"The weather has been good in the past few days, today is the thirteenth day into the jungle, it seems that I still believe too much in my own ability, and another supplementary soldier died of accidental food poisoning, counting this, 7 people have been killed in the team. Before they even got out of the jungle and exchanged fire with the Japanese army, 7 people had already died, and there was already panic among the other reinforcements, and if this continued, I think I might not be able to control these reinforcements. Tang Cheng finished writing the last stroke, and put the hardcover book and pen into his jacket pocket.

It was the thirteenth day since he left Ledo, and Tang Cheng's hardcover book had already written thirteen diaries, writing a diary was not Tang Cheng's habit, this was specially requested by Mike when he left Ledo, and even the crust book and pen were given by Mike. In order to keep it secret, Tang Cheng led the team to leave Ledo in the middle of the night, and two truckloads of reinforcements urgently transferred from Ramgarh were used to pretend that Tang Cheng and they stayed in the camp to continue training, and people who were not familiar with the inside story did not know that Tang Cheng and their 400 people had already entered the Savage Mountain at night.

Maybe Tang Cheng imagined everything too beautifully, and from the moment he stepped into Savage Mountain, trouble kept finding them. On the third day of entering the jungle, a supplementary soldier who did not listen to advice relieved himself in the middle of the night, but accidentally entered the belly of the python, and when Tang Cheng opened the belly of the python, the supplementary soldier who was swallowed by the python was already out of breath. Mud, poisonous snakes, and locusts, these guardians in the jungle of Savage Mountain have come to Tang Cheng in turn to find them trouble, and today is the thirteenth day after entering the jungle, Tang Cheng has lost 7 of his subordinates.

The originally ambitious recruits had long since lost the sharpness they had when they first entered the jungle of Savage Mountain, and they all looked weak when they walked in the twilight, and the food that was about to bottom out made the recruits even have a bad thought, are they going to starve to death in this jungle? Tang Cheng was no longer able to urge these reinforcements to speed up, and the speed of the troops' march had dropped from 40 kilometers per day at the beginning to 20 kilometers now, and if they entered the jungle in the rainy season, Tang Cheng was worried that these reinforcements might not even be able to walk 5 kilometers all day.

"There is nothing to do, keep going, now you can only keep walking, or you will starve to death in the woods." was asked by the worried Hou San what to do, but Tang Cheng's answer was still stubborn, at least the one hundred and ten defeated soldiers could still support it. The dense rainforest made Tang Cheng feel the crisis for the first time, and regardless of the panicked reinforcements behind him, he was worried that more than half of these reinforcements generally lacked experience, training, and equipment to fight in the jungle and mountains.

On the first day of entering the Savage Mountain, Tang Cheng issued a puzzling order: All officers and men are not allowed to drink unboiled water, they must wash their hands before eating, they are not allowed to eat any wild fruits and vegetables outside of the second meal, and the wild fruits and vegetables must be sent to the logistics of each company for identification and classification, and violators will be punished by military law.

However, Tang Cheng still underestimated the power of the rainforest, and on the sixth day of entering the jungle, one of the two radio stations of the company was damaged by moisture. What does radio mean in this vast primeval jungle where it is difficult to find directions? In order to avoid impetuousness, this news has been tightly sealed by Tang City.

A drizzle before the afternoon brought a rare touch of coolness to Tang Cheng who was walking through the tropical jungle, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping, as if the sky was leaking, not raining, but splashing water, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to order the troops to rest in place. The high-intensity march and the shrinking rations of the reinforcements had tormented the replenishment, who would be leaning together in groups to keep each other warm.

After Tang Cheng stepped on the muddy water and dragged heavy steps to check around, when he returned, he found that Hou San had already led someone to build a shed out of banana leaves. Tang Cheng silently looked at Hou San's busy back, and smiled helplessly, Hou San, who was already a platoon commander, was more like his adjutant commander many times, and took care of Tang Cheng's life.

"Hurry up and go into the shed, don't catch a cold, this is what the military doctor specially advised." Hou Sanzheng instructed Liu Shishi and a few of them to build a shed, and suddenly found that Tang Cheng, who was soaking wet, was standing behind him, and hurriedly urged Tang Cheng to go into the shed to take shelter from the rain. Hou San's words reminded Tang Cheng that the supplementary soldiers were not well adapted to the jungle, and I was afraid that many soldiers would suffer from colds after this heavy rain. In such a primeval jungle, a small cold is very easy to cause various complications, and once you fall ill, it is equivalent to a death sentence.

Tang Cheng looked around and was about to ask the military doctor to find some way to ward off the cold, and when he was thinking about looking for a military doctor, Liu Shishi brought a few steaming lunch boxes from a low shack. Tang Cheng looked at the lunch box handed to him by Liu Shishi in confusion, and Liu Shishi explained: "This is the ginger soup that the military doctor organized people to boil, which is used to keep everyone warm. ”

The lunch box covered with a banana leaf brought Tang Cheng a trace of warmth, and after feeling the warmth for a moment, Tang Cheng handed the jar back to Liu Shishi, "Pass my order, the soldiers drink first, and the officers last." Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then turned his eyes to Hou San, Hou San glanced at Tang Cheng's already pale lips and resolute expression, and could only nod at Liu Shi secretly.

After learning that all the soldiers had drunk hot ginger water, Tang Cheng finally took a vat of boiling hot ginger water from Liu Shishi's hand, and as a stream of heat flowed down his stomach, a trace of ruddy appeared on Tang Cheng's pale lips. Finally, waiting for the rain to clear up, Tang Cheng did not give the order to set off immediately, but gathered his cronies to gather in the mud of the shack gun for a meeting.

Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, and there is not much of the supplies they carry, but no one knows how long the road ahead will be. "Our supplies are already insufficient, if I say no, the supply will be halved, and then get some wild vegetables or something, didn't we live like this when we first walked in the woods, and I didn't see anyone starve to death." The muttering of the dice to himself happened to be heard clearly by Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng was slightly stunned at first, then looked at Hou San beside him and looked at him, and hesitated to ask Tan Fei, who was in charge of logistics and supplies, "How long will our supplies be enough to eat?" "The amount of grain stored is now the top secret of the national army detachment, and the actual figure is known to no one other except for Tan Fei and the two defeated soldiers. Knowing that those guys who didn't make it to the meeting were secretly looking at this side from a distance, Tan Fei could only smile and tell him that the existing supplies in Tang City were enough for everyone to last for ten days.

Tang Cheng is not a fool, he naturally knows that Tan Fei's words are uncountable, and quietly looks at Tan Fei's very vague gesture, Tang Cheng was shocked, the so-called ten days of this product is just the standard of one meal a day. Looking at the look that Tan Fei gave him, Tang Cheng immediately understood Tan Fei's intentions, and the most important thing was to appease the army's heart at the moment. However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the remaining little food will be exhausted in three days at most according to the current standard.

Wiping a handful of the rain from his face, Tang Cheng calmed down, although the supplies were not enough, but they had also walked through the jungle for thirteen days, and the speed of their march was much faster than when they were crossing the jungle at that time. According to the map, Tang Cheng deduced that according to the direction and speed of the troops' advance, it would probably take another week or so at most to get out of this primeval forest and reach the red land that he had locked. Now there is a shortage of four days' provisions, if the current three meals a day are changed to two meals, at most it is two days of provisions, and a top of wild vegetables and plantain roots or something, maybe you can get out of the forest.

After unifying Hou San's opinions, Tang Cheng gathered all the soldiers together and directly said what was left of the troops' provisions. The replenishment soldiers were naturally in an uproar, but under the vigorous suppression of the hundred and ten defeated soldiers, the uproar of the replenishment soldiers did not last long and was silent. "I know you're working hard, but we have to keep going, or we'll starve here. From today onwards, three meals will be changed to two meals, and wild vegetables and plantain roots must be added to both meals to fill our stomachs, and it would be even better if we could hit wild animals. ”

Tang Cheng's order was mandatory, although many of the reinforcements were still not very happy, but they all knew that this might be the best way, if all the supplies were consumed and only wild vegetables or something were eaten, they didn't know how many of them would survive. Then on the road, the ambulances of each platoon became the fragrant bait of the soldiers, and what was edible in the jungle, and then these ambulances knew that the soldiers who could fill their stomachs did not want to be poisoned in the forest by the wild vegetables they found.

"I guess if it goes on like this, the little supplies we have left are enough for half a month, and you don't see the patience of those guys when they are looking for wild vegetables." Dinner was canned meat stewed wild vegetables, of course, it could not be two or three people eating a box of canned food, but two boxes of canned food were placed in a whole marching pot, and the people who ate were a small team. The firehead soldiers of each squad had already received Tan Fei's notice that they wanted to save canned food, even if it was to distribute an extra biscuit to the diners, they also had to save the amount of canned food.

Tang Cheng rummaged through his lunch box with a spoon, and only found a thumb-sized piece of canned meat, and immediately made no noise, just soaked his biscuit in the wild vegetable soup, snorted and drank it cleanly. "You're right, if you continue like this, the rest of the provisions will be enough for half a month's consumption." Tang Cheng added some boiling water to the lunch box and took a sip, "I just found out now that Dare Dice is not the most calculating person among us, you kid is much more cunning than him." ”
