Chapter 14: Victory (First Update)

  He had just finished thinking, and he heard the sound of gunfire again. He could only continue to retreat! The 3rd Regiment's two battalions plus a guard company, with more than 700 people, were defeated by the Engineer Battalion's over 150 people, with more than 200 people killed, and only Zheng Ping and more than 50 people escaped with their lives!

  This is a great victory, and it's also the first battle of the Engineer Battalion. It's a good start, using three companies' soldiers to capture the flag. This outcome was not anticipated by many engineer battalion warriors.

  The three battalions, plus a guard company, with five times the strength of an engineer battalion, were defeated and nearly annihilated! Huang Mingyang, Liu Chun, Jia Cheng, Hao Junsheng, and Hong Fu (the fourth platoon leader) all looked at Mao Feng with admiration.

  They are now thoroughly convinced and thoroughly supportive of this young man Mao Feng. In fact, this is also the thoughts of other workers and soldiers in the combat team, it can be said that Mao Feng's one battle has determined everything.

  Looking at the captives, Mao Feng gave orders to Liu Chun: "These are all soldiers. If there's no problem, then they'll all stay and become my soldiers! You hurry up and arrange it!"

  "Yes! Boss!"

  Seeing Liu Chun off, he also couldn't hold back his own joyful mood, and he raised his head and shouted loudly: "We won!"

  As the sentence gradually fell, until there was no echo of sound, at this time it seemed extremely quiet, but then came an even greater response: "We won! We won!"

  This time it was the cheers of all the soldiers in the engineering company, their faces radiating joy and excitement! At this moment, they also had a more soldierly demeanor, having at least received some initial training after this battle.

  Maofeng saw everything with his own eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to this point because he knew that the current era was a chaotic one, and what chaotic eras lacked the least were battles! The troops had already taken their first step, which was also the most crucial step.

  Maofeng looked at his subordinates, and in his heart he silently vowed: "I also have an army now, this is my army! I will rely on them to live well in this world, no longer wasting my youth! I can't be like myself in the previous life again! To live, you must live with dignity! I want to be a general, a marshal!"

  The outcome of the battle was naturally impossible to conceal, so Mao Feng also reported to Lin Hu in the first time. Unfortunately, Lin Hu was not there, he went to the third division, after knowing this situation, Mao Feng did not hesitate to call the third division directly.

  Lin Hu is now staring at the officers of the Third Division, who are also his nominal subordinates. Lin Hu sees that they are all exchanging sly glances with each other, speaking in hushed tones and avoiding eye contact! Lin Hu knows exactly what they're thinking! They're just waiting for the outcome of the Third Battalion's battle!

  Lin Hu's heart was coldly laughing, he had already begun to deploy, and he naturally understood the current situation like the back of his hand, having predicted it long ago! He said without any emotion: "This is disobeying military orders?"

  Lin Hu's reputation and influence had reached the ears of these officers, they were naturally very clear about it. They also knew that although this person was on his own turf, his troops were also on Lin Hu's turf, and outside there must be Lin Hu's troops monitoring!

  Three regiments, each with only eighty percent of the troops and equipment, not to mention heavy weapons, and even lacking one rifle per soldier. Can such a regiment really resist Lin Hu's other two regiments?

  Third Master Liu Xu Guang, a native of Huizhou, Guangxi, was a fellow townsman of Chen Jiongming and several years younger than him. He looked like someone who had been drained by wine and women, but he was actually quite clever and could be called a little clever guy. He didn't have a mustache, which was the fashion at that time.

  He rubbed his clean chin and smiled, "Townsend, I dare not disobey military orders, but the situation is unclear at present. I have not received any news, and according to what I know now, Mao Feng's actions are lawless and disobedient to superiors, and he does not listen to Commander Zheng Ping's orders. I think there must be many misunderstandings here! I believe that Commander Zheng Ping also wants to clarify the situation and will not resort to force!"

  Lin Hupi smiled and said, "Oh? So did this town mishear the gunshot just now? Or is there something wrong with your ears?"

  Liu Xuguang immediately replied, "Governor, if it really comes to the point of armed conflict, I think Mao Feng is rebelling, and Commander Zheng Ping is naturally doing his duty for the sake of the entire army and also for your consideration!"

  Liu Xuguang didn't mention the military commander at all, but kept mentioning the title of garrison commander. Lin Hu heard this title for the second time and couldn't hold back his anger anymore. He slammed his hand on the table in front of him!

  "Bang!" A loud noise, the table shook violently! Lin Hu's voice immediately echoed in the department: "Liu Xu Guang, this is an order! Are you going to test the law with your own body?"

  Liu Xuguang was taken aback, his momentum suddenly seized by Lin Hu's explosive outburst, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, his self-proclaimed clever brain a complete blank.

  The three masters and the others were all influenced by Lin Hu, but they were much better than Liu Xuguang. After all, the main target was Liu Xuguang. They all looked at Liu Xuguang, waiting for their master's command.

  Several of them unconsciously reached for their holsters, but they quickly stopped because they saw the look on their commander's face at that moment. They all felt a wave of disappointment in their hearts and also made an evaluation of their commander: "Useless!"

  Lin Hu looked at them, and also saw some people's small movements, but he was proud and fearless. He had never taken these people seriously. From Liu Xuguang's body, he knew that he didn't have any danger coming here. What kind of person is what kind of soldier! Lin Hu was very clear about what kind of person Liu Xuguang was.

  Just then, the phone rang, and the crisp ringtone eased the tense atmosphere. The chief of staff of the Third Division answered the phone, and after a few words, he exclaimed loudly: "What? Are you kidding me?"

  He was shocked for a moment, and then he roared: "You are rebelling, you are cutting off your own path to life, you...!"

  But then he was stunned by the words from the receiver: "Is General Za here? I want to report to the commander!"

  He saw Lin Hu looking at him, the sharp gaze made all his words stuck in his throat, after a while, his mouth finally stiffly spat out one sentence: "You wait!"

  After finishing speaking, he put the microphone on the table and said to Lin Hu: "General, it's Mao Fengzhi's phone call!" He unknowingly also shouted out "General", and he himself was taken aback by his own words.

  He couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, seeing the fleeting hatred in Instructor Liu Xuguang's eyes. He knew that today he had truly jumped into a situation from which he could not extricate himself, and this was what made it impossible for his instructor to save face!

  Lin Hu picked up the microphone and said in a low voice: "Hello, it's me!"

  Looking at Lin Hu's face, although it was still calm, he couldn't wipe out the increasingly thick joyful color in his eyes. Chief of Staff Gong Pingshu had already known what was going on! In his heart, all he could do was sigh and sigh again.

  After hanging up the phone, Lin Hu reappeared in front of everyone. His eyes were already filled with a fierce and proud aura. With a hint of anger, he said: "You're all great, the Third Squadron is great! Not bad at all!"

  Those who didn't know the inside story were stunned. What's going on? This seems different from what we just found out! Did the third battalion win and capture Mao Feng alive? That doesn't seem right either! Otherwise, why would Mao Feng call over? Many people looked at Gong Pingxue, they all knew that Gong Pingxue was the only one who knew the inside story.

  But Gong Pingshu was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen anything, his eyes calm like water! However, they soon found out the answer.

  "Two battalions plus a guard company, great! Five times the strength of an engineer battalion, what was the result? Except for over 50 people who managed to escape, the others were either killed or captured! Great! These three regiments are really something! They're really adding glory to me, Lin! If they were all like the third regiment, wouldn't I, Lin, only need one regiment to capture you? Ridiculous!"

  A deafening thunderclap exploded right next to Liu Xuguang's ears, leaving him dazed and disoriented. How was this possible? This was simply ridiculous! The entire engineering battalion had only that many people, how could they possibly...?

  But seeing Lin Hu's cannibalistic gaze, he couldn't help but believe it! Liu Xuguang cursed Zheng Ping as a waste in his heart for a moment. But this thought didn't last long.

  "Liu Xuguang, Liu Dashi Chang, you've brought good soldiers! Is this how you lead your troops? If they're all like the Third Battalion, a bunch of useless trash, what do I need you as a division commander for? What do I need any of you people for?! Hmph!" Lin Hu glared fiercely at the personnel of the First Division.

  Lin Hu's heart was laughing, this is truly nothing more enjoyable than this! It's really relieving, although he had already known the strength of San Shi's battle in his heart, solving San Shi was also an acceptable price to pay, but what could be better than this? Mao Feng is a personal talent, a great talent, must be valued and used greatly! Not bad, very good!

  Sweat beads finally appeared on Liu Xuguang's forehead, and in the cold winter, he was still sweating like this. It has to be said that Liu Xuguang's psychology is about to collapse.

  Lin Hu continued, "However, this is also good. The good reason is that Zheng Ping's tumor can finally be cut off! Who introduced him? Is Chen Du Jun using people like this? Or did he intentionally send some useless people to deal with me, Lin?"

  Lin Hu said to Liu Xu Guang: "If Commander Chen knew you were leading troops like this, what would he think of you? If Commander Chen encountered such a thing, how would he deal with you? Commander Liu, Liu Xu Guang! Can you still be the commander? Can you still survive?"

  Thank you for Cloud Hand's reward. At the same time, I would like to congratulate him on his promotion to Hall Master. Readers who like this book can rest assured to collect it!
