Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 513: Mission of Revenge

On a dark night, Zhang Ling was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ling rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door.

Standing at the door was a soldier covered in blood. He gasped and said, "Report... Report to Commander Zhang... Commander Li... Commander Li... He... He..."

"What's wrong with Captain Li?" Zhang Ling's heart tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Captain Li...he...he was captured by the Japanese..." the soldier said intermittently.

"What?!" Zhang Ling suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted angrily, "What did you say? Say it again!"

The soldier was so scared that he was shaking all over and stammered, "Captain Li... Captain Li... when he was breaking out... he was... surrounded by the Japanese... and then... and then..."

Zhang Ling's face turned pale instantly. He let go of the soldier and staggered back a few steps. He couldn't believe that Li Yunlong, who had always been brave and invincible, would be captured by the devils.

"Ruoyun..." Zhang Ling suddenly thought of Liu Ruoyun. He turned around abruptly and rushed out of the room.

He came to Liu Ruoyun's room, but found that the room was empty.

"Ruoyun! Ruoyun!" Zhang Ling shouted loudly, his heart filled with panic.

He rushed out of the yard and looked everywhere, but there was no sign of Liu Ruoyun.

Just then, he saw flames rising into the sky in the distance and deafening gunshots.

"Not good!" Zhang Ling's heart sank. He knew that the Japanese had already attacked.

He rushed towards the direction of the fire without hesitation. He knew that he must find Liu Ruoyun and rescue Li Yunlong.

He ran all the way, through the smoke-filled battlefield, dodging flying bullets.

Finally, he arrived at the place where the fighting was most intense.

He saw countless soldiers fighting bloody battles, he saw the ferocious faces of the devils, he saw...

He saw Liu Ruoyun.

Liu Ruoyun was holding a rifle and fighting the devils. Her body was covered in blood, but she was still brave and fearless, with murderous eyes.

Suddenly, a Japanese officer attacked from behind and slashed at Liu Ruoyun with a knife.

"Ruoyun!" Zhang Ling roared heartbreakingly.

At the critical moment, a figure flashed by and stood in front of Liu Ruoyun.

"Pfft..."

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh and blood splattering.

Zhang Ling was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes.

The person standing in front of Liu Ruoyun was actually... Li Yunlong.

"Old Li..." Zhang Ling's voice trembled. He couldn't believe that Li Yunlong, who had just been captured, would appear here.

Li Yunlong had a bayonet stuck in his body, and blood stained his uniform. But he grinned and said to Liu Ruoyun: "I... promised you... to take good care of her..."

After saying this, Li Yunlong's body slowly fell down.

"Old Li!" Zhang Ling rushed forward and hugged the fallen Li Yunlong.

"I'm fine..." Li Yunlong's voice became weaker and weaker. "You...you kid...you have to...take good care of...Ruoyun..."

"Lao Li! You will be fine! I will definitely save you!" Zhang Ling's tears burst out.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Yunlong's mouth, his eyes gradually became dull and finally lost their luster.

"Old Li!!!" Zhang Ling's mournful roar resounded through the sky.

At this moment, a mysterious man in a black cloak appeared silently at the edge of the battlefield. He looked at everything in front of him quietly, with a strange smile on his face...

Zhang Ling and Li Yunlong were both stunned, as if they were acupunctured. Liu Ruoyun's slender body seemed unusually firm at this moment, and her eyes flashed with a resolute light.

"Ruoyun, do you know what you are saying?" Zhang Ling grabbed Liu Ruoyun's hand, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and you are a girl..."

"It is precisely because swords have no eyes that I want to join you!" Liu Ruoyun interrupted Zhang Ling and said firmly, "I can't hide behind you anymore. I want to fight side by side with you to protect our homeland!" She turned her eyes to Li Yunlong, "Captain Li, please accept me!"

Li Yunlong stroked his chin and looked Liu Ruoyun up and down, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Little girl, your shoulder injury hasn't healed yet, and you still want to go to the battlefield? Don't hold us back when the time comes!"

Liu Ruoyun met Li Yunlong's gaze without fear, "Captain Li, although I am a woman, I am also a Chinese! I will not hold you back!"

Li Yunlong laughed loudly, "Great! You have ambition! I like women like you who are as brave as men! But let me be frank, the battlefield is no joke. If you are scared, don't cry!"

"I won't be afraid!" Liu Ruoyun said firmly.

Zhang Ling wanted to persuade her again, but was stopped by Liu Ruoyun's eyes. He knew that Liu Ruoyun's personality was like this. Once she made a decision, she would never change it easily.

"Okay," Zhang Ling sighed helplessly, "Since you have made up your mind, I respect your choice. But you must promise me to take good care of yourself."

Liu Ruoyun nodded, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her determination.

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder and said, "You are so lucky to have married such a courageous wife! Okay, you two can reminisce about the past. I'll go out and make some arrangements." After saying that, he turned around and left the clinic.

Only Zhang Ling and Liu Ruoyun were left in the clinic.

"Ruoyun..." Zhang Ling gently stroked Liu Ruoyun's cheek, "Have you really thought it through?"

Liu Ruoyun nodded and gently leaned her head on Zhang Ling's chest, "I've made up my mind. Brother Ling, let's fight together and drive the devils out of China together!"

Zhang Ling hugged Liu Ruoyun tightly, his heart full of emotion and worry. He didn't know what would happen in the future, but he knew that no matter what happened, he would protect Liu Ruoyun.

The next day, Zhang Ling and Liu Ruoyun followed Li Yunlong's team and left the town.

Liu Ruoyun put on a military uniform, looking heroic and valiant, completely without the frailty she had before. She followed the troops on the march and in training, and soon adapted to the life in the army.

Relying on his military knowledge and experience from his previous life, Zhang Ling quickly gained Li Yunlong's appreciation and was appointed as a staff officer.

In the following days, Zhang Ling and Liu Ruoyun fought side by side, experienced one battle after another, witnessed the cruelty of war, and felt the friendship between comrades-in-arms.

They once hid in the trenches together, listening to the whistling of artillery shells, encouraging and comforting each other.

They once charged into battle together and fought bloody battles. They were fearless in order to defend their homes and to protect each other.

During a battle, Zhang Ling and Liu Ruoyun were surrounded by the Japanese.

"Ruoyun, hurry up and leave! I'll cover you!" Zhang Ling pushed Liu Ruoyun behind him and shot.

"No! Let's go together!" Liu Ruoyun also raised her gun and fought side by side with Zhang Ling.

Bullets whizzed past them and the sound of artillery shells exploding was deafening.

Suddenly, a bullet hit Liu Ruoyun's left arm.

"Ah!" Liu Ruoyun let out a scream and the gun in her hand fell to the ground.

"Ruoyun!" Zhang Ling hugged Liu Ruoyun and shouted anxiously, "How are you?"

Liu Ruoyun's face was pale, and her forehead was covered with sweat, but she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and said: "I... I'm fine..."

"Don't be so stubborn!" Zhang Ling tore off the cloth strips on his body and bandaged Liu Ruoyun's wound.

Just then, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed over.

"It's over..." Zhang Ling's heart sank. He knew that they probably couldn't escape this time...

He hugged Liu Ruoyun tightly, closed his eyes, and waited for death to come...

However, at this critical moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed over fell to the ground one after another.

Zhang Ling opened his eyes and saw Li Yunlong rushing towards him with a group of soldiers.

"You are so lucky!" Li Yunlong walked up to Zhang Ling and laughed, "I saved your life again!"

Zhang Ling looked at Li Yunlong, his heart full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Lao Li..."

"Why thank you?" Li Yunlong waved his hand. "We are all brothers! By the way, how is this little girl?"

"She..." Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruoyun, only to see that she had fainted.

"Doctor! Call a doctor!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

......

Liu Ruoyun's injuries were very serious. The bullet was stuck in the bone and required surgery to remove it.

However, the medical conditions on the battlefield were poor and there were no conditions for surgery.

"What should we do?" Zhang Ling asked anxiously, "Is there...is there no other way?"

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said, "There is a way, but... it's very dangerous..."

"What method?" Zhang Ling asked hurriedly.

Li Yunlong pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "There is a Taoist temple on that mountain. It is said that there lives an old Taoist priest with excellent medical skills. Maybe... he can save Ruoyun..."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Zhang Ling said as he was about to carry Liu Ruoyun on his back.

"Wait!" Li Yunlong stopped Zhang Ling, "That mountain... is the devil's territory..."

Hearing this, Zhang Ling's heart sank suddenly...

Liu Ruoyun's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Zhang Ling and Li Yunlong were both stunned. They looked at Liu Ruoyun with surprise in their eyes.

"Ruoyun, what...what did you say?" Zhang Ling asked in disbelief.

"I said... I want to join you... I want to fight the Japanese together with you..." Liu Ruoyun repeated firmly.

Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruoyun with worry in his eyes. He knew that Liu Ruoyun was a gentle and kind woman, and she was not suitable for the cruelty of the battlefield.

"Ruoyun, you...you don't have to..." Zhang Ling wanted to dissuade her.

"No! I want to go!" Liu Ruoyun interrupted Zhang Ling, "I...I can't...watch helplessly...my relatives...my friends...being...tortured...by the devils..."

Liu Ruoyun's voice trembled and her eyes were filled with flames of hatred.

Zhang Ling was silent. He knew that deep in Liu Ruoyun's heart, there was a deep pain. Her family and friends all died in this war.

Li Yunlong looked at Liu Ruoyun, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He walked up to Liu Ruoyun, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Good girl! You have ambition! I like you!"

"But..." Li Yunlong changed the subject, "War is no joke. How can a girl like you handle it?"

"I...I can learn!" Liu Ruoyun said firmly, "I can...fight like a man!"

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Okay! I like your unwillingness to admit defeat! But... let me be frank, once you are on the battlefield... it won't be easy to turn back..."

"I'm not afraid!" Liu Ruoyun said without hesitation.

Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruoyun's determined eyes and knew that he could no longer change her decision.

"Okay..." Zhang Ling sighed and said, "Since you... have decided... I... I support you..."
