Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Yes!" The scout took the order and left.

Zhang Ling walked aside, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff. In the smoke, his thoughts went back to last night. Although those men in black were well-trained, their fighting power was not strong and they almost collapsed at the first blow. This made him feel that something was wrong.

"Captain, look!" A scout on guard suddenly shouted, pointing into the distance.

Zhang Ling looked in the direction his finger pointed and saw a group of people appearing on the hillside in the distance, galloping towards them.

"It's the Japs!" another scout exclaimed.

Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes and made a rough estimate. There were at least a hundred people on the other side, who were well-equipped and had no good intentions.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Zhang Ling suddenly realized that this batch of opium was just a bait, and Yamamoto Ikki's real target was him!

"Hurry, get ready for battle!" Zhang Ling yelled and threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground.

The scouts quickly dispersed, found cover, set up machine guns, and prepared to fight.

"Da da da......"

The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the valley. Bullets whizzed past Zhang Ling's ears and hit the surrounding tree trunks, sending wood chips flying.

"Captain, the Japanese firepower is too strong, we can't hold on!" a scout shouted.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth. He knew that they were now surrounded and there was little hope of breaking out.

"Use grenades!" Zhang Ling shouted, "Kill as many as you can!"

The scouts took out their grenades, pulled the fuses, and threw them at the crowd of Japanese invaders.

"Boom boom boom..."

Explosions rang out one after another, and the smoke filled the sky, blocking out the sun.

Taking advantage of the cover of gunpowder smoke, Zhang Ling led the remaining few scouts to break out to the other side of the valley.

"Chase! Don't let them run away!" Yamamoto Ikki stood on the hillside, looking at Zhang Ling and others who were fleeing in a panic, with a sneer on his face.

Zhang Ling and others ran all the way, and the gunshots behind them were getting closer and closer.

"Captain, there is a cliff ahead!" a scout shouted, pointing ahead.

Zhang Ling looked up and saw a bottomless cliff in front of him. The cliffs were so steep that there was no way to go.

"Damn it!" Zhang Ling cursed fiercely. He knew that they had no other options.

"Fight them!" a scout shouted with red eyes. He was ready to sacrifice.

"No, we can't die in vain." Zhang Ling calmed down, "There is one last way."

"What method?" The scouts all looked at Zhang Ling, their eyes full of hope.

Zhang Ling pointed to a big tree on the edge of the cliff and said, "Let's jump from there!"

"Jump down? Captain, that's too dangerous!" a scout exclaimed.

"Do we have any other choice now?" Zhang Ling asked, "Rather than being caught and tortured to death by the devils, we might as well take a gamble!"

The scouts were silent. They knew that Zhang Ling was right. Now they had no way out.

"Okay! We'll follow you!" a scout gritted his teeth and said firmly.

"Jump!" Zhang Ling shouted and ran towards the big tree first.

The scouts followed closely behind, jumping off the cliff one by one.

Yamamoto Ikki led the Japanese to the edge of the cliff and looked at the empty bottom of the cliff with a dark face.

"Baga! Let them run away!" Yamamoto Ikki roared angrily.

At the bottom of the cliff is a turbulent river.

The moment Zhang Ling jumped off the cliff, he grabbed an outstretched branch and then slid down into the river along the branch.

The cold river water stimulated his nerves and made him wake up instantly.

He swam hard towards the shore and finally climbed onto the shore exhausted.

He looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by dense vines and was difficult to be found.

He struggled to his feet and found that other scouts had also climbed ashore one after another, all seriously injured.

"Captain, we're still alive..." a scout said weakly.

Zhang Ling nodded. He knew that they were safe for the time being, but next, how were they going to escape from this hellhole?

Suddenly, a strange sound came from deep in the cave...

Zhang Ling looked at the flames rising into the sky, and a sense of revenge rose in his heart. The opium turned into ashes, just like the suppressed anger in his heart was vented. But this was just the beginning. The real enemy was still in Qingfeng County. The Japanese leader named Yamamoto Ikki was his ultimate target.

The next morning, the ground was covered with mist and the wind was biting. Zhang Ling received an order from his superiors to attack Qingfeng County. He sneered, God is helping me! He had long wanted to meet Yamamoto Ikki.

"Brothers, follow me to kill the Japanese!" Zhang Ling gave an order, and the soldiers rushed towards Qingfeng County like arrows.

The battle was extremely fierce, with deafening sounds of gunfire, cannon fire, and shouts of killing. Zhang Ling led the charge, holding two guns, like a tiger descending from the mountain, charging left and right among the enemy. His shooting was accurate, and every shot took the life of an enemy.

However, Yamamoto Ikki was no ordinary man. He seemed to have anticipated Zhang Ling's attack and set up many ambushes in the city. Zhang Ling's troops suffered heavy casualties and their pace of advancement gradually slowed down.

"Commander, the Japanese's firepower is too strong. We can't hold on!" A soldier covered in blood ran to Zhang Ling to report.

Zhang Ling frowned, he knew that he couldn't continue to fight like this. He had to think of a way to break the deadlock.

"Pass the order down, the entire army retreat!" Zhang Ling gave the order decisively.

Although the soldiers were unwilling, they still obeyed the order and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Yamamoto Ikki stood on the city wall, watching the retreating troops with a smug smile on his face. "Zhang Ling, you are nothing more than this!"

However, his smile quickly froze.

Just as the troops were retreating, an explosion suddenly sounded in the city. It turned out that Zhang Ling had secretly sent people into the city before retreating and placed explosives in the enemy's ammunition depot.

Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and the entire Qingfeng County was shrouded in thick smoke.

Yamamoto Ikki's face turned pale. He didn't expect Zhang Ling to do this.

"Baga! Chase! Chase him!" Yamamoto Ikki roared in frustration.

However, it was too late. The explosion destroyed the enemy's ammunition depot and their morale. The army took advantage of the situation to counterattack and soon entered Qingfeng County.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yamamoto Ikki had no choice but to flee in panic with his remaining troops.

Zhang Ling stood on the city wall, watching Yamamoto Ikki fleeing in a panic, his heart filled with the joy of victory.

"Yamamoto Ikki, the next time we meet, it will be the day of your death!" Zhang Ling spat fiercely in the direction where Yamamoto Ikki fled.

......

After capturing Qingfeng County, Zhang Ling was commended by his superiors. His reputation grew and he became a well-known anti-Japanese hero.

However, Zhang Ling was not carried away by victory. He knew that the Anti-Japanese War was far from over, and he had to continue fighting until all the invaders were driven out of Daxia!

......

A few months later, Zhang Ling received a new assignment and went to the enemy-occupied area to carry out a secret mission.

The mission was extremely dangerous, but Zhang Ling accepted it without hesitation, as he knew that as a soldier, obeying orders was his duty.

He took several elite scouts and sneaked into the enemy-occupied area.

......

On a dark night, Zhang Ling and the scouts came to the vicinity of an island military camp.

Their mission was to blow up the island army's arsenal.

Zhang Ling carefully observed the surrounding situation and formulated a battle plan.

"Remember, our target is the arsenal. After blowing up the arsenal, retreat immediately and don't fight to the end!" Zhang Ling said to the scouts.

"Yes!" the scouts answered in unison.

......

At midnight, Zhang Ling and the scouts sneaked into the island army camp.

They avoided the patrolling Japanese and came to the armory.

Zhang Ling took out the explosives and started setting them up.

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence of the night.

A devil discovered them!

"Oh no, we've been discovered! Retreat quickly!" Zhang Ling shouted.

The scouts immediately took up their weapons and began to fight back.

A fierce gun battle broke out in the island army camp.

Zhang Ling and the scouts fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Just then, a Japanese officer discovered Zhang Ling.

"Catch him! He is Zhang Ling!" the Japanese officer shouted loudly.

A group of Japanese soldiers immediately surrounded Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling was outnumbered and suffered multiple wounds.

He looked at the Japanese devils around him and knew that he probably couldn't escape this time.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him...

Zhang Ling looked at the flames rising into the sky, and the crackling sound of the burning opium sounded like beautiful music to his ears. He took a deep breath, as if he had inhaled the sweet smell of revenge. But in this sweetness, there was a hint of uneasiness, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, spitting out cold tongues.

"Report! Captain Zhang, we found footprints of the Japanese nearby, and it seems that there are quite a lot of them!" A scout ran up to Zhang Ling and reported hurriedly.

Zhang Ling's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that he might have been ambushed. Yamamoto Ikki, this old fox!

"Order all brothers to enter combat status immediately! Prepare to meet the enemy!" Zhang Ling growled, with a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.

The scout took the order and left, while Zhang Ling quickly observed the surrounding terrain. This place was surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was an excellent ambush location. He had to find a favorable terrain as soon as possible to resist the attack of the devils.

"Captain, look!" a scout shouted, pointing to a cave not far away.

Zhang Ling looked in the direction pointed by the scout, and a hidden cave appeared in his sight. The entrance of the cave was narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an excellent defensive location.

"Okay! Let's go into the cave!" Zhang Ling made a quick decision and rushed into the cave with the scouts.

As soon as they entered the cave, dense gunfire rang out from outside the valley. The devils are coming!

"Da da da..." Bullets hit the rocks outside the cave like raindrops, splashing sparks.

"Hide! Don't expose your target!" Zhang Ling shouted loudly.

The scouts hid behind the rocks and took advantage of the cave's terrain to engage in fierce firefight with the Japanese.

Zhang Ling calmly observed the enemy situation and found that the number of devils was far greater than they had imagined. It seemed that Yamamoto Ikki had made a huge effort this time and wanted to completely eliminate him!

"Damn it! This old devil really thinks highly of me!" Zhang Ling spat fiercely, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Although Zhang Ling's scouts fought bravely, they were outnumbered and gradually began to lose strength.

"Captain, we're running out of ammunition!" a scout shouted anxiously.

Zhang Ling's heart sank. He knew that if they didn't find a way to break out, they would be wiped out.
