After Ren Xiaosu left with the motorcycle, Zhang Xiaoman led the entire Razor Sharp Company and started digging trenches.
After all, Ren Xiaosu did not have any solid military knowledge. The ravines in the ground did save him a lot of the steps of digging trenches. But if he wanted the trenches to be put to good use, he would have to work on them again.
On one hand, he had to choose the most suitable location. On the other hand, he had to set up firepower points.
It would take Ren Xiaosu an hour to get up the mountain, and it would also take about an hour for reinforcements to arrive from Mt. Dingyuan. Therefore, there was not much time left for Zhang Xiaoman and the others.
Jiao Xiaochen took the lead and muttered as he set up the trenches, "I thought the commander had sent us a weak kid, but it turns out he's a peerlessly fierce person."
"Don't you guys feel like he has a grudge against these bandits?" Someone wondered, "I keep getting the feeling that he wants to fight the bandits and the Soong Clan and kill them all."
"I feel it." Zhang Xiaoman sighed. "That kid has a ruthless streak in his bones. He doesn't even bat an eyelid when he kills people. Before we could even react, he had already killed that bandit."
"When he was pushing the motorcycle up the mountain just now, I felt a murderous aura coming from behind him …."
"You've fucking listened to too many storytellers. How can you even feel a murderous aura? Get lost!"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman was sitting in the trench. He calculated the time and asked, "Are the mortars ready?"
"Captain, our mortars only have a range of three kilometers. We definitely can't hit them." Jiao Xiaochen wiped his sweat and said, "Why don't we get closer? We can still cover him this way. The shells are probably still some distance away from the bandit lair at Mt. Guan. "
"No." Zhang Xiaoman shook his head. "Our top priority right now is to wipe out the bandits from Mt. Dingyuan. It's not that I don't want to cover him, but the mission has to be completed. We can only talk about other things after that."
"What if he …"
"There's no 'what if'." Zhang Xiaoman denied, "It's an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield. Since he's decided to go, he must have the ability to survive. Don't underestimate a supernatural being. Have you forgotten how powerful Old Xu is? Maybe he's even more powerful than Old Xu?"
Supernatural beings were a variable on the battlefield. They were like a sharp knife that could kill an enemy as long as they were stabbed in the right spot.
When the time was up, Zhang Xiaoman ordered Jiao Xiaochen to immediately fire the mortars to create a commotion. After the cannons sounded, intense gunshots came from the mountainside.
Someone said, "It looks like the bandit lair on Guan has a fight. Of the Mountain Bandits have Mt.
"Why do I seem to hear the roar of a train? Am I hallucinating?"
"Zhang Zhang" Zhang said, "Xiaoman of Zhang. Zhang" I "s Zhang Xiaoman's Tang" I "s.
Zhang Xiaoman said coldly, "Everyone, be on your guard. Your current enemy is the bandits at Mt. Dingyuan, not Mt. Guan!"
But at this moment, the gunfire on the mountainside gradually stopped. Zhang Xiaoman frowned. "Why did the gunfire stop so quickly? Did he retreat, or did he die?"
"I think he probably died."
Based on last year's intelligence, there were at least 700 bandits gathered on Mt. Guan. No matter how powerful Ren Xiaosu was, he could not possibly wipe out all the bandits by himself, right?
Moreover, if Ren Xiaosu had escaped down the mountain, there should have been gunfire in pursuit. But now that there were no gunshots, it meant the battle on the mountain was over.
Therefore, the most reasonable explanation was that Ren Xiaosu had overestimated his own strength. Although he said he wanted to restrain the bandits on Mt. Guan, he ended up getting defeated by the bandits on the mountain.
"But if the battle ends so quickly, Mt. Dingyuan won't send reinforcements here, and our plan will be for naught." Jiao Xiaochen sighed and said, "What should we do now? Should we retreat for now?"
"Let's wait a little longer." Zhang Xiaoman said, "What if the bandits from Mt. Dingyuan get here? We'll kill as many as we can. If we retreat now, the enemy has motorcycles that can travel freely through the valley. If we retreat on foot, the enemy will catch up to us very quickly. Instead of that, we might as well defend this position and fight back. "
The soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company leaned against the edge of the trenches and hugged their guns. "The commander was really unlucky. He chose two candidates, but both of them ended up dead."
"There's nothing to feel sorry about." Zhang Xiaoman said calmly, "On the battlefield, you never know when someone will die."
However, the Razor Sharp Company waited in the trenches at the foot of the mountain for nearly an hour. They did not see any reinforcements from Mt. Dingyuan, nor did they see any bandits rushing down from Mt. Guan to chase after them.
"That's a little strange." Zhang Xiaoman wondered, "We exposed our position when we fired the mortars just now. How could the bandits on Mt. Guan not come down to attack us? It's fine if the bandits from Mt. Dingyuan don't come down, but why aren't the bandits on Mt. Guan coming down to attack us either? "
But at this moment, someone poked his head out and saw someone slowly walking towards them from the mountain path. In this world of yellow soil, that figure was covered in blood and looked particularly eye-catching.
"Isn't that Ren Xiaosu? He's still alive?! "Jiao Xiaochen exclaimed.
They had guessed many possibilities, but they did not think that Ren Xiaosu could walk down the mountain alive!
When the calm Zhang Xiaoman heard Ren Xiaosu's name, he immediately jumped out of the trench and rushed towards Ren Xiaosu. He circled around Ren Xiaosu for a while and said, "Where are you hurt? How did you escape? Medic! Medic, hurry over! "
Ren Xiaosu suddenly said after a moment of silence, "Sorry, I didn't complete the mission."
When Zhang Xiaoman saw that Ren Xiaosu was fine, he chuckled and said, "It's good enough that you're still alive. I told you that you were too careless. How could you possibly hold off the bandits on Mt. Guan by yourself? Hurry up and follow me into the trenches. When the bandits on Mt. Guan catch up, we'll have to fight a tough battle! "
Ren Xiaosu said, "No, what I mean is that we killed them too quickly. They didn't even have time to ask for help from Mt. Dingyuan before they died."
Everyone in the Razor Sharp Company was fucking stunned. Was it appropriate for you to say such harsh words with such a sorrowful expression on your face?!
Zhang Xiaoman said in surprise, "You're not joking, right?"
Ren Xiaosu said, "Last month, almost all the bandits on Mt. Guan were mobilized, but they were all killed. There are only about a hundred bandits left on Mt. Guan now. They're not as strong as you think they are."
"I see!" Zhang Xiaoman was stunned. "But how did you know about this?"
Ren Xiaosu did not say anything. He suddenly missed Liuyuan a little.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman and the others still felt that something was not quite right. Even if there were only about a hundred people on Mt. Guan, didn't the battle end way too quickly? In other words, Ren Xiaosu single-handedly wiped out more than a hundred bandits on Mt. Guan?!
"Are you sure that all the bandits on Mt. Guan are dead?" Zhang Xiaoman confirmed, "There's no lying in the army!"
Ren Xiaosu said, "There are still several heavy machine guns and a lot of ammunition on the mountain. I think we should go up and take them down. After all, we don't have enough ammunition."
"That's not what I'm asking …." Zhang Xiaoman was a little speechless.
An hour later, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the corpses strewn all over the bandit lair on Mt. Guan. He suddenly said to the radio operator, "Hurry up and contact Battalion Commander Zhou. I want to report this situation."
The radio operator came over with a portable radio on his back. Zhang Xiaoman took the microphone and heard Zhou Yinglong shouting from the other end, "Why are you calling me at a time like this, kid? Don't tell me you're thinking of giving up because you can't take Mt. Dingyuan? Let me tell you, you've made a military pledge. Even if you can't take it, you still have to take it! "
Zhang Xiaoman said in a speechless manner, "Battalion Commander, we've taken Mt. Guan, so we'll head over to Mt. Dingyuan tomorrow …."
