The Razor Sharp Company did not think they had done much. At most, they had only wiped out two companies, and then Ren Xiaosu sniped an officer. As for how he did it, the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company were already numb to it, so they were not particularly concerned.
In their opinion, this was not a big deal at all. It was nothing compared to what they had done previously.
However, this was not the case for the Soong Clan. At this moment, the Soong Clan had temporarily transferred an outstanding officer from the front line back to Stronghold 144 to become the new commander of the infantry regiment here.
This young officer had performed extremely well at the front line, and the Soong Clan's commander had even intended for him to take on the heavy responsibility of guarding Position 128 at Mt. Wuchuan.
But in order to resolve this matter, he was ordered to withdraw from the front line and take charge of the encirclement and annihilation mission at the rear.
Someone had suggested that they simply transfer a regiment of troops back to the rear to take charge of the encirclement and annihilation mission together.
However, a commander at the headquarters rejected this suggestion. "Fortress 178 doesn't have any ships. Although the defenses on the south bank of the Beiwan River have been defeated by the Kyung Clan, the Beiwan River is still under our control. There are no other ships on the river, and even if there were, we would've discovered them a long time ago. Therefore, the only troops of Fortress 178 behind us right now are definitely the troops on that ship at the harbor behind Mt. Qiangwan. As a matter of fact, that ship can only carry 300 people at most.
That's a given. "" Mhm, Stronghold 144's 1237th Regiment isn't weak either. If Zong Jing can't even handle this matter with his regiment, it seems he's not that capable after all, "a middle-aged commander said calmly.
At this moment, everyone fell silent. The moment this commander spoke, he brought up the factional struggles within the consortiums.
Like most consortiums, the Soong Clan was not a monolithic organization. Otherwise, no one would have secretly transferred their assets away.
Zong Cheng and Zong Xiang were the leaders of the Soong Clan's main branch, while this young officer, Zong Jing, was from the fourth branch, so they were in a competitive relationship.
In the end, one of the commanders from Zong Jing's branch said, "Since the enemy has snipers, we should also transfer our most elite snipers to Stronghold 144. The battle at Mt. Wuchuan hasn't reached its most intense stage yet."
This was considered an exchange, and the other generals also silently agreed.
Stronghold 144 was about 500 kilometers away from Mt. Wuchuan. The Soong Clan had also built simple concrete roads here, but due to tectonic movements and years of disrepair, the roads were already full of potholes.
Zong Jing was accompanied by the Soong Clan's most elite sniper.
The off-road vehicle could only go at most 50 kilometers per hour on the road.
However, Zong Jing headed to Stronghold 144 overnight. He set off at night and arrived at Stronghold 144's territory by noon the next day.
Zong Jing was also very anxious. He hoped to get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible so that he could return to the frontlines. That was where he could truly obtain the qualifications to advance.
Before he even arrived, he had already made arrangements with the deputy regiment commander of 1237th Regiment over the phone. The first thing he did was to instruct the deputy regiment commander to quickly search the nearby factories. When he was reading the report, he noticed that the previous regiment commander seemed to have missed out on the factories. Zong Jing had a feeling that the enemy might very well be hiding in the factories.
As such, the deputy regiment commander immediately sent out a company to search more than 20 factories in the vicinity.
As expected, while he was still on the road that night, the deputy regiment commander reported that a battle had broken out with Fortress 178's troops at the copper smelter.
Zong Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He had guessed right. Then he asked about the situation of the battle. However, the deputy regiment commander stammered and said that because there were too many factories, they had to split up their troops and that a company that had gone to the copper smelter had been defeated by the enemy.
Zong Jing was speechless. After a long time, he asked about the enemy's casualties, but the answer was no.
In fact, before that company could even get close to the copper smelter, they were brutally attacked by the shadow clone. The shadow clone rushed into the company and first killed the radio operator and radio set. After that, it cut up the entire company's formation. Only then did Ren Xiaosu inform the Razor Sharp Company to clean up the mess.
Not only that, but the shadow clone even chased after the fleeing Soong Clan soldiers in the wilderness. The company that had gone to the copper smelter was wiped out before they could even see the main entrance of the factory.
The deputy regiment commander only realized he could not get in touch with the company half an hour later. But by then, the Razor Sharp Company had already evacuated the refugees, blown up the copper smelter, and fled. No one knew where they had gone.
Of course, this was all thanks to the fact that there was a war going on at the front lines. Otherwise, the troops of Stronghold 144 would definitely not be a force that Ren Xiaosu and the others could contend against. However, Ren Xiaosu was aware of this, which was why he dared to open fire in the Soong Clan's territory.
Zong Jing was burning with anxiety. He could not scold his new deputy over the phone. After all, if he scolded him as soon as he arrived, it would be even more troublesome if he did not cooperate with him.
The deputy regiment commander asked over the phone, "Do you need us to send some troops over to escort you? That way, they can protect you if any danger arises."
Zong Jing was frustrated. Although he wanted to learn from the big shots and not show his emotions, he was still young and could not suppress his anger. In the end, he could not help but criticize, "There's no need for that. Continue tracking the enemy's tracks. You can't even do your job properly, but you sure are good at sucking up to others. If you can't find any traces of Fortress 178's troops within a day, you don't have to stay in the 1237th Regiment anymore. You can go mine in the mines in the north."
At this moment, the Razor Sharp Company was advancing westward in the wilderness. Thanks to Zong Jing, they could no longer hide comfortably in the factory. Zhang Xiaoman was scolding Zong Jing. "I wonder which bastard from the Soong Clan is so cunning as to actually guess where we're hiding."
"That's to be expected." Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "We can't treat them like fools. The Soong Clan will discover us sooner or later."
At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of vehicles driving in the wilderness. The group of people lay prone on the ground. Some of them hid in pits, while others hid behind trees.
They did not travel on the main road as that would be suicidal. However, they were traveling parallel to the main road. This way, they could avoid getting lost. If they encountered the Soong Clan's transport convoy, they might even be able to kill them again.
After all, they were running out of food again.
Suddenly, an off-road vehicle sped past. Jiao Xiaochen muttered, "But it's not the transport convoy …."
He sounded a little disappointed. Zhang Xiaoman jokingly scolded, "That's a vehicle coming from the direction of the battlefield. Even if it's the transport convoy, it's still empty. Eh? Where's Ren Xiaosu? "
They looked around and were surprised to see Ren Xiaosu lying prone on a mound with a large black sniper rifle in front of him.
With a loud bang, the huge exhaust from the gun kicked up a cloud of dust around Ren Xiaosu. Then they saw Ren Xiaosu hit the off-road vehicle's fuel tank with an incendiary bomb.
The off-road vehicle in the wilderness suddenly turned into a fireball, and some of its parts were blown into the air and scattered all over the place.
Zhang Xiaoman and the others watched dumbfounded as Ren Xiaosu put away the sniper rifle and came back. They knew Ren Xiaosu had sniping abilities, but this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. Including the sniper rifle, how many abilities did Ren Xiaosu have? Three?!
However, Zhang Xiaoman numbly thought that perhaps Ren Xiaosu had more than three abilities.
When Ren Xiaosu came back, Zhang Xiaoman asked, "Why did you hit it?"
"It'd be a waste." Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Someone who can ride in an off-road vehicle must be at least a second lieutenant, right? I'll just hit it and be done with it. "
"That's true … let's hurry up and move somewhere else." Zhang Xiaoman led the Razor Sharp Company deeper into the wilderness. The Soong Clan had been keeping a tight watch on them recently, so they had to lie low for a while.
But when news of Zong Jing's death reached the headquarters, the Soong Clan's headquarters was so quiet that one could almost hear their heartbeats.
