Chapter 551 Wild Fruits
Mr. Du snorted arrogantly.
"Don't worry, even if we encounter the devils again, we can kill them! Since you are not happy about it, don't regret it!"
After saying that, Du Shao glared at Xiao Sichuan and Tietou fiercely, then turned around and shouted at the two soldiers to take the lead.
At this time, Yuan Shuai had eight people, with a total of 8 Type rifles.
But here, Master Du had 18 guns, including two Type rifles and several pistols.
The pistols were captured by members of the Japanese machine gun team.
Du Shao's firepower is obviously more than twice that of Yuan Shuai.
Even if they encountered a small group of Japanese devils, they could use the weapons in their hands to kill them and obtain food and water.
No need to look at Yuan Shuai's face anymore.
Looking at the dozen or so guns and Type 99 light machine guns in front of them, Xiao Sichuan and Tietou gritted their teeth expressionlessly.
Of course they know that Du Shao has more people and more guns now.
But in war, you can't necessarily win just by having more people and more guns.
For example, in the Northeast, Songhu, and many other battlefields, their national army did have more people and more guns.
But even so, what can we do? We will still lose again and again.
In other words, having more people and more guns is certainly a good thing, but having more people and more guns does not necessarily mean that we will win the battle.
The key lies in the commander.
And they gave up Du Shao and chose Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai still led his men at the back to cover their retreat.
Du Shao and his companions ate some food and drank some water. After resting for a while, they recovered a lot of their strength. In order to hurry up, or perhaps to get rid of Yuan Shuai and let Yuan Shuai cover them from behind, Du Shao kept calling on the team to speed up.
But Yuan Shuai didn't follow too closely.
Soon, Yuan Shuai and others were left far behind.
"Boss, we are lagging far behind, why don't we speed up!"
"It's almost dark, don't let them dump you when it's dark!"
Xiao Sichuan and Tietou urged anxiously.
At this point, they were no longer just soldiers.
In order to take care of them, Yuan Shuai put the two of them in the middle.
This made the two of them very grateful.
However, the sun has already set and it will soon be dark.
If you can't keep up with the person in front of you, you might get lost.
Yuan Shuai spoke while glancing around.
"How long can we last with our current rations?"
Xiao Sichu and Tietou looked at each other in shock without saying a word, but each reached into their pockets for the Japanese canned food.
Each of them had only one can of food left, which meant that after eating dinner, they would have no breakfast for tomorrow.
Yuan Shuai continued speaking as he walked.
"Now they have more people and more guns. If they point guns at us at night and ask us to hand over the cans, would you dare not hand them over?"
Xiao Sichuan and Tietou were speechless again, and even put their hands into their pockets, wanting to eat the can first.
When there is no canned food left, there will be no point in making love.
"Keep it. There must be wild fruits to eat in this primitive jungle. Take advantage of it before it gets dark... I saw it. Damn it, there really is some. Over here!"
Yuan Shuai was so excited when he saw the trees not far away that he hurried away.
After a while, the group arrived under some big trees.
The trees are laden with fruits.
Because Du Shao and the others were only focused on running forward, they didn't look up at the sky and didn't notice these things.
"What the hell is this?"
Xiao Sichuan and Tietou looked at the round thing hanging on the tree above their heads in astonishment, swallowing their saliva continuously.
"Hahaha, it's a coconut, good stuff, it quenches your thirst and fills you up! I'll go get it!"
The bobcat put his rifle on his back and climbed up the tree.
The movement was like that of a wild cat in the mountains. In a short while, it climbed up the tree and knocked down the coconuts on the tree.
“There’s jackfruit over there!”
"There are some good things over there!"
Yuan Shuai was surveying the surrounding situation while whispering excitedly.
There are many coconuts, jackfruits and even durian around here.
It's October and almost November.
There is no one collecting fruits in this primitive jungle. These wild coconut, jackfruit and durian trees are all very large and the fruits they bear are also very large.
"Damn, what the hell is this? It stinks so badly!"
Smelling the scent of durian and jackfruit, Xiao Sichuan and Tietou covered their noses and mouths.
"Damn, this is really good stuff. People say that eating a durian is like eating an old hen. You're still looking down on it, so just forget it!"
Yuan Shuai used a bayonet to cut open the durian shell, took out the durian inside, and shared it with his teammates.
Little Sweet Potato and Mountain Cat are both from the Wolf Soldiers, so of course they have been eaten before, but it was the first time for the others to eat them.
Several people didn't want to eat at first, but after hearing what Yuan Shuai said, they pinched their noses and started eating.
"Hmm, it smells good. It smells bad but tastes good. This is my first time eating this and I have to pinch my nose while eating it!"
"Hahaha! And there's more. Hurry up and eat. Eat jackfruit and durian as meals, and drink coconut as wine!"
"Oh my god, you know what, this environment is pretty good, I can't even get this kind of food in China, it seems like going abroad is the right decision!"
"Boss, let's make some more tomorrow, it's so delicious!"
All the brothers gradually got used to the taste of jackfruit and durian, and they all enjoyed eating them.
When it was getting dark, Yuan Shuai did not continue running forward, but asked his brothers to find a few big trees. After climbing up, they lay on the trees and slept with their eyes closed.
The trees in this primitive jungle are so huge that some of the branches are as big as a human belly. You can lie on the branches and tie yourself up with things so that you are not afraid of falling down even if you fall asleep.
However, General Yuan still arranged people to be on duty and keep watch to prevent the Japanese from launching a sneak attack.
Perhaps because it was dark, the Japs did not continue to pursue us.
Du Shao in front had also found a valley to make a fire and rest.
But they had run out of food.
And when they rested here, they couldn't see any fruits.
It was pitch black all around, and they could only share the compressed biscuits collected from the corpses of the Japanese devils.
"Damn it, why haven't they come yet!"
"Is he going to get lost?"
"Oh, if only they came, we'd be short of canned food!"
"Go and see if they're here. Damn it! I'm starving!"
Many people are looking forward to Yuan Shuai and others coming over soon.
Because Yuan Shuai's people also brought eight cans of food.
And their canned food had been eaten up before.
They planned to wait for Yuan Shuai to come, force Yuan Shuai and others to hand over the cans with guns, and then share them among everyone.
But I didn't expect that no one would show up after waiting for a long time.
These people were so hungry and tired that they curled up and closed their eyes...
At dawn the next day, Yuan Shuai opened his eyes and saw several pheasants passing by the tree.
Last night, when Xiao Digu was on duty, he ate a few jackfruits. The core of the jackfruit accidentally fell to the ground, and even some jackfruit residue fell to the ground.
These pheasants are following the smell to find food.
