407、Information
War is easy to make people tired. Even if you sleep well on the battlefield, only real warriors can withstand this kind of mental consumption.
When the third night was about to come, Zhang Xiaoman ordered the inspection of the firearms and issued his own pre-war mobilization: "Everyone has filled the bullets, we will end the battle tonight. I know you are all very tired..."
"I'm not tired, company commander," Jiao Xiaochen laughed happily, "Ren Xiaosu has been opening a safe area on the front battlefield. We are just finishing the fight, and there is nothing to be tired."
Zhang Xiaoman's remarks were his usual pre-decisive mobilization. It was basically the most dangerous before the battle was about to end, so he hoped that his soldiers could cheer up and face it well.
He was not a good person at pre-war mobilization, so this statement was summarized carefully during rest, but the result is now not applicable.
Seeing that two days of high-intensity battles were over, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company were more excited than the other and were not tired at all.
This is different from the previous battles, and it has never been so easy before.
Zhang Xiaoman sighed: "Forget it, the fight is over. Please note that Battalion Commander Zhou and others suspected that there were large-scale weapons of destruction hidden in Shichuan Town, so if the enemy is forced to go to the forefront on the last day, they may be activated."
Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "Did Battalion Commander Zhou and others say that there might be something hidden in Shichuan Town?"
"It's probably something like artillery," said Zhang Xiaoman: "Our 178 Fortress is still a bit lacking in intelligence work now, and it has not found out how many defenders there are and what are there."
In terms of intelligence work, Ren Xiaosu really admires Qingshi.
The preparations made by Qingzhen for the war were almost all-round and thoughtless.
On the 178 Fortress, Zhang Jinglin left for more than ten years, and the entire fortress has been in a state of almost headlessness.
Although he was the acting commander, even this acting commander was put on the shelves, so this northwestern man from the army only focused on military equipment and military training, and replaced the army, and did not develop economic and intelligence work much. He was really not good at these.
During the day, the Shichuan Town Guards launched a crazy round of attacks, but there was no movement after that attack was repelled.
At that time, Zhang Xiaoman thought he was just trying to be honest with Zong, but the shadows left by Ren Xiaosu were quietly penetrated backwards under the shadows. He actually found that during this attack, the Shichuan Town defenders in the rear were slowly retreating.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it carefully. This attack probably was to cover the retreat of the army behind. Only in this way can the retreat be avoided by Zhang Xiaoman and the others.
But why did the Shichuan Town defenders retreat?
Ren Xiaosu had no time to think: "Company Commander, let's retreat."
"Retreat? I just won the battle. Do you want us to withdraw?" Zhang Xiaoman said strangely.
"There is danger," Ren Xiaosu said seriously.
Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "We are here to face the danger directly, so how can we retreat? And if we retreat too much, many streets and alleys will be in vain."
"The defenders behind Shichuan Town are evacuating, there must be a reason!" Ren Xiaosu said.
"How do you know that they have retreated? Haven't you been here all the time?" Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "We've all hit this place, we can't retreat!"
"We can fight before, but we can fight in the future," Ren Xiaosu said anxiously: "Let's retreat! What if Zong clan directly covers Shichuan Town with artillery fire?"
"How is it possible? We only have three companies in Shichuan Town. If they directly cover it with artillery fire, it is no different from killing mosquitoes with cannons."
What was Zhang Xiaoman going to say, but found that he was being carried up by Ren Xiaosu. Zhang Xiaoman was shocked: "Put it down!"
But Ren Xiaosu completely ignored what he said, and actually carried Zhang Xiaoman and ran to the outside of Shichuan Town crazily.
His actions made the sharp knife even the others confused. Zhang Xiaoman shouted on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "Put me down, Ren Xiaosu, you disobey the military order, be careful that I will kill you!"
Ren Xiaosu ran and said, "If only three companies were here, the Zong clan would not have had such a big fight, but if Zong clan found out that I was here, it would be different."
Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment, but he didn't understand Ren Xiaosu's meaning for a while.
The Sharp Knife Company, the Second Company, and the Third Company were still standing there. Zhang Xiaoman suddenly sighed on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat! Ren Xiaosu, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I really want to send you to the military court."
All the soldiers and non-commissioned officers looked at each other. What else can I do? Let's retreat.
This retreated directly to Shichuan Town. Ren Xiaosu ran out of Shichuan Town and ran for two kilometers before stopping.
Zhang Xiaoman was almost vomited on Ren Xiaosu's shoulders. Not to mention anything else, Ren Xiaosu's physical strength is really good. He ran a few kilometers across the country with a person with a capacity of more than 100 kilograms, and there was nothing wrong with it!
As a result, just as Ren Xiaosu put Zhang Xiaoman on the ground, all the soldiers in the Sharp Knife saw a huge fire suddenly burst into Shichuan Town, and an explosion that could be heard from afar.
Even though it was several kilometers, everyone could feel the ground trembling.
It was not covered by artillery, but in fact it was not covered by artillery at all. Instead, the explosives left by the Shichuan Town Guards included the entire abandoned town in the sea of fire.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the scene in a daze: "What a damn evil nature. If he didn't leave, he would probably have all three companies finished."
He no longer pursued Ren Xiaosu's responsibility to carry him away. At this time, all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company, the Second Company and the Third Company were still scared when they looked at the sea of fire.
Because of the explosion just now, everyone had symptoms of brief tinnitus.
"How do you know they retreated?" Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu and said curiously.
"I don't want to say this yet," Ren Xiaosu's answer was also very straightforward.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoman did not delve into it, but thought for a while and said, "But you still have to listen to the orders in the future, you forgot what I said..."
Ren Xiaosu said: "Company Commander, you said you should be able to adapt to the situation."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Jiao Xiaochen: "Have I said it?"
Jiao Xiaochen said honestly: "I said it."
Zhang Xiaoman was so happy that he was happy after the disaster. He said solemnly to Ren Xiaosu: "Thank you."
"Thank you from Zhang Xiaoman, +1!"
This is indeed a life-saving grace. If Ren Xiaosu hadn't reacted quickly, all three companies would have been gone.
No matter what, Ren Xiaosu's arrival is like giving everyone a guarantee of their lives.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the thank-you record and looked at the others.
