Chapter 81: Absolute Confidence

"This fruit is called snake fruit, there are many in the mountains, some people say that it is poisonous, but in fact, it is edible, but it is not sweet."

"But you still have to wash it first, because it grows on the ground, and some animals will gnaw on it, and it's very dirty."

"This is the feathers of a dumb chicken, this pheasant sells very expensively, and it can be caught in the net, but it is worthless if it is killed."

"Be careful with your feet, there are many tree holes in this land, which are formed after the roots of the trees are rotten, and it is easy to twist your feet when you step on them."

The 6 people walked through the jungle, Lin He's physical strength was especially strong, he could even explain to others while walking, and under his leadership, the 6 people traveled a lot faster.

He always finds the best route in the complex jungle, and many times, he does not hesitate to choose the most labor-saving way to cross it, even though he is in front of him with a dense and opaque bush.

The most exaggerated thing is that, at first, his route seems nothing unusual, but if you deviate even one step from his steps, the difficulty will suddenly increase.

The foliage has become tough, the thorns have become thick, and even the foothills of the ground have become much more rugged.

The jungle, which is almost indistinguishable in the eyes of everyone, is completely different in his eyes.

"In fact, there are many roads in the jungle, and they are not called roads when they are exposed to the ground, and the exposed ground is basically a beast road, and if you walk up, you will be discovered by the prey."

"There are places where you don't have a road, but you're just blocked by a large leaf, and you can walk through it."

"On the contrary, those places that are not very dense from above are usually covered with a lot of rattan thorns and so on."

Hearing Lin He's words, Chen Shen nodded secretly.

This is not some metaphysics, but the accumulation of experience.

As Lin He said, because the light is completely obscured in the places covered with plants and broad leaves, the rain and light at the lower parts of the surface are relatively scarce, and the low shrubs and vines grow less, so it is much easier to pass through.

And if an area is not occupied by broad-leaved plants, it will be filled with small-leaved shrubs.

It's completely scientific, and it's fully usable.

It's really a treasure, with such a person by his side, the jungle combat effectiveness of the Dongfeng Corps is conservatively estimated to increase by more than 20%.

After leaving Camp 2, the six people walked for a full 5 hours, but the physical exertion was less than the previous 4 hours, and even Ji Ya survived and did not need to take drugs again.

At two o'clock in the evening, 26 hours had passed since the departure of the Dongfeng Corps, and their overall rest time did not exceed 6 hours, and they once again reached the critical point of physical strength.

So, Chen Shen ordered to rest at Camp No. 3 by the river and wait for dawn to continue the departure.

The double-layered heat-reflecting fence for the fire had already been erected before, all built with yellow mud and covered with vegetation, which came in handy at this time, and could avoid the thermal imaging search of the Lion Corps to a certain extent.

——

Of course, if it is observed from the air, then there is no way.

But Chen Shen didn't believe that they could have a helicopter, if they really had, then he would definitely not hesitate to send Ji Ya to kill them, and then throw himself into the camp of the Lion Corps.

After all, having helicopters means that they are the strongest force in the vicinity of Monka

The flames rose, and the dew-soaked clothes of the people sitting around the campfire rose into a white mist, Chen Shen unfolded the map and re-examined the escort plan according to the positioning that had been made long ago and the current state of the team.

"Now we are only 26 kilometers away from Wantongyin Pass, which is about four hours faster than we originally planned, and overall it is quite smooth."

"However, we used too much energy in the first half of the journey, and we needed longer and longer breaks later."

"We estimate that it will take at least 50 hours to complete these 26 kilometers."

"That is, we have two more days to go."

"After reaching the Wantongyin Pass, we still need to head south, walking a distance of two kilometers to Nayong Village, which is the most dangerous section, but as long as we can enter Nayong Village, we basically don't have to worry."

"It is the territory controlled by the 756th Brigade of the Southern Shan State Army, and Chesri has already said hello, as long as we go in, we will be safe."

"So the biggest problem now is the Lion Corps."

"They haven't shown up until now, and that's a very bad feeling."

"I suspect that they may have chosen to divide up their forces after learning about our battle with Galoja, intending to control our range and then besiege from a vantage point."

"That is, at worst, they have already guessed our route."

"As a result, the question of whether or not to continue the original route has become a question before us."

"If you keep going, you may face a tough battle at the Wantongyin Pass in the end; If we change course, we will be able to move even longer, and we may be able to catch up with even the large forces of Galoja. ”

"Vote, keep going, or try your luck at a different route?"

Hearing his words, Shi Dakai and Bao Qi, who were around the bonfire, fell silent.

It was indeed an easy decision to make.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Dakai spoke:

"I think we should continue to walk, changing the route is really a matter of luck, and the gambling is too heavy."

Hearing his words, Bao Qi nodded and agreed:

"I also think we have to keep walking, although the Lion Corps may guess our trajectory and set up an ambush at Wantongyin Pass, but at least we can have a prediction."

"If we change course to the south, in case we run into a group of people who are coming towards us, and we are not prepared, it will be trouble."

"It's really a question of whether you can survive the encounter with the Lion Corps"

"Understood."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, he actually knew what the two were worried about, in short, it was a sentence: the number of people was too small.

There are only 4 people in the Dongfeng Corps, plus only 5 people in Lin He, who has no combat experience, even if one of these five people dies, it will be a major loss, which will lead to a significant decrease in the success rate of the operation.

On the other hand, the Lion Corps has a large number of people and a higher tolerance rate for errors, and the chances of making mistakes in the Dongfeng Corps are pitifully few compared to them.

So, unprepared battles should be avoided as much as possible.

Even if you know that there may be an ambush at Wantongyin Pass, it is better to rush over it after careful planning than to try your luck by taking an unfamiliar route.

This is not so much a kind of "prudence", but an extreme self-confidence, because these two people really believe that under the leadership of Chen Shen, as long as there is a prepared battle, there is no reason why they cannot win

But of course, Chen Shen still hopes that the final battle will not happen.

If it were possible, he would have chosen to quickly break through the enemy's lines and then rush to the sheltered area of the 756 Brigade in desperation.

"Then it's already 3-on-1, Li Bang doesn't have to vote, let's go the same way."

Chen Shen opened his mouth and said.

"Understood, go the same way."

The plan was set, Chen Shen glanced at his watch and set aside a 6-hour rest for the team.

Their current situation is certainly not absolutely safe, but they need to rest, and the enemy cannot do without it.

The lead time has not been shortened, and that is enough
