Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 325: Face or No Face

"Wu Ren, don't say that. Why should we be polite to each other? Why should we save face?" Zhang Ling consoled him with a firm look in his eyes. "Don't worry, I will definitely help you through this difficult time. Although our army is short of supplies, we will never let your family go hungry."

When Wu Ren heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He put down the cup in his hand and said with a sob, "Brother Zhang Ling, I came to you this time with my last hope. I know that military supplies are precious, and I really don't want to drag you down, but... I really have no choice."

Zhang Ling sighed softly and patted Wu Ren's shoulder, his tone was gentle and firm, "Wu Ren, stop talking about this. We are old friends, I will help you if I can. In times of war, everyone will inevitably encounter difficulties. You can rest here for a few days, I will arrange for someone to send some food and necessities back to help you through this difficult time."

Wu Ren nodded, his eyes full of gratitude, "Brother Zhang Ling, thank you so much. Although we have been friends for many years, this time... I really owe you a favor."

Zhang Ling smiled and shook his head. "Wu Ren, this is not a matter of favoritism. We are brothers and comrades-in-arms. We don't help each other for these reasons. Don't worry about it. I will arrange everything."

After that, Zhang Ling stood up, walked outside the tent, and called a soldier to come over. "Go and notify the logistics department and ask them to prepare a batch of food and some daily necessities and send them to Wu Ren's village as soon as possible. Also, arrange a tent for Wu Ren so that he can have a good rest for a few days."

The soldier nodded and quickly went to carry out the task. Zhang Ling turned back to the tent and saw Wu Ren still sitting there, looking a little dazed.

"Wu Ren, don't think too much for now. Take a good rest for a few days. When you recover, I will send you back to the village." Zhang Ling said softly, with a hint of warmth in his tone.

Wu Ren raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude and emotion, "Brother Zhang Ling, I really don't know how to thank you. You have been fighting on the front line, and you still worry about my affairs. It really makes me feel ashamed."

Zhang Ling waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why thank you? Do we need to be so polite? Don't worry, take care of yourself first. Although our place is simple, at least you can have enough food and sleep well."

Wu Ren finally showed a long-lost smile and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I also know that I will only drag you down like this, but I really can't hold on any longer."

Zhang Ling patted Wu Ren's shoulder, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "We are all people struggling in the wind and rain, no one should say whether we are a burden or not. You and I are both fighters, as long as we have a breath left, we must continue to live."

Wu Ren nodded deeply, tears flashing in his eyes, "Brother Zhang Ling, I will definitely make it through. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up."

Zhang Ling smiled slightly, turned to Wu Ren and said, "Okay, let's make a vow here, brothers, that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will never give up. Now you take a rest, and I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Wu Ren looked at Zhang Ling gratefully, nodded and said, "Brother Zhang Ling, don't worry, I won't let myself fall again."

Zhang Ling nodded and watched Wu Ren walk out of the tent. The night wind blew gently, and Zhang Ling stood at the door of the tent, looking deeply into the distant sky, feeling heavy in his heart. Wu Ren's predicament made him more aware of the cruelty brought by the war. Not only the soldiers on the front line, but also the people in the rear were experiencing endless suffering.

"The world is so difficult, but people still insist on living." Zhang Ling thought silently in his heart. He knew that he had to work harder, not only to win the war, but also to allow friends like Wu Ren to live a stable life again.

The next morning, Zhang Ling came to Wu Ren's tent again and found that he had become much more energetic and his face was more lively. Zhang Ling walked over with a smile and asked, "Wu Ren, how do you feel? Did you rest well?"

Wu Ren nodded with a grateful smile on his face, "Brother Zhang Ling, thanks to you, I slept well last night. I will adjust myself well in the next few days and not let you worry."

Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. Don't be too anxious to go back. It's safe here. Get well first."

Wu Ren said gratefully: "Brother Zhang Ling, don't worry, I will never let myself fall again. I will also help you share some of the things within my ability, and I can't eat and drink for free."

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "If you want to help, that's fine. We are short of manpower, and if you help coordinate the logistics here, it can also reduce some of our burden."

Wu Ren nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best."

In the following days, Wu Ren gradually recovered his strength in the camp and began to actively participate in logistics work. Although he had not fully recovered, he still tried his best to help Zhang Ling and his troops and relieve their pressure.

Zhang Ling saw this and felt relieved. Although the situation was still grim, as long as everyone was united and faced it together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties. Wu Ren's arrival made Zhang Ling more determined. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would not give up easily.

"As long as there is hope, we will not fall." Zhang Ling said to himself silently in his heart. He knew that the road ahead was still full of thorns, but he was confident that he could lead this team to the dawn of victory.

Zhang Ling found a weakness in the enemy and decided to launch a massive attack.

The night was as dark as ink, with only a few lights flickering in the camp. Zhang Ling stood in front of the map, his brows furrowed, his eyes shining with determination. A bold plan was surging in his mind - an action that could determine the entire battle situation. After many days of observation and analysis, he finally found a fatal weakness in the enemy's defense line.

Zhang Ling raised his hand and pointed to a point marked on the map. He said in a low but firm voice: "Here is the enemy's logistics supply line. We have been fighting the enemy head-on, but their supply line has remained stable. This is their lifeline. As long as we can cut off this supply line, their frontline troops will be isolated and helpless and eventually collapse."

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao stood on either side of Zhang Ling, listening carefully to his analysis. Li Yunlong spoke first: "Captain, do you mean that we should send an elite force to go around the enemy's rear and directly cut off their supply lines while making a feint attack on the front?"

Zhang Ling nodded, his eyes flashing with calm wisdom. "That's right. On the front battlefield, we will continue to exert pressure to create the illusion that the enemy cannot split up. The actual attack will be led by the two of you. Go around from the flank and directly attack their supply lines. This operation must be swift and covert, and the enemy must not be aware of it in advance."

Zhang Dabiao frowned, and said with a cautious tone: "Captain, this plan is indeed brilliant, but it is also very risky. If our actions on the flank are detected by the enemy, it may expose loopholes in our own defense line, and the pressure on the front line will increase accordingly."

Zhang Ling knew Zhang Dabiao's concerns very well. He nodded slowly, his tone still firm, "Dabiao, you are right. This operation does have great risks. But on the battlefield, there is never a 100% certainty. We need to take risks and seize opportunities at critical moments to win."

Li Yunlong's eyes were sparkling at this moment. He clenched his fists, his face full of fighting spirit. "Captain, don't worry, Da Biao and I will complete the mission and will never hold you and our brothers on the front line back! As long as we cut off their supply lines, the enemy will not be able to survive even if they have strong soldiers!"

Zhang Ling smiled slightly. Feeling the determination of his comrades, he also felt a strong desire to fight. "Okay, now that everyone knows the importance of this operation, let's start the detailed deployment now. Da Biao, you lead a lightly armed elite force to bypass the enemy's main defense line from the northwest. Yunlong, you lead another force to make a feint attack from the southeast to attract the enemy's attention."

Zhang Dabiao nodded solemnly, "Understood, Captain, I will do my best."

Li Yunlong said without hesitation: "Captain, we must catch them off guard this time!"

Zhang Ling continued to draw two routes on the map. "You two teams must keep communication open and report the situation in a timely manner. If you encounter any force majeure on the way, you must be flexible and never fight hard. Especially when you are close to the enemy's supply line, you must move quickly and retreat after the battle. Don't fight to the end."

"Captain, don't worry about leaving this task to us!" Li Yunlong assured again, his tone full of confidence.

Zhang Ling's eyes were deep. "I believe in your ability. Once we succeed here, the enemy will be unable to continue to hold on, and the rest of the battle will end quickly."

As the night deepened, Zhang Ling stood in the headquarters, looking out the window at the night sky, feeling a little heavy in his heart. Although he was confident in the plan, he knew that the battlefield was cruel and ruthless, and every decision could bring unpredictable consequences.

"Captain, do you have anything else to tell me?" Li Yunlong asked softly when he saw Zhang Ling's pensive expression.

Zhang Ling was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Yunlong, Dabiao, this operation is very critical, you must be careful. I hope you can all return safely."

Zhang Dabiao smiled and patted his chest, "Captain, don't worry, we will never let you down!"

Li Yunlong also nodded firmly, "We will definitely complete the mission and bring back victory."

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, his eyes showing determination, "Okay, let's go, I hope we can all win the battle."
