Chapter 2 Chasing Troops
Zhao Bankuo followed everyone's gaze and saw that there were very strange round bumps protruding from the human bones. At first glance, they looked nothing, but upon closer inspection, they were actually covered with black dirt.
The green ants were as big as a finger. Some were washed away by the rain and became motionless, and some were sucked tightly under the human bones, forming dark holes. After Zhao Bankuo saw them clearly, he suddenly felt his scalp numb.
, I thought the knife’s eyes were really poisonous.
"Oh my God, they're ant bags!" the big man shouted and quickly backed away. After everyone saw the truth about these earth bags, they all collectively took a few steps back.
All the expeditionary soldiers who came here talked about the ants in Savage Mountain. Although blood-sucking leeches are powerful, they still know where they are, and as long as they don't get involved, they will be fine. However, these long-mouthed black ants are much more powerful than leeches.
They usually hide in inconspicuous soil bags. If someone can't see clearly, they can step on them and slowly pull out their legs to become corn cobs. The most terrifying thing about man-eating ants is that they are extremely numerous and pervasive, specifically attacking prey.
The softest parts of the body, such as the eyes. This expeditionary force soldier probably accidentally stepped on an ant nest out of exhaustion, causing a swarm of man-eating ants to attack, and the whole army was caught off guard and destroyed.
The team members had all heard those members of the expeditionary force who had come out alive say how powerful these ants were. Looking at this scalp-numbing scene, they subconsciously imagined this human-ant war that had happened in the past, and they were inevitably frightened.
Now they no longer dared to touch those human bones, and under the heavy rain, there was no way to set them on fire, so they had to find some random branches, weeds, wet soil and loose mud to cover them up, and finished the job in a hurry, as a token of appreciation for their fallen comrades.
their respect.
After a while of fussing, the rain became even heavier. Liao Guoren looked at his watch and compass, and waved his hand to the knife: "It will take too much energy to walk any further. Find some big trees nearby that are okay, and everyone will go up the tree."
Let’s take a break in groups and wait until it rains less tomorrow before heading out again.”
Little Daozi nodded and jumped up the tree again. After a while, the sound came back. Everyone followed and saw that there were several huge and thick vine trees there. Little Daozi was lying among the branches of the trees and greeted them: "These few people are here."
It’s a nice tree. Come up here and cut off the canes that hang too low. It will be safe. In this weather, those little biting reptiles don’t come out very often. Everyone should look out for each other and everything will be fine.”
Their raincoats were soaked through, and the water vapor seeped in and made them extremely cold. Zhao Bankuo shivered and climbed up the tree with all his strength. He took out an oilcloth from his backpack and put it on his head, then took out a small bottle of white wine and drank it hard.
After a few mouthfuls, he sat down against the tree trunk.
This time when I went into the mountains, I knew that all actions must be completely under the command of the cold-faced captain, but I didn't know anything else. Since this kind of military operation is obviously to be kept secret, you can't pry or ask, you can only keep it privately in your heart.
Guess. This damn Savage Mountain has just been filtered out by tens of thousands of brothers from the Fifth Army. What else could there be that would require these ten of them to risk their lives?
Moreover, the team only has a few people. It is completely configured for a reconnaissance mission. It cannot be a strategic mission. There are only two people in total. If they really do it, they will all be destroyed in one shot. But if it is a reconnaissance mission, Zhao Ban
Kuo really can't think of anything to investigate here. In such a dense jungle, if the Japanese want to bypass the expeditionary force's defense line here, they must abandon all modern equipment and heavy weapons - that is courting death. If it is a slow and slow see-saw
If he pushed forward, the British plane would definitely find it. Moreover, he felt that it would be good if he could not get lost along the way.
Now, how can we talk about reconnaissance?
It's not reconnaissance, nor a strategic mission. What else can soldiers like Zhao Bankuo do in this kind of jungle? The heavy rain is pouring, and the extremely dense rainforest is as oppressive as a sauce vat. Zhao Bankuo misses the sunshine of Assam even more.
Having made good friends with those two little acquaintances, I am afraid they will never see each other again in this life. However, compared to the brothers who died here, he has nothing to express with emotion. Just like the people who taught them how to do business in Assam
The American instructor said: "In war, only look at the results, not the process."
Zhao Bankuo was squatting on a tree and thinking wildly, but he didn't notice that under the tree dozens of meters away from him, a group of figures were slowly and strangely moving toward their location like ghosts.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and a muffled groan suddenly came from the dark team. Although there was not much movement in the rainy night, it was still very clear. Zhao Bankuo jerked out of reflex and fired the gun in his hand.
He lifted it up, but before he could see the situation clearly, a person next to him shot him one step ahead.
Bang! The tracer of the bullet shot into the bushes below like lightning. Someone yelled: "There are Japs!"
Everyone's reaction was surprisingly fast. In an instant, tongues of fire shot out from all the branches around him. Gunshots rang out immediately, and grenades exploded under the trees. With the help of the flash, Zhao Bankuo was surprised to find that under him
Beneath the squatting tree, a group of Japanese soldiers wearing khaki clothes were dodging in all directions. Those who dodged more slowly would immediately fall to the ground with splatters of blood.
It was dark and blind. This group of Japanese soldiers who appeared out of nowhere obviously did not expect that the enemy was still hiding in the slippery tree, and they suffered a big loss. The team members on the tree relied on their condescension and weapons.
Sophisticated, they caught the Japanese soldiers off guard. But the Japanese soldiers were obviously well-trained. After a moment of confusion, they had already begun to rely on the cover of trees to fight back.
By this time, both sides had revealed their positions, and the firepower of the confrontation was entangled, refusing to give way to each other. The sound of cracking branches, the impact of bullets, and the grinding sound of the serial gun machine became one, and Zhao Ban was stunned.
Kuo's eardrums were about to explode from the shock. He gritted his teeth and cursed the ancestors of the Japanese while pulling the trigger hard toward the light under the tree. But those devils would change places after one shot. Although he
He occupied the ground and fired two rounds of bullets, but none of them seemed to be able to bite anyone.
With a bang, one of the enemy's bullets rushed to the top of Zhao Bankuo's head, and debris from the tree branches immediately flew to his head. He was startled, and quickly turned his gun and fired three consecutive rounds in the direction of the bullet.
, and then quickly crawled to the other side of the big tree.
The tree trunks here are relatively dense, and most of the team members are leaning here. Zhao Bankuo saw that the team member who fired first was holding an M1903 rifle with a scope, leaning against the tree trunk, and shot over.
One of the little Japanese fell to the ground. But this one stood out. Although the firepower of other team members continued, the killing effect was not very obvious. The Japanese's counterattacks after a long period of time were still very regular.
Zhao Bankuo stretched his head to take a look and found that the Japanese counterattack points were constantly changing. At this time, the "sharp shooter" was also "taken care of" by several Japanese rifles because he had knocked out more than five enemies.
, the space in the tree was limited, and the Japanese soldiers underneath were hidden, so the advantage of this person's accurate aim was immediately lost.
There was a click, and Zhao Bankuo's Thompson submachine gun jammed at this moment. He cursed secretly, and quickly turned around to change the magazine. As soon as he pulled out a new one, he heard a whistle in his ear.
Called. He looked up and found that the barrel of a team member's gun was stuck on a branch and he was struggling hard. This brother probably played too hard and forgot where he was. He actually turned around according to his usual routine, which caused a lot of damage to his body.
He raised it too high, and the barrel of his M1 carbine was so long that it hit a three-branched branch that was poking diagonally. As soon as he lost his center of gravity, his whole body fell forward, resulting in a funny posture.
, the whole person was hanging in the air, all because the gun in his hand was hanging on the branch, and he couldn't move while hanging there.
The Japs under the tree were worried about not being able to find the enemy. Suddenly they saw a lot of movement in a tree and a black shadow hanging in the air. This gave them an eye-catching living target, and bullets were fired at him in an instant.
It flew past the hanging place, and the roar was shocking. Fortunately, it was dark at night and the tree was high, so the bullet had no accuracy and only hit the branch above the person's head.
Zhao Bankuo saw that the team member who had just had a brush with death was still struggling with his gun. He couldn't help but cursed and rolled directly along the branch, swept him with a sweeping leg and tripped him, and then faced up again.
He kicked his M1 carbine down, then grabbed it and threw it to the man's chest, then pulled his clothes and hid behind a tree trunk. Remembering that his submachine gun was not loaded, Zhao Bankuo casually pulled it again.
The gun bolt, and then he had time to curse at the team member: "It's not your damn gun, you girl, are you going to die?"
Only then did this man realize that he had just done something stupid, and he nodded hurriedly at Zhao Bankuo, mumbling without knowing what he was talking about. Zhao Bankuo had no time to talk nonsense with him, and the tense atmosphere had already caused him to
It turned into a fighting machine, and the submachine gun started firing again.
By this time in the battle, the secrecy of the thick branches was completely lost, the geographical advantage could no longer be taken advantage of, and the small activity area limited their attack range. Although a group of team members had advanced weapons and were brave and fearless, the Japanese were temporarily
They still couldn't attack, but seeing that the enemy's single-shot fire kept going off, the number of the enemy was still unknown, and they didn't know if there were any follow-up troops. As time went by, and the issue of ammunition consumption comparison came out, the result was really hard to say.
Liao Guoren saw clearly and made a decisive decision: "We can't be reluctant to fight, retreat quickly!"
After giving the order, several team members quickly turned over and threw grenades downwards. It seemed that there was a tacit understanding. With a burst of explosions, the gunfire of the Japanese was much sparser. Zhao Bankuo felt relieved. It seemed that this group of people, except for the two hundred and fifty just now,
In addition, their combat literacy is very high. They are obviously veterans who have experienced many fierce battles. It seems that the cooperation that they were worried about before will not be a big problem. At this time, the big man squatting on the branch next to him seemed to be fighting.
De Xingxing shouted: "You go first, I will cover you!"
After saying that, the big man actually stood up and proudly held a Czech light machine gun in one hand, tilted it on the tree trunk and fired fiercely in the direction of the Japanese army. Zhao Bankuo was also affected by the emotion and stood side by side with him.
He also picked up a gun and started shooting. Just after firing a bunch of bullets, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his back and almost fell off the tree. He subconsciously prepared to shoot back with his gun, but he saw Liao Guoren's fierce face.
It turned out that Liao Guoren saw that he was too involved in the fight, so he kicked him and cursed hastily: "Damn it, get off here!"
Zhao Bankuo came back to his senses. The captain clearly said that he could not be reluctant to fight. The big man was obviously responsible for breaking up the rear. Why was he joining in the fun? He hurriedly slipped out of the tree, but when he saw it, he thought it was too bad. It turned out that he was too late.
