When Fortress 178 decided to launch a war against the Soong Clan, the entire fortress suddenly got busy.
Most organizations would scatter most of their troops across the various strongholds so that they could gain complete control over each stronghold. Therefore, when the Kyung Clan was not at war, each stronghold would have a combat brigade stationed there, while the weaker strongholds would have an independent regiment stationed there.
Only Stronghold 111, where Qing Zhen and the others were stationed, would have more combat troops stationed there.
But Fortress 178 was different. They only had this one base of operations, and half of the fortress was occupied by the military. Meanwhile, the residents of the entire fortress, as well as the residents on the periphery, and some scattered settlements, were all working for the military.
But unlike the other strongholds, Fortress 178 did not have a distinction between refugees and residents. If they worked outside, they would even receive an additional garrison allowance.
During winter, all the residents outside could enter the fortress with a pass in hand to spend the winter.
Of course, the vetting of these passes was still relatively strict.
The entire Fortress 178 had as many as 80,000 troops, and it was a complete First Class Army. Meanwhile, the Soong Clan claimed to have as many as 200,000 troops.
There was a huge disparity in military strength. Perhaps it was precisely because of this disparity in military strength that the Soong Clan had been unscrupulously destroying the transportation routes connecting Fortress 178 to the outside world in recent years.
But Ren Xiaosu realized the burly men of Stronghold 178 did not seem to care about the disparity in military strength.
According to Xu Xianchu, in modern warfare, numbers were no longer the key to victory. Instead, it depended on brains, technology, courage, and experience.
Although the Soong Clan had a lot of soldiers, they were all new recruits who had just been conscripted into the army. Many of them were refugees as well. When they got on the battlefield, these new recruits would be at a loss.
The difference between veterans and new recruits was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that Zhang Jinglin was not a reckless person. Since Zhang Jinglin said he wanted to fight, he must be confident of winning.
At this moment, Zhou Yinglong had already led him to the Razor Sharp Company's camp. He saw the Razor Sharp Company's troops were already waiting at the entrance. They were all sizing up Ren Xiaosu with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Ren Xiaosu was also wearing the Razor Sharp Company's uniform that Xu Xianchu had given him. The emblem on his arm was also the Razor Sharp Company's bayonet emblem.
Zhou Yinglong whispered, "The Northwest is a little different from the south. If Commander Zhang had assigned you to the Razor Sharp Company in the south, the entire army would probably be very polite to you. But in the Northwest … everyone wants to see if you're qualified."
Ren Xiaosu was surprised. What did he mean by not qualified enough? He had only come to the most dangerous place to avenge himself. Was it that difficult to get into the Razor Sharp Company?
Zhou Yinglong did not continue speaking. He said to the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company who had surrounded them, "Why aren't you bunch of old bastards packing up your backpacks here? Tomorrow morning, you will be the first to set off and enter the battlefield. You have half a month to seize Mount Dingyuan for me. "
"Mount Dingyuan is just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. We took it down as soon as we arrived." Someone said carelessly, "Battalion Commander, is that Ren Xiaosu next to you?"
"Yes, that's him." Zhou Yinglong said, "Remember, don't go overboard."
When Ren Xiaosu heard Zhou Yinglong say "don't go overboard," he had a bad feeling about this. Was he trying to put him in his place or something?
And why did it seem like he had suddenly become a celebrity in Fortress 178?
However, Zhou Yinglong turned around and left after saying that. He did not give Ren Xiaosu any chance to ask any questions.
Seeing more than 180 members of the Razor Sharp Company surrounding Ren Xiaosu, and even the cooks were mixed in with them with kitchen knives, Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. How did this fucking look like a military camp? Why did it feel like a gang run by bandits?!
But Ren Xiaosu was here to take revenge on the Soong Clan. All he needed to do was fight the Soong Clan on the battlefield. There was no need for him to build a good relationship with the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company.
Ren Xiaosu lifted the hem of his shirt to reveal the wound on the right side of his abdomen. "Are y 'all going to attack a wounded soldier?"
However, to Ren Xiaosu's surprise, the group of hooligans opposite him laughed and said, "It's fine, we won't be too heavy-handed."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. They were even fucking attacking a wounded soldier!
As soon as the hooligans finished speaking, Ren Xiaosu turned around and ran away. A wise man knew when to avoid fighting when the odds were against him. In a situation where he could not kill them, it would be too strenuous for Ren Xiaosu to fight against more than 100 people. Furthermore, his internal injuries had not healed yet!
Suddenly, a group of hooligans from the Razor Sharp Company roared, "After him!"
Whenever a newcomer joined the company, they would have to put on a show of strength. If they did not make them obedient, what would they do if they refused to listen to orders in the future? Of course, this was just a grandiose statement. The real reason was that the veterans had nothing better to do.
As the saying went, "No discord, no concord." After joining the company for some time, no one would hold a grudge against them.
But something strange happened today. This recruit actually ran away! But where could he run off to? The Forward Strike Battalion's campsite was only so big, and didn't he come back to sleep at night?!
But more importantly, Ren Xiaosu ran extremely fast and shook them off in an instant!
A large group of people followed behind Ren Xiaosu. However, they saw Ren Xiaosu duck into another area of the barracks. The men from the Razor Sharp Company followed suit.
When Ren Xiaosu entered the barracks, he saw more than a dozen people drying their blankets. He rushed up to one of them and punched him to the ground. "The Razor Sharp Company is invincible!"
The burly men from the Northwest who were drying their blankets were stunned. They could not react to what was happening for a few seconds.
One of the men suddenly got angry. "We haven't even settled the score for being tricked by the Razor Sharp Company during the last military exercise. How dare they take the initiative to provoke us!"
Then he shouted into the barracks, "Brothers from Second Company, it's time for a fight!"
When the thugs from the Razor Sharp Company entered the campsite, they saw the men from Second Company running out of the barracks. The commander of the Razor Sharp Company shouted, "Old Li, get out of the way! This has nothing to do with you —"
But Second Company's Elder Li looked at his brother who had been punched to the ground. "Get out of the way! Brothers, beat them up! "
The commander of the Razor Sharp Company also got angry. "Heh heh, losers!"
When Old Li heard that, he got even angrier and threw a punch at him.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. There was no time for anyone to think. If they had any time to think, they would not have ended up like this.
Zhou Yinglong frowned as he watched from afar. What the fuck was going on? It was Ren Xiaosu's first day here, but the Razor Sharp Company and Second Company had already gotten into a fight. More than 300 people were mixed up in a group brawl, and some of them even had their collars torn!
It was common for people to get into fights in Fortress 178's barracks. Under normal circumstances, the commanding officer of the troops would let them fight to their heart's content. The men in the fortress all felt that if they did not have any guts, how could they be soldiers?
But how did they get into a fight?!
"That's fucking evil," Zhou Yinglong said.
Next to him, Ren Xiaosu also sighed. "That's right."
Zhou Yinglong turned around. "When did you get here?!"
Ren Xiaosu said reservedly, "I just got here not long ago."
