Chapter 708: Suffering in the Forest
Lei Yunfeng led the cavalry team to quickly withdraw from the battle of intercepting and killing the reinforcements of the enemy Ikawa squadron, and frantically passed through the Gumo Ridge where the main force of the 54th Regiment was ambushed, and tied the war horse to a forest 500 meters away from the Gumo Ridge.
This forest is no more than 1,000 meters away from the base camp of the Japanese Army's 46th Wing, which attacked the eastern position of the 77th Brigade of the Western Route Army.
The cavalry team, which was temporarily composed of the 'Cheetah Commando' and the reconnaissance platoon, hid their horses in the woods at this time, and under the leadership of Lei Yunfeng, they touched the Japanese 77th Wing as quickly as possible under the cover of night.
At this time, it was already 2:50 after midnight, and the enemy and us on the Dongyuan battlefield fought bloody battles during the day, and did not stop fighting until more than 9 o'clock in the evening.
The commanders of both the enemy and us were afraid of being attacked by the other side at night, so they ordered their troops to strengthen the perimeter vigilance, and once they found that the enemy had taken the opportunity to sneak attack, they should block it with the most fierce firepower, and immediately send a large force to surround the enemy who was sneaking attack, and strive to annihilate it all.
The commander of the 77th Wing of the Inoue Yong Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, Sekiyama Hinaka Daisa, was lying on a simple marching bed covered with a military blanket, and he couldn't sleep with his eyes closed.
What he couldn't understand was why the 46th Brigade of the Western Route Army continued to hold on to its position in the east and could not attack for a long time after six days of fierce fighting, despite the lack of weapons and ammunition, the lack of food replenishment, and the lack of reinforcements?
In the Jinnan Mountains in August, although the weather was already a little cool at night, Guanshan Feizhong Dazuo, who was lying in the tent, still felt a little stuffy.
In particular, the wolf-like mosquitoes in the mountains buzz around and fly around and suddenly bite them.
As long as you are bitten by these poisonous insects, you will feel unbearable, and you can't wait to rip off the bite with a knife to eliminate the itch of the heart.
What's even more terrifying is that the mountain vipers will burrow into the tent at some point, making extremely difficult to hear sliding sounds, and as long as they are searched for and become the target of attack, they will suddenly pounce on it and bite it fiercely.
The soldiers of the army were full of complaints about being bitten by poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, and some of them were really unbearable, not only running around the camp, like deranged madmen, who could not stop for a while, stirring up the morale of the barracks and the morale of the army.
Guan Shan Fei Zhong Dazuo was already troubled by the delay in the military operation, and when he heard the chaotic sound of running outside the tent, Huo Di jumped off the improvised marching bed and rushed out of the tent with a command knife.
The combat staff officer in charge of the camping of the troops listened to the sentry report, and Guan Shan Fei Zhong Dazuo angrily rushed out of the tent with a command knife, so frightened that he dared to close his eyes and sleep? Panicked and rushed out of the marching tent.
"Guan Shan Dazuo, you haven't rested yet?"
"Bastard, why is there such a mess in the camp, you are the duty officer, shouldn't you give me a perfect explanation?"
"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, I have just inspected the guards and mobile posts around the camping unit, and I have not found any danger or suspicion, as for the noise of the riot coming from the camp, it is because the soldiers of the army cannot withstand the bites of mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, and they are extremely tired and unable to sleep, so they ......."
"Bastard, we are marching and fighting, not in the city of Yingge and Yan Dance, pass my orders, order the troops to go to sleep immediately, ensure the rest of the troops, and accumulate strength for the fiercest battle that is coming tomorrow, you understand?"
"Hayi, I will immediately convey His Excellency Dazuo's order to the major teams and squadrons."
"You have to tell the captains of the brigades and squadrons that if there is another disturbance in their brigade or squadron and they cannot rest properly, I will strip him naked and tie him to a tree, and let them be bitten by poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, only in this way can the riot be controlled."
The leaders of the major teams and squadrons of the 77th Wing received such a cruel order from Sekiyama Hinaka Daisa, and these Japanese soldiers, who had very strong military discipline, immediately quieted down. No matter how bad the bite of poisonous snakes and mosquitoes is, they dare not make a single noise.
This kind of compulsive order-controlled riot lasted less than an hour, and all the soldiers who were bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes were bitten by mosquitoes almost everywhere their skin was exposed, and it was difficult to control the inner irritability caused by this kind of disturbing itch.
The camp was in turmoil again, and the commotion was getting louder.
Guan Shan Fei Zhong Dazuo, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of commotion outside the tent, and he was so frightened that he thought that the enemy was taking advantage of the night to cover the strange soldiers to steal the camp, Huo Di turned over from the simple marching bed and stood on the ground, rushed out of the tent with a command knife and shouted in horror:
"What kind of work, is it ...... the troops?"
"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the officers and soldiers of the army are really unbearable to bear the bites of mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, some soldiers were poisoned and fell into a coma after being bitten, and most of the soldiers were irritable after being bitten, no matter how you explained the order to the soldiers, but the soldiers were only tortured by ......." The staff officer on duty carried a careful report.
At this time, the chief of staff, Ichiro Kameyama, approached and said to Sekiyama Hinaka Dazuo: "Your Excellency, the troops are camping in this damp primeval forest, there are too many mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, these deadly things are highly poisonous, once the soldiers of the army are bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes and are not treated in time, I am afraid that the troops will be greatly reduced." ”
"Kameda-kun, what do you mean, do you have a good way?"
"Guan Shanjun, if the troops want to get a good rest and avoid being attacked by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes in the woods, the best way is to immediately move the troops out of this forest and camp away from the woods, so as to avoid mosquitoes and poisonous snake bites."
"Kameda-kun, don't you know what time it is? It's half past two in the middle of the night, have you calculated how long it will take for the troops to move out of the woods? Will the troops that have not been rested for a long time still have combat effectiveness? ”
"Your Excellency Dazuo, my 77th Wing fought fiercely with the Chinese Army on the Dongyuan front line for six days, and the troops always slept in this forest for concealment and safety, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army were bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes every night and could not get a good rest, so the combat effectiveness was ......."
Realizing that if he persisted in this way, the troops would not cause major casualties on the frontal battlefield, and that the troops that had been bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes in this primeval forest would be attributed, and immediately ordered the troops to evacuate this damn forest within an hour.
The 77th Wing of the Japanese Army withdrew from the frightening primeval forest within an hour, and these devils, who had been bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, were like a group of driven dogs, frantically running out of the woods and running towards the wilderness not far away.
All of a sudden, the disciplined 77th Wing retreated out of the woods in a chaotic formation.
At this time, Lei Yunfeng, who led the reconnaissance squad to run quickly, found that a large force suddenly jumped out of the woods, he thought that the target was exposed and was surrounded by the enemy to eliminate it, so he was frightened and shouted in a low voice: "Pay attention to concealment and retreat quickly." ”
Withdrawing from Thundercloud Peak, which was less than 30 meters away, it was found that the Japanese army suddenly came out of the woods, not because they were about to be surrounded and killed, but as if a flood beast appeared in the woods and drove out this group of bastards.
After careful investigation, Lei Yunfeng shook his head and laughed in a low voice: "God help me, it turns out that the little devil must not be able to withstand the bites of mosquitoes and poisonous snakes in the woods, and there is no way to have to withdraw from the woods. ”
He whispered an order to the reconnaissance platoon commander beside him: "Send a scout back immediately, and order Li Guiyong to lead the cavalry soldiers to move closer to me with the fastest and most covert action, and arrange it quickly." ”
