A delicious iron pot stew, a good night's sleep, the 66th Regiment had a very good start when it first entered the Tarot Basin, but this was just the beginning!

When the morning sun shines through the thick foliage of the camp, the campfire is still bright.

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

A large iron pot was already boiling, exuding a rich aroma, gently wafting through the forest with the morning breeze.

Smelling the familiar aroma, the soldiers hurriedly packed their bags and sprinkled laughter in the air.

At this moment, perhaps many soldiers are full of longing - it would be nice if there was such a road in the future!

However, it soon became clear to them that it was just a luxury!

After breakfast, the team moved out and continued to move in a northwesterly direction as planned.

Of course, the soldiers who tasted the sweetness naturally carried out a major purge of the wild animals along the way, causing the terrible beast roars to rise one after another.

"Bang...... Rumble ......"

As soon as he walked more than ten miles, the thunder suddenly rang out.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The rain followed, still dense and urgent, revealing a thick wild temperament, blocking the progress of the soldiers.

"This dog's day's rain!"

Under a rain shelter in the center of the camp, Liu Tianfu looked at the raging rain outside, and shook his head helplessly, "If this rain keeps falling like this, when will I be able to go out!" ”

"yes!"

Zheng Sanyang was also sighing, "There are more and more brothers who are sick......

With the existing combat strength of the 66th Regiment, the poisonous snakes and beasts are only the meat in the pot of the soldiers, but disease is a threat that cannot be ignored.

By the dim bonfire, Li Siwei sat under the root of the tree, smoking silently, his brows furrowed.

There is no medicine, and the injured brothers have to carry it by themselves, but God knows how long they can carry it!

"Captain! Regiment Commander ......"

At this moment, Chen Quande, who was assigned to take care of the wounded soldiers, rushed over with a rain cloth, his voice was anxious, "Go and see, Zhu Laosi is not good......

"Holy shit!"

Li Siwei stood up suddenly, and rushed out of the rain shelter, "Let's go!" ”

"Commander, ...... raincloth"

Liu Tianfu hurriedly took the rain cloth hanging on the side and followed out, but Li Siwei had already run away with the brother who came to call people.

The wounded brother was placed in the north-west corner, the highest of the ground, which was relatively less prone to water accumulation and drier.

In the camp in the northwest corner, shelters are scattered under the big trees, and the bonfires in the sheds are dim, and there is a faint moaning sound wafting out, mixed with the sound of rain, gently drifting.

"Bang ......"

Chen Quande rushed over with Li Siwei and went straight to a rain shelter on the left.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

Muddy water splashed everywhere he passed.

In the rain shelter, a bonfire was burning quietly, and a stretcher was placed under the big tree root facing the bonfire, Wu Ruolan and the two brothers were quietly surrounding the stretcher, and when they heard the noise outside, they turned their heads, and saw Chen Quande and Li Siwei rushing in hurriedly.

Although Chen Quande was draped in a rain cloth, his pants were mostly wet.

Li Siwei didn't even put on a rain cloth in a hurry, and his whole body was already soaked.

The two rushed into the shed and went straight to the stretcher, and the two brothers hurriedly dodged a way, revealing Zhu Laosi lying on the stretcher.

Zhu Laosi lay quietly on the stretcher, his eyes were wide open, but there was not much brilliance in his eyes.

"Family Joy ......"

Li Siwei squatted down beside the stretcher, looked at Zhu Laosi and shouted softly, but his voice trembled a little, "Dog's ...... Isn't it just a disease? Don't pretend to be cowardly! At that time in Hengshanling, you were so seriously injured and carried it over, this time, you have to carry it for Lao Tzu too......"

"Regiment...... long,"

Looking at Li Siwei in a daze, Zhu Laosi's eyes slowly gained a little more brilliance, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, "I didn't ...... Loading ...... Really carry ...... I can't bear it...... I...... I just want to...... Tell you...... You have to ...... To get out there...... Put my bones ...... Ashes ...... Sent home ......"

The voice gradually lowered, and Zhu Laosi still stared at Li Siwei with round eyes, but the look in his eyes was slowly dissipating.

"Hmmm......"

Tears have blurred his vision, but Li Siwei is smiling, "Don't worry, as long as there is a brother in the 66th Regiment who can go out, you can go home......"

Hearing this, Zhu Laosi's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't make a sound, his eyes slowly closed, and two tears had silently poured out of the corners of his eyes.

"Puff ......"

Li Siwei sat on the ground, still looking at Zhu Laosi in a daze.

"Four-dimensional,"

Wu Ruolan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help him.

"I ...... Nothing to do. ”

Li Siwei shook his head gently, stopped Wu Ruolan, stretched out his hand and felt for the cigarette tremblingly, still looking at Zhu Laosi and muttering, "Brother, if there is an afterlife, you must not be reborn in this troubled world......

On weekdays, the disease is invisible and lurks quietly, but once it erupts, the power can push the golden mountain and the jade pillar.

The troops trudged through the jungle during the rainy season, and there were no conditions to effectively control the spread of the disease.

Zhu Laosi died, sick to death.

The disease broke out, and the situation suddenly became extremely dire.

The hearts of all the soldiers were covered with a thick haze, and when they started again, no laughter could be heard in the team.

You must rush to Daluo as soon as possible, and only when you get there can you get medicine!

The soldiers no longer cared about the wild things in the forest, so they hurried away.

"Bang...... Rumble ......"

The afternoon thunder came as scheduled, and the team resounded one after another shouting and scolding, "God ...... dog day"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The heavy rain immediately fell, and all the soldiers had to hurriedly set up camp, build shelters from the rain, clean up the vines and leaves, and collect dead branches......

"Ah......h

An exclamation suddenly sounded in the dense forest on the west side of the camp, and then someone shouted, "Come on, there are people here...... is the brother of the expeditionary force......"

A high-pitched, hurried roar mingled with the sound of wind and rain, looming into the middle of the camp.

"Let's go!"

Li Siwei vaguely heard the roar, hurriedly put on a rain cloth, and rushed to the dense forest on the west side of the camp with Liu Tianfu.

Many brothers had gathered in the dense forest, and their eyes were all focused on the roots of a large tree.

"What are you doing standing stupidly?"

Li Siwei came in a hurry, and when he saw all the brothers standing in a daze, he suddenly became a little angry, "Hurry up and save people!" ”

"Commander,"

The brothers hurriedly dodged a way, their voices full of sadness, "I can't save ......"

"Uh......"

Li Siwei was stunned, and hurriedly walked forward, and saw the situation under the roots of the tree clearly, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

A corpse lay quietly under the roots of a tree, with only the white bones of Sensen left on its head and limbs, a few pieces of earthy yellow cloth remaining on its torso, and the exposed flesh and bones were covered with white maggots, black ants, and colorful flies and mosquitoes......

"Commander,"

Meng Fugui squatted in front of the corpse, holding a broken badge with a dead branch, and his voice was sad, "It's the brother of the infantry regiment directly under the new 22nd Division......"

"Captain Liu, they?"

Li Siwei leaned over and picked up a dead branch to drive away the flies on the corpse, "Is there anything ahead?" ”

"Tiangang has already brought people over, and there is no news for the time being,"

Meng Fugui hurriedly reported, "This is the northeast of the basin, and it stands to reason that it is not on the transfer route of the 22nd Division...... I'm afraid this brother has been separated from the troops. ”

Da Luo is located on the banks of the Hukang River in the northwestern part of the basin, and unless he got lost in the jungle, the brother's body could not have appeared here.

"Company Commander,"

As soon as Meng Fugui's words fell, a brother stumbled out of the dense forest, shouting as he ran, "It's still ...... ahead And so many ......."

"Lead the way!"

Meng Fugui hurriedly stood up, "Leader, you go back first, I'll take care of it......"

Before the words fell, Meng Fugui had already rushed out, "Brothers, come with me......"

"Heavenly Blessing,"

Meng Fugui hurried away with a group of brothers, Li Siwei stood up, looked at Liu Tianfu on the side, and said sadly, "Go and let the brothers of the engineer company make some urns!" ”

The dead are gone, and there's only so much he can do!

Or perhaps, one day he will fall in this boundless jungle, and then be burned by other brothers, and take his ashes out, bring them back to his country, and take them home......

It's cruel, but it's realistic!

At the beginning of the night, the rain stopped, Meng Fugui and his brothers hurriedly returned, and hurriedly reported to Li Siwei, "Commander, we found twenty-one more remains in front, and then continued to search westward, until we searched for five or six miles, and found nothing more...... All the remains found have been brought back, but some of the badges are no longer recognizable. ”

"Hmm,"

Li Siwei nodded, "It seems that this is indeed a team that has been separated from the big army......"

There is no light in the dense jungle, and if the troops are not equipped with a compass, it is easy to get lost once they enter it, and it is difficult to get out.

In the hazy darkness of the night, the reckless jungle showed its hideous silhouette, lying quietly in the Darrow Basin, as every rainy season night for thousands of years.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

Flowing water flows and sings softly in the depths of the forest.

"Twitter...... Twitter......twitter"

Noisy chirping insects hid in the shadows and shouted.

"Woohoo...... Whew......"

Occasionally, the violent roar of a beast is heard.

This is the night in the depths of the jungle, and although you can't see your fingers, it is full of life, and of course, it is also full of danger.

"Bang ......"

Heavy and chaotic footsteps rang out, and the light of the fire flickered through the crevices of the grass and vines, moving slowly upward from the hillside.

The line that came up was not long, and it looked like there were only fifty or sixty people, and the leader was a burly captain officer, who walked a little hobbly with this torch tied from dead branches, "Whew...... Whew......" and panting.

Suddenly, the captain's gaze froze and landed in front of the half-man-high boulder in front of him, and he suddenly froze and stood on the spot.

In the dim light of the fire, it could be vaguely seen that the boulder was oval-shaped, and its back was crawling with vines, like a giant turtle, and the first three stoves built with stones in front of the boulder were still vaguely the same as before, but the piles of ashes had already been washed away by the rain.

"Holy shit!"

The captain's officer saw a roar of rage, and rushed to the boulder in a frenzy, and raised his torch to shine on the stone wall on the right, his expression full of supplication.

The stone wall was cleaned very clean, without a trace of vines, weeds and moss, and a huge "ten" was engraved on it, painted scarlet, which stood out in the firelight.

Seeing the eye-catching word "ten", the captain's pupils shrank, his face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

The brothers in the back hurriedly followed, staring at the scarlet "ten" one after another, and there was no trace of human color on their already pale faces, "What's the matter...... Why did you come back again? ”

"Woo ......"

A soldier with a young face looked at the scarlet word "ten" and cried, "Company commander, what's the matter...... How so? Whining...... I...... We're ...... Obviously it's been ...... Moving forward! ”

Silence, deathly silence.

"Let's camp!"

After a long time, the captain officer sighed softly, turned his head, and smiled reluctantly at the brothers, "Brothers, have a good night's rest, and when the day dawns, we will continue in a different direction tomorrow...... Damn it, there's always a way to get out! ”

"That's it!"

Hurriedly a brother echoed, "Since God gave birth to such a forest, there must be a way to stay!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes,"

The brothers were in high spirits and echoed one after another, "Camp first, and continue tomorrow...... After walking for most of the day, the belly has already been attached to the back! ”

So saying, the brothers began to busied themselves in front of the boulder, looking for water, for wood, and for fire...... In a short time, the bonfires were blazing, and the water in the iron pot began to boil.

"Squad leader,"

A brother who was burning the fire turned his head and shouted at a sergeant with a vicissitudes of face, "The water is boiling......

The water is already boiling, it's time to get the rice!

"Come on!"

The squad leader turned his head and answered, and vaguely, the vicissitudes of life added a touch of vicissitudes to his face, and then walked over slowly with a steel helmet, the steel helmet ...... Only half of it was filled.

"Bang...... Snap ......"

The squad leader slowly walked to the iron pot, hugged the steel helmet in his arms, grabbed a handful of rice with his hand, and carefully put it into the iron pot, and then, after hesitating for a moment, carefully added a small half to it.

There are three mouthfuls of iron pot, but there is only so much rice!

"Squad leader,"

The brother who burned the fire happened to see this scene, and said hesitantly, "These two days...... The brothers all drank rice soup! ”

"Alas!"

The squad leader glanced at him and sighed softly, "Fuwazi, in two more days...... I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink rice soup! ”

After saying that, the squad leader turned around and slowly walked to the next iron pot, staggering, and his back was lonely.

Fu Wazi sat on the edge of the pot in a daze, looking at the water vapor rising from the pot, her nose was sour, and her vision slowly blurred...... I can't even drink rice soup!

However, as the old saying goes, "man is iron and rice is steel"!

If you don't have a full stomach, where can you have the strength to walk, and how can you go out? Why do you want to go back to China? How do you go home?

Unconsciously, Fu Wazi only felt that her eyes were hot, and two lines of hot tears had quietly fallen.

As the night deepened, the camp of the 66th Regiment was lit with fire, and the sound of snoring like thunder resounded through the camp, and then continued to drift deeper into the dense forest with the night wind.

In the center of the camp, in the temporary regimental headquarters, Li Siwei, Zheng Sanyang, Chen Huaili, Lu Quanyou and other major generals sat around a bonfire, still not sleepy.

"Starting tomorrow, the troops must slow down their march!"

Li Siwei's voice suddenly sounded, "The special service company and the company directly under it explored the way, paying attention to finding the scattered teams of friendly troops along the way, and inquiring about the wounded of our department...... Now it seems that the wounded of our department have probably been separated from the main force! ”
