Ren Xiaosu had sent Li Qingzheng and Chen Wudi to set up defenses. When the Kyung Clan troops arrived, they would definitely set up simple fortifications first and not attack immediately.
The attackers would also need to set up defensive positions. After all, their retreating soldiers would also need a place to treat their injuries and rest.
He kept observing the three suspicious tents and even got Li Qingzheng to bring him a pair of binoculars. The binoculars were given to him when the new equipment was distributed, and Ren Xiaosu felt they were very useful.
After all, the hearing and vision of supernatural beings did not change much. The improvement in their vision was mainly in their ability to capture motion, not how far they could see.
However, the general who insisted on conferring a title on Ren Xiaosu probably did not expect that Ren Xiaosu was not using the binoculars to observe the Kyung Clan, but the Li Consortium.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu saw a small group of people walk out of the tents. But they were very low-key and were dressed in the uniforms of ordinary soldiers. They did not interact with anyone.
But Ren Xiaosu was surprised to find that he actually knew the soldiers in this group.
Wasn't one of them the nanosoldier who had gone to their outpost to put on a show, Lin Qi?
Wait a minute, were all the Divine Arms nanosoldiers hiding in these three military tents?!
Ren Xiaosu had felt a little regretful that his armor was still missing a leg. But in the end, he had searched far and wide for it, only to find it by chance.
Ren Xiaosu took a look around. When he realized no one was paying attention to him, he walked into the mountains by himself. The soldiers at Position 313 were avoiding them like they were the plague. But this also made it more convenient for Ren Xiaosu to go out and take action. It was just nice.
He had just walked a kilometer to the west when someone suddenly whispered from behind a big tree in front of him, "A Lama has arrived from the north."
Ren Xiaosu said, "A mute has arrived from the south. Come on out."
After Ren Xiaosu said that, Tang Zhou came out from behind a tree.
Tang Zhou asked, "Have you guys already settled down at Position 313? I can only move around alone now. There are scouts patrolling the area, so we'll be discovered if we come with a large group."
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu said, "Are you guys planning to attack Position 313?"
Tang Zhou said frankly, "Actually, it looks like we're coming in aggressively. But right now, we only want to attract the Li Consortium's main forces from the front lines of Mount Shuanglong and Mount Fengyi. We don't plan on losing too many people here."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. It seemed that the Lee family and the Kyung Clan would be in a stalemate here for a while. Although they would fight, they would not get serious.
But what was the point of attracting the Li Consortium's main forces here? He couldn't understand it.
Qing Zhen must have other plans.
Tang Zhou continued, "But we'll be launching an attack on Position 313 and Position 319 at the same time in the early hours of the morning. The Li Consortium's main forces from the rear will only arrive if we fight fiercely. Of course, our attack on Position 313 will definitely be a feint. We'll also send some of Qing Yun's remaining subordinates to you. They're all unequipped soldiers, so they won't pose much of a threat to your position. "
Tang Zhou said this to dispel Ren Xiaosu's concerns. After all, they still had a chance to work together.
But at this moment, he saw Ren Xiaosu say in a serious tone, "Attack Position 313. Don't worry about me. Attack to your heart's content. I'll draw you a simple defense deployment map. Just go easy on our Heroes Battalion!"
A defense deployment map was very important. Without it, the Kyung Clan might have to pay the price of an infantry brigade if they wanted to figure out how the heavy firepower at Position 313 was distributed.
But Tang Zhou's mind was in a mess. What was Ren Xiaosu up to? Why was he taking the initiative to attack?
…
"Did it work?" Ma Kai asked while rubbing his eyebrows in the command center.
A staff officer said, "We tried to blow up the temporary bridge they built, but we were discovered before we could get close. The Kyung Clan has been very thorough in cleaning up their spies, so all we can do now is hold our ground. We don't have any better ideas. The scouts sent back news that the Kyung Clan has split their forces into two groups. "
"Split their forces into two groups?" Ma Kai asked, "Where did they go?"
"One group is heading for our Position 313, while the other group is heading for Position 319." The staff officer said, "But we can't be sure how their forces are distributed."
Position 313 and Position 319, where they were located, were the defensive pillars of the entire frontline. They had always been helping each other out. As long as these two defensive pillars were still around, the entire frontline would be stable.
Therefore, if the Kyung Clan wanted to break through the defensive line at Mt. Shuanglong, they would not be able to bypass these two positions.
The staff officer said, "Qing Zhen has one weakness, and that's that he holds grudges and places great importance on the morale of his troops. This is also the reason why the higher-ups sent that bullshit Heroes Battalion to Position 313. Therefore, I think his main forces will still come to our Position 313. "
"No." Senior Colonel Ma Kai shook his head and said, "You're wrong about that. I've studied Qing Zhen's previous combat reports. Although his tactics on the battlefield seem to vary a lot, making it hard for people to figure out what's real and what's fake, he's never taken any risks, nor is he greedy for achievements. A few years ago, when Qing Zhen was still a fledgling when he fought against the Pyro Company at Mt. Taifu, he clearly could have taken advantage of the situation to pursue them, but he suddenly retreated. For a young man in his early twenties to be able to do that, it requires a lot of courage and wisdom. It's also been proven that the Pyro Company did have a backup plan at that time, but they were helpless against the retreating Kyung Clan troops. "
Everyone felt that Qing Zhen was fickle, crafty, and liked to use unconventional tactics. However, Ma Kai felt that was just a facade that Qing Zhen put on.
The staff officer was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"I think it's very likely that they'll make a feint at our Position 313 before focusing their attacks on Position 319." Ma Kai analyzed, "Qing Zhen isn't someone who'll be blinded by hatred. Besides, it's only the loss of a Special Forces battalion, so there's no need to talk about hatred."
The staff officer echoed, "Senior Colonel Ma Kai, you're really good at discerning the situation on the battlefield. I also agree with your point of view."
Ma Kai said, "Inform the fighting forces below to get ready. Once we discover that the Kyung Clan's attack on Position 313 is just a feint, we'll have to be ready to reinforce Position 319 at any time."
The staff officer nodded. "Do you have any other instructions?"
Ma Kai suddenly said, "The fucking position that the Heroes Battalion is defending has no bearing on the overall situation. If the Kyung Clan launch a feint attack, the other fighting forces are not to reinforce them."
The staff officer was stunned. Was he trying to sell out the Heroes Battalion?!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A few consecutive booms rang out, and the entire ground seemed to tremble. Everyone in the command center was stunned. This was the sound of artillery fire!
Immediately after, intense gunshots rang out in the night sky. The battle had broken out in an instant!
What was going on? Why did the Kyung Clan suddenly launch an attack?! Had they gone crazy?
Suddenly, a soldier ran in from outside and shouted, "The Kyung Clan's main forces are approaching our Position 313. The close-in anti-aircraft missile vehicles have intercepted their mortar shells, but it seems like they've obtained our defensive deployment map. They're concentrating their firepower on our heavy firepower deployment points!"
Ma Kai's expression darkened. This slap to the face had come too quickly!
