According to Tangcheng's arrangement, we got up early and continued our journey north. At first, everything went smoothly. We didn't encounter the Japanese army and there were no accidents. However, the weather today was very bad. It suddenly started to rain non-stop around noon.
It was getting heavier and heavier. The rainwater collected in the jungle flowed into the low-lying areas, forming small pools and mud puddles, which also caused a lot of trouble for Tangcheng and the others.
Tangcheng, the others, and the hundreds of veterans were all people who had traveled through the jungle. When they fled to Upper Lieduo in northern Myanmar, they could no longer remember how many times they had experienced such weather. Everyone just wrapped their raincoats tightly and silently
Continuing to march, being alone in the jungle of Savage Mountain means death. Compared with the indifference between them and the veterans in Tangcheng, the guys who were recruited in Lieduo are not so optimistic. If you don't pay attention, by the way
The rainwater flowing down from the branches and leaves of the trees will flow in along the gaps in the raincoat until it wets every inch of your body. You will be greasy and wet, with no dry place on your body, and you have to carry a heavy backpack while marching.
The supplementary soldiers couldn't bear it any longer and seemed to be walking slower and slower.
Dice carried his rifle backwards and looked at these guys with high ambitions and low hands with disdain. When they were in Liduo, they were so arrogant that they wished they could strangle the little devils to death with their bare hands. Why did they just enter the jungle and they were so stupid? They were not as good as Liu Shitou, a child.
He has endurance. "Sir, what should I do if these supplementary troops are exhausted? Do you want to stop and take shelter from the rain first?" Dice dismissed it with disdain, but still found Tangcheng. If these people all fell ill, not only would they be a drag
Everyone, it will also affect the combat effectiveness. If they encounter the Japanese army, these goods will be killed.
"No, the rain probably won't stop today. Let's keep walking. If we don't encounter Japanese soldiers, it's a good weather. If we don't walk a little more now, what will we do if we encounter Japanese soldiers?" Hou San knew how to stop and rest in this kind of rain.
, it is simply committing suicide. But everywhere in the jungle is wet, and there is not even firewood that can be lit. If you stop, you will only get wet in the rain, so you might as well continue walking. In such weather, the Japanese army will take shelter from the rain. If they don't take advantage of the opportunity
If we continue heading north, wouldn't we be wasting a good opportunity?
Tang Cheng didn't speak, he just stopped and turned around to look at the team behind him. The veterans didn't say anything, they just struggled to continue marching in the muddy water. But the supplementary soldiers that Dice mentioned were almost falling apart, and it looked like they were going to continue.
If we move forward, these supplementary soldiers will not be able to hold on any longer. "Forget it, let's find a place to stop and let everyone take a rest. If we really get sick due to the rain, we will be the ones who suffer." Seeing this situation, Tangcheng could only
You can order to stop and rest for a while before getting back on the road.
It seems that Tang Cheng's helplessness has moved God. The rain that was originally pouring gradually subsided, from pouring to just dripping. The rain has almost stopped, but Tangcheng and the others have encountered new troubles.
, fog began to rise in the jungle. Before Tangcheng could issue an order to gather the teams, Wu Shan, who was in charge of the leading search team, and Tan Fei, who was in the rear team, rushed over early. The fog in the jungle can be big or small, and sometimes the fog is very big.
People who are 2 or 3 meters away cannot see each other clearly. The only way in Tangcheng is to gather the soldiers together, otherwise there will be the possibility of people getting lost.
"Camp where you are and rest." Hou San finally gave the order to camp according to Tangcheng's order, and the veterans began to get busy. Dice and Yanlong were leading people to peel the tree trunks. They wanted to dig out the dry tree cores and prepare to light the bonfire.
Wu Shan, who was familiar with the mountains and forests, led his people to find a few towering ancient trees. He used an engineering shovel to pry open the thick fallen leaves under the trees. The soil underneath was actually dry, just suitable for camping. The military doctor led two military doctors and held
Homemade herbs are scattered in and around the camp. These are herbs that can ward off poisonous insects. In the jungle, poisonous insects will attack you at any time. If you are not careful, your life will be decided here.
In the dense forest of Yeren Mountain, there are countless venomous snakes and beasts. However, compared with those snakes, insects, and leopards, the threat to humans from jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards can be said to be dwarfed. The powder prepared by the military doctor went through Wushan.
After some advice, this improved medicine can emit a smell that makes snakes, insects and leech very annoying as long as it is sprinkled around the camp, thereby protecting the safety of the people in the camp.
The woods were wet from rain and dense fog, and the dead branches they picked were all wet. The smoke from the wet branches was very loud, but it was not very noticeable in the fog. Tangcheng and the others did not have to worry about being caught by the possible presence of
The Japanese army found that the bonfire had been lit, and the wet branches cut down were placed on top of the bonfire to bake. As long as the water vapor was dried, these were the dry firewood that could be added. They were temporarily resting and eating and drinking.
They wrapped their military uniforms tightly and sat around the campfire and dozed off. Since entering the forest, everyone had not had a good rest. The jungle where the Japanese troops were hiding was full of dangers, and no one wanted to be lost in confusion.
In order to save their lives, they even slept in shifts.
The thick fog didn't seem to cause any trouble to everyone, because everyone gathered around the campfire and had their stomachs full of canned meat and biscuits. Except for a few guard posts, everyone was dozing off holding their guns, Lao Pao.
He even started snoring and slept soundly and comfortably.
Tang Cheng did not rest. After changing into military uniforms that Liu Shitou and his men had baked in a bonfire, Tang Cheng personally followed Dice and a group of scouts to continue searching. Everyone, including Tang Cheng himself, had been tortured by the vast jungle.
It was so frustrating that they wanted to get out of the jungle as soon as possible. Tangcheng planned to take advantage of the opportunity for the troops to stop and rest to search the front in order to avoid the possible appearance of Japanese troops.
After flowing continuously through two streams formed by the accumulation of rainwater, Tang Cheng's group came to a slope with few trees and lay down on the wet rotten leaves. Tang Cheng raised his hand and gestured to the dice on his right side.
Dice knowingly led the scouts to disperse before approaching. The sound of ropes could be heard in the grass in the depression opposite. Tang Cheng quietly leveled his carbine and stared at the place where the grass made noise on the opposite side with bated breath, waiting for the Japanese army.
Appear.
The scouts, who had fanned out in a fan shape, moved forward until they had vaguely surrounded the depression. The dice, which had been staying in front of them, got up and moved forward quickly. Perhaps they were aware of the threat posed by the dice, and were moved forward quickly.
There was finally movement in the grass where Tang Cheng was pointing his gun, but what appeared in Tang Cheng's sight was not the Japanese army, but two wild boars that didn't look very big. Tang Cheng, who was dumbfounded, gave up on capturing the two wild boars.
He planned to immediately order the search forward, but the dice always adhered to the principle that thieves never miss the target, so they directly asked two natives under Wu Shan to shoot the wild boar with arrows, saying that they would take it back and bake it into dried meat when they returned.
They searched two open areas and a hilltop continuously, but Tangcheng and the others never found the hidden Japanese army. This made Tangcheng and the others very excited. If they did not see the Japanese army on the road ahead, they would not be able to return to the column alive.
There may be a few more points. When we returned to the original route, everyone was moving much faster. The two wild boars that Dice ordered to shoot became the center of the topic. The exhausted scouts now just wanted to wait to go back.
We can order a meal of roast pork, then sit huddled together around the campfire and take a good nap.
"Rabbit, there are rabbits." A scout who was walking crookedly suddenly shouted in a low voice. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw two gray-backed hares gnawing on the bushes not far from them.
Young leaves. There is not too much meat. There will be some people who don't like eating too much meat in their stomachs, especially Dice, which has been short of fresh meat for a long time. They are even watching the two hares who don't know the danger. They don't know.
Whoever took the first step, the scouts rushed towards the hare with a roar, but Tang Cheng did not stop them. Anyway, there were no Japanese troops around.
How can a hare in the jungle be so easy to catch? The scouts were out of breath from exhaustion, but they didn't even touch the rabbit hair. Wu Shan's natives wanted to shoot arrows, but they had to be careful not to hit the people surrounding them.
The rabbit's own people chased the rabbit and chased it back and forth, but the two scouts who still had physical strength chased the rabbit up a slope. After climbing over the slope, the two scouts suddenly lost two hares in their field of vision.
A large open area with weeds half as tall as a man appeared in front of them.
The place where they were standing was a slope. On the other side of the slope was an open land full of weeds. Some wild flowers were growing in the green grass. The two scouts, who were wet with mist, were already exhausted.
Yes, there is still time to take a leisurely look at those wild flowers. At this moment, all they can see is the two hares trying to escape. "Stop chasing, I feel something is wrong." The scout who was slightly ahead suddenly stretched out his hand to hold him.
companion, and slowly squatted down,
Seeing that the two scouts who were chasing rabbits suddenly squatted down on the slope, Tang Cheng, who knew something was wrong, waved his hand, and Dice, whose expression also changed, quickly dispersed and ran towards the slope with his scouts.
The scout who had crouched down on the slope suddenly stopped and raised one hand high, staring at a bush at the bottom of the slope. He seemed to have seen the bush move just now. Dice and others followed the scout's gesture.
We lay down and slowly crawled up the slope. The grass half as high as a person on the slope provided us with good concealment. Without careful observation, we couldn't spot Dice and the others.
"Something's wrong. I smell the smell of little devils." The scout who squatted down first pointed out the bush he suspected to Dice, but Dice looked at it with his telescope for a long time and still found nothing strange. Wait.
Tang Cheng also walked up the slope, and Dice pointed out the bush to Tang Cheng. The latter didn't find anything unusual with his binoculars.
