Chapter 343 Encounter
Life in the mountain forest is completely different from that of brothers in Baston. There are no trenches and foxholes of the two armies, and there will be no 88mm cannons bombarding at the woods. The most important thing for the brothers is to build a simple wooden camp with branches and thatch, and a relatively high lookout on the trees on the periphery of the camp is also used for observation and warning tasks. With available mountains, Parks also arranged people to dig simple crisscrossing tunnels and traps and bunkers built using the mountains. Everything is to deal with the counterattack followed by the Japanese army. This is Parkx's worst plan. In case it is discovered by the Japanese army, these can be used to cause major blows and killings to the Japanese army.
This is a typical arrangement of mountain defense operations. Even the current senior generals, General Wenwright, did not expect that today's arrangement of Parks is almost the same as that of the Vietnamese battlefield more than a decade later.
"Why don't we contact the outside world? Now the Allies are about to reach the mainland of Japan. We can't stay here and wait to die. Isn't there a radio station here? I want to contact the navy of the British Empire. I want them to take me home. God, I've had enough of this place!" Sir Yang started to scratch again. In this forest, he was about to spend ten days. In the past ten days, he often complained about this and that. He grabbed a fruit on his wooden plate, then stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then burst out with a "poo". He had reached the point of nausea when he ate this wild fruit.
"Yes, we can still spend a few days?" Governor Shavor also frowned. At first, when he heard Sir Yang complaining, he thought he was just a hypocritical British bad temper, but now he has to think about it. What they lack most now is food. The wild fruit has changed from the original meal to the main meal. If it goes on like this, they will certainly not last long. The beasts running around the four mountains, the fish in the stream and the birds perched on the trees have become the targets of hunting. So much so that the animals in this area are about to disappear.
"Yes, we can't sit back and wait!" The other two judges also agreed with them. But those generals did not raise any objection. They could suffer more than these governors and judges who had lived a luxurious life before. Even after experiencing the military's prisoner-of-war camps, these people's delicate habits have not been completely changed.
"Someone has to talk to the major!" A judge said to Sir Yang, "We can't go, but if it's them, it's different!" Sir Yang said with his eyes to the talking generals who were moving outside the house on the other side, "I think the major will definitely listen to their words."
"Good idea!" Governor Shavor nodded and then looked at him; Sir Yang said, "Okay, let's try. I'll talk to them first and wait for my good news!" With that, he stood up, clapped his hands, and walked towards the group of generals.
"Hey, generals, what are you talking about? War? I like war! I'm very interested in this. I knew that you soldiers always have the honor of soldiers, and these will be found on the battlefield!" As Governor Shawold walked, he thought about the group of generals greeting. Although it seemed a little unsmenly to disturb their conversation, he didn't care much.
"No, we didn't talk about war, Mr. Shavor!" General Parker turned his head and smiled at the guy who was forced to join the conversation, "Soldiers don't necessarily need war. Do you know what the meaning of soldiers is? This is the topic we discussed just now. Are you interested?
"Of course I'm interested. It's because of this that I came here. To be honest, I almost became a soldier. I hate politics and I like the straightforwardness of soldiers!" Summer smiled and said, "Did you just talk about the meaning of soldiers? God, do you know what I think now? The greatest significance of soldiers is to win every war!" Suddenly, he thought that all the generals here had been captured by the Japanese army. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed and stammered, "I mean... I mean..." Obviously, he realized that he had said something wrong and stammered a little.
"Well, what are you going to say?" General Wainwright said to him unhappily that he didn't like these politicians. Compared with soldiers, he preferred pure soldiers.
Shaver has recovered. As a politician, he can quickly get rid of his embarrassment and hide it well. He smiled with a warm expression on his face and said, "That's it. General! You know that we don't know much about some things. We have been here for a long time. If there is no clear goal and material guarantee, how can we get out of the current predicament? Then they said with some embarrassment, "They have never experienced war, so they are a little desperate for the current environment. Our food is running out, so we can't sit back and wait for it!" With that, he turned his head again and motioned to the governors and judges.
General Wwright nodded and said, "Major Parks has considered this problem. Don't worry, there will be food. We are waiting here because we believe in Major Parks and believe in him. This experience will pass soon. Tell those gentlemen to stay here well. Maybe it won't be long before we go home!"
Shavor smiled with a sigh of relief and said, "I think too much about it. It turns out that the major has been prepared. That's good. Such a difficulty is actually nothing. I know what the war is like, but those gentlemen don't know. I can only reluctantly ask them! I really can't understand them!" Shavor put himself on the side of these generals in a few words, but no one listened to him talk about it here. And Shavor couldn't find anything to say and left in a hurry.
"What did they say?" When Sir Yang saw Governor Sherwall coming over, he asked anxiously, which was his biggest concern.
"I have asked them to tell Major Parks our opinion, and I believe there will be a result soon. Don't those soldiers know what we have suffered? We can't let such a noble person accept hunger. We can't decide not to do anything because of a major's opinion, can we? Well, gentlemen, you can rest assured that they attach great importance to my opinion, and there will be a result soon! Let's wait!" When Shavor said this, he didn't blush at all.
Major Parks is indeed preparing. He personally led a platoon patrol to start activities near Liaoyuan. Liaoyuan is just a small city, and the closer Parks team is Xi'an County, where a Japanese squadron is stationed. The total number is less than 200. There must be my stored materials here, but if I rush in and rob the county, I believe it will be easy, but I will also expose my deeds, which will attract a large number of Japanese troops to counterattack. At this time, Parks didn't want to see it. Even in the radio station, it is forbidden to be used in the team, and the radio signal is easy to detect, which is why Parks is unwilling to contact the outside world. He has to wait until the day the Japanese army surrenders.
The patrol team walked on the edge of the mountain forest. With the cover of deep grass and trees, they walked and watched around vigilantly. And these days, they almost have to patrol around the neighborhood, and Parks doesn't want to make any mistakes at the last moment. The only thing they are worried about now is the material problem. They won't last long. Although the Japanese army is getting closer and closer to the Japanese who surrendered in history.
"How do you feel about Europe?" Hubler, who was walking in front of the line, chewed a leaf in his mouth and looked at the front, but he still did not forget to ask Luz behind him, "There are too many differences between Europe here. If I can still go to Africa, I have no regrets. I can tell my neighbors when I go home, second In the second war, I went to all the battlefields!"
"It's better for you to get what you want, Hooborough!" Luz also had a leaf in his mouth, and a camouflaged straw hat on his head. "But you may be disappointed. I won't follow you to Africa. The girls there are not very enthusiastic! Of course, I don't like China either. Look, we haven't seen a girl for so long! I still have 50 condoms in my backpack!"
There was a burst of laughter behind him. White said to Luz behind him, "Forget your condom, Luz." Then he smiled at everyone and said, "Even if it's just a female now, even if it's a wild boar, he won't let it go!"
"Well, White, take care of your bird. I will cut it off to make a pot of broth when you are asleep. Do you know what I need most now? It's just a pot of broth!" Luz refused to suffer a loss and immediately fought back. Parks just smiled and watched them cancel each other. He did not interfere in these behaviors, which was their habit.
Suddenly, Hubler in front of him squatted down and raised his hand. Everyone immediately dispersed and hid separately. Their weapons had been picked up and they reacted quickly. Everyone looked around warily.
"Maranqi, Lyle!" Parks walked quickly to the front, and then observed. He whispered to the two and gestured, signaling them to copy a sound from the place in front of the two loaves. There are dense grass growing behind a row of trees, and the sound comes from there. From Parks's experience, there must be someone hiding in that place!
"Heliger, take a class to surround from the left, Randolman, take people from the right, and the rest of the people follow me to attack the formation from the front!" Parks' order was issued quickly, and by this time, Marage and Lyle had quietly touched over there, stopped near the grass, and then gestured to Parks and the others, indicating that they could start to take action.
"Up! Move fast!" Parks moved quickly. He first jumped out of the grass, and then bowed his waist and ran forward. Mararch and Lyle had occupied the favorable terrain. Once someone came forward, they would be sniped by them.
With a "clam", Parks and the others rushed up, and suddenly shook fiercely from the grass. It seemed that someone had noticed Parks's action and wanted to react, but soon, Parks and they had rushed in front of them, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at them, a group of people wearing gray cloth. The middle of the military uniform.
One of the [***] people still held steamed buns in their hands and pressed one hand on the rifle. The rest of the soldiers must not be much stronger. Before they could react, they were surrounded by Parks and others.
The soldier sitting in the middle with a German Mauser pistol on his shoulder saw Pax and the others. He couldn't help but grow his mouth. Then he slowly loosened and pressed it on the pistol box. He slowly stood up and said to Pax, "Are you Americans?"
Parks nodded, looked at the soldier with a strong northeast accent and said, "You should answer my question first. Who are you? Say it myself? Or Chinese?" Parks speaks Mandarin with a round tone, and there is no need to worry that the soldier can't understand.
Only then did the soldier realize the current situation and couldn't help smiling bitterly, "Well, let me say first, I'm the Eighth Route Army under the Chinese GD tie. Now it's time to tell us who you are?"
Parks looked at his costumes, and then looked at the food and armor in their hands, as well as their rifles. He couldn't help nodding and said, "I believe what you said. You are indeed the Eighth Route Army, not the Japanese Army's disguise."
The soldier couldn't help smiling bitterly, and then walked towards Parks. Hubler instinctively stepped forward to stop him. Parks stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Hubler, they are middle-aged people, not themselves!"
"My name is Guo Dahai, the company commander of the Reading Reconnaissance Company of the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army!" The soldier stretched out his hand and shook it with Parks, "These people are the first reconnaissance team led by me. I just didn't expect that I hadn't detected your news, so I asked you to be surrounded!" With that, he smiled bitterly, which obviously made him feel a little depressed.
"My name is Les? Parks!" Parks nodded to him and said, "I don't know why you are here, but I hope you don't reveal our whereabouts." Parker's tone smelled of warning.
Guo Dahai hurriedly said, "No, Mr. Major, we entered this area for you. We took a lot of risk to come in. If the devils hadn't completely shrunk their troops during this period of time, we wouldn't have been able to get in! The superior asked us to find you, connect with you, and then take you out of here secretly!"
Parks couldn't help laughing and said, "I know that I have been with your Li Z Civil Affairs Committee. You can sneak in and out at any time, but we can't do it. We have more than 1,500 people, and they are still Europeans. There is no way to go out at all. I just want. If we block the key intersections, we will throw ourselves into the trap. I believe you have also taken it into consideration!"
Guo Dahai nodded with some admiration and said, "Yes, our superiors have also considered this situation. They just want us to mobilize the organization here to solve the problems you urgently need."
This is practical. No matter how beautiful Guo Dahai's words are, he can't change the practical problems he faces. If he can go out, Parks will not hide in the mountains and forests, and he will not have to wait until Japan's surrender.
"Well, Company commander Guo, what we need now is nothing else, but supplies. We need food. If you can do it, I'm very happy to cooperate with you again!" Parks nodded to him, and his tone was full of strong vigilance. Obviously, even the Eighth Route Army would have reservations. "If possible, we can leave a way to contact!"
"Aren't you going to take us to your place?" Guo Dahai looked at Parks in surprise. He didn't expect that the American thought so. He came here at the risk, but he was covered up and didn't even let their strongholds go.
"Yes, Company commander Guo, let's leave the contact information, and then if there are any materials, we can exchange them at the agreed place!" Parks looked at him and nodded, "If you really want to exchange!" He couldn't be careless at all, so he chose a cautious way.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes! I'm sure, Company Chief Guo!" Parks said.
Looking at Parks's firm look, Guo Dahai just nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!" With that, the two agreed on the way and place of contact. Finally, under the gaze of Parks, Guo Dahai left with people.
"Martin, lead ordinary people on the alert task!" Parks said, "The rest of the people follow me back." After making sure that there was no one to follow, the group quietly returned from the original road.
Not long after they left, the grass shook a few times, and two shadows came out. One of them said, " Company commander, do you want to follow? Those Americans are so annoying. We haven't made a good face for him!"
Guo Dahai frowned and said, "Don't follow. Maybe you will be found by them and hurt the harmony. The quality of this group of people is very high. We are all people of the reconnaissance company, but we didn't expect to be sheltered at once, and we humiliated ourselves by following them!"
"That's because we are unprepared. If it's a real battle, will we be afraid of these Americans?" The man was obviously unconvinced.
"Well, what do you know? That major is definitely a master. I can smell it. Forget it. Let's go. Let's think about how to raise some supplies for them. We tried our best!" Company commander Guo said that the two of them quietly shrank back again. The grass shook for a while, and then they were silent. It seems that no one has ever been in this place!
