Chapter 20: Lonely Hills

In front of the army, in a battalion commander-level military tent, Xiao Jingru, who was wearing a military uniform but not wearing any armor, was carefully observing the map of the march, and there was a simple dinner plate on the corner of the table in front of her, which showed that she was not so special as a battalion commander.

"Camp Commander Xiao, can I come in?" Just as Xiao Jingru was in thought, a soft voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

Listening to this familiar voice, Xiao Jingru's face flashed with displeasure, but she still said routinely: "Come in!" ”

As soon as Xiao Jingru's words fell, a young man with a handsome face but a pompous air walked in from outside the tent. The young man was also wearing a battalion commander-level standard military uniform, but his body did not show any temperament that belonged to a soldier, and this person was also Tang Yu, who had some holidays with Ye Wen.

"Jingru, this march is hard, I specially asked the people below to make some food for you, you can taste it while it's hot." Placing the tray in his hand in front of Xiao Jingru, Tang Yu said flatteringly.

A few dishes in the tray are still steaming, both the materials and the method are exquisite, and at a glance you can know that it is not the chef in the barracks, which shows that Tang Yu has definitely moved a lot of thoughts about these dishes alone.

Glancing at the food in front of her, a faint anger flashed on Xiao Jingru's face, but she still said in a restrained manner: "This is a military camp, and I won't bother the battalion commander so much in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter, whatever you want to eat in the future, even if you say anything, the cooking skills I brought this time are not bad." Not perceiving Xiao Jingru's anger, Tang Yu still said with a sneer.

"Okay, I still have military affairs here, please ask Battalion Commander Tang to go out! As for this thing, please also ask Camp Commander Tang to bring it back, I, Xiao Jingru, will not be blessed. This time, Xiao Jingru was not polite again, and the meaning of the eviction order in her words was also obvious.

"You ......" Seeing Xiao Jingru so ignorant of lifting, Tang Yu's handsome face also appeared a hideous, but he still endured it and said, "Since this is the case, then I will retire first." ”

Looking at Tang Yu who retreated from the battalion commander, Xiao Jingru unconsciously ignited a sense of anger, this Tang Yu has not done anything serious since he came to the barracks, and he has also made a mess of the atmosphere in the barracks. If it weren't for the scruples of Tang Yu's father, Tang Yingming, who was the secretary of the military department, he would never tolerate him to this day.

In North Vietnam, all military and political power was shared between the Ministry of War and her father, General Xiao Yuanshan, who was in charge of the dispatch of the army, while Tang Yingming was in charge of the army's supply and all logistics. In many places, even her father had to make concessions to Tang Yingming, otherwise Tang Yu would not have the courage to take the position of battalion commander.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingru was only deeply helpless, and she and Tang Yu were separated from the deployment of this march, hoping that it would be better not to cause too much trouble.

After three days of marching, the third battalion led by Xiao Jingru and the fourth battalion led by Tang Yu also quickly arrived at the destination of this trip - Youshan Ridge, which is already the forefront of the border of North Vietnam.

Surrounded by mountains, even lightly armed infantry are not easy to climb, and only in the middle of the mountain range there is a narrow and gentle strip. And the closer this strip got to the North Vietnamese state, the more it shrank, and in the end it only formed a mountain pass, which is a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack place, according to the soldiers.

Because of this, in the hundreds of battles that broke out between the North Vietnamese Kingdom and the Lanxi Kingdom, the Silent Ridge has never been splashed by the flames of war. It is also because of this that the North Vietnamese state will only send two battalions, and it is also a new battalion of seventy percent of the recruits.

However, this can also be seen how tight the battle line of the North Vietnamese Kingdom is, and now the Black Rock City and Starfall City on the southern border of the North Vietnamese Kingdom have been lost one after another. The terrain there is unobstructed, which is more suitable for large-scale attacks, so the superior troops such as the North Vietnamese heavy cavalry have also been transferred, so that the defense here can only be relatively empty.

and the 7th Battalion of the 4th Wing, which was originally stationed here, handled the handover, and Xiao Jingru and Tang Yu also quickly arranged their own barracks to be stationed, but during this period, an unpleasant thing happened to many people.

Originally, because he received the order of the military headquarters in advance, Wang Yuan, the commander of the seventh battalion who had been stationed here, had already been waiting here, and in order to express his welcome to the new recruits who assisted in the defense, Wang Yuan also prepared a lot of wild game in the mountains to entertain the new troops who had been running for a long time.

However, when Xiao Jingru and Tang Yu appeared in front of Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan's face, which was still faintly happy, quickly became gloomy.

Wang Yuan could not see that he was in his early forties from his complexion, with a Chinese face, a pair of tiger eyes, and a straight nose and a square mouth. Although he is already middle-aged, Wang Yuan's body is still extremely strong, and his tower-like figure is covered with a mighty armor, giving people a heavy momentum from afar.

And what's even more terrifying is that Wang Yuan has a one-foot scar on the left side of his face, and the whole scar spreads from his face to his neck like a centipede, making his already fierce face even more terrifying.

In the military circles of North Vietnam, if Wang Yuan is mentioned to the officers of the older generation, I am afraid that few people do not know about this person. When it comes to military exploits, Wang Yuan himself has no problem even if he is a wing captain, and even the scar on his face that almost killed him was left by a big war that year.

But he has a fatal problem, his personality is too upright and he doesn't know how to restrain anyone, and he can be described as a character who dares to pull the emperor off the horse. Because of this, even though he has outstanding military exploits and brave fighting, after so many years, he has only mixed up with the position of a battalion commander, and he has also been dispatched to such a bleak and bitter cold place to garrison the pass.

Now, seeing that the two are only in their early twenties, and what is even more infuriating is that there is actually a woman among them who is the battalion commander, Wang Yuan suddenly feels angry, and it is naturally not difficult to guess for such a veteran who has suffered deeply.

So the situation that things have evolved is, not to mention hospitality, Wang Yuan has never given Xiao Jingru and Tang Yu a good face, and even the most basic problems of the army's stationing and eating, Wang Yuan has not cared about it.

However, this time it was indeed Wang Yuan who misunderstood, although Tang Yu, the battalion commander, said that there was some moisture, but Xiao Jingru did it step by step. In North Vietnam**, many veterans who have galloped on the battlefield have praised Xiao Jingru's outstanding military talent, but these things are not known to Wang Yuan, a general who has been guarding the pass.
