The generals of the various combat sequences in the command camp looked at the joint protest letter, and the content of the letter probably explained that in the battle to capture Dingyuan Mountain, Ren Xiaosu climbed the back mountain with his bare hands to carry out a surprise attack on the bandits, and he made great contributions, so everyone deserved the third-class merit.

Moreover, Commander Zhang's practice of not giving Ren Xiaosu third-class merit is really unfair.

Zhou Yinglong secretly looked at Zhang Jinglin's face while reading the protest letter, but he found that Zhang Jinglin didn't seem to be unhappy, and he whispered tentatively: "I didn't expect this group of bastards to come to the duty commander is unfair, I will punish them when I go back?"

Zhang Jinglin smiled: "I don't know what calculations you have in your heart?" Okay, don't test me, I'm not angry." ”

"That's good," Zhou Yinglong laughed: "It's still the commander of your generosity." ”

At this time, the brigade commander of the combat brigade suddenly wondered: "Zhou Yinglong's sharp knife company is famous for hob meat, this Xiao Su has just been in the sharp knife company for a few days, has there been such a cohesion?"

Zhang Jinglin said: "Okay, this matter will not be discussed anymore, and the award ceremony in the evening will also be canceled, Zhou Yinglong, you go back and say to the sharp knife, the reason why there is no name of Ren Xiaosu in the third-class merit is because I plan to give him the second-class merit." However, Ren Xiaosu fabricated the battle report, and this second-class merit was also canceled. We will now begin to discuss the next step of the battle plan. ”

Zhou Yinglong, who was sitting at the end, suddenly had a toothache, or the commander's routine was deep, and he didn't give anything in the end, but the generals of each combat sequence already knew that Ren Xiaosu had gained a firm foothold in the Sharp Knife Company, not only with fierce force, but also very popular.

In the past, there would be discussions among the generals, maybe it was a coincidence that Zhang Jinglin put Ren Xiaosu in the sharp knife company, and he did not want to choose Ren Xiaosu as his successor.

But now looking at Commander Zhang's set of operations, it is clear that he is paving the way for Ren Xiaosu, right?

Of course, striking iron also needs its own hardness, if Ren Xiaosu is a weak stubble, I'm afraid Zhang Jinglin can't lift it if he wants to.

But Ren Xiaosu is not weak.

Zhou Yinglong was a little puzzled, how could it seem that Commander Zhang was very confident in Ren Xiaosu?

Although Ren Xiaosu didn't seem to get anything this time, all the generals understood Zhang Jinglin's mind again, and they also got to know Ren Xiaosu more truly.

Probably this is Zhang Jinglin's purpose.

......

Zhang Xiaoman and other non-commissioned officers have not yet returned to their camps, and at this time, someone from the cadre department outside has come to inform them that the evening award ceremony has been canceled, Ren Xiaosu is a little puzzled: "Why did it cancel it?"

It was only the non-commissioned officers who went to deliver the protest letters, and the soldiers did not go.

The sharp knife next to Ren Xiaosu didn't even speak, and the person from the cadre department said: "The non-commissioned officer of your company went to the commander to protest against the matter of not giving you third-class merit, and felt that it was unfair to you, and the commander investigated you for fabricating the battle report, and canceled their third-class merit." ”

It was only at this time that Zhang Xiaoman and others appeared in the camp, and Ren Xiaosu frowned and looked at Zhang Xiaoman: "Why bother, I said that I don't need military exploits." ”

"You don't need to be your business," Zhang Xiaoman said with a big grin: "But our brothers in the Sharp Knife Company can't look down on this unfair thing, our Sharp Knife Company, one is prosperous, and one is lost!"

Ren Xiaosu didn't speak for a long time, but the comrade-in-arms of the cadre next to him pouted and said, "Originally, Ren Xiaosu was a second-class meritorious, but now it has been canceled." ”

"Cancel ......" Zhang Xiaoman's smile gradually disappeared: "What did you say?"

The comrades-in-arms of the cadre division glanced at Zhang Xiaoman: "We have already prepared the documents for Ren Xiaosu's second-class merit, and this time it has also been canceled." ”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu, and then at this cadre, and immediately covered his face and didn't know what to say.

The comrades-in-arms of the cadre division were happy: "Okay, don't be in a hurry and be depressed, the command has explained, this time the third-class merit will be detained for you, and you will be counted together when you make meritorious service again." ”

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoman suddenly looked up.

The comrade-in-arms of the cadre division said: "But the whole group army knows that you are now the heroes of the victory in the first battle, and you should be indispensable, and the commander allows you to stay all of the trophies of Dingyuan Mountain." ”

Zhang Xiaoman was overjoyed at once, the loot had always been handed over to the Quartermaster Department for unified deployment, and when the time came to fight again, the Sharp Knife Company would return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Now that the commander has opened his mouth to allow them to keep those trophies, then they may be the company with the most ammunition in the entire army now.

After the people from the cadre department left, Ren Xiaosu said thank you to Zhang Xiaoman and others very seriously: "I keep everyone's intentions in my heart, thank you." ”

"Thank you," Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "If it weren't for you, many of us wouldn't be able to come back now." ”

Ren Xiaosu looked at this group of rough men from the northwest, and didn't know why he suddenly looked forward to continuing to fight side by side with them.

At this moment, Zhou Yinglong strode over: "You old boys made a fuss, I will settle accounts with you when I come back from the battle, now all of them are here, pack your bags and go to Shichuan Town, and take Shichuan Town down for me within 7 days!"

The town of Shichuan is about 70 kilometers away from the forward base, in the northeast of the forward base.

There were no people living there, just a ruin left over from a small city before the cataclysm, but now it has become the southernmost defensive support point of the Zong clan.

Fortress 178 was eager to take down Shichuan Town because it was too close to the forward base, preventing the Zong clan from erecting ultra-long-range artillery there and bringing the forward base into the attack range.

The security of the forward base is now one of the most important things at the beginning of the war, and the first task of the forward battalion at the moment is to protect the security of the forward base.

Zhang Xiaoman took out the map and took a look: "It is said that there are many buildings in Shichuan Town that are still preserved, which are very suitable for setting up heavy machine guns, and there are also newly built fortifications and pillboxes of the Zong clan inside, this street battle is not very easy to fight." ”

Street fighting, also known as urban warfare, under normal circumstances, street battles will be short-handed, and even close combat, enemies and friends are mixed with each other, dogs and teeth are staggered, and the danger is extremely strong.

Narrow streets, complex environments, invisible enemies, invisible gunfire......

You don't know what black hole will suddenly stick out of the window of a gun, and start harvesting life.

"Can't you let the armored brigade cover?" Jiao Xiaochen asked with a frown.

"No," Zhang Xiaoman shook his head: "The function of the forward base has not yet been perfected, and the armored brigade cannot rashly march to the depth route." ”

For a while, even the sharp knives even this group of hooligans who were not afraid of death had a cloud of sorrow in their hearts.

Only Ren Xiaosu still acted like a nobody, as if he didn't pay attention to the street fighting at all.
