Chapter 515: The Expedition Mission Fails

"Company commander, there are no more living people." The second platoon commander came to Sun Cai to report here.

Sun Cai said solemnly: "Pass the order, scatter the people around to find it, and never allow a living mouth!" ”

"Obey!"

The second platoon commander turned around and went to convey the company commander's order.

The whole company searched all around, and found not a single barbarian, Sun Cai was relieved to let the troops rest in place, he did not forget to set up a sentry post, and then ordered a platoon of soldiers to clean up the scene and bury all the dead.

It was getting late, and the soldiers who had been busy all day were so hungry that a platoon leader asked Sun Cai: "What are we going to do next?" ”

Sun Cai said: "This is a good place, relying on the mountains and water, and we suggested to the regiment headquarters to build a supply depot here." ”

The platoon leader agreed, "It's a good place indeed." Company commander, the soldiers have been busy all day, are they camping here? ”

Sun Cai nodded in agreement: "I have this intention, order the troops, bury the pot to cook, and camp on the spot!" ”

The soldiers had been camping all the way, and it was already a luxury for them to be able to live in a wooden house today, not to mention being able to eat a steaming meal.

Piles of bonfires were lit on the outskirts of the village, not to warm the soldiers, not to light them, but to drive away wild beasts.

When it was completely dark, the village looked unusually eerie, and the wolf howls outside the village were terrifying.

The wolves must have smelled the dead, so they gathered, because there were so many bonfires outside the village that the wolves did not dare to approach the village.

Although the wolves did not dare to approach the village, the soldiers did not dare to sleep, and they all waited for the dawn with their eyes wide open.

The more I looked forward to the dawn, the more I felt that the night was long, and the wolves howled all night outside the village, until the east saw white, and the daunting howl gradually faded away.

Sun Caiye also didn't sleep all night, he cheered up, walked to the edge of the village, and followed him in a long row without leaving an inch.

"Company commander, where did these wolves come from?" A long line asked.

Sun Cai said angrily: "How do I know? These wolves howled all night, and that sounded like a lot. ”

A long row said: "Yes, there are hundreds of them." ”

"Are you going to be able to get out of the village?" Sun Cai asked.

The platoon leader affirmed: "It's dangerous, there are so many wolves, we can't fight them." ”

"Let's go back to the village."

When the two returned to the village, Sun Cai saw that most of the soldiers were listless, so he ordered the whole company to sleep during the day in batches.

If they can't get out of the village, their situation will become more and more dangerous, and Sun Cai realized this, and he sent a report to the regiment headquarters to report the situation here and ask for more troops to rescue them.

Gao Junshan, who was on the battleship "Jinling No. 1", also received news from Sun Cai, and he sent a report to the Third Regiment, strictly ordering them to rescue all the members of the First Company.

Gao Junshan was looking at the map in the war room, and he said to Zhang Guoyuan, the commander of the Sixth Marine Division beside him: "We have not fully considered the difficulties of the expedition, and with their current equipment and numbers, we will not be able to deal with the cougar wolves in the mountains and wilderness. ”

"Mountain Chief, do you want to send more troops to the three regiments?" Zhang Guoyuan asked.

Gao Junshan said: "Let the expedition team withdraw and cancel this east-west expedition." Master Zhang, you go in person, you must bring Sun Cai and them back safely! ”

Zhang Guoyuan saluted Gao Junshan: "The students will go and pick them up." ”

Gao Junshan said: "We don't know the habits of these American wolves, we can kill as few of these wolves as possible, if we blindly kill them, it is very likely to attract more wolves." ”

Marven reminded Gao Junshan: "Father, do you want to send a report to Ma Jin and them to let Mo Qiufeng's battalion return?" ”

Gao Junshan asked, "Where is the Moqiu Wind Camp?" ”

"Probably this place." Marvin gestured on the map.

"They're moving pretty fast."

Marven said: "They have Indians who are familiar with the terrain as guides, and of course the speed of progress is much faster." ”

Gao Junshan pondered for a moment and said, "Let Mo Qiufeng stand by in place, consolidate the existing supply depot, and wait for my order." ”

Marven asked, "Father, are we going to send an expedition team again?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Of course it will be sent, but not now." There are still three months left until September, that is, in three months, a transport ship will come to us, and I have already ordered the Ministry of Military Industry that the first batch of new weapons they produce will be equipped with the 6th Marine Division first, and this batch of weapons will arrive in September. ”

Marven asked curiously, "After equipping these weapons, will you be able to deal with those wolves?" ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "When you see this batch of weapons, you will know how powerful this batch of new weapons will be." ”

The Ministry of Military Industry of China currently produces three new types of guns, one is a rear-loading smoothbore rifle, which uses smokeless gunpowder bullets, and this smoothbore rifle is being produced in large quantities; There is also a small-batch production rifle, which is a more advanced rifled rifle, which is mainly equipped for snipers and squad leaders; The third type is the machine gun, which can currently be produced as a hand-cranked machine gun with a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute.

Gao Junshan firmly believes that as long as the troops are equipped with these advanced weapons, it will not be a problem to deal with those American wolves.

Just today, Gao Junshan received the good news from the Academy of Science and Technology, and they developed an electric welding machine.

This is really exciting news, with the welding machine, the speed of military production will be greatly improved, especially the manufacture of warships and tanks, it seems that it is no longer a myth to build modern warships and tanks in three years.

Gao Junshan waited for the news of the expedition on the battleship, and it would take at least half a month for the rescue force sent to reach the position of Sun Cai's company, and Sun Cai and they were now nesting in the village and did not dare to go out, because there were more and more wolves around the village, and Sun Cai estimated that they were surrounded by at least five or six hundred wolves.

Gao Junshan was anxiously walking back and forth in the war room, and Liu Ru came to the door: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat!" ”

Gao Junshan stopped his steps and said unhappily: "It's time to eat again so soon!" ”

Liu Ru held a pocket watch in front of Gao Junshan: "It's time to eat, your majesty, see for yourself." ”

Gao Junshan glanced at it: "Oh, sure enough." We say that if you open the meal, you will have food. I'm worried about the expedition members right now! Will they be able to eat enough? ”
