Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 345: Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom

Zhang Ling felt a pain from being grabbed by Kong Jie, but he still patiently explained, "It's absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? I risked my life to get this plan, so don't let me work in vain!"

Kong Jie realized that he had lost his composure and quickly let go of his hand, but his expression became even more serious. "Damn it, these little devils are really haunting us!" He gritted his teeth and said, "If they succeed this time, our base will be finished!"

"So, we have to find a way to get this plan to the brigade commander so that he can prepare early!" Zhang Ling said, "Only in this way can we be invincible in the face of the Japanese attack!"

Kong Jie nodded. He also knew the seriousness of the matter. But how could he get this plan to the brigade commander safely? This was a difficult problem!

Seeing Kong Jie frowning, Zhang Ling knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Old Kong, I've already thought about it, and I still need your help with this!"

"What bad plans are you up to?" Kong Jie looked at Zhang Ling suspiciously. This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, who knows what he is planning.

Zhang Ling chuckled, leaned close to Kong Jie's ear and whispered a few words.

"What?!" Kong Jie's eyes widened after hearing Zhang Ling's words, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Are you crazy?! This is too risky!"

Zhang Ling was full of confidence: "Fortune comes with risk! Besides, this plan is related to the safety of the entire base. We can't just watch the Japanese succeed, right?"

Kong Jie hesitated. It was not that he was afraid of death, but this matter was too dangerous. If something went wrong, both of them would lose their lives!

"Old Kong, are you scared?" Zhang Ling looked at Kong Jie with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"Who... who is afraid?!" Kong Jie was immediately aroused by his competitive spirit. "When have I ever been afraid? Damn it! Isn't it just a life-and-death battle with the Japanese? I will fight to the end!"

"Great! This is the old Kong I know!" Zhang Ling patted Kong Jie on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go back and prepare, and try to set off tomorrow!"

The next night, it was pitch black, and in a forest outside the independent regiment's base, two figures were groping forward stealthily.

"Old Kong, are you sure this road can lead to Black Wind Village?" Zhang Ling lowered his voice and asked Kong Jie beside him.

Kong Jie observed his surroundings vigilantly and whispered, "Don't worry, I've walked this road many times. It's absolutely safe!"

Zhang Ling nodded, but he was still a little unsure. Heifengzhai was a famous bandit den nearby, and the bandit leader Heifeng who was entrenched there was a ruthless character who would kill without blinking an eye. In order to send out the plan safely this time, Zhang Ling had to take a risk and choose to cooperate with this gang of bandits.

"Stop! Who is it?"

Just as the two were groping forward, a loud shout suddenly came from the front, and then several dark shadows rushed out from the woods and surrounded Zhang Ling and Kong Jie.

"Don't do anything, we are one family!" Kong Jie quickly raised his hands, signaling the other party not to act rashly.

"Our own people? Which department? Why haven't I seen you before?" The leader, a burly man with a full beard, pointed at Kong Jie and Zhang Ling with a big knife, and asked in a bad tone.

"We are from the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment," Kong Jie explained quickly, "We came here to discuss important matters with Heifeng, the leader of your Heifeng Village!"

"Looking for our boss?" The bearded man looked Kong Jie and Zhang Ling up and down, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "What do you want from our boss?"

"This..." Kong Jie glanced at Zhang Ling, not knowing how to explain.

"We have a batch of goods and would like to do business with your boss." Seeing this, Zhang Ling quickly stepped forward and said.

"Doing business?" When the bearded man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and his tone softened a little, "What goods? Take them out and let me see!"

Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "This batch of goods is rather special and it is not convenient to trade here. Please inform us and tell us that we have a big deal. We guarantee that your boss will be satisfied!"

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said to a bandit behind him, "Go, tell the boss that someone is looking for him to do business!"

The bandit responded and turned and ran deep into the woods...

"Old Kong, I plan to..." Zhang Ling leaned close to Kong Jie's ear, lowered his voice, and told him his plan.

As Kong Jie listened, his eyes widened and the expression on his face became more and more exciting, from shock at first, to excitement later, and finally turned into a kind of fanaticism that was almost crazy.

"You kid... you kid are really a genius!" Kong Jie slapped Zhang Ling on the shoulder with such force that Zhang Ling almost fell to the ground. "If this plan succeeds, I will definitely reward you!"

"Hey, brother, let's not rush about the reward. Let's think about how to get this done first." Zhang Ling said with a smile, rubbing his shoulder that was hurt by the pat.

"You're right, let's get down to business first!" Kong Jie rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes gleaming, "Just tell me, how do you need me to cooperate with you?"

Zhang Ling's plan was very bold, even crazy. He planned to use his knowledge of the terrain of the Sakata Brigade Headquarters and the patrol patterns of the Japanese to disguise himself as a Japanese officer, sneak into the Sakata Brigade Headquarters, and then cooperate with the outside to wipe out the Sakata Brigade Headquarters!

This plan is very risky. If we are not careful, it will be exposed. By then, let alone taking down the Sakata Regiment's headquarters, it will be a question whether we can get out alive.

But high risk also means high rewards. If the plan succeeds, the benefits will be huge. Not only can a large amount of supplies be seized, but the command system of the Sakata Regiment can also be severely damaged, creating favorable conditions for future battles.

"Old Kong, I need you..." Zhang Ling told Kong Jie his plan in detail, including where the independent regiment's cooperation was needed, as well as possible unexpected situations and countermeasures.

Kong Jie listened very carefully, nodded from time to time, and occasionally put forward some of his own ideas and suggestions. The two of them discussed back and forth like this until it was getting dark, and finally finalized all the details.

"Okay, let's do it!" Kong Jie slapped his thigh, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Just wait for my good news!"

......

Two days later, night fell and the sky was dotted with stars.

In a forest not far from the Sakata Regiment Headquarters, Zhang Ling and several soldiers from the independent regiment were lurking in the darkness. Each of their faces was covered with oil paint and they were wearing captured Japanese uniforms. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to tell their true identities.

"Captain, when are we going to start?" a soldier asked in a low voice, his nervousness barely concealed in his tone.

"Don't be impatient, wait a little longer." Zhang Ling said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the brightly lit Sakata Brigade Command in the distance, silently calculating the time in his heart.

"After a while, when the devils change their posts, we will take action!"

Time passed minute by minute, the lights in the Sakata Regiment's headquarters were still on, the Japanese sentries were still patrolling diligently, and everything seemed to be the same as usual, calm and peaceful.

However, beneath this seemingly calm surface, there is an undercurrent that is quietly surging, and a thrilling battle is about to begin...

"The Japs have changed guards, get ready for action!" Zhang Ling shouted in a low voice, stood up first, crouched down, and moved towards the Sakata Regiment's headquarters.

Several soldiers from the independent regiment followed closely behind, each of them holding a shining broadsword in their hands, with a gleam of fearlessness in their eyes.

Soon, they came to a place less than fifty meters away from the Japanese sentry post. Under the cover of night, they could clearly see the silhouette of the Japanese sentry post.

"Squad leader, deal with them!" Zhang Ling ordered in a low voice.

"Yes!" The squad leader agreed and took out a few throwing knives from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, the throwing knives turned into cold rays of light and shot towards the Japanese sentry.

"Puff puff!"

After a few soft noises, the Japanese sentry was hit in the vitals by a flying knife before he could react to what was happening, and fell limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling immediately rushed over with his soldiers, dragged the Japanese corpse aside, then quickly changed into the Japanese clothes and walked towards the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment in a swagger.

"Stop! Password!"

As soon as he reached the entrance of the command department, he was stopped by a Japanese sentry.

Zhang Ling's heart trembled, and he said calmly in Japanese: "Where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."

"Huh?" The Japanese sentry was stunned when he heard this. Why did this command seem a little wrong?

Just when he was about to interrogate him carefully, Zhang Ling's eyes flashed coldly. He suddenly pulled out the box from his waist and shot the Japanese sentry in the head.

"boom!"

"Hehe, wealth and honor come from risk!" Zhang Ling laughed and said, "What do you think? Old Kong, do you dare to do it?"

"Do it! Why don't you dare to do it? If you dare to do it, what else can I not dare to do?" Kong Jie slammed the table, and the teacup jumped up. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Damn it, I've been fed up with those sons of bitches for a long time. This time I'm going to have a good time with them!"

Zhang Ling leaned close to Kong Jie's ear and lowered his voice, but his tone was full of madness, "Old Kong, this time we are not only going to take away Sakata's supplies, we are also going to..."
