Chapter 324 Swallowing Ji Bang (Second update)
Ji Bang Jinlao Mountain.
Fifty thousand Zen soldiers were in a desperate situation with no ammunition or food.
Those who can be sent to the front line to confront the Jieke Group are the most capable front-line veteran troops of the Zen government.
But even if we can fight again, we will face a situation of lack of food, water and ammunition.
Whether it is a modern army or an ancient army, it is inevitable that it will be defeated.
In the trench of Jinlao Mountain, a short figure rolled in, clutching two struggling voles with his left hand, his dark face full of smiles.
"Lao Pu, Orange, Ah Feng, everyone, come here quickly and see what good things I have caught."
Dua excitedly carried the field mouse, but the happy mood on his face did not last for a few seconds. After seeing the sad mood of his comrades in the bomb-proof cave, he seemed to understand something.
"Monitor, monitor, he..."
Du Wa's palms trembled slightly and he saw a sealed body bag in the corner of the blast hole.
Five days ago, the squad leader who had been taking care of him followed a group of people to the logistics quartermaster's place to cause trouble in order to get food. As a result, when they dispersed, he was injured by the supervising team. The wound became infected, and there was a lack of food and clean drinking water. , and kept having a high fever.
"The monitor didn't make it through."
A comrade's voice was low. During the days of siege, the Jieke Group continued to carry out shelling. Many times, soldiers were either blown away by the shells or died from time to time in the Zen troops in Jinlao Mountain due to lack of water, food and medicine during the siege. occur.
Those who were killed were only a few, hiding in the shell-proof holes. Unless they were hit directly by large-caliber howitzers, nothing would happen.
More soldiers died of various diseases.
In a tropical rainforest environment like Zen Country, October is a very hot time, and high temperatures and rain are the norm here.
Exposed to the high temperatures for days, the soldiers hiding in the shell holes and trenches were like a group of gophers in a sweltering steamer.
Both physical strength and will are being tortured, and people suffer from heatstroke every moment.
Sometimes after high temperatures, there would be continuous rain for several days, causing the trenches to become muddy.
This hot and humid environment caused many soldiers to suffer from various skin diseases.
The most common one is jungle foot rot on the feet.
In the absence of medical treatment, he could only watch his feet rotting away.
More soldiers ate contaminated food and rainwater, causing various types of diarrhea, high fever and dehydration.
Nowadays, the logistics field hospitals are no longer accepting people. Soldiers who are sick have to carry themselves. If they can bear the burden, they will live, and if they cannot bear it, they will die.
"Can we still win this battle?"
Dua sat dejectedly on the dirt, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
Before the war started, Du Wa's 5th Infantry Division of the Zen government army, with the highest number, was the elite of the elite. It often played guerrilla warfare with those warlords in the rain forest, and its record was very good.
Du Wa originally thought that this expedition would be the same as usual, but as a result, they were surrounded in Jinlao Mountain and were unable to advance or retreat. They had to endure bombings and torture of illness and hunger every day. The morale of these soldiers had long been worn away.
"Win? Unless the government can open up Jiweicheng, it will take the lead to win!"
The soldier on the side lit a fire while muttering, and put the two voles on it to roast.
Several soldiers sat around and swallowed hard, their eyes glowing green.
Hunger is also a problem for the Zen army in Jinlao Mountain today. At first, they had three meals a day, then two meals a day, and now, it is one meal every two days, and they eat food that even dogs would not eat.
The soldiers at the bottom were so hungry every day that they had to go out to find wild game to add to their meals, risking being killed by the Jieko Group's artillery shells, such as Dua.
However, the ecology of Jinlao Mountain is not enough to supply 50,000 hungry troops.
After many days, the ground has been scraped three feet away. Not to mention all kinds of game, mice are the most delicious food. Now people have begun to chew tree bark and weeds.
The Zen government also tried airdropping supplies. Only airdrops can drop so much food. Even one cent for 50,000 people is not enough for a meal.
Later, several transport helicopters were shot down by individual air defense missiles from the Jieko Group. This airdrop was never seen again.
"Hey, light a fire and smoke, do you want to attract cannonballs and kill us?"
There was a roar, and the group of soldiers who were roasting field mice turned around to see two supervisors walking over.
Because recently there are always people fleeing due to disordered military morale, these supervisory teams are also stepping up inspections and find that deserters are not merciless.
When they saw the two roasted voles, the two supervisors' eyes suddenly lit up and they immediately walked over at a faster speed.
"I'm sorry, we are so hungry. Look, it's broad daylight. We are in a dense forest and the smoke is not obvious. We will put out the fire immediately after baking."
A veteran stood up and tried to clear things up.
"Hmph, if everyone did this like you, there would be no need for rules."
The supervising team stamped out the bonfire, then picked up two field mice and said, "This thing is confiscated. Let us teach you a lesson."
Although they, the war supervisors, had slightly better food than ordinary soldiers, they were still hungry and could not resist the temptation of roasting field mice.
A group of soldiers were so angry at the actions of the two war supervisors that their faces turned red and white for a while, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
Du Wa didn't want to let it go. Thinking of the dead squad leader, he was extremely angry. An uncontrollable anger flashed in his eyes. The skin on his face was twisted ferociously. His palm touched the rifle.
Click!
The crisp sound of the safety opening sounded. Upon hearing this sound, the two supervisory teams subconsciously turned around to look.
Then they saw Dewar raising his rifle and pointing it at them, which shocked them.
One of them dodges very fast and immediately turns over to dodge, but the other person is half a beat too slow.
The next second, bullets spurted out, instantly punching several bullet holes in the body of the supervisor.
Until he died, he looked in disbelief that these big soldiers dared to kill the supervising team.
Dua held his gun and was about to find another supervisory team who had ducked into the corner trench.
But he found that the other party had fallen in a pool of blood, and it was another group of soldiers who attacked him.
The group of soldiers kept taking out their bayonets and stabbing the supervising team member in retaliation one after another, still cursing loudly.
"Let you deduct military rations, let you disregard our life and death, let you be more majestic, I will fucking rebel today, at worst, I will surrender to the Jieke Group, and I will not sacrifice my life for you bunch of beasts."
When the screams of the supervising team gradually stopped, the soldiers raised their heads, looked at Dua and said, "Brother, I've had enough of their anger. Let's turn against them."
Du Wa gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and said through gritted teeth: "If you rebel against him, you will never work for the Zen government again. We want to live."
Several of Dua's comrades also stood up at this time and said angrily: "Forget it, my head is just a scar if it falls off. I have had enough of chewing bark and grass roots every day." The huge movement here attracted people. A large number of soldiers emerged from the trenches and gun holes. When they heard the shouts and roars, they also joined the crowd and became angry.
"Rebel him!"
"We want food, we want bread."
"I won't fight this battle, I want to eat."
The anger and frustration caused by the siege for many days completely broke out at this moment, and the soldiers joined Dua's team one after another.
Along the way, the resisting team received a mass response, and soldiers continued to join them, and the entire Jinlao Mountain became completely lively.
The Zen army stationed at Jinlao Mountain can persist until now without mutiny, which is considered to be tenacious.
After all, most of their family members lived under the territory of the Zen government, and the soldiers were afraid that their surrender would harm their families.
But now that things have developed, dissatisfaction has accumulated to its peak, like a flash flood that is out of control.
And when the mutiny broke out, it was impossible for the supervising team to suppress it, and they were beaten back and forth.
When it was the turn of the guard companies of those senior officers, facing the counterattack of tens of thousands of soldiers, they were like a pebble in a rolling wave. Throwing it in could not make any waves at all. In the end, they could only be dragged along and join. The rebel team.
The commander of the Jinlaoshan battle was Zen Lieutenant General Wu Dengkai. At this time, he was awakened by the noise outside. He hurried out to the command room and received news of a mutiny by the soldiers.
"What, how did it happen."
Wu Denkai was dumbfounded. He also knew in his heart that after being besieged for a long time, the soldiers would become tired of fighting and dissatisfied.
But when he thought about it, the most the soldiers could do was surrender to the Jieko Group. Why did it seem that something was wrong now? They were coming for senior officers like himself.
"Prepare a helicopter for me immediately, I want to leave."
With his heart trembling, Wu Dengkai did not dare to face the rebels to persuade them, but immediately wanted to escape by helicopter.
There are many officers who think the same as him. Most of these senior officers are from influential local families in Chan Kingdom, and they basically have not climbed up from the bottom step by step.
As long as they return to the territory of the Zen government, most of them can continue to enjoy their glory and wealth. How can they be willing to accompany those untouchables to surrender to the Jieke Group.
Wu Tengkai and a group of senior officers ran to the helicopter take-off and landing area in embarrassment. Many people now regret it.
If they had known earlier, they should have run away earlier, but they were afraid of being held accountable by the Zen government, and they did not want to lose the power in their hands. As a result, they have been delaying until today.
"They are going to run away, those popular and popular officers are going to run away."
When the soldiers who fought back saw this scene, this move was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Feeling abandoned and betrayed, the soldiers opened fire directly on the airport.
The bullets killed many senior officers who were too late to board the plane. Some who were lucky enough to board the helicopter were bombarded by soldiers with rockets during the slow take-off stage. The casualties on the scene were extremely heavy.
"No, don't."
Wu Dengkai saw a rocket flying straight towards him. He had just got on the helicopter, and his eyes were as wide as bells. Fear made his pants wet.
But no matter what, his life disappeared like fireworks in the bright explosion of the rocket.
A few minutes later, many senior officers were basically slaughtered by the angry soldiers, and the scene was a mess.
Five kilometers away from Jinlao Mountain, soldiers from the Jieke Group are conducting routine garrison here to prevent the Zen army from breaking through.
Suddenly, many soldiers heard the sound of dense footsteps.
The drone also saw a large number of ragged soldiers walking over on the ground, numbering in the hundreds.
"Enemy attack."
The Jieko soldiers immediately prepared for battle, but what was strange was that these soldiers did not carry any firearms, and they raised their hands high. Some even pulled a white cloth and hung it on a stick to shake it.
"What's going on? This is surrender."
The battalion commander stationed here gradually came to his senses and asked his soldiers not to shoot, and then passed the news to the top commander here.
After a while, Liu Yingying came to the front of the position accompanied by a group of senior officers.
She came here today for inspection and to dispatch some logistical supplies, but she didn't expect to encounter this incident.
"Are you going to surrender?"
Liu Yingying looked at these soldiers, who were sallow and skinny and covered in rot and mud. Many of them were staggering when they walked and felt like they would fall down at any time.
"We want to surrender. I represent not only myself, but the entire 50,000 soldiers in Jinlao Mountain, but there is a prerequisite for our surrender."
Du Wa looked at Liu Yingying, feeling a little uneasy, afraid of being rejected by Liu Yingying.
"What conditions?"
Liu Yingying looked deeply at Du Wa. She had already discovered that he was not a senior officer. He did not have any epaulets or stars on his shoulders, he was just an ordinary soldier.
"Let us eat and be full."
Dua stated his request. Only those who have been hungry know how happy it is to have a full stomach.
Liu Yingying was a little stunned and thought it was something.
"That's it, I promise you."
Without thinking, Liu Yingying agreed.
Du Wa's face was filled with joy, he saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "I, Private Du Wa, represent the 12th Infantry Division, the 5th Infantry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, the 3rd Armored Brigade, and the 19th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Zen Kingdom. Today, November 10, officially surrendered to the Jieke Group.”
"On behalf of the Jieco Group, I accept your surrender. Let's go have a meal."
Liu Yingying smiled, knowing what they wanted most now. She waved her hand and asked people to take them to dinner.
An hour later, hundreds of logistics support vehicles from the Jieke Group drove up Jinlao Mountain without any resistance along the way. The Zen soldiers just stood on the side of the road, watching the convoy helplessly.
When the logistics support vehicle stopped and opened the carriage, steamed steamed buns, porridge, sausages, jams, hot dishes and hot soup were brought out. The whole place was filled with cheers.
Soon, rifles were thrown on the ground and piled up into a hill. The Zen soldiers surrendered to the Jieko soldiers in large numbers, and then eagerly gobbled them up.
At this point, it took nearly a month for the 50,000 most elite soldiers of the Zen government to surrender to the Jieke Group after the Jieke Group wasted some shells and had a full meal.
At the same time, this also means that the last resistance force in Ji State has disappeared.
Ji State, a rich industrial state in the Zen Kingdom, officially fell under the control of the Jieko Group.
When the news came out, the Zen Kingdom was shocked, Southeast Asia was shocked, and the whole world was shocked.
No one expected that the war would progress so fast. In less than a month, the Jieke Group swept across the entire country of Ji State, killing more than 10,000 enemies and capturing 50,000 prisoners. It determined the fate of Ji State. War situation.
