Chapter 368: Exploration Mission

After Hou Bei led the recruits to review the equipment characteristics of both the enemy and us, the squad leader Du Luoming took his place and stood in front of the map.

"After knowing the equipment of both sides of the enemy, let's talk about the things that need to be paid attention to when fighting, with the continuous upgrading of the equipment of modern warfare, scattering formations and digging foxholes is very important for the safety of any troops, we need to dig trenches before the enemy bombards, and the more the merrier, which is called sweating more before the war, and fighting to shed less blood, which is why we are equipped with sapper shovels.

In addition, most of the places where we will fight next are woodland, but in this kind of place, when the bullet hits the branches and trunks, it will make a loud sound, jump and fly, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction of the enemy's fire, and at this time, our formation should not be dispersed as much as possible, and it will be suppressed by the open fire of the machine guns, after all, a large number of light machine guns in jungle warfare are indispensable weapons for both encounters and storms. ”

Squad Leader Du paused and said: "Tomorrow we will go out for the first time on a patrol mission, everyone cheer up, because we are very likely to encounter the enemy's reconnaissance team, a few days ago, I believe you have all heard that a squad of the third battalion encountered a patrol of little devils while patrolling, and the two sides exchanged fire without preparation."

We sacrificed one recruit but killed three devils, and although this result seemed to be our advantage, it was not actually the result we wanted, and in terms of our equipment and numbers, one for three was not qualified.

Let me tell you one thing, our commander proposed when he first trained us, when our elite soldiers of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce face the little devils, at least one for ten, even if they want to die, they must kill enough enemies temporarily! Moreover, we go to the battlefield to fight not to send the enemy to death, but to send the enemy to die.

Here, I need to emphasize to you again, each of our lives are very important, only by living can we have the opportunity to kill more little devils, the necessary retreat and detour are not cowardice, and the strategic persistence and sacrifice are not reckless, of course, these are still a little difficult to tell you now, and you will slowly experience it in the future. ”

After the theoretical knowledge was taught in the new barracks, the veterans took everyone out of the barracks and began their daily drills.

Facing the actual combat patrol mission on the second day, the recruits in the third shift were nervous and excited, and some even had insomnia.

Early the next morning, the deputy squad leader Monkey pulled everyone up from the bed with a roar and a curse.

"Hurry, hurry, whoever reacts faster when the two armies engage will directly determine who the victory belongs to! Now give you two minutes to wash your face, brush your teeth, and get dressed, and then if anyone hasn't already stood on the playground for me, just wait for the all-night practice! ”

"Yes...... Be! I wore it in the ...... I wore it! ”

Li Dakui hurriedly put on his clothes, but when he turned his pants over and took them off and put them back on, he saw that his comrades-in-arms were already standing at the door one by one staring at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You ...... How do you guys wear it so fast? ”

Yao Erbing said with a smile: "Only you, a stupid big night, slept and took off to sleep, we all slept in clothes, who knows if the enemy will attack at night?" Did you listen carefully when the squad leader was speaking? ”

"I ...... I'm used to falling asleep at night, so it's comfortable. ”

"Habit? This habit of yours is likely to kill you! Silly big man, get punished~ Let's go out first. ”

"Don't ...... Other! Wait, wait! ”

When Li Dakui appeared on the playground in disheveled clothes, the eyes of the deputy squad leader monkey could drip blood.

Li Dakui...... You wooden stake, just wait for more training tonight...... Now, we're going to scout in squads, all as we did in the previous training, and now, run forward! ”

The ten people of the third squad formed a column under the leadership of the squad leader, left the valley base where they had been training for a month, and began to patrol in the direction of the east.

As the ten-man patrol team moved away from the base, the recruits turned from initial excitement to nervousness and apprehension.

Once out of the control range of the base, even the usually babbling deputy squad leader Monkey no longer spoke loudly, but clenched the gun in his hand, and his eyes scanned around like a searchlight.

Although Wang Lianhao and his family have been operating here for a long time, they have left the human settlement, and most of the surrounding areas are some primeval forests.

The trees are towering, the rivers are crisscrossed, and during the rainy season the water is so strong that it is difficult for boats to navigate, and in the dry season, the rivers can become channels.

In this triangle at the junction of China, India and Myanmar, it is usually divided into two seasons: rain and drought, from late May to October, it is the rainy season, the weather is cool, the humidity is extremely heavy, and all kinds of mosquitoes, locusts, and miasma are unbearable.

The dry season is from November to May, when it is often windy and rarely rains, especially in December, when the wind is at its strongest, and after January it gradually warms up.

It was autumn, and the rainy season had just passed, and these recruits were at least able to march relatively smoothly.

While everyone was walking, the squad leader Du Luoming raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and everyone stopped moving forward and stood by the realm.

At this time, the deputy squad leader monkey made a gesture to point to the left and right of the team, and the reconnaissance squad was immediately divided into two groups, led by machine gunners, lined up in two conical formations, one in front of the other, and began to search slowly in front of them.

In this patrol squad, there are six recruits and four veterans.

In addition to the squad leader and deputy squad leader, the snipers and engineers in the team are also veterans, while the recruits mostly serve as riflemen and machine gunners, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader each carry a radio communication device.

This kind of radio communicator, newly developed by the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, is not only small in size, but also has a strong signal, and it is the first time it has been put into actual combat in this Pacific and Southeast Asian battle.

According to previous intelligence, the Japanese army roaming around Burma was mainly composed of the 33rd Division of the Hyuga 15th Army, which was more numerical than the Dragon Chamber.

But fortunately, Wang Lianhao and his people have been operating here for a long time, and they have a good reputation among the local people, and their weapons and equipment are more than one grade stronger than the enemy, which also leads to the hard steel valley base where the Japanese army is superior in numbers, but also does not dare to blatantly do so.

After all, they were not able to capture it when it was not developed here, and now that all kinds of anti-aircraft guns, heavy guns, and sniper points are readily available, the Japanese army may have to send a group army if they want to capture this place.

Of course, that is impossible, they are now fighting on two fronts, on the one hand, they are involved in the land of China by various guerrillas and cannot get out, on the other hand, on the Pacific battlefield, all kinds of nameless islands are scattered, after the federal government officially declared war and sent troops, Hong Ah Gui also led his fleet, according to the pre-planned to take several key islands, which made the Japanese military and navy feel extremely nervous, it is impossible to send a group army to Burma in this situation, unless their commanders have bad brains.

"Monkey ...... Brother Monkey, how far are we going east? I think I've been out for half an hour, and I haven't encountered the enemy until now, so can I go back? ”

Li Dakui swallowed his saliva a little nervously, poked the monkey's ribs with his finger, and asked in a low voice.

"Rubbish! Look at your bear-like, white and so big, don't you notice that we're not walking in a straight line at all? We're going to explore around the base in a semicircle, remember what I've told you before, and be good at discerning directions, whether it's in the jungle, the desert, or the ocean, you have to figure out where you are, Yue Baoqu, you tell him where we are. ”

The square-faced man who claimed to be Yue Fei's descendant replied: "We are now in the southeast of the base, and we are almost close to the position where the patrol of the third battalion and the Japanese army exchanged fire. ”

"Do you hear that, stupid big man, prick up your ears, and react as soon as there is any movement around."

"Huh? Oh, yes......"

When Li Dakui heard that they were about to walk to the place where the patrol of the third battalion had encountered the enemy last time, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
