Chapter 918 - People Do Change (1/2)
Actually, P5092, who was far away at the command post on Mt. Zuoyun, was not particularly worried when he received news that the Iron First Company had been ambushed. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
That was because as long as he guessed correctly, Ren Xiaosu would definitely score a brilliant victory in this battle with his combat prowess.
This time, P5092 wanted to prove his worth to everyone.
Ji Zi'ang had proven that not only could he fight battles, but he was also able to quickly set up a defensive position in the middle of a war.
This power to quickly alter the terrain might be a little useless in individual combat as it did not have as much lethality compared to other people's superpowers, but P5092 knew best what it meant to have someone who could change the environment in a war.
Meanwhile, Wang Yun's quick analysis ability and comprehensive data organization skills made him as good as a human search engine. On top of that, he was even good at catching clues.
As for Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, it was unnecessary to talk about how strong their combat prowess was.
On the contrary, it was P5092 who had not displayed any outstanding abilities yet. Although he had done a good job at reorganizing the troops and planning the defensive position, many other veteran commanders could do the same.
These were just the basics that any commander should possess if they wanted to become great military leaders.
Therefore, when P5092 got to work alongside these great colleagues, he felt he should quickly make known his value so he would be worthy of these teammates.
This was a very strange feeling. In the past, P5092 always felt he could not work to the best of his abilities when he was with the Pyro Company. In the tactics he devised, he had to lower a lot of expectations for his officers and soldiers so they could keep up with his rhythm.
This was as good as breaking his arm before getting into a fight. He needed to deliberately lower his standards in order to achieve victory.
Of course, his priority was to secure the final victory, but he could clearly have won those battles more brilliantly.
For example, back at the forward operating base at the rear of Mt. Dashi, he had used the Qinghe University students as bait and left behind a group of special forces led by a T5 combatant.
But a lot of people still died in that battle, and their supplies were also destroyed by the barbarians.
If there were experts like Ren Xiaosu, Wang Yun, and Ji Zi'ang in that plan from the start, how could the supplies possibly get destroyed?
Therefore, P5092 always felt a sense of helplessness when he was with the Pyro Company.
But it was different now. He suddenly felt that everyone here was equally competent. P5092 no longer had to worry if his colleagues were good enough. He only needed to make sure he performed well himself!
What a fantastic feeling this was! He did not want his colleagues to think he was not good enough for the team. As such, before Ren Xiaosu left today, he specifically reminded him that the expeditionary army might set an ambush for them. If that really happened, he would have to make sure they lured the barbarians into the mountains and killed as many of them as possible with the TNT.
Right now, Ren Xiaosu should be on the battlefield taking out the remaining barbarians just as he always did in the past.
Speaking of which, it was also quite strange. Even without heading to the front lines, he would still continue being the future commander of the Northwest. So why did Ren Xiaosu always like going to the front lines?
Just like the chess game Ren Xiaosu played with Jiang Xu previously, Jiang Xu said he had never seen anyone move the general as their first move before.
At that time, Ren Xiaosu replied that since the general was the definite strongest, why should it keep hiding behind the others? Of course it would have to rush to the front lines to fight.
On this current chessboard, the future commander's general was indeed charging around on the battlefield and slaughtering like what Ren Xiaosu had said.
