Initially, Zhang Xiaoman had rejected the idea of Ren Xiaosu joining the company. He even wanted to discuss it with Zhou Yinglong to see if he could get rid of Ren Xiaosu.
But now, Zhang Xiaoman wanted to go back and give Zhou Yinglong a kiss. This was even more useful than equipping him with 10 heavy machine guns!
Any army soldier who had fought in a war before knew how difficult it was to take down a heavy machine gun position. It was a real meat grinder and a weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield.
But with Ren Xiaosu around, these heavy machine guns could be easily taken out by TNT. No one knew how Ren Xiaosu managed to do it.
Until now, Zhang Xiaoman and the others still did not know what Ren Xiaosu's superpower was. It was way too mysterious.
But everyone had their own secrets, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
When Zhang Xiaoman led his men up the mountain, they did not see Ren Xiaosu nearby. Furthermore, the entire bandit lair's firepower was not aimed in their direction but had their backs to them.
"That's strange." Zhang Xiaoman wondered, "Why does it feel like Ren Xiaosu wasn't the only one who came up here? It's more like another company has climbed up from the back of the mountain and ambushed them."
The barracks in the bandit lair were collapsing one after another. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, but they were not from gunshot wounds. They were from saber wounds!
A soldier was also shocked when he passed by the corpses. "Don't tell me Ren Xiaosu was fighting them in close combat?"
At this moment, the bandits on Mt. Dingyuan were fighting a mysterious shadow. But as they fought, the shadow suddenly disappeared behind a barracks.
At first, the shadow was extremely fierce and killed many of them. But for some reason, it started to lose its ferocity. Instead, it used its ability to move at high speed to restrain the bandits and never stayed in the same place.
But just as they were searching for the shadow, gunshots rang out from behind them. Some of the bandits turned around in shock and saw the Razor Sharp Company several hundred meters behind them had already set up three heavy machine guns and were firing wildly at them!
At the same time, Zhang Xiaoman also led Platoon 2 to flank the bandits, attempting to intercept all the bandits in an open area so that they would all become targets for the heavy machine guns.
Some of the bandits reacted quickly and immediately hid behind the ruins of the barracks to launch a counterattack. But just as they were about to open fire, they suddenly saw a hand reach out from the shadows beside them and throw a grenade beside them.
With a loud bang, the group of bandits who had just hidden behind the ruins were blown into the sky. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoman had completed a simple blocking formation on the flank.
Zhang Xiaoman had never experienced such a carefree battle. It was as if all the hidden dangers had been nipped in the bud. It was as if there was a hand of God helping them on the battlefield, giving them the green light for their surprise attack.
However, more than a hundred of these bandits had obviously received formal military training. They calmly retreated all the way, and even their retreat formation was not messed up.
Ren Xiaosu hid in the shadows and watched this group of people. These 100-odd people were probably the Soong Clan's regular troops hidden among the bandits.
Moreover, the 20-odd soldiers at the last heavy machine gun position were even more cautious than the bandits. It looked like they were also from the Soong Clan.
The Soong Clan had placed more than a hundred of their men at Mt. Dingyuan, and they were even guarding the last checkpoint. If their roles were reversed and there were no supernatural beings participating in this battle, the Razor Sharp Company might not have been able to break through that heavy machine gun position even if they fought to the end.
When Ren Xiaosu saw the Soong Clan's regular troops, he did not hold back anymore. He took aim with his automatic rifle from the shadows 200 meters away and suddenly opened fire!
The Soong Clan's regular troops did not expect there to be enemies here as well. With just a burst of bullets, their orderly retreat formation was disrupted.
Zhang Xiaoman roared, "Move your firepower forward and suppress them! Ren Xiaosu is awesome! "
…
In the north, Zhou Yinglong was leading the entire Forward Strike Battalion to set up a defensive line to ensure the FOB at the rear could be built smoothly.
The Soong Clan did not make any moves. But ever since the bandit lair at Mt. Guan was destroyed, both sides knew the war had begun.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran up to Zhou Yinglong and whispered, "Battalion Commander, Zhang Xiaoman of the Razor Sharp Company is requesting a communication."
"Bring the radio over," Zhou Yinglong said as he lay prone on a small hill.
When the radio operator approached with the radio on his back, Zhou Yinglong took the phone from him and said into it, "I told you to stop the bandit lair at Mt. Dingyuan, so what are you doing? Are y 'all trapped on the mountainside? Stay there and don't move. I'll send Second Company to support y' all! "
A radio operator from the Razor Sharp Company had just reported the situation at Mt. Dingyuan, and Zhou Yinglong flew into a rage. They had already sealed off Mt. Dingyuan, and it was obvious they were going to fight to the death. In the past, they could still launch a sneak attack. But now, it was impossible for a single company to take down a mountain like this.
Zhou Yinglong was really worried that Zhang Xiaoman would impulsively destroy the Razor Sharp Company at Mt. Dingyuan.
But Zhang Xiaoman suddenly interrupted Zhou Yinglong, "Battalion Commander, we've taken down Mt. Dingyuan!"
Zhou Yinglong was speechless.
The night had not even passed yet, but they had already taken it down? Which mountain would not be besieged for several days or even months?!
Zhou Yinglong said with a dark expression, "Did you fucking drink some fake alcohol last night?"
"Battalion Commander, we've really taken down Mt. Dingyuan." Zhang Xiaoman said anxiously, "And it's a good thing we've taken it down. You might not know this, but the Soong Clan actually hid two artillery cannons on Mt. Dingyuan, and they're facing the forward operating base. If we didn't take down Mt. Dingyuan, y 'all would have been in trouble! "
Zhou Yinglong cursed, "What do you mean by 'in trouble'? As soon as I heard that Mt. Dingyuan had sealed off, I knew the Soong Clan had such a trick up their sleeves. Their artillery cannons won't be able to hit our forward operating base at all. Our forward operating base is still more than 80 kilometers away from Mt. Dingyuan. How are they going to hit us with their artillery?"
When Ren Xiaosu heard Zhou Yinglong's loud voice next to the radio station, he felt relieved. He was still thinking that if Fortress 178 could not even guard against such a small move, it would really be unbefitting of Fortress 178's reputation. They would not be that good at fighting either.
But from the looks of it, even a battalion commander like Zhou Yinglong had such a keen sense of danger. Fortress 178 really lived up to its reputation.
Ren Xiaosu knew he was far inferior to the enemy when it came to marching and fighting.
At the very least, he only realized there were long-range artillery cannons on Mt. Dingyuan when he heard the spy contacting the Kyung Clan.
At this moment, Zhou Yinglong's voice softened a little. "How many casualties were there?"
Zhang Xiaoman answered, "Reporting, Battalion Commander. Only seven of us were injured, but no one died."
The other end of the radio fell silent. Zhou Yinglong asked, "How many thugs did y 'all wipe out?"
"We killed 927 enemies, of which 131 are suspected to be Soong Clan regulars!" Zhang Xiaoman said calmly. But behind his calmness, there was a hint of smugness hidden within.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yinglong knew all too well what the Razor Sharp Company was capable of. Under normal circumstances, he would not be surprised if the entire Razor Sharp Company was wiped out after taking down Mt. Dingyuan.
Zhou Yinglong reacted very quickly. He reflexively asked, "Is that Ren Xiaosu that the commander gave y 'all that powerful?!"
Ren Xiaosu had already walked away. Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu, who was sitting alone in the ruins in the distance, resting. After hanging up, he walked over to the ruins and sat down next to Ren Xiaosu. "Why did you fight so hard?"
The young man could have attacked Mt. Dingyuan with them and waited for the mortars to take down the heavy machine guns first. However, this young man chose to take the risk of climbing the mountain barehanded and launching a surprise attack on the entire bandit camp by himself.
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "That way, you can reduce your casualties."
Zhang Xiaoman said, "But people will always die in war. Sometimes, when you're walking on the road, the enemy hiding in the bushes across from you will suddenly pull the trigger of a machine gun and turn the comrades beside you into sieves or bloody people. There's also the possibility that an artillery shell will suddenly land at your feet and blow up your legs and shatter your internal organs. The battlefield is a place where you have to believe in fate. Everything depends on fate, and it's not up to you at all. "
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "How would you know if you don't try?"
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was fighting so hard because he really wanted them to survive.
But this was war! How could a company that had to overcome a difficult situation not die? Unless a miracle happened!
