Indiana Jones

Chapter 95 Confrontation (01)

There is no bullet in the M1 carbine, and the bolt is gone. Apart from the mud, some places have already grown spots of rust. Seeing the M1 carbine in this kind of place really surprised Si Xuanyi and the others. They thought they were from this area. The first group of visitors to the jungle, although James and the others had escaped from here, they certainly did not go as deep into this location as they did, so how did this gun come in?Did someone get here before them?

"Maybe he was the pilot on the plane that died like James and the others." Li Siming said, wiping the dirt on his face.

"Pilots won't be issued M1, right?" Rhodes shook his head, "This gun is a basic weapon to replace pistols and submachine guns as paratroopers, sergeants, junior officers or machine gunners, signal soldiers or second-line personnel. Pilots will not Equipping this thing, unless it's someone else on the plane, it doesn't make sense."

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi nodded after listening to Liang Rong's translation and asked Li Siming, "What's next?"

"I can't see clearly, it's too dark, but this smell...should be more than one..." Li Siming pulled a branch to lift off the moss.

There was indeed a strange smell in the air, and Li Siming's smell was stronger. It was a mixture of rotting corpses mixed with leaves and sewage in the jungle, which was extremely pungent and disgusting.

Li Siming has already lifted all the moss a few times, and there is a mud ditch covered with vines, and there are more than a dozen half-decomposed corpses scattered in it. The scene is much more terrifying than they expected, which makes them feel even more Surprisingly, these corpses were not the expected American soldiers, but the same expeditionary soldiers as them. Without exception, these soldiers had their hands cut behind their backs. Judging from the position of the shot, it should be an execution shot. Looking at the shell casings covered by the leaves, it was left by the [-] cover and the crooked sub-machine gun.

"These vines were cut off from the trees." Agui picked up a vine in the mud pit with a branch and looked at the cut, "This place is intentionally covered."

"There is a gap here, it should be a wild beast!" Ma Zhong fled back behind a tree not far away. He went there for convenience, but he found a collapsed hole with half of the body exposed inside.

They cleared some more and found more bodies in the pit than they expected, and found more M1 carbines, but all of them had their bolts removed, it seems, because they couldn't take the guns and the bodies. thrown together.

"Why are there so many brothers here?" Several people were really puzzled.

"It seems that we are not the first group of guests here." Rhode looked at the nearby woods and said, "It's just that I don't understand why they appear here. Seeing that they have at least 30 to [-] people, they can capture so many regular troops." How many ghosts do you get?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was quiet. Yes, how many ghosts have been to this place?
"Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it shouldn't take more than half a month. Although the decay rate of the corpse here is faster than other places, it takes at least ten days to reach this point..." He stopped suddenly, his throat choked. The wriggling almost spit it out. According to the rate at which the corpse rots, the mud pit is not just mud, it is likely to be a mixture of corpse water from rotting stones, surrounding soil, and rainwater...

"So..." Li Siming continued after retching for a while, "The time when these brothers were killed was about the same as when we were separated from the team, but it may take longer for them to get here, that is to say, they were killed at least 20 days ago. We set off, probably after the second confrontation between our regiment and the devils."

"No..." Rhodes frowned and squatted down to push away the things in the mud, "They are paratroopers, so they didn't come in, they parachuted in, and the time of entry is hard to calculate."

"So many brothers...Damn devils." Si Xuanyi scolded.

"Don't you think it's strange to send people to this place?" Li Siming said, shaking the mud on his body.

"Does the Expeditionary Army have paratroopers?" Liang Rong suddenly thought of a question. Indeed, neither the Expeditionary Army nor the National Revolutionary Army had paratroopers at that time, at least not according to Si Xuanyi's understanding.

Si Xuanyi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there is and we don't know."

"We have dispatched paratrooper instructors to your army, but it should not be so soon to form a formal paratrooper unit." Rhodes said.

There is no way to clarify this question. Whether it is the purpose of these expeditionary forces or the purpose of the devils, it is impossible for Si Xuanyi and the others to speculate based on the existing clues.

"Okay, we don't know about this issue. Let's go. If the devil has come, our situation will be more dangerous. Get out of here as soon as possible." Li Siming said.

Others also felt that what they said was true, so they covered the exposed corpses with fallen leaves and weeds. After all, these are brothers from the same root, and although they couldn't bring them home, at least they had to express something. Respect, although what they did is insignificant, but doing so will make them feel better.

The change of the matter is more complicated than they expected, and a shadow is cast over everyone's heart. They were indeed too optimistic about the future before, and the discovery of this half-day finally made them understand that what they are about to face may be even more difficult to deal with. In such a situation, devils may appear at any time, and I hope the jungle can help them create enough trouble for these devils.

An hour later, they were trekking in the woods and heard gunshots. The distance was very close, no more than 100 meters. It seemed that the devils had reached such a close place to them without knowing it.

In view of the previous discovery, will there be other expeditionary army brothers also operating in this area?It's very possible, it's just that they haven't encountered it.

In order to avoid the devils, they immediately changed direction, and they didn't stop until it was dark. They found a big tree and climbed up to set up a simple camp using branches, vines and tarps. This time they chose a big banyan tree. Spending the night in the center of the canopy can at least avoid the attacks of eagle owls. That kind of large raptor cannot sneak in and attack them silently.

After everything was ready, the night had completely enveloped the jungle. They didn't dare to light a fire, but just huddled together and rested silently. Their hearts were full of fear of the dark. Li Siming, who had just fallen asleep and was on duty for a long time, woke everyone up. They saw the fire shining through the branches and leaves, as well as the sound of conversation, and a group of devil soldiers came from a short distance holding torches...
