Chapter 343: Encounter

Life in the woods was completely different from that of the brothers in Bastogne, there were no trenches and foxholes for the two armies to face each other, and there were no 88mm cannons bombarding the woods. 【】Collection~Top*Point*Book City Book Friends~Litty~ The most important thing for the brothers to do is to build a simple wooden structure camp with branches and thatch, and a relatively high lookout platform is also built on the trees around the camp for observation and vigilance tasks. There was a mountain to exploit, and Parks also had personnel to dig simple tunnels and traps, as well as bunkers that had been built using the mountain. Everything was done to deal with the ensuing counterattack of the Japanese army. This was the worst Parks could do. In the unlikely event that the Japanese army is present, they can use these to inflict heavy blows and casualties on the Japanese army.

This is a typical arrangement of mountain defense operations, and even those high-ranking generals now, General Wainwright, etc., did not expect that the layout of Parks today is almost the same as the layout of the battlefield in Vietnam more than ten years later.

"Why don't we connect with the outside world? Now that the Allies are almost on the Japanese mainland, we can't stay here and wait for death, isn't there a radio station here? I'm going to get in touch with the navy of the British Empire, I'm going to have them take me home, God, I've had enough of this place," Sir Young came to jail again, and he was about to spend ten days in the woods. And in the past ten days, he often complained about this and that, he grabbed a fruit on his wooden plate, and then stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then burst out with a "poof", he had reached the point where he was sick to his stomach after eating this wild fruit.

"yes, how many days will we be able to get through?" Governor Chavor frowned too, for at first when he heard Sir Young complain, he thought he was nothing more than a hypocritical Englishman at fault, but now he had to think about it as well. What they lack most now is food. The wild fruits have changed from the original meal to the main meal, and if this continues, they will definitely not last long, and the wild beasts running around the mountains, the fish in the streams, and the birds perched on the trees have all become the objects of hunting. So much so that the animals in this area are on the verge of extinction.

"yes, we can't sit still," the other two judges agreed. But those generals did not raise any objections, and in themselves they were able to endure hardships better than these governors and judges, who had previously lived a luxurious life, and even after experiencing the Japanese prisoner of war camps, these people's delicate habits had not been completely changed.

"Somebody has to talk to the Major," one of the judges said to Sir Young, "we can't go, but if it were them, it would be different," Sir Young said, gesturing with his eyes to the chatty generals who were outside the room, "Their words, I think the Major will definitely listen." ”

"Good idea," Governor Chavor nodded, and said; Sir Yang said, "Okay, let's try, I'll go talk to them first, wait for my good news" He stood up, clapped his hands, and walked towards the group of generals.

"Hey, generals, what are you talking about? War? I love war, I'm interested in it, and I know that you soldiers always have the honor of being a soldier, and these are what you will find on the battlefield," Governor Chavor said as he walked as he thought of the greetings from the generals, and although it seemed ungentlemanly to disturb their conversation, he could not care much more.

"No, we're not talking about war, Mr. Chavor," General Parker smiled at the guy who had forced him to join the conversation, "A soldier doesn't necessarily need war, do you know what the point of a soldier is?" This is the topic we just discussed, are you interested? ”

"Of course I'm interested, it's because of this that I came here, to be honest, I almost became a soldier, I hate politics, and I like the straightforwardness of a soldier" Xia Vol smiled, "You just said the meaning of a soldier?" God, do you know what I'm thinking right now? The greatest significance of a soldier is to win every war" Suddenly he thought that all the generals here had been captured by the Japanese army, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and stammered to explain, "I mean...... I mean......" Apparently he realized he had said the wrong thing and began to stammer.

"Okay, what the hell are you trying to say?" General Wainwright said to him with some displeasure that he didn't like these politicians, and that he preferred pure soldiers to soldiers.

Xia Vol had already relented, as a politician, he could quickly get rid of his embarrassment, and he covered it up well, and he smiled with that warm expression on his face: "That's it." General, you know that we don't understand some things very well, we have been here for a long time, and if we don't have a clear goal, and there are material guarantees, how can we get out of the current predicament? Then he said with some embarrassment: "They have never experienced war, so they are a little desperate for the current environment." We're running out of food, and we can't afford to sit still," he said, turning his head to the governors and judges.

General Wainwright actually nodded and said: "This problem has been considered by Major Parks, don't worry, there will be food, we are waiting here because we believe in Major Parkes, believe him, this experience will pass soon." Tell the gentlemen, stay here, maybe we won't be home for long."

Xia Vol breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "This is what I think too much, it turns out that the major has been prepared, that's good, such a difficulty is actually nothing, I know what war is like, but those gentlemen don't know, I can only reluctantly help them ask, I really can't understand them" Xia Vol put himself on the side of these generals in a few words, but no one listened to him here. And Xia Vol couldn't find anything to talk about, so he left in a hurry.

"What do they say?" Sir Young saw Governor Xia Vol coming over, and asked anxiously, this was his most concerned question.

"I've asked them to tell Major Parks our opinion, and I'm sure the results will come soon. Don't those soldiers know what we have suffered? You can't let a noble person like us accept starvation, and you can't decide to do nothing because of a major's opinion, right? All right, gentlemen, rest assured, they take my opinion very seriously, and the results will be available soon, so we will wait" Chavor did not blush at all when he said this.

Major Parks was indeed preparing. He personally led a platoon patrol to begin its activities near Liaoyuan. Liaoyuan is only a Xiao city, and the closer Parks team is the county seat of Xi'an, where a squadron of Japanese troops is stationed. The total number is less than two hundred. There must be Japanese stockpiled materials here, but if you rush in and grab the county, I believe it will be easy, but you will also be outrageous, thus attracting a large number of Japanese counterattacks. And that's when Parks didn't want to see it. Even the radio station was forbidden to be used in the team, and the radio signal was easily detected, which was why Parks was reluctant to contact the outside world. He was going to wait until the day the Japanese surrendered.

The patrol team walked on the edge of the forest, and under the cover of deep grass and trees, they watched vigilantly as they went. And these days, they're pretty much patrolling the neighborhood, and Parks doesn't want anything to go wrong at the last minute. The only thing they are worried about now is the material problem, and they won't be able to last long. Although the Japanese army is getting closer and closer to the day of surrender in history.

"How does it feel like Europe?" Hubler, who was walking in front of the team, chewed a leaf in his mouth, his eyes looked around, but he still didn't forget to ask Lutz behind him, "There are too many differences between here and Europe, if I can still go to Africa, I have no regrets, I can go home and tell my neighbors that I went to all the battlefields in the Second World War"

"If only you could do it, Hubler," Lutz also had a leaf in his mouth, and a disguised straw hat made of twigs on top of his head, "but you may be disappointed, I won't follow you to Africa, the girls there are not very enthusiastic, and of course I don't like China, look, we've been here for so long, I haven't seen a girl, I still have fifty condoms in my backpack."

There was a burst of laughter behind him, and White said to Lutz behind him, "Forget your condom, Lutz." Then he smiled at everyone, "Now even if it's just a female, even if it's a wild boar, he won't let it go."

"Well, White, watch out for your Xiao Bird, I'll cut it off to make a pot of rou soup while you're asleep, do you know what I need most right now? It's just a pot of rou soup" Luz refused to suffer and immediately fought back. Parks just smiled and watched as they canceled each other, he didn't interfere with the behavior, it was their habit.

Suddenly, Huborough in front of him squatted down, and then raised his hand, and everyone immediately dispersed and hidden, their weapons had already been raised, and they reacted quickly. Everyone looked around vigilantly.

"Malachi, Lyle," Parks walked quickly to the front, then observed, and whispered to the two of them, gesticulating for them to take a place in front of them from the two sides. There was a dense grass growing behind a row of trees, and from Parks' experience, someone must have been hiding in that place

"Haliger, outflank from the left with a group, Landauman, go from the right with the men, and the rest of the men follow me from the front to attack in formation" Parks' order was given quickly, and by this time Malaki and Lyle had quietly moaned over to that side, stopped near the grass, and then gestured to Parks and them, signaling that they could start the operation.

"Be fast" Parks sprang into action, leaping out of the grass and then hunched over and running forward, while Malaki and Lyle had already taken advantage of the terrain and would be sniped at if someone came up.

"Bang", Parks and they rushed up, and suddenly shook violently from the grass, as if someone noticed Parks and their actions and wanted to react, but soon, Parks and they had already rushed in front of them, and the muzzle of the black dongdong was aimed at them, a group of ** people wearing gray cloth uniforms.

One of the middle ** people still had a steamed bun in his hand, and one hand was pressed on the top of the rifle, and the rest of the people must not be much stronger than this soldier, and before they could react, they were already surrounded by Parks.

The soldier sitting in the middle with a German Maoser pistol diagonally on his shoulder saw Parks and them, and couldn't help but grow his mouth, and then slowly released his hand on the pistol case, slowly stood up, and said to Parks: "You are Americans?" ”

Parks nodded, looked at the soldier with a strong northeastern accent and said, "You should answer my question first, who are you?" Japanese? Or the Chinese? Parks spoke Mandarin in a rounded language, and the soldier didn't have to worry about not understanding it.

Only then did the soldier realize the current situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, let me say first, I am the Eighth Route Army under the Chinese gD tie, now it's time to tell us who you are?" ”

Parks looked at his outfit, then at the food and suits in their hands, as well as their rifles, and couldn't help but nod and said, "I believe what you say, you are indeed the Eighth Route Army and not the Japanese army in disguise." ”

The soldier couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then walked towards Parker, Hubrough instinctively stepped forward to stop him, Parkes stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Hubrough, they are Chinese, not Japanese"

"My name is Guo Dahai, the company commander of the Independent Reconnaissance Company of the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army," the soldier stretched out his hand and shook Parks, "These people are the vanguard reconnaissance detachment I led. It's just that I didn't expect to find out about you yet, but I told you to surround you" He smiled bitterly, obviously this made him feel a little frustrated.

"My name is Lacey? Parks" Parks nodded at him, "I don't know why you're here, but I hope you don't reveal our whereabouts." Parks' tone smacked of warning.

Guo Dahai hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Major, we entered this area for you, we took a great risk to come in, if it weren't for the fact that the devils have completely reduced their forces during this period of time, we wouldn't have been able to get in, and the superiors asked us to find you, connect with you, and then take you out of here secretly."

Parks couldn't help laughing and said: "I know from your Jizhong Military Region, I have fought with your Li Z Civil Affairs Commissar, and one of your companies can sneak in and go out at any time, but we can't, we have more than 1,500 people, and they are all Europeans, there is no way to get out at all, as long as the Japanese block the key intersections, we will throw ourselves into the net." I'm sure you've taken it into account."

Guo Dahai nodded with some admiration and said, "Yes, our superiors have also taken this situation into account, they just want us to move the organization here to solve the problems you urgently need." ”

This is practical, no matter how beautiful Guo Dahai's words are, but he can't change the practical problems he faces, if he can go out, Parks will not hide in the mountains and forests, and he will not have to wait until after Japan surrenders.

"Okay, Company Commander Guo, what we need now is nothing else, just supplies, we need food. If you can do it, I'm more than happy to cooperate with you again" Parks nodded at him, his tone was full of strong vigilance, it was obvious that even the Eighth Route Army, he had to have reservations, "If possible, we can leave a way to communicate"

"Not going to take us to your place?" Guo Dahai looked at Parks in some surprise, he couldn't imagine that this American thought like this, he risked his eyes to come here, but he was treated in a cover-up, and he didn't even let him go to their stronghold.

"Yes, Company Commander Guo, we leave the contact information, and then if there are any supplies, we can change them at the agreed place" Parks looked at him and nodded, "If you really want to change it" He couldn't be careless, so he chose a cautious way.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, I'm sure, Company Commander Guo," Parks said.

Looking at Parks' determined demeanor, Guo Dahai had to nod and say, "Okay, that's it" Saying that, the two agreed on the way and place of contact, and finally under Parks' gaze, Guo Dahai left with someone.

"Martin, lead the rest of the people on guard duty," Parks said, "and the rest of the people follow me back." After making sure that no one was following, the group quietly returned from the same way.

Not long after they left, the grass shook a few times, and two figures came out, one of them said, "Company commander, do you want to follow?" Those Americans are too annoying, we help him not to end up with a good face."

Guo Dahai frowned and said, "You don't have to follow, maybe you will be shown by them, and it will hurt your harmony." The quality of this group of people is very high, we are all members of the reconnaissance company, but we didn't expect to be taken out of the nest at once, and it is also humiliating to follow the past."

"That's because we are not guarded, if it is a real battle of swords and guns, will we be afraid of these Americans?" The man was clearly not convinced.

"Hmph, what do you know, that major is definitely a master, I can smell everything, forget it, let's go, let's think about how to raise some supplies for them. Count us as we did our best," Company Commander Guo said, and the two of them quietly retracted again, and the grass shook for a while, and then they were silent. It's as if this place has never been haunted
