Shen Rusong's guess was good. After all, these low-end water-cooled armors had very narrow uses. Just like when Shen Rusong himself performs general combat missions, he also fights as light infantry. A standard infantryman of the Baath Army is equipped with a khaki or field green military uniform, a tactical helmet with a communication slot and a tactical chest rack. The chest is additionally equipped with a ceramic shield that has both bulletproof and anti-bite functions. In terms of firepower, bring a Type 75 traditional copper-cased rifle or a Type 80 caseless rifle, as well as three grenades or two long-handled grenades and two smoke grenades.
In addition, among the large arms of the infantry, only engineers and chemical defense troops have specialized standard equipment. The former is marked by thick water-cooled armor and automatic shotguns that shoot single-ended bullets, while the latter is heavy air-tight chemical defense. suit and flamethrower. All are equipment specialized for narrow terrain. Therefore, once placed on plains or hilly terrain, this kind of equipment will greatly hinder combat efficiency. For the forward reconnaissance team that Shen Rusong participated in, when clearing the nest, the equipment was changed based on nearby secret storage points and bunkers. When marching long distances, the lighter the weight, the better.
In Shen Rusong's knowledge, the more common equipment of barbarian warriors is patchwork fur sweaters and feathered ear protection hats, and their weapons are machetes, spears and other cold weapons made of metal relics from the old era. In terms of hot weapons, they basically come from old-fashioned weapons that flowed out of the National Defense Forces arsenal in the early years. A small number of them are also self-made guns made of high-quality steel pipes, ranging from crossbows to bows, to air guns, water pipe guns, etc. In the valley where we are now, savage warriors with unified weapons do not exist, but they are rare. Otherwise, the Renaissance Army would not scorn the savages as bandits or gangsters. If they were soldiers who were trained and armed with industrial assembly lines during the fight, I am afraid that the Renaissance Army would not regard prisoners as lambs to be slaughtered and kill them if they wanted. Dead.
While thinking about it, the movements of Shen Rusong's hands couldn't help but slow down. When the patrol foreman saw it, he reprimanded Shen Rusong as usual and gave Shen Rusong a kick. This didn't make Shen Rusong angry. To be honest, he had seen how the guards at Beiqin Base treated the savage prisoners. Just beat him up when he was happy, beat him up when he was unhappy, and throw him into a smelly prison without caring whether he would starve to death or have his brains brained out, or survive by eating shit and pissing on his farts. The guards were not interested at all. Because in the eyes of the base, it is a rare thing to bring back prisoners. Really valuable chiefs or tribal elders are sent to the Yanqi base.
According to the treatment at Beiqin, if the savage captives were lazy at work, they would most likely be beaten on the head and face with a rake by farm soldiers until they were about to die, or they would be tied to a tree and whipped with a water-soaked riding crop, and then left in the sun until nightfall. Or it could be the classic hanging, where you stand on tiptoe until you are satisfied. So Shen Rusong was only scolded instead of having a few teeth knocked out, which made him feel strange.
Considering everything that happened in the valley, Shen Rusong did not feel that he had been mistreated in good conscience. Although the rice was not very good and could not be said to be full, the quality was not bad. It was a kind of wheat porridge that tasted a bit harsh on the teeth and throat, and was mixed with some dried pickled vegetables. Medically, I performed surgery on myself, and the basic debridement, dressings, and splints were all in place. There were two interrogations, but there was no skin-cracking or cramping.
Think about it, are you doing well?
Although due to his consistent education of hatred, Shen Rusong naturally regarded this as a softening strategy, and Yevlina and other beautiful savage girls were also the formation of the honey trap. All these are aimed at making a valuable non-commissioned officer of the Renaissance Army rebel, not only in terms of propaganda, but also in terms of technology, which is what the savages who desperately lack decent officers need.
But there is a saying, if you live like a human being, you will naturally think like a human being, not a beast.
So Shen Rusong unconsciously realized that although the speed of assembling the water-cooled armor was inevitably slow, the quality was guaranteed to a certain extent, and the captured soldiers in old-fashioned military uniforms next to him had an attitude like an assembly line worker, looking smooth and polished.
When the foreman rang the work bell, a row of new and old prisoners filed out. The old prisoners deliberately slowed down and formed their own team. Later, among the rations distributed one by one by the foreman, the older batch was obviously more abundant and contained cigarettes. At first glance, it seems to be a cigarette with a filter tip?
"Damn it, the savages are giving them white birds? I'm willing to give them up."
The foreman even asked people if they wanted to smoke, and those who didn’t smoke could get an extra piece of dried meat. What Shen Rusong got was a piece of soft bark and a pinch of flue-cured tobacco, which he obviously rolled himself.
The quantity is not much, but if you are skilled in craftsmanship, you can roll one and a half. Shen Rusong's new batch of prisoners were all "rookies" who had served for at least one or two years. As soon as they received their military pay, they went to the black market and self-operated restaurants and bought cigarettes and alcohol without blinking an eye. Anyway, Shen Rusong himself sent half of his military salary home, and basically used the other half on the day of his salary. He was either borrowed by Gao Keming or dragged out to drink by Shao Gang. The meals for the squad, the meals for the 2nd and 3rd squadrons and the cavalry squadron, and occasionally the platoon leader, were all pure moonshine. Since this is the case, buying flue-cured cigarettes and rolling them yourself is a sign of people being disgusted with dogs and voluntarily giving up their "right to choose a spouse." According to Zhao Haiqiang, "For two cigarettes, the female soldiers regard me as a pauper. I won't do it." As for buying cheaper chewing tobacco and inferior tobacco from the farm soldiers, they will even be laughed at in public.
As a result, one after another, the new prisoners didn't even know how to roll cigarettes. Every one of them either spilled their cigarettes or managed to light them and burned their mouths. Only a few old-timers like Li Minbo in the Jaegers smoked it, and even said that the taste was particularly nostalgic. As for the old captive soldiers at the back, they were squatting on the ground and smoking happily.
Taking advantage of the smoke rising and the foreman locking the vent door, the prisoners quickly got together and talked about what was going on these days.
"Squad leader, I thought you were dead at that time." Yang Qi came up first and hugged Shen Rusong, about to howl. A stream of snot and tears touched Shen Rusong's chest, leaving the latter speechless, saying this in his heart Why does a genius act like a kid in any venue? He thought maliciously, if Yang Qi's family knew that their only seedling fell into the devil's cave, how much money could they pay to settle the matter? You can shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a few watches. Why don't you get angry and shell out hundreds of thousands when you redeem it? Damn, it would be nice to have parents who are officials.
"Fuck you, I won't die even if you die." Shen Rusong pushed Yang Qi away and scolded: "Remember, you are not allowed to say anything you shouldn't say. You can only say your name and number, and the rest is like You are not allowed to talk about combat regulations or base conditions. If you tell me, I will beat you to death first!"
Seeing Yang Qi crouching aside timidly and comforting Xie Guorong, Shen Rusong quietly approached Li Minbo's eyes.
"How did you get here?"
Li Minbo took the bark and cigarette from Shen Rusong's hand and rolled it into a good-looking cigarette, but naturally he didn't smoke it, but hid it in his thick and messy hair. And many of the hunters are like this.
According to Li Minbo's account, after they retreated into the bunker with heavy losses, they waited for the main force to rescue them. After waiting for five days, contact was interrupted. Then the savages penetrated the bunker in an unknown way and poured poison gas into it, killing everyone who was trapped and fighting. He was knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he was on his way to the valley blindfolded.
"There is only one entrance and exit to the bunker, and the vents cannot be breached. I can't figure out how they got in. Moreover, the gas masks cannot protect against the aerosol they release." Li Minbo said with a solemn expression.
"I'm worried that this kind of aerosol can be produced on a large scale. Once utilized, it is likely to cause a serious blow to our army."
There is no need to worry about the release of poison gas in field operations. According to past war experience, the release of poison gas shells on the plains requires very stringent conditions. First, a large number of poison gas shells must be made and filled. The savages do not have such industrial conditions. At the same time, it is necessary to accurately predict the weather on the day when the bombardment will begin, and finally to calculate the wind direction and coordinate the attack.
But it is different when used to attack fortresses. Fortresses will not move when they are dead, and they can break through standard gas masks and ventilation and filtration systems. Take the Beiqin base under repair as an example. Once the external battle goes unfavorable, the defenders will retreat into the rocky mountains to continue resisting. Then they will pour poison gas and it will be all over.
"We have to find a way to find out the composition and defense methods of this poisonous gas before passing it on." Li Minbo whispered.
Shen Rusong took a breath of bark cigarette. This kind of cigarette has a very special sweetness. It has a strong aroma and is addictive. Shen Rusong took a breath and threw it away, saying, "How much is this cigarette?" have some problem."
"There should be cocaine in it, and the heart will beat slowly when you smoke it. You can't smoke this kind of cigarette. I was injured outside in the past, and I had to smoke it when I couldn't help it." Li Minbo explained, facing the group of people. The old captive soldier who enjoyed smoking extremely lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "Otherwise, you think it's okay to give us cigarettes? Most people don't think of this, and how many soldiers are not addicted to smoking? Even if they go back, they will probably have to enter a drug rehabilitation center. , and there is no way to return to the army."
"This move is really poisonous. Fortunately, the savages can do it." Lu Lingjie said angrily at the side. He was Li Minbo's deputy, and when he looked at the old captive soldier, he looked like an enemy.
Li Minbo did not answer the question. After all, he believed that there was no point in scolding together, so he usually discussed with Shen Rusong, a person he considered smart. This was proved by taking Shen Rusong to the military camp casino and actively inviting him to join the reconnaissance team. this point.
"You've been here for a while, do you have any clues?"
Shen Rusong narrated what happened during this period and warned Li Minbo that he would be subjected to nerve paralysis, hypnosis and other interrogations to force him to spit out the information. Li Minbo smiled indifferently at this, saying that he had seen more mutated beasts and deformed species than savages had seen. He had also smoked the legendary Thousand-Throated Beast hallucinogenic substances, and a little simple hypnosis? It would have been good if he didn't reverse hypnosis. Is he really a casino gangster?
What I really want to talk about is, of course, jailbreak. The hunters are the group of people with the most experience in surviving in the wild. According to Li Minbo, if they can escape from the valley, they can escape in groups of two and cover the escape of the main group. Among the thirty people, only two or three groups can escape. The probability is high. But at this point, Lee Min-bak shut up.
Shen Rusong understood what Li Minbo meant. First, who was the team that really escaped? Going south is life, while those responsible for cover going north or east are certain to die. In winter, the Tong'an Mountains, not to mention mutant beasts, the severe cold alone is enough to kill anyone who trespasses there. sacrifice? Everyone present can pat their chests and say that they are not afraid of sacrifice on the battlefield, but it is a completely different concept to bury oneself in Tong'anling with a certain death mentality. The second level is the location of the safe house. This is a secret among secrets. Only Lee Min-bak should know it. He cannot tell anyone. This also implies that he will be in the group that escapes. Now You can't say it clearly, otherwise it will easily cause subtle changes in mentality. The third thing is, who are the partners now?
At least the group of old captive soldiers who smoked poisonous cigarettes didn't count.
Some people died, but not completely...
