Chapter 59: Jungle Lore Technique

I later learned that during the war in northern Burma, many of the Japanese troops lived in trees. Because these trees, some of which can be called "big trees" in the true sense of the word, the trunks need several people to hug each other. They built hammocks in trees and hung ammunition on trees. And between the trees, there are also ropeways and alarm bells connected, which can be transferred, transmitted, and alarmed.

This allows these Japanese devils to fight continuously in the trees.

This method is very scientific, not only to protect oneself from the attack of wild beasts on the ground, but also to greatly enhance the mobility of the battle, and in the event of an exchange of fire, this kind of condescending shooting is also very advantageous.

This method worked well at first, and our troops suffered a lot of losses. But then the Chinese troops also had a way to deal with it, often using machine guns to strafe trees. So, with the dense and fierce strafing, it was not only the branches and leaves of the trees and the birds that fell, but also the Japanese.

Of course, at that stage, we did not understand this tactics of the Japanese army. Therefore, when I judged that these Japanese soldiers were indeed on the tree with my keen sense of smell, I was very surprised, and I couldn't help but think in my heart that they were really clever in doing this.

If you want to kill them all, you must not shoot indiscriminately, because as soon as the guns are fired, with their strict military training, they will be quickly dispersed.

I'm older now, and I have a lot of leisure time at home, whenever I watch some war TV dramas, I feel that those are all made up, and the director and screenwriter don't know what the real battlefield is like, and on the real battlefield, the distance between each soldier must be kept about 20 meters, which is called the principle of 'personnel dispersion, firepower concentration', how can it be like the TV stage, people rush forward next to each other, the density of people is so large, if that is the case, how many people will die when a shell hits such a dense crowd?

Therefore, on the battlefield, the most taboo is to get together, and the combat soldiers must definitely be dispersed, so as to reduce the mortality rate. When I used to fight in the interior, I used to lead my brothers to ambush Japanese soldiers passing by in the valleys on both sides. It was two trucks full of Japanese troops, and we set up roadblocks in advance, so the cars of the Japanese devils would inevitably stop when they encountered a roadblock, which made it easier for us to attack.

As soon as the two trucks stopped, we opened fire on them, but to our surprise, the Japanese troops on the trucks did not panic in the slightest, and behind their cars, there was no shelter at all, but completely open, so what good was this? It is to ensure that in the event of an attack, the soldiers in the car can immediately jump out of the car from all directions and disperse in the shortest possible time, because in this special situation, if they disperse for a second earlier, many people will die.

Therefore, it is not too easy to concentrate on the total annihilation of these cunning Japanese soldiers.

What to do? I pondered. In the damp and wet dark jungle, I could hear the terrible buzzing of mosquitoes next to me, thanks to the mosquito repellent water I applied with the aid of the US military, this kind of mosquito repellent water is much higher quality than Japan, in summary, it can be said that 'less dosage, good effect, less smell', as long as you apply it to your body, not only mosquitoes, but other insects will not bite you.

Smelling the mosquito repellent water on his body, thinking about the harsh natural environment in the jungle, and these terrible mosquitoes, locusts, and pythons......

Suddenly, a spark seemed to flash in my head, right, python, there's a way!

The pythons in Savage Mountain are very scary. I remember the book said that the most suitable place for human survival is the place where the natural environment is not too good and not too bad, the reason is that if the natural conditions are too good, then trees and other plants will grow wildly, so it is very difficult to cut down trees and open up wasteland, and if you can't cut down trees and open up wasteland, the population will not be too dense. This kind of jungle belongs to the place where the natural conditions are particularly good, and the sunshine is abundant and the rainfall is abundant. Therefore, the animals and plants grow and reproduce very vigorously, and the same mosquitoes, grasshoppers, and here are many times larger than the average, but this is not the most terrifying.

In our arduous march to the Savage Mountain, we also encountered such an incredible thing.

Once, more than a dozen brothers were so tired from walking that they found a "big rock" that seemed to be relatively smooth and flat, so more than a dozen people climbed on the stone and fell asleep. When they were dazed and about to fall asleep, they suddenly felt that the stone under them seemed to be moving, so they beat each other's spirits, pushed each other awake, turned over and sat up, and then they were surprised to find that this was a stone, obviously the shell of a big turtle! In this special environment, the turtle can grow so big!

What's even more terrifying is the big python here.

I've never seen a big python before, I think the poisonous snake is terrible, but I heard others say that the big python can swallow large animals such as sheep, I always half-believed, this time in the savage mountain to really see the python, and it is a man-eating python. Once, a few of my brothers and I encountered a ferocious python that was shot twice and was not killed. At this time, a tank happened to press over the python and crushed the python.

What shocked us was that in the body of this python, we actually saw the soldier's steel helmet, military uniform, and a bunch of human limbs that were not fully digested, this kind of scene is really terrifying. It can be seen that this python has just eaten people.

And I'm about to use this terrifying python as a weapon against these Japanese.

Pythons are very sensitive to the smell of blood, as are the case with many carnivores. Therefore, many books say that women who are menstruating are more likely to be attacked by animals, which is very reasonable.

But the olfactory organs of pythons, unlike ordinary animals, do not smell with their noses, but use their tongues to feel smells.

I first need the blood of a Japanese soldier to attract a python.

I touched my waist, and there happened to be half a bottle of wine, which was used to relieve fatigue, and if I was injured, it could also be used temporarily to eliminate poison and so on.

I took the half bottle of wine, followed the smell in the pitch darkness, quietly walked to the tree where the Japanese soldiers lived, and then poured the half bottle of wine under the tree. This is originally blended with high-concentration medical alcohol, so it is considered a high-count wine, and the smell is very strong, which is exactly what I wanted.

I hid quietly under the tree, listening to the movement in the tree. As I expected, I soon heard someone muttering a few words from above, and then it seemed as if someone was stepping on the trunk of a tree and someone was coming down! All of a sudden, I became very nervous, and my heart was beating wildly.

Those who have not fought in battle will not understand how important alcohol is to soldiers. As soon as they arrived on the battlefield, those who usually blushed after two sips of wine were able to drink booze immediately. Alcohol can help soldiers temporarily dispel fear, fatigue, and relax their tense nerves. In the high-stress environment of the battlefield, wine is a soothing, and soldiers on the battlefield see wine like a wolf sees meat. So, I used the smell of wine to attract these Japanese soldiers, who probably felt that their precious sake had fallen off, so they had to come down and have a look.

In fact, you don't need to smell with your nose, you can roughly know the location of the Japanese soldier by listening by ear. I tried to compose myself, touched the dagger around my waist with my hand, and quietly pulled it out and held it in my hand.

The Japanese soldier slowly descended to the ground along the trunk of the tree and hung it with a rope, and he suddenly turned on the flashlight in his hand and followed the strong smell in the direction where I poured the wine. I hid behind a tree, and as he shone his flashlight and looked carefully at the place where I had poured the wine, I lunged over and thrust my dagger deep into his kidneys from behind. He fell to the ground in pain and was convulsing, trying to scream, but he couldn't make a sound.

When I recount this experience, I am often asked why I don't cover the Japanese soldier's mouth from behind instead of covering his mouth from behind, as shown on TV and movies, and then quickly cut his trachea with a dagger in my other hand. If you want to kill the enemy without being detected, shouldn't you all use that way?

In fact, in actual operation, often encounter all kinds of problems, in actual combat, from the back to quickly and accurately complete this series of actions, it is not easy, sometimes often cut to their own hands.

The best way to kill the enemy from behind with a knife taught by the American instructor is not to cover your mouth and cut your throat from behind, but to stab the enemy's kidneys, because the nerves in this part are very special, and if you stab this part, the enemy will have a cramp of pain, and the root method will not be able to shout.

This trick really worked, I looked at the Japanese soldier, who was slashing on the ground in pain, and died in a short time, and the blood had already flowed a lot. But I was afraid that the amount of blood was not enough, so I hurriedly made up for his heart. Blood was gurgling all over the ground, and the strong smell of blood made me want to vomit.

And all of this qiē happens in a minute or two.

I hurriedly picked up the flashlight dropped by the Japanese soldier from the ground and hid it, anxiously looking forward to the arrival of the giant python. With Monty Python's sensitivity to the smell of blood, I think they'll be there soon.

I tried hard to detect the peculiar fishy smell of the python in the air. And twitched my nose a few times, how I wished I could smell the fishy smell, but it didn't, which made me a little anxious, a little panicked. If the python didn't eat the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese would have found out that their soldiers had been killed, and then they would definitely launch a search nearby, and with my body at the time, I had no ability to move and escape quickly, so I could almost sit back and wait for death, and then I would be in trouble.

I felt fine beads of sweat oozing from my forehead, and the hand holding the submachine gun was also wet. As time passed, I became more and more agitated, as if I could hear the ticking of the clock.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and I trembled, and my mind immediately cleared up a little, and with the smell of the wind, I was immediately ecstatic, yes, it was the fishy smell, the fishy smell that I was eagerly looking forward to, the peculiar fishy smell of pythons, they were finally about to appear!

Then I heard a rustling sound, as if someone was dragging a big, heavy thing in the jungle. It came, and it doesn't seem to be a one.
