The war began from the moment the sharp knife company hit Guanshan, there was no formal declaration of war, and the first gunshot was the clarion call for war.

The attack on Shichuan Town was only a small episode in the whole war, and the second and third companies went to Shichuan Town with the Sharp Knife Company, which was not a place where the Sharp Knife Company could fight independently.

From now on, they will all face the regular army of the Zong clan, which has received systematic military training and has fought countless targets, but they have not really been on the battlefield.

It's very different from the bandits you faced before.

According to Zhang Xiaoman, the military skills of these regular troops of the Zong clan are not much worse than those of the 178 Fortress, the difference is only experience and the ability to adapt on the battlefield.

and what is included in the desensitization training.

Some Zong recruits will vomit, nausea, be scared, and be scared when they see the intestines turned out and the broken legs, but the veterans of Fortress 178 will not.

In the forward base, Zhou Yinglong asked the orderly soldiers to give a piece of paper and a pen to everyone in the sharp knife company.

"What is this for?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zhang Xiaoman looked up at him: "Write a suicide note." ”

"Suicide note?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, on the surface, it is said that everyone can write down what they want to say, if they can't come back, the affairs department will help everyone send the letter to the family, which is considered to explain the future, and if you come back, you can go to the affairs department to ask for the letter to leave," Zhang Xiaoman explained: "We all call this thing a suicide note." ”

"That's so unlucky," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.

"There's nothing unlucky," Zhang Xiaoman shook his head: "People who go to the battlefield should look down on life and death, in fact, we didn't understand it at first, but after fighting the enemy outside Fortress 178 so many times, the suicide note has been written several times, and I have long been numb." ”

"Then who are you writing this for," Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

"Write to my father," Zhang Xiaoman said, "and my daughter-in-law." ”

"You're married?"

"Look at what you said, I'm almost thirty years old," Zhang Xiaomanle laughed: "Can't you ask for a daughter-in-law yet?"

Ren Xiaosu was a little embarrassed, he didn't have this concept in his head, so he thought that everyone was as single as him.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoman has become a company commander, and his age is not too young.

"What does it feel like to get married?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

"It's okay, so-so, I have a hot meal to eat when I get home," Mr. Zhang said as he wrote.

"Happy?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zhang Xiaomanle raised his head: "You kid is Sichun, why are you so interested in this matter, let me tell you this, I only have one year of happy married life." ”

"That feels pretty good," Ren Xiaosu said.

Jiao Xiaochen next to him laughed and said, "You don't understand, he has been married for ten years." ”

Ren Xiaosu: "......"

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked, "Don't you write letters?"

Ren Xiaosu paused for a while: "I don't know who to write to." ”

All the soldiers in the Sharp Knife Company suddenly fell silent, and they realized that this might be the reason why Ren Xiaosu fought the Zong clan so desperately.

After coming out of the forward base, they can only advance on foot, and the battle plan says that they will arrive at the outskirts of Shichuan Town on the third day, but they must be on full alert from the moment they walk out of the forward base, so as not to ambush the Zong army in advance on the outskirts of Shichuan Town.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked: "Shichuan Town is on the plain, although there are woods on the periphery, it is difficult for us to break through and enter Shichuan Town." ”

Zhang Xiaoman hugged the automatic rifle in his hand and explained: "First use mortars, the range of three kilometers is enough for us to make a gap outside the range of the enemy's heavy machine guns, and then we will be qualified to enter street fighting." ”

"Is there a spectrum?" Ren Xiaosu was skeptical.

"If you really can't do it, let the artillery units in the rear bombard it with large-caliber howitzers," Zhang Xiaoman said: "There is always a way." ”

On the night of the second day of the march, suddenly there was the sound of gunfire on both flanks, and the clatter of heavy machine guns could be heard even from a distance on the side of the sharp knife company.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "The second and third companies are ambushed, let's be careful!"

Everyone expected that the Zong clan would start setting up an ambush outside Shichuan Town, so it was not an accident, presumably the second and third companies were also prepared.

Suddenly there was gunfire in front of them, but it was still far away.

Zhang Xiaoman and the others subconsciously hid behind a tree on the side of the road, but no bullets came.

"Strange, who is this shot?" Zhang Xiaoman wondered: "Keep moving forward!"

It's just that the Sharp Knife Company continued to move forward for a few hundred meters, but it still did not reach the imaginary enemy, and did not even hear the slightest gunshot.

"Something is wrong," Zhang Xiaoman frowned and said, "Let's take the main road, is it the Zong clan's old suspicions?" Fu Rao, Lin Ping'an, you two go to the front to investigate!"

It's not that Zhang Xiaoman likes to summon Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an when he is in danger, there must be sharp soldiers in this company, and when it is dangerous, the top soldiers themselves have to rush forward first, which is a different division of labor.

Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an bent down along the woods and touched forward, but before they had gone far, they saw the two of them turn back: "Company commander, no, the people who ambushed us were killed, and they all wiped their necks!"

"There is only one combat team on this machine-gun position, thirty people, all of whom have just died, and the blood is still flowing," Lin Ping'an added.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu suspiciously: "What did you do?"

"No," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "Aren't I standing here?"

"yes," the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company were also a little confused: "Who helped us beat this machine gun position? And he also wiped his neck with a knife, which must be done by an extraordinary person, right?"

Everyone was puzzled, a mysterious transcendent suddenly appeared on the battlefield to do good deeds?

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company are not stupid, this matter is clearly like Ren Xiaosu did it, but they have no evidence......

To be honest, everyone still doesn't know what kind of ability Ren Xiaosu is.

Zhang Xiaoman tested Ren Xiaosu again: "It's really not you?"

"It's really not me," Ren Xiaosu said innocently.

Zhang Xiaoman came to the machine gun position, he found a corpse and touched the other party's tiger mouth: "There is no thick cocoon, it is not a trained soldier, it should be a temporary team of displaced people, or a private army." ”

"It's all cannon fodder," Jiao Xiaochen said, "It seems that the Zong clan wants to use cannon fodder to consume us first." ”

"Unexpectedly," Zhang Xiaoman said, "there will be no shortage of enemy troops in Shichuan Town, and there are conservative estimates of thousands, but the good news is that most of the enemies we encounter now should be very weak and have a bad grasp of the firing range." ”

Shichuan Town is not a very important place in the first place, and the reason why the Zong clan is stationed here is purely to strategically disgust the advance base.
