Chapter 788 I Don’t Want to Be Cannon Fodder
At this time, the company commander came here with his men.
Seeing that everyone was still here, the company commander ran over happily and gave Yuan Shuai a thumbs up.
"Good job, boy!"
"You are so unreal!"
Yuan Shuai rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I'm not real? What do you mean?"
The company commander was stunned.
Does this guy want a promotion?
Yuan Shuai said while smoking a cigarette.
"Brothers have fought their lives to get here, shouldn't we at least express our condolences to them?"
"Condolences?! Oh, I see. Hahahaha, I must express condolences!"
The company commander finally reacted, threw the cigarette in his pocket to Yuan Shuai, and continued.
"But you'd better smoke less on the battlefield to avoid being discovered by the Japanese."
"Don't worry, there are so many dense forests here, the smoke has long dissipated, the Japs can't be seen even with a telescope! However, the most dangerous ones are not the Japs!"
"What do you mean?"
The company commander was confused again.
Suddenly, the radio voice rang out.
It turned out that after the battalion commander saw that the fighting here had stopped, he asked the signalman to contact here.
"How's it going? Did you find the paratroopers?"
When the radio call was connected, the battalion commander's first question was about the paratroopers, instead of caring about their life or death.
The company commander felt uncomfortable.
But he could only suppress the anger in his heart and answer.
"We haven't seen it yet! But we've advanced three kilometers!"
"Very good, search for paratroopers around. Also, find a paratrooper named Hogdonlei. Find him and send him to the rear immediately!"
"Hogdonlei!? Got it!"...
After hanging up the phone, before the company commander could say anything, Yuan Shuai spoke angrily.
"How is it, is danger coming?!"
"..."
The company commander was speechless for a while.
Only then did he understand what danger Yuan Shuai was talking about.
For Yuan Shuai, the most dangerous thing was not the Japanese, but that damn mission.
Because these missions will put them in greater danger and face the imminent threat of death.
But he could only smile bitterly and nod.
"Yes, they asked us to find a paratrooper named Hogdonlei!"
"Isn't this an international joke? In such a large jungle, we could run into Japanese invaders, landmines, and traps at any time. Where do you want us to look for them?"
"With so many companies, do we really have to let our company go and find people?"
"You really treat us as cannon fodder!"
"Being a cannon fodder once is enough, but after being a cannon fodder once, there is no end to it!"
Before General Yuan could say anything, many soldiers began to complain.
After all, no one may be able to return from the battlefield.
Why should they go find someone and send others to the rear first?
Just because others are human beings, does that mean they are no longer human beings?
The company commander felt helpless as well.
But this is an order.
He is a soldier and should follow orders unconditionally.
After he said this, no one refuted him, but no one stood up either.
Everyone turned their eyes to Yuan Shuai.
"Why are you looking at me? They treat you as cannon fodder, but you treat me as cannon fodder?! I don't have time! I'm tired and need to rest!"
After Yuan Shuai finished speaking, he lay down and chewed a piece of grass in his mouth.
Roy Bart couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He sat aside and said.
"Captain, we are really tired. It has not been easy to fight all the way here!"
"That's right. After fighting this far, Yuan Shuai is almost exhausted. If something happens to him, what will happen in the future?"
Machine gunner Kalu also echoed.
The company commander glanced around and said.
"Take a half-hour break!"
He walked to a big tree and sat down, leaning against it and looking at Yuan Shuai.
Several times, he wanted to open his mouth and say something.
But every time he opened his mouth, he saw Yuan Shuai's tired face and had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
And Yuan Shuai was really tired this time.
This damn place is near the sea, very hot and humid.
More importantly, although the people around him have good weapons and equipment, they are not as powerful as the brothers of the Black Wolf Special Forces.
He even missed his brother a little.
But what's the use of missing you?
Now he can only rely on himself, and of course, on these American soldiers.
Perhaps because of fatigue, he fell asleep quickly.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Shuai did not open his eyes.
The company commander stood up and wanted to call him to get up, but then he closed his mouth again.
He turned and said to a platoon leader.
"Your men, search and scout the left and right wings in front."
Although the platoon leader was very reluctant, he had to divide his men into three groups and search and scout in the front and on both wings.
However, when the team had advanced less than 500 meters, some people stepped on a trap, and some even stepped on an anti-personnel mine, killing three people on the spot and injuring the others.
Hearing the sound, everyone was startled.
"Damn it, it's over, there's a mine!"
"There should be some traps!"
"No wonder Yuan Shuai didn't want to act right away, it turns out there's danger ahead!"
Everyone looked at Yuan Shuai in astonishment.
The company commander was so angry that his face turned red.
He originally thought that even without Yuan Shuai, his men would still be able to move forward in the search and find the person.
But now it seems that things are not as easy as he thought.
Soon, the people who went out first ran back.
There were a total of twenty casualties, and only one squad was left able to fight.
Damn, we’ve only advanced 500 meters and there’s only one squad left in a platoon.
Yuan Shuai, with a squad, advanced several kilometers forward.
The difference is extremely huge!
He felt helpless and at a loss for words. He could only let the team continue to rest and wait for Yuan Shuai to wake up after resting well.
However, from time to time, there were sounds of painful wails, mine explosions, and even gunfire from the Japanese in the distance.
After listening to these voices, everyone understood.
Here, the Japanese had set up a large number of traps and mines, and some were even waiting for them to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a guerrilla war against them.
It was not until the evening when everyone stopped moving that the sounds gradually stopped and finally disappeared.
At this time, Yuan Shuai had also woken up.
After resting for most of the day, he has recovered a lot of strength.
Just looking at the wounded around.
Yuan Shuai didn't say anything, he just took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it leisurely.
No one in the team dared to make a fire, for fear of being discovered by the Japanese and attracting their artillery shells.
"Yuan Shuai, you're awake!"
The company commander came over, sat next to him, and handed Yuan Shuai a wine jug.
General Yuan was not polite either. He had fought so hard, so giving him a pot of wine, let alone a jar of wine, would not be too much.
He took a few sips and asked.
"what's the situation?"
"There are Japanese traps and mines all around us. We have lost more than 20 men! The casualties of other companies are even more severe!"
