Chapter 7 Broad River
Because the previous battle was so enjoyable, this group of people got a little familiar with each other, especially the military doctor, who seemed to really like Zhao Bankuo, chatting with him along the way, although it made him very impatient,
But I also indirectly learned about the situation of many team members.
Except for the leading soldier Xiao Daozi who was exploring the way, all the team members were from the New 38th Division. This group of people were all selected together by the division headquarters a month ago, and they were not very familiar with each other. Zhao Bankuo was the last one to join.
The team may have been filled in temporarily due to some reasons. The others have all been training together in Ramgarh for a week, so we have a little bit of friendship, but it's not deep.
The first uncle Cao Guo who was waiting for Zhao Bankuo in the bushes, his real name was Cao Zhengdui, he was a sniper. Because of his good marksmanship, he was usually so good that he was looked down upon by everyone except the captain.
Xiaodaozi, the pioneer of the Pathfinder, was an orphan. He was of mixed Burmese and Chinese descent. He was raised by the local indigenous people in Burma. Later, the Japanese army invaded Burma and his adoptive parents were killed, so he joined the army. He was originally a guerrilla detachment of a certain division of the Fifth Army.
He was separated from his troops during the great defeat, and then transferred to the New 38th Division. Perhaps because he was familiar with the terrain of Savage Mountain, he was recruited into the small unit and took on the important task of exploring the path. From what he said
In addition, it can be heard that Liao Guoren is his old superior, so Liao Guoren himself may have been in the guerrilla detachment before and was responsible for special tasks.
Four Eyes correspondent Wang Sixao is not very old. It is said that he came directly from the division headquarters. He knows the transmission code and English. Because he is an intellectual, he is a little distant from other people. The military doctor is also a bitch and likes to tease him, so Changmao always says
The military doctor had taken a liking to him. When Wang Sixiang was not holding a gun, he was very bookish, but when fighting, he was very ruthless. He would shoot prisoners, even the wounded, without hesitation. Therefore, although he looked like a fair-skinned scholar,
No one dared to bully him. In Changmao's words, normal scholars would die the first time they charged, and those who survived were all lunatics, so don't touch him.
As for that big guy, his name is Shang Huai. He sounds very gentle, but he is not gentle at all. People from the Northeast have a very bad temper, and they will let their father fuck their mother if they don't go their way. However, they are very temperamental and powerful, and they catch up again.
The army's rations raised this guy as strong as an ox. It is said that shooting him with a small-caliber pistol was like playing. He was definitely a good hand when handling heavy weapons, and he was definitely not mentioned in performing cover missions.
As for that Sichuan hairy one?
, called You Jing, he is really a blaster. When he was on call in Tengchong the year before last, he was treated to death by the military doctor because he had malaria, so he always troubled the military doctor when he had nothing to do. The military doctor talked about him with great disdain, maybe because of each other
The reason why he has a bad temper is that Changmao seems to have been transferred here. The military doctor is not sure about his previous identity. They are not even sure whether he was demoted for committing a crime or was specially selected because of the Belly Cow.
There is also a Yi nationality named Hassan, whose name is Guska. He usually doesn’t talk much and keeps a straight face all day long. Except for the captain, almost no one in the team has ever talked to him. His name and identity are unknown.
, can be said to be very weird.
There is also a big black man in the team who is half thin but not fat, and they call him Cao San. The military doctor said that this guy doesn’t look like much, but he is definitely not easy to mess with, because he is said to be related to a certain head of the military department, and he participates in this
This mission may be just to get some qualifications so that I can climb up the ranks. However, the military doctor said that although this person has a strong background, he is low-key. He usually only knows how to fight and eat, and he is a boss with no sense of existence.
As for the military doctor, I heard that he used to work as an orderly and medical officer with a field hospital in Tengchong. Later, he made a small mistake and was demoted to the frontline company. As for what the mistake was, Zhao Bankuo asked him, and he just smiled and stopped.
Mentioned.
After talking to each other, Zhao Bankuo realized that the group of people around him all had two brushes, and they were not fuel-efficient lamps. It was absolutely impossible to make these men obedient and merge into the same team smoothly.
A simple thing. If Liao Guoren wasn't a ruthless character who doesn't take soft and hard tactics, there would be no way he could lead this team.
Although the next section of the road is boring, everyone is very cautious, not only because they are worried about encountering Japanese people. When walking through a primitive forest like Savage Mountain, in addition to guarding against all kinds of insect bites and wild beasts, there are also
Always be careful of the swamps of void soil scattered under your feet. If you step over them if you don't pay attention, they may be swallowed up silently. Therefore, everyone tries to avoid being alone, and marches in sequence with the front foot pressed on the back foot. When encountering slightly soft grass, just walk directly
Go around. I walked around cautiously, stopping and stopping until the sun was about to go down, and then I saw that the woods in front of me became sparse.
Zhao Bankuo heard the sound of running water and took two steps. A river five to six meters wide lay in front of him in a spectacular manner. The rapid water washed away the vegetation on the bank, and the weeds and rotten grass upstream were crowded in the river bed.
You can see this
Several days of heavy rain were the main reason for the widening of the river.
Zhao Bankuo glanced at Liao Guoren. That weird map was really not written randomly. There was no such river on their own map, but it was on the American map, indicating that the river was formed in this year.
.In the Hukang Valley, where the water system is extremely developed, it is normal for an extra river to appear during the rainy season. This also means that the owner of this map passed through this river recently, at least after the rainy season was formed.
Looking at the river, everyone thought of many ways, such as swimming across it, but they were quickly rejected. Finally, Wang Sixao suggested: "Captain, would you like to build a raft?"
Liao Guoren did not answer, but frowned and looked at the river, not knowing what he was thinking. Wang Sixiang asked again, and then he silently shook his head: "No, there may be crocodiles here."
The Burmese crocodile is a very scary animal. Countless Chinese and Japanese troops died in the mouth of the crocodile in Burma. Therefore, in Burma, as long as there is a river near a river, there is almost no bathing. Even if you draw water, you will first go into the water.
Shoot a few shuttles. What’s even more frightening is that Burmese crocodiles not only attack in the river, but also often come ashore to attack humans. Who knows how ferocious the crocodiles in the deep mountains and old forests can be?
Guska, who had been silent all this time, spoke now: "Captain, look at the current speed of the water, even those things have been washed downstream. Except for maybe one and a half in the puddles and grass ponds on the shore,
There are no traces of these things coming ashore in the area where we are standing.”
What he said made sense. Liao Guoren didn't say anything. He waved for everyone to follow him and walked a few steps. He found a dry place and began to take out the American map to check. Then he took out a compass to compare the direction, revealing
With an incredulous expression, he said: "Strange, this map shows that there is a bridge walking upstream along the river."
Zhao Bankuo was immediately confused. This was a virgin forest. How could someone build a bridge here? Others also showed a look of disbelief. Changmao smoothed his hair and laughed: "This is his grandma's ghost."
Damn it! Is there a bridge? Then we might as well search carefully on the map and maybe we can find a kiln for hot baths."
