Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Xu Erniu's reaction was obviously within Zhang Ling's expectations.

If it weren't for the God of War system, he wouldn't dare to say such words.

But it's different now.

He had a bird's-eye view of the entire Cangyun Ridge in his hands, with all the information and geological structure at his fingertips.

What's more, he now has an enhanced Eagle Eye similar to that of a sharpshooter.

Even with the golden finger, he still doesn't dare to think about annihilating the Sakata Regiment. Then he shouldn't be a battalion commander anymore. He might as well find a job farming in the countryside.

Moreover, there is a bigger reason why Zhang Ling took this risk.

That means Zhang Ling, the battalion commander of the 772rd Battalion, is the only one left in the 3nd Regiment.

In other words.

If in this battle he only broke through with the remaining 200 soldiers of the 772nd Regiment.

Brigade Commander Chen will definitely praise him, but this is the position of the commander of the 772nd Regiment.

It may be his, or it may not be his.

After all, the credit book is a little thin.

But if Zhang Ling’s plan succeeded.

He said he was the deputy leader of 772, who the hell dares to be the leader?

If Brigade Commander Chen doesn't agree, Zhang Ling will have a fucking fight with him!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling looked at everyone with a relaxed expression: "You guys are just useless."

"The Japanese scared me to death."

"How will you know if it works if you don't try?"

"How can you say you're defeated before you even start the battle?"

Soldiers: "Captain, please stop keeping us in suspense. Tell me, how are we going to fight?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander, you are now the backbone of our 772nd Regiment. We will fight the way you say. The regiment commander and the political commissar have both died, and we must avenge them."

"That's right, we can't be a coward and fight the Japanese!"

He saw that everyone had made up their minds to listen to him and were of one mind.

Zhang Ling now felt more confident.

No matter how good a plan is, it must be implemented with unity, otherwise it will be greatly reduced.

Now is a good time to give it a try as we are still motivated to fight.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling looked at everyone and said, "This Sakata Brigade is a big piece of fat meat for us."

"But I also know that the Sakata Unit now has more than 4000 people, and we only have these 200 people left."

"They have guns, cannons, and ammunition, but what about us? Nothing. All we have left is this little gun, and a mortar."

"As the elite force of the Japanese devils, the Sakata Regiment has no doubts about its combat effectiveness and has more combat experience than us. If we really fight hard, we will definitely suffer a great loss."

"On the surface, we don't have any advantages. We are lucky to be able to break through. It's impossible to completely wipe out the Sakata Brigade."

"But I, Zhang Ling, am the commander of the 3rd Battalion, and I am not a rookie. What I say is naturally well thought out."

"I will never do anything that I am not sure of. We will do business that makes money, but we will never do business that loses money."

"Since the Sakata regiment is an elite force, we should fight them as elites."

"Beat them hard, kill them all. This will also be an explanation to the regiment commander and political commissar in heaven."

"In short, the 772nd Regiment will not be killed here. Just trust me."

Although Zhang Ling's predecessor was not outstanding in his daily life, he was still very reliable in his actions.

Therefore, now that Zhang Ling said this, out of trust in his predecessor, everyone still chose to believe him.

Zhang Ling glanced at everyone and then said, "Li Dazhuang has already brought people to guard the fork in the road ahead."

"The devils will definitely not be able to come up for a while, so I will make it short and tell you my plan."

"You must strictly follow orders, even if it costs you your life. Do you understand?"

Xu Erniu and the others nodded: "Captain, you speak, we listen."

Zhang Ling: "My plan is very simple. It only requires two mortar shells. And there is an advantage to my battle plan."

"Kill them and don't bury them. We can kill them all at once, and we don't have to worry about being chased by the Japanese."

If the coal mine gas in Cangyunling explodes, landslides will occur on the entire mountain and valley.

The Sakata Corps had no third option except being blown away or buried alive.

This plan... Nice!

Moreover, the benefit of doing so is to avoid epidemics caused by large numbers of corpses.

When Xu Erniu and the others heard Zhang Ling's words, they were stunned: "Battalion... Battalion Commander... Just two mortar shells will do?"

"Captain, what exactly is your battle plan? Please tell me quickly."

Zhang Ling did not keep the secret any longer and said directly: "Just now when I was collecting weapons and ammunition, I found that Cangyun Ridge is a huge coal mine."

"Especially the position of the Sakata regiment, there is a lot of coal underneath."

"Wherever there is coal, there is gas. Once the gas meets an open flame, it will explode!"

"If our artillery was powerful, we would have detonated the Japanese positions long ago."

"Now we just need to detonate the coal mine gas under the Japanese positions, which will cause landslides and cracks in the ground."

"Then the entire Cangyun Ridge will be hit by a landslide, and the Japanese will either be blown away by the gas explosion or buried alive by the landslide."

"Um... Captain, I, Xu Erniu, have never been to school and am a rough man. What do you mean by gas and landslides?"

Zhang Ling wanted to slap himself twice.

The main reason was that he was too professional. Most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of him had graduated from literacy classes. It was indeed somewhat difficult for them to know about gas and landslides.

Zhang Ling: "Anyway, don't worry about it. Remember, if we want our plan to succeed, we have to rely on our last few mortar shells."

The entire 772nd Regiment had a total of five mortars and fifty rounds of artillery shells.

It can be said that they are a group of local tyrants among the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi.

Li Yunlong's new regiment only has one.

As Li Yunlong's mother's home, naturally these five mortars have always been on Li Yunlong's mind.

So much so that when Blind Cheng was still alive, he scolded Li Yunlong's married daughters for not thinking of bringing good things to her parents' home, but instead thinking of bringing things from her parents' home to the New 1st Regiment.

shameless!

Of course, Blind Cheng only dared to say these words when the regiment was in a meeting and a few regiment cadres were present. After all, it was Li Yunlong who taught Blind Cheng how to shoot.

Now, after a bloody battle, the 772nd Regiment has only one mortar left out of its five.

The other four doors were blown up.

There were only four shells left.

It is still very difficult to complete the task.

Based on the bird's-eye view of Cangyun Ridge, Zhang Ling knew that there was a relatively weak hillside not far from the Sakata Brigade's position.

If the two shells could hit that place, they could directly blow through the soil covering the outside of the coal mine.

This will eventually trigger a gas explosion and complete the plan.
