Chapter 271: Into the Jungle
When it was time for dinner, my cousin had time to take care of me! asked Daria to give her cousin tea, and received a congratulatory gift from her cousin and cousin, which made Daria so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut all night! Persuade your cousin to drink more diligently! Let Uncle Tang drink too much happily, and he shrugged apologetically to Commander Feng, so he can only talk about it tomorrow! I accompanied Lao Chen to drink, talked about the difficulties of the past, and drank Lao Chen a lot! This is not drunk, everyone is drunk.
The next day, when the cousin sobered up, it was almost noon, and the cousin said that he was old, and he would be so drunk that he would delay things with a little wine. Commander Feng said a few words about the old man and the strong, which calmed the cousin's emotions. Uncle Tang gave a general account of the situation in Macao, and although the devils did not enter Macao, they basically surrounded Macao in the middle. Now, except for air passages, Chinese basically dare not leave Macao by water or land. Since they no longer transport supplies from Macao, everyone in the Li family is basically unnoticed, and their safety is much better. After leaving, my cousin presided over the affairs of Macao, and the core task was to maintain the navigation base station.
He gave a detailed introduction to his cousin about the domestic situation and the situation in Xi'an, especially the prediction of natural disasters in recent years by "experts", the disaster situation in Henan, the living conditions of the common people, etc., and described his grandfather's methods. Let the cousin have a comprehensive understanding of the matter, so that he can be mentally prepared to deal with it.
"I knew about the difficulties at home, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult! Our Li family can't be left behind in this matter! When I got back, I talked to my people thoroughly and asked them for help! It can also improve their living conditions by the way! Don't worry, I'll do my best to get things done! ”
"Uncle Cousin, please contact the second uncle and ask him what name he has prepared for you. Communicate with my uncle again to see if his itinerary is coordinated with each other. I don't have anything to worry about with the two of you, and I have other things to do, and I can't do anything. Great work! Lao Chen's matter has passed, you pay attention to protection, don't let him have another accident, he is the first person to follow me! One has left, this one I cherish! ”
"A cadre, but it's a pity that his temperament is softer. For the sake of the Anti-Japanese War, I don't even cherish myself, and Lao Chen is no exception! I made it clear to him when I was in Macau, and he knew what he would encounter when he returned home! ”
Uncle Cousin has nothing to say when it comes to this, and he has nothing to say! I can only nod my head in agreement. Oh, yes! Aren't you also planning to go to Myanmar? What's the pity? Pity people?
repeatedly persuaded Dalia to entrust her cousin to bring Daria back to the base, and he was reluctant to let her go to Myanmar to suffer. Lieutenant Yin had no choice but to wait here for the drunken man who was not certain whether he came or not to receive the designated supplies.
Commander Feng telegraphed that the 200-kilogram incendiary bomb burned in the jungle for three hours, and the burned place was estimated to have a diameter of 5 kilometers. According to the analysis, the previous burning was maintained by incendiary bombs, followed by dried trees, and with the water vapor of the jungle too much, the trees could no longer be dried. It is expected that the effect of a larger incendiary bomb will not be much better than this! With a diameter of 5 kilometers on flat land, a few in a row can be used to airdrop supplies, which is enough!
The supplies from Mumbai arrived, and the scouts' equipment had been equipped with the squad, and the team entered Lido under the leadership of Ni Pengfei. It's just that the guide is difficult to find, and it's been a few days, and there is no one! There is no choice but to wait! Allow time for scout training too! After Dalia left, she took Li Mingyu to Liduo to follow the training, and humbly came to Xinjiapo to learn jungle combat and survival.
When the supplies from the United States arrived, he asked Cousin Wei to arrange for the sewing of lantern suits with parachute cloth to prevent leeches. The delta wing arrived and let Li Mingyu start training the scouts from Xinjiapo, requiring everyone to be able to drive, but except for the three who were airsick, everyone else was happy to do it, and the driving of this thing was easy to learn! For a while, large crows flew all over the world, which scared the local aborigines! The slowest speed of this thing can be maintained at more than 20 kilometers per hour, and it can be used for emergency rescue, using ropes and hooks, although it is too far worse than a helicopter, after all, it is also an emergency means, of course, it is very dangerous! Putting people in the trees is sure to be over!
The delta wing ceiling is able to reach 2000 meters, and it can fly more than 400 kilometers with auxiliary fuel tanks! Fly more than 200 kilometers without auxiliary fuel tanks, this section of Savage Mountain is a hilly area, the mountain height is not more than 1500 meters, and the distance from the straight line to the new Pingyang is more than 100 kilometers, so there is no problem in flying off-road people's mountains, of course, foggy days will definitely not dare to do this! The rainy season is probably of little use either!
There are only four guides that Brother Wei is looking for, one is a gem smuggler, two are from the Jingpo tribe, one is a hunting native Naga, and all four are able to speak a few words of English, and this native seems to be a not simple character in their clan! And the smuggler can also speak Burmese. I signed a confidentiality agreement and a contract, and I am considered my own person.
Seeing that everything is ready, the time is also at the end of January. The Japanese had already begun to invade Burma, and even the British with India were getting nervous. Let Cousin Wei take the smuggling guide, a jewelry expert from China, and three airsick scouts, plus Cousin Wei's guards and managers. Take a flight to Myitkyina with $1 million in cash, set up a base in Menggong Town, set up a larger base in the north of the town, buy land or something, build some large simple warehouses for backup, and go to Pakang to purchase jade.
I took 3 guides, 7 people from Li Mingyu, 12 people from Ni Pengfei and a total of 22 people with myself, and 10 pack horses to set off for the jungle to Xinpingyang. The 3 guides each carried 20 kilograms, the others included 30 kilograms for themselves and 100 kilograms for pack horses, carrying everything they could think of. The person in charge of the action group is Ni Pengfei! I and Li Mingyu also have to obey other people's orders! Of course, he is still a transcendent existence, and he is the last one to make up his mind! The guide was given a machete as a weapon, and the hunter guide also gave him a bolt-action rifle, and when he heard that it was given to him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly gave his own earthen gun to the clansmen, and every day he took the gun to do aiming movements.
Li Duo left 10, Li Mingyu 3 under him, and Ni Pengfei with 7, responsible for the protection of the base and 2 delta wings in the air every day to contact the team in order to make emergencies!
According to the guide, now is the best time to take this road, and it is true that the road is much easier than imagined, of course, it refers to the squad, which is definitely a disaster for the team. On the first day, I estimated that I walked more than 20 kilometers slowly! At this rate, it should take 5 days to reach New Pingyang. When encountering a relatively flat place, let Li Mingyu bring 5 kilograms of napalm, tie a few trees, and light a mark, which will be the place to drop bombs in the future! Seeing the big tree being devoured by the flames, a new Jiapo scout who knew wood shouted that good wood was wasted!
Further in, it was not so good at first, the traces of the road were obvious, but the big trees on both sides covered the sky and the sun, and the sky was basically invisible, and the sound of the delta wings could be heard, but it was not visible. I still ordered to set fire to the trees every 5 kilometers or so, at least it is much safer to camp in the burned place! It looks like there will be napalm in the aid!
Amid the howling of apes and wolves and the sounds of various unknown birds and beasts, they marched. Of course, with the hunter, don't worry about the lack of bullets, the food you bring is basically not consumed, the rise of the scout is also compared with the hunter marksmanship, each admires, the marksmanship is much more accurate than the scout, but against the prey is more gained! A variety of prey with mushrooms and wild vegetables unique to the jungle, plus the hunter's unique method, can make people feast! There is tea to solve the problem of greasy, and food becomes something to satisfy cravings! The hunter also left the fur that was worth keeping.
There is nothing to be particularly nostalgic for, the speed of travel is also faster, the legendary leeches have not been seen, and the poisonous snakes are all walking around us, probably because we have too much sulfur and realgar on our bodies, and the most common time to listen to the guide is the rainy season or the jungle at the water's edge will be more!
On the sixth day, I arrived at Xinpingyang, and I estimated that the distance was about 160 kilometers.
