Luo Yuesong led 10 reconnaissance team members to the eastern front for reconnaissance. After traveling for more than two hours, they found that in the dense jungle, there were no roads at all, and it was difficult to find even the narrow paths that people could barely walk on.
Yuesong asked the team to stop and rest on the spot. He climbed up a century-old banyan tree, stood on a thick branch, and looked into the distance with a sniper rifle.
In the sniper scope, in addition to jungles, there are mountains. In addition to mountains, there are jungles. In the quiet, hot and humid jungle, mosquitoes and flies fly in swarms, and poisonous insects often appear. In such an environment, marching in large groups is not only impossible, but at least extremely difficult.
It's difficult. Since the troops of a Japanese division landed on the southern coast, they have disappeared on the battlefield of Yunnan and Burma. Are they really hidden in this vast tropical jungle?
Yuesong put away the sniper rifle, sat on the branches of the big banyan tree, with his legs hanging down and his back against the trunk. He took out the seized Japanese cigarettes, lit one, and while smoking, he thought about how to conduct this reconnaissance.
A cigarette will soon be finished. Yuesong wants to break up the team and expand the search area. Teams of two can be divided into five groups. Five is greater than one. The probability of discovering the whereabouts of Japanese troops is naturally greater...
When Yuesong was thinking, he heard a "swish" sound. Yuesong looked up and saw an arrow flying towards him. Yuesong is a practitioner of Luo Family Xingyiquan, and after so many years
With front-line combat experience, although the arrow struck very suddenly, Yuesong sat on a branch and turned sideways to avoid the arrow. The arrow pierced the tree trunk with a "bang" sound. Yuesong reached out and pulled out the arrow.
He jumped down from the banyan tree in a hurry.
"Captain." Lei Hang quickly stood in front of Yuesong.
Yuesong took Lei Hang and hid behind the banyan tree. He raised his hand to indicate that the brothers in the reconnaissance team immediately took cover.
Yuesong looked at the arrow in his hand. The arrowhead was actually made from animal bones. Yuesong smiled and said, "Is it possible that there are primitive tribes in this jungle?"
"Captain, you can't say for sure. Myanmar is a British colony. There are always some people who are dissatisfied with foreign rule and will hide in the jungle. They would rather hunt and maintain health than live an independent life." Lei Hang said.
"Okay, you've made progress, you know how to analyze situations." Yuesong praised Lei Hang.
"What should we do? If you dare to attack our captain, we will outflank him and kill him." Lei Hang said.
Yuesong pondered for a moment and said: "The enemy of your enemy is your friend."
"Who is whose enemy, and who is whose friend?" Lei Hang asked.
"The people who attacked me are the locals in the jungle. Who are their enemies?"
Lei Hang thought for a while: "We are British, but we are not British, and we did not colonize Myanmar."
"People who have been hiding in the mountains and dense forests for many years, how can they tell whether we are the British army or the Chinese army?"
"Oh, I understand, they regard us as the British army. When they were in Yangon, the enemy of the British army was the Japanese army. Now it's troublesome. The Burmese people regard us as their enemies. Don't they regard the little Japanese as their friends?
"
"This kind of worry is not unreasonable. How can a small Japanese division's troops mysteriously disappear in the entire Yunnan-Burma battlefield?"
"It's no accident. In this jungle, there are local people acting as guides, leading the way for the Japanese troops."
"Yes, the Japanese army wants to pass through the dense forests on the eastern front without anyone noticing, penetrate the flanks of the expeditionary force, and then launch a sudden attack. I took out the map and I have to take a look and study it."
