Moving forward! Only forward is the way out for the 55th Division. This is not just the arrogance that Takeuchi Kiyoshi firmly believes that he can succeed. In fact, he has no other choice.

Not to mention fighting back, it will only make his entire division military deployment mess. The key main infantry is now deployed in front. Want to adjust? Just breaking the terrain is simply a delusion.

To a deeper level, Takeuchi Nishi knew exactly what would happen in Myitkyina. At that time, Britain and the United States transported a large number of ammunition and supplies, but now they have probably fallen into the hands of the Chinese and become convenient tools to attack them. When they go back, they will naturally not be able to get anything. They may have exhausted their supplies in the battle and starved to death to the jungle.

On the contrary, the Impal in front is the rear of the British army. The amount of supplies is unimaginable, and there are British troops there fighting fiercely. A small number of paratroopers cannot effectively control the situation, and it is easier to fight.

Another thing is that Takeuchi Hiroshi must never tell others, that once Impal is captured, he will stay there and not leave. He must take root and do his part to open up future territory in the Japanese Empire. He may not be able to exchange for some preferential conditions for Yingmi...

Of course this is a bit whimsical, but just Takeuchi Kuang's brain's weird idea is also a very normal thinking logic.

In short, he will not go back, only by continuing, firmly moving forward, killing the enemy and making meritorious service is the main business!

But if you want to get faster, can you get faster? That's too much to underestimate the terribleness of this primeval forest at the junction of India and Myanmar!

At noon, the sun was hanging high above the head. Without a trace of clouds, it unscrupulously swept the blazing light. The boundless green ocean was dotted. Looking down from the plane, there was a blurry feeling of facing billions of mirrors with low reflectivity, vast and boundless, showing a strange beauty.

But walking under the shade of the tree is a completely different feeling.

Takeuchi Kuang did not ride an American off-road vehicle that could make people fall apart, but rode his carefully cared for war horse, with his short legs spreading and clamping it on the saddle bridge. As the horse moved forward weakly, it shook and shaking.

Hot, stuffy, and it makes people irritated from the inside out as if they are about to tear open their chests, and they are roaring with anger!

It was clearly a jungle that was beyond the edge, and there was eye-catching green everywhere. Even the ground that had just stepped on the flattened ground could be covered with vine branches again overnight, but people still couldn't feel even a trace of anger.

The strange-shaped mountain tops stretched out on both sides. I don’t know how far they were. In each hillside, the trees growing everywhere were covered with vines. It was impossible to tell how many of the poisonous snakes were disguised. They suddenly hung down. They crawled into the collar of a person, or bite hard on the exposed face, and died black without waiting for the military doctor to arrive.

The lower half of the tall trees is mottled and seems to be unable to be moistened by water vapor all year round. The skin is cracked, like hideous ghost faces. It emits an indescribable strange smell. Combined with the various vines wrapped around it, it witheres and flourishes, as if in the blink of an eye, it is a rapid birth and death of life and death, which in no way gives people a sense of dead silence from the heart.

The boundless trees and boundless grasses could not raise any wind that blocked the air, and the oxygen seemed to be swallowed up by the vigorous and excessive grasses. Even the Japanese soldiers as strong as mules felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and had to open their mouths and breathe hard! The guns resisting on their shoulders were as heavy as a hill, pressing their backbone to bend and break.

Takeuchi Kuang didn't understand. According to the meteorological personnel's measurement, the external temperature was only 24 or 5 degrees, which was the most comfortable temperature that the human body liked the most, but why did it feel so stuffy?

The environment here is so bad that it is even worse than in northern Myanmar. In just two days, hundreds of soldiers fell ill for unknown reasons. What can be found are dysentery, malaria, poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, and unknown miasma. These are still visible. After the hard help of military doctors, these people are still struggling on the brink of death.

But the inexplicable line was lined up on the road ahead. It was a bottomless pit when you stepped on a lawn. Or a large area of ​​thatch was covered by the next door, but it was not bottomed out. The abyss filled with thick fog. The plain ground with vigorous vegetation was simply a swamp that devoured countless lives. The dry vines were thousands of poisonous snakes, and there were also leeches lurking on the back of wet leaves. They could jump. They could be one foot long when they sucked blood, and the radish was as thick as they were. The venom sprayed made people sucked dry and fell down... It was simply too strange!

This is the familiar path that the British and the Myanmar horse gangs have walked for many years! They are so dangerous. So, what about the other mountains and forests? What about the dense forests that stretch for hundreds of miles, seem to be forever shrouded in the thick and sticky smoke? Even if a large army passes by, sometimes shooting, they still don’t know whether they are afraid or where they hide, and make all kinds of strange screams?

A straight line of only 300 kilometers is at least five or six hundred or more. Apart from the Myitkyina section, there are more and more such terrible terrains along the way.

For many sections of the road, from Takeuchi Kuan's experience, as long as there is a heavy rain, it will immediately cause mudslides or mountain torrents, which can swallow the people walking below without leaving any bones. Fortunately, it is the dry season now...

Lieutenant General Takeuchi took out his handkerchief, opened the collar, and wiped the oily sweat stains around his completely wet neck. He looked up at the green curtain that was covered tightly, and squirted a heavy breath, and asked hoarsely: "How far is it to get out of this forest?"

Colonel Katowara Nosuke, who was one horse behind him, replied: "There are at least five kilometers. According to the exploration of the front troops, there is a relatively open valley, and a river comes out of the mountains. We can rest and replenish water properly."

Takeuchi Kura nodded and reminded: "Be careful! The environment here is too dangerous! Please be careful with all parts and don't be careless!"

"learn!"

Kato Qiansheng's promise was confirmed after repeating it again and then quickly conveyed it. Well, this is Lieutenant General Takeuchi's personal style and preferences. He likes to see the people below who are serious and rigid in accordance with the rules.

Five kilometers away, you have to turn over a dozen hills. In the rugged valleys, you can often only walk two people side by side, or you can barely let a car or a horse full of things walk over. From time to time, hidden cliffs appear. It is a pit that can kill people by slid. It is absolutely impossible to walk faster.

Within a few minutes, a sudden neigh of a war horse in front of him, followed by a few terrifying calls.

Takeuchi Hiro slapped his saddle irritably and shouted, "Bastard, what happened again? Don't make noise during the march. Do I need to teach you this?!"

A major ran back sweating profusely and reported: "Lieutenant General! It's a pack horse. I don't know when I was bitten by a poisonous snake. I suddenly went crazy and kicked three soldiers!"

"It's another poisonous snake!" Takeuchi Kura frowned helplessly. The things here are really weird. According to common sense, poisonous snakes are hiding from people and will not bite people unless they are threatened and attacked. But they seem to have been hungry for hundreds of years. When they smell the smell of blood, they pounce up regardless of their risk.

Before he could think of his words, how could he scold the soldiers for maintaining good combat manners under the most difficult conditions? Suddenly, the war horse under him bent his legs and knelt down. He almost threw him into the grass next to him. The people next to him dragged him out with all his might. The division commander, who was in chaos, could no longer help him. He screamed and pulled out his battle knife and rushed over to kill the war horse that he had care about for a few minutes before, but found that the beast that had been hunched for several years had foamed at his mouth, and was swaying his belt--it was almost helpless.

Someone squatted down and checked carefully, stood up and shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, your war horse is no longer good. You probably got infected with the epidemic a few days ago, and then traveled in such a bad environment, and finally couldn't resist it."

"Baga! Damn it!"

Takeuchi Hiroshi didn't know who to get angry with. In fact, when he entered Burma to fight, locals and British people reminded him many times not to expect to use war horses here, as they could not withstand the harsh environment. The best thing is a short, clown donkey or mule, and of course, a short, Dian horse can also be used to it. After all, their ancestors all survived in similar environments and had long been used to it.

However, the commander of Takeuchi Hiroshi, who cares most about appearance, believed that his dignified lieutenant general was too unimportant to ride a Dian horse or mule that was not much bigger than a donkey, and he was determined to refuse. He brought all the Eastern war horses bred from Japan without any compromise. As a result, many people died along the way! On the contrary, those annoying donkeys and mules were jumping around, able to eat and sleep.

What to do? His beloved war horse was dead, he couldn't walk on both legs, right? In desperation, Takeuchi Kura still chose the damn jeep off-road vehicles produced by the damned American contractors, and endured the bumpyness of his butt being about to crack and moved forward slowly.

Half an hour later, he finally drove into the so-called open land.

Looking around, it is indeed sandwiched between dense and steep mountains. It is a rare river beach and valley less than one kilometer wide. A river water winding out of the valley covered with thick fog and covered with branches slowly flows through the road ahead. There are dense grasses of more than one person tall. Large mosquitoes fly up from time to time, covering the sky and the sun, landing on people. The mouthpiece that is more than an inch long and pierces it into a bag that is big on your finger!

No matter how you look at Takeuchi Kuan, these mosquitoes can be compared with grasshoppers! If you fall on your body, you will not be able to suck people dry!

Especially this thing is also contagious about malaria, and it is accurate when you pierce it, which is extremely annoying!

A local guide led people to collect mugwort from the hillside and ignited them in piles and smoked them around, which was a little safer. Takeuchi Kuan pulled open the collar and took a deep breath of fresh air. Then he noticed that the soldiers who seemed to have arrived first did not go to the river to get water, but each held precious glass bottles or military water bottles to moisturize them in their small mouths.

After asking, I found out that the guide said that these rivers are poisonous and cannot be drunk.

Takeuchi Kuang immediately became furious and scolded: "Baga! Nonsense! What can I drink from the living water flowing in the mountains?! This guide must be a spy. Don't he know how precious the water we carry is? The hard battle is still behind! Have you been corrupted and degenerated by the luxurious life of the English ghost animals?!"

The big-headed soldiers had long had enough of his style of posing airs and scolding at any time, but they did not dare to speak back. They could only pretend not to hear it. Chief of Staff Kato was more spiritual. After learning about it personally, he came back to explain: "Your Excellency, the guide's words should make some sense. The valleys where these strange rivers pass by cannot see the sunshine for many years. After millions of years of rotten fallen leaves and poisonous snake creatures accumulate and ferment, various strange toxins that we can't understand will be produced. Over time, countless poisons have been accumulated and outside the river. There are no fish or frogs growing inside."

"Na Ni? Is there such a thing?"

Takeuchi Kuan is not calm. They grew up in Japan and never knew that there were such strange things in the tropical areas. Of course, it is difficult for a volcanic island as big as Japan to find someone to go to. There are not many mountains like the Asian continent that have not seen people for millions of years.

"Hmph! After we occupy Asia in the future, we must open all these primitive places into fertile fields and turn them into green mountains and clear waters. How many descendants of the Yamato nation can be nurtured!"

Takeuchi Hiroshi once again made a bold statement, then looked at the mosquitoes rising and falling in the distance with disgust, and then looked at the thatch that was cut back from the river bank with its head covered and face. It was densely covered with colorful snails and clusters of leeches. It is conceivable that this thing can survive in the water.

He waved his hand irritably and asked someone to take it away. Takeuchi Kuang bit his back teeth and said viciously: "In such a dangerous place, don't leave it to cause trouble for the troops behind. Order the engineers to kill them all with burning bullets!"

"Ah?!Is this really OK?"

Chief of Staff Kato and other officers looked at each other. They felt that the order was inexplicable. They were all on the side, setting fires? Are you not afraid of burning your own people to death?

Takeuchi Kuang glared: "Bastard! Wouldn't you open the isolation belt first? Use a mortar to burn all the woods and valleys upstream, and kill the vicious creatures in the river water and destroy the hateful mosquitoes to ensure that everything is foolproof!"

"But, in this case, the traces of our march will be exposed!"

There are jungles that cover the sky and the sun along the way, and it is very difficult to detect in the air reconnaissance. But once the fire is ignited, the target of the thick smoke is too big.

Takeuchi Kura waved his hand arrogantly: "As long as you move fast enough, you don't have to worry! Don't think about the Chinese people's reconnaissance aircraft too capable!"

...Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say.

Chief of Staff Kato thought about it and it seemed that there were no reconnaissance planes flying over the past few days. Besides, there were all kinds of smoke and chaos in a radius of hundreds of miles. Even if a fire was lit, it would be wiped out soon. It was not so conspicuous, right?

For safety reasons, he arranged for air defense troops to set up a cordon around. After the engineers used small engineering vehicles given by the Americans to clear out two isolation belts, more than a dozen 60 mortars smashed the river exit more than a kilometer away and smashed them into a series of burning bombs.

The high temperature of the incendiary bomb was indeed powerful. The trees and vegetation that drooped low to the river surface burned into large charcoal. The river surface that was not very wide was burned and evaporated, and the mist filled the water. Then the soldiers watching the side were frightened to find that the river surface, which was originally as calm as stagnant, suddenly became restless. They watched countless leeches, long tongue snails, poisonous frogs and all kinds of strange creatures that they didn't know emerged from below, rushed out of nowhere, and pushed the water surface half a foot high out of thin air, wrapped it into a meat blanket that lasted tens of meters, pushing wildly towards the downstream!

The veteran, who had been fine after many fierce battles, was turned upside down by this scene, and felt like there were hundreds of furry bugs in his stomach leaping out, spitting out wow.

An even more terrifying situation occurred! When the food he had just eaten not long ago fell into the water with the strange smell of stomach acid, countless creatures suddenly rushed out of the faint water and sucked them fiercely. In a trance, you could see rows of Senri's fine teeth mingling hard, and even biting each other desperately!

The soldiers screamed in horror, rolling and crawling back. When the others in the unknown saw curiously, their faces changed drastically and they hurriedly retreated. At this time, they expressed their admiration for the division commander's wise decision. If they wade through the river inexplicably, God knows that many terrible monsters would be contaminated by!

When they thought of the consequences, they couldn't help but have a cold war. They even worried about the unlucky guys who had passed before, and they didn't know if they had suffered a big loss.

The military officer calmly took photos with the Chinese portable camera, and even took out a glass bottle to take samples for future research. Their bravery won unanimous praise from the soldiers.

Takeuchi Hiroshi couldn't help but feel proud. Did he see it? This is his wise decision and unique vision, so he can discover the terrible danger hidden in it and successfully resolve the potential crisis for the troops behind him. It may even be possible that he created a safe supply point that can last for countless years. Unfortunately, there are not many people around him who can flatter him and cannot show his majesty and wisdom.

More than a hundred consecutive fevers were fired, swallowing up the entire valley exit. The heat waves swept through the wind rushed to the river beach, igniting the grass leaves more than one person, forming a fire wave dozens of meters high. The annoying mosquitoes were licked and burned to death before they could fly away, making a strange sound of thundering and thundering.
Chapter completed!
