Chapter 14 Whimsical
On the avenue 10 kilometers away from Anpei County, there is no one. Both sides of the road are almost completely blocked by green rainforests, and no one can see a distance of more than 100 meters.
The dense jungle is not a good place for war, but for animals, it is their most comfortable paradise.
The dry season in the rainforests really has a comfortable temperature. If it is in southern Vietnam, the weather will be too hot.
In the early morning, due to the moisturizing of dew in the rainforest, there is more moisture than during the day. Animals that are moving will seek a suitable sleep in their caves.
However, it is not suitable for king cobras to lie down on the day and go out at night. It uses other snakes as food, and it is irritable and will actively attack humans. It is the most comfortable wandering in the tropical rainforest. It has just eaten a silver ring snake and looks full of complacent. The black and white tail of the silver ring snake is still at his mouth.
That tail occasionally curls and shakes.
The king cobra doesn't care about these things. It is the king of snakes, and it is also a ferocious beast that most other creatures are afraid of. However, it soon encountered danger.
It was already alert to its stitch-shaped neck, and its slender forked tongue searched the area in front of it. The smell of "garlic realgar" is already very thin. But for snakes, when facing this smell, they still want to retreat. It is probably the memory passed down by their ancestors, and this smell is definitely a kind of evil faith to it.
Therefore, it is said that it is the most fiercer in the world, and immediately bent down and planned to disguise itself as a good baby and quickly leave this ominous place.
But, it's too late.
About 10 places in front of me, the ground like a green blanket suddenly changed a little, and then a tube slowly stretched out.
"puff"
After a light sound, a light representing extreme danger flashed.
The 4-meter-long king cobra suddenly rolled underground, and its body rolled underground like a knot. A few minutes later, the king of the snake that had just eaten a silver ring snake turned into a dead snake.
"Squad leader, your blowing arrows are so accurate. Such a big guy will lose his reaction without any reaction!"
"Hehe, attack, attack is all counted. This guy is enough for our class to have a good tooth sacrifice!"
Under the green camouflage net, someone whispered and joked in a low voice that even the birds around him would not scare away. Then, the raised ground moved with the green plants above it.
When it moved to the snake, it paused for a moment and then moved back, and the king cobra had completely lost its trace. Obviously, after a while, it became someone else's food.
The king cobra underground had become a standard dead snake at this time. If you look closely at its body, you will find that its small head was completely nailed to its jaw bones by a 3mm spiral steel nail.
Until his death, it didn't understand that it was just such a thing that could completely penetrate its head. Not only that, it could even make its small brain very accurately. Especially the speed of the blowing arrow was so perverted that it could not even avoid it.
In fact, how could it know? When training in the Yunnan guerrilla training camp, soldiers from the First Brigade of the Vietnam National Liberation Front were trained to almost no food supply in the jungle except for weapons and ammunition and several pieces of compressed dry food.
The tropical rainforest will provide enough food for these guys who are specifically active in the jungle. Among these foods, the most popular ones are nutritious and delicious snakes.
As for blowing arrows, as a close-range silent weapon that can hunt and hurt the enemy, these guerrillas are playing with each other.
The life of jungle guerrillas is not only the search for prey, but the combat seems to be the second and auxiliary. As long as they stay near major traffic arteries, all enemies will come to their doors.
At this time, there were still no people on the road. The jungles on both sides seemed to be as quiet as death, without any symbol of life. Even some birds appeared on the plants to look for edible insects.
Compared with the lurking training in the guerrilla training camp in Yunnan, the training in the tropical forest in Vietnam can be said to be a paradise. There are no ants that sting people at any time, nor are there any ants that can get into their clothes and bite people itchy and painful.
As for poisonous snakes or other small animals, they are just good food for these guerrillas who often feel hungry. Especially the 4-meter-long and quite fat king cobra I just met, it was really a big meal given by God.
If you look at these jungles carefully, you will find that under the plants are some fine camouflage nylon nets. Below are the soldiers of the "guerrilla brigade" of the Vietnam National Liberation Front.
In addition to the "Wolf-style universal machine gun", the other weapons used by the soldiers are just submachine guns, M-1 short assault rifles and their various miscellaneous items including crossbow arrows, blowing arrows, flying knives, etc., with special effects.
However, as soldiers of the guerrilla brigade, they like to use such a weapon the most.
The front end of the m-1 short assault rifle and submachine gun have a rocket that looks like a small rocket. The direct shooting distance of this rocket is not far, and the range of the rocket-propelled grenade with a diameter of 40 mm and 300 mm is about 300 meters.
As a guerrilla, he likes to use this weapon within 50 meters near the road. This kind of rocket is a very effective weapon whether against ordinary vehicles or armored vehicles.
At this time, the morning dewdrops had not completely dissipated. They were crystal clear, like extremely beautiful pearls, quietly moving on the grass leaves.
"Boom..."
The sound of engines coming from the highway, and the extremely penetrating tracks that make people's ears sore and itchy, were also heard from the road to the ears of guerrillas lurking in the jungle.
"Please note that the enemy's armored vehicles are discovered...the vehicle order is as follows...be careful to be concealed!"
On the high ground, the snipers, their camouflage made of noodles, made them look like a trunk on the big tree. Even if they look closely, it would be impossible to be discovered.
In this case, they could not inform their comrades of the situation with their voices, so they had to gesture to them who were lying under the ground. The guerrillas who were ambushing on the ground moved slightly and prepared to shoot the weapons in their hands.
Gradually, as the armored convoy approached, the vibration generated when the tracks under the heavy car body rolled over the ground was clearly transmitted to the nearby jungle.
The dewdrops on the grass leaves shook for a moment, and they began to slide towards the drooping tips of the grass leaves.
At this time, a squad of guerrilla brigade soldiers lying here, whether they were sniper teams on the tree or the combat teams on the ground, all stopped all their movements.

As for the French, they were already trying to produce their own tanks in accordance with the Grey Wolf tank model.
Although due to the employment pressure in France and the end of the war, a large number of skilled technicians, designers and engineers were poached to the Federation of China with considerable salaries, the old industrial country still has considerable strength to develop and develop the equipment needed by its own army.
In this case, what the French had to sigh was that their tank troops did not get many new tanks at this time. After all, the war had just ended, and no one of the members of the parliament did not care about increasing the equipment of the army again.
Therefore, in addition to using armored vehicles once produced by French Nancy, the French armored infantry that participated in the operation in Vietnam, they still mainly used the Mark 5, a whimsical tank.
This tank weighing 29-35 tons has a speed of only 15 kilometers per hour after using the new engine. The tank is 8.08 meters long, but its armor thickness is only 12-20 mm. Its weapons include 2 57 mm short-barrel cannons and machine guns.
The most whimsical thing that makes people feel is that these tanks can also carry another squad of infantry in addition to carrying 8 members.
This is not a mockery of the British. The British's vision of making war weapons during World War I was definitely the world's first-class. Otherwise, they would not be able to develop a weapon that completely changed the style of war - tanks.
During exploration, it is inevitable that we will go astray. This kind of tank carrying infantry is obviously a failed design like multi-turret tanks. However, the French did not have a choice. In 1916, they had already chosen British tanks. Since the MPs did not like new tanks, the transformation of old tanks naturally became the most helpless choice for the army.
The leading Mark 5 tank moved forward in the sound of roaring sound. The infantrymen in the tanks extended their rifles or submachine guns outside the temporary shooting ports on the cabin.
This is a helpless method. The guerrilla brigades on the "Vietnam National Liberation Front" are like a group of flies. They are scattered in a region, and their actions are gathered and dispersed, and they are simply unable to grasp them.
But it was these seemingly disorganized scattered soldiers who had caused great damage to the regular French troops.
As the main attacking French armored infantry division, every step forward, they faced attacks from the jungles on both sides that could occur at any time. However, in order to seize the main force of the "Vietnam National Liberation Front" armed forces that may appear in Anpei County, they had to risk a rapid advance.
