Chapter IV
The march of the troops could only rely on traditional maps and compasses, and marching on foot was the main mode of marching in the mountains and forests, which was very difficult.
In the mountains and forests, you can't expect too much from the help you need to equip yourself with firearms.
Because of the harsh environment, the most effective way is to strengthen the training of combat personnel.
And this is still a relative explanation of the deep mountains and old forests in the Holy Spirit Country, and if you change to the mountains and forests in the Muwu Country, the harshness of the environment will only increase exponentially.
It is recorded in history books that during the war, the expeditionary force was forced to cross the mountains and forests of Mumu Province.
This mountain forest is more than 200 kilometers deep, the mountain is covered with giant trees, the shrubs and vines are extremely dense, there are groups of fierce beasts, poisonous snakes, malaria mosquitoes, and grasshoppers are all over the mountain forest.
The expeditionary force stepped into the mountains and forests, and the dark and unseen environment of the primeval forest was daunting.
The dense bushes did not see the road at all, and the overgrown weeds and dense vines made it almost impossible for the soldiers to walk, and the difficult march was stained dark red with blood.
The howl of the beast came from the darkness, and it was even more heart-wrenching, and the troops were plunged into endless panic.
Here, the dense woods block the sun, but not the rain.
The unthinkable and terrible things will also come in the mountains and forests, where the rainy season is overflowing, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, miasma, malaria are unpreventable, and each of them can cause fatal injuries.
Leeches burrowed into human skin through the cracks in their clothes, and wherever the soldiers walked, they were soon stained red with blood.
Not only that, but various deadly tropical diseases began to spread among the troops.
With no food and no medicine, the soldiers had to hunt for wild fruits, wild vegetables and even various herbs on their own.
This is destined to be a journey of death, and the expeditionary force has lost tens of thousands of lives in the primeval forest!
Suddenly came back to his senses, Lao Yuntou was still pointing the way ahead, Yunxiao followed closely, no, no, Lao Yuntou was not at ease.
Looking at the towering giant tree in front of you, the dense branches and vines obscured the sky and the sun, and even the sunlight was blocked, and at a glance, it seemed that even the air had turned green.
In this environment, don't think about anything beautiful, comfortable, or anything else.
All that's here is sweltering, humidity, the ubiquitous mosquitoes and thorns beneath your feet.
By identifying the various marks and footprints on the ground, stay away from areas where ferocious animals have been active.
Because the beast of hunger is brutal, they will attack any target it sees or finds.
Until the target escapes or dies, it is even more difficult to guard against a beast that knows how to lurk, so you must be cautious.
Don't look at Lao Yuntou with a shotgun, in fact, it also plays a role in self-defense and courage.
The lethality is really limited, and it's easy to say that a blow to a small animal or something is fatal.
But if it is a larger beast, being shot is not a fatal injury, but will stimulate its ferocity, but it is dangerous.
Fortunately, Lao Yuntou was not ambiguous, the satchel on his waist, Yun Xiao had seen it, in one of the mezzanines, there were several firecrackers wrapped in oiled paper, and there were several hemp thunderbolts outside.
These are good things, just light the cigarette and throw it, no beast is easy to use, just clip the tail and scare away.
If he is a little timid, he will be scared out of the feces and urine, lying there, and he will not dare to move.
Just when Yun Xiao was observing Lao Yuntou, he saw that Lao Yuntou's figure must be certain, "Bastard boy, good luck, look at the slope on the right side of the camphor tree, I saw this for the first time when I followed the mountain." It seems that you are also a blessed person. ”
Yun Xiao looked at it, ho, what a strong wild ginseng, and then take a closer look, six pin leaves! No wonder Lao Yuntou is so happy.
Old Yuntou was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yun Xiao stretching out his hand, "Slow down, grandpa, you have to watch carefully." "I saw a snake with a green back and a square black spot, and a bright red snake coiled around its neck and some distance behind it.
Lao Yuntou's old face turned red instantly, this just now was chattering all the way, chattering, and vigorously admonishing Yun Xiao to pay attention to this, pay attention to that.
I didn't think about it, this face hit too fast, snapped, and I was so hung that I was picked up by this poisonous snake.
The corners of Yun Xiao's mouth lifted, "Grandpa, this is a good thing, find some good wine and brew it for it, it will be a rare thing in the future." He stepped forward slowly, grabbed it neatly, and threw the poisonous snake directly into his shoulder pocket.
Lao Yuntou's eyes were straight, this technique, this speed, and this calmness, and he instantly felt that his age was really in vain.
"Xiaoxiao, are you an immortal in the sky? Old Yuntou was a little incoherent.
"It's all grandfathers who teach well, these grandfathers have taught me, and I have practiced a little more, practice makes perfect. "The old cloud head who is blocked in one sentence has nothing to say.
What else can I say about this? Saying that I don't have the skills to do this? Isn't that a loss of this old face? "Well, Xiaoxiao, grandpa is optimistic about you, continue to work hard, and strive to join the reconnaissance unit after joining the army, and fulfill grandpa's long-cherished wish for many years. ”
Lao Yun sighed for a moment, it turned out that when the old man first joined the army, he was deeply impressed by the vigorous movements and extraordinary combat skills of the soldiers of those reconnaissance squads.
It's a pity that the creation makes people, and the old man was transferred from the hygienist to the field hospital as the chief surgeon because of his superb medical skills. Since then, it has been far from front-line combat units.
As a soldier who is loyal to the army and full of enthusiasm, what a sad thing it is to be transferred from the front-line combat unit to the rear.
The steel spear that once used life protection was replaced with a scalpel, although he treated countless wounded patients with his own hands, saving the precious lives of countless soldiers.
But whenever I see the soldiers rushing to the battlefield after their bodies are healed, Lao Yuntou's eyes are red with envy, well, envy is real, and his eyes are red, and he is tired and stays up late.
Every time I recall it, I only leave a deep sigh, creating and making people, this success is also a medical skill.
This full of regrets is also an expectation and a hope when teaching and training Xiaoxiao.
But I didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly, just look at this child's calm temperament, fast and accurate skills, this is definitely a good material for being a soldier.
Lao Yuntou was so relieved, lowered his head and began to deal with the wild ginseng, with the wild ginseng as the center, drew a circle at a distance of 1 meter, and began to carefully clean it up with his hands.
