Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Are you awake?" a crisp voice sounded.

Zhang Ling turned around and saw a girl in an emerald green dress standing beside the bed, looking at him with a smile. The girl had a beautiful face and a pair of big, lively eyes, like a crystal clear gem.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked vigilantly.

"My name is Xiao Cui, and I'm a maid here." The girl smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples. "You've been unconscious for three days. How do you feel now?"

Zhang Ling struggled to sit up, feeling a little weak, but nothing serious. "Where... where am I?"

"This is Tianyuan City, the City Lord's Mansion." Xiao Cui replied.

"Tianyuan City?" Zhang Ling frowned. He had never heard of this name. He tried to recall what happened before, the space crack, Bai Ningshuang... That's right, Bai Ningshuang!

"Where is the woman with me?" Zhang Ling asked anxiously.

Xiao Cui's expression changed slightly, and she said hesitantly: "That girl...she is seriously injured and is still in a coma."

Zhang Ling's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Where is she? Can I go see her?"

Xiao Cui nodded: "Of course, I'll take you there right away."

Under Xiao Cui's guidance, Zhang Ling came to an elegantly decorated room. Bai Ningshuang lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and her breathing weak. Zhang Ling walked to the bedside and gently held her hand. A cold touch came over him, which made his heart ache.

"Ningshuang, you must wake up..." Zhang Ling murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, Bai Ningshuang's fingers moved slightly. Zhang Ling was delighted and quickly held her hand tightly, calling out, "Ningshuang, can you hear me?"

Bai Ningshuang's eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Zhang Ling in confusion, and it took her a while to recognize him.

"Zhang Ling...is that you?" Bai Ningshuang's voice was weak.

"It's me, I'm here." Zhang Ling said excitedly.

"Where...is this place?" Bai Ningshuang asked weakly.

"This is Tianyuan City." Zhang Ling replied, "We were swept here by a space rift."

Bai Ningshuang frowned slightly, as if trying hard to recall something.

"Space crack..." Bai Ningshuang muttered to herself, "I remember... before I was sucked in, I saw a city..."

"City?" Zhang Ling asked doubtfully.

"Yes, a city floating in the air..." Bai Ningshuang's voice became lower and lower, and finally she fell into coma again.

Zhang Ling looked at the unconscious Bai Ningshuang, his heart filled with worry and confusion. A city floating in the air? What was that place? Could it be related to their crossing into this world?

"Xiao Cui, do you know the city floating in the air?" Zhang Ling turned to look at Xiao Cui and asked.

Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "I have never heard of such a city."

Zhang Ling was even more confused. At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling asked.

Xiao Cui walked to the door, opened it, and saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walking in with a group of guards.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Ling and asked arrogantly.

"I'm Zhang Ling." Zhang Ling replied, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am the mayor of Tianyuan City. You can call me Lord Mayor." The middle-aged man said, "I heard that you came out of the space crack, is that right?"

Zhang Ling nodded.

"Very good." The city lord showed a sinister smile, "I just need some people from other worlds to do something for me."

Zhang Ling had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked at the city lord warily and asked, "What do you want us to do?"

The city lord walked to the bedside and looked at the unconscious Bai Ningshuang, with a greedy gleam in his eyes. "I heard that you came from a world called 'Earth', where there is a magical technology that can make people immortal, is that right?"

Gas! This thing is a good thing! Countless plans to use gas to kill the Sakata team flashed through Zhang Ling's mind. The simplest one is to blow it up directly!

However, how to blast it is a problem.

You can't just rush down carrying the explosives yourself, can you?

Not to mention whether it can be blown up or not, even if it is blown up, I will be finished with it.

Isn’t this nonsense!

Zhang Ling scratched his head and suddenly an idea came to him.

Damn it, how could I forget about the mortar!

There are still quite a few shells in the captured mortars!

As long as the angle and distance are calculated correctly, it is entirely possible to fire the shells into the mining area and detonate the gas!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling immediately ordered the artillery platoon to prepare mortars.

"Platoon leader, you better aim and shoot! If you miss, I'll kill you!" Zhang Ling said viciously to the artillery platoon leader.

The artillery platoon leader said with a bitter face: "Battalion Commander, this... this distance is a bit far! And this thing is not a sniper rifle, the accuracy..."

"Stop talking fucking nonsense! I don't care what method you use, just blow it up for me!" Zhang Ling kicked the artillery platoon leader on the butt.

The artillery platoon leader didn't dare to say anything else and had to bite the bullet and order the artillerymen to adjust the artillery parameters.

"Gun position number one, get ready!"

"Gun position number two, get ready!"

"Gun position number three, get ready!"

"put!"

Following the order from the artillery platoon leader, three mortar shells whizzed out and flew towards the mining area.

Zhang Ling stared at the flight trajectory of the shell nervously and prayed silently in his heart.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three loud bangs, three columns of thick smoke rose from the direction of the mining area.

"How is it? Did you hit it?" Zhang Ling asked anxiously.

The artillery platoon leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Report to the battalion commander, all three shells hit the target!"

"Good! Damn, well done!" Zhang Ling shouted excitedly.

However, after a few minutes, the expected big explosion did not occur.

"What's going on? Why is there no movement?" Zhang Ling asked puzzledly.

The artillery platoon leader also looked confused, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it should be..."

Before he could finish his words, a low roar suddenly came from the direction of the mining area.

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to shake violently.

"Oh no! It's a gas explosion!" Zhang Ling's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone, lie down!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge shock wave swept in, overturning everything around it to the ground.

Zhang Ling only felt a deafening roar in his ears, and then he lost consciousness.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ling slowly opened his eyes.

He found himself lying in the ruins, surrounded by chaos.

"Cough cough..." Zhang Ling coughed violently a few times and felt extremely sore all over.

"Commander! Commander! You're awake!"

A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

Zhang Ling turned his head and saw the artillery platoon leader looking at him anxiously.

"Where are the others?" Zhang Ling struggled to sit up and asked.

"They're all over there! Everything is fine!" said the artillery platoon leader, pointing to a place not far away.

Zhang Ling looked in the direction where his finger pointed, and saw that the remaining soldiers were gathered in groups of three or four. Although they were all covered in dust, fortunately they were all alive.

"Damn it, I finally survived!" Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little scared.

The gas explosion was extremely powerful. If he had not reacted in time and led his soldiers to lie down, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Battalion Commander, look!" The artillery platoon leader suddenly exclaimed, pointing in the direction of the mining area.

Zhang Ling turned his head and saw thick smoke and flames rising into the sky in the direction of the mining area.

The entire mining area has turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The position of the Sakata Regiment was razed to the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"Sakata Corps...was completely wiped out?" Zhang Ling muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He originally just wanted to use the gas explosion to cause some trouble to the Sakata Corps and buy time for a breakout.

But I didn’t expect that the Sakata Corps would be wiped out!

This...this is too incredible!

A surge of ecstasy suddenly surged in Zhang Ling's heart.

Damn it, I'm so lucky!

Not only did they successfully break through, but they also destroyed the Sakata Unit!

If this gets out, won’t I become an anti-Japanese hero?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Battalion Commander, are you...are you okay?" The artillery platoon leader looked at Zhang Ling's crazy appearance and asked worriedly.

"It's okay! I'm fine!" Zhang Ling laughed and said, "Let's go! Let's go back!"

......

Zhang Ling led the remaining soldiers back to the base.

Along the way, they encountered many scattered troops and soldiers.

When they learned the news that the Sakata Regiment had been completely wiped out, they all cheered.

"Captain Zhang, you are so amazing!"

"Captain Zhang, you are the hero of our 772nd Regiment!"

"Captain Zhang..."

The soldiers gathered around Zhang Ling and expressed their admiration for him.

Zhang Ling felt a little embarrassed by their praise. He scratched his head and said, "It's all thanks to the brothers who fought hard. I just did my little bit."

"Battalion Commander, don't be so modest! If you hadn't led us to blow up the Japanese coal mine, we would have died in Cangyun Ridge long ago!" a soldier said excitedly.

"Yes! Battalion Commander, you are our benefactor!" another soldier also said.

Zhang Ling looked at these soldiers who survived the disaster and felt deeply moved.

He knew that this victory was hard-won.

It was won with the blood and lives of countless soldiers.

"Brothers, we have won!" Zhang Ling took a deep breath and said loudly, "But this war is not over yet! We have to continue fighting until the Japanese are driven out of Daxia!"

"Drive them out of Daxia!"

"Drive them out of Daxia!"

The soldiers were excited and shouted loudly.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone turned around and saw a group of cavalrymen galloping towards them.

The leader was a man wearing a military uniform, a military cap, and two bars and two stars on his shoulders.

It turned out to be a lieutenant colonel!

"It's the leader!" a soldier exclaimed.

Zhang Ling's heart trembled, thinking to himself: Oh no! Why is this old guy here? Is he here to call me to task?

Gas! Coal mine! These two words exploded in Zhang Ling's mind, like lightning in the dark night, instantly illuminating his way out. The Sakata Brigade was stationed on a huge barrel of explosives, and he, Zhang Ling, held the fuse in his hand!

"Damn it, you little Japs, I'm going to give you a big gift!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but growl, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
