Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

When Cuihua saw Zhang Ling, she felt like she was grabbing a life-saving straw and cried out, "Brother Zhang, save me!"

Zhang Ling roared, "Beast, stop it!" He rushed forward and punched the Japanese officer in the face.

The Japanese officer was hit so hard that he saw stars. Before he could react, Zhang Ling kicked him away again.

"Baga!" The Japanese officer got up in a panic, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling sneered, dodged the bullet, snatched the Japanese officer's pistol, and pulled the trigger at him.

"boom!"

The Japanese officer fell to the ground.

Zhang Ling turned around and helped Cuihua up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Cuihua cried and shook her head, holding Zhang Ling's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

Zhang Ling patted Cuihua's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll take you away from here."

At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door.

Oh no, it’s the Japanese patrol!

Zhang Ling acted decisively and pulled Cuihua into the secret compartment of the room.

Several Japanese soldiers rushed in and saw the Japanese officer lying on the ground, and they were immediately in chaos.

"Taijun, how are you?"

"Go call the doctor!"

......

Zhang Ling and Cuihua hid in the secret compartment for a long time, until the noise outside disappeared, then they carefully crawled out.

Cuihua was still in shock and her face was pale.

Zhang Ling looked at her, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart. He took off his coat, put it on Cuihua, and said, "Let's go."

The two of them quietly left the brothel under the cover of night.

On the way back to the camp, Cuihua remained silent.

Zhang Ling knew that she was very frightened, so he didn't say much. He just walked with her silently.

Suddenly, Cuihua stopped, turned around and looked at Zhang Ling, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for saving me."

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

Cuihua's eyes were wet again, and she choked up and said, "If it weren't for you, I..."

She didn't say anything else, but Zhang Ling understood what she meant.

Zhang Ling gently hugged Cuihua and comforted her: "Don't think about it, everything is over."

Cuihua leaned her head on Zhang Ling's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and gradually calmed down.

The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while, then continued walking towards the camp.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Ling settled Cuihua down, and then immediately summoned several scouts to discuss the next action plan.

"Ping'an County's defense is tighter than we thought," Zhang Ling said, pointing to the map, "We must find a breakthrough."

A scout pointed to a location on the map and said, "Captain, look here, the wall on the west side of the city seems to be weaker."

Zhang Ling looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "You are right, we can start from here."

"But there's a moat outside the city wall on the west side," said another scout. "How do we cross it?"

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "We can use the woods outside the city to make some simple rafts."

"Good idea!" The scouts agreed.

Zhang Ling continued, "Tonight, we will send a few people to the west of the city to scout the terrain, and then formulate a detailed battle plan."

"Yes!"

......

It was late at night, and Zhang Ling lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Cuihua's figure kept appearing in his mind.

He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Cuihua, but he knew that he wanted to protect her and not let her get hurt again.

Suddenly, he heard light footsteps outside the tent.

He sat up alertly and picked up the gun beside the bed.

"Who?"

The curtain of the tent was lifted and Cuihua walked in.

"Brother Zhang, it's me."

Zhang Ling put down his gun and looked at Cuihua in confusion: "Why are you here so late?"

Cuihua walked to Zhang Ling's bed, lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red.

"I...I can't sleep."

Zhang Ling looked at Cuihua and felt an inexplicable beating in his heart.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became ambiguous...

The brothel was filled with the fishy smell of cheap powder and sweat. Zhang Ling held his breath and tried to ignore the disgusting smell. The intermittent voices coming from the crack of the door, Japanese mixed with the woman's deliberately suppressed moans, made Zhang Ling frown. He wanted to rush in immediately and kill these beasts on the spot, but then he thought, this Japanese officer sneaked into such a place, there must be something fishy.

He listened patiently for a while and finally caught a key piece of information: the arsenal. The Japanese officer seemed to be bragging to the prostitute that there was a new batch of "good stuff" in the arsenal in Ping'an County, which was enough to blow up these Chinese people.

Zhang Ling's heart trembled. Arsenal? This is important information! If we can find the location of the arsenal and blow it up, it will be much easier to attack Ping'an County.

He decided to continue tracking the Japanese officer.

After a while, the Japanese officer came out contentedly with an obscene smile on his face. Zhang Ling quietly followed him all the way until he entered a heavily guarded building.

Zhang Ling hid in the dark and observed for a while, and found that the guards in this building were stricter than other places. There were also two machine gunners at the door. It was obvious that this was an important place.

Combining the information he just heard, Zhang Ling could almost conclude that this was the enemy's arsenal!

He was overjoyed. It was really a relief that he finally found what he had been looking for so long.

He immediately returned to the camp and told the other soldiers this important information.

"Battalion Commander, you are so awesome!" the soldiers exclaimed.

"This is all thanks to everyone." Zhang Ling said modestly, "Now, we already know the location of the Japanese arsenal. Next, we need to formulate a detailed battle plan and strive to destroy the Japanese arsenal in one fell swoop!"

......

After a heated discussion, Zhang Ling finally formulated a bold plan: he would personally lead a small team to sneak into the arsenal, place explosives in key locations of the arsenal, and then detonate the explosives to destroy the entire arsenal.

This plan was very dangerous, and the whole army would be wiped out if they were not careful. However, in order to successfully capture Ping'an County, Zhang Ling decided to take the risk.

......

As night fell, Zhang Ling, with a dozen selected elite soldiers, quietly moved towards the Japanese arsenal.

They were dressed in night clothes, holding sharp daggers in their hands, and moved in the darkness like a group of ghosts.

Ping'an County was completely silent, with only the occasional barking of dogs.

Zhang Ling and the soldiers carefully avoided the patrolling Japanese soldiers and slowly approached the armory.

......

The armory has a very high wall with barbed wire on it, and is heavily guarded.

Zhang Ling observed the terrain and found a big tree in the corner of the wall, which he could use to climb over the wall.

He gestured to the soldiers to follow him and climb the tree.

The soldiers were agile and quickly climbed up the tree, then climbed over the wall and entered the armory.

......

The armory was filled with all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

According to the pre-planned plan, Zhang Ling and his soldiers quickly placed explosives in key locations in the armory.

Everything is ready, just waiting to be detonated.

Just then, an accident happened.

A Japanese soldier suddenly walked out of the warehouse and ran into Zhang Ling and the soldiers.

"Who is it?" the Japanese soldier shouted loudly.

Zhang Ling thought to himself that this was not good. He knew that they were exposed.

Without having time to think, he immediately drew out his dagger and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers.

Other warriors drew their daggers and joined the battle.

......

The battle was very fierce. Although the number of Japanese soldiers was small, they were well-equipped and had strong firepower.

Zhang Ling and the soldiers fought bloody battles and quickly wiped out several Japanese soldiers.

However, they were also suppressed by the Japanese firepower and could not move forward.

Just then, a Japanese soldier suddenly sounded the alarm.

"Woo——"

The shrill alarm sounded through the night sky, and the entire Ping'an County was in an uproar.

Countless Japanese soldiers rushed in from all directions and surrounded Zhang Ling and his soldiers.

......

Zhang Ling knew that they were in a desperate situation.

He looked at the soldiers around him, all of whom had expressions of fearlessness in their faces.

"Brothers," Zhang Ling shouted, "We have completed our mission. Now, we must sacrifice heroically for our country and our people!"

"For the country, for the people!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

......

Zhang Ling pressed the detonator.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the entire arsenal exploded.

Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire Ping'an County was shrouded in a sea of ​​fire...

The flames of the explosion illuminated Zhang Ling's face red. He seemed to see the peach blossoms in his hometown blooming, all over the mountains and plains, as brilliant as clouds...

Inside the brothel, the smell of powder and alcohol made Zhang Ling feel sick. He held his breath and put his ear close to the crack in the door, and heard the conversation inside intermittently.

"Madam...work comfortably..." A delicate female voice came with obvious flattery.

"Yoshi yoshi, Miss Hua's, very good..." The Japanese of the Japanese officer had a vulgar flavor.

Then came the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the woman's soft moans and the man's heavy breathing intertwined together, unbearable to the ears.

Zhang Ling frowned, but continued to listen despite the discomfort. He keenly caught some key words: "drugs", "transportation", "North Gate".

It seems that this Japanese officer came to the brothel to seek pleasure, but he was really here to gather intelligence. Zhang Ling was secretly delighted, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He quietly stepped back a few steps, beckoned the scouts to come over, and whispered, "You guys, guard the front and back doors. No one is allowed to go in or out without my order. I'll be back soon."

After saying this, Zhang Ling disappeared into the night.

He did not rush into the brothel to arrest people immediately, but went around to the backyard of the brothel. He remembered that the topographic map of Ping'an County showed that there was a well in the backyard of the brothel and a path leading to the outside of the city.

Zhang Ling swiftly climbed over the wall and quietly came to the well. He observed the surroundings and after making sure there was no ambush, he sneaked out of the city along the path.

He must pass this intelligence to the main force as soon as possible so that they can adjust their battle plans.

......

Outside the city, in the main force's headquarters, the atmosphere was solemn.

"Ping'an County is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have already lost quite a few men." A staff officer looked at the map with a frown.
