Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 414: Flattering

"Of course not!" Zhang Ling said, "We have to follow him and see what he is going to do."

The three of them quietly followed the soldiers to the division headquarters.

The soldiers reported the discovery of the arsenal to the division commander, who was overjoyed and immediately sent a company of soldiers to receive the weapons and ammunition.

Zhang Ling and the other two hid in the dark, feeling secretly proud as they watched teams of soldiers leave carrying weapons and ammunition.

"Battalion Commander, when are we going to get the good things we have hidden?" Xu Erniu asked.

"Don't worry." Zhang Ling said, "Let's go after they transport all these ordinary weapons and ammunition away."

"Battalion Commander, you are so smart!" Xu Erniu looked at Zhang Ling with admiration.

"Yes, battalion commander, you are simply the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!" Li Dazhuang also followed suit to flatter him.

Zhang Ling laughed out loud, feeling secretly happy.

After the soldiers from the division headquarters left, Zhang Ling and his two companions returned to the cave, found the location marked on the treasure map, and dug out the hidden weapons and ammunition.

The most valuable of them is a Maxim heavy machine gun and a box of matching bullets.

This Maxim heavy machine gun was specially hidden by Zhang Ling. He planned to use it to form a special forces team of his own.

With this special forces, he can better protect himself and realize his revenge plan in this chaotic world.

The three men moved the Maxim heavy machine gun and bullets out of the cave and were about to leave when they suddenly heard footsteps.

"Who?" Zhang Ling asked vigilantly.

"It's me." A familiar voice came.

Zhang Ling turned around and was stunned.

The person who came was actually...

The chaotic footsteps outside the cave entrance were getting closer and closer, mixed with the whispers of soldiers. Zhang Ling and the other two looked at each other, and saw a hint of nervousness in each other's eyes. After hiding the treasure, would the remaining ordinary weapons and ammunition be enough to exchange for some benefits?

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are coming?" Xu Erniu swallowed nervously and his hand unconsciously reached for the Mauser pistol at his waist.

"Don't panic, they are one of our own." Zhang Ling pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating fast. Whether his treasure map trick could be concealed from the world depended on what happened next.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the cave, and a rough voice sounded: "Is there anyone inside?"

Zhang Ling cleared his throat and answered loudly: "It's our people! The Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition rushed into the cave entrance. Leading them was a burly man with a full beard. He was the commander of the independent regiment, Zhou Dahu, known as the "Butcher".

As soon as Zhou Dahu entered the cave, he was stunned by the piles of weapons and ammunition. He opened his eyes wide and his mouth wide open, unable to speak for a long time.

"Report to the regiment commander, we discovered this Japanese arsenal while on patrol!" Zhang Ling stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted, with a proud look on his face.

Zhou Dahu finally came to his senses and stepped forward to pat Zhang Ling on the shoulder: "Good boy! Well done! Now our independent regiment is going to be prosperous!"

He turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry and move all these treasures back!"

The soldiers immediately cheered and began to move weapons and ammunition in a hurry.

Zhang Ling watched from the side, sneering in his heart. These were just ordinary stuff, the real good stuff was still in the place marked on his treasure map.

Zhou Dahu picked up a box of bullets and suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned around and asked Zhang Ling: "By the way, how did you find this arsenal?"

Zhang Ling rolled his eyes and made up a story: "Report to the regiment commander, we discovered it by accident when we were chasing a group of fleeing devils."

"The Japanese soldiers who were fleeing?" Zhou Dahu frowned. "Why haven't I heard of any Japanese soldiers fleeing?"

"Uh..." Zhang Ling was speechless for a moment, and quickly added, "It might be a small force. We didn't have time to ask in detail, so..."

Zhou Dahu looked at Zhang Ling suspiciously, but did not ask any more questions. After all, the arsenal was real, and that was the most important thing.

The weapons and ammunition were soon moved away. Zhou Dahu patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder again and said, "You have made a great contribution this time. I will definitely recommend you for the credit when I return!"

Zhang Ling was secretly happy, but he said modestly: "This is what I should do."

After Zhou Dahu and the soldiers left, Zhang Ling and the other two returned to the cave again.

"Battalion commander, when are we going to go treasure hunting?" Xu Erniu asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, wait until it gets dark." Zhang Ling said mysteriously, "This is a priceless treasure, we can't let anyone find it."

The sky gradually darkened, and the three of them took advantage of the night to grope their way to the location marked on the treasure map.

It was an inconspicuous crooked tree with a loose stone under it.

Zhang Ling followed the instructions on the treasure map, moved the stone, and a hole suddenly appeared underneath.

The three of them entered the cave, which turned out to be a small space with several wooden boxes stacked on top of each other.

Zhang Ling opened a wooden box, which was full of gold bars!

"Fuck!" Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang exclaimed at the same time.

Zhang Ling picked up a gold bar, weighed it in his hand, and a greedy smile appeared on his face.

This is the real good stuff!

With these gold bars, he can...

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the cave.

"Who?" Zhang Ling's face changed and he shouted sternly.

There was no answer, only the sound of footsteps getting closer.

Zhang Ling had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly put the gold bars back into the box and said to Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang, "Quick, seal the hole!"

The three of them worked together to push the stone back to its original position and blocked the cave entrance tightly.

Outside the cave, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the entrance.

A cold voice sounded: "Listen, everyone inside. I know you are in there! Come out and surrender obediently, and maybe you can still survive!"

Zhang Ling and the other two looked at each other in the cave, and their faces turned very ugly.

Judging from the voices, there seemed to be more than one person outside, and they were not friendly.

Who are they and how did they know they were here?

Could it be... Zhou Dahu?

Zhang Ling's heart sank. It seemed that he had underestimated Zhou Dahu's greed.

He originally thought that as long as he handed over ordinary weapons and ammunition, he would be able to hide the truth, but he didn't expect that Zhou Dahu still discovered their secret.

Now, they were trapped in this small cave, with no way out.

The people outside were still shouting, their voices becoming more and more impatient:

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

As soon as the voice fell, a loud noise came from outside the cave...

The footsteps outside the cave were getting closer and closer. Zhang Ling and the other two immediately became nervous and clenched their guns.

"Who?" Zhang Ling shouted in a low voice.

There was silence outside the cave for a moment, and then a familiar voice came: "It's me, Lao Zhao!"

Zhang Ling and the other two immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as the person who came was none other than their commander Zhao Gang.

"Commander, why are you here?" Zhang Ling turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the cave entrance.

Zhao Gang walked in with a few guards, and his eyes widened when he saw the mountains of weapons and ammunition.

"Wow! So many good stuff!" Zhao Gang rubbed his hands excitedly, "You three guys are really lucky!"

Zhang Ling chuckled: "It's all thanks to the commander's good leadership!"

"Stop flattering me!" Zhao Gang scolded with a smile, "Tell me, how did you find out?"

Zhang Ling briefly recounted what had happened. Of course, he concealed the matter of the treasure map.

After listening to this, Zhao Gang praised Zhang Ling even more: "You are getting smarter and smarter!"

"Hehe..." Zhang Ling scratched his head, feeling secretly proud.

Zhao Gang immediately ordered the guards to start moving weapons and ammunition, and Zhang Ling and the other two followed to help.

"Oh, by the way, Commander, this Type 92 infantry gun..." Zhang Ling pointed at the Type 92 infantry gun and said hesitantly, "This thing is too heavy, I'm afraid we can't transport it back..."

Zhao Gang took a look at the Type 92 infantry gun, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's a problem... How about this, let's leave this gun here for now and transport it back when we have the chance."

Zhang Ling was secretly delighted, this was exactly what he wanted!

"Commander, you are wise!" Zhang Ling flattered him quickly.

After the weapons and ammunition were moved, Zhao Gang left with his guards.

Zhang Ling and the other two returned to the armory and began looking for the "treasure" they had hidden.

"Battalion Commander, what exactly is on your treasure map?" Xu Erniu asked curiously.

"The secret cannot be revealed!" Zhang Ling said mysteriously.

"Tsk!" Xu Erniu curled his lips, "I think you just drew it randomly!"

Li Dazhuang also said: "That's right, Battalion Commander, don't keep us in suspense!"

Zhang Ling laughed loudly and without explaining, he found the place where the weapons were hidden according to the marks on the "treasure map".

What they hid were the shells from the Type 92 infantry gun!

"Damn! So many shells!" Xu Erniu and Li Dazhuang were stunned when they saw the box full of shells.

"Hehe, now we're rich!" Zhang Ling said with a proud smile.

With these shells, the Type 92 infantry gun can finally be put to good use!

The three hid the shells and left the armory.

For the next few days, Zhang Ling and the other two stayed in the camp, waiting for an opportunity.

They knew that the Japanese would not give up and would definitely attack again.

What they have to do is to use this batch of weapons and ammunition to teach the Japanese a severe lesson!

A few days later, the Japs launched another attack.

This time, the Japanese attack was more fierce and their numbers were larger.

The camp where Zhang Ling and other two were located was the first to be hit and became the main target of the Japanese attack.

After the battle started, Zhang Ling and the other two immediately joined in.

With the newly captured weapons and ammunition, their combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.

Especially the Type 92 infantry gun, which played a huge role.

The shells whizzed towards the Japanese positions and blew their fortifications to pieces.

The Japanese were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
