"The weather has been good these past few days. Today is the thirteenth day after entering the jungle. It seems that I still believe in my own abilities too much. Another supplementary soldier died of accidental food poisoning. Counting this, 7 people in the team have died.
Before we even got out of the jungle and exchanged fire with the Japanese army, seven people were already dead. Panic has already appeared among the other supplementary soldiers. If this continues, I think I may not be able to control these supplementary troops." Tang Cheng finished writing the last sentence,
Put the hardcover notebook and pen into your jacket pocket.
It was already the thirteenth day after leaving Lieduo, and Tang Cheng had already written thirteen diaries in his hard-cover book. Writing diaries was not a habit of Tangcheng. This was specifically requested by Mike when he left Lieduo.
The notebooks and pens were also given by Mike. In order to keep it secret, Tang Cheng led the team to leave Lieduo in the middle of the night. Two carloads of supplementary troops urgently transferred from Ramga were used to pretend that Tang Cheng and the others stayed in the camp to continue training.
, people who are not familiar with the inside story would not know that 400 people from Tangcheng had already entered Savage Mountain at night.
Perhaps Tangcheng imagined everything too beautifully. From the moment they stepped into Savage Mountain, trouble kept finding them. On the third day after entering the jungle, a supplementary soldier who did not listen to the advice relieved himself in the middle of the night.
But he accidentally got into the python's belly. When Tangcheng and the others opened the python's belly, the supplementary soldiers swallowed by the python were already out of breath. Mud, poisonous snakes, and locusts, these guardians in the jungle of Savage Mountain took turns.
They came to trouble Tang Cheng and the others. By today, the thirteenth day after entering the jungle, Tang Cheng had already lost 7 of his men.
The originally ambitious supplementary soldiers had long lost the vigor they had when they first entered the jungle of Savage Mountain. Every one of them was full of stale energy and seemed weak when walking. The food that was about to run out gave the supplementary soldiers a bad thought. Could it be that they themselves
Are these people going to starve to death in this jungle? Tangcheng can no longer urge these reinforcements to speed up. The troop's marching speed has dropped from 40 kilometers per day at the beginning to 20 kilometers now. If they enter the jungle during the rainy season,
, Tangcheng was worried that these supplementary troops might not even be able to walk 5 kilometers in a whole day.
"There is nothing to do. Keep moving forward. We can only keep walking now, otherwise we will starve to death in the forest." When the worried Hou San asked what to do, Tang Cheng's answer was still tough, at least for those hundred and ten.
The defeated army could still hold on. The dense tropical rainforest made Tang Cheng feel the crisis for the first time. Not to mention the panicked supplementary troops behind him, what worried him was that more than half of these supplementary troops generally lacked the jungle.
Experience, training and equipment for mountain warfare.
On the first day after entering Yeren Mountain, Tangcheng issued a puzzling order. All officers and soldiers were not allowed to drink unboiled water, they were required to wash their hands before eating, and they were not allowed to eat any wild fruits and vegetables outside of the second meal.
The wild fruits and vegetables picked must be uniformly sent to each company's logistics department for identification and classification. Violators will be punished by the Military Security Bureau.
However, Tangcheng still underestimated the power of the tropical rainforest. On the sixth day after entering the jungle, one of the company's two radio stations was damaged by moisture. In this vast primitive jungle where it is difficult to distinguish the direction, what does the radio station mean? For
To prevent people from being impetuous, this news has been tightly blocked by Tangcheng.
A drizzle before afternoon brought a rare coolness to Tangcheng and the others as they walked through the tropical jungle. However, the rain became heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping. The sky seemed to be leaking. It was not raining, but After splashing water, Tang Cheng had no choice but to order the troops to rest where they were. The high-intensity march and the ever-dwindling rations had tortured the supplementary soldiers to exhaustion, and now they were leaning together in groups to keep each other warm.
After Tang Cheng trudged through the mud and water to check around, when he returned, he found that Hou San had already led people to build a shed with banana leaves. Tang Cheng silently looked at Hou San's busy back and smiled helplessly. Laugh, Hou San, who is already a platoon leader, is often more like his deputy commander. He takes very good care of life in Tangcheng.
"Hurry up and get into the shed. Don't catch a cold. This is what the military doctor specially warned." Hou San was directing Liu Shitou and others to build the shed. Suddenly, he found Tang Cheng, who was soaked all over, standing behind him, urging him hurriedly. Tang Cheng went into a shed to take shelter from the rain. Hou San's words reminded Tang Cheng that the replacement soldiers were not yet accustomed to the jungle. After the heavy rain, I am afraid that many soldiers will catch a cold. In such a primitive jungle, a small cold will It is extremely easy to cause various complications, and once you fall ill, it is equivalent to a death sentence.
Tang Cheng looked around to find a military doctor to find some way to ward off the cold. Just when he was thinking about finding a military doctor, Liu Shitou brought several steaming lunch boxes from a low shack. Tang Cheng was confused. Looking at the lunch box Liu Shitou handed him, Liu Shitou explained: "This is the ginger soup prepared by the military medical organization to keep everyone warm."
The lunch box covered with a banana leaf brought a touch of warmth to Tang Cheng. After feeling the warmth for a moment, Tang Cheng handed the jar back to Liu Shitou, "Pass my order, the soldiers drink first, and the officers last." ." Liu Shitou was stunned for a moment, and then turned his attention to Hou San. Hou San glanced at Tang Cheng's pale lips and resolute expression, and could only nod secretly to Liu Shitou.
After learning that all the soldiers had drunk the hot ginger water, Tang Cheng finally took a jar of hot ginger water from Liu Shitou's hand. As a wave of heat flowed down his stomach, Tang Cheng's green and white lips appeared. After finally waiting for the rain to pass and the sky to clear up, Tang Cheng did not give the order to set off immediately, but instead summoned his cronies to gather in the mud of the shack gun for a meeting.
Everyone knows that the supplies they carry are running low, but no one knows how long the journey ahead will take. "Our supplies are already insufficient. If I say no, I will cut the supply in half." , and get some wild vegetables or something, wasn’t this how we lived when we first walked through the woods, and we didn’t see anyone starving to death.” Dice’s muttering to himself happened to be heard clearly by Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng was slightly startled at first, then looked at the eyes of Hou San and others next to him looking at him, and hesitantly asked Tan Fei, who was in charge of logistics supplies, "How long will our supplies be enough?" The amount of food in stock is now that of the National Army detachment. The top secret of the meeting, the actual figures, except Tan Fei and the two defeated troops, no one else knows. Knowing that those guys who missed the meeting are secretly watching from a distance, Tan Fei only Neng could tell with a smile that the existing supplies in Tangcheng were enough to sustain everyone for ten days.
Tang Cheng was not a fool. He naturally knew that Tan Fei could not do anything right now. He quietly looked at Tan Fei's very obscure gesture. Tang Cheng was shocked. The so-called ten days for this guy was just a standard of one meal a day. Look.
Looking at the look Tan Fei gave him, Tang Cheng immediately understood Tan Fei's intention. The most important thing now is to appease the soldiers. But it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. According to current standards, the remaining supplies will be enough in three days at most.
exhausted.
After wiping the rain on his face, Tang Cheng calmed down. Although the supplies were no longer enough, they also traveled through the jungle for thirteen days, and their speed was much faster than when they walked through the jungle at that time.
A lot. According to the map, Tangcheng deduced that according to the direction and speed of the troops' advance, it would take about a week at most to get out of this primeval forest and reach the red land they had locked. They were now short of four days of supplies. If the current
Changing three meals a day to two would only mean a short supply of supplies for two days at most. If you use a handful of wild vegetables or banana roots, you might be able to get out of the woods.
After unifying the opinions of Hou San and others, Tang Cheng called all the soldiers together and directly told them about the running out of supplies for the troops. Naturally, the supplementary soldiers were in an uproar, but under the efforts of hundreds of defeated soldiers, they suppressed it.
Next, the uproar of the supplementary soldiers did not last long before they died down. "I know it's hard for everyone, but we have to keep moving forward, otherwise we will starve to death here. From today on, three meals will be changed to two meals."
, and we must add wild vegetables and banana roots to our two meals that can fill our stomachs. If we can hunt wild animals, that would be even better."
Tangcheng's order is mandatory. Although many of the supplementary soldiers are still not happy, they all understand that this may be the best way. If all the supplies are consumed and they only eat wild vegetables and the like, their hundreds of
We still don’t know how many people will survive. After we set out on the road, the ambulance soldiers in each platoon became the meat and potatoes of the soldiers. If there was anything edible in the jungle, these ambulance soldiers would later know that in order to fill their stomachs,
The soldiers did not want to be poisoned by the wild vegetables they found in the woods.
"I estimate that if this continues, the little supplies we have left will be enough for half a month. You haven't seen the patience of those guys when they are looking for wild vegetables." Dinner is canned meat stewed with wild vegetables. Of course, it cannot be shared between two or three people.
Instead of one box of cans, there were two boxes of cans placed in a whole marching pot, and the people eating were in a small team. The cooking soldiers of each team had already received a notice from Tan Fei to save cans, even if they were too many.
Distribute a biscuit to the diners and save the amount of canned food.
Tang Cheng rummaged through his lunch box with a spoon and found only a piece of canned meat about the size of his thumb. He didn't say anything at all. He just soaked his piece of biscuit in the wild vegetable soup and drank it up with a few gulps.
Jing. "You're right. If we continue like this, the remaining supplies will be enough for half a month." Tang Cheng added some boiled water to the lunch box and took a sip, "I just discovered now that the dice are not the most powerful among us.
That person who knows how to calculate carefully, you are much more cunning than him."
