The war began the moment the sharp knife company captured Guanshan. There was no formal declaration of war. The first gunshot was the horn of the war.

The attack on Shichuan Town was just a small episode for the entire war. The two companies and the three companies went to Shichuan Town with the Sharp Knife Company, which was not a place where the Sharp Knife Company could fight independently.

From then on, they will face the regular army of the Zong family. These regular army have received systematic military training and fought countless targets, but they have not really been on the battlefield.

It is completely different from the bandits I faced before.

According to Zhang Xiaoman, the military skills of these regular Zong soldiers are not much worse than those of the 178 Fortress. The only difference is experience and ability to adapt to the battlefield.

and what is included in desensitization training.

Some new recruits from Zong family will vomit, feel nauseous, fear, and fear when they see the intestines and broken legs, but the veterans of the 178 Fortress will not.

In the advance base, Zhou Yinglong asked the orderly soldiers to hand out a piece of paper and a pen to everyone in the Sharp Knife Company.

"What is this for?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zhang Xiaoman looked up at him and said, "Write a suicide note."

"Suicide letter?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, it is said that you can write down what you want to say. If you can't come back, the Affairs Department will help you send the letter to your family to explain the funeral. If you come back, you can go to the Affairs Department to leave the letter," Zhang Xiaoman explained: "We all call this thing suicide note."

"That's so unlucky," Ren Xiaosu said hilariously.

"There is nothing unlucky," Zhang Xiaoman shook his head: "Those who go to the battlefield should be indifferent to life and death. In fact, we didn't understand it at the beginning, but we fought against the enemies outside the 178 Fortress so many times, and wrote several suicide notes, so we had already become numb."

"Then who are you writing to," Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

"Write it to my parents," Zhang Xiaoman said: "and my wife."

"Are you married?"

"Look at what you said, I'm almost thirty years old," Zhang Xiaoman laughed happily, "Can't you ask for a wife yet?"

Ren Xiaosu was a little embarrassed. He didn't have this concept in his mind, so he thought everyone was just as single as him.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoman has become a company commander and is not very young anymore.

"What does it feel like to get married?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

"It's okay, you'll have a hot meal when you get home," Zhang Xiaoman said while writing.

"Are you happy?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zhang Xiaoman raised his head happily: "You kid is Sichun, why are you so interested in this matter? Let me tell you this. I only have a happy marriage life for one year."

"That feels pretty good," Ren Xiaosu said.

Jiao Xiaochen next to him laughed and said, "You don't understand, he has been married for ten years."

Ren Xiaosu: "..."

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked, "Don't you write a letter?"

Ren Xiaosu paused for a while: "I don't know who to write it for."

All the soldiers in the Sharp Knife Company suddenly fell silent. They realized that this might be the reason why Ren Xiaosu fought so hard to fight Zong.

After leaving the forward base, they can only walk forward. In the combat plan, they will arrive at the periphery of Shichuan Town on the third day, but from the moment they leave the forward base, they must be on guard, so as not to ambush the Zong army in advance on the periphery of Shichuan Town.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked: "Shichuan Town is on the plain. Although there are woods on the outside, it is difficult for us to break through and enter Shichuan Town."

Zhang Xiaoman held the automatic rifle in his hand and explained: "First use a mortar to hit the fire. The three-kilometer range is enough to make us break a gap outside the enemy's heavy machine gun range. Only then can we be qualified to enter street fighting."

"Is there any secret?" Ren Xiaosu was skeptical.

"If it really doesn't work, let the artillery troops in the rear use large caliber howitzers," said Zhang Xiaoman: "There is always a way."

On the night of the second day of the marching, suddenly the sound of guns and cannons came from both wings, and the sound of heavy machine guns could be heard from the sharp knife even from a distance.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "The second and third companies have encountered each other, so let's be careful!"

Everyone expected that the Zong family would start setting up an ambush outside Shichuan Town, so it was not a surprise. I believe that the Second Company and Third Company were also prepared.

Gunshots suddenly came from ahead, but the gunshots were still far away.

Zhang Xiaoman and the others subconsciously hid behind the tree beside the road, but no bullets came.

"Strange, who was the shot?" Zhang Xiaoman said in confusion: "Continue moving forward!"

But the sharp knife continued to move forward for hundreds of meters, but still did not reach the enemy I imagined, and did not even hear any gunshots.

"What's wrong," Zhang Xiaoman frowned and said, "We are walking on the main road. Is it because of Zong's old suspicion array? Fu Rao, Lin Ping'an, you two go ahead and explore!"

It’s not that Zhang Xiaoman likes to call Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an when he is in danger. There must be a vanguard in this company. When it is in danger, the vanguards themselves have to vanguards first. This is a different division of labor.

Fu Rao and Lin Ping'an bent down along the woods and touched them forward. But before they could walk far, they saw the two of them turn back: "Company Commander, it's not right. The people who ambushed us were killed and all of them were wiped off their necks!"

"There is only one combat team on this machine gun position, thirty people, all of whom died just now, and blood is still flowing," Lin Ping'an added.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu suspiciously: "What did you do?"

"No," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "Aren't I standing here?"

"Yes," the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company were also a little confused: "Who helped us shoot this machine gun position? And we should use a knife to wipe the neck. This must be done by extraordinary people, right?"

Everyone was confused. A mysterious extraordinary man suddenly appeared on the battlefield to do good deeds?

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife are not fools. This matter is clearly like Ren Xiaosu did it, but they have no evidence...

To be honest, you don’t know what kind of ability it is to re-elect Xiaosu now.

Zhang Xiaoman tests Ren Xiaosu again: "Isn't it really you?"

"It's really not me," Ren Xiaosu said innocently.

Zhang Xiaoman came to the machine gun position. He found a body and touched the other party's tiger's mouth: "There are no thick cocoons, not trained soldiers, they should be temporary teams of refugees, or private troops."

"It's all about cannon fodder," Jiao Xiaochen said: "It seems that Zong wants to use cannon fodder to consume us first."

"As expected," Zhang Xiaoman said: "There are not few enemies in Shichuan Town, and there are conservatively thousands of people. However, the good news is that most of the enemies we encounter now should be very weak and the shooting range is not well controlled."
