In the early morning, a sudden heavy rain disrupted the task of preparing the units for reconnaissance.

Chen Fei slept soundly in the command center, he never thought that the sound of the rain was like a sleep song, ticking, which made people very comfortable. As a soldier, Chen Fei knew that he was on the battlefield now, and any slack at any time could kill him and the independent division. He stretched and slowly began to get up and get dressed and get ready to wash.

"Division commander, this rain is too heavy, for safety, I asked all regiments to stop reconnaissance first, but the reconnaissance battalion of Watermelon still has to be dispatched, after all, we have to master the surrounding terrain as soon as possible." He Wenbin ran in in the rain.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "When did it start raining?" ”

"It was probably a little past last night." He Wenbin said.

"How are the brothers' quarters arranged? The Second Brigade is estimated to be a soup chicken. Chen Fei said with a frown.

"Who's to say it's not, but it's good that the terrain here is high and no rain has formed, otherwise, it would be really troublesome." He Wenbin said.

"Now that the situation has changed, let the engineer battalion work a little harder to cut down more trees, so that the brothers can have a shelter from the wind and rain." Chen Fei said.

"This is a top priority, everyone understands that the engineer battalion has been doing it for a long time, last night two soldiers of the Sixth Regiment were broken by unknown thorns, and they are still unconscious, and Doctor Sun is helpless now, and he doesn't know what to do." He Wenbin said.

Chen Fei frowned and said, "Tell Zhu San to take a look, he knows a little about Chinese medicine, maybe there is a way." ”

He Wenbin patted his head and said, "Yes, I didn't expect it." With that, he ran out of the headquarters.

After Chen Fei finished washing, he sat by the window, looking at the dense raindrops outside, and his heart became irritable again.

"Commander, drink some porridge." Lao Zhangtou came over with a bowl of white porridge and a small plate of mustard.

"Any more rice?" Chen Fei said.

"Yes, yes, there are more than 30 catties, I specially brought it, I know you like to eat rice." Lao Zhangtou said immediately.

"Well, in this case, you can make some porridge for the wounded, and it is better to put some meat and eat it all." Chen Fei said while drinking porridge.

"Ah, this ······ This ······ Division, this is for you, as the old saying goes, a snake can't be headless, what do you have to do, then Zhao Liu, they won't kill me. Lao Zhangtou said anxiously.

"No, the wounded are important, what can I say about some things, our independent division is in trouble now, how can we get through it? The two words 'unity', the brothers are all looking at it, understand? Chen Fei looked at Lao Zhangtou seriously.

"Hey~ I know, you don't have to be like this, the brothers are of the same heart." Old Zhang Tou said.

"Hehe, with this white porridge, it's even more unified." Chen Fei said with a smile.

In fact, without these white porridges, the independent division is also united, but Chen Fei doesn't want to make his own food.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Chen Fei lit a cigarette. Suddenly, he remembered his family, parents, children, He Wenjuan, Guan Lu, and two sisters, which made him very sad for a while.

"We thought we were adapting to the fact that we could fight in this jungle, whether it was preparation or training, but we didn't expect that there were still so many difficulties." The old steamed bun came in and said.

"Now that it's in, go get over it." Chen Fei didn't raise his head and said.

"I'm worried that this foreign devil's method will not work, what if the plane can't find us, what if the devil frees up his hands to deal with us with all his might, you make up your mind, I will definitely support it, but you also have to think about many problems." Old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Report." The commander of the first battalion of the fifth regiment ran in.

"Say." Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, 132 brothers of the 5th Army have been found in the southeast direction." The commander of the first battalion said.

Chen Fei got up and said, "Is there a chief?" Bring one and I'll ask. ”

"A platoon commander is dying of hunger and is eating porridge, so I'll bring him over immediately." The commander of the first battalion said.

"Okay, as soon as possible, I want to know the movements of the 5th Army." Chen Fei said.

The commander of the first battalion saluted Chen Fei and immediately went out.

"I don't know how many lone soldiers have fallen behind in this area, and if we don't find them in time, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will be swallowed up by the forest." Old steamed bun said.

"It's impossible for us to send our brothers to search on purpose, we can only rely on luck, but ask the scouting brothers who go out to pay more attention, even if they are dead, it is best to write down their names and bury them." Chen Fei said.

The old steamed bun nodded.

After a while, the commander of the first battalion came with a second lieutenant covered in tatters and with a stinking beard and hair.

"Senior Commander Chen!" The second lieutenant platoon commander saluted Chen Fei.

Chen Fei returned the courtesy: "Tell me what is going on with you?" ”

"Division Commander Chen, I am a guard regiment directly under the 5th Army, our 5th Army has been in the past for six days, we were attacked by a small group of devils not far away, my second battalion is to block the devils from going, I didn't expect it to be scattered in just three or four hours, and if we don't touch you again, our 100 people will starve to death." The second lieutenant said.

"The guards have all gone to block it, you Chief Du ······" Chen Fei smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, in fact, his own independent division was not the same.

"What is the situation of the 5th Army now?" Chen Fei thought about it and said.

"The bomb is running out of food, mainly because Chongqing cannot be contacted, and the radio stations are damp." The second lieutenant said.

"And they know the way?" Chen Fei was puzzled.

"No one knows the way, so follow the compass." The second lieutenant said.

The situation was the same as that of the independent division, Chen Fei and Lao Mantou glanced at each other.

"Has Chief Du considered retouching it somewhere?" Old steamed bun said.

"Think, why don't you want to, the brothers are too tired to do it. It's just that I can't find a good place, Sir Chen, this place is absolutely gone, how did you find it? The lieutenant asked rhetorically.

"We're lucky, too." The old steamed bun replied.

"Didn't you look for something, like hunting hares or something, and starving like this, didn't you wait to die?" Chen Fei said.

"We also fought, but we couldn't, it rained a few days ago, and it didn't rain yesterday, and the brothers didn't dare to go out, there are swamps, poisonous snakes, tired of walking, as soon as you sit down, a butt of leeches, you don't know how to die." The second lieutenant said softly.

"Our battalion commander was bitten to death by a poisonous snake that came out of nowhere." The second lieutenant said softly again.

Everyone was speechless, suffered a defeat, and died in this savage mountain, which really makes people depressed and depressed, this kind of mood, I haven't experienced it personally, I can't say it, the problem is that I have to face the next few days.

The crowd was silent······

"Thank you for your hard work, first battalion commander, arrange them into your battalion, and the second lieutenant will break out together next." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, everything is up to the master." The second lieutenant said excitedly.

As soon as the battalion commander took the second lieutenant away, the old steamed bun immediately said: "We have to build this place into a safe area, at least it can be protected from the invasion of wild beasts, and secondly, it can block the sneak attack of the devil's small army." ”

"It's raining like this, we can't do anything, you talk to the sapper battalion and see what can be done." Chen Fei said.

''Okay, I'll go right away.'' The old steamed bun said.

The rain kept falling, and there was no intention of stopping, and the soybean-like rain made the engineer battalion have no choice but to cut down trees and rattan first, and then build barracks when the rain stopped.

"Lao Guo wants to think of a way, the brothers can only use banana leaves to hide from the rain, what should I do at night?" The old steamed bun ran to the engineer battalion and said to the battalion commander.

"Hey~ This rain is too big, I can't drive piles, and the barracks can't be built at all." Guo Xiangwei said in frustration.

"If you can't drive a pile, can you dig a hole? It's okay to sleep in a cave. The old steamed bun said.

"No, old steamed bun chief, there is no drainage, such a heavy rain, I drowned in the middle of the night." Guo Xiangwei said.

"What then? You can't sleep with a plantain in your hand. "Zhao Dadao hits.

"Or ······ Do you want to build a house on a tree? Guo Xiangwei suddenly remembered.

"Building a house in a tree? Will it work? Brothers, as long as they have a shelter from the wind and rain. The old steamed bun said.

"Okay, it's no worse than on the ground, you don't need to drain water, how did I forget such a good way, brothers, there's a way." Guo Xiangwei shouted happily.

"Okay, if there is a way, I'll ask the brothers to cooperate." The old steamed bun immediately agreed.

The most in the forest were tall timbers, which were densely arranged around the perimeter of the camp, and for a moment, except for the vigilance troops, all moved.

Chen Fei Command.

"Lao Guo's method, it's just that if the devil sneaks up, there is no detour in the tree." Zhu Guowen said to Chen Fei worriedly.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "Then make more fuss on the trees, the trees are connected, you can walk on them, you can fight, and when the weather is clear, dig a bunker under the tree, cooperate up and down, as long as the devil's heavy artillery does not come, you can confront the devil." ”

"Yes, I don't believe that the devil can transport heavy artillery here." He Wenbin next to him immediately said.

"It's a lot of work, we're going to take root here." The old steamed bun smiled.

Chen Fei looked at the pouring rain outside, as if he was a little distracted. Everyone looked at him and didn't speak, for fear of affecting Chen Fei's thinking.

After a while, Chen Fei spoke: "We can survive in this primeval forest, not only do we have to deal with the sneak attack of devils, but I am worried about food, after all, we have a lot of people." ”

"As soon as the rain stopped, I immediately organized my brothers to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms, there are a lot of things to eat here." Lao Zhangtou said immediately.

Chen Fei shook his hand and said, "I'm talking about salt."

"Salt?" Everyone was surprised.

"There is no salt in the forest, where there is salt there will be no forest, salt is needed, and you have to get out of the forest." Zhu Guowen said.

Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, everyone knows that without salt, it will make people lose their appetite, weakness in their limbs, dizziness, etc., and in severe cases, they will be nauseous, vomiting, unable to see, and finally lead to death, which is common sense.

"I still have half a bag there, and each regiment estimates that there is also a little, which should be able to last for more than ten days." Old Zhang Tou said.

"Eat more wild vegetables, the brothers will have no strength, and it's the same if you don't have salt to eat, and when the time comes, you don't need to shoot the devil, we'll fall first." Chen Fei was worried.

"Yes, it's too tiring to march for days, and it's a problem to have no nutrition." He Wenbin said.

"Therefore, there are many problems, whether we can overcome them one by one, whether we can survive depends on our creation." Chen Fei smiled helplessly.

"If the indigenous people can survive here, so will we." He Wenbin said.

"Haha, yes, it's useless to say a thousand things and ten thousand, since you stay, there must be a way." The old man smiled.

"Report!" Watermelon came in.

"Well, the sand table is ready?" Chen Fei asked.

"It's about the same, come in and let the division commander take a look." Watermelon said as she let the warriors outside carry the big sand table in.

The sand table is more than one meter long and about 80 centimeters wide, and the headquarters is full at once, and everyone can only stand around the sand table.

"It's so big, and the terrain around here is all there?" Zhu Guowen said.

"It's still empty in the northwest, and the rest is on it, and it will be marked here tomorrow." Watermelon pointed to the sand table.

Everyone looked at it carefully.

"We're on a slope, no wonder there's no water at all in such a heavy rain." Old Zhang Tou said.

"The terrain around is also undulating, but the mountains are high and densely forested, and it is difficult to survey, and the terrain here is 5 miles away." Watermelon Road.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Well, it's very good, and then you can make this sand table more refined." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

"Wait a few days, expand this headquarters a little more, this space, it's difficult to turn around." Zhu Guowen said.

"Let's just order it, the engineer battalion outside is working day and night, and it's really hard for them to rain so hard." Old steamed bun said.

"I see, you have to ask Lao Guo for credit, the most tiring work of our division, the engineer battalion has done it." He Wenbin said.

"Well, when I contact the Military Commission, I will promote Guo Xiangwei by two levels." Chen Fei said.

"Hahaha······" The crowd laughed.

The greatest style of the independent division is to be able to laugh in the most difficult times.

For three days, the rain continued to fall, but fortunately, the engineer battalion and the regiments worked together to build rows of houses among the trees, although they were still very simple, but they could shelter from the wind and rain, and the soldiers could finally sleep peacefully.

Chen Fei has always believed that if the soldiers can eat and sleep, they will be able to have combat effectiveness, and now that the accommodation is solved, the next thing is to find food, but it has been raining, and I really don't know when it will stop.

He Wenbin ran into the headquarters like a gust of wind, and brought in a lot of rain, he patted the raindrops on his body and said: "Damn, I don't know what can stop this rain, and my clothes haven't dried in the past few days." ”

"You, don't run away, come, bake the fire." Chen Fei said.

The headquarters was the largest house of the original natives, and it was a pleasure to have a dry smell in the room, which was filled with a dry smell in this weather.

"Huh~ Where did you get the sweet potatoes?" He Wenbin saw the sweet potato next to the brazier and immediately said.

"Oh, the old man dug it outside, you can eat some." Chen Fei said.

"Hmm." He Wenbin sat down and ate as he spoke.

"Report!" Watermelon ran in.

"What's the matter?" Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, here in the south and here, the devil patrol team has been found, and it is estimated that there are nearly two hundred people in total, and they are approaching us." Watermelon said as he pointed to the sand table.

Chen Fei nodded, looked at the sand table, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, wipe out these devils, Sanmao, bring the guard battalion, and notify the bison to bring the spy battalion." ”

"Ah, I'll go, I'll go, you wait for the news." He Wenbin got up and said.

"No, you stay, we didn't come for three hours, take the teaching team to pick up." Chen Fei said as he picked up the Thomson submachine gun and took the watermelon out.

Before He Wenbin could react, as soon as he saw Chen Fei leaving, he immediately swallowed the sweet potato three times and five by two, and said to the orderly soldiers outside the door: "Call the deputy division commander to come to the headquarters." ”

To the south of the camp was a primeval forest, with huge trees and rattans entwined and layers of leaves covered with thick mud, which was impermeable and dim.

"Tick Tick Tick~"

The sound of rain makes you feel like you're still in this world.

Watermelon pointed to the front with his hand and said softly: "Commander, look, it's coming." ”

A few devils draped in branches walked slowly, cautiously, for fear of stepping on something.

"Sanmao, outflank left and right, don't let these devils run away, bison, do you see that big rattan in front? You lead your troops to ambush there, and as soon as the guns go out, another group of devils will come to reinforce them. Chen Fei said.

"Yes, yes." The two replied and immediately took action.

Thanks to the sound of rain as a cover, otherwise the troops would have stepped on the leaves and the movement was really not small.

"The first four are scouts, move fast with knives, don't use guns." Sanmao said to a few soldiers under him who stretched out their hands.

The soldiers nodded, it was not ordinary people who were good at reaching out in the guard battalion, doing this kind of work, they were familiar with the road, and they all drew their bayonets and prepared to do it.

It's close······ It's close······ It's closer······

Sanmao identified a target and suddenly struck, the action was very fast, stabbing the bayonet directly into the target's throat, and at the same time kicking off the rifle in the opponent's hand.

As soon as Sanmao moved, the other three fighters also made their own moves towards the target, without any showmanship, directly stabbing the throat and grabbing the gun, clean and neat.

Chen Fei saw it in his eyes and nodded. I thought to myself, the next time my scout must put his finger on the trigger, in this case, at least he can reflexively pull the trigger.

With a wave of his hand, Sanmao dragged the corpse of the devil to the side, and immediately seven or eight warriors came up with leaves to cover up the traces.

After completing the task, Sanmao nodded to Chen Fei and hid again.

After a while, a team of seventy or eighty devils came over slowly, and at a glance, they knew that they were also beaten by the rain like chickens in soup, and they looked exhausted.

Chen Fei raised his gun to aim, and the moment he raised the gun, Chen Fei felt that he was full of vitality again, and his damp body had been making him feel uncomfortable for days.

"Hit~" Sanmao shouted.

"Dada~"

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Gunfire erupted, shooting at close range, guns and guns were deadly, flesh and blood flying, and one-sided slaughter.

"Don't leave a living mouth, move fast, a company commander cleans the battlefield, fast! Fast! Sanmao shouted hurriedly.

As soon as the gunfire on this side stopped, the gunfire on the bison's side burst out.
