"This leader, your enemy is the Japanese, and our enemy is also the Japanese, so we are friends, as for the future interaction with the Han people, it is difficult for you to believe in the sincerity of our Han people now, but you can gamble." Jiang Maosheng said suddenly.

Hearing this, Lu Dao slowly walked out of the hiding tree after Lauren's awkward translation, and walked towards Jiang Maosheng. The two sides immediately tensed, and Lauren could even hear the "squeak" of the aborigines pulling their bows tightly.

Jiang Maosheng pointed the muzzle of the gun downward, because Lu Dao, who came over, also did not draw the short knife on his waist, only to see Lu Dao slowly walk in front of Jiang Maosheng, and stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Maosheng's cheek.

"Your tattoos are weird, is that your custom too?" It turned out that he was interested in the oil paint on the faces of the team members, and Lauren immediately reacted that the tattoo of the Saidek clan represents bravery for men, and it is also a sign of recognizing their ancestors after death. Lu Dao mistakenly thought that those thick oil paints were also textured, so he asked.

"This is a dye that soldiers deliberately apply during combat to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and it is cleaned after the battle. In our Chinese army, the soldiers who apply this dye are the most elite warriors. ”

Lu Dao smiled, and the rest of the clansmen also laughed: "Only a man who dares to hunt wild boars alone with a short knife in the mountains and forests can be called warriors, and you Han and Japanese are not brave with muskets." When I was thirteen years old, I hunted wild boars, and by now I have hunted more than fifty heads, and I am also famous throughout the Saidek people. You say you're a warrior, but do you see that boar in the valley, shoot it from here, and I'll admit you're a warrior. ”

The trail is sparsely forested, and in the valley you can see a sturdy wild boar foraging for food, a wild boar that even the bravest aborigines would not dare to provoke. It is difficult for the arrow to penetrate its skin, and once the boar is angry, it can run at an incredible speed in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult to recover after the fangs are stabbed in the body. In Japan, people respect the bravery of wild boars, which is why they invented the "pig assault tactic", for them. This term is positive.

Separated by about seven hundred meters, Jiang Maosheng can only see a black spot the size of a grain of rice without passing through the scope, the eyes of the aboriginal hunter are good, and it is a good material to be a sniper.

After a simple adjustment, with the shaking of the muzzle, a bullet burst out of the chamber, and the sound of the gun still echoed in the mountains and forests, and the aborigines noticed that the wild boar shook violently, and then scurried around like crazy.

Too far apart. The first rifle bullet did not hit the vital point of the wild boar, and the thick boar skin also greatly reduced the power of the bullet, the angry wild boar did not find the direction of the enemy, Jiang Maosheng took the opportunity to shoot the second shot, this shot is more difficult, the wild boar's trajectory is uncertain, the speed of movement is very fast, and the moving target at this distance. Jiang Maosheng was not completely sure.

However, luck was still on Jiang Maosheng's side, and the bullet hit the boar in the head. ended its life, this kind of precision even Jiang Maosheng himself was a little surprised, and the element of luck was even greater.

But Lu Dao and other aborigines don't think so, gods, ancestors, this kind of weapon, this kind of marksmanship, this kind of ability. It's unheard of, if the people of the clan have this ability, why worry that the hunt will not succeed, or even be injured and die? Or, with that kind of weaponry and marksmanship, you can expand the hunting grounds of the Mahpo to a degree that you can't even imagine.

Several clansmen excitedly ran down the valley to find the dead boar. Lu Dao looked at the sniper rifle in Jiang Maosheng's hand excitedly: "You are a real warrior, worthy of a beautiful tattoo on your face, such a warrior, I, Lu Dao, the leader of the Mahepo clan, am willing to make friends with you!" ”

Unexpectedly, the breakthrough opened from here, and Lieutenant Colonel Lauren, who was dedicated to communication, became an irrelevant translator. An hour later, the aborigines returned to their place of residence with a huge boar tied to a log, along with Lauren and others. At this time, the two sides were already talking and laughing, like friends who had reunited after a long absence.

After Jiang Maosheng gave his dagger to Lu Dao, the leader was even more pleased, and invited Lauren and Jiang Maosheng to his hut as guests, and asked his wife to prepare a sumptuous meal.

After getting acquainted, Lu Dao showed the hospitable side of the Gaoshan people, not only introduced the distribution of nearby ethnic groups to the two, but also gritted his teeth and scolded the Japanese.

"The Gaoshan tribe is what you Han people call us, in fact, in this big mountain, there are countless ethnic groups, each of which has its own customs, such as our Saidek people, including our Mahpo, Hogo, Boyalun and other communities. Each community had its own fixed hunting grounds, and before the arrival of the Japanese, we had little contact with the outside world, and occasionally Han Chinese traders came to trade in furs and mountain goods. Communities compete with each other for hunting grounds, and they take pride in hunting heads (hunting, cutting off the heads of their enemies). Later, the Japanese were involved, and there were several communities that were friendly with the Japanese, and they enslaved other indigenous peoples along with the Japanese. ”

"The Rodov community in the east became friendly with the Japanese, and received a lot of muskets and gunpowder from the Japanese, which were used to fight for hunting grounds, and many men of our tribe died under their guns, and then our hunting grounds became smaller and smaller, and the survival of the tribe became more and more difficult, and sometimes the children born died of starvation because they had no food."

"Some time ago, I heard that the Japanese were fighting outside and couldn't care about us, so I joined forces with five other oppressed communities to counterattack the Lodolf and Tarowan communities and drive them further north. It's just that during this time the two tribes have gone south again, and they have more muskets in their hands, and this time we went out to look for their traces, and it is best to drive them out. ”

"You don't have to guess to know that the muskets in those people's hands were given by the Japanese, and in the past ten days, three communities have been broken by them, adults and children have been taken away, and I don't know where to go to the north."

Lauren nodded and said, "Lu Daotou, I won't tell you, the task given to me by my superiors is to contact the aborigines in this mountain and find a stronghold for the Japanese. As long as they can be found, the Chinese army will send people to encircle and suppress it, and in order to restore calm to this mountain, the Ludaotou people have to cooperate with us. ”

"If you want me to say that you should also provide us with muskets, and I will take the people with you to do it with them. If it weren't for the lack of muskets and gunpowder, we wouldn't have been so aggrieved. ”

"The Japanese have about 15,000 soldiers in this mountain, and even if the entire Gaoshan tribe were united and armed by the Chinese army, they would not be a match for the well-trained Japanese soldiers. It's better to leave the matter of this war to our professional soldiers, and the leader doesn't want to see the Gaoshan people suffer heavy casualties because of the war. We need your help to find a hiding place for the Japanese, after all, you are more familiar with the terrain in the mountains. ”

From the bottom of his heart, Lu Dao was unwilling to believe in either the Japanese or the Han Chinese, but now he could not defeat the enemy with his own strength, so he could only choose one side to cooperate. Compared to the murderous Japanese, the two people in front of them undoubtedly give a better impression. For a long time, the Gaoshan people have been isolated from the world, and the development of civilization and human ambition have finally inevitably affected here, and the Gaoshan people have also come out of their own small circle and participated in the wider world.

On the same day, Lu Dao picked out three great guys and added himself as a guide into the mountains and forests in the north, where the terrain and environment are different from the jungles of Myanmar and Yunnan, and it is difficult for Jiang Maosheng's team to complete the task without a guide. Ludao knew where there was miasma and where the aborigines were more friendly, and since he was a child, he was surrounded by this mountain, and every inch of land was as familiar as his own body.

Seven days later, just as Lauren was getting more and more anxious, the first Japanese stronghold finally came into view. Time cannot be delayed for too long, the eyes of the General Staff will not be completely focused on Taiwan, and as the expeditionary fleet is getting closer, the energy of the Chinese army will be temporarily concentrated, so it is best to end the war in Taiwan before the outbreak of naval war.

Even in this big mountain, the Japanese are very vigilant, they will sprinkle light and dark whistles all over the surrounding hills, in the process of infiltration, Lu Dao even saw several groups of aborigines, which shows that the Japanese have attracted a lot of Gaoshan people. From ten miles away to the Japanese barracks, the team spent a full five hours, Lu Dao and the others' concealment methods are breathtaking, in the mountains they are the best hunters, out of the mountains, they are the best source of mountain infantry and special forces.

Lying a thousand meters away from the Japanese barracks, Lu Daozheng took a telescope and turned it around curiously, and then put the telescope on his eyes in the same way as Jiang Maosheng, and then retracted it suddenly, as if he was frightened, and a little unbelievable, he raised the telescope again.

Jiang Maosheng observed, Lauren recorded, and the rest of the team members were on guard, and after half an hour, the team changed an observation location, and it took half a day to investigate the Japanese stronghold. Then, moving on, they followed a transport squadron and found a second and third stronghold. (To be continued.) )
