406 , Destroy the Zong Clan
Ren Xiaosu stared at hundreds of grenades in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Second company commander Xu Haichen looked at Zhang Xiaoman and said, "Remember for me, give all grenades to you. This is to reduce the casualties of our second and third companies. Don't take grenades and go deeper alone, otherwise no matter how great your sharp knife company is, I will go to the commander to sue you."
In the end, Zhang Xiaoman impressed the second company commander Xu Haichen with the reason of reducing casualties. When he raided Shichuan Town last night, more than ten people were reduced from the second company. They were all good brothers who trained together day and night. The military achievements were far less important than those of human lives. This was the consensus of the officers of the 178 Fortress.
When it is time to fight a tough battle, they will definitely give priority to preserving the vitality of their troops.
"Don't worry," Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "We are all brothers, how could we do that kind of thing? Come on, Ren Xiaosu quickly put away these grenades, and we will continue to move forward as soon as it gets dark."
Ren Xiaosu silently watched Zhang Xiaoman negotiate with the Second Company and the Third Company. A group of soldiers were smoking and chatting next to him. Someone took off his shoes. The whole building had a strange smell of odor of feet and the smell of smoke. However, this cigarette was different from the tobacco smoked by the private army. Even when chatting, the soldiers put their guns in their arms.
Lao Xu told him before that the 178 Fortress was different. At that time, Ren Xiaosuxin thought it was all barriers. How big is the difference between barriers?
But now he realized that it was really different.
Ren Xiaosu asked Zhang Xiaoman while holding the grenades: "I think you should be careful about the next step. The terrain of Shichuan Town is complicated, and Zong has built some new buildings. I can't guarantee that there will be any backup plan. I always think that fighting Shichuan Town is too simple this time."
For Ren Xiaosu, things that can be done by being too simple will always make him feel a little uneasy.
Zhang Xiaoman was a little amused at this time: "This is simple? If you hadn't had the ability to accurately drop bombs with your skills, would we have to die in Shichuan Town? You don't know that Battalion Commander Zhou originally planned to spend the entire forward battalion on this."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "So serious? Do you need to consume the entire forward battalion when fighting such a street battle?"
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoman sighed: "Only by destroying this Shichuan Town and cleaning up the long-distance artillery that may be hidden here, the rear troops can enter the forward base to repair it and carry out the next combat plan."
Jiao Xiaochen added next to him: "Now is a modern war of thermal weapons. The role of our vanguard battalion is to clear obstacles in the early stage, and later, he can only be regarded as a scout, infiltration and reconnaissance, and make up for some loopholes in map surveying and mapping. There is basically no stage on the front battlefield."
"Then are we sent to be cannon fodder now?" Ren Xiaosu frowned. Why does it sound like it is no different from cannon fodder.
As a result, Zhang Xiaoman immediately denied it after hearing this. He said seriously: "We are not cannon fodder, and Fortress 178 never needs a cannon fodder role to win the war. It's just that the division of labor in the combat sequence is different. Our sacrifice today is to enable the rear troops to achieve a comprehensive victory. This is also the reason why all the candidates for commanders of the 178 Fortress must come from the sharp knife company. Only those who have fought their lives are qualified to let others fight for him."
Ren Xiaosu silently, Jiao Xiaochen patted his shoulder happily: "Commander Zhang came from the sharp knife company. If we are really cannon fodder, then the commander can be cannon fodder, why can't we behave?"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that perhaps it was because all the commanders were willing to lead by example that the 178 Fortress had the cohesion that it is now.
So when he said he was going to come to the most dangerous place, Zhang Jinglin arranged himself to the Sharp Knife Company. What does it mean?
"Where will we fight in this war?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Of course, it completely destroyed the Zong family. It was all the way to the northeast and hit it until Pingluo Mountain," Zhang Xiaoman said: "If a hyena like Zong family does not endure future troubles forever, there will be no peace in the northwest."
...
That night, just after the sun set, Sharp Knife took the lead in launching another attack on the hinterland of Shichuan Town.
During the day, the enemy in Shichuan Town seemed to be ordered to regain the lost land, but street fighting has always been the attacking party suffered a loss, and the enemy chose to break through the route where the second and third companies were stationed.
The two company commanders were full of anger, and Zhang Xiaoman was so angry that they felt more and more uncomfortable. As a result, the enemy was coming to the door, so they must be beaten hard.
During the previous breakthrough, there were heavy machine guns and ammunition in the machine gun positions that were destroyed, but Zhang Xiaoman and the others did not take them because they had enough weight to carry and could not take them any more.
All the falling weapons and ammunition were in the hands of the Second and Third Company. When the machine gun bullets were fired, they wanted to pour out like rain, and the walls collapsed several sides.
Xu Haichen kept roaring behind the machine gun position, would he hit him?
The defenders in Shichuan Town rushed for several waves and could not break through the defense lines of the second and third companies, so they had to retreat.
After the raid battle the next day, the Sharp Dao Company had already led the follow-up troops to advance 5 kilometers to Shichuan Town. Only a small number of Zong defenders were left to resist stubbornly in northern buildings.
This battle made the Shichuan Town defenders very frustrated. They thought they had strong firepower. On the entire street fighting battlefield, they had dozens of firepower points, and there were countless soldiers who were preparing to fire cold guns hidden in the building.
But after two days of fighting, they suddenly felt that their defensive positions were like those of mud, and they could not cause any effective obstacles to the soldiers of the 178 Fortress.
Sometimes when people don’t even see it, the firepower point is knocked out by a grenade!
The fight was so frustrating!
According to the original plan, they will consume 178 of the entire Fortress in Shichuan Town, but as a result, only three companies came to the Fortress Battalion and broke through Shichuan Town.
In fact, if it weren't for street combat, the killing effect of grenades on the flat ground may not be very good.
And now, those black houses, originally the defensive barriers of the defenders, have now become Ren Xiaosu's targets.
The next night, when Zhang Xiaoman reported the battle situation to battalion commander Zhou Yinglong, Zhou Yinglong felt a little numb. He had told Zhang Jinglin before, asking the commander to give him more time so that he could safely defeat Shichuan Town.
