In Li Qingzheng's imagination, when they arrived at Position 313, the soldiers there would definitely line the streets to welcome them. They might even take the initiative to serve them hot food. After all, it had been like this all along the way.
But when Ren Xiaosu led the private troops to Position 313, he realized the soldiers in the barracks did not seem to be very enthusiastic about them. It was the complete opposite of the attitude of the FOB.
The soldiers in the military transport vehicles looked at them coldly. When the private troops arrived at the barracks, there was not even a single person who came to greet them.
Li Qingzheng scratched his head at the entrance of the barracks. "What's going on? Are they not welcoming us?"
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "Anyone can welcome us, but the soldiers at Position 313 won't. Just like Chen Wudi said, if even you can guess that we've become a target on the battlefield, then the commanding officer at Position 313 will definitely be able to guess it too."
With that, Li Qingzheng understood. The FOB welcomed them because they had a promising future ahead of them. But Position 313 did not welcome them because their arrival meant Qing Zhen would likely place a large number of troops here.
It would be strange if the soldiers at Position 313 were in a good mood when they thought they might have to fight the toughest battle in the future.
But Ren Xiaosu did not care about that. He went straight to the sentry post to complete the entry procedures and then casually led the 500-odd private troops into the barracks.
At this moment, an officer blocked Ren Xiaosu's path. He looked at the soldiers behind Ren Xiaosu and saw that they were all standing crookedly. How did they look like a unit that could fight?
Although Ren Xiaosu and the others had wiped out the Kyung Clan's Special Forces, the problem was that it still did not change the nature of the refugees in the group. Not only were they standing crookedly, but they were also not even wearing their uniforms neatly.
Initially, the officer at Position 313 was thinking that if they came, so be it. It would be fine even if they sent an elite unit.
But from the looks of it, this so-called Heroes Battalion was just a lucky bastard!
The officer frowned at Ren Xiaosu and said, "So you're Ren Xiaosu?"
"Yes, it's me," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
"What kind of soldiers are you leading?" The officer said coldly, "They can't even stand in line. Don't you guys train?"
"Who are you?" Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "Are you looking down on our Hero Battalion?"
The other party choked. The officer paused for a moment before saying, "I'm the commanding officer of Position 313, Ma Kai, senior colonel! I witnessed the construction of Position 313 with my own eyes. I know all the fortifications here like the back of my hand! "
Ren Xiaosu quickly held his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The consortium needs a down-to-earth person like you!"
Ma Kai: "???"
Ma Kai had said those words to make Ren Xiaosu understand that he was in charge of Position 313. Even if the bullsh * t Heroes Battalion came, they would have to listen to his commands.
But why did Ren Xiaosu even start expressing his condolences?!
Ma Kai said with a dark expression, "Don't play dumb here. I don't know how y 'all managed to wipe out the Kyung Clan's special forces, but in my eyes, y' all are just a pile of sh * t sent by the higher-ups to implicate us. I hope y 'all have some self-awareness and don't think you're really heroes. Deputy Adjutant Zhang, take them to where they belong. If there's nothing else, don't come out and cause trouble for us. "
The large group of soldiers from the private army did not dare say a word. They had been in the limelight all the way here, but they were immediately exposed here.
Ren Xiaosu did not say much. As he followed Deputy Adjutant Zhang north, he observed the surrounding terrain.
Position 313 was the collective name for the defensive positions. It was the defensive support point of the entire Mt. Shuanglong's front line and was located in the northernmost part of the battlefield. It was also the place closest to the Kyung Clan's troops.
The entire defensive position covered an area of more than a thousand acres and extended into the hinterland of Mt. Shuanglong. In today's war, it was not enough to just defend a piece of high ground. If anyone were to foolishly defend a piece of high ground, they would be flattened by the enemy's artillery fire at any moment.
But if anyone felt that defensive positions were useless in the face of modern artillery fire, they would be making a big mistake.
Sometimes, the people in the stronghold would talk about the "omnipotence of missiles" when chatting after drinking a little. But only those who had actually fought in a war would understand that for a missile to hit its target accurately, it would require a lot of human lives to find an opportunity for precise guidance.
Moreover, the important defensive positions were all equipped with medium-sized tactical trucks equipped with close-in air defense. These vehicles were extremely useful for intercepting non-supersonic missiles. For example, firearms like grenades, mortar shells, and rockets that did not require precise guidance would not be able to break through their interception.
Humans did not focus solely on studying offensive methods. In this day and age, with the same level of firepower, whoever had a more advanced defense system would have a greater advantage.
The Kyung Clan could just plough the ground with artillery fire. But the entire battlefield was so huge, so who could plough through it? That would be a waste of money!
The purpose of war was to reap benefits. If the benefits gained in the end were not as much as the costs incurred, then the war could not be considered a victory.
As Ren Xiaosu walked, he looked at the strange medium-sized ordnance trucks. They were parked behind the bunkers, but Ren Xiaosu did not know what they were used for.
After all, when he copied Yang Xiaojin's skills back then, he did not copy any knowledge in this area. He still had a Skill Duplication Scroll in his hand that he had yet to use. Ren Xiaosu was even considering whether he should use it on Colonel Ma Kai to learn some combat skills.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu said in his mind, "Use the Skill Duplication Scroll."
The voice from the palace sounded in his mind, "Target's skill will be randomly learned.
"Randomly extracted target's low-level rock-paper-scissors skill. Do you want to learn it?"
Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded. What the hell was a rock-paper-scissors skill?
One of the Five Chiefs, 666?!
Ren Xiaosu felt his heart ache a little. The Li Consortium was not serious about enforcing the alcohol ban at all. Their officers even knew how to play rock-paper-scissors? Was no one going to discipline them?
Moreover, not only did he get the rock-paper-scissors skill, it was also a low-level one. If he used this skill to compete with others in a drinking contest, wouldn't he end up getting drunk?!
However, Ren Xiaosu knew that the chances of getting a Skill Duplication Scroll were relatively low. He had probably used up all his luck in recent years when he got Luo Xinyu's skill. So Ren Xiaosu was not too upset that he did not learn a useful skill this time.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu asked the palace, "What's the level of this Ma Kai's command skill?"
"Target's skill has been learned. Can inform that the target's command skill is at the advanced level," the voice from the palace replied.
Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised. It turned out that the target's command skill was at the advanced level. It was no wonder he was sent to Position 313 to be the commanding officer.
In the end, Ren Xiaosu still learned the rock-paper-scissors skill.
After all, it would be a waste not to learn it. There was no harm in having more skills.
He had even learned how to jump rope, so why would he be lacking a low-level rock-paper-scissors skill? There was no shame in being passionate about learning!
