There are large trees thirty or forty centimeters thick everywhere in the forest. Since they have not been cut down for hundreds or thousands of years, some of the trunks are so thick that it takes two or three people to embrace each other. With the sight of it, trees generally grow to twenty or thirty meters, and towering giant trees as high as thirty or forty meters are often seen.

The density of trees is also very high, and the two trees are only three or five meters apart, so that the branches between them are intertwined. The dense branches and leaves are like a giant green net, covering the sky and making the forest very dark. Even during the day, it is like five or six o'clock in the evening. Only in places where leaves are occasionally sparse, can a little light be sent from above and fall on the ground spots.

It is with this little sunshine that dense shrubs grow under the dark shade. At the roots of the big trees, you can see clusters of colorful mushrooms. Most of these mushrooms are poisonous and look bright in color, but they will be poisoned if eaten.

Leaves fall off all year round, forming one or two meter thick fallen leaves on the ground. When they rot and decompose, they will break into rocks and turn into soil, and then provide sufficient nutrients for this forest.

But before this, countless layers of fallen leaves looked like a swamp. On the surface, they seemed to be able to leave, but once they stepped on them, they could not support the weight of the human body. They were deeply trapped in the fallen leaves, suffocated to death, and were smoky by the toxic gas released from rotten leaves, and then became food from the mouths of passing beasts.

There are several major dangers in the primeval forest. First, the sun is not visible, and it is difficult to find a way; second, the trees are dense, obscuring the vision and difficult to determine the direction; third, the dead leaves block the ground, and there is no way to judge whether there are pits below. If you are not careful, you may step on the air and fall into a deep pit or a cliff; fourth, the scenery remains unchanged, which can easily cause mental fatigue, which will cause panic at unknown time to get out of the jungle, lose your rational judgment, and eventually die of physical strength; fifth, the bushes are growing, and it is very exhausted to cut out the road; sixth, there are many snakes and insects in the forest, which are easy to be bitten by poisonous snakes and mosquitoes.

Because the primeval forest is so dangerous, during the Battle of Ganglong, the Western Route Army tried to cross the forest and then encircled the enemy's important town Lashio, and then got lost. Before the battle was launched, a large number of people were separated and eventually collapsed, and more than half did not return.

For this reason, although the military sub-district area is narrow and the narrowest part is only about seven kilometers in the middle. However, the Wei Ding Army did not place the easy-to-attack mid-range, but launched a strong attack on the strong fortress. It was not that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't do it!

Everyone understands that entering the forest is easy, but it is extremely difficult to get out of it intact! Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Wild Army, if the entire army enters the forest, it is estimated that more than two-thirds of the ones who can get out alive in the end!

But Guan Fei and the others were about to enter this terrifying primeval forest!

Just like the Decision Army can only attack from both ends and launch an attack, if the main force of the military sub-district does not enter the primeval forest, it will also be unable to go around behind the enemy.

When defending, this stretching forest that runs hundreds of kilometers north and south and dozens of kilometers east and west is the best barrier. However, during the attack, this boundless primeval forest has also become a stumbling block that hinders the military division from moving outward.

However, no matter how difficult it is, if you want to break out of the enemy's encirclement and fight on the outside, this difficulty must be overcome no matter what.

Guan Fei held a thin bamboo pole about two meters long in his left hand, carefully lit the fallen leaves in front of him, and based on his touch, he tested whether it was a solid ground or a mud under him. The machete held by the other hand cut off the branches and leaves of several bushes around him to open up a way.

These shrubs are very annoying. In order not to be eaten by herbivores in the forest, most of them have sharp thorns. When walking in the shrubs, their clothes are often hooked and torn. The sharp wooden thorns will take the opportunity to pierce into the flesh and release the hidden toxins. Although it is not fatal, it will make the middle thorn red, swollen, itchy and painful, and extremely uncomfortable.

In order to open the way, Guan Fei wore a double-layer denim training uniform and tied the trousers tightly with ropes to avoid poisonous insects. The leeches ran in. He also wore a pair of thick gloves on his hands and a layer of gauze on his face to prevent mosquito bites.

Fortunately, it's winter.

Although it is not cold in winter, it will still be as low as zero or even below the mountain about 1,000 meters. At the peaks of nearly 2,000 meters, there will even be snow.

In this season, evergreen trees in the forest will also fall leaves to reduce nutrient consumption. Therefore, although the head is still blocked by dense branches and leaves, it is finally much better than in summer, at least not yet reaching the point where you can't see your fingers. The low bushes, a large number of branches have withered, and they are unable to stretch and occupy all space, leaving a relatively spacious road for the march.

The poisonous snakes and mosquitoes in the forest have become very rare this season, either hiding underground and hibernating or frozen to death.

And there is another advantage in winter, that is, the ground where the fallen leaves will be frozen and hard. As long as you make sure that there is no pit below, you will not be afraid of falling into mud.

Eliminating these biggest dangers, it is easy to get lost in the forest. In the eyes of Guan Fei, who has the help of biological brains to guide the direction, that is not a problem at all!

If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have proposed a plan to fight back to enemy territory through the primeval forest.

If it was summer now, then he would rather stand it to the end with Kangka and Long Kang than propose to enter the primeval forest - that was 100% suicide, and it was definitely not a strategy!

As his old subordinates, Sun Yaohua and others knew very well that he was able to find a way in the jungle, so although everyone hoped that he could stay in the military sub-district to command the battle, after thinking about it, jumping to the outside line to fight was the only choice to break the deadlock, so they had to agree that Sun Yaohua would stay in the military sub-district and lead the main force to attack.

Behind him is the Military Sub-district Special Operations Team.

There are only thirty people, and they were carefully selected from the entire army. Half of them had experienced martial arts and were agile.

At this moment, they were all wearing double-layer training uniforms and carrying half-person-high marching backpacks, following Guan Fei closely.

The ten people in the front also waved their machetes and cut off the branches of shrubs surrounding the road along the gap opened by Guan Fei to open a wider road to facilitate the marching of the large army. The ten people in the middle used the self-luminescent paint spray cans in their hands to spray arrows on the trunks next to them, pointing out the direction for the troops behind.

The ten soldiers behind them were carrying a plastic box spraying pesticides, spraying the ground with potions to drive away snakes and insects.

Where the potion was sprayed, you could hear the rustling sound, and from time to time you could see a snake rushing through the fallen leaves and fleeing to the distance in a hurry.

In winter, there are not completely free snakes and insects in the forest. They just hide and hide from the severe cold. The temperature in the forest is several degrees higher than that in the wilderness, and the decomposition of fallen leaves will also release a certain amount of heat, which is suitable for snakes and insects to spend the winter.

However, the odor emitted by the snake-repellent deworming agent is the most annoying of them. It is also mixed with drugs such as realgar, which are very sensitive to snakes, and they will not avoid it when they smell it. Therefore, when the agent is sprayed, a large number of snakes and insects can be seen scattered to both sides, leaving a clean and harmless road.

There are road ahead and clearing the way. There are luminous arrows on the trunks indicating the direction. Even in the forest with dim light, you can see it with striking attention. You are worried about getting lost. Wherever you can go and where you can't walk, you have drawn a range. Some dangerous areas are marked with red pigments. The large army's actions have not slowed down much because they are in the forest.

This time it was an outside battle. The soldiers carried a lot of supplies, such as sleeping bags, tents, blankets, compressed biscuits, chocolates and other high-calorie foods, kettles, toothpaste and toothbrushes, towels, lunch boxes and other daily necessities. They also had to carry automatic rifles, ammunition, grenades, grenades, gas masks and other combat supplies that exceeded the normal combat base. Each person had a weight of more than 30 kilograms.

In addition to personal belongings, some soldiers carrying heavy weapons also have to carry heavy equipment such as triangular stabilizer frames, gun barrels, ammunition boxes, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc., and bear higher weights.

However, due to the scientific design of personal cargo, it is very close to the body. As long as all kinds of personal items and ammunition are placed reasonably, they do not feel very heavy when they move.

This is like walking alone on his back. If the other party lets go and moves around behind his back, it will definitely be very difficult. But if he lies on his back, the two of them are close to each other, and puts his arms around the neck of the person in front, he will walk very easily. This is the same principle.

This personal carousel was not invented by Guan Fei. He just copied the template in the war game. As soon as he was issued a trial, it was highly praised by the army soldiers. It is said that with this carousel, it is much easier to walk and more things to memorize, and everyone likes it very much.

After trying it in China, it has also made many promises, especially the front-line troops and logistics departments, which have praised this kind of carrying equipment and distributed large numbers of troops. In the self-defense counterattack last year, the border defense forces collectively equipped this kind of carrying equipment, which has a very significant effect. The troops' marching speed, marching distance, and equipment carrying capacity have been greatly increased, the range of activities is wider, the tactics are more flexible and changeable, and the results are greater.

In fact, in the future, in the European and American military, they used this kind of carrying equipment to carry a larger load, and a soldier could carry a weight of 40 kilograms or even up to 60 kilograms.

However, Oriental people are slender in size and are not as strong as white and black people in terms of strength. Most of them take buses and walk a small amount, which is completely different from the country. In addition, the Chinese people in this era are generally malnourished and not tall, so the weight load set by the military sub-district is limited to about 30 kilograms. Only in special circumstances can the weight load be increased to 40 kilograms. This is the limit and cannot be marching for a long time.

The troops set off at 7 o'clock in the morning, and rested for a quarter of an hour for every marching. They had lunch and rested for a total of one and a half hours. The march was until 7 o'clock in the evening, and the accumulated time on the road reached nine hours throughout the day. Because it was a mountainous marching, the speed was not very fast, and the average speed was about the same as that of ordinary people walking, about four kilometers.

The final marching distance reached 32 kilometers throughout the day.

This speed is not fast or slow. In military terms, it is a regular marching state, that is, it can maintain the speed of continuous marching for a long time. It is not even considered a rapid marching, let alone forcing marching.

When camping at night, people generally felt that they were not tired, and some people suggested marching overnight and trying to walk a little more. However, this impulsive proposal was naturally rejected immediately and there was no possibility of passing.

Guan Fei specially selected the camp in a small valley. It is more than ten kilometers away from the nearest village. It is deserted and blocked by surrounding mountains. There will be no herb collectors or hunters wandering around. The camp tent is stuck in the woods and will not be reconnaissed by planes in the sky.

Considering that there was no enemy situation around, only some branches and trunks were placed around the camp as railings, and some bells were hung to think of warnings. Several warning posts were set up at the top of the mountain and at the entrance of the mountain. Anyway, it was determined that the Air Force did not have the ability to fly at night, so everyone was relieved to raise a fire in the camp, ate a comfortable meal, scalded their feet with hot water, and then got into the sleeping bag and fell asleep.

Guan Fei and other commanders went down to each battalion and company, inspected them, learned about everyone's emotions, boosted morale, and helped several soldiers pick up the blisters on their feet and returned to the command center.

The command center is composed of five tents connected together, and is used as a command room, communication room, combat room and lounge.

The communication room was very quiet. A group of accompanying combat staff had already tied the antenna at the top of the tree. They were wearing headphones and listened carefully to the telegrams sent by the military sub-district. They recorded them with pencils, and did not ticking the telegrams. According to the regulations, during the long-distance marching, they only collected electricity and did not return the telegrams to keep the radio silent, avoid being discovered by the enemy through the radio direction finding, and prepare in advance.

After all, the Wild Army is still a regular army after all. They cannot have no radio technology that was terrible during World War II.

"How is the situation?" Guan Fei sat upright on the stool, picked up a cup of hot water and took a sip, and asked with concern.

Today, the path exploration was basically the biological brain that operated independently and accurately controlled physical energy consumption. One-quarter of an hour along the way was enough to restore physical energy, so he did not feel tired at all, his eyes were still bright and he still maintained his energy.

The staff were a little tired.

Although they are just staff officers, they usually have to follow the marching and training, and they are not so tired. However, this time, the weight of each person carrying out the outside battle exceeded the normal range, and the staff officers also had to help share the part. They walked down the whole day, despite the unfast speed and exhaustion of physical strength and energy, they still felt extremely tired, and they were fighting while sitting.

But now is not the time to rest, so they can only hold on, receive all the messages, submit them to the superiors, and arrange tomorrow's march before going to bed.

"Today is the first day of the march, and the situation is not bad. After the troops gathered together, they found that there were two people behind. The company commander who belonged to them had returned to search. There were luminous arrows indicating the direction, and there was little chance of getting lost. I guess he was exhausted and could not walk halfway, so he should be able to find them soon.

In addition, eleven people in the entire army did not sprain their ankles during the march; the two did not pay attention to the downhill and fell heavily, but it seemed that they could not continue to keep up with the marching speed of the troops; and three of them had diarrhea and could not march. In view of this, the command center planned to leave a squad to take care of them, and wait for the two fallen soldiers to catch up, and rest here together for two days, and then go back to the military sub-district along the way and no longer participate in this battle."

Yu Bohai sat down and didn't bother to take a breath. While drinking boiled water, he took over the situation compiled by the staff and reported to Guan Fei.

"Not bad!" Guan Fei nodded with satisfaction.

Eighteen people fell behind on the first day, and this number is not big. It is impossible for many places to follow in this complex mountainous area. Tourists are bound to have an accident when tourist attractions are intact, let alone fully armed and carrying dozens of kilograms of weight.

There were eleven battalions in the military sub-district. In order to ensure the safety of the military sub-district, he left behind the second battalion, fifth battalion and three guard battalion. Among them, the guard battalion was the most well-equipped and of the highest quality of soldiers. Through the entire army competition and the night attack on Peng Desheng's troops yesterday, his combat effectiveness was also good.

With these two thousand people, plus the 4,000 militia division led by Geng Feng, it is not very difficult to defend the military sub-district territory in the short term.

Besides, before leaving, he also reminded Sun Yaohua and Geng Feng to ask the guards led by Feng Aiguo to approach the Qingshui River defense line in a row. If the enemy does not move, they will not provoke them for the time being. If the enemy attacks Guogen in a large scale, use the surrounding complex terrain as a cover and do not resist. They will divide into small teams to launch guerrilla warfare, lay mines on major traffic roads, and strive to hold the enemy down.

At the same time, the cement factory of Guogen temporarily requisitioned, thousands of migrant workers were recruited, and the engineering battalion was cooperated with the engineering battalion to urgently build fortresses in Shitouzhai, Shimashan, Laoshugou and other places. The guard company and the militia regiment entered the fortress, implemented the policy of step-by-step resistance and gradually retreating, and did not seek to block the enemy's attack, as long as they could delay their advancement and prevent Guogen County from falling too quickly.

He also made the best plan for Guogen County to fall to the enemy.

Therefore, the subsequent main defense line will be set up behind Guogen County, with Manga Mountain and Huoshi Mountain as the last defense line. It is necessary to prevent the enemy from getting close to the military sub-district to avoid burning the war to the new city.

Guogen has 5,700 square kilometers of territory, and its territory is ten times that of the military sub-district, with most wiggle room. The territory is also mountainous, suitable for blocking positions everywhere. If the enemy's attack spirit is gradually consumed, he should be at ease based on his command ability of Sun Yaohua and others.

I dare not say that if I have too much, there is no problem in resisting for one or two months.

After reporting the marching summary, Yu Baihai reported the message he had just received: "Today, the 88th Division launched an attack on the Kangka defense line again. After retreating ten kilometers, they climbed the ridge from both sides and tried to attack our defense line from a high point. According to the instructions of the front-line observation post, I bombarded it with heavy artillery. Because the mountain lacked dodging, the enemy suffered heavy losses.

Given the enemy's tenacious fighting determination, he seized the mountain regardless of casualties, a platoon defending the first line of defense took the initiative to retreat and put it down. Then, during the process of going down the mountain, he was shot again by our front-line artillery fire, grenades, and dense fire nets from the firepower points of the tunnels on all sides of the mountain walls. He killed the enemy's front-line commander on the spot, and killed more than 200 people. Because heavy artillery bombardment cut off the reinforcements, the remaining Wei Ding army retreated in a hurry. Our army took advantage of the victory and regained the front-line fortifications again.

Afterwards, we found some results. In this battle, we killed one enemy major battalion commander, one captain company commander, and one lieutenant platoon leader, one enemy 103 people, and nearly two hundred were injured. We captured 51 soldiers of the Wild Army who had not escaped. Our army was killed, three seriously injured, and twenty-nine were slightly injured. They were all retreated to Xincheng People's Hospital for treatment.

Other……"

He looked at the telegram, then raised his head and said with a little sadness: "The soldier who was injured in the head yesterday died in the hospital due to intracranial hemorrhage!"

Guan Fei was speechless.

If you want to win many things, you can only see them in the novel. In reality, he has tried his best to equip the troops with the best protective equipment, but it is impossible to avoid casualties. What he has done is to reduce the number of casualties in the troops.
