Indiana Jones

Chapter 2 Solitary Village Tukou (01)

few days ago...

There was light rain in the dark sky, and the forest looked hazy under the drizzle. The disturbing light rain had been falling for a long time, and the ground was full of puddles.

In the dense shade of trees on the hillside, Si Yixuan held up his binoculars to observe a small village at the foot of the mountain. He said that the village was actually only a few houses, and the dripping rainwater flowed into the edge of his helmet. Although there is a raincoat on the back of his neck, his clothes are already soaked after several days of trekking in this kind of weather.The American military boots on his feet were already wet and there was no difference between being drenched in water. He didn't need to look at him to know that his feet must be white and fat from the soak.

Si Yixuan's family background is good. Two generations of his grandfather were businessmen. He received a good education since he was a child. He performed well after joining the army. Because of his good cultural foundation, he trained hard at the Ramga Expeditionary Army base, so he was highly valued. He joined the war for less than a year. They were promoted to lieutenant company commander. Apart from advancing bravely in the battle, another main reason was that their company was broken up in a battle, and the company commander was killed, followed by the deputy company commander. In the end, the entire company He was the only one left with the highest military rank, and he insisted on breaking through with half of the companies killed and wounded to return to the station. From that day on, he was directly promoted to lieutenant company commander, and all the disabled companies returned to him after replenishing their forces. .

Three days ago, when his company was marching, it was attacked by the Japanese army and suffered heavy casualties. Seven people including him and Lu Qingxi fled into the jungle. Under the relentless pursuit of the devils, people continued to die. In the end, only he and Lu Qingxi were left. One day later, he met four other expeditionary soldiers, and the six of them formed a new team and planned to go out of the woods to find the team. It can be said simply, there are Japanese devils and man-eating primitive jungles everywhere, and it is difficult to go out. It's not that easy.

Curled up next to him in a raincoat holding a crushed donkey (US-made M1A1 11.43mm submachine gun) in a daze is Lu Qingxi, a native of Shandong, who is not small, but black and thin. Since the fall of his hometown and lost contact with his family, he has been I was restless all day, and then I lost my hometown village and was wiped out by the devils. After crying a lot, I was in a daze all day long.

A little farther away is Silian's cook Ma Zhong, who is from Henan. Si Xuanyi doesn't know him, but he can explain Silian's affairs clearly, so Si Xuanyi reluctantly accepts him to join this "gangster" "Squad", at this time this guy is trying to get familiar with the Garand rifle in his hand (M1 Garand rifle). Looking for the feeling of cooking.

The one on the left with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth is Li Siming. He is a sniper in the Second Company, and he is carrying a Springfield M1903 sniper rifle. The one is fairly solid and has a good physique. According to him, men in the Northeast are five big and three thick. It's really hard to find a well-proportioned man like him. He is a rare breed and everyone should protect it.

The one on the right who eats wild vegetables as snacks is Agui, an ethnic minority in Yunnan. As for what ethnicity it is, Xuanyi doesn’t remember. He was born in the mountains and grew up in the mountains. He has attended private schools for several years, has no formal education, and speaks a local dialect that he doesn’t understand. , His purpose of joining the army is purely to make a living. A few dollars a month can make his family live a very well-off life. His only redeeming feature is that he is familiar with the subtropical jungle. This may be because he was not kicked. The main reason to go to training camp.

The horse face with the mouth open to drink from the rain is called Li Guoshou. This is an unusual, out-of-group machine gunner from the Second Company, but he does not have a Czech light machine gun or a Type 92 crooked handle. The only thing he can use is a seized one. Sanba Dagai, this guy is a thorny head, there is nothing he dare not mess with.

The last thing I didn't mention was a woman named Liang Rong. She was not a soldier, she was sent by the superiors. It is said that she was sent by Nanjing. She was an official and a talented student who had stayed abroad. With background, the head of the regiment took good care of her and specially gave her his Browning pistol for self-defense. Si Xuanyi met her once during the regiment headquarters meeting, and it was this fate that saved her life. During the great defeat, Si Xuanyi found that she had fallen into a trap and couldn't climb up. She was covered in mud and desperately called for help. At that time, everyone was only concerned about running for their own lives and ignored her. Behind them was a large group of devils, Si Xuanyi I didn't want to save her, but in the end I couldn't bear to go back and give her a hand. Women are considered different in this team. Because of her status, no one dared to provoke her, but no one flattered her. She just followed silently. In this kind of place, she knows the consequences of being alone, and Si Xuanyi doesn't take special care of her. He can't even take care of his own life, and he doesn't have the mood to take care of others. There are no women in his team. He was willing to give up, but fortunately, Liang Rong was self-aware and took the initiative to take on the role of a medical soldier. According to him, he had worked as a nurse abroad, but from the way she was very unfamiliar, it could be seen that she was trying hard Focusing on the value of her own existence... This is a woman with a strong sense of self-protection. Since joining this team, she has tried to keep a distance from everyone unless necessary, and tied an American-made grenade that she got from no one knows where. , she didn't want to fall into the hands of the devil, let alone be insulted by her own people...

The gathering of these seven people gave Si Xuanyi a headache. The mix and match of these birdmen is simply a strange combination with no fighting power, and it is impossible to carry out effective tactical coordination. In this kind of jungle where devils can be encountered at any time, the close Coordination is too important. After the first encounter, he found that these people were just a bunch of loose sand. As soon as the gun was fired, they went desperately into the forest. There was no cover or alternate retreat, and they would run for their lives. If it weren't for this forest The environment here is complicated enough, and their "mixed" team has long been wiped out by well-trained devils.

Although he is a lieutenant, it is really not easy to deal with soldiers in this kind of place. The only reason why the gang has not broken up now is that one cannot survive alone in the forest, except for wild beasts and man-eating jungles. There are Japanese devils everywhere.

"If you want to do it, do it fucking, don't act like an old woman." Horse-faced Li Guoshou said impatiently sarcastic remarks.

"I don't know how many devils there are down there, don't fool around; give me that thing of yours." Ma Zhong stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the village. He couldn't see anything clearly because he was too far away, so he wanted to borrow Si Xuanyi's binoculars , In fact, they all know how many enemies there are below, but he doesn't want to take risks, it should be said that he doesn't want to take risks by himself, and he doesn't care about others.

"What the fuck do you have to talk to me?" Ma looked at Ma Zhong with disdain, "What?"

"You young man, what did you say?" Ma Zhong blushed angrily, "I..."

"Shut up, fuck me." Si Xuanyi growled, and the two of them fell silent. He is the supreme commander here, and several people still have to give this face, because they still remember that they are members of the army. , although they are rout soldiers and stragglers, they absolutely do not admit that they are deserters, nor are they hooligans. Most of those who can enter the expeditionary army have a certain cultural foundation, so their quality is correspondingly higher. After all, there are very few educated people. The most important thing is that they all know that a leader is needed in this kind of team, and a person needs to make up their own minds to make decisions. A team that is too loose can't make a difference in this kind of team. survive in the environment.

There is a small village next to the road at the foot of the mountain. To say it is a small village is a bit of an exaggeration, because there are only seven or eight wooden houses here. There are more than [-] corpses thrown in the ditch on the other side of the road. They were the original owners of the wooden houses, but now He had been mercilessly massacred, and his corpse was abandoned in a deep pit. Two Japanese soldiers beside him were talking and laughing while urinating into the pit.

When Si Xuanyi arrived here, he saw a group of Japanese devils massacring the villagers here. A row of tied men, women, old and children stood by the roadside. Several Japanese soldiers brutally killed these defenseless villagers with bayonets. stabbed to death and pushed the body into a deep pit.

The horrific massacre happened hundreds of meters away at the foot of the mountain, but Si Xuanyi could do nothing about it. There was at least a small Japanese army below, and there were only seven of them. Just as they were about to leave, the devils actually started Evacuated, two trucks drove south, leaving only a few wounded soldiers and five devils in charge of guards. For the seven people who were almost out of ammunition and food, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Kill these devils to replenish some With ammunition and supplies, their chances of surviving in the woods will increase exponentially, but they also know that the devils are well-trained, and it is not easy to deal with just a few of them. I don't know, it's still unknown how many people can really contribute once the fight starts, so he is hesitating whether to do it or not.

"Our ammunition can't support a large-scale consumption, but it should be enough to deal with these devils, just take a little risk." Li Siming said softly. He has a calm personality and rarely expresses opinions, but then he added another sentence , immediately made Si Xuanyi feel a little unpleasant, "I still have 120 rounds of rifle ammunition, [-] rounds of pistol ammunition, and four grenades, which can last for quite a long time. As for you, please ask for blessings."

"I don't believe that you can walk out of this forest alone." Agui rebuked him.

"I'm here to beat devils, and I have no intention of going back alive." Li Siming looked at Agui with indifference.

"Okay, you can die if you don't quarrel, right?" Si Xuanyi's face darkened, "I decided to kill these devils and grab their ammunition. Those who are willing to do it with me will stay, and those who are not willing to do it can get out now."

No one spoke, no one left, and no one looked at him. Lu Qingxi continued to hold "crushed the donkey" in a daze, while the cook Ma Zhong scolded his mother, "I'm a cook who doesn't just know how to use frying spoons." Li Siming pulled the spring field M1903 Gun Bolt didn’t speak, but his attitude was obvious; Agui continued to eat his wild vegetables, as if this matter had nothing to do with him; Li Guoshou with a horse face covered Sanba and muttered, “I’ve had enough wild vegetables, and I’m still pointing at the Devil, improve the food." Liang Rong didn't say anything, but pulled out her own Browning. She knew her position in this team, and understood that Si Xuanyi was her only support. Although they were not familiar with each other, she It's clear who to stand with.

Si Xuanyi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. His company commander might not even count as a fart in the eyes of these birds. A large number of devils contended, that was no different from courting death, so they gathered together, and because this mixed team needed a leader, and because of his official position, everyone automatically elected him to the position of leader In fact, this is not a kind of obedience, but a kind of dependence. The reason is very simple. The fleeing team needs a backbone, but they don't trust this backbone enough. Si Xuanyi understands all this. He sees it, But there is nothing he can do about it, these people are too oily, it is not something that can be done in a short time, they just met for less than three days, and he doesn't want to take care of these guys, just being with him can save his life, that's all That's all, but life-saving requires full cooperation, which is a bit contradictory.

Si Xuanyi nodded: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's do it as soon as possible. Now that there are not many devils, we still have the ability to eliminate them, but I have one request, that is, the battle must be under my command."

Seeing that no one objected, Si Xuanyi continued: "Li Siming, you go to ambush on the western hillside and are responsible for killing the devil's sentry; Lu Qingxi, Agui, and Ma Lian, the three of you go around from the south and kill the sentry after Li Siming kills the sentry." The devil in the wooden house on the south side; Ma Zhong, you and I deal with the one behind the door; Liang Rong...you follow Li Siming."

The reason why Si Xuanyi made such an arrangement was that Si Xuanyi had his own intentions. Among these five people, Lu Qingxi was a soldier in his previous company. What will go wrong? Ma Zhong is a cook with the weakest combat effectiveness, so there is no guarantee that he will not run away, so he can see for himself that it is easy to deal with any situation at a critical moment. If it doesn't work, kill him to avoid being exposed; as for Although Li Siming is not very gregarious, he is at least a qualified fighter. After two days of understanding, he found that this kid hates devils more than anything. As long as the battle starts, he never backs down; while Liang Rong has been completely excluded from the fighting team. It's her job to stay out of trouble.

"Don't drag me back." Li Siming glanced back at Liang Rong. He didn't like this woman very much, but he wasn't disgusted either.

Liang Rong bit her lip and blushed with a little anger, but she still didn't speak in the end.

After assigning tasks, everyone prepared separately, and then scattered into the jungle. The rain became heavier, the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and thunder could be vaguely heard.

Si Xuanyi and the cook went down the hillside one after the other, and approached the road under the cover of the forest. The sound of the rain provided them with good cover, but the muddy ground also brought inconvenience to their actions. little difficulty.

Soon they arrived at the side of the road. To be safe, they made a big circle, crossed the road from a long distance, and then quickly headed towards the small village from the other side. When they arrived, the three of Lu Qingxi on the other side had already arrived at the designated location , they couldn't see each other, they could only rely on Li Siming's gunfire on the hillside as a signal...
