Chapter 418, Great Victory

Ren Xiaosu limped up the hill, he hid behind the fortifications and gasped for breath and laughed, “I got the snipers killed, and two more, and both guerrilla companies as well.”

“Bragging about it,” Zhang Xiaoman laughed cheerfully, however, when he saw the thousands of Zong’s pursuers behind the hounds, he immediately couldn’t laugh anymore, “Did you really kill two guerrilla companies and snipers all by yourself?”

Usually, the Pointed Sword Company was used to bragging about each other, so when Ren Xiaosu said such appalling news, everyone subconsciously felt that Ren Xiaosu was bragging.

Ren Xiaosu said, “There are many pursuers behind us, let’s withdraw.”

“That won’t do,” Zhang Xiaoman said happily, “You are so fierce, we in the Pointed Sword Company can’t hold you back, no matter how many soldiers come today, we will destroy them all!”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that Zhang Xiaoman and the others were exceptionally well prepared here, and seemed to have long been ready to fight this ambush.

“Company Commander,” Jiao Xiao Chen looked into the distance and suddenly said, “Let’s withdraw ……”

However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the vast Zong soldiers in the distance, because the distance was still far away, the Zong soldiers looked like small black dots from afar.

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu’s words had a little water in them, and the other side would not have sent so many people over to clear the mountains.

This was a gesture to annihilate the 178th Fortress’s vanguard forces!

Ren Xiaosu asked, “Why are you ambushed here?”

Zhang Xiaoman said with a big grin, “We were just worried that you’d play big and get chased down, so we ambushed here, in itself, to receive you, we just didn’t expect you to play so big.”

“Right,” Jiao Xiao Chen said, “We originally guessed that it would be good if you could get that sniper killed, and then the guerrilla company would definitely pursue you, and then we would block each other at this Old Crow’s Mouth and knock out the guerrilla company, but it turned out to be a no-brainer that you had already gotten the guerrilla company killed, and lured in Zong’s A small branch of the main force, haha, bull!”

Zhang Xiaoman said with concern, “Is there any problem with the injury?”

“It’s fine, I’ve applied black medicine,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Let’s run away, the enemy force is a bit much.”

At this time, Fu Rao and the others had already killed all the hounds, the Sharp Knife Company definitely couldn’t carry so many Zong’s soldiers, so running was the best choice.

However, Zhang Xiaoman turned his thoughts and said, “What the hell is still hesitating, run …… However, we can not just run away, we have to do a big job before leaving, Jiao Xiao Chen, set up your mortars, all of them, prepare to fight!”

Ren Xiaosu frowned, “There are a lot of enemies.”

Zhang Xiaoman said seriously, “Did you see them bring heavy weapons? This is a guerrilla force, and we can’t get mechanized troops into the mountains, so it’s a sure thing if we occupy the high slopes to hit them with a wave.”

“They’ve already heard the machine guns, so they shouldn’t be rushing over to die,” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Can’t you see, the chief officer of this unit has gone up to his head, he’s been beaten up by you,” Zhang Xiaoman laughed, “Do you think everyone is a famous general in the world? Zong has hunkered down in the north all these years and hasn’t even fought a decent battle, the officers are really far worse in their ability to respond to the situation, don’t think that being able to be an officer means that you must be a very calm and smart person, if that was the case, there wouldn’t have been so many muddled battles in history.”

Ren Xiaosu was silent.

Zhang Xiaoman said happily, “You think I’m underestimating the heroes of the world? No, this is called knowing our enemy and knowing ourselves, if the Zong Clan is replaced with the Qing Clan, the Commander may not really be willing to send out troops to open up the merchant road, if this is the Qing Clan’s battle-hardened troops, I would turn around and run away right now. But consortia also have strengths and weaknesses, it’s not unreasonable for the Zong Clan to be squeezed aside by the Qing Clan and the Yang Clan, we’re not underestimating them, it’s they themselves who can’t.”

At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that the brown men of Fortress 178 actually felt that the Qing Clan’s troops were several levels above the level of the Zong Clan’s troops, and in their eyes, only the Qing Clan was the truly difficult opponent.

As if to corroborate Zhang Xiaoman’s words, the soldiers on the Zong’s side who had rushed to the fortress were still marching forward with the help of the mountain bunkers under the orders of their superiors, even though they knew that there were machine guns.

It was actually trying to forcefully knock out the sharpshooter company!

While Zhang Xiaoman’s side waited for the other side to get into range, he immediately ordered to open fire, and together with the six mortars on Jiao Xiao Chen’s side, they frantically bombarded the Zong’s troops.

Seeing that just one round of attack had almost knocked out a company of Zong’s charging up, it was only then that the other side was completely sobered up.

Zong’s troops retreated back like a tidal wave!

At this time, Zhang Xiaoman got up and packed up his things, “Hurry up and go hurry up, damn Zong’s mortars are going to bombard over, they should have already adjusted the angle of their mortars in these times, if we don’t go, it will be too late.”

This scene gave Ren Xiaosu a blank stare, from just now when Zhang Xiaoman decided to fight, he has not said anything, at this time Zhang Xiaoman “did a big job” after, actually ran faster than a rabbit, completely not just that the heroic spirit of the same.

When they just withdrew from the hill, Zong’s artillery fire really covered the position where they were just now.

Zhang Xiaoman exclaimed, “Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have stayed here. This time, we got a lot of credit, counting Ren Xiaosu’s fight, we actually knocked out three of Zong’s companies, haha, going back is another third class merit, maybe there’s even a second class merit we can get.”

Ren Xiaosu curiously said, “Company Commander, aren’t you afraid that they will use artillery first?”

“No, they can’t determine our exact position at first, and they haven’t had time to adjust the angle of the mortar, so they won’t be able to hit us.”

However, at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly said seriously, “Company Commander, although I don’t know that you guys know the Zong’s troops very well, but let’s try not to underestimate them in the future, just in case we haven’t gotten away yet when the artillery fire comes, won’t we get hit by it? I truly hope that we can all go back alive.”

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoman, the Sharp Knife Company had always followed Zhang Xiaoman in licking blood on the tip of the knife, even during drills, they specialized in picking dangerous things to play with their heartbeat.

It was this style that the people outside would call the people of Fort 178 a killing billet.

Ren Xiaosu continued, “I’m not questioning Company Commander’s way of fighting, but I hope that we’ll be a little more cautious, after all, in case we meet a particularly clever opponent once, I’m afraid that we’ll all be hitched to it, even if it’s just a one in 10,000 chance, we can’t afford to gamble on it.”

Zhang Xiaoman was silent for a while and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

The surrounding Pointed Sword Company soldiers froze for a moment, there were people who had advised Zhang Xiaoman before, but Zhang Xiaoman had never listened to them.

“What are you looking at,” Zhang Xiaoman said unhappily, “What are you looking at me for, do I have flowers on my face? Hurry up and retreat!”

Zong’s mechanized forces couldn’t enter the mountains, so they weren’t afraid of Zong’s continued pursuit, and the Sharp Knife Company didn’t run any slower than Zong.
