Position 313 was very big. If they were not familiar with this place, they would probably get lost.
Ren Xiaosu said to Adjutant Zhang, who was leading the way, "Um … can you show us the map so that we can choose our defensive positions?"
Adjutant Zhang turned around to look at him and said, "The commander has already chosen your battle positions. All you need to do is to defend your own positions. All soldiers on the battlefield have to listen to orders. Soldiers don't need the ability to think."
Ren Xiaosu pursed his lips and did not say anything. Actually, it did not matter to him. Tang Zhou had already told Qing Zhen that he would be coming to Position 313 anyway. The Kyung Clan would attack anyone but him.
The reason he mentioned it was just to ask if he could choose a position that would be convenient for him to get out of the camp and contact Tang Zhou.
It didn't matter if he couldn't as it was not a big problem.
All of a sudden, Ren Xiaosu realized Chen Wudi was a little quiet. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Wudi said, "Master, I heard a lot of people in this camp saying that they want us to die."
"Oh, about that." Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized, "Don't worry, we'll be fine even if they all die."
Chen Wudi had activated his clairaudience. Ren Xiaosu had tried it before. Even if he whispered to Chen Wudi from a kilometer away, Chen Wudi would still hear him.
But this power had a side effect on Chen Wudi because he could hear the "evil" in this world.
The ancients were particular about being cautious. As the saying went, one should also pay attention to one's self-restraint in private.
But most people couldn't do it. People were used to speaking ill of others in private and magnifying their dark side in private. Those things that couldn't be displayed in the open would be intensified in the dark.
But Chen Wudi could only hear these things now.
If Ren Xiaosu had this power, he would not feel burdened. After all, he was not clean himself.
But Chen Wudi was different.
Ren Xiaosu looked at him and asked, "Can I not listen to them?"
"No." Chen Wudi shook his head and said, "They said that the people here have already chosen the most dangerous position for us. As long as Qing Zhen's troops attack, we'll be the first to die."
"What else did they say?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"They even said that we deserve to die so that we don't implicate them." Chen Wudi said dejectedly, "But we didn't decide to come here, and we didn't offend them."
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu said, "They're wrong."
"Chen Wudi said," Master, "" Ren Xiaosu "Chen Wudi said.
Ren Xiaosu pondered it for a moment. "To lead a good life?"
Chen Wudi was taken aback. "Master, are you serious? Aren't you doing this for the sake of salvation?"
Ren Xiaosu patiently advised, "You have to measure yourself first before you can measure others. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'measure others by oneself'? As the saying goes, 'Get rich first and help others get rich later.'
Chen Wudi clutched his head and interrupted, "Master, stop for a moment. Let me sort through my thoughts …"
…
On the same night that Ren Xiaosu arrived at Position 313, Luo Lan had secretly arrived at the Yang Clan's Stronghold 88. Moreover, Luo Lan kept an unusually low profile this time and only brought two orderlies with him.
The Yang Clan's higher-ups held a secret meeting with Luo Lan. However, no one in the outside world knew that Luo Lan had gone to the Yang Clan, nor did they know what he had discussed with the Yang Clan.
But in the early hours of the same day, the Yang Clan's armored brigade and two infantry brigades suddenly advanced south. It was estimated that they would reach the Li Clan's front line at Mt. Qingsheng in two days. They had actually taken the initiative to start the war.
The Yang Clan mobilized from the front line at Mt. Ping with the armored brigade at the front and the infantry division at the back, approaching the north of Mt. Qingsheng in an attempt to pin them down with firepower. As long as this front line was penetrated, the Li Clan's western defensive line would no longer have a natural barrier.
Meanwhile, it was the same for the Kyung Clan. As though it had been discussed beforehand, mechanized troops suddenly approached the south that night.
The long line of mechanized troops meandered along the mountain roads. The headlights of the vehicles at night were like beams of torches. Several engineering battalions on the road were quickly repairing bridges and paving roads at an unbelievable speed.
Meanwhile, the special forces had already been deployed to the battlefield to scout out the enemy.
Some of the Li Clan's troops were still resting at the forward operating base for a short period of time. But tonight, all of them were heading to the front line.
The 13 defensive positions at Mt. Qingsheng were brightly lit, and huge searchlights illuminated the entire campsite. The barracks were filled with the roars of the officers.
Military trucks drove in one by one, and the soldiers jumped out of the back of the trucks. They did not even stop when they landed and rushed to their designated target locations.
Ren Xiaosu sat on top of a hill and looked back. The position they were at was located at the northernmost part of Position 313. Just as Chen Wudi had heard, Senior Colonel Ma Kai had arranged for them to be sent here to their deaths.
They only had four machine guns and did not even have a single rocket launcher, let alone a mortar. It would be a miracle if they could hold this position.
Therefore, when the soldiers at Position 313 saw Ren Xiaosu and the others on the road, they looked at them as though they were already dead. No one thought they could survive.
Chen Wudi was sitting next to Ren Xiaosu at this moment. Ren Xiaosu said, "Let me know if you hear anything unusual. We have to guard against Qing Zhen going back on his word."
"Mhm." Chen Wudi nodded vigorously.
Ren Xiaosu was sitting on a higher vantage point. When he turned around, he could vaguely see that the soldiers in the campsite were shuttling back and forth about a kilometer or two behind them. Some of them were holding a glowing red baton and directing the vehicles to stop. There were also people going in and out of the rear headquarters.
However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly noticed something strange. There were three huge tents standing quietly in the campsite. There were people going in and out of the other tents at all times, but these three tents were quiet. There weren't even any soldiers approaching them.
What was going on? Was this a confidential area of the Li Consortium?
At this moment, Li Qingzheng walked up with an automatic rifle on his shoulder. "Xiaosu, why do I feel a little panicked?"
"Don't panic. There's nothing to panic about." Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "At most, we'll just run away when the Kyung Clan troops attack."
"You make it sound so easy. How can we just run away like that?" Li Qingzheng shrugged. He sat next to Ren Xiaosu and whispered, "A group of scouts just left our position. I heard from them that the Kyung Clan troops seem to be heading our way to take revenge on us."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. Could there be a change in the plan?
He turned around and looked at the campsite behind him. Suddenly, he vaguely sensed that a lot of people in the campsite were also inadvertently looking in their direction.
With war on the verge of breaking out, everyone in the campsite held a grudge against the so-called Heroes Battalion. Even the rear troops who had just arrived at Position 313 turned pale when they heard that the Heroes Battalion was here. Everyone felt that the Kyung Clan would definitely attack this place.
It might not be certain who would win the war, but no one felt that the Heroes Battalion would survive it.
