The sniper rifle was a very novel item for Ren Xiaosu. He really liked sniper rifles. Otherwise, he would not have sought out Yang Xiaojin to learn from him.
Although there were supernatural beings around these days, the power of a sniper rifle was still something that most supernatural beings could not ignore.
Ren Xiaosu still did not know what the black sniper rifle bullet was used for. After all, he did not have a chance to test it out yet. He could only wait until he reached the wilderness to find out.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman and the others were still drunk and staggering around in the chow hall. Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry as he carried this group of people back to the barracks. Meanwhile, the soldiers at the FOB watched as Ren Xiaosu carried them back. He carried two people at a time and made more than 60 trips back and forth.
On the same day, even the incident of Ren Xiaosu carrying his comrades back to the barracks became an interesting topic in the FOB.
When Zhang Xiaoman and the others woke up that night, they were still dizzy. But when they heard that it was Ren Xiaosu who had carried them back one by one, they repeatedly thanked Ren Xiaosu. "Xiaosu, thank you for carrying us back. We definitely won't drink like this again in the future. It's too embarrassing."
However, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was unhappy. He heard Ren Xiaosu say, "Drink! How can a man not drink! "
If he did not drink, where would he get so many gratitude tokens from?!
Before drinking, he only had around 800 gratitude tokens. But after drinking, he still had more than 500 gratitude tokens left after unlocking a weapon!
Ren Xiaosu wanted to tell Zhang Xiaoman that they should stop going to the battlefield and just drink every day.
After unlocking the sniper rifle, the palace issued another side quest for the third weapon. This time, it required 10,000 gratitude tokens to unlock.
Ren Xiaosu did not know where he could get so many gratitude tokens.
Suddenly, Zhou Yinglong walked into the Razor Sharp Company's barracks. When he smelled alcohol in the room, he frowned. "Zhang Xiaoman, get up."
Everyone in the Razor Sharp Company got out of bed and stood in two rows in the hallway. Zhou Yinglong paced around the soldiers and said, "Look at how drunk you all are! Do you still look like soldiers? "
Zhang Xiaoman mumbled in a daze, "We're heroes. Didn't they say there's a new mission the day after tomorrow?"
Zhou Yinglong was so angry that he laughed. "Don't you have to shout 'report' after drinking? You have to use the word 'officer' when you're talking to me! "
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment before he said, "Sir!"
With a bang, Zhou Yinglong sent Zhang Xiaoman flying with a kick. "Sober up! Your Razor Sharp Company will have a new mission tomorrow. Report to me when you're sober up!"
Upon hearing that there was a new mission, Zhang Xiaoman immediately perked up from the ground. "Battalion Commander, what mission? Is it urgent? "
"It's a secret mission. Talk to me when you're sober," Zhou Yinglong said and walked out with his hands behind his back.
The soldiers in the Razor Sharp Company's barracks looked at one another. What kind of secret mission was this?
In the past, the Razor Sharp Company would usually not get a chance to participate in such secret missions. Although they could fight tough battles and overcome difficulties, infiltration and ambushes were not their forte.
Therefore, secret missions had always been carried out by the Reconnaissance Battalion. The soldiers in the Reconnaissance Battalion were like animals. Usually, the top ten of the military competitions were basically all in the Reconnaissance Battalion.
But why was the Razor Sharp Company suddenly sent on a secret mission?
The next day, Zhang Xiaoman came back from Zhou Yinglong's place with a frown on his face. He said to the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company, "The main forces will be advancing north towards the Blackstone River. After crossing the river, we'll reach the Soong Clan's defensive line at Mt. Wuchuan."
"What about us?" Jiao Xiaochen asked.
"We'll set off this afternoon and head to the front line at Mt. Qiangwan and the Beiwan River. We'll circle around to the flank of the battlefield, blow up the bridge, and cut off the Soong Clan's eastern supply line. Finally, we'll rendezvous with the main forces at Mt. Wuchuan."
"We're going to infiltrate the rear and cut off the supply line with just our company? And blow up the bridge? The bridge over the Beiwan River is heavily guarded by the Soong Clan. "Jiao Xiaochen was shocked." Isn't Battalion Commander Zhou thinking too highly of us? "
"This is an order." Zhang Xiaoman said sternly, "Pack your things and set off at 4 p.m. sharp. We must arrive at the Beiwan River in seven days and blow up the Soong Clan's bridge over the Beiwan River to ensure that the main forces at the Blackstone River do not have to worry about the rear."
The Blackstone River and the Beiwan River were two completely different routes. HQ felt that the cost of breaking through the Beiwan River would be too high, so they would rather build a pontoon bridge over the Blackstone River and launch a surprise attack on the defensive line at Mt. Wuchuan in the north. It would be safer than crossing the Beiwan River.
The only worry was that the enemy on the other side of the Beiwan River might take advantage of the battle at the front line at Mt. Wuchuan to launch a sneak attack on the flank of Fortress 178's main forces. Therefore, they sent the Razor Sharp Company to cut off this route so that the Soong Clan would not be able to cross the Beiwan River for the time being.
However, this mission was very difficult. It was equivalent to sending the Razor Sharp Company deep into enemy territory alone.
However, Zhou Yinglong said that blowing up the Beiwan Bridge had to be carried out in secret and would be done at a designated time. Therefore, the fewer people carrying out this mission, the better.
At this moment, most of the people at the forward operating base still did not know what strategy HQ had come up with. However, the Razor Sharp Company suddenly announced that they would be conducting cross-country training. A group of people carried out their backpacks and guns as they ran out of the forward operating base. Everyone thought the Razor Sharp Company would only last two or three days at most for this training. But two or three days later, they realized the Razor Sharp Company would never return.
…
As the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company trudged through the wilderness, each of them wore a new medal on their chests. The word "Shichuan" was engraved on the medal. This was something all the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Shichuan Village received.
Fu Rao muttered as he walked, "Hey, Captain, how much do you think this medal can be sold for?"
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "This is the first real victory of our army since we set out on this expedition. Putting aside the fact that Mt. Dingyuan was a bandit's lair, I suppose it's still quite a memorable one. Furthermore, only a few hundred of them were issued, so I reckon we can sell it for 10,000 yuan."
"That's not bad." Fu Rao chuckled. "We'll sell it when we get back."
Off to the side, Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "Doesn't this medal represent honor? Why are y 'all selling it just like that?"
He thought about how he thought the Razor Sharp Company had a strong sense of honor.
"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Xiaoman chuckled and said, "Do we lose our honor if we sell the medal to others? We still have the third-class citation. Wouldn't it be better to exchange the medal for something more practical? Wouldn't it be better to buy some lamb chops for 10,000 yuan? "
At the same time the medals were issued, the third-class citation that had been withdrawn was also reissued. However, all of this was being carried out in secret. They would probably have to wait until they completed this mission before they would be awarded the medal again.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that the hooligans of the Razor Sharp Company were really shameless. They were even willing to exchange their medals for money. Furthermore, a company like this fought fiercely as though they did not care about their lives.
