion".

"No matter what, we have to find out the purpose of Unit 731 first," Zhang Ling said solemnly, "and...what exactly is that superpower potion..."

Lao Hu nodded, "Brother Ling, whatever you say, I'll do!"

The two rested for a while, and then continued to walk deeper into the woods. They didn't know where they were going, nor what would happen in the future, but they knew that they had to survive, for revenge, and to uncover the secrets of Unit 731...

The sky gradually darkened and a thin layer of mist filled the woods, making them look particularly eerie.

Suddenly, Zhang Ling stopped. He felt as if something in front was watching them.

"What's wrong, Brother Ling?" asked Lao Hu.

Zhang Ling did not answer. He slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist and looked ahead vigilantly.

In the mist, a vague figure slowly emerged, becoming clearer and clearer...

It was a... humanoid creature... but it looked extremely strange...

Its skin was a certain color, and its body was covered with pustules and festering wounds. Its limbs were twisted and deformed, as if it were a demon crawling out of hell...

What's even scarier is that its eyes... flashed a strange red light...

"What the hell is this thing..." Old Hu was so scared that his face turned pale and his voice trembled.

Zhang Ling also felt a chill down his spine. He clenched his dagger tightly, ready for battle.

The monster slowly walked towards them, making a low roar that seemed to come from the depths of hell...

"Captain, where is the weak spot you mentioned? Why can't I see it?" Li Dazhuang scratched his head and asked in confusion. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Zhang Ling's finger, but saw nothing except rolling mountains and densely packed Japanese tents.

"Your eyesight is not very good!" Zhang Ling snatched the telescope from Li Dazhuang's hand, observed carefully for a moment, pointed to an inconspicuous hillside and said, "See that bare hill? Right next to it, there is a slightly sunken area. That is the lifeblood of the Sakata Brigade!"

Li Dazhuang took the telescope and observed carefully again, and finally saw the "weak spot" that Zhang Ling mentioned. He took a breath and exclaimed: "Captain, your eyes are too sharp! You can see this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly set up the mortar and aim at that position!" Zhang Ling ordered sternly, "Remember, there are only four shells, and every one of them must be accurate! If we miss, we're really done!"

Li Dazhuang did not dare to neglect it, and quickly asked the gunners to set up the only remaining mortar, carefully adjusting the angle and direction. While aiming, he wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, muttering to himself: "God bless, I must hit it!"

Zhang Ling paced back and forth, waiting anxiously. He knew that the success or failure of this plan was related to the survival of the entire 772nd Regiment. If they succeeded, they could avenge their previous humiliation and avenge Captain Cheng; if they failed, they could only choose to break out, and their lives would be uncertain.

"Battalion Commander, get ready!" Li Dazhuang's voice trembled slightly.

"Okay!" Zhang Ling took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Fire!"

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the first shell whizzed out, cut through the sky and headed straight for the target.

Everyone held their breath and stared nervously at the trajectory of the shell.

The shell landed accurately in the target area, creating a huge cloud of smoke.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but exclaim.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Immediately afterwards, the remaining three shells were fired one after another and all hit the target.

The explosion was deafening, and the valley echoed with a rumble.

Zhang Ling quickly picked up the telescope to observe the results of the battle. He saw that the target area had been bombed into a mess, with earth and rocks flying and thick smoke billowing.

"It's done!" Zhang Ling waved his fist excitedly, "We succeeded!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a more violent explosion suddenly came from the distance.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and a powerful gust of wind swept over, knocking Zhang Ling and others to the ground.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling struggled to get up and asked in confusion.

"Battalion commander, look!" Xu Erniu shouted in horror, pointing into the distance.

Zhang Ling looked in the direction of Xu Erniu's finger and saw a huge mushroom cloud rising in the direction of the Sakata Regiment's position, covering the sky and the sun.

The power of the explosion was far beyond Zhang Ling's expectations, and the entire Cangyun Ridge seemed to be shaking.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have caused a big disaster.

He originally only wanted to blow up the coal mine near the Sakata Regiment's position, causing a gas explosion and thus destroying the Sakata Regiment.

But he never expected that the power of the explosion would be so great that it not only destroyed the Sakata Regiment's position, but also triggered a chain reaction, leading to a larger-scale explosion.

He even wondered if he had blown up something that shouldn't have.

"Captain, let's retreat!" Xu Erniu urged anxiously, "It's too dangerous here!"

Zhang Ling then came to his senses and hurriedly led the remaining soldiers to break out in the direction of Yujialing.

However, they had not run far when they were intercepted by a Japanese army.

This Japanese army was large in number and well-equipped, and it was obvious that they came well prepared.

"It's over!" Zhang Ling cried out in his heart.

He originally thought that the Sakata Corps had been wiped out and they could break out safely.

But he didn't expect that there were other Japanese troops lying in ambush nearby.

It seems that they really can't escape this time.

At this moment, a Japanese officer wearing a black military uniform and a steel helmet, riding a tall horse, walked out of the Japanese army.

This Japanese officer was tall and had a ferocious face, holding a sword that was shining coldly in his hand.

He said in fluent Chinese: "You have been surrounded! Put down your weapons and surrender!"

Zhang Ling looked at the Japanese officer in front of him and his heart was filled with despair.

He knew that he had reached his limit.

Suddenly, he felt someone push him gently from behind.

"Battalion Commander, hurry up!" A familiar voice sounded in his ears.

Zhang Ling looked back and saw that it was Li Dazhuang.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ling asked in confusion.

"Battalion Commander, you lead your brothers to break out, and I will cover you!" Li Dazhuang said firmly.

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

"Captain, listen to me," Li Dazhuang grabbed Zhang Ling's arm and said anxiously, "I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have no ties or cares, so it wouldn't be a pity if I died. But you are still young and have a bright future. You can't die here!"

After Li Dazhuang finished speaking, he suddenly pushed Zhang Ling out.

"Go!" he shouted.

Then, he turned around resolutely and rushed towards the Japanese troops...

"Captain, where is the weak spot you mentioned? Why can't I see it?" Li Dazhuang scratched his head and asked in confusion. He carried the mortar like a fire stick, not realizing its weight.

Zhang Ling snatched the mortar from his hand and stroked the gun body with heartache. This is a treasure, a treasure! "Be gentle, kid! This thing is more precious than your wife!" He glared at Li Dazhuang unhappily, then pointed at a seemingly inconspicuous earth slope in the distance, "See that? That's it! There's nothing underneath the earth slope. The devils piled up the earth to cover the entrance to the coal mine. Two shots will definitely blow it upside down!"

Xu Erniu came over, squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, still looking confused, "Battalion Commander, why do I see no difference from other places? If we miss the target, it will be a waste of shells."

Zhang Ling rolled his eyes, "You know shit! This is called professionalism! When I was... ahem, anyway, I have a clear view!" He almost let the cat out of the bag, but luckily he braked in time. If people knew that he had a bird's-eye view of Cang Yunling in his mind, wouldn't they slice him up and study him?

He adjusted the angle of the mortar, took a deep breath, and said to himself: System, give me a cheat! Of course, the system did not respond to him. After all, this was just his wishful thinking.

"Boom!" The first shell cut through the sky with a sharp whistling sound and landed accurately on the slope.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, dust flew up and a big hole was blown in the slope.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Ling waved his fist excitedly, and then loaded the second shell, "Another one!"

"Boom!" The second shell followed closely and hit the target again.

This time the explosion was even more violent, and the entire slope collapsed, revealing the dark entrance to the mine. A pungent smell of gas drifted over with the wind.

"It's done!" Zhang Ling shouted excitedly, "Brothers, retreat!"

The soldiers of the 772nd Regiment could no longer wait. Upon hearing Zhang Ling's order, they rushed towards the designated safe trenches.

At this moment, something unusual was discovered at the Sakata Regiment's position.

"What's going on? What happened over there?" asked Nobutsu Sakata with a gloomy face.

"Report to the regiment commander, it seems that the slope has collapsed!" a Japanese officer shouted in panic.

"Damn it! Go check it out!" Nobutsu Sakata roared.

Before the Japanese could react, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the mine.

"Boom!"

The earth shook, flames shot up into the sky, and the entire Cangyun Ridge seemed to tremble.

The violent explosion triggered a chain reaction, detonating the gas in the mine and producing a huge shock wave that instantly razed the Sakata Regiment's position to the ground.

The Japanese soldiers cried for their parents and fled everywhere, but there was nowhere to escape.

The shock wave and flying debris generated by the explosion engulfed them, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Zhang Ling hid in a safe trench, looking at the hell-like scene before him, without a single ripple in his heart.

This is war, either you die or I die.

He is not a saint and will not show any mercy to his enemies.

He only knew that he had to avenge Blind Cheng and his brothers in the 772nd Regiment!

The explosion lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding.

The entire Cangyun Ridge was shrouded in thick smoke and dust, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood.

Zhang Ling climbed out of the trench and looked at the devastated battlefield with mixed feelings.
