Chapter 155 Jungle Gunshots II

ps: I feel like an old classmate, and book friend 2017080647 will give me a reward!

The forest was deep, dense, and overgrown with bushes. The Argentinian officer leading the group who entered the woods was alert and immediately issued an order to stop the pursuit of the troops.

The order was conveyed by a few small officers, and within two minutes, all the troops of more than 100 people came to a halt.

There was no sound of pursuing troops' footsteps, and the woods suddenly became quiet. The two lagging Gauchos in front also disappeared into the woods.

"Plop", more than ten birds flew from both sides of the Argentine troops, and there was a burst of bird song.

"Everyone is on alert, prepare to fight!" the Argentinian officer held his short gun tightly and aimed at the place in front where the birds were flying.

"Whoosh", a spear was shot out from the bushes with a soft whistling sound, and accurately hit the neck of an Argentine soldier standing on the outside of the crowd.

After being hit by an arrow in his body, the Argentinian soldier subconsciously reached for his neck. As soon as his hands touched the arrow tail, he suddenly fell to the ground weakly.

The bows and arrows were fired at the same time as the Argentine officer issued a warning. Before more than a hundred people had time to fire back, the Gauchos hiding in the bushes used a brief moment to launch a counterattack.

Immediately after the first shot of the bow and arrow, more than fifty crossbows, bows and arrows, spears, javelins and a weapon between bows and arrows and javelins were fired at the Argentinian soldiers on the path.

"Puff!" The javelin thrown in the air hit the enemy's body. The inertial force transmitted at high speed dragged the Argentine soldier who was hit back two or three meters away, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

A soldier hit by a bow and arrow may survive, but being hit by a javelin in a major part of the body is worse than death and more painful than death. The strong penetrating power of the javelin penetrates the internal organs of the soldier, causing the person who was hit to continue to suffer injuries.

The pain caused by the bleeding and severe damage to the internal organs is unbearable for ordinary people.

In just a short moment, the counterattack consisting of spears, javelins and other cold weapons caused a lot of casualties to the Argentines. More than 20 people were wounded or killed before the enemy was discovered.

After the attack, some panicked Argentinian soldiers took their rifles and nervously shot into the jungle bushes ahead, without any clear target.

Hundreds of rifles fired blindly, bullets passing through leaves and shrubs, hitting trees or land, but not a single scream of the enemy being shot was heard.

The long-term success in encircling and suppressing the Indians and Gauchos has fostered the Argentinian army's mentality of being proud and underestimating the enemy.

He easily captured the Gaucho village and pursued them in an effort to annihilate them all. However, he never expected that the Gauchos could set up an ambush on their way to escape.

After occupying the village, the Argentine troops only slightly injured two people and no one was killed. However, in the first round of fighting with the Gauchos after entering the jungle, the Argentine army suffered more than 20 casualties, and nearly half of them could not survive until the end of the battle. Argentina

The leading officer hid under a tree and watched his soldiers lying on the ground wailing in pain, feeling regretful and angry in his heart.

The number of casualties in the army was too high. How could he go back and explain to his superiors?

The Gauchos hiding in the dark continued to attack the Argentine soldiers with javelin-throwing weapons, but the Argentine soldiers' blind counterattacks had limited success.

Every minute the time was delayed, the Argentine soldiers in the jungle suffered losses. The leading officer hid behind a tree to observe the battlefield situation but could not find a good solution, so he had to issue a retreat order.

After giving the order to retreat, the Argentine officer gathered more than 20 soldiers around him and retreated along the original route. The other Argentine soldiers quickly followed after receiving the order, shooting into the woods on both sides while retreating.

Behind a hidden bush, Davis calmly observed the Argentine soldiers retreating toward him, waiting for a suitable target to attack.

Davis was hiding at the entrance of the woods, about fifty meters away from the open space outside. When the Gauchos launched a counterattack in the woods, he did not take action, but quietly stayed in place.

The Argentine troops did not engage with the Gauchos hiding in the woods and retreated. After suffering more than ten casualties, more than ninety people walked to the edge of the woods.

The Gaucho attacks in the woods were getting weaker and weaker. There was an open area less than a hundred meters ahead. The danger was about to be lifted. The entire army, including the leading officer, breathed a sigh of relief.

The exit of the woods was in front, so the officer leading the team relaxed his vigilance, walked out from among more than 20 people, and asked two junior officers to inquire about the casualties of the troops.

Davis stayed quietly behind the bushes and watched all the movements of the Argentine troops.

He quietly pulled out an arrow-like weapon from the wooden tube behind his back and put it into the rough hole with a hooked wooden stick in his right hand. He clasped the upper end of the rough hole with his thumb and raised the wooden stick slightly to find the best throwing position.

The weapon Davis used is called a spear thrower. It is an auxiliary tool that allows darts to fly faster, farther and more accurately. It was once widely used by American Indians for hunting. After Europeans colonized the Americas, Indians

The Gauchos and Gauchos used this weapon, which was simple to make and had readily available raw materials, to fight against the enemy's invasion, which brought a considerable blow to the Europeans.

After the native white people took control of Argentina's political situation, they inherited the Spanish tradition and prohibited the Indians and Gauchos from possessing weapons. For the safety of the tribe and themselves, the Indians and Gauchos used primitive wooden javelins, flying shuttles and other weapons to defend themselves.

Davis is an excellent shuttle player. Using the shuttle launcher he made himself, he can throw the shuttle a hundred meters away and accurately hit a target a hundred meters away.

The superb shuttle launching technology made Davis a well-deserved warrior in the village, and now, he will use the weapons in his hands to kill the Argentinian army commander and defend his dignity as the tribal leader.

After the identity of the Argentine officer was discovered, his every move was closely monitored by Davis. The two low-level officers around him gradually distanced themselves from him. The Argentine soldiers who rushed out of the woods were ten miles away from Davis.

The ambush site of several Gauchos was getting closer and closer.

140 meters, 130 meters... 100 meters. When the Argentine officer was nearly a hundred meters away from Davis, the spear launcher was raised above the bushes. Davis' eyes became sharper and he missed a single hit.

, it is very difficult to kill the Argentine officer again, so he needs to be more confident before attacking.

The trees cover the ground one by one, and the trees are sparse as far as the eye can see. The sun shines directly on the open space. The Argentine officer looked straight ahead, unaware of the dozens of pairs of hateful eyes not far away behind the bushes and grass.

The pace quickened, and the Argentine officer took a few quick steps. Suddenly he found something soft under his feet. He lowered his head and saw a pile of newly dug soil peeking out from under the thick leaves.

"No!" A crisis suddenly emerged in his mind. At this moment, Davis suddenly stood up from the bush and decisively threw out the shuttle in his right hand.

The sharp sound of flying shuttles piercing the air suddenly sounded. While the other Argentine soldiers were at a loss, their commander had fallen heavily to the ground, his limbs trembling slightly.

Davis aimed at the Argentinian officer's head. After hitting the target, the shuttle left the body and was nailed to the tree with a trace of blood.

The Argentine officer twitched for only a few seconds and then became completely motionless.

Traps, suspended bamboo rafts, flying shuttles, more than a dozen ambushed Gauchos took advantage of the situation to attack, while Davis quietly watched the moment before his opponent died completely.

The anger and violence quickly dissipated as the Argentine officer stopped twitching. Davis took one last look at his opponent lying on the ground and blew a whistle to order the ambush Gauchos to retreat.
