In the hot and humid jungle, Wei Ran borrowed Hugo's lighter and roasted the blood-sucking locusts off the opponent's body, and then allowed the other party to help him burn the leech off his back.
"Hugo, how should we conduct reconnaissance?" asked Neil, a white soldier, sitting on a large moss-covered rock.
"Go behind those monkeys," Hugo said without thinking. "The only ones currently exchanging fire with Dean are the vanguard. We need to find their main force."
"Before that, I think we should find a way to fill our stomach first."
As he spoke, Wei Ran opened the canvas barrel bag that served as a backpack and took out half a bunch of bananas that had been crushed or crushed in the previous exchange of fire.
Everyone present was given one banana. When Wei Ran ate his own banana in two bites, the others also took out some food from their bags and shared it.
After barely filling his stomach, Wei Ran dug out a box of condoms he had received from the field tailor, first changed himself into a pair of dry socks, and then put a layer of condoms on the outside.
Not only that, he also put one on his head, covering the bandaged wound like a swimming cap, and cut the other half off, put it on the bandaged wound on his leg, and used a strip of cloth to seal it.
Wrapping and bandaging.
Finally, he put on his boots, and Wei Ran used condoms to waterproof Hugo and Neil's wounds.
While he was busy, Hugo was also busy communicating with the two indigenous warriors in native language.
And that Neil also followed Wei Ran's example, changed into a pair of clean socks and wrapped a layer of condoms around them.
Although they didn't get much supplies and rest at the position that Chief Di was responsible for just now, at least the two indigenous warriors each got a pair of bloomer-style training pants and an English kettle.
While the two indigenous soldiers were busy changing their canvas skirts into shorts, Wei Ran also took out his titanium alloy pistol, filled the empty magazine with bullets, and then put a dozen rounds of shotshells in his pocket.
After all the preparations, this long canvas bag that still smells of bananas now contains several boxes of shotguns, a stolen small medical bag and six or seven grenades - not counting the ones on his waist.
Those four grenades.
However, looking at these relatively abundant ammunition, Wei Ran was inevitably a little scared. He was really worried that he would starve again this time. He was really scared of hunger.
At this moment, Hugo finally completed communication with the two indigenous soldiers who had put on shorts.
"Let's rest for another ten minutes."
Before Hugo finished speaking, the two indigenous soldiers named Valoro and Kaikai had already stood up and walked towards the dense forest in the distance with submachine guns and Enfield rifles respectively and the pistol handed by Hugo.
"They will find food"
As he spoke, Hugo lit a cigarette and said in a puff of smoke, "They are the masters here."
"Hugo, where did you learn the dialect?" the white soldier Neil asked curiously.
“I met you very early”
Hugo explained with a smile, “I grew up in Port Moresby, and I worked on cargo ships traveling between Port Moresby and Australia very early on.
Although I later went to Darwin Port with my parents, before the war, I still often came to Port Moresby to do business, and I have been good friends with the indigenous tribes for many years."
"So you're a sailor?"
Neil, a white soldier, also took out a cigarette and lit it. He leaned against a big stone and said, "Before the war, I had never been to the north. I am from Melbourne and I used to be a sailor."
"I used to be a third mate." Hugo rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, revealing the sea anchor tattoo on his arm.
"You should go to the Navy," Neil said, "and I should go to the Navy."
"Then why didn't you go?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"The wizards from Valoro's tribe told me in a divination that I would die at sea." Hugo spread his hands, "So I didn't go."
"When I rushed to the recruitment point, only the militia was recruiting people," Neil said innocently, "I can't rush back to Melbourne, it's too far."
"Sufficient reason" Wei Ran shook his head in confusion.
After this small talk, the two indigenous soldiers also rushed back from two directions, each carrying a large bunch of bananas and a pack of tangerines in their hands.
Although the only thing they could eat was fruit, it was still better than nothing. Everyone divided some among themselves and put it into their own bags. They carried weapons and continued to move forward in the dense jungle under the leadership of two indigenous soldiers.
Not long after, there was a fierce exchange of fire from the direction behind them. Wei Ran and others knew that it was Commander Di and others who had blocked the Japanese who were trying to outflank them.
Without saying anything else, the two indigenous soldiers, Wei Ran and others all subconsciously speeded up their pace.
Led by the indigenous soldiers, they circled around the front line where the firefight was taking place. The group of five people then became increasingly quiet and cautious.
However, just as they cautiously climbed over a low mountain and tried to approach the Kokoda Trail, they vaguely heard screams and wailings of extreme terror that echoed through the valley, as well as unbridled crazy smiles.
Without hesitation at all, Hugo took off the telescope around his neck and handed it to the indigenous man named Valoro. At the same time, he said something in native language. The latter also took off his backpack and extra weapons before taking the telescope.
.
Under the watchful eyes of Wei Ran and others, the native named Valoro climbed up a tall tree like a nimble monkey, stepped on the branches and raised the telescope.
Soon, he climbed to the waist of the tree as quickly as possible and whispered something in native dialect.
As he described, Wei Ran also noticed that Hugo's face gradually became gloomy and he clenched his fists.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.
"Those demons have captured a few stray soldiers and are interrogating...no, torturing them."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hugo paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Varolo said that a man was cutting off the arm of an Australian soldier with a long knife, and there were many bastards around him.
Watching."
Looking up at the tall tree entangled with vines, Wei Ran handed the canvas bag and weapons to Hugo. After Valoro came down, he climbed up the vines at a speed not much slower than him.
.
Not long after, the dense tree canopy completely blocked everyone under the tree. Wei Ran also hugged a branch, took out the gas mask bag from the USS Johnston destroyer, and took out the MK43 telescope belonging to Captain Evans from it.
Aiming at the direction where the scream came from.
Between the gaps in the tree canopy, he clearly saw a path that was only one meter wide, winding through the dense forest.
On this trail, heavily armed Japanese soldiers were lining up, but on the side of the road, there were several young white soldiers hanging from the branches of a big tree.
In front of them, a young soldier's arms had been cut off at the elbows. At this time, four Japanese soldiers were working in groups of two, tying up his wounds with ropes and violently stopping the bleeding.
Next to this suffering soldier, there was a Japanese soldier who was wiping his command knife with a cowboy hat. At his feet were two hands with all the fingers cut off!
At this moment, Hugo also climbed up another tree next to him. He also raised his telescope and silently watched the tragedy that happened on the path.
Soon, with a new round of screams, the Japs wielding the command knife chopped off another calf of the young soldier, while several Japs around him were still clapping and applauding, even those passing by.
The soldiers, after passing by the bloody execution site, were whispering to each other with smiles on their faces.
Although the view was not clear due to the obstruction of the tree canopy, Wei Ran still noticed that Hugo raised the Enfield rifle on his back several times and then put it down several times.
In the end, this soldier, who was only twenty-three or fourteen years old, tremblingly took out a small book only about the size of a palm from his arms, hugged the tree trunk, and recorded something on it with a pencil, and from time to time, he would erase it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he raised his telescope and pointed it at the polluted path.
At the same time, Wei Ran on another tree never put down the telescope in his hand, silently watching the demons in the distance cut off the soldier's limbs and genitals wantonly and violently stopped the bleeding, silently
Watching them take off all the clothes on the still living soldier, and use four wooden wedges to nail his limbs to the trunk of a thick tree growing beside the path.
Finally, those demons extended their butcher knives to another young soldier who was hanging on the tree.
Under the peeping eyes of Wei Ran and the tearful Hugo, in their respective telescopes, the soldier's limbs were chopped off, his abdominal cavity was opened, and then his head was chopped off with a knife.
The third, the fourth, the fifth.
In the end, when the last Australian soldier, who was frightened and completely collapsed, was nailed alive to the tree trunk with wooden wedges amidst meaningless screams, the first soldier who was nailed to the tree trunk also followed.
He let out a desperate roar.
On the crown of the tree next door, Hugo once again raised the Enfield rifle he had brought, first aiming at the demon wiping the butcher knife, and then at the two men nailed to the tree.
A young soldier.
But in the end, he just hammered the tree trunk hard, gritted his teeth and put on the telescope again, and continued to stare at the winding enemies whose heads could not even be seen, recording vital intelligence.
About five minutes later, Hugo and Wei Ran climbed down from the dense canopy one after another and returned to the surface again.
"Guys, we must not let those demons capture Moresby, we must not let them invade Australia!"
Hugo, who was pale but had red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "We must drive them away, drive them away from Papua!"
"Hugo, you...what did you see?" Neil asked nervously.
"Don't ask." Wei Ran answered the question for Hugo and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Let's go north," Hugo said, rubbing his face vigorously. "We want to know how many troops they have."
While talking, Hugo tore off a piece of paper from the palm-sized notepad, folded it in half and handed it to Valoro. At the same time, he communicated a few words with Valoro and Kaikai in native language.
Soon, the piece of paper was handed over from Valoro's hand to Kaikai's, along with the Sten submachine gun in Valoro's hand.
Taking the note and the weapon, an indigenous man named Kaikai unscrewed a small brown glass medicine bottle tied with a leather rope around his neck, rolled up the note, stuffed it in and screwed on the bottle cap, and then pinned it to his waist.
He handed the Browning rifle to Valoro, and then said something in dialect.
Under the gaze of Wei Ran and others, Kaikai held the Sten submachine gun in one hand and the magazine removed from Qiang's body in the other, and disappeared into the green hell-like jungle in the blink of an eye.
"Let's leave quickly"
After Hugo finished speaking, he exchanged a few words with Valoro in dialect. The latter first took the Enfield rifle that Hugo had just borrowed, and exchanged the submachine gun he held for him with the former, and then handed the original
The Browning Hi-Power pistol belonging to Hugo was pinned to his belt, and then he waved to the three of them, taking the lead and crossing a dead tree lying on the ground, covered with moss and mushrooms.
"Will Kaikai come back? Can he find us?" Neil asked worriedly.
"Valolo has already made an appointment with him to meet at a meeting place."
Hugo, who was much more silent than before, responded dully. Seeing this, Neil and Wei Ran looked at each other and wisely closed their mouths.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under the leadership of Valoro, everyone just had time to climb to a high ground, and it started pouring rain without any warning.
Compared with Neil's confusion, Valoro, who was born and raised in this jungle, was obviously used to it. He found a few banana trees in the rain and skillfully built a small tent with large banana leaves and vines.
Shelter, and then took the opportunity to fill his water bottle with fresh rainwater.
At the same time, Wei Ran and Hugo also walked towards the Kokoda Trail not far away in the rain, and saw the nuclear recruits who had also paused to take shelter from the rain.
"Do you want to do something?" Wei Ran asked Hugo in a low voice beside him.
"never mind"
After some hesitation, Hugo waved his hand and refused, "We have too few people. Rather than killing a few enemies here, it is better to ensure that the information is sent back."
"What was your position when you were in the 27th Infantry Brigade?" Wei Ran changed the topic to a topic that had nothing to do with the scene.
"Motorcycle Urgent Delivery Person"
Hugo wiped the rain from his face and replied almost murmuring to himself, "My daily job is to deliver battle reports on that Norton motorcycle that seems to be farting every time I refuel. When I come back, I can still
Drop by for a drink.”
"Where's that friend of yours?" Wei Ran asked vaguely, "That good friend named Hannibal Simpson, what does he do?"
"He's a radio operator"
Hugo held up a telescope wrapped in banana leaves and tried to see the soldiers clearly in the rain. He kept explaining, "That's a real playboy. He joined the army just because he thought it was cool. In fact, he didn't like fighting."
.However, I have to admit that his skills in sending and receiving telegrams are very good and very healthy.
Of course, he is also very popular with girls. As long as he has time, that bastard will borrow my motorcycle to hang out in bars, and once he even almost lost my motorcycle."
"He will be fine," Wei Ran wished against his will.
"I hope so"
Hugo sighed, and after observing to no avail, he carefully retreated and continued, "I really don't know how to face his parents. Do you know that feeling? I came back, but he
disappeared.
His parents will definitely wonder why I am back and not their Hannibal. People are selfish, aren't they? Especially when it comes to their own children. But they are very good to me and my wife. But they are very good to me and my wife.
If this is the case, the more guilty I feel.”
"Hugo"
Wei Ran stopped the other party in the majestic rain, pointed behind him and said, "You have to understand one thing. It was not you who caused Hannibal to disappear, but those bastards behind him. If you want to do something,
I think there is nothing more useful than killing those invaders."
"I think so"
Hugo took a deep breath and said, "That's why I came here. I didn't want to go back to the battlefield. Who knew those bastards came up again? In this case, we must kill them."
"Let's go"
Wei Ran said, patting the other party's shoulder, and walked quickly back to the banana leaf shack that Valoro had temporarily built, which was better than nothing.
Just like last time at Savage Mountain, Wei Ran took advantage of this rare opportunity to rub his clothes on a stone, and then pulled a large piece of moss to use as a bath towel and took a bath.
Seeing this, Neil and Hugo also washed their clothes and bodies, and then lay naked on two banana leaves under the shelter.
While they were waiting patiently, the heavy rain continued without warning for more than two hours and then stopped without any warning. When everyone saw this, they immediately picked up their belongings and set off, almost as calm as before.
The Kokoda Trail parallels the path and moves quickly through the dense forest.
Soon, as night fell, the rain forest became more and more noisy, and the Japanese who were on their way stopped again and began to bury pots and make rice.
Seeing this, Wei Ran and others also stopped and hid on a slope at the edge of the trail, quietly watching the enemies who had set up tents, watching them unscrupulously lighting bonfires and baking their soggy food.
Clothes and shoes.
At the same time, Wei Ran and others also followed Valoro's example, chewing up a slightly bitter plant leaf, and smearing the sticky liquid mixed with saliva on the exposed skin to resist the effects of aging.
Swarms of mosquitoes.
I have to say that this method is indeed effective, but the cost is that the areas where it was applied, including the mouth, suffer from indescribable itching and a vague burning sensation.
After rinsing his mouth with water from the kettle, Valoro left everyone in the dim sky, and soon after, he brought back his friend Kaikai and a bunch of bananas.
After communicating with Kaikai, Hugo was silent for a moment and said, "Kaikai said that when he came back, Dean and the others had already retreated and moved. At the same time, the base camp hopes that we can find out how many enemies there are."
"What do we need to do?" Neil asked after eating a banana in two bites.
"Guys, maybe we can do something tonight."
Hugo took a bite of the banana and whispered, "Even if we just shoot them from a distance and run away, we can keep them busy for a while."
Wei Ran pushed aside the bushes that blocked his view, glanced at the Japs around the bonfire at the edge of the trail and whispered, "Maybe we can keep them from resting all night."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hugo's eyes immediately lit up, he came to Wei Ran's side and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Do you think they dare to enter the jungle at night?" Wei Ran asked a new question before answering.
"Don't say they don't dare, neither can we."
Hugo said helplessly, "There are many deadly things in this jungle, from legless snakes to four-legged crocodiles to eight-legged spiders. Maybe some inconspicuous little thing can kill us."
Life."
“This is a bit troublesome”
Wei Ran muttered regretfully, and then began to think about the risks of conducting a sneak attack at night and the benefits.
In the dim forest, Wei Ran and others were lost in thought until Valoro whispered something in native dialect. Hugo immediately sat up straight, with a trace of excitement that could not be concealed, and started again with the two indigenous soldiers.
They communicated in a low voice that only the three of them could understand.
