Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

The man nodded and said, "Yes, we are brothers from the same place."

"The same place?" Zhang Ling suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

“That’s right,” the man said, “We are all…time travelers.”

Liu Ruoyun's words were like thunder, exploding in the clinic. Zhang Ling was stunned. He didn't expect that this weak woman would say such a thing. Li Yunlong was also stunned. He looked Liu Ruoyun up and down, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

"Ruoyun, what...what did you say?" Zhang Ling came back to his senses and asked in disbelief.

Liu Ruoyun's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation: "I said, I want to join you and fight the devils with you!"

Zhang Ling felt mixed emotions. He knew the cruelty of war, and he didn't want Liu Ruoyun to be involved in it, and he didn't want her to get hurt.

"Ruoyun, do you know what you are saying? War is not a joke!" Zhang Ling tried to dissuade her.

"I know," Liu Ruoyun said calmly and firmly, "I have witnessed the atrocities committed by the devils with my own eyes, and I have personally experienced the cruelty of war. I can no longer stand by and watch. I...I have to do something for my family and my country!"

There was a gleam of hatred in Liu Ruoyun's eyes, and her voice became a little trembling. Zhang Ling knew that the hatred in her heart had already penetrated deep into her bones.

Li Yunlong looked at Liu Ruoyun, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He walked up to Liu Ruoyun, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Good job! Women are as good as men! I like girls like you!"

"But...Old Li..." Zhang Ling wanted to say something but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Don't say but, Zhang Ling," Li Yunlong said, "This girl is right. We are all Chinese and have the responsibility to defend our country! Don't be so fussy, like a woman!"

Zhang Ling was silent. He knew that Li Yunlong was right. At this moment of national crisis, everyone should contribute their own strength.

"Okay," Zhang Ling sighed and said, "Since you have decided, then... follow me. I will protect you."

A smile appeared on Liu Ruoyun's face, and she looked at Zhang Ling with gratitude in her eyes.

"Thank you...Brother Ling..."

Li Yunlong looked at the two men and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good! Now we have another brave general in our team! Let's go drink and celebrate!"

......

In the next few days, Zhang Ling began to teach Liu Ruoyun some basic fighting skills. Liu Ruoyun learned quickly. Her talent was very high, and her hatred for the devils made her work extra hard in training.

Zhang Ling was both pleased and worried as he watched Liu Ruoyun's progress. He was pleased that Liu Ruoyun had finally found her direction and the meaning of her life. He was worried that the cruelty of war might destroy this weak woman.

"Ruoyun, have you...really thought it through?" One night, Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruoyun and asked.

Liu Ruoyun nodded, her eyes firm and determined: "I've made up my mind, Brother Ling. I...I don't want to be a weak woman anymore, I...I want to become strong, I want...to protect you!"

Zhang Ling's heart trembled, he looked at Liu Ruoyun, his eyes full of tenderness. He reached out and gently stroked Liu Ruoyun's cheek.

"Silly girl..."

Liu Ruoyun closed her eyes and felt Zhang Ling's tenderness. Her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.

......

A few days later, Zhang Ling and Li Yunlong led their team and set out on their journey again. This time, there was one more person in their team - Liu Ruoyun.

Liu Ruoyun was wearing a military uniform, looking heroic, with determination and resoluteness in her eyes. She knew that she was about to face a cruel war. But she was not afraid, because she knew that she had Zhang Ling, Li Yunlong, and her comrades by her side.

Together, they will fight side by side until the Japanese are completely driven out of China!

......

The team was traveling on a rugged mountain road, surrounded by dense forests that blocked out the sun. The air was filled with a damp smell that made people feel a little depressed.

"Brother Ling, where do you think the Japanese will be?" Liu Ruoyun walked to Zhang Ling and asked.

Zhang Ling looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "According to intelligence, the main force of the Japanese should be nearby. We... have to be careful."

"Hmm..." Liu Ruoyun nodded, her eyes full of vigilance.

At this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility of the forest.

"Enemy attack!" Li Yunlong shouted, "Everyone, prepare to fight!"

The team quickly dispersed and looked for cover. Zhang Ling pulled Liu Ruoyun to hide behind a huge rock.

"Ruoyun, are you okay?" Zhang Ling asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Brother Ling," Liu Ruoyun said, "How about you?"

"I'm fine too," Zhang Ling said, "Are you... scared?"

Liu Ruoyun shook her head, her eyes firm and brave: "I'm not afraid, Brother Ling. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Zhang Ling's heart felt warm, and he looked at Liu Ruoyun with tenderness in his eyes.

"Okay, let's... kill the devils together!"

The gunfire became more and more frequent, and the battle became more and more intense. Zhang Ling and Liu Ruoyun stood back to back, covering each other, and fought a desperate battle with the devils...

Suddenly, Zhang Ling felt a sharp pain in his back. He groaned and his body swayed.

"Brother Ling!" Liu Ruoyun exclaimed, and she hurriedly supported Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling's face was pale, and there was a gleaming bayonet stuck in his back...

The moment the bayonet pierced Zhang Ling's back, Liu Ruoyun felt as if her heart was also pierced. Warm blood splattered on her face, and the fishy-sweet smell made her almost nauseous.

"Brother Ling!" Liu Ruoyun screamed heartbreakingly, her voice echoing in the valley. She hugged Zhang Ling's shaky body tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Ling's consciousness gradually blurred, and he felt weak all over, as if his soul was leaving his body. He raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to touch Liu Ruoyun's cheek, but he couldn't lift it up.

"Ruoyun... don't cry..." Zhang Ling's voice was as weak as a mosquito and almost inaudible.

"I won't cry... I won't cry... Brother Ling, hold on, you will be fine..." Liu Ruoyun said with a sob, but her trembling voice betrayed her inner fear and despair.

The enemy's attack became more and more fierce, and bullets rained down like raindrops. Liu Ruoyun hugged Zhang Ling tightly and used her body to block the bullets for him.

"Damn it, you little Japs! I'm going to fight you to the death!" Seeing this, Li Yunlong roared, picked up his machine gun and fired wildly.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and finally, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, they successfully repelled the Japs.

Liu Ruoyun carried the unconscious Zhang Ling on her back and stumbled with the team as they retreated. Her strength was already exhausted, but she still gritted her teeth and walked forward step by step. She didn't dare to stop, for she was afraid that if she stopped, she would never be able to move again.

Finally, they found a relatively safe cave. Li Yunlong immediately arranged for someone to be on guard, and then together with several soldiers, he carefully carried Zhang Ling into the cave.

Liu Ruoyun knelt beside Zhang Ling, wiping the sweat from his forehead and the blood from his face. Her hands were shaking badly, but she still tried hard to control herself and not let herself cry out.

"Doctor! Where is the doctor?" Li Yunlong shouted anxiously.

A young soldier ran over carrying a medicine box. He quickly checked Zhang Ling's injuries and his face became solemn.

"The situation is not good. The bullet hit the lungs and the patient has lost too much blood. Surgery must be performed as soon as possible," said the doctor.

"Surgery? How can we perform surgery here? There isn't even any decent medical equipment!" Li Yunlong was extremely anxious.

"Even if there are no conditions, we have to create them! We can't just watch him die!" Liu Ruoyun said firmly, her eyes full of determination.

The doctor sighed. He knew Liu Ruoyun was right. In the current situation, he could only try his best. He took out some simple medical instruments from the medicine box and began to operate on Zhang Ling.

The cave was dimly lit with only a few torches. Sweat dripped down the doctor's forehead and his hands began to tremble.

Liu Ruoyun held Zhang Ling's hand tightly, her nails dug deep into the flesh, but she didn't feel any pain. Her eyes were fixed on the scalpel in the doctor's hand, and her heart was hanging with every rise and fall of the scalpel.

Time passed by, and the atmosphere in the cave became more and more tense. Finally, the doctor finished the operation, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then collapsed on the ground.

"How is it?" Liu Ruoyun asked anxiously.

"The operation was successful, but..." The doctor hesitated and said, "But his body is too weak. Whether he can survive depends on his own willpower."

Liu Ruoyun held Zhang Ling's hand tightly, and her tears flowed again.

"Brother Ling, you must wake up. You promised me that you would take me with you to kill the Japanese. You can't go back on your word..." Liu Ruoyun murmured in a low voice, her voice full of sadness and despair.

In the next few days, Liu Ruoyun stayed by Zhang Ling's side and took good care of him. She wiped his body, fed him water, and changed his medicine every day. She didn't dare to sleep, for she was afraid that Zhang Ling would leave her as soon as she fell asleep.

Li Yunlong also often came to visit Zhang Ling. Every time he came, he would bring some food and tell Zhang Ling some interesting things in the army, hoping to wake him up soon.

However, Zhang Ling was still unconscious, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and his face became paler and paler.

One night, Li Yunlong came to the cave and saw Liu Ruoyun sleeping beside Zhang Ling's bed. Her face was full of tears, and she was holding Zhang Ling's hand tightly.

Li Yunlong sighed softly, he walked to Liu Ruoyun and patted her shoulder gently.

"Ruoyun, you... go and have a rest. I'll look after Ling." Li Yunlong said.

Liu Ruoyun opened her eyes dazedly, and when she saw that it was Li Yunlong, she shook her head and said, "I'm not tired, I want to accompany Brother Ling."

Li Yunlong looked at Liu Ruoyun's haggard appearance, and his heart was filled with pity. He stretched out his hand, wanting to help her up, but found that her body was as stiff as a stone.

"Ruoyun, listen to me," Li Yunlong said in a serious tone, "Ling's condition is very dangerous now. If you continue like this, your body will collapse. You must rest. Only if you rest well can you take better care of Ling."

Liu Ruoyun's tears flowed again. She knew that Li Yunlong was right, but she just couldn't bear to leave Zhang Ling.

Suddenly, Zhang Ling's fingers moved slightly.

The cold touch of the bayonet was like the fangs of a poisonous snake, biting fiercely into Zhang Ling's back. The intense pain made his eyes go black and he almost fainted. He clenched his teeth and tried not to fall down.

"Brother Ling!" Liu Ruoyun's voice was trembling and she cried. She hugged Zhang Ling tightly, tears blurring her eyes.

The warm liquid soaked Zhang Ling's back, and he felt his vitality slipping away quickly. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Liu Ruoyun, forcing a smile on his pale face.
