Four Hundred, the Arrival of Street Fighting

The generals who commanded the various combat orders in the camp passed on the joint protest letter. The content of the letter probably explained that in the battle to capture Dingyuan Mountain, Ren Xiaosu climbed up the back mountain with his bare hands to carry out a surprise attack on the bandits, and made great contributions. So everyone is ashamed of receiving third-class merit.

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

While reading the protest letter, Zhou Yinglong secretly looked at Zhang Jinglin's face, but he found that Zhang Jinglin didn't seem unhappy, so he probed in a low voice: "I didn't expect these bastards to come here to blame the commander. It's unfair. Punish them?"

Zhang Jinglin smiled: "Is it possible that I don't know what's going on in your heart? That's fine, don't test me, I won't be angry."

"That's good," Zhou Yinglong said with a chuckle, "You should still be generous, Commander."

At this time, the brigade commander of the combat brigade suddenly asked suspiciously: "Zhou Yinglong's sharp knife company is famous for its hob meat. This Ren Xiaosu has just joined the sharp knife company for a few days, so he has such a cohesive force?"

Zhang Jinglin said: "Okay, this matter will not be discussed anymore, and the award ceremony tonight will also be cancelled. Zhou Yinglong, go back and tell Jiandao that the reason why Ren Xiaosu's name is not included in the third-class merit is because I plan to give him second-class merit." Yes. However, Ren Xiaosu fabricated the battle report, and this second-class merit was also cancelled. Now we will start discussing the next battle plan."

Zhou Yinglong, who was sitting at the end, suddenly had a toothache. It was still the commander's routine, and he didn't give anything in the end. As a result, the generals in each battle sequence knew that Ren Xiaosu had gained a firm foothold in the Sharp Knife Company. popular.

In the past, the generals would discuss that perhaps it was purely a coincidence that Zhang Jinglin put Ren Xiaosu in the sharp knife company, and he did not intend to choose Ren Xiaosu as his successor.

But looking at Commander Zhang's operation now, it's clearly paving the way for Ren Xiaosu, right?

Of course, you need to be strong to forge the iron. If Ren Xiaosu is a weak stubble, Zhang Jinglin may not be able to lift it even if he wants to.

But Ren Xiaosu is not a weak stubble.

Zhou Yinglong was a little puzzled, why did it seem like Commander Zhang had great confidence in Ren Xiaosu?

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

Probably this is Zhang Jinglin's purpose.

...

Before Zhang Xiaoman and other non-commissioned officers returned to their camp, someone from the cadre department had already come to notify them outside.

The awarding ceremony at night was cancelled, Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled: "Why was it cancelled?"

Only non-commissioned officers went to deliver protest letters, and none of the soldiers went.

The sharp knife next to Ren Xiaosu didn't even speak to the soldiers, but the personnel from the cadre department said: "The non-commissioned officer of your company went to the commander to protest that you were not given third-class merit. He felt that it was unfair to you. The commander will pursue you for fabricating the battle report. They also canceled their third-class merit."

Until then, Zhang Xiaoman and others appeared in the camp. Ren Xiaosu frowned and looked at Zhang Xiaoman: "Why bother, I said I don't need military achievements."

"You don't need to be your business," Zhang Xiaoman said carelessly: "But our brothers in the Sharp Knife Company can't stand this kind of unfair thing. Our Sharp Knife Company, we all prosper, and we all lose!"

Ren Xiaosu didn't speak for a long time, but the comrade in the cadre department next to him curled his lips and said, "Ren Xiaosu was originally a second-class meritorious service, but now it's cancelled."

"Cancel..." Zhang Xiaoman's smile gradually disappeared: "What the hell are you talking about?"

The comrades in the cadre department cast a glance at Zhang Xiaoman: "We have already prepared the document for Ren Xiaosu's second-class merit, and now it is cancelled."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu, then at the cadre's department, and immediately covered his face, not knowing what to say.

The comrades in the cadre department were overjoyed: "Okay, don't be too anxious to get frustrated. The headquarters has explained that this time the third-class merit will be deducted from you, and it will be counted together with you when you perform more meritorious service."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoman raised his head suddenly.

The comrades in the cadre department said: "But the whole group army knows that you are now the heroes who won the first battle, and what should be given to you is indispensable. Moreover, the commander allows you to keep all the spoils of Dingyuan Mountain."

Zhang Xiaoman was overjoyed immediately, things like spoils of war had always been handed over to the Military Supplies Department for unified deployment, and when there was another war, the Sharp Knife Company returned to the pre-liberation overnight.

Now that the commander has allowed them to keep those trophies, they might be the company with the most ammunition in the entire army now.

After the people from the cadre department left, Ren Xiaosu thanked Zhang Xiaoman and the others seriously: "I will keep everyone's thoughts 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 guys from the Northwest, and for some reason suddenly looked forward to continuing to fight side by side with them.

At this moment, Zhou Yinglong came over with strides: "I will settle the accounts with you when you come back from the war, and now you have all of them. Pack your bags and go to Shichuan Town. Within seven days, what Chuanzhen, take it down for me!"

Shichuan Town is about 70 kilometers away from the advance base, in the northeast direction of the advance base.

No one lived there, it was just a ruin left by a small city before the catastrophe, but now it has become the southernmost defensive support point of the Zong Clan.

Fort 178 urgently wanted to take down Shichuan Town because it was too close to the advance base to prevent the Zong family from setting up ultra-long-range artillery there and bringing the advance base into the attack range.

The security of the advanced base is now one of the most important things at the beginning of the war, and the immediate priority of the Vanguard Battalion is to protect the security of the advanced base.

Zhang Xiaoman took out the map and looked at it: "It is said that there are many buildings in Shichuan Town that are still preserved, which are very suitable for erecting heavy machine guns, and there are also Zong's newly built fortifications and bunkers inside. This street battle is not very easy to fight. .”

Street fighting, also known as urban warfare, usually involves hand-to-hand combat, or even close combat, where the enemy and the enemy are intermingled and intertwined, which is extremely dangerous.

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

You don't know which dark window will suddenly protrude a muzzle, and then start harvesting life.

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

"No." Zhang Xiaoman shook his head: "The function of the advance base has not been perfected yet, and the armored brigade cannot rush into the deep route."

For a while, even the sharp knives and even these gangsters who are not afraid of death have a cloud of sadness in their hearts.

Only Ren Xiaosu still acted like a normal person, as if he didn't care about the street fighting at all.
