Chapter 466, 184 should be present, 183 actually present
On that day, when Li Shentan hypnotized the armored brigade, he explained that only Zong’s soldiers could be killed, and not indiscriminately.
Li Shentan’s hypnosis was amazing, unlike Zong Seung who turned people into machines that only obeyed orders, Li Shentan hid a command in a person’s subconscious.
Targets hypnotized by Li Shentan even had the ability to think for themselves, which simply meant that they could tell which was a Zong soldier and which wasn’t.
Although Ren Xiaosu and the others were driving Zong’s Land Cruiser, they were dressed in straggler clothing.
So although the armored brigade was chasing after them and wanted to hit the Zong’s troops, they couldn’t kill indiscriminately when the sharp knife company was blocking the road.
Once the sharpshooter company ducked out of the way, the artillery fire blasted up.
Where was a remnant army a match for an entire armored brigade?
Or rather, today, in the entire Northwest Zong’s barriers, the strongest defense force is only the 146th Barrier Combat Brigade, and the rest of the men are fighting on the front lines.
So the 131st Brigade was in the rear and couldn’t find any opponents at all.
Those soldiers of the 131st Brigade sat quietly inside the armored vehicles, because they hadn’t rested for a long time, so much so that their eyes were deep-set and blackened.
But they couldn’t sleep until the moment they truly ran out of gas.
The Sharpshooter Company looked at the armored brigade that was going absolutely nowhere before looking at Ren Xiaosu: “What’s the situation here?”
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment, “I think there might be someone called Li Shentan, controlling them.”
In fact, Ren Xiaosu didn’t have any definite evidence, but the armored brigade was behind them, and had clearly enveloped the Sharp Dagger Company within range, but didn’t fire, which made Ren Xiaosu suddenly feel that something wasn’t right.
Don’t ask, asking is intuition.
Recalling what he had seen in Li’s Barrier earlier, after being hypnotized by Li Shentan, he would go crazy and exhaust all his potential, I’m afraid that this armored brigade wouldn’t be able to hold out for too long.
Looking at the armored brigade heading straight to the next barrier, Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that Li Shentan had done 178 Fortress a great favor.
Or perhaps the other party originally intended to help himself?
Either way, this armored brigade was bound to bring a great surprise to Zong.
Ren Xiaosu asked, “How is Commander Zhang and his men’s battle in the south going?”
“It’s still going well, but the Zong’s will to resist in a frontal battle is relatively tenacious, winning is definitely possible, but we’re going to have to pay some price,” Zhang Xiaoman sighed.
“And this time, Xiaosu, you killed most of the Zong’s top management, the Zong’s internal affairs are definitely in chaos,” Jiao Xiao Chen said.
Hearing that Fortress 178 could win, Ren Xiaosu suddenly let go of his heart, but he heard that kidnapped deputy leader say, “Not necessarily, frontline general Zong Ying’s prestige in the army is still okay, and he’s been growing his wings in recent years. It is because of this that the Zong hierarchy has put him on hold for three years, and now that this Zong hierarchy is out of control, he might take the opportunity to consolidate the Zongs and become the new ……”
Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Xiaoman say, “No, this matter must be told to the commander.”
With that, he directly dialed the satellite phone and repeated the deputy chief’s statement to Wang Feng Yuan, resulting in Wang Feng Yuan saying, “It’s fine, Zong Ying won’t survive the night.”
After saying that, Wang Fengyuan hung up the phone.
Zhang Xiaoman and the others looked at each other in dismay, and Ren Xiaosu said, “It seems that Commander Zhang has long since figured out how to deal with him, and this was left as a backhand.”
As a matter of fact, Fortress 178 did leave a backhand, ever since Xu Xianchu ambushed Zong’s troops on the Gobi, that one backhand started to kick in, for example, at this moment, many survivors of Zong’s three houses in the 146th Barrier wanted to escape, but they suddenly bumped into the fortune-teller who was standing in their way.
For example, on the front line, Zong Ying was still unaware of the impending danger.
Zhang Jinglin hibernated for more than ten years and just returned to the northwest to destroy the Zong Clan, since then 178 Fortress has no more rivals in the northwest, the entire southwest and northwest, only the Qing Clan is left across the river from 178 Fortress.
If someone else were to ask Wang Feng Yuan, Wang Feng Yuan would definitely not say anything, and it is only the Sharp Dagger Company that can have such treatment and still be able to ask something from Wang Feng Yuan.
The feat of breaking 146 barriers is not something that anyone can do.
When the 178th Fortress generals on the frontline heard that the northern 146th Barrier had been brought down by the Sharp Dagger Company, their expressions soured.
Zhang Xiaoman and others have completed their mission at this time, this battlefield battle basically has nothing to do with them, the sharp knife company has received orders to head south, and Zhou Yinglong forward battalion convergence on the spot to repair, and then back to the 178 fortress to go.
Zhang Xiaoman said happily, “This time, we’ve won the Nebula Medal, half of Zong’s top brass were killed by our Pointed Blade Company, and a Pointed Blade Company has fought out a brigade’s momentum.”
“Bah,” Jiao Xiao Chen laughed and scolded, “You’re really shameless for being a company commander, obviously it’s all Ren Xiaosu’s work, what does it have to do with you? Without Ren Xiaosu, it’s not certain if we could have survived until now.”
“Ren Xiaosu is also a member of our Pointed Sword Company,” Zhang Xiaoman said unhappily, “We are a collective, you know!”
The soldiers of Pointed Dagger Company sat in the car tiredly, they suddenly had a feeling of relaxation, everyone knew that the war in Northwest China was coming to an end, and the rest of the battle had nothing to do with them.
But when everyone thought back carefully, it seemed like what Jiao Xiao Chen said, in this war, if there was no Ren Xiaosu, they were afraid that they would have died long ago.
From flying over Dingyuan Mountain and Guanshan Mountain, to piercing through the Beiwan Mountain range to help attract hatred for the main force, to crossing the river at Strong Bay Mountain, to destroying the 144 Barrier logistical supply line, to destroying the military factory, and finally destroying the 146 Barrier.
No wonder the frontline generals were a bit sour, even though the Pointed Company hadn’t fought many hard battles, the Pointed Company had done more than most combat sequences, and they only had 184 men.
Some people sneak a look at Ren Xiaosu sitting in the car, after this battle, I’m afraid that no one will dislike Ren Xiaosu.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu was still far from being a commander, fighting and commanding were two different things.
But there was still a long time to go, and they felt that one day, this teenager would grow up and become like Zhang Jinglin, becoming the backbone of Fort 178.
Only Ren Xiaosu remained silent as he leaned on the car seat, looking at the smoke and dust raised by the gusty wind in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the combat troops were about to arrive at the assembly location, it was already evening, Zhou Yinglong had stood at the entrance of the camp waiting for them early, not only Zhou Yinglong, but also Wang Fengyuan, Zhang Jinglin and other important generals were all here.
The place of assembly was the 178th Fortress Northern Command.
Zhang Xiaoman jumped out of the car with a limp, and Zhou Yinglong went up and kicked him in anger: “Obviously not injured, what are you pretending for?”
Zhang Xiaoman playfully hurriedly stood up straight, “Doesn’t this make us look more heroic?”
Saying that, the sharp knife company had already stood up behind Zhang Xiaoman, who roared, “Report the number!”
“1!”
“2!”
“……”
“182!”
A series of counting down, the sharp knife company soldiers still have a loud voice, but the number to 182 will end, Zhang Xiaoman feel a little bit wrong: “Why is there one less?”
Together with Zhang Xiaoman, there should be 184 people, but now there is one less.
Suddenly Jiao Xiao Chen was puzzled, “Wait, where’s Ren Xiaosu?”
“Right! Where’s Ren Xiaosu!”
Zhang Jinglin calmly stood in front of the queue, so many generals stayed here purely because they wanted to see what the legendary Ren Xiaosu actually looked like, but it turned out that Ren Xiaosu was missing?
Zhou Yinglong looked at Zhang Xiaoman: “What happened to you, you lost Ren Xiaosu?”
Zhang Xiaoman was also anxious: “Did any of you see Ren Xiaosu just now?”
“Saw it, just now, he was still there, he was sitting on the very outside of the truck, I don’t know how he disappeared.”
“Yeah, I saw it too!”
Zhang Jinglin let out a sigh, “Forget it, let him be.”
At this point, Zhang Jinglin had already understood that Ren Xiaosu had briefly joined Fortress 178 because of Zong, only to go far away again because Zong had broken up, and this place could not keep him after all.
Wang Fengyuan whispered, “Is it because there really is some kind of disconnect ……”
Zhang Jinglin shook his head, “It doesn’t matter.”
After saying that, Zhang Jinglin looked at Zhang Xiaoman, “Continue.”
Zhang Xiaoman stood up straight, his arm powerfully swung to his ear and saluted, “Reporting to the Commander, the Pointed Sword Company should be 184 people, the actual 183 people ……”
When speaking, Zhang Xiaoman’s heart is full of pride, but after the sharp knife company is missing a person, let Zhang Xiaoman’s heart always feel empty, hard to kill.
Ren Xiaosu even left without saying goodbye.
Thinking back to this month of time together, those difficulties and dangers, are like a seal.
Talking about it, Zhang Xiaoman was actually suddenly sad, Zhou Yinglong didn’t have the good sense to say, “Didn’t we win the battle, what kind of expression is this.”
“Reporting to the battalion commander, we agreed that not a single one would be left behind, but we failed to bring Ren Xiaosu back.”
Everyone suddenly fell silent, no one had thought beforehand that the Pointed Sword Company had really not lost a single one of them.
The remaining sun was like blood.
