Zhou Yinglong confirmed on the phone again and again, and then believed that Guan Shan had really been defeated.
The original plan of the forward battalion was to let the sharp knife company first attack the bandits in Dingyuan Mountain, and then the sharp knife company would turn back and attack the more difficult Guanshan with the second company.
As a result, not long after the sharp knife company set off, Guanshan was gone...
Zhang Xiaoman asked on the phone: "Battalion Commander, can this be considered our contribution? "
"Think about it," Zhou Yinglong responded: "How about the casualties of your sharp knife company? If the casualties are relatively large, you can rest for a while and wait for support."
"There are no casualties. ," Zhang Xiaoman felt a bit of toothache when he spoke, and he no longer hid it: "There are only more than a hundred bandits on Guanshan Mountain, and Ren Xiaosu went up to fight them down by himself. Don't say you were shocked, I We were also shocked. Our previous plan was to let him contain the bandits in Guanshan, but with this containment, the bandits in Guanshan were contained..."
Then Zhang Xiaoman called on the communication radio station Inside, one could hear Zhou Yinglong taking a breath of air: "So fierce?!"
Ren Xiaosu wiped the blood on his body by a stream behind Guanshan Mountain and put on the sharp knife again. Company combat uniform.
Not far away, Jiao Xiaochen and others who were gathering ammunition and supplies looked at Ren Xiaosu's appearance: "Did you see that killing more than a hundred people was like nothing happened? This is too peaceful. "
"I don't know what he did before coming to Fortress 178..."
"I heard someone say that he was also a refugee before, and he was still a student of Commander Zhang. He is a well-known ruthless man in the market town, as Lao Xu said."
Ren Xiaosu put on a clean sharp knife company uniform and stood by the stream. This was just the beginning of revenge. He would still have more in the future. Fight more battles.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoman had finished reporting to Zhou Yinglong, and he asked Jiao Xiaochen: "Check the harvest."
"Two 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns, with shields and wheels "There are thirty-one boxes of ammunition and two mortars," Jiao Xiaochenhui reported: "There are many other automatic rifles, but they are of no use to us."
The more guns, the better. It only needs someone to use it, so automatic rifles are not much different from scrap metal to them.
"Carry the mortars and mortar shells, remove the shield and wheels of the heavy machine gun, and then bring the heavy machine gun bullets," Zhang Xiaoman said: "The machine gun shield is on the plains. It's more useful. It's inconvenient for us to move around with this thing, right? There are no grenades?"
Jiao Xiaochen shook his head: "No, not a single grenade was found."
"Aren't these Guanshan bandits too poor to even afford grenades?" Zhang Xiaoman asked doubtfully.
It’s not that the Guanshan bandits are poor, but that Ren Xiaosu put all seven boxes of grenades into his own space before going down the mountain.
Before explosive poker produced bombs with numbers above 6, Ren Xiaosu felt that they could be replaced by grenades.As for the power of bombs above 6, he himself could not estimate it.
Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes glowed when he looked at a pile of ordnance. Even if the sharp knife company went into battle, it would be equipped with ordinary equipment and there would be no heavy firepower.
So what you can grab on the battlefield depends entirely on your own ability.
At this time, Jiao Xiaochen was carrying a machine gun: "This thing belongs to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiao Xiaochen's hand was loosened, and the machine gun was already in Ren Xiaosu's hand , Jiao Xiaochen was stunned for a long time, and then just listened to Ren Xiaosu said: "Squad leader, let me hold it for you."
Jiao Xiaochen was moved. He could fight and be united and friendly. What kind of fairy comrades are he!
"Thank you, Ren Xiaosu," Jiao Xiaochen said.
"Thank you from Jiao Xiaochen, +1!"
Ren Xiaosu suddenly discovered that the thank you coins at Fortress 178 were quite easy to obtain.
Looking at him, the mission was almost completed, but Ren Xiaosu was thinking, can he continue to earn thank you coins after completing the mission?
"Company Commander," Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhang Xiaoman: "What are we going to do next?"
"Siege Dingyuan Mountain," Zhang Xiaoman replied: "Forward Battalion and Engineer Battalion They are almost reaching our north. They want to establish an advance base there. At this time, they cannot let the bandits from behind make trouble."
"Is the advance base important?" Ren Xiaosu asked, not questioning it, but I am asking humbly: "What is the function of the Forward Base?"
In Ren Xiaosu's impression, the Forward Base is a place where you can make a living...
Zhang Xiaoman patiently explained: " The use of forward bases can greatly reduce the time the army spends on the road from the rear to the forward position, and can extend the supply line close enough to the enemy's stronghold. For example, an armored brigade must resupply at the forward base before continuing to complete the deep route. "
Ren Xiaosu nodded and said that he understood: "How to attack Dingyuan Mountain?"
" Battalion Commander Zhou said that there is no need to attack by force, as long as they are surrounded on Dingyuan Mountain. Just be unable to move," Zhang Xiaoman said: "After the battle at Guanshan, the plan changed, so our task is not too difficult and we can minimize casualties. After the forward base is built, new troops will come over. With fire support, it will be much easier then."
That night, everyone made short repairs on Guanshan. When the comrades took off their shoes and sat by the campfire to warm themselves, Ren Xiaosu took a rest. Walked away silently.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu's lonely figure standing on the edge of the cliff, and suddenly said to the other soldiers: "I always feel that he has something on his mind."
"Company Commander, it's purely Our feet are so smelly..."
Zhang Xiaoman laughed and scolded: "Don't you think he is worried?"
"Yes."
Zhang Xiaoman looked back at Ren Xiaosu's back. He always felt that Ren Xiaosu had experienced much more than they imagined.
He walked to Ren Xiaosu with a portion of freshly heated vegetable soup: "Here, have something to eat."
"Well, thank you, company commander," Ren Xiaosu said.
As a result, Zhang Xiaoman did not leave after delivering the soup, but suddenly asked: "I heard that you just arrived at Fortress 178. Why did you choose to come to Fortress 178, a place as miserable as this?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Zhang Xiaoman: "Originally I didn't plan to go, but because there are very important things to do, and we have common interests with Fortress 178."
"I see," Zhang Xiaoman nodded and said.
"Company Commander, why do you want to serve as soldiers in Fortress 178?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
“I have been born in Fortress 178 since I was a child,” Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile: “When young people in the fortress are over 16 years old, the first thing they do is to go for a physical examination to see if they are soldiers. That piece of material, someone almost committed suicide by hanging because of his flat feet during the physical examination."
"Why?" Ren Xiaosu asked in surprise.
Zhang Xiaoman looked to the northwest, as if he could see Fortress 178. He smiled and said: "In order to have the opportunity to prove that he is a man when the bronze bell in the center of the fortress rings."
