Chapter 235 It’s Over
Li Yunlong also agreed: "Blind Cheng's tactics have always been reliable. I think this plan is feasible. We can send an elite force to bypass from the north to ensure that we will not be discovered by the enemy."
Zhang Ling's eyes were sharp as torches. He said slowly, "Okay, then we will follow Blind Cheng's suggestion and attack in two directions. Zhao Gang, you lead a commando team and start from the north. You must march in secret and try to launch an attack before the enemy reacts. Li Yunlong, you will be responsible for the feint attack on the southern front and try to attract the enemy's attention as much as possible to create opportunities for Zhao Gang."
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong responded in unison: "Yes, Chief!"
Zhang Ling continued, "This operation is very critical. It is related to whether we can seize the initiative in the battle. Everyone must remain highly vigilant and must not be negligent. We only have one chance. If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous."
Cheng Xiazi also added: "I will be responsible for the coordination of the headquarters to ensure that the actions of the two troops can be carried out synchronously. Everyone must confirm their respective tasks and routes again and again before taking action to avoid confusion."
Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction, his tone full of determination: "Everyone, we will start the action tonight. Everyone must be prepared to complete the raid before dawn, disrupt the enemy's deployment, and seize the initiative for the next battle."
After the meeting, Zhang Ling stayed alone in the headquarters, looking at the map with mixed feelings. He knew that the next battle would determine whether they could break the current deadlock and seize the initiative in the battle. Every step was crucial and there could be no negligence.
At this time, Li Yunlong came back and saw Zhang Ling still in deep thought. He said softly, "Commander, everyone is ready. You should also take a rest early. Tomorrow's battle will definitely be very difficult."
Zhang Ling smiled slightly and shook his head. "Yunlong, this operation is a huge responsibility, and I can't slack off. Every minute and every second before the battle may determine success or failure, and I must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Ling's expression and understood how much pressure Zhang Ling was under, but he also knew that Zhang Ling always led by example and would persevere to the end no matter how difficult it was. Li Yunlong stepped forward and said softly, "Commander, we will definitely succeed this time. Zhao Gang and I are ready and will never let you down."
Zhang Ling looked at Li Yunlong with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and said with firm confidence: "Yunlong, I believe in you. This operation must be successful in one go. We must not give the enemy any chance to breathe."
Li Yunlong nodded heavily, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, commander, we will definitely win this battle!"
That night, under the command of Zhang Ling, the troops quickly split into two groups and quietly moved westward. The commando led by Zhao Gang detoured from the north, using the cover of night and mountains to quietly approach the enemy's defense line. Li Yunlong led an elite force to launch a feint attack from the south to attract the enemy's attention.
Zhang Ling sat in the command center, monitoring the progress of the two troops through the radio, feeling nervous and anxious. He knew that the success or failure of this operation was not only related to whether they could seize the initiative in the battle, but also related to the lives of countless soldiers. Every order and every decision must be accurate.
"Zhao Gang, report your position." Zhang Ling whispered into the radio, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
Zhao Gang's voice came over the radio, "Commander, we are close to the enemy's defense line and are now waiting for your order to attack."
Zhang Ling nodded, then asked, "Li Yunlong, what's the situation over there?"
Li Yunlong's voice also came from the radio, with a hint of excitement: "Commander, the enemy has noticed our movements and is mobilizing troops to respond. We can launch a feint attack at any time."
Zhang Ling took a deep breath, tapped the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Zhao Gang, prepare for a surprise attack, and make sure to strike a fatal blow. Li Yunlong, before the enemy reacts, create as much chaos as possible to attract their main force."
The commanders of the two armies responded at the same time: "Yes, Commander!"
As Zhang Ling's order was issued, the battle started instantly. The commando team led by Zhao Gang passed through the mountains silently like a ghost, and quickly approached the enemy's defense line. When they were less than a hundred meters away from the enemy, Zhao Gang decisively ordered: "Attack!"
The commandos rushed to the enemy's defense line like a tiger out of a cage. Their actions were so swift that before the enemy could react, the commandos had already rushed into their position. For a moment, gunfire rang out and the enemy's defense line was instantly disrupted.
At the same time, the troops led by Li Yunlong launched a fierce feint attack on the southern line, and artillery fire poured down on the enemy's position like raindrops. The enemy panicked and mistakenly thought that the southern line was the main attack direction, and mobilized troops to respond.
Zhang Ling monitored the progress of the battle via the radio, and finally felt relieved. The two armies cooperated very well, and the enemy's defense line showed obvious signs of chaos.
"Zhao Gang, how is the advancement speed?" Zhang Ling asked via radio.
There was a hint of excitement in Zhao Gang's voice: "Commander, the enemy's defense line has collapsed. We are moving forward and our goal is about to be achieved."
Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Li Yunlong: "Yunlong, continue your feint attack over there, and make sure to delay them.
Zhang Ling's leader came down to inspect, and was shocked by Zhang Ling's weapons and equipment.
Under the cover of night, Zhang Ling was busy studying the next battle plan in the headquarters. The smoke on the battlefield had not yet completely dissipated, and he knew that the enemy would not give up easily, and the next battle might be more intense. Just as he was concentrating on the mark on the map, he suddenly received an emergency call.
"Zhang Ling, the leader will come down for inspection tomorrow." The person on the other end of the line was the logistics director of the army, and his tone was a little nervous. "The superiors asked us to be well prepared, especially the display of weapons and equipment. We must let the leader see our strength."
Zhang Ling frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little pressure in his heart. Although he has always been confident in his troops, the inspections of the leaders are always accompanied by high scrutiny and expectations. He knows that any negligence in any detail may cause the troops to lose points. So he immediately responded: "Understood, I will make arrangements immediately to ensure that everything goes well."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ling pondered for a moment, then called Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, who soon appeared in front of him. Seeing Zhang Ling's serious expression, they all realized the urgency of the matter.
"Commander, what is the mission?" Zhao Gang spoke first, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his tone.
Zhang Ling briefly explained the inspection, and with a firm determination in his tone, "The leader will come to inspect tomorrow, and our weapons and equipment must be impeccable. I need you to be responsible for different areas and ensure that every weapon and equipment is in the best condition."
Li Yunlong nodded, his expression serious, "Don't worry, Commander. Our equipment has always been first-class and we will never let you down."
Zhao Gang also echoed, "Yes, Chief, our weapons and equipment have all been strictly screened and debugged, and each one can exert its maximum power."
Zhang Ling felt relieved after hearing their answers, but he knew that confidence alone was not enough and he had to be meticulous in the actual operation. He glanced at the two of them and continued, "Okay, Li Yunlong, you will be responsible for checking all the light weapons, including rifles, pistols, machine guns, etc. Make sure that every weapon can be used normally without any defects."
Li Yunlong immediately stood up straight and said solemnly: "Yes, Chief, I will ensure that every weapon is in the best condition."
Zhang Ling turned to Zhao Gang and continued, "Zhao Gang, you will be responsible for the display of heavy weapons and equipment, especially our artillery and armored vehicles. The leaders will pay special attention to these heavy equipment, and you must ensure that everything is in good working order."
A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Gang's eyes, and he nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Commander, there will be no problems with our heavy equipment. I will personally supervise and ensure that every piece can be displayed perfectly."
Zhang Ling looked at the two men with satisfaction, and then added: "In addition to weapons and equipment, our soldiers must also greet the leaders in the best condition. Well-trained soldiers and perfectly functioning equipment are the pride of our troops."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang responded at the same time: "Understood, Chief!"
That night, Zhang Ling barely slept. He personally led several soldiers to check the weapons and equipment one by one, from every gun to every armored vehicle, to ensure that there were no mistakes. Although he knew that his men had done an excellent job, as a commander, he still could not relax.
The next morning, the sun shone on the camp, and the soldiers lined up neatly and were in high spirits. Zhang Ling stood in front of the team, looking at every soldier, his heart filled with pride. He knew that today's inspection was not only an inspection of the troops, but also a test of him as the commander.
Soon after, a military jeep drove into the camp, the door opened, and a middle-aged leader in military uniform got out, followed by several staff officers. The leader had a dignified look on his face, but his eyes also revealed a bit of scrutiny.
Zhang Ling immediately stepped forward and saluted, his tone full of respect, "Commander, welcome to our inspection. We have made all preparations."
The leader nodded slightly and said in a steady tone: "Okay, Zhang Ling, I came here this time just to see your actual situation. I heard that your troops have performed well recently, and I am looking forward to seeing your results."
Zhang Ling's heart trembled, knowing that the leader had high hopes for them, and then he said, "Commander, please follow me. We have prepared a display of weapons and equipment for you."
Led by Zhang Ling, the leaders and their entourage began to visit the weapons and equipment display area. First, they visited the light weapons display area, which was in charge of Li Yunlong. Rows of neatly arranged rifles, pistols, and machine guns were placed on the table, and each weapon was polished to a shine. Li Yunlong stood aside and introduced in detail the performance of each weapon and its performance on the battlefield.
The leader picked up a rifle and examined it carefully, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "Well, these weapons appear to be in good condition and well maintained."
Li Yunlong replied confidently: "Commander, these are our most commonly used weapons. Each one has been strictly maintained and debugged to ensure that there will be no problems on the battlefield."
The leader nodded, put down his rifle, and continued to move forward. Next, they came to the heavy weapons display area that Zhao Gang was in charge of. Various artillery, mortars and armored vehicles were displayed here. Each piece of heavy equipment looked extraordinary, as if proclaiming the powerful strength of this unit.
Zhao Gang stepped forward, puffed out his chest and said, "Commander, these are the heavy equipment of our troops. Artillery and armored vehicles are the main forces in our battle."
The leader walked to a cannon, observed it carefully, and then turned around and asked: "What is the performance of this cannon? How did it perform in actual combat?"
Zhao Gang answered without hesitation: "Commander, this artillery has a long range and great power. In the recent battle, it was thanks to it that we destroyed the enemy's main position and won the victory for us. We have also upgraded it to ensure that it can operate normally in various complex terrains."
The leader smiled approvingly and nodded, "Very good. Artillery is a powerful weapon on the battlefield. The fact that it is well maintained shows that you have put in a lot of effort."
Zhao Gang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still maintained a serious expression, "Commander, you are right, we always put the maintenance and upgrading of weapons and equipment first to ensure that they play the greatest role at critical moments."
