Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

At this moment, Zhang Ling suddenly saw a small cave not far ahead. He had an idea and rolled into the cave.

The tanks chased to the entrance of the cave, but were unable to enter due to its large size, so they could only fire continuously from outside.

"Boom boom boom..." The cave was filled with dust and rubble. Zhang Ling clung to the cave wall, praying in his heart that the cave could hold up.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise and the whole cave shook violently.

"Not good!" Zhang Ling cried in his heart. He knew that the cave was about to collapse.

At the critical moment, Zhang Ling felt a huge force pulling him back. Before he could react, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

When Zhang Ling woke up again, he found himself lying in a strange room. The room was small and simply furnished, with only a bed, a table and a chair.

"Where is this?" Zhang Ling rubbed his still dizzy head and struggled to sit up.

At this moment, the door opened and a young woman in a kimono walked in. The woman had a pretty face and a graceful figure, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand.

"Are you awake?" The woman showed a surprised smile on her face when she saw Zhang Ling wake up.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Zhang Ling looked at the woman warily and asked.

"I'm Asada Miko, this is..." The woman paused, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, "This is the headquarters of the Sakata Brigade."

Zhang Ling's eyes swept over the crowd, with a hint of cunning: "You say, our 772nd Regiment is a team that obeys orders?"

Xu Erniu was startled, then he grinned, revealing a big white tooth with half of his front teeth missing: "Battalion Commander, what you said is true. Our 772nd Regiment is a well-known 'Glorious Regiment'! Obey orders? That depends on whose order it is! If it's the boss's order, we will definitely obey! But if..." He winked and lowered his voice, "If it's the order of some 'superior' who can only talk on paper, hehe..."

The others also laughed along, with a hint of amusement on their faces.

Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction: "That's good! My plan is a little... well, unconventional. So, let's just treat it as, 'When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the king'!"

Everyone got even more excited when they heard this. Unconventional? That's interesting! The 772nd Regiment was best at playing unconventionally!

"Battalion Commander, just speak frankly! The brothers are waiting for your orders!" a young soldier shouted impatiently.

Zhang Ling didn't keep the secret any longer. He pointed to an inconspicuous hill next to the Sakata Regiment's position on the map and said, "See this? Aim our two shells here! Bomb it hard!"

Everyone looked in the direction Zhang Ling pointed, all a little confused. This small hill looked ordinary, why blow it up?

"Battalion commander, what's the point of...blowing up here?" Xu Erniu scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Don't worry about it! Just do as I say!" Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, after the explosion, just wait and see!"

Although everyone was confused, they had an inexplicable trust in Zhang Ling. After all, Zhang Ling had led them and used incredible tactics to escape danger time and time again, creating miracles.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their voices full of fighting spirit.

The angle of the only remaining mortar was quickly adjusted, and the gunner held his breath and aimed at the target.

"Prepare—release!"

"boom!"

The first shell whizzed out and landed accurately on the hillside.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the second shell followed and hit the target again.

After two loud bangs, dust flew up on the hillside and gravel scattered everywhere.

However, apart from these, there seems to be no other changes.

"Battalion commander, there is... no movement?" Xu Erniu asked somewhat disappointedly.

Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously, pointed at the position of the Sakata regiment and said, "Don't worry, the best is yet to come!"

Everyone looked at the Sakata Regiment's position in confusion, only to see that it was still calm there. The Japs didn't seem to be affected at all and were still patrolling leisurely.

Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly, a thick black smoke gushed out from the center of the Sakata Regiment's position, followed by a deafening roar, and the entire earth began to shake violently!

"boom!"

The power of the explosion was so great, as if a giant beast sleeping deep underground suddenly woke up and let out an angry roar!

The Sakata Regiment's position was instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, countless Japanese soldiers were blown into the sky, their limbs and arms flew everywhere, and their screams resounded through the sky!

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

The entire Cangyun Ridge began to shake violently, the mountain began to collapse, and huge rocks rolled down from the mountain and smashed towards the position of the Sakata Regiment!

"The mountain...the mountain collapsed!" a soldier shouted in horror.

That’s right, a landslide!

Zhang Ling's plan was successful! He used mortar shells to detonate the coal mine gas under Cangyunling, triggering a large-scale landslide!

The position of the Sakata Regiment was completely swallowed up by the landslide, and countless Japanese soldiers were buried alive underground, without even a chance of escape!

The scene before my eyes was like hell on earth, terrifying.

Xu Erniu and others were stunned and completely stunned by the scene before them.

They could never have imagined that two shells could cause such terrifying power!

"Battalion...Battalion Commander, you...you are truly amazing!" Xu Erniu stuttered, looking at Zhang Ling with eyes full of awe.

Zhang Ling looked at everything in front of him, but there was no joy in his heart.

There are never winners in war.

Although this landslide destroyed the Sakata Corps, it also completely changed the topography of Cang Yun Ridge.

The once majestic mountains have now become ruins, and the once lush forests have now become barren.

"Let's go, it's time for us to retreat." Zhang Ling took a deep breath, turned around and walked down the mountain.

Everyone followed Zhang Ling silently, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance.

"Uu——"

A war horse came galloping over, with a communicator wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army sitting on it.

"Report to the battalion commander! An urgent message from the brigade commander!" The communicator dismounted, saluted, and handed a telegram to Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling took the telegram and unfolded it quickly.

The content of the telegram made Zhang Ling's face instantly become solemn.

"The Japanese reinforcements are almost arriving at Cangyun Ridge..."

At the end of the telegram, there was only one sentence:

"Be sure to hold your ground and wait for reinforcements!"

Zhang Ling raised his head and looked at the dust gradually approaching in the distance. He knew that a more brutal battle was about to begin...

"Believe, of course!" Xu Erniu answered loudly without thinking, and the other soldiers echoed him. Although Zhang Ling had not been in the 772nd Regiment for a long time, the military accomplishment and courage he showed had already conquered these veterans. Moreover, they had no other choice but to believe Zhang Ling.

"Okay!" Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with determination, "In that case, let's give it a try! Lao Xu, you come with me, and the others stay alert to prevent the Japanese from attacking."

Zhang Ling took Xu Erniu to the only remaining mortar, carefully inspected the gun, and adjusted the angle. He took a deep breath and tried to recall the topographic map of Cangyun Ridge and the location of the weak hillside. He knew that these two shots would determine the success or failure of the entire plan, and also determine the life or death of everyone on Cangyun Ridge.

"Captain, where are you aiming? This doesn't seem to be the enemy's headquarters?" Xu Erniu asked in confusion. In his opinion, artillery shells should be fired at the most densely populated areas of the enemy, but the direction Zhang Ling was aiming at was an empty hillside.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. I know what's going on!" Zhang Ling replied angrily. Of course, he couldn't explain that he was aiming at a key point that was invisible to the naked eye but could trigger a chain reaction.

After adjusting the angle, Zhang Ling said in a deep voice: "First shot, fire!"

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the shell cut through the night sky, dragging a long tail of flame as it flew towards the target.

A few seconds later, a muffled sound was heard in the distance, but there was no landslide as imagined.

"Battalion Commander, we missed the target! Is it because the angle was off?" Xu Erniu was a little nervous. This was the last cannon and there were only three shells left.

Zhang Ling looked solemn, and ignored Xu Erniu. Instead, he carefully adjusted the firing angle again, muttering, "Damn it, this broken gun has such a strong recoil, it must have affected the accuracy! Damn it, I'm going all out this time!"

He took a deep breath, raised the muzzle slightly, and silently estimated the error and correction amount in his mind.

"Second shot, fire!"

There was another deafening bang, and the shells whizzed out again, carrying everyone's hope and flying towards the silent hillside.

This time, the wait seemed extra long.

Just when everyone was about to lose hope, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar!

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble violently, rocks rolled down, dust flew, and the entire Cangyun Ridge seemed to be shaking!

"It's done!" Zhang Ling shouted excitedly, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The violent explosion triggered a chain reaction, detonating coal mine gas, which in turn triggered a large-scale landslide. The position of the Sakata Regiment, along with the surrounding rocks and soil, was swallowed up and disappeared in chaos.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers on Cangyun Mountain were stunned by the sudden change. They stared at everything in front of them in amazement, as if they were in a dream.

"Battalion Commander, this... this is too fierce!" Xu Erniu stuttered, his eyes full of awe.

Zhang Ling smiled proudly and was secretly happy in his heart: Boy, now you have witnessed the power of modern military theory!

At this moment, a discordant voice came from behind:

"Captain Zhang, your shot has collapsed my headquarters! If I hadn't run fast, I would have been buried in the ground by now!"

Zhang Ling looked back and saw Li Yunlong walking towards him with a dusty face, followed by Zhao Gang who was also dusty.

"Commander, Political Commissar, why are you here?" Zhang Ling asked in pretended surprise, but he was secretly thinking that it was not good. Li Yunlong came at a very inappropriate time!

"I came to see what the hell you are doing! That shot of yours almost killed me!" Li Yunlong said unhappily.

"Commander, you misunderstood. This is not an ordinary artillery shell. This is..." Zhang Ling was about to explain but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Okay, stop talking to me about this. I don't have time to listen to your explanation! Now that you have buried all the Japanese, how can I explain this to the brigade commander? You just want to cause trouble for me!" Li Yunlong became angrier and angrier. He grabbed Zhang Ling by the collar and said, "Tell me, what is your conspiracy?"

Zhang Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Li Yunlong's temper really came out at any time. He was about to explain when he suddenly felt the ground shaking again. Then, a more violent explosion was heard, and the entire Cangyun Ridge was shrouded in flames...
