Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 561 Conspiracy?

"Could it be some kind of trick?" Zhang Ling pondered, "Could the Japs be plotting something?"

"Captain, I don't think so." An old soldier said, "I have lived for most of my life and have never seen anything so weird. This horrible weather, this lightning strike, and that toad... It's too weird!"

Zhang Ling nodded. The old soldier's words made sense. This was indeed too weird, so weird that it was hard to explain.

"No matter what, we have to be careful." Zhang Ling looked around vigilantly, "The Japanese must have more ambushes."

At this moment, a "quack quack" sound suddenly came from the pond. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the huge toad staring at them with two green eyes.

"Damn it, this toad has become a spirit!" Xu Erniu was so scared that he took a step back and raised his gun to shoot.

"Don't shoot!" Zhang Ling stopped him, "Let's see the situation first."

The toad seemed to understand Zhang Ling's words, and actually spoke in human language: "You...you Chinese...how dare you...dare to kill me..."

Everyone was stunned again. This toad could actually speak human language?

"You...you are Sakata Nobutsu?" Zhang Ling asked tentatively.

"Baga! I am Sakata Nobutsu!" the toad roared, "You despicable Chinese people actually used such despicable means to plot against me! I will kill you and be loyal to His Majesty!"

"You've become like this, and you still want to kill us?" Zhang Ling sneered, "I think you are just daydreaming!"

"Humph! Don't think I can't deal with you just because I've become like this!" Toad said viciously, "I will return to my original state soon, and then I will tear you into pieces!"

"Really? Then I want to see how you get back to normal!" Zhang Ling said, raising the Mauser pistol in his hand.

"Quack!" Seeing this, the toad was so scared that it quickly jumped into the pond and disappeared.

"Captain, what should we do?" Xu Erniu asked, "This toad is too evil, let's leave quickly."

Zhang Ling thought for a moment and said, "No, we can't just leave like this. The main force of the Sakata Brigade is still nearby. We have to find a way to eliminate them."

"But...but we are surrounded now..." Xu Erniu said with some concern.

"Don't be afraid, we have the advantage of terrain." Zhang Ling pointed to the dense jungle around him and said, "We can use the terrain to fight a guerrilla war with the devils."

Everyone nodded. Zhang Ling's plan gave them hope.

"Now, we will divide into three groups and break out from three directions." Zhang Ling began to deploy the battle plan. "Remember, our goal is to destroy the devils, not to fight them head-on. If you can sneak attack, do it; if you can dodge, do it; try to preserve your strength."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

So, everyone started to act according to Zhang Ling's deployment.

Zhang Ling led a group of people and quietly lurked near a Japanese sentry post. He observed the terrain and found that there were only two Japanese soldiers in the sentry post.

"Xu Erniu, come with me." Zhang Ling said in a low voice.

The two men quietly crept behind the sentry post. Zhang Ling knocked one Japanese soldier unconscious with a knife, while Xu Erniu killed another Japanese soldier with a bayonet.

"Well done!" Zhang Ling patted Xu Erniu on the shoulder, then picked up the Japanese rifle and fired at the Japanese in the distance.

The gunshots alarmed the Japanese soldiers nearby, and they surrounded Zhang Ling and others.

"Retreat!" Zhang Ling ordered.

Everyone retreated quickly and disappeared into the dense jungle.

The Japanese pursued them but could not find any trace of Zhang Ling and his companions. They wandered in the jungle for a long time but found nothing.

Zhang Ling and others took advantage of the terrain to constantly harass and attack the Japanese, making them exhausted and suffering heavy losses.

At the same time, the other two groups also achieved good results.

The Sakata Brigade was originally aggressive, but now they are in trouble. They were played around by Zhang Ling and others, their morale was low, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds again, with lightning and thunder.

"Oh no, the toad is coming out again!" a soldier shouted in horror.

Sure enough, the "quack quack" sound was heard from the pond again.

Everyone stared at the pond nervously, and saw a huge toad jumping out of the pond.

This toad is bigger than before, emitting green light all over, and looks even more weird.

"Quack!" The toad made a deafening sound, and then...it actually started...singing?

"I am a happy little frog, croak, croak, croak..."

This sudden singing made everyone stunned.

This...what is going on?

Zhang Ling and the others stared in amazement as Sakata Nobutsu turned into a toad and jumped into the pool. For a moment, they forgot to react. In the silent forest, only the ripples in the pool sounded particularly strange.

"I... I fuck..." Xu Erniu swallowed his saliva and stammered, "What the hell is this?"

Others also said that they had never seen such a strange thing in their lives.

Zhang Ling was the first to react. He realized that this might be an opportunity. Sakata Nobutsu had turned into a toad, so his fighting power must have been greatly reduced. Now was the best time to eliminate him!

"Don't just stand there!" Zhang Ling yelled, "Get your weapons and kill that toad!"

Everyone suddenly woke up as if from a dream, raised their weapons and rushed towards the pool.

However, before they got close to the pool, they heard a quack sound, and then dozens of...toads?

These toads were of different sizes and colors, but all of them exuded a disgusting stench. They jumped out of the pool and pounced on Zhang Ling and others.

"What the hell! What's going on?" Xu Erniu stepped back in fear. "Why are there so many toads in this damn place?"

"Don't worry about it, just kill them first!" Zhang Ling commanded everyone to retreat while shooting.

Although these toads look disgusting, their attack power should not be underestimated. Some of them spray venom, some attack with sharp claws, and some can even breathe fire!

Zhang Ling and others were caught off guard, and soon someone was injured and fell to the ground.

"Captain, we can't go on like this!" Xu Erniu shouted anxiously, "We're running out of ammunition!"

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't waste time like this any longer. He looked around and found a stream not far away.

"Retreat! Go to the stream!" Zhang Ling ordered.

The crowd fought and retreated, and finally arrived at the stream.

"Jump into the water!" Zhang Ling shouted and jumped into the stream first.

Others also jumped into the water, hoping to get rid of these damn toads.

However, they soon discovered that these toads could actually swim!

The toad army chased closely and continued to attack Zhang Ling and others in the water.

Zhang Ling dodged the toad's attack while thinking about countermeasures. He suddenly remembered that he had found a special ore in the mine that could emit strong light.

"Xu Erniu!" Zhang Ling shouted, "Do you remember the glowing stone we found in the mine?"

"I remember!" Xu Erniu replied while dodging a toad's venom attack, "What's wrong?"

"Go find them! The more the better!" Zhang Ling said, "I have a way to deal with these toads!"

Although Xu Erniu didn't understand Zhang Ling's intention, he dived into the water without hesitation to look for the glowing mineral.

Soon, Xu Erniu came back with a large pile of glowing ore.

"Battalion commander, what do you want this thing for?" Xu Erniu asked in confusion.

Zhang Ling didn't explain. He took the ores and threw them into the water one by one.

Something magical happened!

The moment the mineral came into contact with water, it emitted a dazzling light!

These lights seemed to have a strong inhibitory effect on toads. The toads illuminated by the lights cried out in pain, then their bodies began to swell, and finally exploded with a "bang"!

"Haha! It worked!" Zhang Ling laughed excitedly, "This thing really works!"

Seeing this, everyone followed suit and threw the ore in their hands into the water.

Suddenly, the stream was filled with light and explosions were heard one after another.

The toad army suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining toads fled into the creek.

Zhang Ling and others finally escaped from Toad's pursuit.

However, before they could catch their breath, they heard a roar in the distance.

They looked up and saw an island army plane flying towards them!

"Oh no! The Japanese planes are coming!" Xu Erniu exclaimed.

"Hide quickly!" Zhang Ling shouted, and led everyone to hide in the woods nearby...

Zhang Ling and the others stared at this scene in amazement, as if they were watching an absurd farce. Sakata Nobutsu, the cruel and cunning Japanese commander, actually turned into a toad and jumped into the pool?

"I...I saw a fucking ghost?" Xu Erniu rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"This...what is going on?" The other soldiers also started discussing.

Zhang Ling frowned, his heart full of doubts. This sudden change made him confused for a moment. Could it be that God couldn't stand it anymore and showed his power?

"Cuck!"

A loud frog croak interrupted Zhang Ling's thoughts. The huge toad poked its head out of the pond, staring at Zhang Ling and others with its green eyes.

"It...it seems to be looking at us!" a soldier shouted in horror.

"Quack!" The toad croaked again, then jumped suddenly and pounced towards Zhang Ling!

"Be careful!" Xu Erniu pushed Zhang Ling away, but was knocked to the ground by the toad.

"Erniu!" Zhang Ling was horrified and quickly raised his gun to shoot.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The bullet hit the toad, but it was like hitting rubber, and it couldn't cause any damage at all. Instead, the toad became even more angry, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards Xu Erniu.

"Ah!" Xu Erniu let out a scream. His arm was bitten by the toad and blood was flowing.

"Damn it!" Zhang Ling roared, picked up a big knife and chopped at the toad's head.

"clang!"

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the broadsword was actually bounced off by the toad's hard skin.

"This beast is invulnerable to swords and guns!" Zhang Ling thought to himself that this is not good.

At this moment, something strange happened again.

The dark clouds in the sky became thicker, the thunder became more frequent, and lightning flashed wildly in the sky like silver snakes, illuminating the entire mountain forest as bright as day.

Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the toad!

"Cuck!"

The toad let out a shrill scream, its huge body trembling violently, and the green light dimmed.

"Take advantage of now!" Zhang Ling shouted, raised the sword again and chopped towards the toad's head.

This time, the sword finally broke through the toad's defense and embedded deeply into its head.
