Chapter 386 The risk is too great.
"Captain, think about it, if we really wipe out the Sakata Regiment, it will be a great achievement! At that time, our 772nd Regiment will no longer have to worry about being swallowed up by others!"
Zhang Ling's words were like heavy bombs that exploded in Kong Jie's heart. How could he not know what it meant to completely wipe out the Sakata Brigade? That would be a huge achievement!
But the risk is too great...
Kong Jie frowned and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Ling didn't disturb him. He knew that Kong Jie had to figure this out on his own.
Time passed minute by minute, and the room became eerily quiet, with only the sound of Kong Jie's heavy breathing and his fingers tapping on the table.
Finally, Kong Jie seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes sparkling, and said firmly: "Okay! Let's do it! I want to see whether you are capable or the Sakata team is tough!"
Hearing Kong Jie's words, Zhang Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He knew that his plan was successful.
The two gunshots sounded like thunderbolts in the quiet mountain area, startling the nearby birds and causing them to flee in all directions. In the thick smoke, Zhang Ling squinted his eyes and carefully observed the movement of the landslide.
"How about it? You should believe it now, right?" Xu Erniu wiped the dust off his face and said to Li Dazhuang proudly.
Li Dazhuang was still immersed in the fear of being raised as a stepmother by others, but at this moment he was also shocked by the huge noise. He murmured to himself: "This... This noise is too loud, Battalion Commander, are you going to..."
"What am I going to do? If I tell you, I'm afraid you two will be scared to death!" Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously and then lowered his voice, "I'm going to annihilate the Sakata Regiment right here!"
"What?!" Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang's eyes almost popped out, and their mouths were opened so wide that a big steamed bun could be stuffed in.
"Captain, you... you don't have a fever, do you?" Xu Erniu reached out and touched Zhang Ling's forehead. "The Sakata Brigade has more than 3,000 people. We can wipe them out with just a few dozen of us? Don't be ridiculous!"
"That's right, Battalion Commander, don't scare us. The Sakata Regiment is notoriously brutal. The number of people we have is not even enough to fill their teeth!" Li Dazhuang also echoed.
Zhang Ling rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "When have I ever lied to you? Don't you see who I am? I came here with the God of War system. It's easy for me to destroy the Sakata Unit, right?"
"God of War System?" Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang looked at each other in confusion.
"Hey, it's hard to explain to you two stupid people," Zhang Ling waved his hand, "Anyway, just follow my plan, and I promise to let you witness the birth of a miracle with your own eyes!"
......
At this time, the atmosphere in the Sakata Brigade Command Center was in chaos.
"Damn it! What's going on? Where does the shelling come from?" roared the wing commander, Sakata Nobutsu. He was originally leisurely tasting the sake he had looted from the local area, but was so frightened by the sudden shelling that he almost swallowed the glass.
"Reporting to His Excellency the Commander, judging from the sound, the shelling came from the southeast. The preliminary estimate is that it was the mortars of the Eighth Route Army!" a signalman reported in a panic.
"The Chinese mortars? Don't they know how many mortars they have? How dare they come and provoke our Imperial Japanese Army?" Sakata Nobutsu snorted disdainfully, "Immediately order the First Battalion and the Second Battalion to attack the bombardment site and make sure to destroy the Chinese artillery positions!"
"Hi!"
......
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese have moved out, with a total of two battalions of troops!" Li Dazhuang lay in the trench, observing the movements of the Japanese with a telescope, his tone full of worry.
"Don't panic, everything is within my expectations," Zhang Ling sneered, "Xu Erniu, prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
......
The Japanese came with great force and soon approached the position where Zhang Ling and his men were.
"Fight!" With Zhang Ling's order, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush opened fire one after another. Dense bullets poured out like raindrops, instantly knocking down the Japanese soldiers who were rushing in the front.
"Damn! Why is the Chinese firepower so strong?" The Japanese commander exclaimed and quickly ordered his troops to seek cover.
"Don't let them breathe, beat them hard!" Zhang Ling shouted loudly.
The soldiers fought more and more bravely, and bullets poured out like crazy, suppressing the Japanese offensive momentum.
However, the Japanese were a well-trained army after all, and after a brief panic, they quickly organized an effective counterattack. Mortars, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, and various weapons took turns to pour fire on Zhang Ling and his position.
For a moment, the sounds of explosions, gunshots, and screams intertwined together, like hell on earth.
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese's firepower is too strong. We can't hold on any longer!" Li Dazhuang shouted anxiously. A shell landed not far from him. The shock wave from the explosion knocked him to the ground, and his ears were buzzing.
Zhang Ling frowned, he knew that fighting hard was definitely not a solution, he had to find a way to break out.
"Xu Erniu, take your brothers and retreat first, I will cover your retreat!" Zhang Ling gave the order decisively.
"No, Captain, if you want to go, let's go together and leave you alone. We..."
"Stop talking nonsense and follow orders!" Zhang Ling shouted sternly, his eyes filled with unquestionable determination.
Xu Erniu wanted to say something else, but Zhang Ling pushed him away, "Go! This is an order!"
......
Watching Xu Erniu and others disappear into the night, Zhang Ling took a deep breath, picked up a submachine gun from the ground, and resolutely rushed towards the enemy's position...
Zhang Ling held a submachine gun and fired wildly at the Japanese soldiers who rushed up. The bullet shells jumped with scorching heat, slicing faint rays of light in the night. He knew in his heart that he was risking his life, but he had no choice, because behind him were his brothers, the last spark of this unit.
"Come on, you damned little devils!" Zhang Ling roared with red eyes, and the muzzle of his gun spewed out flames, devouring the devils one by one. He seemed to have turned into a killing machine, tirelessly harvesting the lives of the enemies.
However, two fists cannot beat four hands, the number of the devils is too large. Zhang Ling gradually had more wounds on his body, and blood stained his clothes red, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, he knew that once he fell, no one would be able to stop these beasts.
"Boom!" A mortar shell exploded not far from him. Zhang Ling was knocked to the ground by the huge shock wave, and the submachine gun in his hand was also blown away.
"Damn it!" Zhang Ling cursed inwardly and struggled to get up, but found that his vision was blurry, his ears were buzzing, and his whole body was sore and weak.
"It's over. I really have to die here..." Zhang Ling felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He still had so many things to do, and he hadn't driven those damn invaders out of China with his own hands. Was he going to die like this?
No! He is not willing to give in!
At this moment, a familiar roar suddenly came from a distance: "Cavalry Company, follow me and kill!"
"Is it Lao Li?" Zhang Ling perked up and forced himself to raise his head. He saw a dark group of figures in the distance, sweeping towards the Japanese position like a flood that broke through a dam.
The leader, holding a big knife and riding a tall horse, was Li Yunlong, the commander of the independent regiment!
"Hahaha, I'm not dead yet, and you bastards are here to take advantage of me, but don't you see who I am!" Li Yunlong laughed loudly, and the big knife in his hand flew up and down, chopping down the Japanese soldiers to the ground one by one.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the independent regiment rushed down the mountain like tigers, unstoppable, and the Japanese formation was broken in an instant.
"Damn it! It's Li Yunlong! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" When Sakata Nobutsu saw Li Yunlong's figure, he was so scared that he immediately ordered a retreat.
However, it's too late.
Li Yunlong led the independent regiment in pursuit and killing the Japanese all the way. The Japanese cried for their parents, threw away their weapons and suffered heavy casualties.
"Old Li, you're finally here. If you were a step later, I would be dead!" Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yunlong and said with a smile.
"You're lucky, you're still alive!" Li Yunlong got off his horse and walked to Zhang Ling's side. He looked him up and down, and frowned when he saw the injuries on his body. "How is it? Can you still walk?"
"It's okay, I won't die!" Zhang Ling shook his head and struggled to stand up, but it pulled the wounds on his body and made him grimace in pain.
"That's enough, stop holding on!" Li Yunlong helped him up. "Monk, hurry up and help Captain Zhang onto the horse. Let's go back to the village!"
"Yes!" Monk Wei responded, and hurried forward to help Zhang Ling onto a warhorse.
"Old Li, how did you know I was here?" Zhang Ling asked curiously as he let Monk Wei bandage his wound.
Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "I received an order from my superiors saying that you are leading your troops to fight the Japanese here, and asked me to come and support you. I didn't expect to arrive just in time!"
"So that's how it is..." Zhang Ling suddenly realized, but then he became confused, "That's not right, how did my superior know I was here? And why did he send you to support me?"
Hearing this, the smile on Li Yunlong's face gradually disappeared. He was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Ling, there are some things that I can't tell you now, but remember, someone doesn't want you to live..."
Zhang Ling's heart shuddered, a chill ran up from his feet to his head. He knew that he seemed to be involved in a huge conspiracy, and what was hidden behind this conspiracy?
Zhang Ling crouched down, using the cover of night to shuttle between the craters and corpses. The enemy's flares illuminated the battlefield as bright as day, and he had to be careful to avoid being exposed to the enemy's sight. The submachine gun in his hand had run out of bullets, and now he only had the grenade and a dagger on his waist.
