Early the next morning, in the light rain and haze, the plane arrived on time at the Maragau line and dropped dozens of boxes, which contained some other supplies in addition to the inner tube requested by Feng Jie; In the Allied air forces in Burma, there are now a large number of Chinese soldiers serving as pilots, who come from universities in the southwest and are trained by the Americans.

There were more than 30 inner tubes dropped, and all of them were afraid of problems during the air transport, so a full 60 tires and matching pumps were packed after inspection.

"Let's go!"

The inner tube is not heavy, especially after the person who has already been reserved for the carry, it is not a problem at all.

Mules and horses were not suitable for entering the jungles of the Kumang Mountains, but marching in the wilderness was not a problem at all, and the weight of up to sixty kilograms allowed the brethren of the commando to travel lightly at the beginning.

"Eat more."

"Be careful!"

……

At the edge of the jungle, the guard battalion escort could only go here, and the brethren of the commando team ate dry food in small bites, drank saliva from time to time, sorted out their equipment, and entered the jungle after a little trimming, and behind them was the gaze of the brethren of the guard battalion.

"One company, covering up the traces of the march, all retreated in a roundabout way to the southwest......"

The commander of the guard battalion shouted, in this weather, it is impossible to keep the traces of the march for a long time, but two days is no problem, in order to prevent the devils or the Burmese from discovering the commandos entering the jungle, they have to clean up the traces all the way, at least not let the devils see that a regiment of troops has disappeared here.

A hundred kilometers, four days, if it is on flat land, it is nothing, but at this time, it is already a month before the rainy season in Burma, no matter how heavy or light the rain will not give the brothers much respite, what is even more terrible is that, for the sake of secrecy, the march cannot rely on the simple roads of the Japanese army, and must pass through the primeval forest. And at this time, the situation in the jungle is also very bad.

"Stop!"

"Rope!"

The reconnaissance company soon realized that they were unable to march normally, and made a stop gesture for the brothers to take out the ropes.

"Be careful!"

With a rope tied around his waist, a brother moved into the mud in front of him, the flat mud of the jungle area, and after a few rains, the accumulated rain corrupted the leaves and softened the soil, turning it into a mud pond.

The brethren of the commando team did not dare to step in, they needed someone to test whether they could pass here.

"Keep going!"

The depth of the flat mud reached the waist of the brethren, and the march in this environment was very physically demanding, and the commando, which had planned to walk thirty kilometers on the first day, stopped when the light was dim.

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yi walked up quickly and asked in Liang Hao's ear.

"It's dark, isn't it?"

Liang Hao pointed to the top of his head.

"Keep walking, it's not raining today, it's a good weather, let the brothers walk with ropes tied, one by one, it won't be too much of a problem."

Feng Yi refused the suggestion to stop, today is still the first day, the brothers still have sufficient physical reserves, if they don't walk a little more at this time, it will be even more difficult to do later.

"Keep going."

With the gesture, the troops slowly continued to move forward.

A hundred kilometers away, the distance on the map at that time, they needed to climb over the Kumang Mountains, the actual distance must be more than one hundred and fifty kilometers, the most important thing is that there are two rivers in the middle, and there are more than ten kilometers of exposed areas next to the rivers, and the time of the commandos is far from as abundant.

"Huhuhu......"

There was no trimming, the commandos were already drenched with sweat, and now it was night, they were climbing the Kumang Mountains at an altitude of 4,000 meters, each company and each platoon were tied with a white rope, and the officers and men were holding the rope and walking, and there were absolutely no lights at night; As for those who are hungry, they can casually stuff a biscuit into their mouths, and when they are thirsty, they will pick up a water bladder and take a sip.

After walking for two hours in the dark, the first order finally arrived, but there was water everywhere, and occasionally a day or two of sunny days did not evaporate the water in the jungle, and several frequent rains made the jungle full of water, and the soldiers could only choose to sit back to back on higher ground, with their legs and feet soaked in water.

As the sky dawned, the commando's good fortune finally came to an end, it rained, and strings of water droplets entered the jungle, and the mountains of Kumang Mountain were steep, and the mountain road was extremely slippery under the action of the rain. To march in such a place, not on 2. legs, but on limbs, many times not walking, but climbing.

The rain continued all day long, and even raincoats could not stop the pillar-like rain, and the soldiers were always damp. With such heavy rain, it was impossible to make a fire or a fire, and clothes could not be dried. The food was all cold and dry food, and as soon as the small amount of canned food I brought was opened, it was filled with rain after a few minutes, and I had to fish it out of the water to eat.

In the afternoon, the creeks in the woods were washed away by the rain, and the bridges had to be built by sappers.

And this so-called bridge, which is nothing more than felled trees, put together, is very slippery, and the soldiers need to climb over it on all fours, so as not to fall into the water and lose their lives.

On the third day, something happened that worried Feng Jie, the water bladder they were carrying was empty, there was no water, and they were walking through the jungle, and the consumption of drinking water was worse than during the battle.

At this time, the benefits of pouring rain are also reflected, find a forest sky, put the steel helmet upside down on the ground, it will be filled with rainwater in less than ten minutes, and then pour the rainwater into the kettle, the hygienist will distribute a white tablet to each person at this time, let him melt naturally in the water bladder, so that the probability of getting sick can be reduced, and the problem of drinking water will be solved (the stagnant water in the woods is toxic and cannot be drunk).

Another benefit was that the torrential rain made the Japanese army blind. This heavy rain was loud in the jungle and completely drowned out the sound of the march.

On the afternoon of the third day, the assault team descended from the Kumang Mountains, where, according to the instructions of BFIPU, they were to cross the Nam Gao River.

Looking at the heavy rain in the sky, Feng Ye didn't think it was a bad thing at this time, because the heavy rain could hide the movement, and when the line of sight was less than five meters, the Japanese outposts along the Nangao River, as long as they didn't collide, would not be discovered.

The same is true of the four lines of time, the brothers of the assault team passed a hundred meters near the enemy post several times, but the Japanese troops inside were unaware.

The turbulent waves of the Nangao River in front of him were not at all the tame appearance of the dry season, and the turbid water, the undulating unknown objects in the river, made the tired commando brothers feel that this was not the river, but the monster that devoured them.

The current position of the assault team is about four kilometers south of the Kameng, which is the gap between the two lines of defense of the Japanese army, of course, the gap is only based on the density of the defense, in fact, there are many Japanese outposts and mobile patrols in the middle, which is why the whole silent march is required.

Of course, there were bridges over the Nangao River, but they couldn't use them, because that would completely expose the commandos' actions.

As for the ferry, the devil didn't leave a ferry boat by the river at all, so the commandos can only solve the problem of crossing the river on the spot now.

Under Feng's order, a company of brothers picked up tools and cut down trees on the spot, and dozens of brothers began to disassemble the inner tube and inflate the tires with pumps.

Of course, there are also brothers who are already collecting ropes and joining them together to form bundles of rope for hundreds of meters.
