Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 6: One shot, kill or bury

Then, Zhang Ling looked at Xu Erniu and the others: "Do you trust me as the battalion commander?"

"If you believe me, then just do as I say. We can definitely wipe out the Sakata Brigade and avenge Captain Cheng and the others."

"Okay, Battalion Commander, we will all listen to you." Xu Erniu and others nodded.

Zhang Ling nodded: "Don't worry, if the plan fails, I am confident that I can lead you to break out from Yujialing."

Zhang Ling gave the 772nd Regiment the last retreat route - breaking out in the direction of Yujialing.

However, I don’t know whether this direction has been blocked by the puppet army. I can’t care about that now. I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate.

"Okay, then after the plan begins, everyone must follow me."

"Our people must not stay on the battlefield." Zhang Ling reminded.

"Why Captain?"

"You are stupid. There is a lot of coal and gas underneath where we are now."

"If it explodes, we will also be in trouble. Follow me and find a way to get into the safe trench. Even if there is an explosion, it will not affect us."

With the help of a bird's-eye view, Zhang Ling naturally knew where the entire Cangyun Ridge was safe and where it was unsafe.

This is why Zhang Ling asked Li Dazhuang to guard the fork in the road ahead at the beginning. That place is where the plan will be implemented later.

When Xu Erniu heard Zhang Ling's words, he was immediately shocked.

Captain Zhang was really ruthless. He almost sacrificed the last spark of the 772nd Regiment.

However, since Captain Zhang has already given the reminder, the plan must naturally be implemented steadily.

Afterwards, Zhang Ling issued a combat order, and Xu Erniu led the remaining Eighth Route Army soldiers and followed Zhang Ling to withdraw from this position and head towards Li Dazhuang's location.

From now on, the 772nd Regiment's counterattack plan officially began.

……

at the same time.

Inside the Sakata Brigade Headquarters.

Colonel Nobutsu Sakata of the Sakata Regiment was looking through a telescope at the last position held by the 772nd Regiment.

There had been no movement on the battlefield for a long time, and the bodies of Eighth Route Army soldiers and the Japanese devils were everywhere.

Seeing this scene, he also murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army soldiers would be so brave."

"Our army has such an advantage, but we still let them fight until now."

"However, no matter how brave they are, they are not as strong as our imperial warriors. In the end, our imperial warriors won this battle."

"It's just that there is no movement from the opposite side. It's really strange. Did they all retreat?"

The adjutant at the side came over and said, "Your Excellency, I doubt that the Eighth Route Army will retreat so easily."

"They must be planning some conspiracy."

Sakata Nobutsu smiled coldly: "When the war reaches this point, all conspiracies and tricks are useless."

"It must be said that the fighting spirit and combat quality of the Eighth Route Army are still worthy of recognition, but in front of the elite Sakata Regiment of the Empire, it is just like an egg hitting a stone."

The Japanese adjutant nodded: "The commander is right. There is an old Chinese saying: Catch the turtle in the jar."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Obviously, both of them believed that the complete annihilation of the 772nd Regiment was a sure thing.

However, the Japanese never expected that Zhang Ling was planning to completely wipe out the Sakata Regiment.

soon.

Zhang Ling, along with Xu Erniu and the remaining soldiers, have arrived at the position guarded by Li Dazhuang.

If Zhang Ling wanted to take down the Sakata Regiment's headquarters, he would have to lead the 3rd Battalion forward at least meters.

But according to his plan, there was no need to advance forward at all. He just needed to accurately hit the opponent's halfway up the hill.

The position that Li Dazhuang was guarding tightly was just right for accurately hitting the halfway point of the mountain.

After arriving at the designated location, Zhang Ling took a telescope and observed the slope about 600 meters away on the opposite side.

Then, he said to Xu Erniu who was standing beside him: "Erniu, do you see that hillside? Fire both shells at the same place."

"Yes, that hillside, both shots hit it."

"Retreat immediately after the fight. Don't linger. Got it?"

Xu Erniu nodded, displayed his professional ability, raised his thumb and aimed in the direction of the hillside.

"Captain, no problem. The mortar can hit the target. We have four shells."

"We can only fire two shots. We can't give the Japanese time to react. If we miss, we're all done." Zhang Ling said bluntly.

"What about the remaining two shells? Shall we take them back?" Xu Erniu was stunned.

"You are such a fool. These two shells are the lifeblood of our entire regiment. If you don't take them back, do you think you lost them?"

"Will you be able to live?" Zhang Ling was speechless.

Although there are definitely good things in the stores of the God of War system, thrift is something that is ingrained in the Chinese nation. We should save when we should and spend when we should!

Xu Erniu was scolded and was a little confused: "These two good shells were fired halfway up the hill. Isn't this a waste?"

Zhang Ling couldn't wait to say, "Don't waste time. Just fight me when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Xu Erniu, Li Dazhuang, I also told you clearly that if you hit it."

"My plan has been successful. Our 772nd Regiment will definitely get the support of the division headquarters to rebuild."

"If it doesn't work out, we'll just have to wait for someone else to take care of us and raise us as their stepmother."

When Li Dazhuang heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "I don't want to be raised by a stepmother, Xu Erniu, aim more."

Xu Erniu: "Look, my mortar skills are among the best in the brigade competition."

Afterwards, Xu Erniu began to set up the gun, adjusted the angle, raised his thumb, and aimed at the hillside designated by Zhang Ling.

everything's ready.

There was a clang.

The shell slid down into the barrel.

The sound of "gunfire".

The first artillery shell flew out directly from the barrel, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and landed accurately on the hillside halfway up the mountain.

Rumble…

There was a loud explosion and a flash of fire.

The shock wave generated by the explosion directly caused a large landslide on the hillside.

Wow...

A large amount of loess slid down from the hillside.

Zhang Ling saw Xu Erniu hit the target with one strike and immediately said, "Well done."

Xu Erniu didn't say anything and immediately fired the second shell.

pistol……

Rumble…

Another accurate hit on the hillside, this time, a loud bang was followed by a roar.

There was another landslide.

A large amount of loess tilted down.
