Chapter 388: War mad

Since it was decided to hit the mountain to lure the bandits of Dingyuan Mountain, they must quietly enter the valley area, lest their actions be discovered in advance.
Nowadays, Zong's eyes and ears are all over the northwest. The plan for the 178 Fortress is to first clear the bandits in the valley area, so as to avoid the troubles caused by the bandits of these backs to the forward base when the real war is reached.
Zhang Xiaoman thinks that Guanshan should be harder to fight, but Ren Xiaosu doesn't think so, because some of the bandits died in Yan Liuyuan's curse like a catastrophe. He guessed that the bandits came from Guanshan.
At that time, they were near Khao Lak Mountain. The nearest armpits were Tang Wangshan and Guanshan. The bandits of Tangshan Mountain had long been squandered by Wang Congyang, so only the bandits of Guanshan could come.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not say this, and the battle in the wilderness seemed to be still blocked by Zong’s news. The 178 fortress was not informed.
The fortress of 178 was five or six hundred kilometers away from the battlefield at that time. No matter how the artillery fired, there was no movement in the fortress.
But Ren Xiaosu is very clear, if it is as he guessed, Guanshan is definitely not as difficult to fight as it is supposed to be, but it is much easier than setting a distant mountain.
The sharp knife even like a group of mice, suddenly abandoned the truck, one by one with a gun and a cannonball supply in the gully, crouching out, to the greatest extent possible not to be discovered by the enemy in advance.
During the daytime hiding in the shadow of the gully, Zhang Xiaoman said to Ren Xiaosu: "Although I don't know what your extraordinary ability is, but since you said that you can give Guanshan pressure, then I will believe you, but don't go to the place. Say you can't do it, you can't do it, I will shoot you directly if you are someone."
Ren Xiaosu did not speak, but held his own automatic rifle and leaned against the gully to close his eyes.
Everyone is slowly eating their own individual rations. They are now secretly sneak into the valley, and they can't make fire and cook smoke.
But what makes Zhang Xiaoman unexpected is that this small millet seems to be more bitter than they are. When everyone rests, they always need someone to stand on duty. The other soldiers are plagued with grievances, but Ren Xiaosu never complained about it. Let him When he is standing guard, he will stand guard, and it will not matter if he is standing for a while.
Zhang Xiaoman deliberately observed that when he was on duty, he was very serious and dedicated.
The sharp knife whispered again and again: "I don't want to be the commander of the commander."
The more demanding eyes of the big family go to see Xiao Su, it is not necessary to let Xiao Su do not go, but when everyone knows that this may be the next commander, I always think: I compare with this person, in the end, where is worse than him? He relied on him to become a candidate for the commander.
And Ren Xiaosu here, not only standing guard, but also everyone on the way to take turns to machine guns and mortars, the stuff is really heavy, the mortar is better, only 29.4 pounds, although it is uncomfortable to pick up long distances But still in an acceptable range.
The heavy machine gun with a diameter of 12.7mm has a weight of 50 pounds. It also carries its own marching backpack. The distance between Guanshan and Dingyuan Mountain is more than 100 kilometers. The road is still difficult to walk. Some soldiers want to smash this thing. The skin of the shoulders is worn out.
But Ren Xiaosu has never complained about anything.
Ren Xiaosu is now balanced in strength and agility, so it looks very thin. At first, Zhang Xiaoman was deliberately difficult to let Xiaosu, let him suffer.
The result is that Zhang Xiaoman is surprised that Ren Xiaosu looks thinner than them, but the crane guns are not ambiguous at all, and even take the initiative to share some of the other comrades.
This is the case in the army. You are hard, you have strength, and I respect you. I will look down on you if you are squeamish.
In the past few days of the wilderness, everyone’s impression of Ren Xiaosu has changed. This kid is really hard and powerful!
In the vagueness, the sharp knife even the comrades are thinking in his heart: not bad.
But this does not mean that everyone fully recognizes him. It is not enough to be the next commander. It is impossible to have physical strength and perseverance.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoman calculated: "Guanshan is about 30 kilometers away from Dingyuan Mountain. If Guanshan seeks assistance from Dingyuan Mountain, then Dingyuan Mountain will be able to arrive in about half an hour. We have to dig the battlefield ambush ahead of the road. Only then, if you can’t do it, you can’t beat the bandits.

Ren Xiaosu said: "This gully is a natural trench."

It’s also true,
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked.
Do you really have the confidence to give Guanshan pressure and ask them to call for help?

Ren Xiaosu calmly said: "I have made a military order."
The correspondent in the sharp knife company always kept in touch with the rear forward camp. The forward camp started on the second day after they opened, and it should be 60 kilometers behind them.
However, the target of the forward camp is not Guanshan and Dingyuan Mountain. They have to build a defense line in the north to avoid the victory of Zongshi’s southward after taking Guanshan and Dingyuan Mountain.
In the group army of 178 Fortress, in addition to leaving a combat brigade to improve the garrison power, the rest are ready to go to the battlefield.
Ren Xiaosu is curious: "The company commander, Zongshi really has 200,000 troops?"
Zhang Xiaoman sneered: "Where is the land of Zongshi, I dare to say that I have 200,000 people? Oh, no, if they are just the expanded militia and private troops, it seems that there are indeed 200,000 people. But I am 178 fortress. The man can hit the last soldier, and his Zong’s soldiers are afraid of a few hundred people, and a so-called combat brigade collapses."
At this time, Xiao Su was stunned. It turned out that this sect took the same path as Li, and he took the smugglers who were not squatting, and there were also private squads that were not enough to be defeated.
If Qingshi did the same, Ren Xiaosu estimated that they could make more than 400,000 troops...
But what is the use of this army?
Ren Xiaosu asked: "How many people are there in the regular army?"
"Approximately 90,000," Zhang Xiaoman said: "But this is the intelligence of last year."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. He suddenly felt that this was not so difficult to fight, although the 178 fortress had only 75,000 regular troops on the battlefield.
However, how do you feel that the 178 fortress is not so strong, is this an illusion?
Ren Xiaosu feels that this is a weird thing. If the 178 Fortress has only these combat powers, of course, it can stand in the northwest, but it is definitely not enough to make a real consortium awe.
Also, before Luo Hao wanted to kill Zhang Jinglin, he could not agree.
Is Qingqing to let Zhang Jinglin return to the northwest to contain Zongshi, or is it to let Zhang Jinglin continue to guard the inland humans, so that humans will not encounter foreign wars again?
It is also possible that both have it. Ren Xiaosu always feels that the celebration in his impression is not a fanatic who only knows war.
