Even though the officers and men of the New Han Army were well prepared, the deep penetration into the tropical rainforest of Vietnam still made the soldiers suffer. It also made all the sergeants aware of the horror of the rainforest, and knew that marching and fighting in these forests was not an easy task, and it was not something they could take lightly.

Fortunately, as soon as they entered the rainforest, they suffered a certain setback, so that the soldiers took it seriously and did not dare to have careless paralyzed thoughts. Everyone cheered up and conscientiously carried out operations in the forest step by step in accordance with the new tropical rainforest combat methods issued earlier in Donglin City.

It is precisely because of this that these somewhat proud soldiers of the New Han Army will not lose their lives recklessly when they encounter an attack by the natives in this tropical rainforest.

The officers and men of the 3rd Battalion of the 52nd Division of the 26th Army continued to search and advance deep into the forest. With the method of applying plant juice to the body so that mosquitoes no longer chase after them to bite, their actions are much easier. At the very least, it can prevent them from being bitten by mosquitoes and contracting the disease, and they will no longer have to endure the pain of itching. It also allows them to concentrate on searching for the plant species that Lewis needs.

It was terrible for the New Han Army to get serious. Every action can be said to be almost invulnerable, and of course, this is what Lewi requires them to do, only in this way can they survive in the rainforests of a foreign land full of dangers.

The third battalion, under the leadership of the battalion general Gao Chang, went to the battalion step by step, collecting area by area.

With the assistance of his lieutenant general, he first led his army to a landmark in accordance with the new marching norms. The main thing is to avoid areas that may be dangerous, such as areas where there is a possibility of forest miasma. Take advantage of a relatively safe high point first. Then take this landmark as the center point and let the sergeant below. Disperse out, radiate around, collect the area of a few miles or ten miles nearby, and then within the specified time, each team returns to report the results and situation of the collection, and after summarizing, marks the marks that have been collected in this area, and then goes deeper.

Collect teams. The smallest unit must have at least ten sergeants to act together, only in this way can they be sure that they can respond to any situation in the rainforest in a timely manner.

One sergeant, the chief mediates, and then every three people search and advance back-to-back, making sure that the three have a sword and shield soldier, and a guard soldier armed with a crossbow arrow. Another soldier is responsible for inspecting and collecting plants along the way to see if they are the ones to be sought.

The sword and shield soldiers, naturally, are to protect the soldiers around them, one is to beware of the bite of wild beasts, and the other is to beware of the cold arrow attacks of the natives in the forest. A vigilant soldier armed with a crossbow or bow. He is responsible for alerting the movement in the forest, and once there is a situation, he must alert the sword and shield soldiers to cover in time. The second is to use the bow and crossbow in your hand to launch a counterattack. Especially if there is anything wrong in the forest, it is up to him to find out in time. Pay special attention to the traps laid by the indigenous people in the forest.

And this soldier in charge of collecting plants. They usually carry a spear or a long wooden stick and a long sword or sword, and they also carry a bamboo basket on their backs. He first slapped the former master's jungle grass with a spear or a long wooden stick, this is to startle the grass and snakes, and first see if there will be dangerous animals in the woods and grass in front of him. In addition, he also let the vigilant soldiers see that there is no danger, and they will continue to move forward, so he will keep collecting and visiting different kinds of trees and vines along the way.

Every soldier of the New Han Army, they have their own responsibilities and tasks, it seems that the speed of such a step-by-step search is not fast, but if you calculate carefully, this method is the fastest, most efficient, and safer.

Among them, a team of 100 people searched a dense forest, and after confirming that this dense forest would not break out forest miasma, they found that the tree species in this dense forest were relatively similar, and felt that it was not necessary to collect them all, so they decided to expand the scope of collection.

A team of ten men entered the forest.

Speaking of which, in the forest, people really feel very small in it, because there are countless forest trees with lush leaves, some of which are as high as 100 meters, with branches and branches, and the leaves cover the leaves, covering the sky and the sun, making the forest extremely dark, making people unable to distinguish the time, and even more so that people can't distinguish the southeast and northwest.

But although the forest is dark, it is also colorful, with colorful plants, insects, and animals, making people dizzy, as if entering a fairy tale world.

Now, this team of ten people entered such a forest.

As they entered the forest, the sky darkened and a torrential downpour came.

This, too, is a normal phenomenon in tropical rainforests, where storms come and go.

After a while, the rain penetrated through the dense forest, wetting their clothes and armor, making their collection even more difficult. You know, there is no road in the forest, so they have to split a road to travel.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the New Han Army, who were in charge of the guard, noticed that something was wrong, that is, they saw that some animals that were originally hiding in the forest, such as monkeys, squirrels, birds, etc., seemed to be frightened by the heavy rain in this sudden storm, and they rushed out of their hiding places and fled to the forest without a clue.

Well, you know, they made some noises all the way through the forest, and if they didn't directly alarm the animals, they wouldn't have fled, especially the monkeys and other animals in the big trees, not only would they not run away, but they would look at them in the trees curiously, these uninvited guests, individual animals, and try to pounce on them. Along the way, however, they failed to cause too many animal riots that would not frighten them into fleeing from a forest.

"Chief, boss, what's going on. Why did those animals flee in all directions as if they had encountered something terrible? A vigilante reported to their commander in disbelief.

"What? Wait, recite our new code of conduct...... Wrong! Quick, eat some of the herbs above and light the smoke...... No way. The rain was too heavy to light. Hurry up and go back the way you came. Get out of this forest! Shi Chang was taken aback, and silently recited the code of conduct that they were required to memorize in Donglin City, which made him think of a possibility in horror.

While urging his brothers to flee back, he shouted: "It's a bit hot today, and now it's raining heavily, and there is a high probability that this forest will break out with a forest miasma, otherwise the animals that have been living in this forest will not escape." Those animals are born with a natural inspiration for danger. They must have a premonition that it is no longer safe in this forest, so they will desperately flee despite the heavy rain in front of them. ”

"Let's go!"

The sergeants' hearts were shocked, and they didn't dare to hesitate, so they turned around and fled.

The rain came and went as fast as it came, and it seemed to be a quarter of an hour or so, and the sky suddenly became sunny again, as if it had not rained at all.

The soldiers of the Shixin Han Army, who were desperately fleeing to the forest, occasionally glanced back. It really didn't scare them all.

That, in the originally slightly dim forest, at this moment, suddenly a thin mist of water dispersed, as if it was light smoke. Floating in the woods.

Of course, this is not the most important thing they see. Some monkeys or other animals were jumping and running from the trees, making squeaky noises that seemed to be a little frightened. They were in motion, as if they were suddenly attacked by an invisible force. They were dragged out of the air and fell into the forest with a crackle. In addition, through the dense foliage, you can also see some birds that have already flown in the air, they flutter in the air, as if they are trying to fly away, but they also seem to be pulled down by an invisible force.

Malaria! It must have been a miasma outbreak!

Ten soldiers, desperately fleeing in the woods.

The same situation also happened a lot in the forest, some soldiers of the New Han Army were able to escape in time, ran to the outlet, or lit some smoke in time to save their lives, but some soldiers did not have time to escape and were poisoned alive in the dense forest.

The ten soldiers, because they had gone too deep into the dense forest, did not escape fast enough, and when they saw some birds falling from the sky around them, they knew that they could not escape again.

Some sacrifices are really inevitable.

These natural disasters are irresistible by manpower, even if they have been predicted for a long time, and there are many preventive measures, but when they really come, some soldiers still can't avoid it.

Fortunately, not all of the officers and men of the New Han Army encountered such a natural disaster, and not all of the officers and men of the New Han Army failed to escape from the forest miasma in time.

Sacrifices in the face of such a natural catastrophe were inevitable, however, encountering the indigenous people of Vietnam, fighting with them, did little harm to the New Han army.

This is related to the fact that the officers and men of the New Han Army have faced up to it and acted as a battalion step by step. Of course, more importantly, the natives of this era, who were far behind the New Han army in all aspects. Including equipment and equipment, and the arrangement of various traps that cannot be guarded against, the traps of the indigenous people are easy to be seen through by the soldiers of the New Han Army, and they cannot receive the due killing effect.

Therefore, the indigenous people, except for being familiar with the forest terrain, being able to walk in the forest like flying, and making it easier to escape or hide, they really have no advantage over the soldiers of the New Han Army.

Among them, a team of soldiers of the New Han Army encountered the natives in the forest.

The first thing to discover was that the guards found a trap in the forest, and after carefully destroying it, they were attacked by the natives hiding in the forest.

There are not many indigenous people, that is, about a dozen. They were naked, and their lower bodies were only wrapped in some animal fur, screaming some babbling sounds that the soldiers of the New Han Army could not understand.

They first fired arrows at this team with bows and arrows, and then rushed out of the forest, attacking this team of the new Han army with rudimentary spears and other weapons.

What made the ten-person New Han Army team speechless was that the bows and arrows of these natives were so backward that there were no iron arrows at all, and their bows and arrows were all long arrows cut from some hard miscellaneous wood, which were quite heavy and sharp, but in comparison, their power was really much worse, and they couldn't shoot into the shields in the hands of the New Han soldiers, nor could they shoot through the armor on the soldiers of the New Han Army.

Only some unlucky soldiers, who are shot in unarmored hands and feet, will be injured.

Those natives, they shouted and slaughtered out of the dense forest, but the soldiers of the New Han Army cleanly cut off the wooden-handled spears in their hands, which made those natives extremely surprised, as if they had never seen such sharp weapons. When the soldiers of the New Han Army killed some of them again, the natives fled as if they had seen ghosts. This, when it comes to escaping for their lives in the forest, the soldiers of the New Han Army are really inferior to those natives.

However, the monk who can escape can't escape the temple.

After discovering the natives, they immediately sent a signal to let other Xinhan troops come to support, and at the same time, they would send some special operations fighters in the mountains and forests, so that they could follow the traces of the aborigines' escape all the way to the aborigines' camp.

Some of these Vietnamese natives have not been able to communicate with them at all, and they do not understand the language. Only a very small number of natives were able to communicate with the military guides of Zhongdong Forest City.

However, these natives are very xenophobic, and no matter how much kindness is shown to them, they are not willing to obey. They are very brute and will attack the soldiers of the New Han Army if they are not careful.

Also, they are really in a very backward state, some indigenous people, they don't know how to use iron tools, and they are still in a state of using stone knives.

When encountering some relatively murderous natives, the New Han Army will not be merciful. Especially for those natives who still retain the custom of cannibalism, not one of them remains, and they are all exterminated.

As for some, after the New Han Army showed goodwill to them, they were able to show their obedience, and the New Han Army did not kill more. Some of them will be selected as guides, and a group of relatively intelligent natives who seem to be receptive enough will be selected and sent to Donglin City, and this group of people will be trained to learn Chinese characters, because they will need their own people to govern these areas in the future.

In fact, strictly speaking, in addition to obtaining some established benefits in the future, the greater contribution of the New Han Army is to spread the seeds of civilization in this land.

However, these indigenous tribes, on the whole, are relatively scattered, distributed throughout the tropical rainforest, each indigenous tribe, the number is not large, and the contact with each other is very small, and the largest indigenous tribe encountered for the time being is only a few thousand people. The average indigenous tribe either occupies a small forest or is in a small valley. The scale is small.

But what is disappointing is that so far, there has been no search for what Leo Yi wants. (To be continued......)
