Indiana Jones

Chapter 137 Getting Worse (05)

The devils were in full swing below, and they lost so much before midnight, and they were furious, but when things got to this point, they lost their temper and vented their anger. They didn't solve the substantive problem at all. Seeing the devils who had been sucked dry He was so angry that there was nothing he could do. The monster's tentacles could directly penetrate the clothes and penetrate into the muscles, and it could accurately find the blood vessels to suck blood, and the speed of blood sucking was so fast that it was too late for rescue.

"If this goes on, our people will soon be exhausted. This area is too dangerous." Miyamoto said to Kawaguchi, "We must find those Chinese teams as soon as possible, get the things and leave as soon as possible."

"I know." Kawaguchi said coldly, "Do you think I don't want to? Do you think I would like to stay in this forest?" Kawaguchi said more and more angry.

"From the traces discovered today, we can see that they are not far away, probably within a radius of one kilometer. If we speed up our progress tomorrow, we should be able to catch up with them before noon." Miyamoto said, "So I think dawn Let's go one step ahead..."

"Yes." Kawaguchi nodded happily, "Your gunfire is our direction, go to the elites of the empire."

"Yes, I will fulfill my mission." Miyamoto stood at attention and saluted, and found a place to sleep contentedly. Although he is still in danger, he is not required to participate in defensive deployment as an officer. Besides, he has already obtained Kawaguchi's If you agree, you will naturally have to recharge your batteries for tomorrow's action.

The devils narrowed the defensive area, surrounded by bonfires, and the sentries were several meters apart. The devils in charge of the sentries all held submachine guns. The purpose was to rely on the density of firepower to eliminate threats that might arise at any time and reduce their own casualties.

These devils learned how to behave, and they all came down from the trees and spread tarpaulins on the ground and lay next to each other. It was inevitable that they would be too scattered and be attacked again.

Si Xuanyi and the others listened to the conversation between Kawaguchi and Miyamoto verbatim, but the problem is that none of them can understand Japanese. This is the biggest problem. probably know.

"At this density, our attack can kill at least half of them." Rhodes looked at the situation below and said in a low voice.

"Then we don't want to live." Si Xuanyi said, "Devils are not so easy to kill."

"At least you can gamble." Rhodes whispered.

"No, there are only seven or eight in our field of vision, and the others are blocked by trees. It is impossible for us to launch an attack to kill all the devils we see in the first round of attacks, but the counterattack of the devils will cost us a lot." A huge price, we can't avoid it on this cliff, as long as there is one devil left to throw a grenade or use a grenade on our side, we will be completely finished, this hole is still too small, and there is no place to hide place." Li Siming said that Rhodes understood that he was trying his best to oppose his proposition, no matter how much his own method had a chance of winning, these Chinese soldiers did not intend to give it a try. Although what Li Siming said was very reasonable, the problem It's not that they have no chance of winning. After all, they are in a worrying situation now, and if they don't take measures, they may have no chance to leave.

"Wait a little longer, this is a solution, but I don't recommend taking such a big risk unless it is absolutely necessary." Si Xuanyi did save Rhodes some face, but his attitude was actually similar to Li Siming's.

Rhodes can only express helplessness about this. After all, he is a minority here, and he cannot influence the final decision of this team. Even if he can play a leading role in the battle, that is when everyone else is willing. Under the premise of participating in the battle, but now I am afraid that no one except himself has any interest in fighting the devils with real knives and guns, and the main reason for this is the number of devils and their unfavorable position, but the problem The reason is that there are too many variables to survive here, and the possibility of the devils finding them tomorrow is more than [-]%.

After deploying the camp, Miyamoto redeployed the manpower. He divided the sentry into two parts that pay attention to the trees and the ground, so as to ensure that threats emerging from different directions can be detected in the shortest time, although this seems to improve the effectiveness. The level of defense, but in the forest, the effect it can play is quite limited. In the jungle, the biggest problems faced by human beings are blocked vision and insufficient hearing. It is impossible to see farther places, and the jungle under the darkness at night makes people become blind. Campfires and torches cannot guarantee long-distance lighting, which also provides the best for many nocturnal creatures. This is the best time for them to hunt. On the other hand, human beings can't see any advantages at all except being constrained by the environment. The use of firearms only increases the bargaining chips of human beings. It is a bargaining chip to survive in the jungle, but there is no guarantee that humans can rely on these firearms to seize more opportunities. The jungle is fair, and firearms can only give people a short-term advantage, but it definitely does not mean that you are strong.

When Kawaguchi faced this nightmare jungle, he always had the illusion that he was going to die at any moment. He couldn't tell what would suddenly pop up and bite him in the next second. Every time he airdrops, he will deliberately ask for double or even more deworming doses. Although this is the tropical jungle deworming medicine designated by the Ministry of War, the effect is not very good here. It can only be used for one person. A small number of insects are effective, and snakes can block more than half of them. It does not mean that the remaining snakes are not afraid of this medicine, but because many snakes will climb down from the tree to attack. Full of insect repellent has become the safest way to spend the night, but the problem is that not only snakes will attack them, for example, the blood-sucking beast tonight gave Kawaguchi a headache, judging from the broken limbs, it is a kind of covering Beasts camouflaged by vegetation, at least they saw blood and animal body tissues, instead of complete tree branches as they appeared on the surface, but they still couldn't tell what it was at all based on these clues.

Kawaguchi also wanted to leave this place earlier, but he felt that as a soldier, especially a glorious imperial soldier, he had to fulfill his mission. The higher-ups specially sent him here because he valued his jungle combat experience, even though the experience was such a ghost. The place didn't play a big role, so he had to find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo as soon as possible. Although he didn't think an ancient object had much magic power to turn things around, as an order, he still had to do his best to complete it, no matter what he experienced in the jungle. What, no matter how many imperial soldiers died in this forest, this is not something he should consider. The attitude of the superior is quite clear, regardless of the cost, then he can only move forward regardless of the cost. These two days Kawaguchi's loss was quite large, almost 90.00% of the troops were replaced. They lost six people in the heavy rain last night. They sent fifty paratroopers to supplement his team during the airdrop in the morning, but after landing and joining him There were only twenty or so, and some of them fell near other search teams, so there was no need to risk coming to him, but after contacting other teams, he found that he could really count the paratroopers who had joined each team. There were only 33 people, and the remaining 17 people were all missing. These newly joined soldiers did not have the exhausted body and mind of his subordinates who were tortured by the jungle before, but they also lacked the necessary survival experience in this jungle, and this is not the case. More experience is often related to whether they can survive the first two days and two nights, but this morning when they were marching, they strayed into the pool due to stagnant water, were attacked by crocodiles, and lost many people.

Later, Kawaguchi got another message when he contacted the above. The total number of paratroopers dropped this time was to supplement the overall strength of the entire area. A total of more than 160 people were parachuted. To [-] people, the number of missing people is close to [-], which is several times more than expected. He knows very well that those soldiers are unlikely to survive for too long in this jungle by fighting alone, but just now he agreed with the palace. Ben went to chase the Chinese soldiers alone. In fact, he didn't like Miyamoto's conceit and arrogance. He was even tired of it these days. Anyway, if he was willing to die, he could tell him. At least he could get his ears clean.

Today, Miyamoto found a large number of mud footprints, and they are very fresh. The footprints were left by the few Chinese soldiers they followed, which shows that the distance between those Chinese soldiers is not far from them, and it may not exceed half a day's journey. , or even closer, after chasing to this vicinity, it was completely dark, and it was unrealistic to continue searching. In desperation, he had to order camping, although he knew very well that the possibility of those people trekking at night was unlikely, and it was very likely He escaped from this horrible night somewhere nearby, but due to environmental factors, he couldn't continue chasing him. On the cliff a few meters away.

Thinking of these things, Kawaguchi couldn't help sighing, it's time to go to bed, it's still unknown what will happen tomorrow, maybe there's bigger troubles waiting ahead, just when he was about to go to sleep, he suddenly heard a burst of unclear sound coming from above. At first he didn't pay attention to the snoring, but then he realized that the direction of the sound was not right. At the same time, several soldiers on guard raised their heads and focused their attention on the canopy, but all the people above had withdrawn , this snore...

Kawaguchi got goosebumps all over his body, he immediately got up to look for the source of the sound, and soon he found that the sound did not come from the canopy of the tree, but the cliff that was close at hand, but the snoring came and went quickly, just one long one short two After the sound, it stopped abruptly, and there was no way for them to judge the specific location of the sound, but Kawaguchi had already aroused his vigilance, and he stared at the dim cliff and frowned...
