Chapter 435, Pursuit
Zong Jing was the best of the younger generation of the four houses of the Zong Clan, and it was because Zong Cheng was a Transcendent while he was an ordinary person that he was pushed down.
Of course, excellence was only relative to the Zong Clan’s internal, if you counted the external, Qing Zhen was about the same age as them, yet at this time, he had already become the Lord of the Qing Clan.
However, it seemed that because of Qing Zhen’s matter, the presidium of the Zong Clan had a hint of wariness of the troops controlled by the children below them, fearing that Qing’s matter would repeat itself in the Zong Clan.
The four houses of the Zong Clan knew in their hearts that Zong Kyung was definitely no match for Zong Seung Zong Prime Minister in terms of competition, but the problem was that people couldn’t die!
Moreover, Zong Kyung had brought along two of the most elite snipers in the Zong Clan’s army, realizing that the cost of training a sniper like that was comparable to a pre-catastrophe fighter pilot!
“Pull out the scout battalion and head to the 144th Barrier,” a general said grimly, “I’ll make sure this 178th Fortress force has no way of coming back!”
“Seconded, this kind of pursuit battle in the wilderness is better left to the reconnaissance battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion is not yet needed on the front battlefield of Mt. Wu Chuan, and most importantly, we cannot let this 178th Fortress gain insight into our subsequent plans,” the general sitting at the very top of the conference table said in a deep voice.
At these words, everyone pro-formed a stern look, as if this follow-up plan was very important.
Moreover, the 144 barriers were the Zong’s granary, and the frontline’s military rations could probably only last for about 15 days, if this matter was not resolved in a hurry, I’m afraid that all the frontline’s fights would be affected.
“It’s decided, notify the scout battalion to leave immediately, as well as the position of this infantry regiment leader, I recommend letting Zong Han take over. The loss of the Beiwan River has proven that Zong Han is not suitable for the position of Brigade Commander of the Combat Brigade, let him be demoted to report to the 144th Barrier.”
“Seconded, but this time, don’t make the same stupid mistake as last time and have the 1237th Regiment send troops to meet him.”
The various generals of the Zong were upset, this matter actually didn’t seem to have much of an impact on the Zong as a whole, but this unit that was roaming around in the rear was like a thorn in the flesh, it hurt to pull it out, but it was hard not to pull it out.
Obviously, the Wu Chuan Mountain is going to start a decisive battle, but they still have to draw troops to the rear.
However, the sharp knife company seemed to have evaporated from the earth, and actually never appeared at the 144th Barrier again within seven days.
After Zong’s scout battalion arrived, they started tracking the place where Zongjing was attacked. These people were all good hunters in the wilderness, and it was too easy to find traces of a company.
Such as broken grass branches, such as feces and other traces of life.
Only when they chased them to the edge of a creek, the traces came to an abrupt end, and the Zong soldiers on the scout battalion’s side realized that the Sharpshooter Company had used this very creek to leave, but where the other side had gone was unknown.
This made it very difficult for the Zong.
It s like, the most disgusting thing is not seeing a palm sized hairy spider in your house, but in a flash, it is gone ……
Three more days later, three military factories near the 145th Barrier were attacked, and these three factories weren’t places with any technological content, they were factories that produced the most common bullets, grenades, and mortar shells.
The guarding force of the military factories was still relatively tight, however, this mysterious 178th Fortress force even looked like it had come prepared, and blew up all three factories within a day.
Of course, the fact that Pointed Dagger Company was able to do so quickly was all due to the help of the stragglers, or else they wouldn’t have gotten such specific intelligence information.
After the bombing, the Company once again used the streams and rivers to leave, hiding somewhere in the wilderness.
Some of the generals on the Zong’s side were going crazy with anger: ”It seems that this 178th fortress was well prepared, this is not a force that crossed the river by accident? It’s clearly trying to follow the example of the Gyeong Clan and come at our arsenal! Tell the guard regiments of those barriers that if anything happens to the arsenal again, I’ll shoot them!”
For a while, the entire northern arsenal was put on alert, each one of them looked as if they were on the verge of an enemy, and half of the troops stationed at the barriers were split out to guard the arsenal.
At this time, Zong’s reconnaissance battalion finally lived up to its name and embellished the sharp knife company, and even had a distant view of the sharp knife company’s retreating figure on the hill.
Zong’s reconnaissance battalion cursed all the heart, this 178 fortress troops how a little route planning are not, want to one out of the way, want to go wherever you want to go?
At first, Zong’s scout battalion chased in the rear, saw some messy traces of clues, but also thought that this is the sharp knife company intentionally mislead them, but then almost caught up with a number of times, they suddenly felt that, from the group of players usually do not hide traces of the style of point of view, the previous that is not at all what intentionally leave the wrong information to mislead them, purely the wrong way and turned back!
However, the more this happened, the more disgusted the Zong’s scout battalion became, and they felt that they had almost figured out the way of thinking of the sharp knife company after the company attacked the military factory.
So Zong’s reconnaissance battalion took a shortcut, wanting to set up an ambush in advance, but the results of the delay in waiting for the appearance of the sharp knife company, and then realized that the sharp knife company actually turned back again.
What is this? Not afraid of pursuers behind, even dare to turn back?
In fact, the sharp knife company went back is not for anything else, just because Fu Rao before playing Shichuan town medals lost on the road, they go back to the road to see if they can find, after all, that’s 10,000 dollars it ……
Of course, the sharp knife company can not be so child’s play, Fu Rao want to go back to find the medal when asked Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu said just he wanted to go back.
There is another layer of insurance for the Company of Daggers, and that is the shadow that swims in the wilderness.
As a matter of fact, as long as you have a small enough target, wanting to hide in this wilderness isn’t a difficult thing, if the Pointed Sword Company had more people, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to play guerrilla like this.
“Where are we going now?” Zhang Xiaoman asked.
“That group of soldiers behind us is a bit tricky, it always feels like their overall quality is a whole lot stronger than the Zong soldiers we fought off earlier,” Ren Xiaosu frowned.
If it was an ordinary troop, they would have been thrown off long ago, but this troop was very difficult to deal with.
Ren Xiaosu had also thrown down a few seeds of thorny vines to try to shade the other side, but the result was that the other side didn’t get hit at all, and the other side circled around when they saw the odd red vines on the grass.
Even if someone was accidentally entangled, the others would fight to rescue them, so it was hard for the thorn vines to cause any casualties to them.
“It’s not a good idea to always let them chase after us, seeing as how several times they were about to engage in a close-range firefight,” Zhang Xiaoman mused, “Why don’t we do them a favor?”
“No,” Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “I suspect that they also have snipers, how could such an elite battalion not have snipers? So it’s better to avoid it.”
“Then what?”
