Chapter 271: 271, Hero Battalion heals the wounded and rescues the dying!

Ren Xiaosu's ammunition was consumed quickly, mainly because they had not fought much before—only once against the Qingshi special forces, and even then they had been in a daze. They didn't even know how they had won in the first place; the post-battle summary was that the company commander was wise and brave, deceiving the enemy into surrendering. Now, when fighting again, the enemy was a fully equipped infantry regiment of 1500, while they had only 500. Except for Ren Xiaosu, no one knew that the infantry regiment was actually sent by Qing Zhen as cannon fodder, so everyone was bound to be a bit panicked. When panicked, their hands trembled, and bullets were fired as if they cost nothing, gripping the triggers without letting go. The people on other positions only heard the gunfire from their position, rumbling like thunder, but had no idea what the battle was like here. Gradually, the infantry below was pressed so hard they couldn't even lift their heads, and the machine gun barrels were red-hot. Seeing this, Ren Xiaosu cursed, "Pissing on the gun barrel to cool it down? How stupid!" The soldier next to the machine gun, responsible for delivering bullets, quickly pulled down his pants and urinated on it, but the machine gunner cursed, "You pissed on my face, damn it!" It was this group of flustered amateurs, with Qing's help, who managed to hold Li's high ground... Many people underestimate the power of machine guns, thinking it's just a gun, how could it be as powerful as artillery? But war has never been about numbers; in positional warfare, the power of machine guns is even greater than imagined. In human warfare history, there was once a machine gun that killed 3200 people in a day! As the infantry regiment was being decimated, Ren Xiaosu finally had time to use binoculars to observe other positions. But when he looked, he was shocked to see that Qing's soldiers had already broken out, climbing other high grounds under artillery cover, while Li's entire 313 position was blasted to pieces, and the high grounds with heavy firepower were forcefully breached by Qing—this was an outcome no one had anticipated before the war. The ground of the rear camp was no longer flat, and it seemed to have been heavily bombed. However, Qing didn't seem to plan to take the entire 313 position in one go. The tactically savvy Qing Zhen knew that after capturing 313, they would face Li's furious counterattack. In a war, it's highly possible for a high ground to change hands a hundred times. When the war ends, the slopes of the high ground are stained red with blood, the blood seeping into the earth, and stepping on it would cause one to slip. Therefore, capturing a high ground doesn't mean the war will end. As soon as Qing occupied a high ground, they were met with Li's intense artillery fire, and the Qing soldiers who rushed up fell down in large numbers. War is cruel; it doesn't care if you have parents to support or if your son is waiting for you at home. All its actions are directed toward the final victory. Ren Xiaosu, holding binoculars, observed the rear; his focus was only on those three mysterious military tents, in other words, he only cared about the movements of the nanowarriors. When he had given the defensive map earlier, it wasn't particularly complete, as Ren Xiaosu hadn't had the chance to walk through the entire 313 position, so he could only draw what he saw. However, he had specially marked the nanowarriors' camp and instructed Tang Zhou to ensure the artillery covered that area. Of course, without laser guidance or precise map surveying, accurate strikes on the rear were not realistic, but Qing Zhen still followed their agreement, spending a greater cost to cover those three tents. Ren Xiaosu saw that the three tents no longer existed, with a pile of corpses and fresh blood on the ground. Seeing this, he felt energized. Suddenly, the palace spoke in his mind: "Mission: Rescue 100 wounded! Earn 5 distribution points!" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment; he hadn't thought of an excuse to go back to the rear of the position, but the palace immediately found a reason for him. He glanced at the few remaining infantry below and shouted to Chen Wudi, "Wudi, follow me back to the position to save people; there are many wounded there!" As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu selected an operational squad to go with him, and Jiang Wu's students were in that squad. Chen Wudi's eyes lit up, "Yes, Master!" As they spoke, the two rushed back. Li Qingzheng was almost scared out of his wits, "Company Commander, don't go! What will we do without you!" "It's okay, you just watch the position; the remaining infantry won't cause much trouble!" Ren Xiaosu shouted without looking back. Li Qingzheng was stunned for a moment; he had originally thought it would be very difficult here, but now they had the energy to go back and save the wounded. Before this, everyone in the entire 313 position thought Ren Xiaosu and his group were doomed. As a result, some units had already been wiped out, while the Heroic Camp had only over a hundred dead and wounded. Although this casualty rate was one-fifth of the total, with bullets and artillery flying on the battlefield, having so few casualties could already be blown into a miracle! With a hundred casualties, annihilating the enemy's 1500-strong infantry regiment—this would scare the Li generals in the rear if spoken aloud! Of course, total annihilation is an exaggeration, but Ren Xiaosu would definitely brag about it. Ren Xiaosu led Chen Wudi and the others rushing to the rear of the position, where the position was already in chaos, the command tent had been overturned, and Ma Kai had no idea where he had run off to. Medical personnel were everywhere saving people, but with so many casualties, how could they possibly save everyone? But Ren Xiaosu's objective was clear; he rushed in and led Chen Wudi and the others to the position where the nanowarriors had been, shouting, "Wudi, take them to carry the wounded and save them!" At this time, Ren Xiaosu was already searching for the dead nanowarriors, with smoke filling the air, sometimes even unable to see where people were. However, Ren Xiaosu had a good sense of direction; he quickly found the location of the three tents. Whenever he encountered a nanowarrior, he immediately had the palace unlock and refresh, completing the process and quickly storing the nanobots in his own space. The human body has a limit on how many nanobots it can carry, and this time Ren Xiaosu had harvested so many that he couldn't hide them all on his body, so he had to put them in the storage space. The wounded lay on the ground wailing, and some tried to grab Ren Xiaosu as he passed by, but he didn't even glance at them. The wounded were stunned; weren't you here to save them? Wait, the wounded recognized Ren Xiaosu: "Ren Xiaosu! It's you, Ren Xiaosu! Come save me!" At this time, Ren Xiaosu had collected a circle of nanobots and was still not satisfied, when he heard the cry for help and was stunned, "Huh, isn't that Lin Qi lying there!" He laughed cheerfully, "Sorry, I didn't see you earlier, how are you wounded?" Lin Qi struggled to say, "This isn't the time to catch up, you..." Before he could finish, Ren Xiaosu picked up a shell fragment from the ground and stabbed it into his neck. Lin Qi looked up at Ren Xiaosu and found only endless cold in his eyes. Ren Xiaosu sighed, "It's a pity the wolf pack didn't kill you last time, thinking about it, it's a bit of a shame." Lin Qi's eyes widened, but he couldn't make a sound. It turned out that the wolf pack was also related to Ren Xiaosu? And he had already fully understood that Ren Xiaosu was much more capable than he had guessed from the start. This was Lin Qi's last bit of consciousness before falling into endless darkness.
