The tropical rainforest in Southeast Asia is a very interesting area. It has high humidity and high temperature. Even in spring and autumn, you don't feel the dryness that you should have in the north.
But this does not mean that the woods here cannot be ignited. On the contrary, there are some woods here that are extremely easy to catch fire...
For example, there are two hills on the edge of the Erdaowan River.
Almost all children in Meng Neng know one thing, that is, the leaves that pave roads in the mountains become stickier and softer, making it harder to go deeper.
The fallen leaves in the woods have not been cleaned all year round, and due to the influence of the surrounding environment, they are easy to rot. When these things rot and are covered by new fallen leaves, methane will be formed.
In the past, the villages around Menneng used to look for forests like this to light fires. After the fire burned out, the dark mountains under the mountains were very suitable for planting land, because the nutrients were all left in the soil. This was called slash-and-burn cultivation.
Before Yang Rong put his battalion into the river, he had already carefully explored the surrounding woods, and even smelled a faint smell in the woods...
Normally, Yang Rong might not care about this smell, but after Burea left, in order to ensure that no loopholes would be found around the troops when the enemy attacked, he specifically checked the source of the odor in the forest, especially The moment the smelly leaves were lifted up and the rotten sticky substance turned up along with the leaves, Yang Rong's eyes completely lit up!
Others were just bent over and retching, but what Yang Rong saw was an opportunity!
Under the cover of leaves in this place, a natural rotting pool has been formed. The rotting pool is constantly emitting smelly gases accompanied by high and humid temperatures...
"Prepare!"
On the hillside behind Erdaowan, several green soldiers held kettles and collectively lit the narrow strip of cloth stuffed on the mouth of the kettle. The water inside was not water, but gasoline specially obtained from armored vehicles.
call!
When the cloth strips were lit, the battalion commander's voice came again: "Throw it!"
Uh-huh! !
Several kettles were thrown from a high place to the opposite hilltop. They were thrown from high to low in order to throw them farther. Marching kettles were used to hold gasoline in order to throw them further. In this way, the kettles would be thrown farther. It can easily cross the distance between two mountains and be thrown from one mountain into the forest of another mountain...
Immediately afterwards...
Several kettles poured out gasoline with the shock of falling to the ground. The burning cloth followed the gasoline and ignited the dead leaves in the forest. The next second...
boom!
A sound slightly smaller than the explosion, but with a definite ignition effect, sounded in the forest in the main film. At that time, every greenskin soldier in Erdaowan seemed to hear the sound of burning. Yes, the marsh gas was ignited. Even if there is no large-scale explosion, there is still sound.
Yang Rong was surprised when he saw the flames appearing in the forest. The special blue color made it impossible to associate it with fire, and the rapidly rising burning pattern was unpredictable, as if a devil had used a magic circle to summon it. The fire of hell began to burn crazily in the mountains and forests.
The marsh gas ignited the dead branches and dry leaves in the forest. The high temperature at noon forced the resin from the trees to become a combustion accelerant. The entire forest went from blue flames jumping all over the place to red fire when the resin was covered with resin, almost The conversion is completed in the blink of an eye.
"fire!"
"on fire!"
The moment the flames were ignited, the Eastern Shan State Army turned around and ran away. They kept trampling on the soft leaves under their feet. Each step brought out a burst of blue fire. Many people were caught by this flame. His ankles fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
There is more than one rotting pond like this in the mountains. They are all retting out leaves. This thing has been covered by high temperatures during the day and moisture at night and breeds countless bacteria, which is why so much methane is created.
The running of the Eastern Shan State Army broke the balance under the layers of leaves, exposing the gaps in the layers of leaves. Immediately after the methane gas rose under their feet, with the help of burning resin and dry branches, The dead leaves were set alight again.
"Teacher, something is wrong, isn't it? How come the whole mountain is on fire in just such a short time!"
The first battalion commander was frightened by the fire. He looked at the red and blue flames boiling on the mountain, and the whole mountain had a dynamic effect. It was a feeling that ordinary people could not withstand.
But this thing doesn’t feel right at all!
Many of the mountains here have been untouched for decades. Over time, dry branches and dead leaves have fallen all over the ground, not to mention the resin on the trees. These things cannot stick to fire, let alone deliberately set fire. ?
Over the past few decades, the fallen leaves that have fallen all over the mountain have been exposed to the sun over time and soaked in dew night after night. How can it be better?
The flames began to climb up the mountain along with the burned dead grass and branches. In almost a blink of an eye, the entire mountain was completely ignited into a huge torch, burning with raging fire.
"ah!!!"
In the fire scene on the mountain, an Eastern Shan State soldier was ignited and rushed out. The hair on his head caught fire as soon as it was touched by sparks. He ran wildly in panic as if someone was running ahead and being chased by fire. In the end, maybe because he was too hot, the boy went underground and started to roll down the hillside, directly out of the flames.
Damn!
The tragic scene of his burning body made the battalion commander unable to bear it any longer. As soon as he saw the man rolling down, he immediately shot and ended his life.
The next second, another mountain next to Erdao Bay also burned. The same blue flames jumped upward, the same red fire burned the trees, and the same screams were heard frequently in the mountains and forests.
Neither of the two groups Lin Minxian ordered to go up the mountain could gain a foothold. Whether they were occupying the commanding heights or looking for places to set up artillery positions, they were all swallowed up in the flames.
In this case, the Eastern Shan soldiers who went up the mountain could not even run away. The fire did not burn according to the position of the trees, but wherever the sparks splashed, the methane gas there would escalate the sparks into leaping fires. Teng Lieyan, this blue flame will ignite the dead branches on the top of the trees, causing an open space not covered by flames to be immediately surrounded by a sea of fire, and even the surrounding temperature will increase accordingly.
When you lift your nose and smell it, you can smell the smell of burnt meat...
And, the screams filled my ears.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"
"ah!!!"
Yes, there is only this sound. At this time, no one is thinking about language issues anymore. Being able to shout out to relieve the pain has become a gift from God.
At noon, there were already many plumes of steaming black smoke rising from the two mountains. Looking from a distance, there were still sparkling lights... (End of this chapter)
