Chapter 387: Making a military order

In the car, Ren Xiaosu was listening to a group of hooligans from the Sharp Knife Company discussing how to break through the defense line of Dingyuan Mountain, and not only the problem of breaking through Dingyuan Mountain, but also the reinforcement from the Guanshan side had to be considered.

You know, the reason why this Dingyuan Mountain is difficult to fight is precisely because the Zong’s bandits on the line of Guanshan are watching over each other.

On weekdays, they look like two groups of unrelated bandits, but when it comes to war, these two groups of bandits clearly belong to the same force.

Therefore, to fight against the distant mountains, one would have to face the threat of Guanshan’s military strength at the same time.

When the caravan was about to drive out of Fortress 178, suddenly someone stopped the caravan in front, but it was Wang Shengzhi and Wang Sheng Yin waiting at the east gate, Zhang Xiaoman jumped out of the car and curiously said, “Do you have something to do?”

Wang Sheng Yin said, “Ren Xiaosu is in your company, right? We have communicated with Commander Zhang and know that he will be heading to the front today, so we intend to say goodbye to him, and we won’t delay your trip.”

Zhang Xiaoman sized up Wang Shengyin’s appearance, it was clear that he was one of those people from the original China, he was not happy, “The troops are on the move, which has to stay because of such things as goodbyes, you guys hurry up and get out of the way, he’s now a soldier in my Sharp Knife Company, he can’t see you guys.”

Zhang Xiaoman himself was a bit unhappy, what kind of thing was it to be stopped by this kind of mess while the troops were advancing?

Wang Sheng Yin laughed, “I’m sorry, then we won’t say goodbye, can you give him this gift and help us tell him that we’re also leaving Fort 178 three days later, and that we’ll help him look for that friend called Li Shentan when we return to the Central Plains.”

“Alright, alright,” Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand impatiently, “I’ll pass it on to him.”

With that, he hopped back onto the truck’s bucket and led the group swiftly through the gates of Fortress 178. The bronze bell at the end of the long road behind them still stood in the center of the fortress, and a group of soldiers looked at the fading Wang Sheng Yin and muttered, “I’m sore ……”

At this moment, Wang Sheng Yin was still waving to the convoy, while Wang Sheng Zhi smiled without saying anything.

Zhang Xiaoman handed the gift box to Ren Xiaosu: “War shouldn’t have such things as childish love, only life and death, understand?”

Ren Xiaosu didn’t answer, he took the box and opened it to find a box of pea cakes inside, he pinched a piece for himself and stuffed it in his mouth, while the rest were stuffed back to Zhang Xiaoman: “Let’s all share it.”

Zhang Xiaoman froze for a moment, “People’s female dolls send you snacks, you give us to eat? What did you think of this kid?”

Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment and said, “It’s not good.”

Zhang Xiaoman: “……”

A group of soldiers next to him grabbed the snacks in Zhang Xiaoman’s hand, “He doesn’t eat it let’s eat it, it’s not bad to have a female doll send something to eat even if you don’t think it’s tasty.”

Ren Xiaosu sat in the corner, he was very clear that his relationship with Wang Sheng Yin was not what this group of soldiers thought, the two sides knew each other only for more than ten days, not even a month.

Perhaps it was because Wang Sheng Yin felt that he would be useful in the future, so he expressed enough goodwill in the moment.

But no matter what, he wouldn’t trust this group of “friends” who had only known each other for ten days or so, and as for what would happen after Wang Shengzhi found Li Shentan, he didn’t care.

Given the strength of Li Shentan and Si Li Ren, even if Wang Shengzhi had ulterior motives, Li Shentan would definitely be able to retreat.

And as he ate the pea cake, he thought of Yang Xiaoguan, and wondered where that duck-tongued girl had gotten to by now.

I’m afraid, everyone else thought they were dead.

Even Ren Xiaosu didn’t think he could have any reason to live at that time.

Before the revenge was over, Ren Xiaosu had no intention of getting involved with anyone else, they were all just passers-by in life.

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu said, “Company Commander, let’s hit Guanshan directly.”

“You’re crazy,” Zhang Xiaoman said with a pea cake in his mouth, “The military order I made was to fight Dingyuan Mountain, and Guanshan is much harder to fight than Dingyuan Mountain!”

Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “Didn’t you say that if we fight Dingyuan Mountain, we have to prevent Guanshan from coming to support us, so if we fight Guanshan, Dingyuan Mountain’s people will also come to support us.”

Zhang Xiaoman pondered over these words, and he suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu meant to fake hitting Guanshan, and then ambush and catch Dingyuan Mountain off guard.

This proposal was very much to the liking of all the soldiers of the Sharp Sword Company.

After all, even in modern warfare, positional defense warfare is still a war meat grinder like existence.

178 Fortress weekdays officers have to learn military knowledge, do not see a group of big men do not love to learn, but look at those preserved cases of pre-catastrophe wars, they are all interested in the look.

One of the airport position battle case perfectly explains what is called modern positional warfare, the attacking party’s strength has reached ten times more than the defending troops, and has 122mm howitzers and helicopter gunships.

However, even under these circumstances, the airfield took three months to capture, during which time both sides suffered numerous deaths and injuries.

This case proves that as long as you don’t have fully armored mechanical units and strong air strikes, then positional warfare must be taken seriously.

The equipment you have, they have too, and they have mines, booby traps, and traps.

If you want to use firepower to cover directly, on the one hand you have to spend a huge amount of money, on the other hand you use human lives to test out the other side’s firepower arrangement points before you can do it.

In the beginning, if Ren Xiaosu hadn’t given Qing Zhen the layout map, it would have taken a long time for Qing Zhen to knock down the 313th position, and Qing’s Command had set its own time for the battle, which was one month.

Many people thought that the era of positional warfare had died out in modern warfare, but this was not the case.

The theory of missile omnipotence was not yet on fire.

In the cases Zhang Xiaoman and the others had studied, the positions that were quickly conquered were basically bombed by the air force, but now the birds in the sky were the dominant force in the air control field, and the human airplanes were too fragile.

Now the sharp knife company is facing two bandit nests, they can call for fire support to plow through Dingyuan Mountain and Guanshan Mountain, but what about after the plowing? How can they fight the rest of the Zongs?

It’s just two bandit nests, but it’s not time to see the real thing.

Zhang Xiaoman pondered, “But when we are attacked from two sides, we may not be able to withstand it.”

Ren Xiaosu asked, “If we don’t fight like this, we’ll still encounter a pincer attack, right?”

“That’s true,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “But what if the pressure on Guanshan isn’t strong enough and the enemy on Dingyuan Mountain doesn’t come to support us?”

Ren Xiaosu said with certainty, “Then put pressure on them, leave this to me.”

“You dare to make a military order?” Zhang Xiaoman was shocked.

“I dare!”

The soldiers of the sharp knife company in the car suddenly felt that something was wrong, they were worried before that Ren Xiaosu’s new recruits would be weak in the battlefield, but as a result, everyone realized that how this Ren Xiaosu was bent on seeking war?

They had heard that Ren Xiaosu was a transcendentalist, right? I don’t know what kind of strength Ren Xiaosu has to say such big words.
