Ren Xiaosu limped up the hill. He hid behind the fortifications and panted as he said with a smile, "I've killed the sniper. I even killed two of them, as well as two guerrilla companies."
"You're bragging, aren't you?" Zhang Xiaoman chuckled. But when he saw the thousands of Soong Clan soldiers chasing after the hounds, he immediately stopped laughing. "Did you really kill two guerrilla companies and a sniper all by yourself?"
The Razor Sharp Company was used to bragging to each other. So when Ren Xiaosu revealed such a shocking piece of news, everyone subconsciously thought Ren Xiaosu was just bragging.
Ren Xiaosu said, "There's a lot of troops chasing after us. Let's retreat."
"That won't do." Zhang Xiaoman was amused. "You're so fierce, so our Razor Sharp Company can't be a burden to you, right? No matter how many soldiers come after us today, we'll wipe them all out!"
Ren Xiaosu realized Zhang Xiaoman and the others were very well prepared here. It was as though they had long since prepared for this ambush.
"Captain." Jiao Xiaochen looked into the distance and suddenly said, "Let's retreat …."
But Zhang Xiaoman was looking at the vast swarm of Soong Clan soldiers in the distance. Because they were still very far away, the Soong Clan soldiers looked like tiny black dots from afar.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly realized if Ren Xiaosu's words had been exaggerated in the slightest, the enemy would not have sent so many people to clear out the wilderness.
They were going to wipe out the advance guard of Fortress 178!
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Why did y 'all set up an ambush here?"
Zhang Xiaoman said casually, "We were just worried that you would be chased after if you went too far, so we set up an ambush here. We originally wanted to help you, but we didn't expect you to go so far."
"That's right." Jiao Xiaochen said, "We originally thought it would be pretty good if you could kill that sniper. After that, the guerrilla company would definitely pursue you. At that time, we would stop them at Crow's Mouth and take them out. But we didn't expect you to have already killed the guerrilla company and lured over a small detachment of the Soong Clan's main forces. Haha, how awesome!"
Zhang Xiaoman asked with concern, "Is your injury alright?"
"It's fine, I've already applied the black medicine." Ren Xiaosu said, "Let's run. There are quite a lot of enemies."
At this moment, Fu Rao and the others had already killed the hounds. The Razor Sharp Company would definitely not be able to hold off so many Soong Clan soldiers, so running away was the best option.
But on second thought, Zhang Xiaoman said, "Then what the fuck are we hesitating for? Let's just run …. But we can't just run away like this. We have to do something big before we leave. Jiao Xiaochen, set up your mortars. Everyone, get ready for battle!"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "There's a lot of enemies."
Zhang Xiaoman said in seriousness, "Do you think they've brought any heavy weapons with them? They're guerrillas, and mechanized troops can't enter the mountains. So if we take the high ground and attack them, we'll definitely be able to win. "
"They've already heard the sound of the machine guns, so I doubt they'll rush over to die," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Can't you see that the commanding officer of this unit is already in a daze? He's already panicking because of you." Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile, "Do you think everyone is a famous general? The Soong Clan has been holed up in the north all these years and hasn't even fought a decent battle. Their officers are really lacking in terms of improvisation. Don't think that anyone who can become an officer is a very calm and smart person. If that were really the case, there wouldn't have been so many muddled battles in history. "
Ren Xiaosu remained silent.
Zhang Xiaoman said in amusement, "Do you think I'm looking down on the heroes of the world? No, this is called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy. If the Soong Clan were replaced by the Kyung Clan, the commander might not even be willing to send troops to open up the trade routes. If this were the Kyung Clan's battle-hardened troops, I'd turn around and run away right now. But there are also strong and weak consortiums. It's not without reason that the Soong Clan is being pushed aside by the Kyung Clan and the Yang Clan. We're not looking down on them, but they're just not good enough. "
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized the gruff men of Fortress 178 actually felt that the Kyung Clan's troops were several levels higher than the Soong Clan's. In their eyes, only the Kyung Clan were truly difficult opponents to deal with.
As though to confirm Zhang Xiaoman's words, the Soong Clan's soldiers who rushed over still followed orders from their superiors to advance forward using the mountain cover even though they knew there were machine guns.
They were trying to forcefully wipe out the Razor Sharp Company!
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoman waited for the enemy to enter their firing range before he immediately ordered them to open fire. Together with the six mortars from Jiao Xiaochen's side, they bombarded the Soong Clan's troops in a frenzy.
With just a single round of attacks, they had almost wiped out a company of Soong Clan soldiers that had rushed up to them. It was only at this moment that the enemy finally realized what was going on.
The Soong Clan's troops retreated like a receding tide!
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman got up and packed his things. "Let's go, let's go. The Soong Clan's fucking mortars are about to hit us. They should've adjusted the angle of the mortars by now. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned to see this. Ever since Zhang Xiaoman decided to fight, he had not said a word. But now that Zhang Xiaoman had "done something big," he actually ran away faster than a rabbit. He no longer had the lofty sentiments he had earlier.
Just as they retreated down the hill, the Soong Clan's artillery bombarded the position they had just been at.
Zhang Xiaoman exclaimed, "Fortunately, we ran away quickly. Otherwise, we would have been left behind. We've done a great job this time. Including Ren Xiaosu's attacks, we've actually wiped out three companies of Soong Clan soldiers. Haha, we'll be awarded a third-class citation when we get back. Perhaps we might even get a second-class citation. "
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Captain, aren't you afraid that they'll fire their mortars at us first?"
"No, they couldn't pinpoint our exact location at the beginning. Besides, they didn't even have time to adjust the angle of the mortars, so they wouldn't be able to hit us accurately."
But Ren Xiaosu suddenly said in a serious tone, "Captain, although I don't know that you all know the Soong Clan's troops very well, it's best that we don't underestimate them in the future. What if we can't escape by the time they fire at us? I sincerely hope that we can all make it back alive. "
Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoman. The Razor Sharp Company had always been following Zhang Xiaoman's example. Even during their drills, they would deliberately choose the most dangerous situations to make everyone's hearts race.
It was because of this style that outsiders would refer to the people of Fortress 178 as "Bloody Dummies".
Ren Xiaosu continued, "I'm not questioning your combat style, Captain. I just hope that we can be more cautious. After all, if we encounter a particularly smart opponent, we might all die. Even if there's only a one-in-a-million chance of that happening, we can't afford to gamble on it."
Zhang Xiaoman was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
The surrounding Razor Sharp Company soldiers were stunned. Some people had tried to persuade Zhang Xiaoman in the past, but Zhang Xiaoman had never listened to them before.
"What are you all looking at?" Zhang Xiaoman said unhappily, "Why are you all looking at me? Is there something on my face? Hurry up and retreat! "
The Soong Clan's mechanized troops could not enter the mountains, so they were not afraid that the Soong Clan would continue pursuing them. The Razor Sharp Company was not any slower than the Soong Clan.
