When fighting in Southeast Asia, the harsh natural environment can be called the second enemy. I have written before that the Chinese Supreme Command attaches great importance to the safety and protection of troops operating in special environments. But now, many people think that this is a purely unnecessary provision. Starting from play a role.
The first person to notice the anomaly was a lookout soldier named Xiao Linmin. Through his telescope, he saw something about ten meters away from here, something like a dark cloud suddenly rising in a jungle, and it was "floating" over quickly. It was uncertain. What was it and what impact would it have on the current war situation? He immediately called the headquarters and reported it to Kim Jong-hwa.
Kim Jong-hwa was on the front line. When he received the report, he immediately found a place with a clear field of vision, picked up a telescope, looked over, and then said: "Xiemen, how can there be such a thing?"
"What's the hotel seat?" the guard next to him asked.
"Man-eating mosquitoes, have you ever heard of them?"
"Isn't that a legend?"
"Legend has it that the chief has already sent people to investigate. This kind of thing really exists, Xiao Ge."
"Here." Xiaoge is the communications staff officer, responsible for delivering orders.
"Quick, call the chief of staff immediately and tell him to send someone to distribute the mosquito repellent we have stored immediately."
"receive."
A colony of man-eating mosquitoes appeared in the jungle southwest of the battlefield. The Japanese did not know about it. The Japanese did send scouts in this direction. However, the unlucky Japanese was bitten by several mosquitoes and was poisoned soon after entering the jungle. Fainted, so let alone that he didn't detect the man-eating mosquito colony at all, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to send out the information.
The Japs commander was asking everyone to inject stimulants to increase pressure because of the arrival of the Chinese delivery fleet. Although the Japs injected with stimulants were in a highly excited state, their reaction ability was reduced at the same time, so even if they saw what was behind them, There was a dark cloud of man-eating mosquitoes, but he didn’t think much about it.
The dark cloud of man-eating mosquitoes came with great force and very quickly. Kim Jong-hwa watched carefully from a high place. He realized that it was too late for all front-line troops to spray mosquito repellent. He made a prompt decision and ordered to abandon the first line of defense and move to the second line of defense. , later, when he found that this was still not enough to escape the harassment of man-eating mosquitoes, he ordered a retreat again, asking everyone to retreat to the third line of defense.
The defenders retreated twice in a row. Under normal circumstances, this would have aroused doubts and vigilance among the Japanese in front of them. But now, China's behavior misled the Japanese, making them think that the Chinese army had been repelled by them. Therefore, instead of being suspicious, the Japanese army and the National Independence Army were delighted and charged even more fiercely. Their attention was focused on the front and they neglected to detect the situation behind them. So, just as they rushed into the defense When the army was on the first line of defense, some of the Japs at the foot of the mountain had begun to be bitten by mosquitoes, and they finally reacted and started a human-mosquito war.
There is an old saying in China that one's own misfortunes will lead to death. This saying could not be more apt for the Japanese who attacked Xiaolin Heights. You must know that the native Nanyang monkeys must know something about man-eating mosquitoes. However, in the eyes of the Japanese In China, the National Independence Army has always been the spokesperson for cannon fodder, so regardless of whether they are officers or soldiers, the Nanyang Monkeys are not only the first batch to be injected with stimulants, but also the first batch to be driven into the mountains.
Unlike ordinary mosquitoes, which only like to feed on human and animal blood when they are breeding, female mosquitoes like to feed on human and animal blood. Both male and female mosquitoes, regardless of specific conditions, are particularly bloodthirsty.
As a result, Jin Zhenghe saw that the dark clouds composed of man-eating mosquitoes had only covered the Japanese camp at the foot of the mountain for about ten minutes. Not a single Japanese soldier at the foot of the mountain was standing. Not only that, through the telescope lens, he could even see some Japanese soldiers. The faces of the Japanese were covered with mosquitoes, and after the mosquitoes left, the faces of the Japanese turned into skeletons, as if only a piece of skin was left.
"Damn, this is so disgusting." Even though Kim Jong-hwa knew the characteristics of man-eating mosquitoes and hated the Japanese soldiers, he still had goosebumps all over his body when he saw this scene and almost vomited.
The Japs and Nanyang monkeys on the mountainside were still shouting excitedly and hugging the fire crazily. They had no idea that the scythe of death was already hanging above their heads. Jin Zhenghe looked deeply at the Japs, with a straight face, and looked at Xiao Ge. He shouted in a deep voice: "Quickly, ask the Chief of Staff to send out all the anti-virus measures immediately, and also spray the entire area with anti-mosquito spray immediately."
Although Xiaoge and the others did not have telescopes and could not see clearly what was going on at the bottom of the mountain, they also knew that all the Japs there had been wiped out by man-eating mosquitoes. They obviously did not expect that the small man-eating mosquitoes could be so terrifying, so they all His little face was pale and his heart was beating wildly, and he was all frightened.
Fifteen minutes passed, when the dark clouds of man-eating mosquitoes began to invade the mountains, a soldier of the National Independence Army finally saw them. Even though he had been injected with stimulants and became bold, the Nanyang monkey screamed in fright, and then, he As if his butt was burned by fire, he swooped towards the mountain like a headless fly.
The Nanyang Monkey's final fate was of course to be shot to death by the soldiers of the expeditionary force. Shocked by his abnormal behavior, the attacking Japanese army and the soldiers of the National Independence Army finally noticed the abnormality behind them. Then, under the attack of some Nanyang Monkeys, Under the influence, they immediately turned into a group of headless flies.
The next two hours or so were a hellish experience for the soldiers of the expeditionary force led by Kim Jong-hwa on the Xiaoling Highlands, because they not only had to block the enemy forces that suddenly became more crazy, but also resisted the killing of man-eating mosquitoes. The psychological impact of human beings.
When the enemy troops were no longer able to attack them and had all become prey for man-eating mosquitoes, many soldiers finally could not resist the invasion of the hellish scene in front of them. Many people immediately vomited, and some People collapsed because they could not bear the psychological pressure, and became the biggest cause of attrition for the defenders in this battle.
"Do you know what we were most worried about at that time? We were afraid that the mosquito medicine distributed on the mountain would not work, and we were always worried that those mosquitoes would fall on us... I can't describe what I saw at that time. It's horrifying to think about it now. You can think of it I want to see a person's body suddenly covered with hair, covered with mosquitoes, and then turned into a skinny skeleton under the bite of these mosquitoes. I can't talk about it anymore, I can't talk about it anymore, I will vomit if I keep talking..."
These are the words of an expeditionary soldier of Kim Jong-hwa's brigade when he recalled the battle in the Shorim Highlands a few years later. It is said that the reporter who was responsible for interviewing him at the time developed mosquito phobia after returning home, which means that mosquitoes are particularly hard to see. This can be seen At that time, the killing of human-eating mosquitoes in Xiaoling Highlands had a huge psychological impact on the soldiers of the expeditionary force of Kim Jong-hwa's brigade.
