Chapter 18: The Jungle Encounter
On 17 August, good news came from the airport, and without the interference of the Japanese army, the US military had completed the construction of more than half of the airfield built by the Japanese. In this way, US military planes will be free to patrol the waters off Kuah Island. And rely on this to control the airspace of the entire southeastern part of the Solomon Islands!
On August 19, the 11th day of the occupation of the airport, Zhang Fan's reconnaissance team approached an undercover outpost about 10 kilometers east of the airport. Jesse stopped the car suddenly, "Head, doesn't seem right?" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan did not notice anything abnormal.
Jesse jumped to the ground and took a closer look at his surroundings. Under his guidance, he noticed some subtle changes in the woods. For example, a branch of a tree that stretched diagonally into the open space was broken, and the sap was still wet from the fracture. There are some less obvious footprints on the soft decaying soil, and there are some slight morning dew accumulation in the footprints. Jesse dipped in stagnant water and tasted it, with a faint smell of rubber and a hint of fireworks. Unlike the footprints left by the island's natives, the island's shoes do not have rubber soles. No, the natives of the island don't seem to wear shoes.
The three of them carefully searched a nearby area, and sure enough, they found more traces of small troops passing by. Following these trails also led to a campsite, where it is estimated that forty or fifty well-trained soldiers had camped, based on the number of campfires extinguished. It's canned Japanese food, who else can there be?!
The Japanese army has landed! This is a small reconnaissance detachment that they sent.
Collecting some evidence of the presence of Japanese troops, the trio returned to the car. We are deliberating whether to continue to search for traces of the Japanese army, or to go back and report the situation.
"Uhh Jesse hurriedly turned off the fire, and the three of them got out of the car and approached stealthily.
Zhang Fan Luyi and Jesse climbed up to a high ground and watched from Xiangxia.
I saw an American soldier surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers, and there was no way to escape.
That soldier, whom Zhang Fan knew, greeted him when he came here a few days ago, and it seemed to be a sergeant, named Wocha. In the image, he is a very strong soldier with excellent reconnaissance skills. Therefore, he was assigned to lurk in this relatively cutting-edge place. Now it seems that he found the enemy army, but before he could escape, he was captured.
At this time, the ring gives a hint:
You triggered the Hidden Quest 'Jungle Encounter':
Task 1, rescue Sergeant Wocha, successfully get 500 merit points, 5 bonus points, Wocha dies, deduct 2000 merit points;
Task 2: Obtain the Japanese army's Guah Island battle map, and get 500 merit points for success, 5 bonus points, and 2000 merit points for failure;
Task 3, annihilate the Japanese 40-man reconnaissance team, kill more than half of the Japanese army, and each dead Japanese soldier will get 100 merit points, 1 bonus point, less than half, and 500 merit points will be deducted for each additional Japanese soldier alive. If the merit value is insufficient, the corresponding stamina points will be deducted, and it cannot be recovered until the end of the scene.
"You go back and contact the other brothers, she and I will stay and monitor this group of Japanese soldiers, waiting for the opportunity to rescue Wocha!" Zhang Fan didn't have time to think about it, and said to Jesse: "Leave the car for us." ”
Jesse hesitated, but Zuihou withdrew first at Zhang Fan's urging, leaving Zhang Fan with a Thomson, two 50-round drums, 5 grenades and a telescope. I quickly went back the same way to find the reconnaissance team to which he and Zhang Fan belonged.
Zhang Fan and the others lay down in ambush on the spot, threw the telescope to Green Wing, they didn't need it, they could hear the screams of the Japanese soldiers abusing the hapless Wocha from afar. But now they can only do nothing, although the two are outstanding, but to deal with 40 heavily armed Japanese soldiers, it is still looking for death, only wait until the evening. Now we can only hope that the Japanese soldiers will not beat Wocha to death.
One of the leaders of the Japanese soldiers strode up and slapped Wocha in the mouth, causing him to spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. Then he asked what to ask about Wocha, who was very tough, and his body was beaten all over his body, but he still gritted his teeth and did not reveal any information.
The little leader of the Japanese army roared and held a bayonet, and made a gesture to stab Wocha to death. Wocha tilted his head and closed his eyes and waited for death. Zhang Fan Luyi was shocked into a cold sweat and almost rushed out of the hiding place. Fortunately, that guy didn't really do it, but this saved the lives of a few people, otherwise he would have died first!
Perhaps the leader of the Japanese soldiers was tired of asking, so he had Wocha tied his hands and feet, and threw him far away into a stinking ditch, and sent a small soldier to watch. He spread out a map with a few soldiers, pointed and pointed, and probably discussed the route of the march.
Zhang Fan and the others took note of the Japanese soldier who took the picture, and carefully observed whether the Japanese army would still move. However, it seems that this group of Japanese soldiers marched for a day, and they took a lot of effort to capture this American soldier, and they seemed to be tired, so they were stationed on the spot. 40 Japanese soldiers, divided into several small circles, like stoves and pots, collected firewood and water, and made dinner.
Zhang Fan asked Lu Yi to stare closely at the Japanese soldier holding the map, and looked at the whole audience himself. He had a feeling that it wasn't for these 40 Japanese soldiers, and that these Japanese soldiers, although they were numerous, did not pose any threat to themselves before they found themselves.
There is a threat of hostile ring-bearers who appeared in the battle for the airport the other day. Because, Zhang Fan didn't know if the ghost plane was summoned to help in the battle, and later the U.S. military pursued after the victory, whether it solved those few ring holders.
Zhang Fan instinctively felt that they were not dead, at least not all dead. So will they be mixed in with this group of Japanese troops? If this is the case, the rescue will be more difficult.
Sure enough, a familiar figure jumped into his eyes, holding a rifle with a scope, covered in camouflage, and with a vague aura! Not bad! That's him! That sneak attacker!
I don't know if I noticed Zhang Fan and the others, the sneak attacker looked over here, a little hesitant, but then ate casually. This action startled Zhang Fan, and immediately pulled down the green wing and lay down in the grass.
Zhang Fan thought about it for a while, that person's agility was about the same as his own, if this was the case, his perception should not be as good as his own, after all, he had added more than 200 points of bonus.
For the first time, in order to survive, ordinary people add more agility. Even if he had added more than 100 points, he would already be an ordinary vow-bearer who had walked through about 4 scenes, and his perception would only be about half or one-third of his own. Therefore, the man's attention to his observations several times is not to discover himself, but should be an instinctive expression. It is estimated that it has something to do with his real-life Shijie's career. Wouldn't it be realistic that Shijie is a sniper, right? Or is it a hunter?
Zhang Fan told Green Wing about the situation and asked her to pay attention, including a few people around that guy, Zhang Fan found that several people around him were also quite abnormal, at least one of them was a Liliang type precept holder. They seem to be frugal in their eating, which is probably the reason why the food supplies rationed by the Japanese army are not very sufficient.
Because of this shijie's disguise, it is not visible from the appearance of the unrelated precept holders, they are all the same military uniforms of each camp. Perhaps it is only when they touch each other or fight that they can discover each other's real clothes or equipment.
The sneak attacker had fought before, so the gun that could be seen in him was probably disguised as a prop with a certain concealment bonus. So before that, with such a high perception, it took a little effort to find out that he still had to work hard. After all, if it is a vow holder who has gone through about 4 scenes, it is not surprising that he has haode props on his body.
From Zhang Fan's instinctive will, he didn't want to kill anyone at will, whether it was the real precept holder or the people in the scene. But this shijie is so cruel that he and Green Wing have only experienced the second scene, and they almost died several times. Zhang Fan thinks that he has not yet been able to cultivate to the realm of Jizo Bodhisattva - I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, the spirit of sacrifice for people I don't know! On the verge of life and death, it is better to rely on each means and secure his destiny.
Zhang Fan recited a sentence of Buddha, and sensed that he locked on a few important people, so he let Green Wing rest first.
However, he didn't rest for long, and he woke up the Japanese soldiers from the campfire carnival at night. There were a few Japanese soldiers imitating Japanese geisha who were dancing with their teeth and claws, causing the soldiers next to them to laugh obscenely, and a few out of character actually followed behind obscenely.
"Beware of letting these devils get caught!" Zhang Fan teased.
Green Wing took a sip and said fiercely: "Catch me and kill myself!" He touched the grenade, "Drag them to death together!" ”
Zhang Fan was startled, quickly shut up, and secretly scolded himself, saying something that touched his head.
It's super sad to be ambushed in a tropical jungle on a night like this. The variety of mosquitoes in the jungle is amazingly big! A bite is a big bag, painful and itchy! Suck blood on it, and its stamina is a little less. From time to time, there are fist-sized spiders crawling over the body.
The two were ordinary modern urbanites more than a month ago, how could they be abused like this. In Zhang Fan's perception, he intuitively felt that on the grass and trees around him, countless creatures of all sizes were crawling around. Usually camping with Jesse, they find a dry place to clean up, although there are some jungle creatures, but it is still a kind of fun. It's really disgusting to lie in this pile of worms now, and it's a shame that a woman in Green Wing can survive it.
Endure mosquito bites, the two continued to observe, and the current situation on the field is very favorable to Zhang Fan and the others. The few vow-bearers were obviously not used to this kind of performance, and they all stayed away.
And the tied Wocha was in the other corner of the camp, guarded by only one devil. And the devil was obviously absent-minded, sticking his neck straight to watch the performance over there, and laughing stupidly. Only the Japanese soldier with the map watched the excitement in the crowd, and he was not alone.
Zhang Fan Green Wing discussed it, and when the Japanese army was tired and fell asleep, Zhang Fan went to rescue Wocha while it was dark, and Green Wing went to kill the sentries, and then went to touch the map. After succeeding, Zhang Fan summoned the ghost plane to strafe, and the green wing threw a grenade. Then, retreat to the hidden jeep, join up with the main army, and kill the carbines!
It was close to midnight, and the old man was really cooperative, there was only a crescent moon, and it was covered by a thick cloud, and it was hazy and difficult to see face to face.
