Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 499 Abandoning Your Promise!

The woman said coldly: "I am the guardian of Cangyun Ridge. You have committed many evil things here. How can I just sit back and watch?"

The shell flew towards the pit, and just as it was about to fall in, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the pit and pushed the shell back!

"What is that?!" Zhang Ling exclaimed.

The shell drew an arc in the air and landed in the center of the Sakata Regiment's position.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang that shook the earth, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

Zhang Ling and others stared at this scene in amazement, unable to recover for a long time.

"This...what is going on?" Xu Erniu asked stutteringly.

Zhang Ling shook his head; he didn't understand the situation either.

When the smoke cleared, the Sakata Regiment's position had become a ruin, with broken limbs everywhere, a horrific sight.

"Damn it! What's going on? What happened?" Sakata Nobutsu crawled out of the rubble, his face covered in blood, looking like a madman.

He looked around and found that his troops were almost wiped out, with only a few remnants left.

"Report! Your Excellency the Captain, we have been attacked by unknown forces!" A wounded Japanese officer ran over to report.

"Unknown attack? What unknown attack?" Sakata Nobutsu roared.

"We don't know either. We only saw a black shadow falling from the sky, and then there was an explosion..."

Upon hearing this, Nobutsu Sakata's expression became even uglier.

He couldn't figure out what could cause such tremendous destructive power.

Could it be a new weapon of the Chinese army?

......

Zhang Ling and others looked at the tragic situation of the Sakata Corps, feeling shocked and confused.

"Battalion Commander, what is that black shadow?" Li Dazhuang asked curiously.

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know either, but it looks like it came out of the coal seam."

"In the coal seam? Could it be some kind of monster?" Xu Erniu widened his eyes.

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "It's very likely."

At this moment, there was an earthquake and the earth began to tremble violently.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Li Dazhuang shouted in horror.

"No! It's not an earthquake!" Zhang Ling said solemnly, "It's that thing!"

I saw a huge black shadow slowly rising from the pit, covering the sky and the sun, like a small mountain.

"Oh my god! What...what kind of monster is this?" Xu Erniu was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

The dark shadow slowly turned around, revealing a hideous face.

Its eyes were like two red lanterns, flashing an eerie light, and its mouth was full of sharp fangs, which made people shudder.

"Roar!"

The black shadow let out a deafening roar, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.

"Run!" Zhang Ling shouted, turned around and ran.

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang also reacted and crawled to escape with Zhang Ling.

The black shadow took huge steps and chased after them.

Its speed was amazing, and in the blink of an eye it caught up with Li Dazhuang, who was at the end of the list.

"what!"

Li Dazhuang let out a scream and was swallowed by the black shadow.

"Da Zhuang!" Xu Erniu shouted in grief.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth, suppressed the grief in his heart, and continued to run forward.

He knew that now was not the time to be sad, and the most important thing was to stay alive.

The black shadow chased Zhang Ling and Xu Erniu, rushing all the way, leaving a mess wherever it went.

Rocks collapsed and trees fell down, as if it was the end of the world.

Zhang Ling and Xu Erniu ran as hard as they could, but they knew that they would be caught up by the shadow sooner or later.

Just then, a turbulent river appeared ahead.

"Battalion Commander, let's jump into the river!" Xu Erniu said, pointing at the river.

Zhang Ling nodded and jumped into the river without any hesitation.

Xu Erniu followed closely and jumped into the river.

The shadow chased to the river, but stopped.

It seemed to be a little afraid of water and did not dare to go into the water easily.

Zhang Ling and Xu Erniu swam desperately in the river, hoping to escape from the clutches of the black shadow.

However, they soon discovered that they could not escape.

Although the black shadow did not dare to go into the water, it could use its huge body to stir the river water and create a huge whirlpool.

Zhang Ling and Xu Erniu were drawn into the whirlpool, unable to extricate themselves, and were about to be swept to the bottom of the river...

Just as the shell was about to fall into the pit, a crow flapped its wings and hit the shell head-on.

"Ga--" With a shrill bird cry, the trajectory of the shell deviated, brushed past the edge of the pit, and landed a few meters away.

"boom!"

There was an explosion and dust flew, but the expected gas explosion did not occur.

Zhang Ling sat down on the ground dejectedly, staring blankly at the explosion point in the distance, his heart filled with despair.

"It's over, it's over..."

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang were also dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the battalion commander's carefully planned plan failed.

At this moment, a shocking explosion suddenly came from the Sakata Regiment's position.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions continued, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire hillside began to tremble.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling stood up suddenly and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang were also stunned. They rubbed their eyes to make sure they were not seeing things.

The Sakata Regiment’s position actually exploded!

Moreover, the power of the explosion was far greater than they had expected.

"Could it be...?" Zhang Ling suddenly thought of something and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the place where the shell had landed. There, an inconspicuous little mound was emitting wisps of green smoke.

"It was that crow!" Zhang Ling shouted excitedly, "The crow knocked the shell off, and the shell detonated something else!"

Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang also reacted and jumped up excitedly.

"Captain, you are amazing! Even crows can help you!"

"Hahaha, this is called God helping me!" Zhang Ling laughed out loud, and the haze in his heart was swept away.

It turned out that after the crow hit the shell, it happened to fall near the ammunition depot hidden by the Sakata Regiment.

The ammunition depot exploded, triggering a chain reaction, and the entire Sakata Regiment's position turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Before Nobutsu Sakata and his Japanese soldiers could react, they were blown into the sky.

......

"Battalion Commander, we won!" Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang hugged each other excitedly and cheered.

Zhang Ling looked at the burning Sakata Regiment position with mixed feelings.

This victory came too suddenly and was too incredible.

He originally thought that he was doomed to die, but unexpectedly, the whole situation of the battle was turned around because of the unexpected appearance of a crow.

"It seems that God is still on our side." Zhang Ling murmured to himself.

......

The news of the Sakata Regiment's annihilation soon reached the island army headquarters.

"Damn it! That idiot Sakata was actually wiped out by the Chinese army!" Okamura Neiji was furious and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Commander, what should we do now?" the chief of staff asked cautiously.

Okamura Neiji took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Immediately mobilize the troops and launch a full-scale attack on Cangyun Ridge! I want to avenge Sakata!"

......

The victory in the Battle of Cangyunling greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese military and civilians.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters also highly praised Zhang Ling's heroic performance and awarded him the title of "Combat Hero".

However, Zhang Ling was not carried away by victory.

He knew that this was only the first step in a long journey.

The island army is still strong, and future battles will be even more brutal.

He must always remain vigilant and constantly improve his strength in order to ultimately defeat the enemy and complete his revenge.

......

One night, Zhang Ling sat alone on the top of a mountain, looking up at the starry sky.

"Dad, Mom, did you see that? I have avenged you!" Zhang Ling said in a low voice, tears flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt someone approaching from behind.

He turned around suddenly and saw a masked man in black standing behind him.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked vigilantly.

The masked man said nothing, but slowly took off his mask.

"It's you!" Zhang Ling widened his eyes in surprise.

Standing in front of him was someone he had never expected...

Zhang Ling widened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief - it was actually his father's murderer, Sato Ichiro!

Ichiro Sato, a senior officer of the island army, was the one who led his troops to massacre Zhang Ling's village and killed his parents with his own hands.

Zhang Ling thought that Ichiro Sato had died on the battlefield long ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive and appeared in front of him.

"Long time no see, Zhang Ling." Sato Ichiro showed a grim smile on his face, "I didn't expect that we could meet in this way."

Zhang Ling clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deeply into the flesh, and blood flowed through the gaps between his fingers.

He suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to take your life." Sato Ichiro's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "I let you escape by chance back then, but today, I won't let you go again."

"Then let's give it a try!" Zhang Ling roared, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and rushed towards Sato Ichiro.

Sato Ichiro also drew his samurai sword and rushed forward.

The two men fought fiercely on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Ling's moves were fierce and full of rage for revenge.

Ichiro Sato's swordsmanship is superb and every move is deadly.

The two men fought back and forth, with swords flashing and murderous intent.

Zhang Ling's body was soon cut with several wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood.

But he did not retreat at all, instead he became more and more courageous.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to kill Sato Ichiro and avenge his parents!

Ichiro Sato was also shocked by Zhang Ling's madness, and his movements began to become a little slow.

He realized that he had underestimated Zhang Ling's strength.

"Damn it!" Sato Ichiro cursed, suddenly took out a grenade from his arms and threw it at Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling was unable to dodge and was blown away by the grenade.

He fell heavily to the ground and felt that all the bones in his body were broken.

Ichiro Sato walked towards Zhang Ling step by step with a victorious smile on his face.

"It's over, Zhang Ling." Sato Ichiro raised his samurai sword, ready to give Zhang Ling the final blow.

At this moment, a crow suddenly fell from the sky and pecked at Sato Ichiro's eyes.

Sato Ichiro screamed and the samurai sword in his hand fell to the ground.
