When Ren Xiaosu heard Zhang Xiaoman say that, his eyes lit up and he said, "Weren't you unhappy with their alternate nicknames? Then we can use alternate nicknames too."
"That's right." Zhang Xiaoman also got excited. "My codename will be Kill the Eagle!"
"Mine will be Kill the Soong Clan! Fu Rao, look at you lying on the stretcher like a vegetable, so you'll be called a vegetable! "
Fu Rao got angry as he lay on the stretcher. "Why should I be called a vegetable? I'm fine!"
"I'm fine, just walk a few steps!"
Fu Rao was speechless.
The group of Northwest men started laughing. Just half a day ago, they were still on the verge of giving up on him while insisting on saving him.
But half a day later, they started bickering with each other.
This was probably what comrades were like.
At this moment, everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Xiaosu, what's your codename?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "My codename will be 'Thank You.' Y 'all can just call me Thank You from now on …"
Fu Rao was speechless.
Zhang Xiaoman was speechless.
Everyone realized that Ren Xiaosu was willing to go to any lengths to get them to say thank you. Ren Xiaosu was the one who suggested using alternate nicknames, and it turned out that he had been waiting for them!
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu felt like he was going to wake up laughing even in his dreams. With so many people calling him that every day, wouldn't he be getting a bumper harvest of gratitude tokens?
Ren Xiaosu looked at the others. "I'm still a little unfamiliar with this codename I just came up with. Why don't y 'all call me a few more times so I can familiarize myself with it …"
However, he saw Zhang Xiaoman and the others turn around and walk away. They did not even bother with him.
"Hey, is this how you treat your comrades? What's wrong with calling me by my codename?!"
"Hey, hey, call me by my codename!"
The plan to give everyone in the Razor Sharp Company a substitute nickname was abandoned just like that.
But before the Razor Sharp Company could advance far north, they received another order from Zhou Yinglong. This time, Zhou Yinglong wanted them to infiltrate behind Mt. Qiangwan and destroy the harbor and ships there.
To the north of Mount Qiangwan was a tributary of the Beiwan River. Destroying the port was to prevent the defeated soldiers from leaving by boat after Mount Qiangwan was taken.
Since they wanted to win the war, they couldn't allow the enemy to preserve too much of their strength.
Upon hearing this order, Zhang Xiaoman and the rest could not be bothered to rest. They directly infiltrated from the east side of Mount Qiangwan and arrived at the target location more than ten kilometers east of the port in just a day and a half.
At this time, the cannons on Qiangwan Mountain were roaring. It was said that the Vanguard Battalion, together with their reinforcements, had been attacking for two days. But according to Zhou Yinglong's estimation, the other party would probably need to hold on for another week before they were defeated.
Therefore, the Razor Sharp Company was ordered to destroy their escape route in advance.
Zhang Xiaoman used a pair of binoculars to observe the garrison forces at the port from the top of a hill. "I reckon that they've all gone to war, so there's only one company stationed here. Also, it's a little strange. Look at them moving things onto the ships. I wonder what they're moving."
"It'll be easy to defeat them if it's only one company," Ren Xiaosu said.
At this moment, the Razor Sharp Company was no longer taking the enemy troops of the same rank seriously. Zhang Xiaoman said, "It's better to attack as soon as possible. Once we take the port, we'll immediately retreat and rendezvous with Battalion Commander Zhou."
They got to work right away. The garrison troops at the port seemed to be in a hurry. The soldiers carried their firearms on their backs and were moving things with all their might.
There were seven medium-sized ironclad ferries docked at the port. When Ren Xiaosu and the others appeared, the Soong Clan soldiers were shocked. Before they could organize an effective resistance, the entire company was blown up by Ren Xiaosu.
But at this moment, the radio operator at the rear suddenly shouted, "Captain, Battalion Commander Zhou wants you to answer the phone!"
Zhang Xiaoman instructed Ren Xiaosu and the others to blow up the ships before walking over with a suspicious look on his face. Weren't they in the middle of a war? Why would they still be in the mood to answer the phone?
But when he answered the call, he heard Zhou Yinglong yelling, "Where are y 'all? Have you arrived at the port yet?"
Zhang Xiaoman said smugly, "Fortunately, we didn't fail our mission. We've already taken the port. Aren't we making skewers right now?"
But Zhou Yinglong's voice changed. "Retreat, retreat! Hurry up and retreat!"
Zhang Xiaoman was taken aback. "What? You guys haven't fought them yet?"
"It's not that we haven't fought them yet. It's just that the position at Mt. Qiangwan is now empty. Those old bastards from the Soong Clan took advantage of the moment we retreated down the hill to escape in advance. They only left a few soldiers behind to provide cover for us. The rest of the main forces might be heading in your direction," Zhou Yinglong roared.
Zhang Xiaoman's scalp went numb. "Zhou Yinglong, fuck you! Why didn't you say something like this earlier?! "
With that, Zhang Xiaoman hung up and roared, "Pack up and retreat!"
But just as he said that, they heard chaotic shouts!
No one had expected something like this to happen. Didn't they say that Mt. Qiangwan would only be defeated a week later? Why did they run away in advance?
What they did not know was that the Kyung Clan's mechanized troops from the northeast had launched a lightning raid on Beiwan River and had already taken it down by force.
It was precisely because of this that the garrison troops at Mt. Qiangwan were panicking. They did not know if the Kyung Clan would turn around and attack them after taking over Beiwan River.
Meanwhile, the Soong Clan's base camp did not know what the Kyung Clan was up to. Were they going to join the war and launch an all-out war against the Soong Clan, or were they going to leave after just one raid?
They did not want to become the second Li Consortium. Didn't the Li Consortium fall just like that?!
Therefore, the Soong Clan decided to pull back their defensive line and see what the Kyung Clan was up to first!
However, this made things difficult for the Razor Sharp Company. It was probably too late for them to escape now. At this moment, there were a few explosions. Zhang Xiaoman immediately turned around and saw Ren Xiaosu and the other soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company throwing TNT into the cabins. Six of the ferries had already turned into huge fireballs and were burning fiercely. Even the surface of the river looked like it was on fire.
Zhang Xiaoman got anxious. "Don't blow them up, don't blow them up! Fucking leave one of them alive!"
At this moment, the garrison troops at Mt. Qiangwan were almost at the harbor. Seeing that there was at least a battalion of troops there, Ren Xiaosu asked, "What's the matter?"
"Get on the boats! We'll escape by boat! "Zhang Xiaoman roared.
At this moment, the Razor Sharp Company only had one escape route left. The other routes had all been blocked by the Soong Clan's retreating soldiers!
In the distance, the Soong Clan soldiers fell into despair when they saw that the ferries had been blown up. Someone raised his machine gun and fired at the ferry Ren Xiaosu and the others were on. Fortunately, the powerful recoil caused all the bullets to fly into the air. Only one person from the Razor Sharp Company was hit.
Zhang Xiaoman shouted from the ferry, "Which one of you knows how to drive a boat?"
"We don't have anything like that around Fortress 178. None of us know how to drive a boat," Jiao Xiaochen muttered.
Zhang Xiaoman ducked into the cabin. "We have to fucking know how to drive a boat even if we don't. If the boat doesn't move, we'll all die!"
