Chapter 38 Encountering the U.S. Army on the Way (02)

Si Xuanyi had no way of judging whether meeting the U.S. military was a blessing or increased the risk of exposure, but less than three hours after they set off, they encountered the devils again. The vegetation obscured the eyes of both sides, and the meeting happened in an instant, followed by a fierce battle...

"Si... lead your people to guard the left flank, don't be outflanked by them." This is Rhode's order to Si Xuanyi. They are allies, and Rhodes has a higher military rank than Si Xuanyi, so he has the right to give orders, Si Xuanyi There is also a responsibility to cooperate.

The terrain on the left wing is relatively flat, and the devils have already dispatched troops to outflank the signs, so the pressure on Si Xuanyi and the others is not small. After all, their weapons and ammunition are completely at a disadvantage. The difficulty of suppressing the enemy's attack with the Sanba Dagai and the Springfield sniper rifle is not ordinary. Gao, fortunately Li Siming's precise shooting gave the devil enough deterrent effect. Under the pressure of one bullet and one life, the devil was forced to slow down the momentum of the attack, but this was only temporary, the forest was too dense, Si Xuanyi alone could The few of them couldn't completely defend the left wing, and the devils would soon turn around from a farther place. All they did was to delay time.

Not long after Si Xuanyi and the others fell into a fierce battle with the enemy, Rhodes and the others were already preparing to evacuate. They didn't want to fight the devils to the death. This was considered to reduce the pressure on Si Xuanyi and the others. It was Cang Kuang who fled the battlefield. What Rhodes left for the chasing devil was a rocket. The power of this thing's explosion really shocked the devil. Proudly escaped from the pursuit of the devil...

After escaping to a safe place, everyone was so tired that they almost lay on the ground. Such strenuous exercise at such a temperature would consume a lot of energy on the body.

"Damn..." Rhodes cursed and sat down against the big tree.

"Water..." Li Siming handed the finished water bottle to Si Xuanyi, who took it and took a few sips before he let out a breath.

"Tell him it's not okay to go on like this." Si Xuanyi said to Ma Rong.

After listening to Ma Rong's translation, Rhodes shook his head: "I know it can't be done, but there is no way, we can't just stay in one place like this, no matter which way we go, we have to move, otherwise even if we don't meet RB people will be eaten by this forest sooner or later."

"No, I mean you can't run around like this. There are too many devils in this area. It is estimated that the devils who entered the jungle are all branched in this area. Their progress is about the same as ours, so they often encounter them, or they are a little slower than us. , so we will meet them when we turn around, why not go in first, distance yourself from the devils, wait until a relatively safe place to hide, and turn back after the devils have passed, this can reduce the possibility of encountering devils. "Si Xuanyi said.

Rhodes shook his head: "Why not go back? We don't have that much ammunition consumption if we walk in Wang Linzi, not to mention the devils are behind, and going inside is not a good way to get rid of them."

"Since the devils are behind, we may meet them when we turn around. They may have many teams distributed in this area, and there will be fewer if you go in. You should think carefully about the time and location of the devils. Is this the case? "Si Xuanyi said, in fact, these are his inferences based on the location and time when he encountered the devils in the past two days. Instead, the number of devils encountered plummeted.

Rhodes pondered for a while, and seemed to think that Si Xuanyi's judgment was reasonable, but it was not completely credible. There were too many guesses, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while. At least for now, they couldn't go back, and there were a large number of people behind. Devils are active, unless they move a sufficient distance laterally, and then look for an opportunity to turn back. After all, this is a primitive jungle. No matter how many devils there are, it is impossible to carry out a carpet search. Take advantage, so he still prefers to return.

After listening to Rhode's analysis, Si Xuanyi shook his head. He told Rhode that if he walked back, he would indeed have a chance to avoid devils, but he was more likely to encounter devils. The possibility is even smaller, as long as they find a suitable foothold, they can wait for the opportunity. It is impossible for the devils to stay in the jungle for a long time after waiting for a few days. After a while, whether the devils cross their position or evacuate is the best way for them to reduce the threat.

In fact, there is another unknown reason why Si Xuanyi decided to continue marching deep into the jungle, and that was to use the power of the Americans to escort them through the most dangerous part of the jungle and then return to the area where the border residents gathered. Although it was very selfish, at least there was no need to face For a large number of devils, this is the focus of his consideration. In such a dangerous and harsh environment, there are dangers everywhere. Survival is the first element, and survival is the top priority.

In this way, neither of the two could convince the other, and they quarreled for a while. In the end, Si Xuanyi pretended to be angry, and decided to go their separate ways. Anyway, there was no common goal, so it was better to follow his own ideas. He planned to In order to force Rhodes to agree to his decision, after all, the two groups of people are more likely to live together.

Rhodes thinks that the greatest possibility of survival is that he has enough manpower to contend with this jungle and the devils inside, fighting alone is tantamount to a dead end.In fact, what he values ​​is Si Xuanyi's ability to survive in the jungle. As for combat ability, he has no hope. In his eyes, these Chinese soldiers are peasants with guns. It is impossible to compare them with regular troops like them. People like Si Xuanyi.

Whether to go or stay, they have to make a decision, and Si Xuanyi and the others are not monolithic. It is impossible for Si Xuanyi to represent everyone's attitude. For example, Ma Zhong, he is willing to follow Rhodes who has a gun and bullets. But he didn't want to go alone with the U.S. military, so he messed up in the middle; Agui's attitude was that it would be good if he could be with the U.S. military, at least his strength would increase greatly. Reduce encounters with devils and increase the possibility of surviving in the jungle, but his ideas are too whimsical, how could Rhodes and the others listen to him?However, in this case, the attitudes of Ma Zhong and A Gui have become irrelevant. After all, the Americans do not understand, and it is impossible for Liang Rong to act as an interpreter for them.
Li Siming still didn't clarify his attitude. It was obvious that he was weighing the pros and cons. Only Liang Rong stood firmly on Si Xuanyi's side. She knew very well that only Si Xuanyi could trust him. Although Americans are strong, they are outsiders after all. It is indeed safer to follow them, but out of her own considerations, she still does not trust these Americans. Even if these American troops are capable of fighting the Japanese army, the possibility of her getting out of the jungle alive is much lower than that of Si Xuanyi and the others... …
