The soldiers of the 178 Fortress all had an unparalleled sense of belonging to the vicissitudes of the fortress, but Ren Xiaosu was very curious: "The inland consortium has never told the residents about your achievements. Those residents don't even know who is protecting the peace for them. Even so, are you willing to continue to guard?"

"It's their business whether they know it," Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's our business whether to guard it or not."

Because of the increase in ammunition and medicine, the things everyone carries are almost as heavy as half a soldier.

Everyone complained that they were too tired, but no one was willing to throw away those ammunition because they were the things that everyone relied on to survive on the battlefield.

In Zhang Xiaoman's words, when war comes, all you can believe is the gun in your hand, the bullets in your magazines, and the comrades in your trenches.

Therefore, the sharp knife company looks down on cowards, and cowards will kill their comrades in the company.

"I heard that when Commander Zhang came to Sharp Knife as a medical soldier, he didn't even want to fire the gun," Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile while struggling forward: "At that time, the soldiers of Sharp Knife looked down on him, but he did not refute. As a result, in a battle, he saved hundreds of wounded soldiers, not only the people in his own company, but also the people in other companies, which was only respected. Before this, everyone thought he was a coward."

This group of rough men from the 178 Fortress did not shy away from discussing Zhang Jinglin at all, and Zhang Jinglin seemed to care about these things.

Zhang Xiaoman said: "I thought you were thin and weak, but I thought you could not beat me, but I didn't expect you to be so fierce."

Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "Will you be there when Mr. Zhang went to the Sharp Knife Company?"

"That's a big deal. I was still playing with mud at that time," Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's all for the older generation."

"Older generation?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "Who is the older generation of the 178 Fortress?"

Zhang Xiaoman recalled and said, "It's better not to mention it, it's almost over."

"So tragic?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned: "What's going on."

"The battle sixteen years ago was fought too fiercely. The original army was not one in ten. Those who survived said it was a life-and-death battle, and the fortress was almost destroyed," Zhang Xiaoman said: "I know why the fortress accepted refugees before. On the one hand, it was because everyone was refugee, and some were still sinners exiled from the Central Plains, so everyone had no identity and no one despised. On the other hand,... except for refugees, no one was willing to come to this miserable place. Fortress 178 needs someone to guard it."

Ren Xiaosu was surprised: "There are still people from Central Plains who were exiled in the 178 Fortress?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's my neighbor, but I haven't seen people from Central Plains exiled here for more than ten years. I heard that the place has been changed and exiled to the north of 176 barriers. The north of 176 barriers is the grassland."

"Is the 176 barrier very far from us?"

“It’s very far.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Apart from waiting for the bell, do you have no other thoughts or wishes?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "I want to become a brigade commander, just like my father!"

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "Is your father a brigade commander?"

Zhang Xiaoman paused and said, "I mean, my father's dream is to become a brigade commander."

Ren Xiaosu: "..."

The journey from Guanshan to Dingyuan Mountain is not far. Before he walked, Jiao Xiaochen, who was in charge of taking the lead in front, suddenly raised his palm. For a moment, all the soldiers behind him were half kneeling on the ground and raised their guns to guard him.

Zhang Xiaoman bent down and ran to the front of the team, whispering: "What's wrong?"

"It seems that there is a hidden stake when it discovers the enemy situation," Jiao Xiaochen said.

Zhang Xiaoman picked up the telescope and looked forward. He suddenly saw white smoke coming out from the ditch about a few hundred meters ahead: "It should be the cigarette I vomited when I smoke. The white smoke I cooked was not like this. How could the bandits break the ground stand guard at the foot of the mountain. It's quite professional, but the executioner is too mentally retarded."

The bandits managed by the Zong family are indeed a bit different from other bandits, but bandits are bandits after all.

"What should I do?" Jiao Xiaochen asked, "Just knock down this hidden stake?"

"Well, continue along the gully, Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an, see if you can touch the road over there and kill it secretly, and don't have gunshots," said Zhang Xiaoman.

The two of them he ordered were the best training scores in the Sharp Knife Company, and were good at lurking and infiltration and dagger close attacks.

However, Fu Rao whispered: "Company Commander, Ren Xiaosu has gone..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the back of Zhang Xiaoman's head hurt. It would be a headache to have such a fierce player in the company. He said, "Wait silently!"

At this time, what Zhang Xiaoman was most worried about was that Ren Xiaosu made a lot of noise again, but there was no sound in front of him. After a few minutes, Ren Xiaosu came back with the two of them. Both of them were not even dead, but just in a coma.

Ren Xiaosu threw the two men on the ground: "You can ask about their deployment on the mountain. Maybe we can directly use mortars to knock out their machine gun positions. The bandits are not so cautious. They should know a lot."

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a while. Generally, it is difficult to keep a living when breaking through the defense line quietly, because it is necessary to avoid the enemy's struggle, shoot warnings, and shout, so once you take action, you cannot leave room for it.

But Ren Xiaosu's appearance made this impossible a possibility.

However, Zhang Xiaoman said seriously: "Xiao Su, you are very fierce, but you must obey the command of marching and fighting. Do you know that you must wait for my order? It's not that I deliberately act like a company commander, but that the army's combat must be prohibited."

Ren Xiaosu paused: "I understand, I'm sorry."

"No need to say sorry, you have worked as soldiers in our 178 Fortress and have not received training before going to the battlefield. So there are some things we teach you during the war that you just need to have a humble attitude."

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "Well, I won't act without permission in the future."

Zhang Xiaoman asked someone to wake up the two bandits on the ground. Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an put the dagger on their necks: "I let go of my hand. If you dare to shout randomly, you will kill you immediately."

The bandit nodded wildly, and Zhang Xiaoman took out the battle map and pencil: "Give you two a chance to draw the defense map of Dingyuan Mountain, and you will be spared."

Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an released the palms covering each other's mouth, and heard the bandits ask, "What is the defense map?"

"It is to draw the place where heavy machine guns and mortars are placed on your mountain, and then tell me where there are so many people guarding me," Zhang Xiaoman said coldly: "We are from Fortress 178, and if we cooperate honestly, we won't die, do you know?"

The two bandits were stunned: "You are from Fortress 178? Let's cooperate!"
