My own war game

Chapter 213 Sasaki's Concern
Cough cough cough! ! !
Amidst the violent coughing, golden liquid flowed down the corners of Jack's mouth. The taste in his mouth was very complicated at this time, and he was choked by He Chi's rude action.

The other American prisoners of war behind them saw their comrades being abused and humiliated in such a way. Some of them clenched their fists, but they were powerless when seeing the glaring bayonets in front of them, and could only close their eyes in pain.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!” “Sparasi!” “Sparasi!”

On the other side, the Japanese soldiers guarding the American prisoners burst into laughter when they saw the miserable appearance of the American prisoners.

At this time, the sergeant named Sasakibei did not let the other party go. He still pulled Jack and shouted in English, "Drink it! Drink it!"

At this time, Jack calmed down a little. He found that although the liquid in his mouth tasted strange, it was not urine. In addition, his physiological need for water made him finally swallow the liquid in his mouth in big gulps.

Most of the water in the kettle was gone, and Jack turned his head and coughed loudly. Although he looked miserable, he actually felt much better.

"Hahahahahaha!!!! Yosi, you are indeed a beautiful pig, only worthy of drinking urine." The sergeant named Sasaki in front of him seemed very satisfied with Jack's performance. He patted his cheek and stood up with a laugh.

Sergeant Yagyu standing by didn't care about He Chi's arrogant behavior, and even felt a sense of identification in his heart.

"Sasaki-san, this is how you deal with the American beasts. These people who have no samurai honor need this method to change their sense of shame."

Masao Yagyu represented the thoughts of most Japanese troops at that time. These guys who were brainwashed by Bushido thought about words like "die with honor", "die for the sake of righteousness", and "be loyal to His Majesty" all day long. They despised the American troops who laid down their arms and surrendered. In addition, the Japanese commanders intentionally or unintentionally said that "there seemed to be too many prisoners of war", so a large-scale prisoner abuse incident occurred on the march.

According to historical records, during the 120-kilometer journey from Bataan to O'Donnell POW Camp, a total of 80,000 prisoners were tortured to death, with more than 15,000 of them being tortured to death. Later generations called it the Bataan Death March.

At this time, the more than one hundred prisoners escorted by Yagyu Masao's team had just started their journey.

"Sasaki-kun, let's go together. We can take care of each other on the way." Sergeant Yagyu felt that He Chi's behavior was very right. He took the initiative to propose to join the other party and even changed his address to "Jun", which is how an elder addresses a young person.

"Well..." He Chi pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and bowed, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

The prisoners of war set off again, and Jack, who was pulled back into the team, was looked at with sympathy and pity by his companions.

But when no one was paying attention, the young pilot licked his lips and looked at the back of the Japanese sergeant in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face.

Walking on the road, He Chi scanned the captives and found that there were more than just Jack who were familiar faces. Kang Sen, Joey, Robertson, Calvinster...

Although He Chi had not been in contact with them for a long time, he still recognized that these people were crew members of the Langley.

It seems that some of the crew members were rescued after the Langley sank in Indonesia and came here. Unfortunately, they were unlucky and encountered a sudden change in the war situation in the Philippines, and were wiped out by the Japanese.

He Chi had a vague impression of about a quarter of these prisoners of war. If possible, he wanted to save these people, but it was difficult to do so.

The escort team under Masao Yagyu is not easy to deal with.

Putting aside personal preferences, from a purely military perspective, the combat effectiveness of this Japanese squad composed of Hokkaido fishermen was very good. Even in the early Pacific battlefield, the quality of individual soldiers was definitely above average.

There were 1 soldiers in total. Probably because they had eaten more fish protein in their hometown, the average height of these soldiers was estimated to be over 68 meters, much higher than the average height of the Japanese army at that time. All of them had combat experience and never acted in unison. Even when eating, at least one-third of them remained alert.

Moreover, these guys whose brains were damaged by the Bushido ideology were extremely obedient to their superiors, and they spontaneously formed a strict hierarchy of "veterans" and "new recruits" within the team. Even if they raided and killed Yagyu Masao, there would be experienced veterans in the team who would step forward to take over the command.

If you want to kill all the guards at once, regardless of how difficult it is, once the gunshots are heard, the Japanese troops from other directions will rush over to search. You can run into the jungle and escape, but these prisoners in extremely poor physical condition will not be able to catch up.

It was not possible to take action for the time being, so He Chi had to give up this plan and follow this small force towards the target location, only providing implicit help when someone's life was in danger.

However, because He Chi's reasons were sufficient, he not only did not arouse suspicion, but even established personal reputation among this group of soldiers.

"Mr. Liu Sheng! Stop, please let the team stop!" He Chi in the team suddenly shouted.

"Everyone stop!" Yagyu Masao ordered loudly, and soon the whole team stopped.

"Sasaki-kun, what happened?"

"Yagyu-san, you are too careless. Please wait a moment." He Chi then shouted to the Japanese guards, "Matsushita, Morita, you two step out!"

Two younger soldiers stepped forward.

"Matsushita, come here!" He Chi ordered the first private, who came over but moved with a limp.

He Chi walked over and lifted the leg of one of the soldiers. Everyone found that there was a large wound on each of his legs, with pus and blood oozing out.

"This is a tropical ulcer. If it is not treated in time, even a small wound may eventually develop into a big problem such as amputation."

After He Chi finished speaking, he walked towards another soldier and ordered him to turn around. As a result, the people behind him found that the soldier's pants were already stained with yellow feces.

"This is dysentery. This is probably not the first day that Morita has had this. He is just forcing himself."

Snapped!
He Chi suddenly stood at attention, turned to face Yagyu Masao, and bowed 90 degrees.

"Yagyu-san, each of us is willing to die for His Majesty at any time, but the lives of soldiers should be used for more valuable purposes. Please do not let them die on the roadside due to negligence. I'm here, please!"

As soon as these words were spoken, two soldiers who had been at the bottom of the army and who dared not to show their illness because of the emphasis on the spirit of Bushido were moved to tears. The other soldiers were also moved.

And Yagyu Masao also bowed 90 degrees in return, "Sasaki-san, I am sorry for not being considerate and causing you trouble!"

Because of this incident, the entire team stopped to rest for about 40 minutes. The prisoners got a chance to catch their breath, and some of them even had a chance to drink water.
