Chapter 1756 The devil is here
The short fifteen-minute break passed quickly and the march continued.
Due to the accumulation of fatigue, the second wave of march seemed even more difficult.
After running less than two kilometers, Wang Xun felt like a big stone was pressed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.
It was also from this time that new soldiers began to fall into the ground with exhaustion, but soon veterans rushed up to help them up and continued to march.
Under the influence of inertia, Wang Xun passively threw away his legs and ran forward.
Due to the long-term high-intensity marching, Wang Xun's legs began to feel numb due to the accumulation of lactic acid.
Wang Xun could not even feel the existence of his legs, and a sound was constantly echoing in his mind. You are too tired, lie down, you are too tired, lie down and have a good sleep.
In a trance, Wang Xun's legs became weak and he was about to fall to the ground.
Just as Wang Xun fell to the ground, a powerful hand leaned over from the side and grabbed him. When he looked back, it was company commander Guo Yuantu.
"Stand by." Guo Yuantu said, "Lying down at this time."
Looking around the new recruits marching around, Guo Yuantu said again: "Tell you a story."
Wang Xun immediately raised his ears, and several new recruits on both sides immediately subconsciously surrounded him.
Guo Yuantu gasped and said, "At that time, I was still in the 144th Division of the 23rd Army. Once we were ordered to block the 18th Division of the Japanese Army near Paben."
"Have you heard of the 18th Division?"
"I've heard of it." Wang Xundao, "I heard that the combat power is very strong."
"It's very strong." Guo Yuantu nodded and said, "But in the tropical jungle of Myanmar, the most terrifying enemy is actually not the Japanese, but..."
Speaking of this, Guo Yuantu deliberately paused.
A new recruit immediately asked, "Company Commander, what is it?"
Guo Yuantu said: "It's a snake, insect, and beast hidden in the jungle that you will never know."
Hearing this, Wang Xun subconsciously shrank his neck. He was most afraid of snakes. He just thought about it and got goose bumps all over his body.
Guo Yuantu said: "One night, we were camping in the jungle, and a sentry was responsible for standing guard. But when another sentry changed his guard in the middle of the night, we couldn't find anyone."
"Then wake up the brothers in the whole row to search everywhere."
"I searched for almost half an hour and finally found him more than ten meters away."
"But by the time he was found, there were only a pile of bones left."
"Ah?" The dozen or so recruits around immediately took a breath.
Wang Xun also felt a chill on his back, and he seemed to be less tired.
A new recruit asked, "Company Commander, what did this brother eat?"
"I don't know." Guo Yuantu shook his head and said, "Later, several brothers from our master turned into bones inexplicably. It is said that this situation was also true for the Japanese. The division headquarters and even the chief officials had sent people to investigate, but they could not draw any conclusions. Until now, they don't know what they were gnawed off."
"So you must cheer up, especially don't lie down easily."
"It's just the beginning, it's just a marching, and I haven't had any fire with the Japanese."
"When you exchange fire with the Japanese, everyone is very tired and sleepy. If you accidentally lie down, others may not be able to find you in time. Don't become a bone at that time."
Hearing this, Wang Xun felt that he was not so tired.
The steps of the dozen new recruits around were also significantly lighter.
...
However, such mental stimulation is time-sensitive after all.
After about two hours, after walking a few kilometers, the fatigue returned to Wang Xun, and he was even more tired than before.
Fortunately, it was already dark at this time.
Soon, the division commanded the troops and camped on the spot!
Hearing the order to camp on the spot, Wang Xun immediately fell to the ground.
This time, the company commander Guo Yuantu did not kick him in the ass, but instead scattered with dozens of veterans in the company and began to clear the shrubs and dead branches and leaves in the jungle.
With the help of machetes and engineer shovels, the veterans quickly cleared a small piece of open space.
Guo Yuantu raised the campfire with the accumulated dead branches, and then asked Wang Xun and the others to come and sit around the campfire.
Wang Xun moved to the bonfire, lay down comfortably with his backpack as a pillow, then took off his rubber-soled shoes, took off his socks, and then turned around his feet. He saw another blister growing under the thick calluses of the big foot.
Sighing, Wang Xun took out a bayonet from his waist, burned the tip of the knife on the flame for a while, disinfected it for a while, and then gently lifted the blister with the tip of the knife.
After dinner, I rested for about half an hour.
The division headquarters’ orders came down again and set up traps!
At this time, a special forces soldier wearing camouflage uniform came to their company.
Under the guidance of this special forces, Wang Xun and his team began to dig traps overnight.
By midnight, they dug more than 200 traps in a row, and then spent more than two hours to disguise these more than 200 traps. It is said that after they disguised, the special forces had to perform the final disguise.
But Wang Xun no longer cared about it. After pretending, he finally could go to bed.
Because he was so tired, Wang Xun fell asleep with his backpack.
When I woke up the next morning, I found that my face and arms were covered with bags, and they were bitten by mosquitoes.
Then the medical soldiers in the company began to divide the quinine tablets. Wang Xun did not dare to be careless and quickly swallowed the quinine tablets. Otherwise, if he had malaria in the jungle, it would be no joke.
After eating a few biscuits with boiling water, the special forces soldier appeared again last night.
This special forces soldier obviously didn't sleep all night, but he still looked very energetic.
The special forces led them into a jungle, and then they were ambushed in platoons. The only three Browning heavy machine guns in the company were also deployed in three directions.
Wang Xun realized that this was an inverted triangle ambush formation.
Then there was the waiting, and the long waiting began.
Time passes slowly, and the air seems to have solidified.
After waiting for no reason, there was a vague sound of a horse neighing in front of me.
Wang Xun immediately became nervous because he knew that the Japanese were here. The Chinese Expeditionary Force had no cavalry, so there would be no neighing horses. However, the Japanese had cavalry and the baggage troops were also equipped with pack horses, so there must be Japanese in front. The Japanese who went north along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River finally arrived.
They finally started fighting with the Japanese.
Wang Xun held his breath and subconsciously clasped the rifle.
Then, gunshots suddenly sounded in the dense forest ahead.
Then Guo Yuantu's voice sounded: "Everything is there, prepare for battle!"
Chapter completed!
