Chapter 782: The Expeditionary Force Enters Savage Mountain
Until they learned that the vanguard of the Japanese army was still two days away from here.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force then began to advance steadily towards the depths of the Wild Man Mountain.
They could no longer hear the sound of explosions in the primeval forest.
But General Du and his men knew that the explosions ahead were still continuing.
Entering the Savage Mountain is extremely dangerous. As the vanguard of the entire army, the engineering battalion has already suffered casualties.
Despite their tight protection, three expeditionary soldiers still stayed in Savage Mountain forever.
The large expeditionary force advanced into the Savage Mountain, and only then did everyone realize what the vanguard troops had done.
I saw a simple artificial road 20 meters wide winding through the forest.
On both sides of the road, there were towering trees that had been blown down.
They all fell in the same direction, and the charred branches told everyone that they were all broken by explosives.
Everyone gasped, and an outsider lamented how much explosives were needed to complete these operations.
Even experts are amazed when they see this, this is directional blasting.
The people in Gannan actually used the technology of continuous directional blasting to blow it up so neatly.
The weeds and bushes in the middle of the road have been cleared away by a bulldozer.
The scattered broken tree branches were also cleared to both sides of the road using a small crane.
They also spread a lot of lime powder to prevent being attacked by snakes, insects, rats and ants during the march.
They made good progress the first day, as the roads had been violently cleared beforehand.
They actually marched more than 30 kilometers in the primeval forest of Savage Mountain.
McDu secretly used a drone to help them locate themselves in the air so that they would not go the wrong way.
Among the expeditionary force that withdrew back to the country, there were more than forty female soldiers.
Commander Du took good care of them and even made special preparations at the beginning to let them move with the headquarters.
Now that McDu is leading the team, following the front team has become the safest position.
These people in Gannan are very strange. It seems that they never carry too much food and drinking water.
It was not until dinner time that we discovered that they were sitting in the front and that we could always smell delicious food.
It was not until the next morning that parachutes carrying supplies slowly descended from the sky.
They helped the Gannan soldiers open the boxes and saw barrels of white porridge.
When they saw steamed buns, pickled mustard tubers and braised pork, the female soldiers cheered.
McDu came over and announced that the soldiers of the expeditionary force's engineering battalion had to do physical work.
These braised meats, steamed buns and pickles should be supplied to them first.
The female soldiers of the expeditionary force were not ignorant pretty girls. They naturally knew what was important and what was not. They could not compete for food with the soldiers doing physical work.
Just when they were feeling a little depressed, McDu had someone bring in a few more boxes.
When everyone opened it, they saw more than 40 full servings of milk and egg pancake meal set meals.
McDu: “This is Commander Song from Gannan, specially arranged for you.
He hopes that you can all get out of the Savage Mountain and return to the country smoothly."
Commander Du also knew the news because the news came from the military hospital.
Their wounded and medical staff also received a copy for special reasons.
Commander Du did not ask anyone to get a copy for himself, nor did he allow anyone else to get one.
Commander-in-Chief Song Gao Yi did not treat the brothers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who crossed the Wild Man Mountains unfairly.
But people have their strength when they are poor, and Commander Song does not have endless wealth, so they also have to know when to stop.
Song Wenwan: The system just announced that I saved China's national defense.
To promote the great Chinese national prestige abroad, please give a big reward!
In this way, Song Wenwan gained a lot of points because of her cooperation with the expeditionary force.
The biggest contributor today is naturally General Du, the "number one on the list".
Because there were engineers leading the way, they moved very quickly in the first two days and had already penetrated deep into the heart of the Savage Mountain.
It is not easy to go further back, as the trees here are getting thicker and thicker.
Using explosives alone to blow up trees won't have much effect.
Then it is time for these Gannan special forces members to show their skills.
I saw that the pipes they got from somewhere were about one meter long and as thick as pickaxe handles.
The special forces members told the female soldiers of the expeditionary force that this thing was called a blasting tube.
This was what they used to attack strongholds, but it was later discontinued due to upgrades and is now used to clear the way for the expeditionary force.
They connected the blasting tubes together and then snaked their way forward.
After connecting for a distance of about two hundred meters, the soldiers in front retreated.
"Everyone retreat and lie down. Get ready. Detonate!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Following the sound of the explosion, a trail of smoke rushed towards the direction of the motherland, two hundred meters, two hundred meters, moving forward steadily.
Although there are difficulties and obstacles ahead, they cannot stop the child's desire to return home.
McDu: “Captain Song told us this when we were about to arrive.
Regardless of whether the expeditionary force wins or loses, the motherland will always be by your side and your strongest backing. "
"Wow..."
The female soldiers of the expeditionary force were clapping their hands vigorously. They all had the idea in their hearts that they must visit Gansu after returning home.
The commander of the engineering battalion who was sent to help also had a look of envy and jealousy on his face.
These Gansu people are really very arrogant.
Even though they didn't even bring any supplies with them, they dared to go deep into the Savage Mountain in the tropical rainforest.
Later they found out how these people in Gansu survived. It turned out that they relied on airdrops from Gannan.
From the explosives they used to blow up the rainforest to the food and drinking water they needed every day, all of them relied on airdrops.
This is what Commander Du has always wondered about. McDu always has an endless supply of explosives and never has to worry about them getting damp.
It turns out that the explosives and food they used were all freshly produced.
The Japanese pursued us with an entire brigade, following the obvious "tree road" in the heavy rain.
All the Japanese soldiers were chasing excitedly, and every one of them felt that the time had come for them to make contributions for their Japanese emperor.
They have been hiding in the woods these days, and finally found the main force of the national army today.
There was a ready-made good road to take, so they pursued it even more vigorously.
When the Japanese regiment commander saw that his troops were so impulsive, he quickly made suggestions to the brigade commander.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, aren't we being too reckless by going into Savage Mountain like this?
I have read the book "Precautions for Entering the Tropical Rainforest" written by Chief of Staff Ono.
We are short of equipment, medicines, and food. If we go into the mountains without preparation, we may be wiped out."
The Japanese brigade commander said: "Bakayashi, Commander Yamamoto is a coward in battle. You are not a samurai."
Captain Yamamoto: Oh my god, you can’t listen to any nice words?
It's really unfortunate to have to live under a reckless man like you.
He had no choice, as Japan was also a society with a strict hierarchy.
After being hit by two big guys, Captain Yamamoto had to go back to the front to take control of the troops.
The Japanese chased us for a whole day, and only stopped to rest when they reached the place where the expeditionary army camped on the first day.
As night fell, the Japanese were dumbfounded because they had run out of food.
