Chapter 39 Encountering the U.S. Army on the Way (03)

Unlike Rhodes and the others who have unified thinking, Si Xuanyi and the others almost all have their own ideas and goals, but Ma Zhong is cowardly by nature, and Agui is a person who is easy to be influenced by others. They looked unpredictable, so on the surface, their team was still relatively in control of the overall situation. After he told others about his thoughts, Ma Zhong and Agui stopped talking and left the battlefield It is a good choice to avoid the devils and go to the hinterland of China. It can be said that it is the thing they have dreamed of doing since they entered the jungle but cannot do it. It would be good if the US military can accept Si Xuanyi's "suggestion". These Americans with tall horses, big horses, and powerful combat capabilities will greatly increase their chances of successfully crossing the jungle.

Rhodes' attitude towards this debate is extremely firm, that is, he should lead the entire team, including Si Xuanyi and the others, and his reasons are very good. Under the general background, as the Allied Army Si Xuanyi, they are obliged to obey their command. Secondly, he has deeply experienced the horror of this jungle. He does not want his subordinates to continue to put themselves in danger. It is best to leave here as soon as possible. Therefore, he insisted on evacuating the jungle and returning to the station to rescue the wounded in order to preserve his strength.

But Si Xuanyi and the others had been deserters early on. Although they didn't admit it, they had been doing it all the time, so they didn't care about the allied forces or orders. Si Xuanyi raised a series of reasons for Rhodes' reasons. Doubtful, first of all, the pressing RB talent is their biggest threat at present. Secondly, no matter whether they go deep into the jungle or go out of the jungle, they need to face this strange forest. From this point of view, advancing and retreating are the same, but the return journey The possibility of encountering the Japanese army on the road is greater, that is to say, they face a greater threat than going deep into the jungle. In addition, he also came up with a reason that Rhodes could not refuse. Judging from the current ammunition situation, it is impossible for them to exit smoothly. In the jungle, whether it is to contend with the Japanese army or to protect itself in the jungle, enough ammunition is needed as a support, and the ammunition in Rhodes' hands is already in short supply, and they may be fired after one or two consumptions when going back. When the food is exhausted, at that time, both the RB people and the jungle will easily wipe out everyone, but advancing into the depths of the jungle can find enough ammunition for the crash site to ensure their own safety.

In order to persuade Rhodes Sylphy to forward part of the information provided by James to him, he basically told Rhodes all the information except for the No. [-] item that changed the national fortune. There was no help, so I didn't bother to say it.

Rhodes didn't fully believe Si Xuanyi's words, and held a skeptical attitude. He believed that this was a lie fabricated by Si Xuanyi to let them follow them into the jungle, so Si Xuanyi asked Agui to find the mark left by James and others. Rhodes finally believed his words after seeing the mark. Those marks are completely used by the US military, covering a series of information such as help, direction guidance, and troop identification. He also knows something about the crash a few days ago. The accident, through these marks connecting things together, he finally believed in all of this, and finally agreed to go with Si Xuanyi and the others to get enough ammunition after much thought.

As long as Rhodes and the others are willing to go together, Si Xuanyi, Li Siming, and Liang Rong have discussed in secret that once they go deep into the jungle and get enough ammunition and supplies, they will continue to the hinterland of China. Although this is also Chinese territory, the entire Savage Mountain is If the no-man's land wants to survive, they must stay away from here and return to the place where the border residents live. No matter where Rhodes and the others are going, they will part ways at worst.

In order to survive, Si Xuanyi exhausted all means and schemes to achieve his goal. After all, he had no confidence in the return journey.

Now that the discussion has been made, there is nothing to continue arguing about. After a brief rest, the group continued to march into the depths of the jungle. Under the treatment of Agui's herbal medicine, one of Rhode's wounded was fine, and the other was awake. The other situation is not optimistic. It probably won't last long, and Rhodes can't do anything about it. Liang Rong is a dedicated translator. With her efforts, the two sides can finally communicate peacefully.

At the hottest time in the afternoon, they finally couldn't walk anymore. The huge consumption of their bodies made them overwhelmed. Everyone was so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak. In the end, Agui found a high place to rest, and everyone sat in a circle. Together, Ma Zhong was paralyzed and unable to get up on the ground, and Rhodes, the heaviest wounded man, was dying...

"Sorry, I can't take you home." Rhodes tore off the soldier badges from the corpse and stuffed them into the corpse's mouth one by one and carried them with him. He knew that it was impossible to come back to collect the corpse, but what had to be done was still to be done.

Death is too common for soldiers on the battlefield. People die every day or even every moment. Life is really worthless in the face of war. Death in this dangerous jungle can also be understood as a relief. At least it would be easier not to struggle to survive.

There is no funeral, just dug a shallow pit and buried it everywhere. This jungle is his destination, and he will become a part of this jungle in a short time. Whether it is food for animals or nourishment for plants, he will do his best to Into this world.

Some insect repellents collected by Agui have helped to reduce the infestation of mosquitoes to a large extent. Although it is impossible to keep all kinds of insects away from them, at least they can block most of them. The most annoying leeches in this kind of place are really They are not shy, no matter what you use, they will follow you wholeheartedly, and find any opportunity to climb up your body...

On the way to the depths of the jungle, Agui collected the leaves and bark of some unknown trees and added several herbs with unknown names to mix them together for everyone to take every day. If you go further in, you may encounter Miasma, these things can avoid inhaling too much miasma poisoning, although they will find a place to hide when the miasma is at its heaviest, but they still cannot avoid inhaling some, this kind of thing is terrible, inhaling too much will cause fever, fainting or even death from poisoning , This is the scariest thing in the forest, and there are many miasmas mixed with a large number of mosquitoes carrying falciparum malaria bacteria flying together, which looks like a cloud of black gas from a distance.After being bitten by them, humans and animals will be infected with falciparum malaria.We often see in movies that after the smog in the forest passes, people fall down. In fact, the miasma is formed by flying mosquitoes, and these mosquitoes can transmit falciparum malaria.The Chinese call malaria miasma, and in Italian, malaria is called "yin wind", which is exactly the same.

In addition to these, the biggest problem they are facing now is how to spend the upcoming night of Lianlin...
