Chapter 234: Honey

The jungles of northern Myanmar have long been known for their treacherous and treacherous nature, and the jungles themselves are a formidable and formidable foe, with vast turbulence creating impenetrable natural barriers and mountains clinging to the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain range.

The local climate is changeable, ten miles of different days, from high temperature to monsoon rain, and the local special geographical environment: swamps, wetlands, ravines, jungles, etc. provide an ideal habitat for mosquitoes, leeches, ants and insects, etc., constituting a net of heaven and earth.

A team of wandering spirits walked into the vast primeval forest full of wildness, bits and pieces of sunlight spilled on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, and the stench of falling leaves and rotting tree trunks emanated from the feet of people, where was the road? Where is the end? What lies ahead? What awaits them? I don't know.

The road was okay at the beginning, but in Myanmar in May, the scorching sun baked the forest and the earth like a steamer, and the forest was so stuffy that people were suffocated, and sometimes, all of them were so hot that their clothes were close to their bodies, and their mouths were dry and bitter due to excessive sweating, and the root of their tongues was attached to the palate, and their throats could erupt with fire, but at night, the temperature in the forest dropped to three or four degrees Celsius, and the cold wind was biting.

The march was getting slower and slower, and the soldiers were stumbling and crawling, sometimes walking less than a dozen miles a day, and the forest was getting denser and denser, and they had to use machetes to open the way while walking, which was very difficult, and the rotten things on the ground were getting thicker and thicker, and the roads were getting narrower and narrower, and sometimes they could only move forward by pulling the trunks of trees, or even crawling on all fours, whether up or down.

Every step is very difficult, and the way down the mountain is even more difficult, and there is always a danger of breaking bones, and sometimes there is no way out; Ravines, swamps, steep slopes, etc., sometimes only take a "Z" or "S" shape, or even have to change the route and walk around the forest all day.

Sometimes the fog in the forest is vast and the visibility is only one or two meters, often looking ahead, not taking care of the feet, taking care of the feet, not taking care of the head, some people fall into the cliff, some people roll to the bottom of the valley, some people are bitten by leeches on the tree, poisonous snake bites, mosquito bites, ant bites...... The danger comes from the earth, the sky, the trees, the four directions, and the whole mountain, so that you are overwhelmed, there is nowhere to hide, and there is no way to escape.

At night, the primeval forest is even more terrifying, those mosquitoes hiding in the grass during the day rush to the face, the giant mosquito is the size of a dragonfly, and it makes a low buzzing sound when flying, countless giant mosquitoes are like bombers of the size of the division, no matter how to drive away, its sharp and hard long mouth immediately pierces the human body, in a few seconds, these shriveled giant mosquitoes can fill their bellies into a bright red blood cell, and the place where they are stabbed immediately starts a big bag, and it will not disappear for a few days.

In the night, the vampire bat also flapped its fleshy wings, flew around overhead, and pounced on people when they were not looking, sucking human blood with their sharp beaks, and as long as they were bitten by it once, they would be weak for several days. At this time, the miasma of the local mountain people and the diseases caused by mosquitoes began to spread among the procession, and many people fell on the way, and people began to panic.

More than half of the journey was still under the way, some troops began to run out of food, and the horses were killed, and the road ahead was even more difficult, and the unusually low morale spread like a plague among the ranks. Stuffing your stomach with wild vegetables, wild fruits, tree bark, grass roots, etc., filling your stomach with cold water, you are dizzy with hunger, your eyes are full of gold stars, your legs are trembling, and some people eat dead human flesh in order to survive!

Once Zhang Ziwen saw it, regardless of that unit, he would shoot it directly.

As a result of the ravages of hunger and disease, the physical fitness of officers and men has deteriorated dramatically, and the number of deaths has increased day by day. On the way, a very strong person will suddenly fall to the ground and moan, tremble, tears, but as long as he lies on the ground for half an hour, it will be automatically eliminated, and the patient will get up and continue to walk by himself, just vomiting for a while, the whole body is weak, and after seven or eight hours, there will be another attack, this attack is more serious than the first time, if you do not get the timely treatment of special drugs, the interval between attacks will be shorter and shorter, the condition will change quickly, the physique is weak, after three or four attacks, you will fall to the ground, or some people have a high fever, The whole body is hot and weak, the mouth is dry, and generally it can't survive for three or four days, or some have a low-grade fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and they don't stop all day, and they can't get up again soon.

After a month's walk, the guerrilla detachment's food had bottomed out, but it was trapped in the mountains.

Six hundred people were reduced in one month, and no less than 2,000 corpses were seen along the way, and the horror was not the lack of food but the disease and all kinds of creatures in the mountains.

Out of the guerrilla detachment, the other departments have been scattered by hunger, Zhang Ziwen has already walked to the front of the new 22nd Division, Liao Yaoxiang in order to protect his team had to walk slowly and leisurely.

Now the Japanese will not catch up with the fire that can be safely used, and there are not a few people who are not frozen to death.

It was noon, and the team had to stop to recuperate, because the weather was so hot that more brothers would fall on the forced march.

Now there are only 2,000 people in the whole team, including more than 100 wounded.

Zhang Ziwen felt that there were bees on his head, and when he looked up, it was sure that the huge hive represented no less than thirty catties of honey.

"Rao Xiangyun, find someone to get this honey down for me."

Thirty catties of honey can leave hundreds of lives at a critical time.

Rao Xiangyun immediately looked for a brother in the team who could climb the tree, but the tree was too tall and too big to climb at all.

Zhang Ziwen took off his hat and shouted: "Everyone get out of the way, blow him up with explosives, it's useless to keep explosives anyway."

The big tree is thirty or forty meters high, and if it falls and hits someone, it may not hurt one or two.

Sending people to plant explosives, Zhang Ziwen immediately evacuated the team to avoid being hit by a big tree.

Zhang Ziwen misses the noisy monkeys a little, how can they be easier to get than this honey, which guys in the 96th Division in front don't let go of anything, and they have made a lot of bark.

Not to mention the existence of birds and animals, he has seen the skeleton of an elephant several times.

If you don't get something to eat, you'll starve to death.

There was a huge explosion, the tree slowly fell, and Zhang Ziwen went straight to where the honey was.

Looking at the smashed honey and ignoring the bee bites, he didn't know what sweet taste was for half a month.
