Four Hundred and Seven, Adapt to the Situation

War is easy to make people tired. On the battlefield, you can't even sleep well. This kind of mental exhaustion can only be carried by real soldiers.

When the night of the third day was about to fall, Zhang Xiaoman ordered the inspection of the firearms, and announced his pre-war mobilization: "All the bullets are loaded to me. We will end the battle tonight. I know everyone is very tired..."

"Not tired, company commander," Jiao Xiaochen said with a cheerful smile, "Ren Xiaosu has been opening up a safe area on the frontal battlefield. We're just making up for damage, so there's nothing to be tired of."

Zhang Xiaoman's remarks were his usual mobilization before the decisive battle. Basically, the most dangerous time was before the end of the battle, so he hoped that the soldiers under him could cheer up and face it well.

He was not a person who was good at mobilizing before the battle, so this rhetoric was summed up during the break, but it turned out to be inapplicable now.

After two days of high-intensity fighting, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company became more and more excited, and they were not tired at all.

This is different from previous battles, which have never been so easy before.

Zhang Xiaoman said with emotion: "Forget it, the fight is over. Attention everyone, before Battalion Commander Zhou and the others suspected that there were large-scale lethal weapons hidden in Shichuan Town, so if the enemy is cornered on the last day, they will probably use this weapon .”

Ren Xiaosu asked curiously: "Have Battalion Commander Zhou and the others say what might be hidden in Shichuan Town?"

"Probably something like artillery," Zhang Xiaoman said, "Our Fort 178 is still a bit lacking in intelligence work, and we haven't found out how many and what are the defenders here."

In terms of intelligence work, Ren Xiaosu really admired the Qing family.

That Qing Zhen made almost all-round preparations for the war, with far-reaching thoughts.

As for Fort 178, Zhang Jinglin has been away for more than ten years, and the entire fortress has been almost leaderless.

Although he has the post of acting commander, even this acting commander was put on the shelves, so this man from the Northwest who was born in the army only focused on armaments, army training, and army replacement, and did not develop the economy and intelligence work much. He is not good at these.

During the day, the Shichuan garrison launched a crazy attack, but after that attack was repelled, there was no movement.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoman thought he was playing the Zong family honestly, but Ren Xiaosu's shadow left outside had been sneaking in behind the shadow, and he discovered that during this attack, the Shichuan garrison in the rear was slowly retreating.

Ren Xiaosu thought about it carefully,

This attack is probably to cover the retreat of the army behind, only in this way will the retreat not be noticed by Zhang Xiaoman and the others.

However, why did the Shichuan guards retreat?

Ren Xiaosu didn't have time to think: "Commander, let's retreat."

"Withdraw? We just won the battle, you want us to withdraw?" Zhang Xiaoman asked strangely.

"It's dangerous," Ren Xiaosu said seriously.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "We went to the front line to face the danger, so there is no reason to retreat? And if we retreat too much, many streets and alleys will be fought in vain."

"The defenders behind Shichuan Town are withdrawing. There must be a reason!" Ren Xiaosu said.

"How do you know they've withdrawn, haven't you been here all the time?" Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "It's already here, you can't withdraw!"

"If we were able to defeat them before, we can still defeat them in the future," Ren Xiaosu said eagerly, "Let's retreat! What if the Zong clan directly covers Shichuan Town with artillery fire?"

"How is it possible? We have only three companies in Shichuan Town. If they directly cover them with artillery fire, it is no different from shooting mosquitoes with cannons."

Zhang Xiaoman was about to say something, but when he found himself picked up by Ren Xiaosu, Zhang Xiaoman was shocked: "Put it down!"

It's just that Ren Xiaosu completely ignored what he said, picked up Zhang Xiaoman and ran frantically towards the outskirts of Shichuan Town.

His action stunned the sharp knife and even the others. Zhang Xiaoman yelled on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "Put me down, Ren Xiaosu, you disobeyed the military order, be careful and I will kill you!"

Ren Xiaosu said while running: "If only three companies were here, Zong's would not be so violent, but if Zong 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.

While the Sharp Knife Company, Second Company, and Third Company were still in a daze, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly sighed on Ren Xiaosu's shoulder: "Retreat, retreat, retreat! Ren Xiaosu, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will really send you to the military Court."

All the soldiers and non-commissioned officers looked at each other in blank dismay, what else can they do, just withdraw.

This retreat was actually directly outside Shichuan Town. Ren Xiaosu ran out of Shichuan Town and ran two kilometers abruptly before stopping.

Zhang Xiaoman was almost convulsed on Ren Xiaosu's shoulders. Apart from anything else, Ren Xiaosu's physical strength is really good. He ran cross-country for a few kilometers with a person carrying more than 100 catties, and 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 huge flames erupting in the direction of Shichuan Town, and there was an explosion that could be heard from a distance.

Everyone could feel the ground trembling, even after several kilometers.

It was not covered by artillery, in fact, it was not covered by artillery at all, but the explosives left by the Shichuan garrison that engulfed the entire abandoned town in a sea of ​​flames.

Zhang Xiaoman stared at this scene in a daze: "It's so damn evil, if it doesn't leave, I'm afraid all three companies will be finished."

He didn't pursue the matter of Ren Xiaosu carrying him away. At this moment, all the soldiers of Sharp Knife Company, Second Company, and Third Company looked at the sea of ​​flames with lingering fear.

Because of the explosion just now, everyone experienced short-term tinnitus.

"How do you know they withdrew?" Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked curiously.

"I don't want to talk about that right now," Ren Xiaosu replied very straightforwardly.

"Okay," Zhang Xiaoman didn't delve into it, but thought for a while and said, "But you still have to obey orders in the future, you forgot what I said..."

Ren Xiaosu said: "Company Commander, you said you will adapt to the situation."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Jiao Xiaochen: "Did I say that?"

Jiao Xiaochen said honestly, "I said so."

Zhang Xiaoman himself was happy, this is the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he solemnly said to Ren Xiaosu: "Thank you."

"Thanks from Zhang Xiaoman, +1!"

This was indeed a life-saving grace. If Ren Xiaosu hadn't reacted quickly, the three companies might have been wiped out.

No matter how you say it, Ren Xiaosu's arrival is like an insurance policy for everyone's life.

While Ren Xiaosu looked at the thank you record, he turned his attention to the others.
