Chapter 331: Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. There was silence in the primeval forest in the middle of the Cutthroat Island.
In this primeval forest with hundreds of millions of years of life, time seems to stand still. The air is filled with the smell of rotten trees, and occasionally a little bit of sunlight leaks through the dense branches and leaves, moving slowly in the forest covered with fallen leaves.

Suddenly, a burst of "cuckoo" birdsong sounded.
Accompanied by the crisp chirping of birds, a thin gray figure crouched and quietly slipped into the primeval forest.
That gray figure was the poisonous snake that went to the beach to investigate the situation. Walking into the primeval forest full of swamps, the poisonous snake felt as if he had returned home. His steps became more relaxed and weird, with several ups and downs before disappearing into the vast forest sea.
The chirping of birds stopped, and the dead silence instantly returned to the primeval forest.
However, the silence this time was not as long-lasting as in the past. Just over ten minutes later, a burst of messy and heavy footsteps broke the silence of the primeval forest again.
The advance force, composed of the Reconnaissance Company of the Paratrooper Regiment and more than twenty members of the Swordfish Commandos, has crossed the hilly areas on the outskirts of Cutthroat Island and penetrated deep into the primeval forest in the center of the island.
In the primeval forest, there are towering ancient trees, and various tropical trees are stacked together. Arm-thick rattans are entangled between the big trees, like a huge spider web, connecting the entire forest together.
More than thirty soldiers of the reconnaissance company, led by the deputy company commander Major Krissy, held daggers and daggers to clear the way ahead. Lieutenant Colonel Paulson, the deputy captain of the Swordfish Commando, led more than 20 Swordfish Commandos.
The team members pressed forward at the rear of the team. The remaining more than a hundred soldiers of the reconnaissance company, led by the company commander Lieutenant Colonel Diarra, slowly advanced along the newly opened road.
A soldier from the reconnaissance company swung his knife to cut off a vine that was entangled between two trees. Just as he was about to move forward, he heard a creaking sound and more than a dozen thin and long branches suddenly shot out from the surrounding bushes.
Those branches were sharpened with daggers, as if they were sharp spears. With a whistling wind, they shot at the more than thirty soldiers of the reconnaissance company who were walking in the front.
.
Blood splattered everywhere, screams could not be heard, and seven or eight soldiers were stabbed to the ground by spears on the spot.
"Everyone, be careful, don't fall into the enemy's traps and traps." Major Krissy swung his sword to deflect an oncoming spear, and shouted at the soldiers who were fleeing for cover.
Before Chrissy finished speaking, a soldier missed the mark and fell into a trap camouflaged with fallen branches and leaves. Although the trap was only more than half a meter deep, there was a row of sharp bamboo sticks standing underneath.
A shrill scream rang out, and the soldier's right leg was penetrated by a bamboo stick, and several holes were stabbed in his lower abdomen. Blood flowed rapidly, and the soldier struggled desperately, holding on to the trap with both hands, and kept wailing.
Screaming.
Looking at the bloodstained soldier, Chrissy quickly ordered the team to stop advancing, and personally led several soldiers to pull the soldier out of the trap.
A health soldier carrying a medical kit ran over, squatted next to the wounded, took out hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, and tried his best to save the dying wounded.
On the battlefield, only by allowing yourself to survive can you have a chance to defeat the enemy. This principle is the same for both warring parties.
However, the coldness and ruthlessness of war are also fully revealed at this moment. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. On the life-and-death battlefield, only killing and bloodshed, and trying every means to kill the enemy, can one be freed.
Survive longer. Only in this way can you persist until the last moment and usher in the dawn of victory alive.
Just when the health worker took out a bandage from the medicine box and tried to bandage the wounded man's wound, a spear roared over and nailed the health worker to the ground alive.
Then, there was a loud sound of gunfire. Tongues of flames spurted out from the surrounding bushes, and bullets poured out like a torrential rain. In an instant, all the soldiers responsible for opening the road ahead fell into a pool of blood.
Hearing the gunshots from the front, Lieutenant Colonel Diarra, the commander of the reconnaissance company, hurriedly led the large troops to advance quickly, wanting to rush to support the leading troops in front immediately.
However, when they arrived at the battle site, apart from the bodies of more than thirty soldiers from the reconnaissance company, there was not a single soul around them.
The primeval forest fell silent again, the surroundings were quiet, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air. The red blood, red soil, and dim light looked particularly eerie.
Two ghostly figures shuttled through the leafy canopy. Not long after, the two figures had silently circled behind the Swordfish Commando who was responsible for holding the rear.
There were screams and gunfire from the front. The Swordfish Commando at the rear was also on tenterhooks, with more than 20 team members following suit and moving forward cautiously.
At this time, the Swordfish Commando had already marched to the swampy area in the hinterland of the forest, and the team members advanced step by step.
Suddenly, a head poked out from a large tree more than ten meters high, and then, a figure rose into the sky. Through the dim light in the forest, the figure silently descended from the sky, towards the two soldiers walking at the rear.
Fall.
Like a fallen leaf dancing in the wind, Ye Feng fell down silently on his head and feet. When he was three meters above the ground, Ye Feng decisively chose to take action. He stretched out his right hand, and a spear made of branches
He mercilessly stabbed the soldier on the right into the back of his heart. At the same time, he struck the soldier on the left heavily on the neck with a knife from his left hand.
The huge impact brought by the fall from the sky, coupled with the tremendous force on Ye Feng's arm, cut the soldier's neck into a twisted shape. His head suddenly jerked to the right, and then went limp.
The ground sank.
The huge inertia was all exerted on the soldier, and Ye Feng landed lightly on the ground, stepping on the soft mud without making the slightest sound. As soon as he landed, Ye Feng quickly stepped forward and hugged the quilt.
The soldier who cut off the neck gently placed the body on the ground. Then he slowly lowered his spear and let the body of the other soldier fall down.
Ye Feng took out the daggers from the two soldiers and stuffed them into his arms. To carry out a close-range sneak attack, daggers were more effective than pistols and could kill the enemy silently.
On the other side, the poisonous snake also started to take action. The poisonous snake held a dagger in its mouth and slid down quickly along a long and thick vine. As it got closer and closer to the soldiers below, the poisonous snake suddenly opened its arms and used only its hands.
Hanging on the vines with its feet, it slid to the top of a soldier's head in a swish. Then, the viper grabbed both sides of the soldier's head with both hands, and then with a wrong force, the soldier's head immediately fell down.
The poisonous snake hugged the soldier's body and gently fell to the ground. It quickly rolled forward, ducked behind the tree like a ghost, walked around the towering tree as thick as the encirclement, and stabbed another one with a dagger.
A soldier just walked past a big tree.
Suddenly, a soldier walking in front turned around, but he did not notice the four companions behind him. The soldier immediately became nervous and was about to shout out to other teammates when the poisonous snake came out from behind the big tree again.
, raised his right hand, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into the soldier's throat like lightning.
With a splash, the soldier fell to the ground. The other soldiers heard the sound and immediately became alert. Lieutenant Colonel Paulson immediately ordered the Swordfish Commando to stop advancing, and the rear team became the front team, and every three people formed a group.
They quickly moved to the rear and started searching.
Reduce frontal contact and focus on roundabout and sneak attacks. This is the task given to Ye Feng and Viper by Li Huo. The two also understood Li Huo's meaning very well. By the time the enemy realized that someone was attacking from behind, the two of them had quickly disappeared.
In the vast forest.
Boom, a loud noise came from the depths of the forest. Then, loud noises came one after another. The explosion was deafening, and the huge impact made the entire forest tremble.
Some of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who were walking at the front cut off a vine that shouldn't have been cut, and suddenly triggered the grenade attached to the vine. A series of more than ten grenades exploded one after another, exploding on the spot.
More than ten soldiers died. In the panic, someone accidentally stepped on the camouflage trap and was hit by a thousand arrows from a sharp bamboo stick. For a time, the scene was horrific, with screams one after another, and blood everywhere.
and broken limbs that were blown to pieces.
Ye Feng and Viper bypassed the reconnaissance company's troops, which had become a mess, and then emerged from the primeval forest with ease, and quickly arrived at the foot of the hill in the center of the island.
This is Liehuo's temporarily designated gathering place. Wolide and others are recharging their energy behind a big rock, while Liehuo is hiding alone on a hill a hundred meters away, responsible for reconnaissance and warning.
Seeing Ye Feng and Viper walking out of the virgin forest, Liehuo greeted them with a smile, and then led the two of them back to their temporary base.
"Everyone, our next mission is to completely eliminate the reconnaissance company before dark." Liehuo looked at his watch, then faced everyone and said solemnly. "It is now half past two in the afternoon.
There are still about four hours until dark, which is plenty of time for us to carry out several more sneak attacks."
"Commander, why are you in such a hurry to eliminate them? Isn't it okay to play with them slowly like just now?" Wolide blinked and said in confusion.
"Based on the current situation, the reconnaissance company is no match for us at all. A conservative estimate is that almost one-third of the reconnaissance company has been killed or wounded. If the battle continues like this, they will definitely send a signal to the parachute regiment headquarters for help."
Liehuo observed the direction of the forest very vigilantly, and then continued. "Cutthroat Island is 800 kilometers away from the west coast of Europe, and almost 1,700 kilometers away from Corsica, France, where the Parachute Regiment is based. The cruising speed of the C130 transport aircraft is 602
km/h, that is to say, it only takes three hours to get from Corsica to Cutthroat Island.”
"One C130 transport aircraft can deliver 92 paratroopers at a time, but in order to achieve combat effectiveness, the Parachute Regiment will inevitably use multiple C130 transport aircraft to deliver at the same time. The Corsica Air Force Base of the Parachute Regiment has about twenty C130 transport aircraft.
It is enough to deliver the entire paratrooper regiment at the same time. Even if they only send a few hundred people for reinforcements temporarily, they will also use almost seven or eight C130 transport aircraft to transport and deliver equipment and supplies. Such a large-scale dispatch will inevitably cause trouble around the Mediterranean.
The country is alert. So, I think that if the large forces of the Parachute Regiment and the Swordfish Commando are coming for reinforcements, they will definitely choose to operate at night."
"In contrast, the Cutthroat Island where we are located is about 8 kilometers long from north to south. The narrowest part at both ends is only a few hundred meters, and the widest part in the middle is only 14 kilometers. Moreover, the center of Cutthroat Island is full of dense virgin forest.
, it is not suitable for paratroopers to parachute at all. If they want to come for reinforcements, they will definitely choose to parachute on the relatively flat beaches on the east and west sides of the island. In that case, we will inevitably be at the disadvantage of being flanked by both sides.
situation. If there is still an enemy group in the forest in the center of the island at this time, they will restrict our movements so that we cannot quickly move and hide in the forest. Therefore, although I don’t know whether the reinforcements will be tonight or what day
We came at night, but for our own safety, we must completely eliminate the reconnaissance company that has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Cutthroat Island before dark."
Liehuo's analysis was very clear and thorough. The doubts in everyone's minds disappeared immediately. Wo Lid gave Liehuo a thumbs up and said with a smile. "Commander-in-Chief, how will we deal with the reconnaissance company next?"
Liehuo looked at his watch and said with a smile. "The reconnaissance company has been in the forest for an hour and should be able to cross the forest soon. We will set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain and give them a head-on attack."
