Chapter 455: Jungle combat

The battle line of the 3rd Regiment of the Army's Independent First Brigade Muskets stretches across a ridge. This ridge suddenly descends to one place and sinks into the wild jungle. On the hillside leading to the front, small hills mark it. There were people from Banten who died there. Don’t bury them after being beaten to death by their brothers, so that sometimes a hand is exposed here and a leg is stretched out there. This sight makes Wang Jia feel sick.

On the first night he reached the front, he was with his brothers in the Sixth Company. Only the Marine veterans could sleep. These veterans seemed to have brought a "rest switch" with them. They only needed to give an order. Open to rest and "open", and soon fell asleep, but the recruits couldn't sleep for a long time, and a panda's eye went out the next day.

Later, Wang Jia got acquainted with the veterans, and asked enviously how these veterans have such an ability? The veterans laughed and said that when they were on a warship, the waves kept going up and down the warship, and they had long been used to it.

News reached the regiment’s artillery camp, saying that they saw indigenous people cooking in the canyon full of jungle, so the artillery launched a violent bombardment there to destroy the enemies who still wanted to eat, and the shells above their heads. The howling awakened the entire front. The excited infantry picked up their muskets and wanted to join in the fun, waiting for the commander to give orders.

Company Commander Chen Shi and Wang Jia’s supervisor, Sergeant Liu Jie, both observed with binoculars. Company Commander Chen Shi just shook his head, while Sergeant Chief Liu Jie shouted: "Don’t fight. This is a firefly. Have you never seen a firefly? Go back and study "Zoology" with the elementary school students!"

There is a "Zoology" in Southeast Fu Elementary School, which introduces various animals.

His voice was loud, and the whole future position could be heard clearly, and the officers and soldiers roared with laughter! ..

In the next few days, Wang Jia’s company did not die, but they began to feel scared because they entered a road leading to the inland city of Banten, "Daya". The quieter the enemy, the more Wang Jia knew the storm. The more violent it comes!

Some recruits were ignorant, but Wang Jia knew the nature of the storm because he was at the seaside. He also saw some veterans act more cautiously and knew that everyone expected the same.

Disaster is coming!

One team went to the river to fetch water, and hundreds of indigenous people were killed.

The gunshots were loud, and when the army organized hundreds of people to rush past, the battle was over and all the soldiers of this squad were killed!

A large number of people fell on the ground together with the dead bodies of the indigenous people, bloody, and because the Southeast Army troops came quickly, the indigenous people could only catch up with some muskets.

Since entering the inland areas to clear out the people of Banten, all the wells on the road were hidden by them or thrown into livestock manure to drink. They had to deviate from the road in order to obtain water. The people of Banten knew this very well. They organized a guerrilla team and laid ambush. Near the water source, an assault was launched against the single Imperial soldiers who came to fetch water.

If you send a few people, they will rush out, play flash, and run away.

When your army rushes, they have disappeared in the vast forest, you can only say nothing.

If there are too many people, they will not be stupid enough to fight with you. They will enjoy the coolness in the forest. Anyway, they will harass you when they have time. They will come like a shadow and go like the wind. The guerrilla tactics carried out sneak attacks.

Their tactics are very threatening, making the Southeast Army very passive. Every time they arrive at the camp, they must carefully search the surrounding area, so that they are very passive. Lieutenant Zhao Hu in the company said that it was a trick of the indigenous people. You are tired, and when your spirit gets worse and worse, they will come out with a large force and fight you out.

He is the platoon leader of Wang Jia’s platoon. He is not tall, energetic, and has a calm manner. He used to be the commander of a warship. It was a relatively safe and oily post. However, he joined the army to the first line when he formed the army. , He was silent, but he led his platoon forward with authority.

Although the Southeast Army has red eyes, it is still very excited and strong-willed. The officers have the opportunity to be promoted to the nobility, while the small soldiers are calculating the amount of combat allowances and rewards for killing the enemy. Everyone has their own pursuits. Anyway, as a soldier eats food, it is a personal misfortune to die, and victory is rewarded with rich rewards.

The trouble is ---- Wang Jia found that he was extremely dirty and exuded a bad smell. He vowed that as long as he was in the city and in the barracks, he would make himself clean every day, even one day. Take five showers!

The climate here is humid all year round and it often rains at night. Everyone can only sleep by hanging themselves by two trees in a hammock. However, the camp is so large that it is impossible for everyone to hang up in the woods, but it is almost impossible to sleep in a muddy place.

Wang Jia has become accustomed to hearing all kinds of strange sounds in the jungle, such as the cry of the cold seeping owl, which makes the soldiers feel fear from time to time, and some sounds sound like the groans of the indigenous people approaching. The sound made Wang Jia restrain himself so that he did not fire a pistol. He had already used his allowance to get a pistol for himself.

This 32-type pistol is exquisite in shape. It is a flintlock pistol made of blue and faintly quenched steel. The moisture-proof tin foil fixed bullet is very easy to use. As long as it is installed, it can almost fire, and the response speed is fast , Is the favorite of officers and soldiers.

As they walked through the jungle, everyone carefully searched the road. Once they found the indigenous people, if they didn’t raise their hands and surrendered within three seconds—all the Southeast Army had learned the native language for "raise hands", called "Karan". Goda"! If the opponent doesn't Kagoda, just shoot them indiscriminately.

After all, the indigenous people did not look exactly like this. They were too lazy to destroy the road. When the troops entered a clear river on the edge of Daya, the troops set up a cordon on the opposite bank, and the officers and soldiers were allowed to spend some time on personal hygiene. They shaved their beards, took a bath, and washed clothes. When Wang Jia and the class leader Chen Jinyong, Liu Sanshui, Luo Hui and others returned to the bank after joyously in the river, they saw Lieutenant Zhao Hu smiling authentically: "You are so brave! "

"How?" everyone asked in surprise.

Lieutenant Zhao Hu's fingers floated from the upper reaches of the two "dead wood" said: "Look carefully!

The two pieces of dead wood drifted slowly, and everyone did not know what they meant. Lieutenant Zhao Hu took a musket and fired at the dead wood.

The dead wood was tumbling, and everyone was frightened. What kind of dead wood is that~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this is a crocodile!

During the rest period, the leaders of the company platoon seriously looked at the feet of the officers and soldiers. The medical soldiers gave them medicine-rotten feet, they were sucked by locusts and bitten by mosquitoes. Some people were even worse, giving them centipedes. Bitten, and bite a poisonous spider bizarrely.

Muddy, damp, and rotten water, many people’s shoes rot, and they have to be barefoot immortals.

Fortunately, in the Southeast Army, there are many children from farmers and fishers who are accustomed to walking barefoot and have withstood the test. However, some people have lost their combat effectiveness due to rotten feet and have to be carried in donkey carts and mule carts. go.

Horses are not appropriate in the jungle. The Southeast Army brings donkeys and mules to the people. They serve the people conscientiously, and their skinny bodies are dragging human supplies and wounded soldiers forward, and at night, they give a layer of paint. Thick anti-mosquito wipes, this is the masterpiece of the Department of Health and Disease Control of the Southeastern Prefecture, the effect is good, but the mosquitoes can always find holes to bite.

Fighting in the jungle, the problem of rotten feet is definitely not a trivial problem. It is reported layer by layer, and when he arrives at the desk of the boss of the Southeast Mansion, Yan Changwu, he has issued a reward of 100,000 silver dollars to the "Rubber"!

Rubber shoes, rubber shoes, when will they be available!
