Chapter 114: The battle in conquest (2)

　　 He fights with a pen. Just in front of his camp, he sits on a pony sack, uses a simple table, and writes with an ink pen (that is, a dip pen), ignoring the shadows of the swords and swords around him.

"...The tribes are attacking us from all sides. The front is holding spears and machetes, and the back is using bows and arrows. A small part of them are dressed in moss armor, most of them are unarmored, and some are bare-chested. My face is covered with mysterious patterns."

　　 Zeyu continued to write: "They got in the middle of our camp!"

"Our soldiers shot at them, and the fire was everywhere. As long as they hit them, they made blood holes one by one. We used shotguns and pistols at close range. The power was very powerful. Almost one by one, the neutral one stood upside down! Lie down! The number of tribes gradually increased, and a strong blood was permeated in the air."

　　 Yes, the Dum bullet was adopted, which greatly enhanced the power of the attack in close combat.

　　 "A strong tribal man paid attention to me, and he leaped at me with a bright machete!"

　　 Others are loading bullets, brother Zeyu is pretending /B, he sits and writes with a pen like a big guy, it's strange if others don't cut him!

　　 Then Zeyu wrote: "I sat still, and the tribe rushed in front of me. At this moment, there was a loud bang in my ear!"

"Someone fired a shot in my ear and hit that guy. The other side stood up and fell in front of me. I didn't have anything, I just couldn't hear, and I didn't get hurt. He ×, my right ear after the war. I lost my hearing, so I got the Purple Heart Medal (a medal for injury, in the Southeast Mansion, you can also get a medal when injured), although I don’t want to get this kind of medal!"

The unlucky Zeyu lost his hearing due to the fact that his right eardrum was ruptured because of the distance of the gun. However, his report on the battlefield was a great success. The officers and soldiers rushed to circulate it, thinking that he had written the real battle history. In his report, he wrote that the Third Marine Corps was caught in a frenzied and chaotic battle that day. It fought hundreds of barbaric hand-to-hand battles. The guns kept banging. The best shots were the bullet guns, which had large calibers. The barrel is sawed short, which is very suitable for close combat, and it is more powerful than a pistol (Ze Yu's ear is just after listening to the bang of the shotgun.

　　The battle began in the early morning. At that time, the scattered tribal armies continued to attack. It didn't end until nine o'clock in the morning, when the Third Marine Corps won.

Zeyu went to inspect the battlefield and found that the surrounding area became an abattoir. The dead tribesmen almost piled up the camp and the periphery of the camp. The dead tribesmen later counted that there were more than 3,600 people. The accumulated corpses became A hill.

　　 And the Third Marine Corps also killed 167 people and injured nearly 500 people. It was a big victory, but half of them lost their combat effectiveness.

　　The soldiers who had achieved the results of the battle cried with excitement, while the soldiers who had lost their comrades cried bitterly for their comrades and their voices. The priests in the Matsu Temple were invited to pray for the soldiers who died in battle.

　　 Zeyu's report continued. He followed the Third Marine Corps to the surrounding tribes.

Mountains link mountains, water links water, lush trees everywhere, birds and flowers scent, but full of murderous intent. Zeyu once saw a young company commander taking the lead to walk in front of the troops, but an arrow flew in, impartially. , Hitting his neck, he was hemoptysis constantly in his mouth, surrounded by soldiers, and there was nothing he could do to call in a military doctor. Ten minutes later, he died!

　　 The officers and soldiers in the southeast prefecture are generally low in age. The company commander is not even twenty years old. He has excellent professional qualities and has a set of leading troops. It is a promising star in the military. What a pity!

Although he was remembered for his military exploits, the military believed that he should have commanded everything from his company command position at the back of the team, instead of playing the role of an advanced soldier. If he died when the enemy was too big, it is very likely that his company would lose command because of the loss of command. Will collapse.

Although 　　 did not collapse, what made his company annoyed was that the arrow was shot from the woods, even if the officers and soldiers searched the woods, they couldn’t find the murderer!

　　 However, they found a tribal settlement nearby, let alone the tribe where the murderer belongs, so they sneaked in and launched an assault at dawn.

　　 The sudden attack achieved a great victory, and the tribe of 100 people was taken down at a small price of slightly wounding three people. . . Zeyu's record is vague, in fact, all the men of that tribe have been executed for revenge for their dear company commander!

　　Zeyu was deep in the battle and was diligent in writing. He didn't stop his pen even in the chaos. He often shot guns, bows and arrows flying around, and the soldiers fired muskets beside him, and he never stopped.

　　 Soon, his report attracted the attention of the military department, and a squad (ten people) was sent to protect his safety!

　　 Indeed, he wrote very valuable, not only the description of the battle on the ground, but also involved all aspects of the battle.

For example, he described the mountains, rivers, tribal villages, shrubs, water nets and rice fields in the mountainous jungles, and the terrain and features are scattered with each other. The terrain is extremely complex, which has a great impact on the military's combat command and coordination. Individual combat and squad combat have placed great demands on the combat quality of the troops!

In a humid environment, gunpowder guns are often difficult to ignite. In this environment, the soldiers of the Third Marine Corps mobilized urgently and took grease paper to wrap the gunpowder, which is not easy to be damp. If necessary, bite the grease paper and pour it into the fire pool of the gun to ignite like this. The rate is high.

After the 　　 military department, small packages of quantitative moisture-proof bullets were popularized. In addition to being used in jungle warfare, it is also very useful in sea warfare.

The jungle and mountainous areas are sparsely populated and lack of supplies. Almost all military supplies are supplied from the rear. The tropical mountains and jungles are endless, with dangerous terrain, changeable weather, which can easily lead to traffic interruption, corrosion and mildew of military supplies, and increased incidence of personnel. All this requires More supplies of materials and technical support have virtually increased the arduousness of logistics and equipment support tasks.

　　 As the Southeast Prefecture marched into Taipei, it took effective measures to rely on river transportation for supplies~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to establish a stable camp by the river before reaching out, encircling and suppressing the tribes, and rarely fighting with exhaustion.

　　 So, the logistics is strong, the sick are admitted, and the officers and soldiers have enough rest, at least sleeping in the well-protected camp.

The tropical rain forest environment is dangerous, malaria and dysentery are easy to be prevalent, but the offensive Marine Corps has good logistics support, and the military industry closely follows up. For example, as long as conditions permit, they must drink boiled water and boiled water at night for the soldiers to carry. Diarrhea is reduced, and even in the daytime, the whole body is covered with only one pair of eyes exposed, which reduces mosquito bites and malaria.

　　 However, it is difficult for the body to wick away perspiration. Sweat soaks the skin and causes the skin to ulcerate. The way to deal with it is to go to the camp to rest, release the restraints, use skin ointments, drink tea (auxiliary effect) and so on.

The report from the frontline troops was sent to Tainan, and then the Silk Headquarters of Southeast Prefectural Government mobilized urgently to provide the frontline with a crude silk military uniform. It was made of silk fabric and had good moisture absorption. Therefore, people who sweat easily in summer can easily use it. The clothes are sweaty, but because of the breathability of the silk fabric, as long as there is a little wind, the sweaty clothes will dry immediately, and there will be no uncomfortable or sticky feeling.

　　 Because it is thick silk (thick silk thread or multi-strand silk thread), it is wear-resistant and suitable for use in the jungle. The response of the Marines is very good, and it also brings an effect to scare outsiders. . . The Southeast Army troops are so extravagant that they actually wore silk military uniforms!

　　Zeyu’s series of reports have been greatly welcomed by readers. At the same time, the military believes that he writes far better than those big and rude reports. He mobilized him to become a real soldier, invited him to become a staff officer, and awarded him the rank of major!

　　 From then on, his report flashed across the sky like a comet and disappeared, and a qualified staff member was added to the army.
