Indiana Jones

Chapter 121 Masao Kawaguchi (01)

A group of Japanese soldiers in a jungle not far away from Si Xuanyi and the others were resting. There were indeed more than [-] Japanese soldiers in this group, and they were well-equipped. During the break, it was also a standard circular defense. Every soldier performed his duties faithfully. The soldiers sprinkled the insect repellent on the ground, and the leeches that had been crawling around fled. The pile of bonfires was emitting green smoke, and the burning medicine inside drove away the mosquitoes. There were some prey that were roasting on the fire, giving off a scent.

An army blanket was spread on the ground of the defense center, and Masao Kawaguchi was sitting on it waiting for the news from the messengers.

Kawaguchi entered this jungle more than ten days ago, that is, the day James' plane crashed. Their purpose was very clear, which was to find and retrieve the No. [-] item that crashed in the jungle. This is a direct order from the base camp to the Myanmar theater. It is said that the No. [-] item can change the fortune and help the empire win the war. As for whether it is really so, Kawaguchi doesn’t know, it has nothing to do with whether he believes it or not. He doesn't care about the use of that thing.

After entering the jungle, he finally understood the difference of this jungle. He has rich experience in jungle combat, but this is the first time he has encountered such a jungle. After entering Savage Mountain, he finally understood what a real primitive jungle is. , the mountains and towering trees are just appearances, but the troubles inside are by no means comparable to other places. When they came in, they were divided into six teams, and 120 people parachuted in. But now the first batch of people who come in are estimated to be less than three points left One, and hundreds of people entered the jungle in the follow-up, and there are less than a hundred people who can be contacted by the feedback hand above. The people who lost contact may not be dead, but they may be tortured and swallowed by this jungle. Kawaguchi has already passed on the danger here to his superiors, and provided a lot of suggestions for the troops who will enter later, but the jungle is the jungle, and it is definitely not something that can be dealt with by preparation.

Judging from the feedback from the above, they lost at least hundreds of people this time. In addition to the attrition caused by the danger in the jungle, it was the loss of fighting with the paratroopers who were airborne by the US army in the early stage. The number of US troops coming in is unknown, but from various teams Judging from the situation of the fighting, there should be a lot of them. Although the purpose of these US troops cannot be determined, they should also come for the crashed plane, which means that the US military is probably also looking for item No. [-].

Kawaguchi is waiting for regular contact with the higher-ups. It would be difficult for them to survive in this place if they did not rely on the supplies delivered at any time. The daily consumption of ammunition is huge, the demand for various medicines has surged, and the physical condition of the soldiers is getting worse and worse. Kinds of poisonous insects and beasts are infested, and diseases are rampant. This is a deadly threat to them. If it is not for regular ammunition replenishment, they may not be able to do anything other than wait here to die. Of course, not all teams can Supplemented by air-dropped supplies, some teams have disappeared into the jungle, some radio stations have been lost, and some have completely collapsed. It's not that there are no such teams like them that can still move forward in an organized manner, but there are much fewer than before.

After more than ten days of "adaptation", Kawaguchi finally gradually mastered some survival rules of this jungle after losing half of his troops. During this period, he collected some remnants of other troops scattered in the forest to supplement himself In the team, this ensures that there are always more than twenty people under him.

The radio station is the foundation of their survival here, and the superiors seldom ask about his request, which shows that the superiors attach great importance to the so-called No. [-] item, so these soldiers around him can be said to be quite lucky. They can get the maximum protection, and food, various equipment, weapons and ammunition can be replenished in time. If the environment does not allow Kawaguchi to bring in a few mountain cannons, the unknown creatures here are really difficult to deal with. The role of firearms is limited, and they suffered a lot of losses after being attacked by pythons several times, and the effect of bullets hitting the pythons is quite limited.

In order to adapt to the environment here, Kawaguchi also specially requested to airdrop a large amount of equipment that was not distributed by other conventional troops, including some American individual equipment. Survival is the prerequisite for completing the mission. From the communication just now, Kawaguchi also learned that there are currently at least [-] combat-capable soldiers and a dozen teams moving around in this jungle, controlling the entire area. Among them, of course, the so-called control is only relative. It is impossible to completely control the jungle with such a dense forest. The above ideas are too optimistic.

"Report, find clues." A soldier ran over.

"How many people?" Kawaguchi asked while drinking water.

The soldier continued: "Five, the same as before, are the group of people with clear traces. They are heading north. If they move at full speed, it may take three hours to catch up."

"Yeah." Kawaguchi nodded, "Very well, I guess they want to cross the Hukang River Valley to the area controlled by the Chinese army."

"Your Excellency asked me to take the first step to recapture the stolen items." A Japanese lieutenant who was not tall but strong and carried a 97-style sniper rifle said on the side.

Kawaguchi looked at the lieutenant standing like a pole and said, "Well... it's dangerous to act alone here."

"This is my mission. To destroy the Chinese pigs and take back what should belong to the imperial kingdom. These inferior races are not worthy of having a fetish that can control fortune." The lieutenant said with a serious face.

"Very good, but now is not the time." Kawaguchi stood up and wandered under the tree, "Don't worry Miyamoto-kun, I will speak up when I need you, go down."

Miyamoto hesitated for a moment and finally retreated. Kawaguchi glanced at the soldiers resting nearby, then looked at their wristwatches and said loudly, "Departure in 10 minutes."

The soldiers began to pack their things, moving swiftly but methodically.

Miyamoto looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction and said to the people around him, "Bring it up."

Soon a man covered in blood was dragged over. This man was not tall, his face was covered with mud, his clothes were torn, and leeches were still lying on his bare skin. Some wounds had begun to rot, but he remained awake. , if Si Xuanyi and the others see him, they will cooperate with him, because this person was once the most important member of their team - Agui...
