Chapter 2 Green Channel 3. Jungle Warfare (I)
It was dawn, and the mist rising from the entire jungle drifted towards Reception Station No. 39. The surrounding jungle finally became quiet, as if everything in Area No. 9 fell asleep at dawn, and everything returned to the tranquility of the jungle. The east slowly turned red, and the sky light turned from light blue to almost transparent light.
A roar came from the south sky, and suddenly a group of black helicopters appeared in the south sky, hovering like dragonflies. Almost at the same time, as if to join in the fun, helicopters appeared in several other directions. For a moment, the clear sky was filled with black shadows and arrogant noise.
Tiger stood under a tree, with Gong Yangzi and Li Ying by his side. He couldn't help but sigh, "When will I have a group of helicopters to fight guerrilla warfare?"
Li Ying's big, dark eyes were blazing with anger: "This 'M Country Daddy' is the worst! He bombed villages, shot women and children, and did all kinds of bad things!"
"'M Country Dad'!" Gong Yangzi was amused by this name.
"Hehe!" Tiger retracted his gaze and smiled coldly, with a cold light in his eyes, "Then let's let 'Old Man from Country M' go back to the King of Hell to retire today!"
Li Ying said softly, "Chief."
"You can call me Tiger too!"
"Yes!" Li Ying pointed at the helicopter. "The 'M Country Daddy' has rockets, M60 machine guns, and even bomb-dropping devices. Before the attack, they will launch a fierce fire attack. Comrades must pay attention to hiding."
Gong Yangzi curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, the attacks of the M country guys are all in accordance with a certain procedure. It's a fight to the death. Everyone of us has memorized it! We are alive!"
The M Army helicopters formed a formation in the air with twelve helicopters in the middle, and then four Cobra attack helicopters appeared in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest directions respectively, floating down. The whirlwinds created by the propellers messed up the jungle.
A soft ladder as long as a dog's intestine was lowered from the twelve "M Country Daddies" in the middle, which were armed transport helicopters.
"Send the signal! Launch sniper shooting!" Tiger ordered.
Gong Yangzi's walkie-talkie was already on, and he immediately shouted, "Tiger's order, sniper shooting! Tiger's order, sniper shooting!"
Tiger looked up at the sky and continued to issue orders: "The sniper must move to another position after each shot." Gong Yangzi repeated loudly into the walkie-talkie like a echoing man.
The huge roar of the helicopter covered up the sound of the sniper rifle's trigger. The only thing that could be seen was the M soldiers coming down the ladder, each of them seemed to have fallen down accidentally.
Bu Mei was in the helicopter in the center, watching all this clearly. He certainly knew that it was not his soldiers who failed, as his soldiers had been trained in helicopter airborne operations thousands of times. It seemed that there was a group of Y countrymen who had planned to compete with him. His face suddenly darkened: "Implement AB crossover and force landing!" Immediately, the helicopters of the M army retracted their ladders in pairs and rushed to the jungle in the middle from both ends, with machine guns spewing fire snakes. Dense machine gun bullets swept into the jungle like a rainstorm. The two helicopters in the middle continued to land people on the ground.
Tiger retracted his gaze towards the sky and shouted, "Stop sniping, get into a hidden position, and put the American guy into the jungle."
Lao Hu took the walkie-talkie from Gong Yangzi and put it on his back: "Gong Yangzi and Captain Li continue to observe here!"
Gong Yangzi hurriedly explained: "I..."
Tiger said in a deep voice: "The answer is yes!"
Gong Yangzi stood at attention and said, "Yes!"
Just as Li Ying was about to speak, the tiger had already jumped into the jungle and disappeared. Li Ying stamped her feet and tried to follow it.
Gong Yangzi stopped her at once: "I'm sorry, this is a battlefield order, Captain Li!"
Li Ying just laughed and went into the jungle, and Gong Yangzi followed him in a panic.
Bu Mei smiled: "OK! Let's go down!"
The eight helicopters in the central helicopter group launched more intense shooting in all directions. Taking this opportunity, the attack helicopters on all sides also began to use ladders to airdrop attack teams into the jungle around Reception Station No. 39. The four helicopters in the middle descended, and Bu Mei held the hand of Major Lankao who was about to descend: "I hope to bring back the commander of this army alive! I am interested in him."
"Yes, Colonel!" Major Lankao got down the ladder.
Bu Mei was still not satisfied and continued loudly: "Although they have the same spirit of daring to die as our soldiers, their lives should not be lost easily! Therefore, whenever we attack, use helicopters to cripple them first!"
Major Lankao didn't want to listen anymore. Although he was convinced by the colonel's theory, he was already familiar with it, so he quickly went down to the ground.
Bu Mei's helicopter rose up, and he made an elegant and powerful gesture , and said in a pleasant voice: "Walk around the entire battlefield and take a look at our warriors!"
Looking down from the sky, the entire tropical jungle was covered with trees. If it weren't for the Y country soldiers, he really couldn't bear to let those machine guns destroy the jungle.
"Attention, all teams, keep in touch with the helicopters. The first wave of ground attacks by each team is a tentative attack. Once you discover the enemy position, you should summon the helicopters to launch a devastating bombing and then attack!"
Bu Mei knew that he had said a lot, but he knew that these were a group of warriors who had not really experienced fighting against Orientals.
He had experienced that after a war with them, when the company commander called the roll, only he and a private soldier answered "present"! Although he did not believe that the Y people were as powerful as the Chinese, he was unwilling to accept failure again. He had to tirelessly make his strategic deployment deeply rooted in everyone's heart.
Only after every team had answered his question did he lean back comfortably in his seat. "Let's go back and prepare bath water and bread for them!" he said humorously.
Tiger first arrived at the southern jungle. The leaders of the southern combat team were Captain Chen and the warriors. They led the egg-biter, the clairvoyant, and 40 soldiers from Country Y. As soon as he entered the southern area, he was stopped by a bamboo thorn that fell from the sky, and then the warrior's head was hung from the tree: "Tiger, you can't enter."
Tiger stared at him fiercely: "Are you the commander, or am I the commander?"
"I am, I am here! So, your entry must be approved by me!"
Tiger smiled: "That makes sense!" He stood at attention and said: "Comrade Commander, your superiors want to enter your combat area, please agree!"
"No!" The warrior shook his head firmly.
"Why?" Tiger glared and then moved closer. "I'm just taking a look. I promise I won't go to the front! You know, I need to master the current M Army's tactics."
The warrior nodded: "But the bamboo thorns are a line that each of us buried last night, so the whole jungle is full of bamboo thorns. Everyone advances and retreats along his own battle route. Which one are you going to take? There is no road for you to take!"
"Humph!" Tiger sneered and turned back suddenly, "Come out!"
Li Ying and Gong Yangzi came out.
"Gong Yangzi, do you have any solution?"
Gong Yangzi thought for a moment and said, "Tiger, do you have any?"
Tiger nodded: "Captain Li, you don't have to go. Gongyangzi, let me lend you my sheep whip!"
The warrior exclaimed, "You want to walk on trees?"
Before the warrior could say anything, the tiger had already climbed up the tree. The whip was his outstretched arm, which allowed him to move freely in the tree.
"Wow, good skills!" Li Ying's voice sounded behind him, and she actually followed.
The tiger tightened his whip on the tree, and saw Li Ying swinging from one tree to another like a monkey. He nodded and said, "What a great guerrilla leader!"
He decided not to go any further, so he stopped at a tree and climbed higher up.
The helicopters of the M Army stopped bombing and strafing. The special forces of the M Army quickly dispersed as soon as they landed, and occupied their positions in an orderly manner according to the deployment. Every special force soldier was armed to every part of his body. He wore a non-reflective helmet on his head, his face was painted with jungle-like green as the base color, he wore a military uniform with the color of a jungle monitor lizard, a bulletproof vest covering his chest and abdomen, and tough jungle combat boots on his feet.
The weapons were hand grenades that could deal with tanks, sharp sawtooth daggers that could cut and stab, M-series bullets draped over them, and the most advanced M16A2 assault rifles in the M-series that could be used as rapid-fire machine guns or single-shot sniper rifles. Some in the group were equipped with M21 7.62mm sniper rifles, some with M203 40mm grenade launchers, and others with M60 light machine guns, AT4 84mm anti-tank rockets, etc. Flamethrowers were also distributed to each team.
The duck-like voice of Major Lankao rang out from the walkie-talkie: "The search team that landed in the jungle should form a skirmish formation and slowly advance into the jungle, targeting Bamboo House No. 39. I will command the central forces to attack from all sides to support you. If you find the Y Army, you should immediately stop advancing and call in helicopter firepower to destroy the target. The first wave of attack is a test attack!"
Captain Krako shouted, "Yes!" Putting down the receiver, he shouted, "Both the old duck and the old woman have reached menopause!"
The soldiers all laughed. Bu Mei was less than 40 years old, and Major Lankao was also less than 40 years old. But these young American soldiers called them an old woman and an old duck. They thought American weapons were the best in the world, American national strength was the best in the world, and American soldiers were the best trained in the world. They thought they were also the best in the world, and they even cursed: "Just blow this place up! Damn it, why do you want us to go!"
So they laughed at their superiors for giving them such careful instructions, as if the enemy was very powerful.
"Okay! I order, forward!" Captain Krako, who graduated from a military academy, made a standard attack gesture.
The special forces of Country M stepped into the jungle step by step according to the postures in the manual.
The jungle was surprisingly quiet, the sun shone in, the air was clean and transparent, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder.
One step, two steps... everything is still so quiet.
Captain Krako also entered the jungle and whispered in his deep baritone: "Stay alert!"
The vanguard has advanced more than ten meters into the jungle.
Suddenly, the front-most scout screamed in pain, his legs went limp, and he rolled to the ground, followed by a series of even more miserable screams. The soldiers quickly hid behind the nearby bushes.
The rescue soldiers rushed forward, but as soon as they got close, they also let out a scream, their legs went weak, and they rolled to the ground, followed by even more miserable screams.
Captain Krako cursed loudly, he realized that he had been hit by the bamboo thorns of the Y countrymen.
These bamboo thorns are made of hard bamboos that are sharpened to a point. The tip is sharper than a bayonet. They are buried underground and covered by grass or soil. They cannot be found while marching. If you step on them, even your leather boots will be pierced. If you fall down, you will be stabbed again. Moreover, most of these thorns are soaked in poisonous snake venom (of course, Tiger and his men have not had time to use the venom yet). Many American troops have suffered this loss, but they did not expect that they would encounter it now.
He ordered the soldiers to walk on tiptoe and saved the two unfortunate soldiers.
"Listen, this is an outdated cold weapon, it won't be fatal. Everyone can walk on tiptoe! Keep moving forward!"
The soldier became more cautious, hunched over and groping forward like a woman with bound feet.
"Ah!" With a scream, a soldier suddenly disappeared from the ground.
Captain Krako rushed over and saw a hole in the ground. The soldier fell in and stopped shouting because he was pierced by the bamboo thorns below and turned into a hedgehog. "Pah!" There was a light sound, and a bullet was shot from somewhere in the dense jungle. The soldier next to Major Lankao fell to the ground without a grunt. Krako roared.
A soldier came up with a flamethrower. "Burn it!" Lankao ordered loudly.
Two balls of fire came out of two flamethrowers, and the trees in front were immediately set on fire, and thick smoke rose above the jungle.
Krako shouted even louder: "Helicopter, attack the place where there is smoke!" The helicopter swooped down immediately, and Lankao and his men retreated quickly.
Having reached this direction, Captain Krako's four Cobra attack helicopters fired rockets and machine guns repeatedly at the place where the smoke was rising. Tree trunks were broken one by one, and the grass and trees struggled painfully in the rain of bullets. When Krako and his men came up again, the entire jungle was full of charred trees, and the pungent smoke replaced the smell of the jungle.
Major Lankao was very angry about the casualty data reported by each team: "Gentlemen, I want to hear the number of people from Country Y that you have annihilated. To fight against these barbarians, you must make full use of the modern weapons you have! Use the helicopters, carry the helicopters on your backs, they fight in the sky, and you fight on the ground! Each team should keep a helicopter to follow up, shooting and bombing!" He said loudly, still not satisfied, and continued to curse: "I asked you to fight wild beasts, do you think you can fight those barbaric guys with your bare hands? You just need to stuff your bullet into his throat, idiot!"
Tiger climbed higher in the tree and watched through binoculars. Obviously, the M army had practiced this kind of ground and air coordination. Every twenty meters the M army advanced, they fired once with weapons and once with helicopters. The places they passed were turned into a sea of fire.
Tiger picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Attention, all combat teams! I order: machine guns, submachine guns, snipers, all are allowed to fire only one burst and retreat immediately. We have a wide jungle, we don't want to wipe out the enemy in one go, we just want to consume the enemy. We have to do it bit by bit like an ant chewing an elephant!"
Li Ying looked up at the tiger and smiled: "Ants gnawing on elephants, I understand."
Tiger pulled out the sniper rifle from his back and pointed it at the M soldier: "How many meters do you think it is from here?"
Li Ying also climbed up nimbly: "About 800 meters!" Then she looked at Lao Hu's gun: "Lao Hu, you are the leader, why are you carrying a long gun?"
"It feels so good to kill the enemy!" Tiger took a deep breath, aimed, and fired in one go.
A special forces soldier from the M Army pounced down at once.
Tiger twisted his neck: "This is a special gun I made ten years ago. This is the first time I've drunk the enemy's blood!" He took a deep breath again, aimed, and shot, ignoring Li Ying's clapping, "Retreat!"
"Why? How did the M Army know to attack from such a far distance?"
"That's an order!" the tiger shouted softly and sternly.
