Chapter 385, Invincible Company of Sharp Daggers
When Fortress 178 decided to launch a war against the Zong Clan, the entire fortress suddenly became busy.
It was common for consortia to spread out most of their forces amongst the various barriers in order to accomplish complete control over each one, so like Qing’s in non-war times, it was almost enough to put a combat brigade in one barrier, and an independent regiment in the weaker barriers.
Only the 111th ledge, where Qing Zhen and the others were located, would have more combat troops stationed there.
And unlike the 178th fortress, which was the only base they had, half of the fortress was basically the army, while the entire population of the fortress, as well as the residents of the outskirts and a few scattered settlements were all in service to the army.
However, not quite the same as the other barriers, this 178 fortress actually had no distinction between stragglers and residents, and there would be additional subsidies for outside residency for working outside.
In the winter, all the residents outside could enter the fortress for the winter with a pass in hand.
Of course, the scrutiny of this pass is still relatively strict.
The entire 178th Fortress had as many as 80,000 troops, a complete Class A group army, while the Zong Clan’s army was claimed to be as many as 200,000 troops.
The contrast in military strength was extremely disparate, and perhaps it was because of this disparity in military strength that the Zong Clan had been so reckless in recent years in destroying the major transportation routes linking the 178th Fortress to the outside world.
However, Ren Xiaosu realized that the group of big men at 178 Barrier didn’t seem to care about this contrast in strength.
According to what Xu Xianchu had said, in modern warfare, numbers were no longer the key to winning a war, it depended on brains, technology, courage, and experience.
Although Zong’s soldiers are many, but they are all new recruits in the army, and many of them are stragglers, so when they go to the battlefield, this group of new recruits will have to be blind.
The difference between veterans and recruits is the difference between heaven and earth.
Ren Xiaosu said in his heart that Zhang Jinglin is not a reckless person, since Zhang Jinglin said he would fight, then he must be sure.
At this time, Zhou Yinglong had already brought him to the camp of the sharp knife company, only to see the people in the sharp knife company waiting at the entrance of the camp early, and each one of them hooked their shoulders and sized up Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu was also wearing the Pointed Sword Company uniform that Xu Xianchu had brought him, and the symbol on his arm was also the Pointed Sword Company’s bayonet insignia.
Zhou Yinglong whispered, “Northwest can be not quite the same as your south, if in the south, Commander Zhang arranged for you to the sharp knife company, I’m afraid that the whole army is polite to you, but in the northwest …… everyone wants to try you enough to qualify.”
Ren Xiaosu was surprised for a moment, what is enough or not? He only came to the most dangerous place to avenge himself, could it be that this Sharp Knife Company is very difficult to enter?
Zhou Yinglong didn’t continue, he said to the soldiers of the sharp knife company who surrounded him, “A group of old boys don’t go to hit the backpack, what are you doing around here? Tomorrow morning you will be the first to start up and enter the battlefield, and you are limited to taking Dingyuan Mountain down for me within half a month.”
“Dingyuan Mountain is just a bunch of dirt-cheap dogs, we’ll take it down as soon as we arrive,” said someone with a big grin, “Battalion Commander, is that Ren Xiaosu beside you?”
“Yes, it’s him,” Zhou Yinglong said, “Remember, don’t go too far out of your way.”
When Ren Xiaosu heard Zhou Yinglong say ‘don’t go too far out of character’, he felt a little bad, this is to give himself an opportunity to give himself a warning?
And how did it seem as if he had suddenly become a celebrity in Fortress 178?
However, Zhou Yinglong turned around and walked away after saying his words, not leaving Ren Xiaosu with any opportunity to ask questions at all.
Seeing the sharp knife company more than one hundred and eighty people all towards Ren Xiaosu surrounded over, even the cooks are holding kitchen knives mixed in, Ren Xiaosu all wondered, which is like a barracks, how do you feel like a bandit nest open black store it!
But Ren Xiaosu is here to kill Zong’s revenge ah, he only need to go to the battlefield and Zong’s enemy is good, there is no need to get along with the soldiers of this sharp knife company.
Ren Xiaosu lifted up the hem of his blouse, revealing the wound on his right abdomen, “Are you guys going to go after the wounded?”
The result let Ren Xiaosu outside is that the opposite group of hooligans laugh cheekily: “It’s fine, we won’t be too heavy-handed.”
Ren Xiaosu froze at that time, this damn even hit the wounded!
Waiting for the opposite voice just fell, Ren Xiaosu turned around and ran, the good man refused to lose, can not be under the circumstances of the killer, Ren Xiaosu hit more than a hundred people is also too much effort, and his internal injuries have not yet healed it!
Suddenly, a group of hooligans from the sharp knife company roared, “Go after them!”
When a newcomer comes down to the company, it’s all about taking a beating, and if you don’t get you in line, what if you don’t follow orders in the future? Of course, this is a very grandiose statement, the fundamental reason is that the veterans have nothing to do ……
As the saying goes, no one will hold a grudge for a while after entering the company.
However, today there is a strange thing, this new recruit even ran away! But where can you run to ah, forward battalion camp is so big, and you do not come back to sleep at night?
But the key was that Ren Xiaosu ran especially fast, instantly leaving them behind!
A large group of people followed behind Ren Xiaosu, but saw Ren Xiaosu dodging into another barracks area, and the men of the Pointed Sword Company followed and dove in headfirst.
When Ren Xiaosu entered the barracks, he saw more than ten people sunbathing quilts, he rushed to one person in front of his fist and knocked one person down: “Pointed Sword Company is invincible!”
The northwestern men who were tanning their quilts froze, and didn’t react to what was happening for several seconds.
One of the men suddenly became angry: “Damn it, the battles that were overshadowed by the Company of Pointed Swords in the last exercise have not yet been counted, and yet they still come to take the initiative to provoke!”
With that, he yelled to the inside of the barracks, “Brothers of the Second Company, come out and fight!”
When the hooligans of the Sharp Knives Company entered this camp area, they were seeing the people of the Second Company running out from inside the barracks, and the company commander of the Sharp Knives Company shouted, “Old Li you get out of the way, this has nothing to do with you ……”
But saw the second company commander Lao Li looked at his own brother who was whacked on the ground: “Let you? Brothers, give me a fight!”
The commander of the sharp knife company also came on fire: “Hey, hey, underlings!”
Old Li got even angrier when he heard this, and swung his fist over.
That all happened in a flash of lightning, not giving everyone time to think at all, but where there was a bit of time to think, it wasn’t like this.
Zhou Yinglong in the distance frowned watching, what the hell is the situation, this Ren Xiaosu just came to the first day, the sharp knife company and the second company will be the first to fight, more than three hundred people mixed together in a group beating, looking at some people’s collars have been torn!
178 fortress barracks fighting each other that is also a common thing, the general situation of the army chief officer let them first to play enough, the fortress in the Hanzi all think, no blood when what soldiers.
But this is how to fight ah?
“Really fucking evil,” Zhou Yinglong said.
Ren Xiaosu next to him also lamented, “That’s right.”
Zhou Yinglong turned around expansively, “When did you get to my side?!”
Ren Xiaosu said haughtily, “Just arrived not a moment ago.”
