Chapter 419: Life is like a play
Zhang Xiaoman said as he walked, “Our commanding officer incorrectly estimated the strength of the troops stationed in this mountain range, if you hadn’t explored the path this time, I’m afraid that the entire Pointed Sword Company would have been lost if we had gotten stuck in the encirclement. Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”
“Thank you from Zhang Xiaoman, +1!”
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “This isn’t really my credit, it’s mainly for solving that sniper, weren’t we suppressed inside the stone pestle at that time.”
“To solve the sniper is not without a solution, we all together rushed out of the stone pestle, his range is afraid that more than a thousand meters, we have six heavy machine guns, the range is not closer than his,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “Why are there many snipers on the battlefield do not match the continuous sniper? Is it because they don’t want to? Of course not.”
“Top snipers dream of having a fully automatic sniper rifle, the battlefield and then accurate single shot is not as good as a continuous shot, but even if the value of the sniper is extremely high, but also afraid of the hands of our big head soldier heavy machine gun. The tripod heavy machine gun that can remotely cover the firepower is itself the natural enemy of snipers.”
This is the battlefield with countless lives groped out the iron law, so some serious snipers are not even shot, decapitation after a hit will go, this is the real vicious snipers, like before Ren Xiaosu encountered the two snipers, purely used to block possible infiltration of the scouts.
On the battlefield, snipers have more than one use.
According to Zhang Xiaoman’s original plan, the opposing snipers were hiding halfway up the mountainside and wanted to suppress them, but Zhang Xiaoman also had the courage of a brave man and rushed out directly to catch the other side off guard as usual.
“But that would still kill a lot of people,” Ren Xiaosu said.
“What’s wrong with dying a little bit, there’s no such thing as not dying in a war,” Zhang Xiaoman said cheerfully, “If I die on the battlefield, that’s what I want.”
This seems to be Zhang Xiaoman’s mantra, “There is no such thing as a dead man in a war.
However, that was the problem, in that previous chase, the reason why Ren Xiaosu wanted to rush out was because he didn’t want the Sharp Dagger Company to die, this was his obsession.
Regardless of whether the idea was childish or not, that was what he thought. It was as if he didn’t deserve to guard anything anymore if the sharp knife company died.
Previously, when Zhang Xiaoman said that there was no such thing as a war where people didn’t die, Ren Xiaosu had said that how would he know unless he tried.
Sensei didn’t care about the future, anyway, this time he did it again.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu and said seriously, “Don’t just talk about me, you yourself can’t go risking your life so much by yourself anymore, we all have one life, and we can’t keep letting you go charging into battle.”
However, Ren Xiaosu insisted, “I will bring you all to live.”
Zhang Xiaoman pondered that something was wrong, how did it make it seem as if Ren Xiaosu was the company commander ……
But now a new problem, since we have wrong information about the garrison in this mountain range, this road is not feasible, but Zhou Yinglong gave them the task of blowing up the bridge over the Beiwan River, this task is not yet completed.
“Bring the map over, let’s figure out how to go around to Beiwan River,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “We are now only two hundred kilometers away from Beiwan River, but we can’t touch it, it’s really urgent.”
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “I’ve always been curious about one thing, this should have been the reconnaissance battalion to do it, why send our sharp knife company over?”
Ren Xiaosu’s heart has been placed in this doubt for a long time, in his opinion, infiltration, raiding, blowing up bridges, this kind of thing, obviously should be the work of the reconnaissance battalion ah, how could they let the sharp knife company to do.
Even if Zhang Jinglin had summoned him as a hard laborer, he wouldn’t have made such an unorthodox arrangement.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at Ren Xiaosu and explained, “At this time, Battalion Commander Zhou’s vanguard battalion has already detached from the advance base and is heading towards the northeastern bearing, explicitly saying that it is going to cross Shichuan Town to join us, but the vanguard battalion has already suddenly turned northward after passing through Shichuan Town, intending to arrive at Qiangwan Mountain within three days and forcefully attack there.”
“Why is that?” Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, Qiangwan Mountain wasn’t too far from Beiwan River, it was a small military garrison of the Zong Clan, but the terrain was extremely difficult to take down.
This place was considered a defense support point near the Beiwan River, keeping watch with the Beiwan River.
“The Vanguard Battalion and the Sharp Knife Company have always been the advance troops of Fortress 178, and the entire Vanguard Battalion’s advance eastward is itself meant to create an illusion of Fortress 178’s main force advancing eastward to buy time for the Black Stone River to build a pontoon bridge,” Zhang Xiaoman said.
Now Ren Xiaosu realized that no matter whether it was the sharp knife company bombing the Beiwan bridge or the forward battalion going to fight Qiangwan Mountain, it was all to cover up the real intention of the strategy, and the drama had to be done to the fullest.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered something: “Inside the forward base, have any of you seen Xu Xianchu?”
“Old Xu?” Zhang Xiaoman said doubtfully, “I don’t think I’ve seen him, or he might have stayed inside the fortress, after all, now that the fortress is empty, it’s important to leave a small handful of main force troops to guard the fortress.”
Ren Xiaosu fell into deep thought, Xu Xianchu, a Transcendent who could do great things in a frontal battlefield, would be sent to station at Fort 178?
He always felt that Xu Xianchu had another mission.
Right at this moment, the correspondent ran over carrying the radio, “Company Commander, the battalion commander is on the phone with you.”
Zhang Xiaoman picked up the phone and then heard Zhou Yinglong ask, “How’s it going on your side?”
Zhang Xiaoman reported, “There are a large number of Zong’s troops stationed in the mountain range heading to the Beiwan River, we are now trying to find a way to cross over from the other direction to see if there is still a possibility of blowing up the Beiwan Bridge.”
However, he heard Zhou Yinglong say, “Have there been any head-on encounters?”
“Sort of,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “Ren Xiaosu knocked out two of their guerrilla companies, and we ambushed and knocked out one of their companies just now, and now they’re blasting mortars into the air. Battalion Commander, how’s it going, didn’t embarrass you?”
“Don’t get too busy being smug, you son of a bitch,” Zhou Yinglong gasped and laughed, “I haven’t even gotten close to Qiangwan Mountain on my side yet, but it turns out that the scouts in front of me came back to say that Qiangwan Mountain has already sent out troops to reinforce the direction of Beiwan River. You guys this fight, Zong’s afraid to think that our main force is going to attack Beiwanhe with full force as if! I’ll see how else your boy mission will be accomplished!”
Zhang Xiaoman froze for a moment, and immediately became anxious: “Then battalion commander, you hurry to hit Qiangwan Mountain, and draw back Qiangwan Mountain’s troops!”
“How the hell am I going to lure them back,” Zhou Yinglong said in a bad mood, “We still need two more days to reach Qiangwan Mountain, but thanks to you guys, it should be easier for us to fight Qiangwan Mountain ……”
Zhang Xiaoman’s face instantly became bitter, there is no drama in the army, no matter what situation they encounter, blowing up the Beiwan Bridge is their dead mission, now that the troops are concentrated at the Beiwan Bridge, how can they fight?
“I’m sorry,” Ren Xiaosu glanced at the communication that hadn’t been hung up yet and said, “It’s all because of me that you guys are in this dilemma, give me all the TNT, I’ll go blow up the Beiwan Bridge alone.”
Zhang Xiaoman scowled and said, “You mean because you got two companies and two snipers killed? This is not to be polite with you ah, without you, we are now headlong into the enemy a regiment of troops surrounded, all right, to die we die together. For the honor of Fort 178, it’s worth it!”
At this time Zhou Yinglong’s communication has not hung up yet, he roared on the phone: “I’m not hanging up the phone in this play to see who, what to die together to die, such a magnificent play are out of not ashamed of it, don’t act, you first rest for two days, wait for me to hit the strong bay mountain to attract the troops over, you break through the Beiwan River again!”
