Chapter 979: Border Jungle!
The brothers sent by Liang Hao to report the news were still on the way, Feng Ye had already received a telegram from the guide team, and at this time, the troops of the Fifth Army were on the way, and the rain was gradually getting heavier, and there was no way to turn on the radio.
"Min Fei, the guide team has arrived, take your brothers, go and greet them immediately, pay close attention to the surrounding situation, since you have arrived, no guide is allowed to be overshadowed by the Burmese."
Feng Yi shouted, every guide who came over was precious, once he entered the jungle, it might be related to the life and death of hundreds of brothers, he didn't want these people who walked out of the jungle to suffer large-scale losses due to negligence.
"Yes! I promise to bring them back in perfect condition. ”
Min Fei shouted, he was equally excited, because they didn't know anything about that jungle.
At this time, Liang Hao and the people of the guide team were already walking back, but compared with the team in the jungle, this team was obviously less than fifty people, not even fifty people.
"Captain Luo, is Chief Du in front?"
While hurrying, the captain officer asked, he was very afraid that something would go wrong with his team, so half of the people were left at the edge of the jungle, once it was confirmed that this side was indeed the troops of the expeditionary force, he would take them out, he didn't dare to bet, because more than forty people had been lost on the road, and if they were not discovered by Liang Hao and others, they would definitely have been waiting for Du Yuming's reply.
"Battalion Commander Min is here, more than 600 brothers have come, the order of the regiment commander."
The brethren who had gone out to explore the path hurried back and pointed ahead.
"Company Commander Liang, are they all here?"
Min Fei ran all the way, and the hundreds of brothers in the team followed behind him.
"I am Min Fei, the commander of the first battalion of the 85th Regiment, who is the captain?"
Min Fei stopped and asked the chaotic team of guides.
"I'm the captain, Captain Li Wei."
The captain officer nodded and saluted.
"Brother, the head of the regiment said that there are more than 100 of you! How's that? ”
Min Fei pointed to the team a little puzzled, just such a few people, if he doesn't ask clearly now, how should he explain when he goes back, I'm afraid it's half less.
"Who is your leader?"
Li Wei asked with a frown.
"Commander of the infantry of the new 29th Division and commander of the 85th Regiment, Colonel Feng Yi."
Min Fei's doubts became stronger and stronger, and he introduced Feng Yi's military position in detail, but fortunately, it was him, and if he wanted other company platoon commanders to come, he might not be able to say it so clearly.
"So, you're really a big part of the expeditionary force?"
The information was not wrong, the only unit of the new 29th Division stranded in Burma was Feng Yi's department, which he had already read in detail the information of all the regimental-level officers of the expeditionary force before leaving.
"What's the matter? I'm still fooling you? ”
Min Fei's thick northeast accent seemed to understand something, and it seemed that there was indeed a little misunderstanding in the middle.
"There are still half of the brothers in the woods, and I am afraid that something will happen, so I let them stay where they are."
Li Wei was not embarrassed, but talked about the actual situation.
"Company Commander, you and Company Commander Liang join forces and escort these brothers to the regiment commander."
"Captain Li, let's go and get those brothers out together."
Min Fei can't say anything, after all, this is Myanmar, and it's always right to be careful.
"Thank you!"
Li Wei nodded and walked back again......
When Min Fei arrived at the village with the rest of the guides, Du Yuming had already arrived with the army.
"Sir, it's not easy to walk in the forest during the rainy season......"
Inside the humble thatched hut, the captain, the officer, and a few hunter guides were reporting on the road; Before they entered the mountain from Gengma, they found all the guides from the surrounding villages; It only took them half a day for the first few kilometers, because this distance was where these hunters frequented, and they knew what was inside.
"In the middle eight kilometers, there are wild people living in it, the number is unknown, several people in our team were snatched by them, in order to save them, we delayed for half a day, and only found their corpses......"
"There is a dense jungle, the compass is completely unable to discern the direction, we often can't find the way according to the guidance of the compass, because we can't see the sun in the sky, the radio has no signal at all, insects, snakes, miasma will come at any time, and the leeches and other things in the depths of the jungle will burrow into the body from all the bare skin, draw blood at the same time, and inject venom into your body, at first it is itchy, and after a few hours, the skin will fester......"
"There is a lot of water in the jungle, but most of it is a stagnant pool, and if you drink it, it is poison; On the way, we found a few sources of living water, and if we are lucky, we can still use them when we go back......"
"On the second night of our entry into the jungle, it began to rain, and the torrent came quickly, but it also went quickly, and two of our brothers stayed there forever because they couldn't avoid it."
"When we left, each of us brought ten days of dry food and a few pots of salt water, but it was still not enough, and walking there was a huge test of people's physical strength, so I suggested that we should minimize the weight and save physical strength......
……
In the miscellaneous introduction, Du Yuming's brows became tighter and tighter, and it was not difficult to abandon the baggage, because he was originally going to do this, but as the life of the brothers, the rifle has now become a burden, according to the description of these people, the wild people living in it come and go like the wind, go up and down the mountain and down the trees like walking on the ground, to prevent them from sneak attack, they can only rely on automatic weapons such as submachine guns and pistols; As for the heavy machine gun, I'm afraid it will be abandoned now.
"More than 20 kilometers, they walked for five days, even if they found out the road for us, according to them, the winding mountain road is nearly 80 kilometers, the key is that the daily march time is only six hours; We still don't have enough dry food and medicines......"
The introduction lasted for several hours, but Luo Youlun was very difficult, not to mention the medicine now, and he didn't even prepare enough dry food.
"What about the wounded? The smell of blood will be like a light in the night, and all the insects, snakes, and beasts will pounce on them. ”
And Du Yuming is thinking differently now, now the troops directly under the Fifth Army, the 96th Division, the new 22nd Division and the 85th Regiment are combined, and there are nearly 30,000 people, but among them, the wounded soldiers account for more than 3,000 people, one-tenth, and the proportion of wounded soldiers is too large, which will not only slow down the marching speed of the team, but also put the large army into a crisis.
Now the best way is to give up the wounded soldiers, but no one dares to say this, without the desperate fighting of these brothers, I am afraid that the expeditionary force would have been defeated long ago, and it would not have been possible to get here.
"Let the lightly wounded take care of the troops themselves, there is not enough medicine, even if the seriously wounded are brought, I am afraid they will not be able to go far, it is better to ......"
Luo Youlun knew that now this wicked man could only be his own, his voice was full of helplessness, and he slowly said the best choice now.
