386 Swiftly taking Mt. Dingyuan (1/2)
Zhou Yinglong looked at Ren Xiaosu. He took a deep breath and asked, ”Why did they start fighting?”
Ren Xiaosu blinked. ”I dunno, maybe they had some disagreements. Battalion Commander, aren't you going to stop them? Didn't you say that the Razor Sharp Company would be heading out to Mt. Dingyuan?”
Zhou Yinglong was stunned for a couple seconds before he stopped caring about Ren Xiaosu. He ran to where the fight had broken out. ”Everyone, stop fighting. Razor Sharp Company, I want all of you to return to your barracks and assemble within ten minutes. Since you're all so energetic, I don't think you need another day's rest, right? You can head straight for Mt. Dingyuan in that case!”
Zhou Yinglong's words still held a lot of weight in the Forward Strike Battalion. It seemed that the two companies were also very used to this. Even though they were fighting, the two sides immediately stopped once Zhou Yinglong stepped in.
The Razor Sharp Company turned around and ran back to their own barracks.
Military orders were not to be taken lightly. If they were asked to assemble in ten minutes, they would have to do it within ten minutes and not a second later.
Before they left, the members of the Razor Sharp Company saw Ren Xiaosu standing next to Zhou Yinglong unscathed. When they thought about what had just happened, they nearly vomited blood.
It wasn't until this moment that the Second Company soldier who was beaten up at the beginning started slowly getting up off the ground. When he saw Ren Xiaosu, he shouted, ”He was the one who hit me just now, and he even yelled 'the Razor Sharp Company is invincible' at me!”
Ren Xiaosu said in seriousness, ”You've got the wrong person.”
Zhou Yinglong raised his eyebrows and told Ren Xiaosu, ”I want you to assemble with everyone as well.”
Ren Xiaosu replied, ”Yes, sir!” Then he ran towards the Razor Sharp Company's barracks.
When he entered the Razor Sharp Company's camp, the Razor Sharp Company was already standing in a block formation with their field packs on their backs. Ren Xiaosu said, ”Recruit Ren Xiaosu reporting in.”
The 180-odd men from the Razor Sharp Company looked at Ren Xiaosu speechlessly. The company commander was so angry he smiled. ”Good on ya, Ren Xiaosu. You're the only one in Fortress 178 who's capable of making our Razor Sharp Company look like dumbasses. Amazing!”
Ren Xiaosu said politely, ”But I'm also part of our Razor Sharp Company.”
The company commander barked, ”Get your ass in formation and fall in with 1st Platoon. I'll teach you a lesson after the war is over.”
The company commander looked at the Razor Sharp Company that had assembled in a block formation and was about to lecture them. However, the men standing before him all looked bruised and swollen, while their uniforms were also in tatters. One of the soldiers' noses was still even bleeding. However, he did not fidget or wipe the blood off as he was currently standing in formation.
When the company commander was greeted by this sight, his heart shattered. What the fuck did they do to deserve this!
Zhou Yinglong walked over while humming a little ditty. The company commander said to him, ”Reporting in, Battalion Commander, Razor Sharp Company has assembled. Total strength, 184. Present strength, 184. End of report, sir!
Zhou Yinglong nodded as he looked at the Razor Sharp Company in the block formation. He snapped, ”Look at the state you're in! You've got 60 more men than Second Company, but why does it seem like you're all useless?! Didn't y'all do really good during the exercise, and you even captured our command center too? Where's that arrogance now, eh?”
As he spoke, Zhou Yinglong stood in front of the Razor Sharp Company and started laughing…
Ren Xiaosu stood in formation and thought to himself, 'Just by looking at the way Zhou Yinglong leads his soldiers, he's probably not an ordinary person either.'
Zhou Yinglong continued, ”We also don't have enough uniforms to go around at our fortress, so I wonder if y'all will be mocked when you step on the battlefield wearing your current attire? Zhang Xiaoman, I hope you haven't forgotten that you've pledged to take Mt. Dingyuan within half a month. Alright, time for y'all to set off.”
The Razor Sharp Company's commander stood at attention and yelled, ”Battalion Commander, don't worry! If we don't take Mt. Dingyuan within half a month, I'll commit suicide.”
