Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 347 Hiding in the Dark

"Damn, this guy is really a lunatic!" Kong Jie hid in the dark, looking at Zhang Ling who was like a killing god, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Captain, when are we going to attack?" a soldier asked eagerly.

"Wait a little longer, until the Japs become more chaotic, then we'll rush out and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Kong Jie calmly analyzed the battle situation. He knew that now was not the best time to charge.

Zhang Ling's sudden attack threw the Japanese troops into extreme chaos, but the Japanese's combat effectiveness was there after all. Soon, they reacted and began to organize a counterattack.

"Baga! Concentrate your firepower and kill him!" A Japanese officer spotted Zhang Ling, yelled loudly, and commanded the surrounding Japanese soldiers to fire at Zhang Ling.

"Da da da......"

Dense bullets shot towards Zhang Ling like raindrops. Zhang Ling had to temporarily give up the attack and use the surrounding trees and terrain to hide.

"Damn, the Japs' firepower is really strong!" Zhang Ling cursed inwardly while dodging bullets.

"We can't waste time with them any longer. We have to find a way to break out!" Zhang Ling was thinking about countermeasures while observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a carriage not far away.

“I got it!” Zhang Ling suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He took advantage of the moment when the Japanese firepower weakened slightly, rolled over, and hid behind a big tree. Then he quickly took out a grenade from his arms, pulled the fuse, and threw it hard at the carriage.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the carriage was blown to pieces, and the ammunition loaded on the carriage was detonated, causing a bigger explosion.

"Damn! It's an ammunition truck! Retreat quickly!" Upon seeing this, the Japanese officer's face changed drastically and he quickly ordered a retreat.

"Want to run? Too late!" Zhang Ling sneered, picked up a Type 38 rifle from the ground, and shot the fleeing Japanese officer.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the Japanese officer fell to the ground and never got up again.

"Kill!"

Seeing the Japanese begin to retreat, Kong Jie could no longer hold back. He led the soldiers of the independent regiment out from their hiding place and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese.

"Da da da......"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots and explosions rang out, and the whole valley was filled with deafening shouts of killing...

Zhang Ling took advantage of the chaos to run to the carriage loaded with supplies, lifted the oilcloth and took a look. He saw more than a dozen boxes of shells neatly stacked inside!

"Oh my goodness, I'm rich this time!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but grinning.

He knew that these artillery shells were precious treasures to the independent regiment!

"Zhang Ling, don't just stand there, retreat quickly!" At this time, Kong Jie ran over, grabbed Zhang Ling and said.

"Okay!" Zhang Ling agreed and ran after Kong Jie.

The two had not run far when they heard a loud explosion behind them.

"boom!"

I saw flames rising from the dozen or so carriages. The shock waves generated by the explosion knocked the surrounding trees to the ground.

"Oh my god, if we had run a little later, we would have died here!" Zhang Ling said with lingering fear.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" Kong Jie said unhappily.

The two men ran all the way and finally got rid of the Japanese pursuit and returned to the independent regiment’s base.

"How is it? Did you get a good harvest this time?" As soon as they returned to the base, Li Yunlong came up to Zhang Ling and Kong Jie and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, commander, just wait and see!" Zhang Ling smiled proudly, and then reported the results of the battle to Li Yunlong.

"What?! You guys actually got more than a dozen boxes of artillery shells?!" After listening to Zhang Ling's report, Li Yunlong's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Hehe, Captain, this is all thanks to you!" Zhang Ling said with a chuckle.

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Yunlong said three good words in a row, then patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder and said, "You kid, you have done a great job this time!"

"Hehe, this is what I should do!" Zhang Ling said modestly.

"Okay, stop showing off here and go to rest!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Ling agreed and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhang Ling's departing back, Li Yunlong showed a relieved smile on his face.

"This kid is really becoming more and more mature!" Li Yunlong said in his heart.

......

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

The scenes of the battle during the day kept appearing in his mind.

He knew that the war was far from over and he still had more important tasks to accomplish...

"Little Japs, just wait and see. One day, I will drive all of you out of China!" Zhang Ling clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

boom!

The explosion of the grenade was particularly harsh in the silent night, and the Japanese troops immediately fell into chaos. Zhang Ling took advantage of the chaos to sneak to a carriage, lifted the oilcloth and saw a box full of Type 38 rifles, brand new and shiny.

"Damn, the Japs are well-equipped!" Zhang Ling picked up a Type 38 rifle, pulled the bolt, and fired a shot at the fleeing Japs.

"boom!"

A Japanese soldier fell to the ground.

Zhang Ling held the gun and moved through the chaotic Japanese army like a nimble cheetah. Every time he pulled the trigger, a Japanese soldier would fall down.

"Damn it! It's a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army! Hurry, protect the ammunition and supplies!" The Japanese officer waved his command knife and shouted at the top of his lungs.

However, his order was soon drowned out by the deafening shouts of killing. Soldiers of the independent regiment rushed out from all directions, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

"Kill!"

Kong Jie led the soldiers to charge forward, the Mauser pistol in his hand spewing out angry flames.

"Old Kong, you're great. You got here so quickly!" Zhang Ling saw Kong Jie and greeted him with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, kid! Get to work! Don't let the Japanese run away!" Kong Jie said unhappily.

"Okay!" Zhang Ling agreed and continued shooting at the crowd of Japanese devils.

The Japanese were defeated step by step under the fierce attack of the independent regiment, suffering heavy casualties.

"Commander, we...we can't hold on any longer! Request for retreat!" A Japanese squad leader ran up to the Japanese officer and said with a sad face.

"Baga! Retreat! Retreat!" The Japanese officer also knew that the situation was hopeless and had no choice but to order a retreat.

The remaining Japanese soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled in panic. The independent regiment pursued them and killed them so badly that they cried for their parents.

In this battle, the Independent Regiment won a great victory, seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and military supplies, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders.

......

"Zhang Ling, you are great! Thanks to you, we were able to fight such a beautiful battle this time!" After the battle, Kong Jie patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder and laughed.

"It's all thanks to the commander's good command. I just contributed a little." Zhang Ling said modestly.

"Don't be so modest. How could I not know who you are?" Kong Jie smiled and shook his head. "But seriously, you have done a great deed this time! I will definitely ask my superiors for credit for you!"

"There's no need to ask for credit. As long as I can defeat the Japanese, I'll be satisfied." Zhang Ling waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"You kid..." Kong Jie shook his head helplessly. He knew Zhang Ling's character and it would be useless no matter how much he said.

"By the way, Lao Kong, I heard that Li Yunlong is doing very well now. He has even become the commander of the New 1st Regiment!" Zhang Ling suddenly remembered something and asked.

"That's right, that kid is lucky and got a good opportunity." Kong Jie said with a hint of envy, "But that kid is really capable. He managed to take down Ping'an County last time!"

"Ping'an County? That's a tough nut to crack! Li Yunlong is really good, he's quite capable!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but admire Li Yunlong's battle record when he heard about his achievements.

"That's right. Now everyone in northwest Shanxi knows the name of Li Yunlong!" Kong Jie sighed. "It would be great if our independent regiment could fight a few good battles and make those who look down on us shut up!"

"Don't worry, Lao Kong, our chance will come soon!" Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with a gleam, "I have a feeling that a bigger storm is coming..."

......

A few days later, Zhang Ling received an unexpected task...

boom!

The fire from the grenade explosion lit up half the sky, and the Japanese troops suddenly fell into chaos.

"Baga! What's going on? Where did the grenade come from?!" the Japanese officer shouted in panic.

"Commander, it's the Eighth Route Army! It's the Eighth Route Army!" A Japanese soldier shouted in horror, pointing at the dark woods in the distance.

"Baga! Don't worry about them, retreat quickly!" The Japanese officer didn't care about anything else at this time and ordered the troops to retreat quickly.

However, it was too late.

"Fire!"

Following Kong Jie's order, the soldiers of the independent regiment ambushed on both sides pulled the trigger one after another, and dense bullets poured towards the Japanese troops like raindrops.

"Da da da......"

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, there was a burst of gunfire, screams, and wails.

The Japanese troops, which were already in chaos, were completely defeated under the fierce firepower attack of the independent regiment soldiers, with heavy casualties.

"Kill!"

Zhang Ling rushed out from the darkness, wielding a captured box in his hand with great vigor, and each shot accurately took the life of a Japanese soldier.

"Hahaha! Little Japs, come on! Grandpa is here!" Zhang Ling fired and loudly provoked the Japs.

"Baga! Kill him for me!" the Japanese officer roared in frustration.

Several Japanese soldiers with bayonets in hand rushed towards Zhang Ling.

"Well done!"

Zhang Ling sneered and pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand continuously, killing all the Japanese soldiers.

"Hehe, you little Japs, you want to kill me with just this little ability? You really overestimate your abilities!" Zhang Ling blew at the muzzle of the gun and said disdainfully.

"idiot!"
