Chapter 407, Randomization

War was easily exhausting, one could not even sleep soundly on the battlefield, and this kind of mental exertion could only be carried by a true warrior.

When the third night was about to fall, Zhang Xiaoman ordered to check the firearms and delivered his own pre-war mobilization, “All of you pressurize the bullets for me, we’re going to end the battle tonight, I know all of you are very tired ……”

“Not tired ah Company Commander,” Jiao Xiao Chen cheerfully laughed, “The frontal battlefield has Ren Xiaosu who has been opening up a safe zone, we’re just making up for it, there’s nothing tiring about it.”

Zhang Xiaoman’s words were his usual pre-decisive mobilization, basically the most dangerous before the end of the battle, so he hoped that the soldiers under his command could cheer up and face it well.

He wasn’t good at pre-battle mobilization, so this speech was still summed up when he was resting, but as a result, it doesn’t apply now.

Looking at the two days of high-intensity battles fought down, the soldiers of the Pointed Sword Company were instead more exuberant than one another, and did not have any fatigue at all.

This was different from previous battles, which had never been this easy before.

Zhang Xiaoman lamented, “Forget about it, fight and be done with it, everyone pay attention, before, Battalion Commander Zhou and the others suspected that there are large-scale weapons of mass destruction hidden in this Shichuan Town, so on the last day, if the enemy is pushed to desperation, they will most likely activate this kind of weapon.”

Ren Xiaosu curiously said, “Did Battalion Commander Zhou and the others say what might be hidden in this Shichuan Town?”

“Probably something like artillery,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “Our 178th Fortress is still a bit lacking in terms of intelligence work right now, and hasn’t ascertained exactly how much and what the defending forces here have.”

In terms of intelligence work, Ren Xiaosu really admired Qing.

The preparations that that Qing Zhuan had made for the war were almost all-encompassing and far-thinking.

On the other hand, on the 178th Fortress side, Zhang Jinglin had left for more than a decade, and the entire Fortress had been in a state of near-herdlessness.

Although there was the position of acting commander, even this acting commander was rushed, so this army-born Northwest man only grasped armament and army training, army turnover, and didn’t do much to develop the economy and intelligence work, it was really because he wasn’t good at them.

During the daytime, the Shichuan Town defenders had launched a round of frantic attack, but after that attack was repulsed, there was no movement.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoman thought that he was giving Zong a honest fight, but Ren Xiaosu stayed outside the shadow has been sticking to the shadows and quietly penetrated to the back, he actually found that, in the midst of this attack, the rear of the Shichuan Town defenders are slowly retreating.

Ren Xiaosu thought carefully, I’m afraid that this attack is to cover for the retreat of the army behind, only this retreat will not let Zhang Xiaoman them notice.

However, why are the Shichuan Town defenders retreating?

Ren Xiaosu couldn’t think in time, “Company Commander, let’s retreat backward.”

“Retreat? We just won a battle, you’re asking us to retreat?” Zhang Xiaoman wondered.

“There is danger,” Ren Xiaosu said seriously.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned, “We went to the frontline to face the danger head on, how can we retreat? And in case we retreat too much, many of the streets and alleys were fought in vain before.”

“The defenders at the back of Shichuan Town are withdrawing, there must be a reason for this!” Ren Xiaosu said.

“How do you know that they’ve withdrawn, aren’t your people always here?” Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, “We’ve fought up to here, we can’t withdraw!”

“If we could fight it down before, we can still fight it down later,” Ren Xiaosu said eagerly, “Let’s withdraw! What if Zong directly covers Shichuan Town with artillery fire?”

“How can that be? We only have three companies in Shichuan Town, if they directly cover it with artillery fire, it’s no different from a cannon hitting a mosquito.”

Zhang Xiaoman was still about to say something when he realized that he was being carried by Ren Xiaosu, Zhang Xiaoman was immediately startled: “You put me down!”

Just that Ren Xiaosu completely ignored what he said, and even carried Zhang Xiaoman and frantically ran towards the outskirts of Shichuan Town.

This move of his confused the rest of the Sharp Knives Company, Zhang Xiaoman yelled over Ren Xiaosu’s shoulder, “You put me down, Ren Xiaosu, you disobeyed the military order, beware I’ll shoot you!”

Ren Xiaosu said as he ran, “If it’s just three companies here, of course Zong won’t make such a big deal out of it, but if Zong realizes that I’m here as well, that’s a different story.”

Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment, he actually didn’t understand what Ren Xiaosu meant for a moment.

While the Sharp Knife Company, Second Company, and Third Company were still frozen, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly sighed over Ren Xiaosu’s shoulder, “Retreat retreat retreat! Ren Xiaosu, if you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’m really going to court-martial you.”

All the soldiers and non-commissioned officers looked at each other in dismay, what else could they do, follow the retreat.

This withdrawal, actually is directly withdrawn to the outside of Shichuan town, Ren Xiaosu ran out of Shichuan town and ran hard for two kilometers, before stopping.

Zhang Xiaoman in Ren Xiaosu shoulder are fast to be upside down spit, not to mention, Ren Xiaosu’s physical strength is really good, carrying more than a hundred pounds of people cross-country running a few kilometers, nothing at all!

As a result, just after Ren Xiaosu put Zhang Xiaoman on the ground, all the soldiers of the Pointed Sword Company saw a huge fire erupting in the direction of Shichuan Town, and the sound of explosions could be heard from afar.

Even from several kilometers away, everyone could feel the ground trembling.

It was not the artillery coverage, in fact, there was no need for artillery coverage at all, but the explosives left behind by the Shichuan Town defenders had brought the entire abandoned town into the sea of fire.

Zhang Xiaoman stared at the scene in a daze, “How damn evil, if I hadn’t left, I’m afraid all three companies would have been finished.”

He didn’t pursue the matter of Ren Xiaosu carrying him away, at this moment, all the soldiers of the Sharp Knives Company, the Second Company and the Third Company were looking at the sea of fire with palpitations.

Because of the explosions just now, everyone was experiencing short-lived tinnitus.

“How do you know they withdrew?” Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu curiously.

“That’s something I don’t want to talk about right now,” Ren Xiaosu replied bluntly as well.

“Alright,” Zhang Xiaoman didn’t delve deeper, but thought about it and said, “But you still have to listen to orders in the future, have you forgotten what I said ……”

Ren Xiaosu said, “Company Commander you said that you should be able to improvise.”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Jiao Xiao Chen, “Did I say that?”

Jiao Xiao Chen honestly said, “Said that.”

Zhang Xiaoman himself was happy, this was the celebratory joy of surviving a robbery, he said solemnly to Ren Xiaosu, “Thank you.”

“Thank you from Zhang Xiaoman, +1!”

This was indeed a life-saving favor, if it wasn’t for Ren Xiaosu’s quick reaction, I’m afraid that all three companies would have been lost.

Sensei, Ren Xiaosu’s arrival was like an insurance policy for everyone’s life.

And as Ren Xiaosu looked at this record of thanks, he looked towards the others.
