Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

From the bird's-eye view, the Sakata Regiment's position was completely covered by red warning signs. Then, the green dots representing the soldiers began to flee in all directions, like headless flies, without any order.

"Hahaha! Run! Run! Let's see where you can run!" Xu Erniu shouted excitedly, as if he had already seen the scene of the Sakata Corps being annihilated.

Zhang Ling remained calm, staring at the bird's-eye view and observing the movements of the Sakata Brigade.

"Damn, this old guy Sakata is really capable!" Zhang Ling said suddenly, "He actually divided the troops into two parts, one breaking out to the east, and the other breaking out to the west!"

"Then what should we do?" asked Xu Erniu.

"Chase! Of course! If I let one escape, I lose!" Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Erniu, you take a few people to chase the ones in the east, and I'll take people to chase the ones in the west!"

"Yes!" Xu Erniu took the order and chased towards the east with a few soldiers.

Zhang Ling also led the remaining soldiers and chased towards the west.

Although the Sakata Regiment was caught off guard, it was a well-trained elite force after all. It quickly stabilized its position and began to break out in an organized manner.

Zhang Ling and his men were chasing very fast, but the Sakata Unit was also able to break through quickly. The two sides launched a fierce chase in the mountains and forests.

The sounds of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing echoed through the mountains and forests.

Holding a Type 38 rifle, Zhang Ling rushed to the front of the team like a tiger descending from a mountain. His shooting was accurate, and each shot could take the life of a Japanese soldier.

"Damn it, come on! Fight me!" Zhang Ling roared and kept pulling the trigger.

Although the soldiers of the Sakata Regiment were well-trained, they could not exert their full combat power in such a complex terrain and with a large number of enemies and few of us. They kept falling down, and their bodies were lying in all directions in the mountains and forests.

Zhang Ling and his men fought more and more courageously, and were about to annihilate the Sakata Regiment that broke out from the west.

Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came.

"Oh no! It's artillery fire!" Zhang Ling's face changed drastically, and he shouted quickly, "Get down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several shells whizzed in and exploded around Zhang Ling and others.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosion was deafening and flames shot up into the sky.

Zhang Ling was knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion, his ears were buzzing and his vision was blurred.

"Battalion Commander! Battalion Commander! Are you okay?" Xu Erniu's voice came from a distance.

Zhang Ling struggled to get up, shook his head, and tried to wake himself up.

"I'm fine!" Zhang Ling shouted, "Erniu, how's the situation?"

"The Japanese in the east have also been suppressed by artillery fire!" Xu Erniu replied, "But our casualties are not small!"

Zhang Ling looked around and saw several soldiers lying in a pool of blood, their lives or deaths unknown. His heart sank suddenly, and a surge of anger burned in his chest.

"Damn it! That old guy Sakata is still haunting me!" Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not done with him!"

Just then, a new logo suddenly appeared on the bird's-eye view.

It was a red skull logo, flashing a strange light, and moving quickly towards Zhang Ling and the others...

The red alert sign spread like a plague, covering the entire valley where the Sakata regiment was stationed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Ling sneered and cursed in a low voice: "Little devils, now you know how powerful we are!"

Xu Erniu came over, looking excited: "Captain, it's done! This time the Japanese are definitely finished!"

Zhang Ling, however, looked solemn and shook his head: "Don't be too happy too soon, we haven't seen the final result yet. The Japanese are not vegetarians either, maybe some of them can escape."

Before he finished speaking, on the bird's-eye view, the little red dots representing the soldiers of the Sakata Regiment began to flee in all directions like panicked ants.

"Damn it, they really let some of these bastards escape!" Xu Erniu gritted his teeth, "Captain, should we chase them?"

Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes, staring at the small red dots running around on the bird's-eye view, and snorted coldly: "Chase! Of course I will chase! I will not leave any of them alive, I will send them all to hell!"

"But...how can we chase them with such few people?" Xu Erniu was a little worried.

Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with cunning: "Who said we have to chase them ourselves? We have help!" After that, he picked up the walkie-talkie and connected to the regiment's channel: "Report to the regiment commander, the Cangyunling landslide has been successfully triggered, and the Bantian regiment's position has been destroyed! Request artillery support to completely eliminate the remaining enemies!"

The regiment commander's hearty laughter came from the walkie-talkie: "Good boy! Well done! Artillery support will be here soon! Hit them hard and don't let any Japanese go!"

Soon, the sound of artillery rumbled in the distance. On the bird's-eye view, small yellow circles representing the impact points of the shells began to appear, accurately covering the fleeing red dots.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The flames from the exploding shells illuminated the night sky red and also illuminated Zhang Ling's stern face.

"Battalion Commander, awesome!" Xu Erniu shouted excitedly, "This time the Japs are completely finished!"

Zhang Ling's expression remained calm, without any joy in his eyes. He knew that this was only a small victory, and the war was far from over. He still had a more important mission to accomplish, which was - revenge!

On the bird's-eye view, the little red dots representing the Sakata Regiment had all disappeared, leaving only the devastated valley and the blazing flames.

The rain was still falling, washing away the blood and mud in the valley, as if trying to wash away the traces of this cruel war.

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, our mission is accomplished! Retreat!"

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

They turned and left, disappearing into the night.

However, not long after they left, an inconspicuous green dot appeared on the bird's-eye view, quietly leaving Cangyun Ridge along a hidden mountain road...

Zhang Ling didn't know that the landslide he carefully planned did not completely wipe out the Sakata Brigade. A major named Sakata Ichiro escaped the disaster by chance. And this Sakata Ichiro was Zhang Ling's greatest enemy in this life!

Sakata Ichiro, covered in mud and scars, hid in a hidden cave, with the flames of hatred burning in his eyes. He swore that he would take revenge! He must make Zhang Ling pay the price!

This life-and-death battle has just begun...

Inside the Sakata Brigade Headquarters, the piercing alarm sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"What's going on?!" Major Sakata suddenly woke up from his sleep and grabbed the phone on the table, "Report!"

A panicked voice came from the other end of the phone: "Report to the Major! There is a landslide! Our position has been buried by the mudslide!"

Major Sakata felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to his head. He threw away the phone and rushed to the map. On the map, the area representing their regiment's position was already covered in a striking red.

"Baga! How could this happen?!" Major Sakata roared in frustration and slammed his fist on the table.

"Major, we must retreat immediately!" the adjutant on the side reminded.

"Retreat? Where to retreat?!" Major Sakata pointed to the area surrounded by red on the map, "We are already surrounded!"

The adjutant's face was pale. He knew that they were in a desperate situation.

At this time, Zhang Ling was hiding in a safe place with his soldiers. Looking at the Sakata Regiment's position being swallowed by the mudslide in the distance, a smile of victory appeared on his face.

"Captain, you are amazing!" Xu Erniu looked at Zhang Ling with admiration, "How did you know that a landslide would happen here?"

Zhang Ling chuckled: "I've read a book called 'Geographical Knowledge' before. It says that places with sparse vegetation and low terrain are prone to landslides, especially in the rainy season. I'm just applying the knowledge in the book to actual combat."

"Battalion Commander, you are awesome!" Other soldiers also gave him a thumbs up.

Zhang Ling waved his hand: "Alright, stop flattering me! Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and see if there is anything valuable!"

The soldiers immediately dispersed and began to search the battlefield.

This man-made landslide completely destroyed the Sakata Unit's position and caused heavy losses to the Sakata Unit.

Major Sakata fled with his remaining troops, discarding their weapons and armor as they fled, and in the end, only less than a squadron of soldiers were left.

Zhang Ling returned triumphantly with the seized weapons, ammunition and supplies.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Ling was commended by his superiors and promoted to regiment leader.

"Captain, you are a genius!" The political commissar excitedly shook Zhang Ling's hand, "You have shown the power of our people's army in this battle!"

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "You are too kind, Political Commissar. This is all thanks to the soldiers."

"Captain, don't be so modest!" The chief of staff said, "Your battle has provided us with a new idea. In future battles, we can also use the terrain to create some 'accidents' and surprise the enemy!"

Zhang Ling nodded: "That's right. In the future, when we fight, we can't just think about fighting hard, we must also learn to use our brains and strategies. Only in this way can we defeat the enemy with fewer troops and the weak with the strong!"

Zhang Ling looked at the captured island army command knife in his hand, and his resolute face was reflected on the blade. He knew that this war was far from over, and he still had more important tasks to complete.

At this moment, a messenger rushed in: "Report to the head of the regiment! Urgent call from headquarters!"

Zhang Ling took the telegram and his face suddenly changed... There was only one sentence on the telegram: "The island army is attacking in a big way, Cang Yunling is in danger!"

Zhang Ling clenched the telegram tightly, and the thin paper made a "clicking" sound in his hand. Cangyun Ridge, that is the headquarters of the People's Army! Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Damn it!" Zhang Ling cursed fiercely and thrust his command knife back into its sheath. "Order the troops to set off immediately! Target: Cang Yun Ridge!"

"Yes!" The communicator saluted, turned around and ran away.

Zhang Ling looked up in the direction of Cangyun Ridge, his eyes full of worry and determination. He knew that this was a tough battle, a battle of life and death!

The troops assembled quickly, and the soldiers all looked solemn. They knew that the journey would be dangerous, but no one retreated.

"Brothers!" Zhang Ling stood in front of the team and shouted loudly, "The Japanese are now at our doorstep. Can we agree?"

"No!" the soldiers roared in unison.

"Okay! Let's let the Japanese have a taste of our power!" Zhang Ling waved his hand, "Let's go!"

The troops marched quickly along the rugged mountain road towards Cangyun Ridge. Along the way, they crossed mountains and ridges, overcame many difficulties, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Cangyun Ridge in the early morning of the next day.

At this time, Cangyun Ridge was already engulfed in flames. The island army, relying on its powerful firepower and manpower advantage, launched a fierce attack on the headquarters of the People's Army. The soldiers of the People's Army fought bravely, but due to being outnumbered, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Zhang Ling observed the terrain and found that the main attack direction of the island army was on the east side of Cangyun Ridge, while the defense on the west side was relatively weak. He immediately changed his original plan and decided to outflank the enemy from the west to catch them off guard.

"First Battalion, follow me!" Zhang Ling led the soldiers of the First Battalion and quietly went around to the west side of Cangyun Ridge.
