Chapter 393, the strange soldiers on the battlefield
What makes Ren Xiaosu more surprised is that originally he thought that these two bandits would be sneaky, but the result is that these two bandits also took the initiative to point out some errors in mapping on the map.
Surveying and drawing maps is a technical work, need professional measuring instruments, can’t just rely on eyesight to confirm a place how high, how wide.
And although the 178th Fortress side made the map as detailed as possible, it was all a secret affair, and some places could only be visually inspected, so there would definitely be deviations.
The two bandits took a pencil and drew circles on the map, a small circle was the location of a heavy machine gun, the two of them said, “But the location of the heavy machine gun often changes, there are also a lot of things on the mountain that we don’t know about that are covered with a poncho, and we don’t know what they are, so you guys must be more careful.”
“This road up the mountain has been blocked by trees, you guys can’t rush up there,” a named bandit said as he pointed to the route on the map, “It seems that the big boss received an order to die defending Tingyuan Mountain, so he shipped up a batch of supplies long ago ahead of time, saying that as long as we hold it for three months, we’ll give everyone credit. ”
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “Is there a regular army on the mountain?”
The two bandits shook their heads, “That’s not true, but there are some very powerful characters mixed within the bandits, and these people were definitely not bandits from our river valley region before.”
“How many are there?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“More than a hundred, I think, and the bandits on Dingyuan Mountain total more than nine hundred,” the bandit said.
Ren Xiaosu nodded his head and stopped talking, because the people who intercepted them before had a whole formation of Zong’s regiment level regular army in them, so he had to ask clearly, if there was Zong’s regular army on this Dingyuan Mountain, then he had to be careful.
“Is there no other path?” Zhang Xiaoman frowned, “Didn’t say why we have to die on Dingyuan Mountain?”
“It didn’t say, whose turn is it for us to inquire about such matters,” a bandit said, “Can we leave now?”
Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment and waved his hand, “Get lost, go west and don’t let me see you again.”
“Ai ai, okay,” the two bandits finished getting up and ran, but did not run two steps back and asked, “Sir, there are still cigarettes?”
Zhang Xiaoman impatiently said, “Our cigarettes don’t have your stuff in them.”
“It’s fine if you don’t have any,” said the two bandits.
Zhang Xiaoman had Jiao Xiao Chen throw two packs of cigarettes to the two men, “Get lost.”
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “Just let them go?”
“178 Fortress a promise is worth a thousand words, don’t worry, the bandits in the river valley area know what they’re doing, they won’t turn back when they head west,” Zhang Xiaoman said unconcernedly.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the two bandits disappearing into the intersecting gullies in the west, if it was him, I’m afraid he wouldn’t leave these two bandits alive.
But he could not say that Zhang Xiaoman was at fault;178 Fortress had its own way of survival.
“This Dingyuan Mountain bandits have blocked the mountain road, strange, what’s the point of blocking the road, what’s the point of dying here for three months?” Zhang Xiaoman said doubtfully.
“Then we’ll save ourselves the trouble by guarding down there, they won’t come down the mountain anyway,” Jiao Xiao Chen said.
“No,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “They must have problems if they want to defend this place to the death, war is not about rigidly following orders, we can only succeed if we can make the enemy uncomfortable. How about we bring down Dingyuan Mountain?”
Yesterday, because after fighting down Guanshan, Battalion Commander Zhou ordered them to just block Dingyuan Mountain, but now it seems that this Dingyuan Mountain still has to be fought.
“But the good thing is that we know the position of the heavy machine guns, directly take the mortar to knock out the other side’s fire point, it can kill a lot of people less, we have to immediately attack strongly, otherwise, when the position of the heavy machine guns change, the information we just got can all be null and void,” Zhang Xiaoman said.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “Isn’t it said that we have to listen to orders in a war, and the order is for us to block the enemy at Dingyuan Mountain.”
Zhang Xiaoman patiently explained, “What I want to teach you now is that you have to learn to improvise in the middle of a war …….”
At this time, Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu’s appearance of being in deep thought, and suddenly felt as if he shouldn’t be teaching Ren Xiaosu this ……
Jiao Xiao Chen said, “Then we’ll force an attack tonight?”
“Well,” Zhang Xiaoman nodded and said, “If there were other paths, it would be good, and we could still send people to sneak up, but there’s only one path on this Dingyuan Mountain, so we’ll have to fight hard. Correspondent, call Battalion Commander Zhou to report the situation!”
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu said, “I can climb up from the back of Dingyuan Mountain to sneak up on them and join up with you guys inside and out.”
All the soldiers of the Sharp Knives Company were confused, “It’s a steep 80-degree slope back there, how are you going to get up there?”
“I have a way,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Just give me two packs of TNT.”
The sharp knife company this side with things are quite full, but TNT is generally used to blow up bunkers and battery positions, also do not know what Ren Xiaosu intends to use.
Zhang Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said, “Pay attention to your own safety!”
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt that there is such a fierce man in the company is really very cool, the most dangerous things to grab to do, personal force value also break through the sky, fight the war is really unprecedented ease.
He felt that, not to mention the other aspects of Ren Xiaosu suitable for commander, at least the battlefield has a Ren Xiaosu such a role, really very solid …….
Zhang Xiaoman said to Ren Xiaosu: “Whether other people support you or not is not to be said, at least our sharp knife company supports you, don’t you think so?”
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Support what?”
He always felt as if he had missed some very important information.
At nine o’clock at night, Zhang Xiaoman handed Ren Xiaosu the TNT and rope to carry behind his back, “You must be careful when climbing the back of the mountain, if you feel you can’t climb up, don’t force yourself.”
Ren Xiaosu nodded, “Don’t worry, six hours later, when you hear the sound of TNT on the mountain, you will immediately attack Dingyuan Mountain, first destroy their heavy machine gun sites, I will be inside to cope with you.”
In the military cases that Zhang Xiaoman and the others had studied, in previous wars it was usually the air force that dropped paratroopers to open up gaps from the rear, so that they could effectively avoid the enemy’s fire blockade.
They are destined to have no paratroopers in this era, but they can’t afford to have fierce people who can climb 700 meters of 80 degree cliffs with their bare hands.
Moreover, ordinary paratroopers don’t have the combat power of Ren Xiaosu.
Jiao Xiao Chen looked at Ren Xiaosu’s distant back and suddenly said, “Hear the commotion and hurry to fight, I always feel that if it’s one step too late, he might just finish getting people killed.”
Before the fight Guanshan, everyone is afraid that Ren Xiaosu died on the mountain, this time, everyone is afraid that Ren Xiaosu fight too fast ……
However, Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said, “Dingyuan Mountain is much harder to fight than Guanshan Mountain, the number of people are several times more, according to what Ren Xiaosu said, the main force of Guanshan Mountain also died in a certain battle, and the rest are remnants of the army. We still need to force our way up the mountain as soon as possible to make sure Ren Xiaosu is okay, fighting the war is the business of the entire Pointed Company, we can’t let him take the strain alone.”
“Start noise and light control from now on, no smoking, no talking, no flashlights, march in silence!” Zhang Xiaoman looked at the dark Dingyuan Mountain in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
