Chapter 989: Guilt!
On May 20, the fourth day of the 85th regiment's entry into the jungle, it was almost dark, and they had not yet reached the camp that the guide had said.
"Prepare the torches!"
In the tired voice, every brother in the team was tired, the little physical strength brought by yesterday's day of recuperation was completely exhausted today, not to mention that this was the deepest part of the primeval forest.
Walking through a primeval forest full of vines and shrubs is a great test of patience, walking here, with raindrops dripping on your head and a white expanse in your eyes, and nothing but shrubs and vines, and a person with a slightly weaker willpower will doubt that he will always be in circles here.
The rainy season was in the middle of the day, and it was getting darker than usual, and in the jar on the guide's back was their own fire, which they kept in the bush.
"Commander, it's time to speed up, the miasma at night is coming, and it is more frequent than during the day."
The guide said worriedly, but he didn't expect to hurry up, but he still couldn't reach the camp before dark, and he hung up tonight.
"Speed up."
"The miasma will come at any time, hurry up."
……
The officer's shouts reminded the brethren of the danger here; During the day's march, although there were guides to warn them in advance, some of the brothers were still recruited, and they were now feverish and still in a coma.
The number of patients in the team increased again, and Feng Yi's team was no longer even able to stretch it, and more than a dozen brothers had to rely on the support of the brothers.
By the time they arrived at the camp where the Fifth Army brothers had been stationed, it was already two hours later, and the unconscious had reappeared in the ranks.
The camp was a leeward place with two caves next to it, in which several hundred expeditionary brethren were found, left behind by the troops at the front.
There were already victims in the cave, and of course the brothers were not going to die.
"Commander, what should I do in the cave?"
The brothers were tired enough, and this was a camp, with no water or food, so they could only be given an easy place to defend and shelter.
"Put all the grenades up and blow up here, which can be regarded as a peace of mind."
Looking at the back-to-back, shoulder-to-shoulder brothers around the campfire, looking at the stretcher, Feng Yi shook his head slightly, he was going to let the brothers move those people out and bury them; But now I can't bear it.
"Commander, it's not a way to do this! We are just halfway through and now there are more and more people to take care of, and the remaining brothers are running out of energy, we ......"
Zhang Chuan drooped his head, leaned next to Feng Yi and whispered.
In fact, Feng Ye also knew that they had just walked half of the way now, but it took four days, and there was still half of the way, and they didn't know if they could get out in five days, and now the dry food on each brother was not enough for even three days.
"If you get out of here, you can walk for a day at most, and there will be supplies left over there, and you will definitely be able to go out."
Feng Yi said in his mouth, in fact, he didn't even believe in this sentence, there were so many people in the Fifth Army, and they would definitely use up all those supplies.
"Hopefully they'll leave us some."
Feng Ye prayed in his heart.
"Let's rest!"
Feng Yi sighed, not knowing how to go on the road ahead.
The camp in the primeval forest had to set out again at dawn; A team of less than 3,000 people has more than 600 people to take care of, and the whole team becomes even slower.
On May 21, Du Yuming and more than 20,000 people of the Fifth Army walked out of the primeval jungle smoothly, and a large number of brothers in the team fell ill, but fortunately they finally came out.
"I don't know what happened to Feng Yi and them? Where did it go? ”
Geng Ma's temporary military camp housed these survivors who had returned from the expedition, Du Yuming was of course in Gengma, and the Military Certification Department knew that they had returned from here, so they still made a lot of preparations.
"Commander, don't worry! Commander Feng will definitely be able to come out, they are a day behind, maybe they will arrive tomorrow. ”
Luo Youlun knew that Du Yuming was a little guilty now, after all, they had abandoned Feng Yi and those wounded soldiers.
"Have they replenished the supplies on the road?"
Du Yuming frowned and asked, those materials are the reason why so many of them came out, otherwise, they would have lost at least a thousand more people.
"In the morning, the Ministry of Military Affairs has already organized personnel to go into the mountains, and they have brought a lot of things."
Luo Youlun nodded, this is the third time Du Yuming has asked, and for these veterans who have returned from the battlefield in Myanmar, if they can be saved, the Ministry of Military Affairs will not give up.
Du Yuming was lying on a warm bed, and Feng Ye was still marching with his brothers at this time, and they had to walk out of the core area of the primeval forest tonight.
On May 22, thousands of people were scattered on the edge of the jungle, and they were left with their last rations, but fortunately they did not have to look for water vines or wild plantains in the forest, and they relied on that for a day and a night.
"I can't walk, I can't walk......"
The brethren lay scattered on the grass, not wanting to move again; Even the brothers who were on guard were lying on the ground, and their guns were leaning against the ground, and they were weak.
The only ones who were still busy were the twenty guides, making firewood, lighting the fire, collecting the soldiers' kettles, and going to the stream to pour back a pot of water.
"This is our own place in China!"
"There are no cannibals here, are they?"
Feng Yi muttered to himself, looking at the sky, even if it was still raining, he felt very kind.
"Sir, this is our own land, I have asked Forrest Gump to go to the front to see if I can touch the marks left by the clansmen......"
The guide handed a pot of water to Feng Ye, and in one day and one night, they lost more than twenty brothers, some of whom were killed by savages, some of whom were inflamed and uncontrollable, and some of whom were lost because of miasma and wild beasts.
"You can't lie down like this, and the more you lie down, the less chance the brothers have of getting back up."
Feng Yi braced his body and sat up.
"Brothers, don't lie down, lean on each other, and set off after a good night's sleep."
"Brothers, it was so difficult in there, we all walked out all the way, although many brothers fell, and many brothers left us, but from now on, one of them here counts as one, and they all have to go out, as long as we go out, we will be home......"
Feng Ye shouted, more and more brothers fell, and now even Wang Ying needed Feng Ying's support to walk; As for the stretchers, they were all still in the woods last night, and all the wounded had to rely on themselves now, and the most important ones were supported by two brothers, and the lighter ones were supported by one brother.
"Get up and go!"
It was already deep in the night, and after eating the last of their food, all the people were full of water, and they set out again, with their rifles and brethren around them.
