Chapter 817 Approaching Skull Island
Chapter 817 Approaching Skull Island
Tupbil yelled at the top of his lungs.
"What are you yelling about? Soldiers should obey orders!"
"It's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist. If you have the guts, bring your marines in!"
Someone in the crowd objected loudly, and RNG Tepbil's face turned red with embarrassment.
Of course he knew about this.
His superiors had previously wanted to transfer people from his Marine Corps to Skull Island.
But this guy was afraid of death, and after communicating with his cousin Tephol, he luckily escaped.
This time too, he escaped.
He even secretly felt lucky that Yuan Shuai and the Paratrooper Special Operations Battalion stole the limelight in this fight against the Japanese, otherwise, they would probably have picked some people out of his team.
The staff officer turned his gaze towards Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai pretended that he saw nothing and just sat on the chair, puffing smoke from a cigarette.
After all, he didn't want to go.
If it wasn't for looking for his brother, he would never go to Skull Island.
He also didn't want to drag these people to their deaths.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the staff officer shouted.
"This is an order. Soldiers should obey orders. Anyone who disobeys orders should get out immediately!"
Upon hearing this, all the noise stopped immediately.
Everyone knows that this staff officer came directly from the military.
The "get out" he mentioned was not just an ordinary "get out". It was very likely that he meant leaving the army.
They had finally crawled out of the pile of dead bodies and lived to this day. If they went back, they could enjoy all kinds of benefits. No one would be willing to leave like this.
"What happened today is absolutely confidential. Anyone who dares to leak it will be punished by military law!"
"Also, all team members will board the ship tonight. From now on, no one in the entire paratrooper battalion is allowed to leave the camp without orders!"
"The meeting is dismissed!"
The staff officer turned and left after saying this.
Many officers were so angry that they cursed, but there was nothing they could do.
Hogdonlei cursed the harshest.
He didn't want to die either.
Even though his uncle had just been here, he couldn't do anything.
Who gave this order?
Who made him a soldier?
However, the officers quickly surrounded Yuan Shuai.
"Captain, what on earth is going on?"
"Is it to save your brother?!"
Hogdong Lei quickly turned his attention to Yuan Shuai, trying to stir up public outrage.
Sure enough, many officers' eyes were filled with anger.
"Don't bring the flames of war to me. You all heard how many people went in just now. And this time they went in together with the Japanese army! Do you think it's possible?"
"You are afraid of death and don't want to go in, so don't put all the responsibility on me! Go back and get some sleep, this battle is going to be difficult!"
After saying that, Yuan Shuai stood up and left.
All the so-called confidential information that Yuan Shuai had seen before had been made public at the meeting.
Yuan Shuai had nothing to explain.
After all, he had only seen the movie in his previous life, and he had no idea what specific dangers there were in Skull Island.
Moreover, the information that has been transmitted is limited, and perhaps a lot of it has been hidden by someone.
Therefore, he had nothing to explain.
He could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that fewer people would die and that his brother would be found as soon as possible.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, the entire paratrooper camp has been controlled.
Before the meeting, all the injured were taken to the hospital for isolation.
After the meeting, the entire camp was closed to all but the most vulnerable.
As it was getting dark, truckloads of weapons and equipment were pulled into the camp.
According to Yuan Shuai's arrangement, everyone had a pistol and a gas mask.
Each squad is equipped with three squad machine guns and one bazooka.
A platoon is equipped with 4 heavy machine guns and two 60mm cannons!
In addition, everyone brought enough compressed biscuits and first aid kits.
By the evening, everyone was arranged to board the warship.
The ship sailed in the darkness.
Everyone looked at the dark night and the sea outside the window, feeling uneasy.
However, Yuan Shuai did not think too much about it. When he arrived at the cabin, he found a bed, put on his clothes, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Time passes quickly.
By the next morning.
The soldiers couldn't stand the oppression in the cabin and ran to the deck to play.
What surprised them was that they had not just one ship, but several ships, even an aircraft carrier.
Not far away, there was a Japanese fleet sailing side by side with them.
"Damn it, we were fighting the Japs before, and now we have to cooperate with them!"
"These devils are very cunning. If they enter Skull Island, they might open fire on us. We should be careful!"
"Be careful, don't be careful! In my opinion, we should kill them right after we get in, or they will shoot us from behind!"
"Shut up! The meeting said that this is a joint operation and no harm to friendly forces is allowed!"
"Are they worthy of being called friendly forces? They killed so many of our brothers!"
Many people were very unhappy about cooperating with the Japanese army. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent, and they couldn't wait to go over and kill all the devils.
The Japs actually had the same idea.
Helplessly, this time they all had a common goal. The officers repeatedly reminded them that they must find survivors and research data.
Similarly, here in the US military, General Yuan had to remind everyone.
Only the Japanese army knew the location of the laboratory.
If we kill all the devils, we won't be able to complete the mission.
For the sake of the mission, all American soldiers could only suppress their anger and endure it.
It was almost noon and the US troops had already started eating.
After dinner, the ship slowed down.
All fleets, including aircraft carriers, stopped advancing except for the ships carrying the paratrooper battalion.
Only the ships carrying the paratrooper battalion continued to move forward.
"What's going on? Why aren't those ships and aircraft carriers following us?"
"Fuck! They're clearly sending us to be cannon fodder!"
"Nonsense! Didn't they hear what was said in the meeting? When we get close to Skull Island, there will be a very strong magnetic field and the compass will malfunction! So they dare not move forward and can only send our ship to take us in!"
Yuan Shuai's words reminded everyone of the meeting, and then some people began to look at their watches.
"Damn it, the watch is broken!"
"mine too!"
"It seems that this Skull Island is too weird!"
"We better be careful!"
Everyone became nervous and gripped their guns tightly.
After a long time, they saw a large island in front of them.
It was so big that they thought the mainland was just ahead.
But thick fog rose from the sea outside the island.
Many places are obscured by these dense clouds.
It is already past one in the afternoon and the sunlight is very strong. If it were morning, the entire island would probably be shrouded in thick fog and we wouldn't be able to see what's going on.
"Put on your gas mask and get ready for battle!"
Yuan Shuai felt something was wrong and shouted loudly.
"Is the fog poisonous?"
"Who knows? If you want to die, don't wear a gas mask!"
