War is easy to make people tired. Even sleeping on the battlefield is not stable. Only real warriors can bear this kind of mental exhaustion.
When night was about to fall on the third day, Zhang Xiaoman ordered the inspection of firearms and issued his own pre-war mobilization: "Please fill up the bullets for me. We will end the battle tonight. I know it." Everyone is very tired..."
"You're not tired, Company Commander," Jiao Xiaochen said with a cheerful smile: "Ren Xiaosu has been opening up a safe area on the front battlefield, we are just doing last-ditch attacks, there is nothing to be tired about. "
Zhang Xiaoman's remarks were his usual mobilization before the decisive battle. Basically, the most dangerous situation was before the end of the battle, so he hoped that his soldiers could cheer up and face it well.
He is not a person who is good at mobilizing before war, so he summed up this rhetoric during the break, but it turns out that it is no longer applicable now.
As they watched two days of high-intensity fighting come to an end, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company became more and more excited, and there was no sign of fatigue at all.
This is different from previous battles. It has never been so easy before.
Zhang Xiaoman sighed with emotion: "Forget it, we'll be done with the fight. Please note, Battalion Commander Zhou and others previously suspected that there were large-scale weapons of destruction hidden in Shichuan Town, so if the enemy is forced to have no other way out on the last day, It is very likely that this kind of weapon will be used."
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously: "Did Battalion Commander Zhou and the others say what might be hidden in Shichuan Town?"
"It's probably artillery. Something like that," Zhang Xiaoman said: "Our 178 Fortress is still a little lacking in intelligence work, and we have not found out how many and what the garrison forces here have."
In intelligence work. On the other hand, Ren Xiaosu really admired the Qing family.
That Qing Zhen’s preparations for the war were almost comprehensive and far-reaching.
As for Fortress 178, Zhang Jinglin has been away for more than ten years, and the entire fortress has been almost leaderless.
Although there is a post of acting commander, even this acting commander was rushed to the shelf. Therefore, this northwest man with a military background only focused on armaments, military training, and military replacement, and did not develop much. He is really not good at economics and intelligence work.
During the day, the Shichuan garrison launched a crazy attack, but after that attack was repelled, there was no movement.
At that time, Zhang Xiaoman thought he was giving the Zong family a hard time, but Ren Xiaosu’s shadow outside kept following the shadow and quietly seeping back. He unexpectedly discovered that during this attack, Shichuan was guarding the rear. The army is slowly retreating.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it carefully. This attack was probably to cover the retreat of the army behind him. Only in this way would Zhang Xiaoman and the others not notice the retreat.
But why did the Shichuan garrison retreat?
Ren Xiaosu had no time to think: "Company Commander, let's retreat."
"Retreat? We just won the battle, you let uswithdraw? "Zhang Xiaoman said strangely.
"There is danger," Ren Xiaosu said seriously.
Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "We went to the front line to face the danger directly, how could we retreat? The truth? And if they retreat too much, many of the streets and alleys fought in the past will be in vain. "
"The defenders at the rear of Shichuan Town are evacuating. There must be a reason for this! "Ren Xiaosu said.
"How did you know they withdrew? Aren't you here all the time? "Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "The attack has reached here, we can't retreat! "
"If we could defeat it before, we can still defeat it in the future," Ren Xiaosu said eagerly: "Let's withdraw! What if the Zong clan directly covers Shichuan Town with artillery fire? "
"How is that possible? We only have three companies in Shichuan Town. If they directly cover them with artillery fire, it will be no different from cannons hitting mosquitoes. "
Zhang Xiaoman was about to say something, but found himself being picked up by Ren Xiaosu. Zhang Xiaoman was suddenly shocked: "Put it down! ”
It’s just that Ren Xiaosu didn’t pay any attention to what he said. He actually picked up Zhang Xiaoman and ran frantically to the outskirts of Shichuan Town.
His move hit even the other people with sharp knives. Stunned, Zhang Xiaoman shouted on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "Put me down, Ren Xiaosu, if you disobey the military order, be careful and I will kill you!" "
Ren Xiaosu said while running: "If there were only three companies here, of course the Zong family would not make such a big move, but if the Zong family found out that I was also here, it would be different. ”
Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment. He actually didn’t understand what Ren Xiaosu meant.
While the Sharp Knife Company, Second Company, and Third Company were still stunned, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly appeared at Ren Xiaosu’s side. Xiaosu sighed over his shoulder: "Retreat, retreat, retreat! Ren Xiaosu, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will really send you to a military court. ”
All the soldiers and non-commissioned officers looked at each other. What else could they do? Just retreat.
This retreat actually ended up directly outside Shichuan Town. Ren Xiaosu ran out of nowhere. Chuan Zhen ran for another two kilometers before he stopped.
Zhang Xiaoman was almost vomiting on Ren Xiaosu's shoulders. Apart from anything else, Ren Xiaosu's physical strength was really good. He ran cross-country for several kilometers with a man weighing more than 100 kilograms, and nothing happened.
As soon as Ren Xiaosu put Zhang Xiaoman on the ground, all the soldiers from the Sharp Blade Company suddenly saw a sudden movement in the direction of Shichuan Town! There was a huge fire and explosions that could be heard from a distance.
Even from several kilometers away, everyone could feel the ground shaking.
It was not covered by artillery. , in fact, there was no artillery coverage at all, but the explosives left by the Shichuan garrison put the entire abandoned town into a sea of flames.
Zhang Xiaoman stared at this scene in a daze: "Damn it. If he hadn't left because of his evil nature, I'm afraid all three companies would have been destroyed. ”
He did not pursue the matter of Ren Xiaosu carrying him away. At this time, all the soldiers of Sharp Knife Company, Second Company, and Third Company were looking at the sea of fire with lingering fear.
Because of the explosion just now, everyone suffered from temporary tinnitus.
"How did you know they withdrew?" Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked curiously.
“I don’t want to talk about this right now,” Ren Xiaosu answered very straightforwardly.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoman didn't go into details, but thought about it and said, "But you still have to obey orders in the future. You forgot what I said..."
Ren Xiaosu said : "Company Commander, you said you should be able to adapt to changes."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Jiao Xiaochen: "Did I say that?"
Jiao Xiaochen said honestly: "I did."
Zhang Xiaoman himself was overjoyed. This was the joy of surviving the disaster. He solemnly said to Ren Xiaosu: "Thank you."
"Thank you from Zhang Xiaoman, +1!"
p>This was indeed a life-saving grace. If Ren Xiaosu hadn't reacted quickly, all three companies would have been lost.
No matter how you say it, Ren Xiaosu's arrival is like an insurance policy for everyone's lives.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the thank you record and looked at the others.
