Chapter 411, Selling Medals
The sniper rifle was a novelty for Ren Xiaosu, who loved sniper rifles, or else he wouldn’t have sought out Yang Xiaoguan to learn before.
Nowadays, even though there were Transcendents, the power of a sniper rifle was still something that most Transcendents couldn’t ignore.
That black sniper bullet in the end what is the use, Ren Xiaosu now do not know, after all, he did not have the opportunity to try, can only be after the wilderness to say.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoman and other people are still drunk in the cafeteria, Ren Xiaosu crying and laughing this group of people one by one to carry back to the barracks, and forward the base of the soldiers are looking at Ren Xiaosu to carry people this scene, once carry two people, back and forth is actually more than sixty trips.
On that day, even Ren Xiaosu carried his comrades back to the barracks, but also became the forward base of the interesting story.
At night, Zhang Xiaoman woke up dazed, but after hearing that Ren Xiaosu carried them back one by one, he thanked Ren Xiaosu, “Xiaosu, thank you for carrying us back, we definitely won’t drink like this in the future, it’s too embarrassing.”
However, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was actually not happy, only to hear Ren Xiaosu say, “Drink ah! How can a big man not drink!”
If you don’t drink, where can you get so many Thank You Coins isn’t it!
Before drinking, there were only over eight hundred Thank You Coins, and after drinking, there were surprisingly over five hundred Thank You Coins left to unlock a round of weapons!
Ren Xiaosu wanted to tell Zhang Xiaoman, why don’t we all stop going to the battlefield and drink every day?
After unlocking the sniper rifle, the palace had once again released a side quest for the third weapon, and this time, it required 10,000 Thank You coins to unlock it.
Ren Xiaosu didn’t even know where to get so many Thank You Coins yet.
Suddenly, Zhou Yinglong walked into the barracks of the Pointed Sword Company, and he frowned when he smelled the odor of alcohol in the barracks, “Zhang Xiaoman, get the hell up.”
Everyone in the Pointed Sword Company got up from their beds and stood in two rows on the aisle in a disciplined manner, Zhou Yinglong paced around and looked at the soldiers, “Look at how drunk you all have become. Do you still look like soldiers?”
Zhang Xiaoman muttered in a giddy voice, “We are the meritocracy, didn’t we say that we will have a new mission only the day after tomorrow.”
Zhou Yinglong laughed, “You don’t have to call out reports after drinking? You need to add the word sir when you talk to me!”
Zhang Xiaoman froze for a moment and said, “Report, this officer is a combat meritocracy!”
With a rumble, Zhou Yinglong directly kicked Zhang Xiaoman over, “Sober up, your Pointed Blade Company will have a new mission tomorrow, sober up and come report to me!”
As soon as he heard about the new mission, Zhang Xiaoman got up from the ground and immediately became energized, “Battalion Commander, what mission? Is it urgent?”
“Secret mission, talk to me when you’re sober,” Zhou Yinglong said and went out with his hands behind his back.
The soldiers in the Pointed Sword Company’s barracks looked at each other in disbelief, what kind of mission was a secret mission?
In the past, usually this kind of secret mission was not the turn of the Pointed Sword Company, although they could fight hard battles and attack, infiltration ambushes were not something they were good at.
So the secret mission is always the reconnaissance battalion to do, that reconnaissance battalion in the soldiers one by one are like livestock, weekdays in the military district competition, the top ten are also basically in the reconnaissance battalion.
But now how suddenly let the sharp knife company also go to carry out a secret mission?
The next day Zhang Xiaoman frowned when he came back from Zhou Yinglong’s place, he said to the soldiers of the sharp knife company, “The main force will advance to the north towards the Heishi River, after crossing the river is the line of the Zong’s defense line, the Wuchuan Mountain.”
“What about us?” Jiao Xiao Chen asked.
“We’re going to leave this afternoon and head to the line of Qiangwan Mountain and Beiwan River, detouring to the flanks of the battlefield, blowing up bridges, cutting off Zong’s eastern supply lines, and ultimately joining up with the main force at Wuchuan Mountain.”
“Just one of our companies, going deep into the rear to cut off supply lines? And blow up bridges? That bridge over the Beiwan River is heavily guarded by Zong,” Jiao Xiao Chen was shocked, “Battalion Commander Zhou thinks too highly of us, doesn’t he?”
“This is an order,” Zhang Xiaoman said seriously, “Pack up your things and leave at 4pm sharp, you must arrive at Beiwan River seven days later and blow up the Zong’s bridges over Beiwan River to ensure that the main battlefield of Heishi River is free from worries.”
Heishi River, Beiwan River, are two lines with very different directions, the command thinks that breaking through Beiwan River is too costly, so it would rather build a pontoon bridge over Heishi River and raid the northern Wuchuan Mountain defense line, which is also more stable than taking Beiwan River.
The only thing that needed to be worried about was that the enemy over the Beiwan River was likely to take advantage of the war on the Wuchuan Mountain front and then send out troops to sneak up on the flanks of the 178th Fortress’s main force, so the Sharpshooter Company was sent out to cut off the road so that Zong would not be able to pass through the Beiwan River for a while.
Only, this mission was difficult, and it was tantamount to letting the sharpshooter company go in alone.
However, Zhou Yinglong said that the matter of blowing up the Beiwan Bridge must be done in secret and at a designated time, so the fewer people performing this task, the better.
At this time, the vast majority of the people in the forward base were still unaware of what strategy the command had formulated, and the side of the sharp knife company suddenly said that they wanted to cross-country stretching, and a group of people ran out of the forward base with their marching rucksacks and guns on their backs. Originally, everyone thought that the sharp knife company would have two or three days of effort at most for this stretching, but only after two or three days did they realize that the sharp knife company had actually gone away without returning… …
……
The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company trekked over the wilderness, and each of them wore a new medal on their chests, which had the word Shichuan engraved on it, something that all the soldiers who had participated in the Battle of Shichuan Town had gotten.
Fu Rao muttered as he walked, “Hey, Company Commander, how much do you think this medal can be sold for?”
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, “This is the first major battle in the true sense of the word after the Group Army’s expedition, and Dingyuan Mountain being a bandit den doesn’t count, so the commemorative significance is still relatively large, right, and with a total of just a few hundred issued, I estimate that it can be sold for 10,000 dollars.”
“That’s not bad,” Fu Rao was happy, “Go back and sell them.”
Ren Xiaosu listened on the sidelines, “Doesn’t this medal represent honor, and you guys say you’ll sell it?”
He searched for the previous also felt that the sharp knife company honor is quite strong it ……
“What’s wrong with that,” Zhang Xiaoman laughed cheerfully, “The medal is sold to others, our honor is gone? Third-class merit is still there ah, medal for something more affordable is not good, ten thousand dollars to buy some lamb chops, it does not smell ah?”
At the same time the medal was issued, the third class merit, which had been withdrawn before, was also reissued, only that it was all done in secret, I’m afraid that after they completed this mission, they would make up for the awarding ceremony.
Ren Xiaosu said in his heart that the hooligans of this sharp knife company were really shameless, even the medals could be exchanged for money, and such a company, fighting the war was on the other hand fierce as if they didn’t want to die.
