The soldiers of the 178 fortress all have an unparalleled sense of belonging to the vicissitudes of the fortress, but Ren Xiaosu is very curious: "The inland consortium has never told the residents about your exploits, and those residents don't even know who is guarding the peace for them, even so, are you willing to continue to defend it?"

"Whether they know or not is their business," Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile: "It's our business whether to guard or not." ”

Because of the increase in ammunition and supplies, the things on everyone's back are almost as heavy as half a soldier.

Everyone complained that they were tired, but no one wanted to throw away the ammunition because it was what everyone needed to survive on the battlefield.

In Zhang Xiaoman's words, when war comes, all you can believe is the gun in your hand, the bullets in the magazine, and the comrades in the trenches.

Therefore, the sharp knife company looks down on cowards, and cowards will kill their comrades in the company.

"I heard that when Commander Zhang used to come to the Sharp Knife Company as a medical soldier, he didn't even want to shoot a gun," Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile while struggling to move forward: "At that time, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company looked down on him, but he didn't refute it, and as a result, in a battle, he saved hundreds of wounded, not only from his own company, but also from other companies, so he gained respect." Before that, everyone thought he was a bad seed. ”

This group of rough men from the 178 fortress did not shy away from discussing Zhang Jinglin at all, and Zhang Jinglin didn't seem to care about this.

Zhang Xiaoman said: "Originally, I saw that you were thin and weak, and I thought you couldn't fight, but I didn't expect you to be so violent." ”

Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "When Mr. Zhang went to the Sharp Knife Company, were you there?"

"In a fart, I was still playing with mud at that time," Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile: "That's all about the older generation." ”

"The older generation?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "Who are the older generations of the 178 Fortress?"

Zhang Xiaoman recalled for a moment and said: "If you don't mention it, it's almost over." ”

"So miserable?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned: "What's the matter." ”

"The battle sixteen years ago was fought too fiercely, the original group army did not survive one out of ten, and the people who survived said that it was a battle of nine deaths and a lifetime, and the fortress was about to be collapsed," Zhang Xiaoman said: "I know why the fortress used to accept displaced people, on the one hand, because everyone is a homeless, and some people are still sinners exiled from the Central Plains, so everyone's identity is not very good, and no one dislikes anyone, on the other hand, it is ...... No one wants to come to this miserable place except the outcasts, and Fortress 178 needs someone to guard it. ”

Ren Xiaosu was surprised: "There are still exiled Central Plains people in the 178 fortress?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile: "My neighbor is, but I haven't seen a Central Plains person exiled here for more than ten years, I heard that the place has been changed, and he was exiled to the north of the 176 barrier, and the north of the 176 barrier is the grassland." ”

"Is the 176 barrier far away from us?"

"Far away. ”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Except for waiting for the bell, don't you have any other thoughts or wishes?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Xiaoman said with a smile: "I want to be a brigade commander, just like my father!"

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "Your father is a brigade commander?"

Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment and said, "I mean, my father's dream is also to become a brigade commander." ”

Ren Xiaosu: "......"

The distance from Guanshan to Dingyuan Mountain was not far, and it had not gone far, Jiao Xiaochen, who was in charge of taking the lead in the front, suddenly raised his palm, and for a while all the soldiers in the rear were half-kneeling on the ground, raising their guns on alert.

Zhang Xiaoman bent down and ran to the front of the line and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"When I found the enemy, it seems that there is a hidden pile," Jiao Xiaochen said.

Zhang Xiaoman picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, and saw white smoke coming out of the ravine about a few hundred meters ahead: "It should be the smoke that comes out when smoking, the white smoke from cooking will not be like this, how can the bandits still have people standing guard at the foot of the mountain, and they are quite professional, but the person who executes it is too retarded." ”

The bandits managed by the Zong clan are indeed a little different from other bandits, but bandits are bandits after all.

"What should I do?" Jiao Xiaochen asked, "Just knock this dark pile down?"

"Well, continue to move along the ravine, Fu Rao, Lin Ping'an, you two see if you can touch the road over there, kill it secretly, and don't have gunshots," Zhang Xiaoman said.

The two men he ordered were the best trained in the Sharp Knife Company, and they were good at stealth infiltration and dagger melee attacks.

However, Fu Rao whispered: "Company commander, Ren Xiaosu has already gone to ......"

As soon as the words fell, the back of Zhang Xiaoman's head hurt, and it would be a headache to have such a fierce player in the team, he said: "Wait silently!"

At this time, Zhang Xiaoman was most worried that Ren Xiaosu made a lot of noise again, but there was no sound in front of him, and after a few minutes, he saw Ren Xiaosu carrying the two back, and the two were not even dead, they were just unconscious.

Ren Xiaosu threw the two people on the ground: "You can ask them about the deployment on the mountain, maybe we can use mortars to directly knock out their machine gun positions, the bandits are not so cautious, the two of them should know a lot of things." ”

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a long time, it is generally difficult to leave a living mouth when quietly breaking through the defense line, because it is necessary to avoid the enemy from struggling, shooting warnings, and shouting, so once he makes a move, he cannot leave room for it.

But the appearance of Ren Xiaosu makes this impossible a possibility.

However, Zhang Xiaoman said seriously: "Xiaosu, you are very violent, but you must obey the command when marching and fighting, and you must wait for my order to know? It is not that I deliberately play the pretense of the company commander, but that the army must be ordered and forbidden to fight." ”

Ren Xiaosu paused: "Understood, I'm sorry." ”

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, you have been a soldier in our 178 fortress, and you have not received training before going to the battlefield, so there are some things that we teach you in the process of fighting, you just need to have an open attitude. ”

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "Well, I won't act without permission in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaoman found someone to wake up the two bandits on the ground, and Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an put the dagger on their necks: "I let go of my hand, if you dare to shout, I will kill you immediately." ”

The bandits nodded frantically, and Zhang Xiaoman took out the battle map and pencil: "Give the two of you a chance to draw a defense map of Dingyuan Mountain, and spare you from dying." ”

Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an let go of the palm covering each other's mouths, only to hear the bandit ask, "What is the defense map?"

"It's to draw the place where you put heavy machine guns and mortars on the mountain, and then tell me how many people are guarding there," Zhang Xiaoman said coldly: "We are from the 178 fortress, and we won't die if we cooperate honestly, you know?"

The two bandits were stunned: "You are from the 178 fortress?

Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he looked at this scene, it seemed that after these two bandits heard the name of Fortress 178, they were not afraid that Zhang Xiaoman would regret it afterwards.
