407. Adaptability
War is easy to make people tired, and even sleep on the battlefield is not stable, and this mental exhaustion can only be carried by a true soldier.
As the night of the third day was about to fall, Zhang Xiaoman ordered the inspection of the guns and announced his pre-war mobilization: "Fill me with bullets, we are going to end the battle tonight, I know you are all tired......"
"Don't be tired, company commander," Jiao Xiaochenle said with a smile: "On the frontal battlefield, Ren Xiaosu has been opening up a safe area, and we are just mending the knife, so we are not tired." ”
Zhang Xiaoman's rhetoric was his usual mobilization before the decisive battle, and it was basically the most dangerous before the end of the battle, so he hoped that his soldiers could cheer up and face it well.
He wasn't a good guy at pre-war mobilization, so this rhetoric was summed up during a break, and the result is no longer applicable.
Seeing that after two days of high-intensity fighting, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company were more and more excited, and they were not tired at all.
This is different from previous battles, which have never been easier.
Zhang Xiaoman said with emotion: "Forget it, it's over after the fight, everyone pay attention, before Camp Commander Zhou, they suspected that there were weapons of mass destruction hidden in this Shichuan Town, so if the enemy was cornered on the last day, it was likely to use this weapon." ”
Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "Camp Chief Zhou, did they say that there might be something hidden in this Shichuan Town?"
"It's probably artillery or something," Zhang Xiaoman said, "Our 178 fortress is still a little lacking in intelligence work, and we haven't found out how many and what the defenders here are." ”
In terms of intelligence work, Ren Xiaosu really admires Qing's.
That Qingzhen's preparations for the war were almost all-round, and he was thinking far-sightedly.
On the side of the 178 fortress, Zhang Jinglin has been away for more than ten years, and the entire fortress has been in a state of almost leaderlessness.
Although he has the post of acting commander, even this acting commander is a duck on the shelf, so this northwestern man from the army only focuses on armaments, army training, and army replacement, and does not develop much economic and intelligence work, which is really not good at these.
During the day, the defenders of Shichuan launched a frantic attack, but after that attack was repulsed, there was no movement.
At that time, Zhang Xiaoman thought that he was being honest with the Zong family, but the shadow that Ren Xiaosu left outside had been quietly infiltrating backwards with a shadow, and he found that during this attack, the defenders of Shichuan Town in the rear were slowly retreating.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it carefully, this attack was probably to cover the retreat of the army behind, and only in this way would the retreat not let Zhang Xiaoman and them notice.
However, why did the defenders of Shichuan retreat?
Ren Xiaosu didn't have time to think: "Company commander, let's retreat." ”
"Withdraw?" just won the battle, you let us withdraw?" Zhang Xiaoman said strangely.
"There is danger," Ren Xiaosu said seriously.
Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "We went to the front line to face the danger head-on, how can there be any reason to retreat? And if there are too many retreats, many streets and alleys will be fought in vain." ”
"The defenders behind Shichuan Town are evacuating, and there must be a reason for that!" Ren Xiaosu said.
"How do you know that they have withdrawn, haven't you been here all along?" Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "It's all here, you can't withdraw!"
"If we can defeat it before, we can still defeat it in the future," Ren Xiaosu said eagerly: "Let's withdraw! What if the Zong clan directly covers Shichuan Town with artillery fire?"
"How is it possible? We have three companies in Shichuan Town, and if they directly cover them with artillery fire, it is no different from fighting mosquitoes with artillery. ”
Zhang Xiaoman was about to say something, but found that he was carried up by Ren Xiaosu, Zhang Xiaoman was suddenly shocked: "You put it down for me!"
It's just that Ren Xiaosu didn't pay attention to what he said at all, and actually picked up Zhang Xiaoman and ran frantically to the periphery of Shichuan Town.
His move stunned even the others, Zhang Xiaoman yelled on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "You put me down, Ren Xiaosu, you disobey the military order, be careful that I kill you!"
Ren Xiaosu said as he ran: "If it was only three companies here, of course the Zong clan would not make such a big move, but if the Zong clan found out that I was also here, it would be different." ”
Zhang Xiaoman paused, he didn't understand what Ren Xiaosu meant for a while.
The Sharp Knife Company, the Second Company, and the Third Company were still stunned, and Zhang Xiaoman suddenly sighed on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "Retreat, retreat!" Ren Xiaosu, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will really send you to a military court. ”
All the soldiers and non-commissioned officers looked at each other, what else could they do, and they withdrew.
This retreat was actually directly outside Shichuan Town, and Ren Xiaosu ran out of Shichuan Town and ran for two kilometers before stopping.
Zhang Xiaoman was about to be vomited on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder, not to mention anything else, Ren Xiaosu's physical strength was really good, carrying more than 100 pounds of people and running a few kilometers cross-country, nothing happened!
As a result, as soon as Ren Xiaosu put Zhang Xiaoman on the ground, all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company saw a huge fire suddenly erupt in the direction of Shichuan Town, and there was an explosion that could be heard from afar.
Even after several kilometers, everyone could feel the ground trembling.
It wasn't covered by artillery, and in fact it wasn't covered by artillery at all, but the explosives left behind by the defenders of Shichuan Town engulfed the entire abandoned town into flames.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at this scene in a daze: "It's really fucking evil, if you don't leave, I'm afraid the three companies will all be finished." ”
He didn't pursue Ren Xiaosu's departure with him, and at this time, all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company, the Second Company, and the Third Company looked at the sea of fire with palpitations.
Because of the explosion just now, everyone had symptoms of short-term tinnitus.
"How do you know that they have withdrawn?" Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu and said curiously.
"I don't want to say this yet," Ren Xiaosu replied very bluntly.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoman didn't delve into it, but thought about it and said: "But you still have to listen to orders in the future, you forgot what I said......"
Ren Xiaosu said: "Company commander, you said that you would be improvised. ”
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Jiao Xiaochen: "Did I say it?"
Jiao Xiaochen said honestly: "I said it." ”
Zhang Xiaoman himself was happy, this was the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he said solemnly to Ren Xiaosu: "Thank you." ”
"Thanks from Zhang Xiaoman, +1!"
This is indeed a life-saving grace, if it weren't for Ren Xiaosu's quick reaction, I'm afraid the three companies would all be gone.
No matter what you say, Ren Xiaosu's arrival is like an insurance policy for everyone's life.
And Ren Xiaosu looked at this thank you record and looked at the others.
