Turn: Human and Python Battle in the Tropical Jungle

Man python battle in tropical jungle

(Uh! Actually, I have been thinking about whether the content on this article I collected when I was in the army is true! You should know that the python is more than 20 meters tall, with a body as big as a balloon, and a snake head is like a basket. Is there really such a big snake in the world? Is it really the second episode of the Crazy Python disaster?)

Wild survival training

In the summer of 1965, I led a reconnaissance platoon to conduct field survival training in the hinterland of Wuzhishan.

The tropical forest in the heart of Wuzhishan is a primeval forest area, with deep grass and dense forests. It raises its head—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Meeting on a narrow road, suddenly encountering a giant python

At noon the next day of the outdoor survival training, the weather was stuffy and the soldiers were tired and hungry. When the troops approached a narrow valley, they suddenly felt cool and pleasant. A squad leader said, "Plane leader, this place is very cool, take a break!" I said, "Yes". The soldiers in the platoon sat on the ground in a "wow" manner. Suddenly, a soldier screamed: "There is a big python on the big tree"!

When he screamed, the soldiers in the platoon jumped up. He saw a big python spanning three tree forks. The python was about 20 meters long, as thick as an air pump, and the python head was larger than a basket. The opened bloody mouth was about one meter long. The tongue spit out by the python went in and out like a sharp sword, which was so scary!

It just blocks the way forward for the troops.

Fire volley, human python battle

There are mountains on both sides, and a narrow valley in the middle. The python lies right in the middle to block the whereabouts.

The warrior hid to the left, the python leaned to the left; the warrior hid to the right, it leaned to the right; the warriors did not move, it did not move. Faced with the threat of the giant python, we were in a dilemma. At this time, a Guangdong-born warrior said, "Platform leader, can you kill it? How delicious is this python meat?" His words were responding to the response, and the bloody soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill it and eat python meat"! This stumped me! If I can't kill the python and bit the warrior, I can't explain to my superiors! If I don't fight, I will bypass it.

I don’t know how many days this mountain will take (at that time, I was just to survive and didn’t know much about animal protection laws. Of course, I had a poor awareness of protecting wild animals 34 years ago, and this was also a decision to hit the python under the unsuccessful circumstances.) To be cautious, we first determined the way of fighting: aim at the python head, gather fire and fire. 36 soldiers, each with a submachine gun, 50 meters in front of the python head, snatch the favorable terrain, rely on the big tree to hide, and spread it in a fan shape. In case of precaution,

Each soldier was looking for a route to escape. After the arrangement was completed, the squad leader and I checked the shooting positions and directions of the 36 soldiers one by one, and clearly stipulated that the entire platoon was allowed to fire only after hearing my pistol sound. After the inspection, I was still worried! The fire-gathering volley is a tactic of anti-aircraft guns to attack aircraft. Is this possible? I once again calculated the bullets fired: 50 meters away, 36 shooting positions, each person fired 30 bullets, and the whole platoon fired 1,080.

If the bullet is fired, it will pass more than 1,000 holes on the head of a python as big as a basket. If the shooting is accurate, the python should definitely die, and there will never be any more pounces on the warriors. At this time, the python on the tree fork seemed to see something, his eyes were round and he stared at him, and he would have a decisive battle to kill people! Everything was ready. I slowly raised my pistol and fired a gun, and then there was a "whistle" sound. More than 1,000 Type 56 bullets were shot in one minute.

Be happy, carry the python back to the camp

What is the effect of more than 1,000 bullets being fired on the python heads as big as a basket? When the soldiers scattered their 30 bullets, they looked at the python heads; blood splattered and blood was blurred. The python heads that were still energetic just now instantly turned into a bloody honeycomb bead. Almost at the same time, a terrible sound appeared, and the big tree branches wrapped by the python body sounded "bang, bbw" and the branches that were twisted by the python fell to the ground with crackling sounds. Then there was another loud noise, and the whole python was from a tree more than ten meters high.

He fell heavily to the ground, struggled a few times, but stopped moving! The python fell to the ground for about half an hour, silent and silent, and no one dared to move forward. It was still the Guangdong warrior who was brave, and he said, "Don't move, I'll go and see." I nodded to him, and he walked towards the python alone, first looking at the still bleeding meat ball, then touching the fat python meat. Finally, he lifted the python's tail. Seeing that it had no reaction, he shouted loudly: "Plane leader, the python is dead"! I gave an order and said: You can approach the dead python.

The soldiers tiptoed to the python, only daring to look closely, not daring to caress...
