Chapter 447 The beauty on the edge of the battlefield

Genius website address

At noon on July 7, two patrol teams entered the dense forest on the east side of the camp one after another, facing the scorching sun, at a distance of forty or fifty meters from each other.

Although they are called patrol teams, in fact, perhaps they are called "sweeping teams" which is more realistic. Because they were not the only two classes who followed him into the forest at the same time. What they have to do is to clean up as much as possible all the places around the camp that look like they might be hiding people.

In addition to the tension and freshness at the beginning, things later became more and more boring. In Wei Ran's case, in addition to dealing with the leech that got into his collar to suck blood from time to time, he , the only thing to do was to stand from a distance and watch the soldiers shoot randomly at the tree crowns where people might be hiding, as if they were out hunting.

Just as Wei Ran expected, this job is obviously much easier than working in the operating room. The most intuitive manifestation is that besides helping an unlucky guy who accidentally tripped, Apart from the broken front teeth, the medical kit was basically untouched.

For a whole afternoon, although these steady engineer patrols only advanced no more than a hundred meters deep into the forest, they were completely cleared behind them. Not only those who seemed to be able to hide people The entrance to the cave was blown down, and even some felled trees were dragged back by tractors and turned into raw materials for building barracks or sentry towers.

As for the rest, it was ignited by several engineers headed by Marshall operating flamethrowers, completely eliminating the possibility of being used as a bunker.

Of course, you also have to appreciate Marshall pointing the flamethrower at caves of all sizes to create fireballs, and then the engineers following behind throw pieces of TNT into them and press the detonator.

Occasionally they did encounter hidden nuclear recruiters, and the ferocious firepower of these Seabee battalion engineers would not cause them to cause much trouble at all.

Behind them, the black engineers were also diligently operating chain saws, cutting off the tall tropical trees at random intervals, clearing the field of view for the firepower points recently set up on the edge of the camp. .

After walking around several tents, they saw in the open space between several tents for the wounded, Tom, wearing a priest's robe, was playing a guitar beside a small campfire. Randy next to him was playing harmonica accompaniment, while Will, the black man between the two of them, was sitting on an oil pan lying horizontally, singing a cheerful song.

"I'm starting to envy these three bastards. They're not here to fight, they're just here for vacation." Marshall, still holding the plate in his hand, muttered as he ate.

“I even wonder if they formed a band without telling us”

After a busy day’s work, I was sweating profusely The patrol members returned to the camp and first went to the seawater pool created by the beachhead engineers with bulldozers to soak off the clothes hanging on them.Leech and Sweat then took a bath each, and then returned to their respective tents talking and laughing.

However, when Wei Ran and Marshall each walked into the tent with a piece of dinner, they found that neither Tom, Randy, nor Will were there, and the wounded were not far away. From the direction of the tent, music and singing came.

Looking at each other, Wei Ran put down the dinner he had not yet had time to enjoy, picked up the camera on the bedside, and followed the sound in tandem with Marshall.

This is a perfect match /p>

Hang the camera around his neck, Wei Ran walked back to their tent, picked up the lunch box he had just put down, and returned to Marshall's side. He followed the other man's example and sat on his helmet while eating. While enjoying the performance of the "God Band" composed of three wounded people in the distance.

However, neither Wei Ran nor Marshall, nor the wounded in the distance, nor the patrols responsible for night vigilance at the edge of the camp, noticed that they were just at the edge of the forest that had been cleared during the day. , there were four or five sneaky figures creeping cautiously close to a cave that had been burned by Marshall with a flamethrower.

As Wei Ran spoke, he had already raised his camera, taking the three people under the setting sun, the beating bonfire, and the wounded and wounded tents around them into the frame as much as possible.

With the sound of the shutter masked by the singing, Weiran quietly recorded these beautiful moments on the edge of the battlefield. Marshall also rarely made fun of the three guys who believed in God, nor did he respond to what Wei Ran had just said. Instead, he took off the helmet on his head and threw it away, then sat down on it, eating dinner and listening. Will's singing voice completely lost the indifference he had when he was manipulating the flamethrower at the edge of the camp.

Seeing this, Wei Ran silently took a few steps back and changed his angle, looking at Marshall who was holding a spoon to put food into his mouth, the bonfire band in the distance, and further away, already The setting sun, which sunk most of his body under the sea, was included in the viewfinder and he pressed the shutter again.

There was no need to communicate at all. One of the Japanese soldiers, who looked the thinnest, immediately took the flashlight handed by his companion and climbed in. The remaining few moved their bodies in a tacit understanding, blocking the narrow opening with their backs, and then used dry banana leaves to block the front and top of their heads to prevent the flashlight's light from being exposed and causing them death.

In the cave that was filled with the smell of burning, the Japanese soldier who struggled to get in couldn't help but let out an exclamation the moment he turned on the flashlight.

Because right in front of it, there was a burnt corpse lying. The hollow eye sockets of this corpse were only less than half a meter away from its eyes.

This cave with a small entrance has completely collapsed after being blasted by engineers, but these figures did not give up., but crawled around the entrance of the cave, carefully pried up the large and small gravels with the help of the bayonet in his hand, and moved them away one by one.

Whenever the searchlights at the edge of the camp swept over, the defeated soldiers with dried banana leaves tied to their bodies immediately stopped what they were doing. Until the beam moves away, start digging again immediately.

As they worked almost all night long, the collapsed cave entrance was finally dug into a gap that was barely enough for people to get in, and at the same time, a rich and unique smell of burnt animal protein was released. Smell.

As it goes deeper, after turning two corners in succession, it can gradually squat and move forward, bending down, and finally stand upright, which is not a very tall body.

Up to this time, the corpses in the cave no longer had many signs of burning, but without exception, they all had their throats stuck with their hands, and there were even a few with bayonets stuck in their abdomens. , or pointing the muzzles of rifles at each other at their companions.

But the thin Japanese soldier couldn't care less about his sadness at this time, and there was even a hint of surprise on his face. It hurriedly ran to a corpse, reached out and took off the kettle with a hint of warmth from the other person's waist.

Hearing the low voice yelling from behind, the Japanese soldier suppressed the panic in his heart and used the light of the flashlight to carefully move away the rubble and charred corpses blocking the road, little by little. Climbed deep into the cave.

While crawling along, it could see a charred corpse every now and then. Although these corpses had been burned beyond recognition by the high temperature, it could still distinguish them from some small details. identity.

Reaching out his hand to wipe away the tears that overflowed from the corner of his eyes, this thin Japanese soldier didn't care that the scorched hands were rubbing on his face, because he had more important things to do now.

But whether it was the woman or the child in her arms, all of them had stopped breathing without exception.

Moving the flashlight beam away from the woman's face, the thin Japanese soldier opened several connected wooden boxes as quickly as possible and took out several cans and bullets from them. Stuffed into bag.

However, just when it was about to leave, it took out a few canned meats from the bag and put them back into the box. Then, it carried the woman's body up and turned to another box. I took out a can of rice and threw it into my bag.

The slight warmth made him shiver subconsciously, but soon, he hurriedly unscrewed the lid of the pot, put it to his mouth and drank it.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, the Japanese soldier looked around, hurriedly opened his withered backpack, and stuffed all the edible things found on the corpses around him as well as the kettles still filled with water. Go in.

Looking behind it, it hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward with a flashlight, and then saw several wooden boxes containing cans and a suitcase.A woman wearing a kimono and leaning in the corner with a little boy in her arms.

Immediately afterwards, it searched for the surrounding corpses and successfully found a southern pistol. After checking the magazine to make sure there were still bullets in it, the Japanese soldier stuffed it into his arms, then picked up a rifle with a scope and a few grenades, and then turned around and left the cave.

A moment later, when it struggled to send out the backpack full of food and ammunition, the sniper rifle and grenades, the Japs who had just been responsible for blocking the hole took out a pistol, pointed it at it and said Something, and the other Japanese guy next to him opened his backpack as quickly as possible.

The Japanese soldier, who was still mostly in the cave, opened his mouth honestly after hearing this, and allowed his companion with the gun to come to his mouth and smell it until he confirmed that there was no rice or canned food in his mouth. After smelling the smell, he pulled him out and asked something again.

The thin Japanese soldier pointed at the opened backpack and shook his head, with a hint of disguised disappointment appearing on his face covered in black stains.

The Japanese soldier holding the pistol cursed secretly, and after the searchlight beam swept across it again, he immediately directed the rest of the people to block the entrance of the cave with stones again, and then crawled towards the forest in the distance. . chatere, please remember:, free and fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft
