Chapter 391, That Bronze Bell

Zhou Yinglong confirmed again and again on the phone before believing that Guanshan had really been brought down.

The original plan of the forward battalion was to let the sharp knife company first go to fight the Dingyuan Mountain bandits that were better to fight, and then the sharp knife company turned back to fight this even harder Guanshan together with the second company.

As a result, this sharp knife company has just set off not long ago, Guanshan is gone …….

Zhang Xiaoman asked on the phone, “Battalion Commander, this is also considered our credit, right?”

“Count on it,” Zhou Yinglong responded, “How about the casualties of your Pointed Blade Company? If the casualties are relatively high you can take a short break and wait for support.”

“No casualties,” Zhang Xiaoman spoke with a bit of toothache, he also stopped hiding, “There are only a hundred or so bandits above Guanshan, Ren Xiaosu went up and fought them down alone, not to mention that you were shocked, I was shocked as well, our previous plan was to let him go and restrain the bandits in Guanshan, but it turned out that this restrain made the bandits in Guanshan fall down. As a result, the Guanshan bandits have been restrained by this restraint. ……”

Then Zhang Xiaoman could hear Zhou Yinglong sucking in a breath of cold air over the phone on the communication radio, “So fierce?”

Ren Xiaosu at this time wiped the blood stains on his body beside a small stream behind Guanshan Mountain, and re-changed into the combat uniform of the Sharp Knife Company.

Not far away, Jiao Xiao Chen and the others who were gathering ammunition supplies looked at Ren Xiaosu’s appearance, “Did you guys see that, killing more than a hundred people like nothing, this is too calm.”

“I also don’t know what he was doing before he came to Fortress 178 ……”

“I heard someone say, he used to be a straggler too, right, or Commander Zhang’s student to come, or a well-known ruthless person in the market town, Lao Xu said.”

Ren Xiaosu put on his clean sharp knife company uniform and stood by the creek, this was just the beginning of revenge, he had more battles to fight in the future.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoman had already finished his report to Zhou Yinglong, he asked Jiao Xiao Chen, “Take an inventory of the harvest.”

“Two 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns with shields and wheels, thirty-one boxes of ammunition, and two mortars,” Jiao Xiao Chen reported, “The other automatic rifles are much more, but they’re not much use to us.”

More guns weren’t better, there had to be someone to use them, so automatic rifles weren’t much different from scrap metal to them.

“Take the mortar and mortar rounds with you, take the heavy machine gun with the defense shield and wheels removed, and take the heavy machine gun bullets with you,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “The machine gun defense shield thing is only more useful on the plains, it’s hard for us to move around with this thing… no, there are no grenades?”

Jiao Xiao Chen shook his head, “No, not a single grenade to be found.”

“This group of Guanshan bandits are also too poor, can’t even afford grenades?” Zhang Xiaoman said doubtfully.

It wasn’t that the Guanshan bandits were poor, but Ren Xiaosu had put all seven boxes of grenades into his space before descending the mountain.

Before Explosive Poker gave birth to bombs with a number above 6, Ren Xiaosu felt that he could use grenades instead, as for how powerful bombs with a number above 6 were, he himself couldn’t estimate it.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at a pile of ordnance with his eyes glowing, even if the sharp knife company went to war it was just a general configuration, no heavy firepower.

So what you can grab on the battlefield is up to you.

At this time, Jiao Xiao Chen was carrying a machine gun, “This thing belongs to me!”

The words just fell, Jiao Xiao Chen’s hand is a loose, the machine gun has reached Ren Xiaosu’s hand, Jiao Xiao Chen froze for a long time, only to hear Ren Xiaosu said: “squad leader, I will help you hold.”

Jiao Xiaochen was touched, able to fight and united in love, what kind of fairy comrades are these!

“Thank you, Ren Xiaosu,” Jiao Xiao Chen said.

“Thank you from Jiao Xiao Chen, +1!”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that on this side of Fortress 178, the thank you coins were quite good.

Seeing as he was almost done with his current mission, but Ren Xiaosu pondered that he could continue to brush his thank you coins after his own mission as well, right?

“Company Commander,” Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhang Xiaoman, “What are we going to do next?”

“Siege Dingyuan Mountain,” Zhang Xiaoman replied, “The Forward Battalion and the Engineer Battalion are close to arriving north of us, they’re going to set up a forward base there, we can’t let the bandits in the rear go over to cause trouble at this time.”

“Is the forward base important?” Ren Xiaosu asked, not questioning, but asking for advice with an open mind, “What is the role of the forward base?”

In Ren Xiaosu’s impression, a forward base is a place where you can rub your nose in it ……

Zhang Xiaoman patiently explained, “The use of forward bases can greatly reduce the amount of time spent by the army on the road from the rear to the forward positions, and it can extend the supply line close enough to the enemy strongholds. For example, the armored brigade must resupply at the forward base before continuing to complete its deep route.”

Ren Xiaosu nodded to show that he understood, “Then how will Dingyuan Mountain be fought?”

“Battalion Commander Zhou said that we don’t need to force an attack, we just need to besiege them on Dingyuan Mountain and not be able to move,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “The plan changed after Guanshan was fought, so our task isn’t that tough and we can minimize casualties. After the forward base is built, there will be new troops coming over for fire support, so it will be much easier then.”

That night, all of them then took a short restoration on top of Guanshan Mountain, and when their comrades took off their shoes and sat by the campfire to roast the fire, Ren Xiaosu silently walked away.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu’s somewhat lonely figure standing on the edge of the mountain cliff and suddenly said to the other soldiers, “It always feels like he has something on his mind.”

“Company commander, it is purely because our feet stink …… too much.”

Zhang Xiaoman laughed and scolded, “Don’t you guys feel that he has something on his mind?”

“It is a bit.”

Zhang Xiaoman turned back to look at Ren Xiaosu’s back, he always felt that Ren Xiaosu had gone through a lot more than they had imagined.

He walked over to Ren Xiaosu with a freshly heated vegetable soup, “Here, have something to eat.”

“Uh, thank you Company Commander,” Ren Xiaosu said.

As a result, Zhang Xiaoman did not leave after handing over the soup, but suddenly asked, “I heard that you also just arrived at Fortress 178 not long ago, why did you choose to come to such a bitter place as Fortress 178?”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at Zhang Xiaoman, “Originally, I didn’t intend to go, but because there were very important things that had to be done, and there were common interests with Fortress 178.”

“I see,” Zhang Xiaoman said with a nod.

“Company Commander, why do you want to be soldiers in Fortress 178?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“I’ve been born in Fortress 178 since I was a kid,” Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile, “When young people in the fortress turn 16, the first thing they do is go for a medical checkup to see if they are the material to be a soldier, and someone almost hanged themselves when they failed the medical checkup because of their flat feet. ”

“Why?” Ren Xiaosu was surprised.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the northwest as if he could see the 178 fortress, he laughed: “In order to have a chance to prove that I am a man when the bronze bell in the center of that fortress rings.”
