My own war game

Chapter 255 Experience
"Singing? At this time?" Major Oka Akinosuke was very surprised. He thought he was a little dazed by the wind and waves at sea.

After confirming with the people around him, the major realized that everyone around him had heard the singing.

As for the smell in the air, there was no need to ask. The soldiers' small action of licking their lips every once in a while betrayed their thoughts.

"Come with me to take a look with a small team. The rest of you, stay on standby and be ready to fight at any time." The major gave the order vigilantly.

Only a hundred meters away, the major discovered the source of the fragrance. A dozen ragged soldiers were making beef rice balls around a big pot. The fragrance and singing came from there.

"Sir, the previous advance team has sent a telegram saying that they have set up a camp on the beach..." Lieutenant Aoki reminded.

"Yes, I will take my men to make contact. Second Lieutenant, you take your men on alert. If any abnormality is found, eliminate the enemy first. Don't worry about my safety." The major said righteously.

"Sir, let me do this dangerous thing first..."

"Baga! Are you questioning my courage as an Imperial soldier?!"

In this way, Lieutenant Aoki watched his superior walk towards the opposite camp with steady and resolute steps through binoculars. Of course, it would be better if the major could wear boots.

Through the telescope, the lieutenant saw that Major Oka Akinosuke only said a few words to the other party before letting down his guard, then walked out and waved in his direction.
"Kuai! Kuai!" (Come here!)
"Commander!!!! You're finally here!!! It's been so tough here during this period!" A guy with an Osaka accent in the tent hugged Major Oka Akinosuke's thigh and cried loudly, wiping his snot and tears from time to time.

"Let go! How can you behave like this! Where is the might of the Imperial Japanese Army?!" Major Oka Akinosuke threw the guy on the ground with some disgust, but he had put his doubts aside.

The other party knew his military number and rank clearly, and even knew the size of the troops. They even prepared rice balls for the dinner based on this number of people. This was obviously a previous contact made by the garrison troops stationed on the island through the radio.

Although the opponent was a little too weak, it was normal considering that he was a guy from Osaka.

In contrast, Lieutenant Aoki was more cautious. He asked in a puzzled tone, "How did you know we were going to be nearby? I remember the telegram didn't mention the landing point, right?"

"Hai!" The guy on the other side wiped his tears and lowered his head and replied, "I don't know where the commander landed. This is just our temporary base. We just prepared a meal in the hope that the soldiers can have a hot meal."

"Yoshi~" Major Oka Akinosuke nodded. This was also what reassured him the most. Since the ship was too small, he himself was not sure where he could land in the end. It would be too magical to say that someone arranged spies to wait for them in this direction in advance.

Only coincidence can explain all this.

"How much food do you have here?"

"Captain Yimu left behind a batch of supplies. The rice balls here can feed 500 people." The other party said respectfully.

"Make more. More soldiers may come ashore soon. Boil some hot water to warm everyone up."

"Hai! I'll do it right away."

Soon the Japanese troops on the beach gathered in groups of three or four. Ships continued to land from the sea. The people became more and more miserable as they went further and further away, and this small camp became their safe haven.

Later, there were so many people that the tent could no longer accommodate them, so only non-commissioned officers and above could take shelter inside. However, the lower-ranking soldiers could still be given a rice ball with the aroma of lard and a small cup of steaming drink.

"Damn it! Why does the soldier's cup smell like alcohol?" the major questioned the person in front of him unhappily.

"Sir, it's very humid here after nightfall. If the soldiers don't drink something to warm their bodies, they will get sick. I've already diluted the water in it, so it won't be a problem." The guy opposite answered respectfully, and then carefully handed over an aluminum military water bottle.

"There is no water in your kettle. It is a specialty from Niigata. I was reckless. Please forgive me!" After saying this, the guy with an Osaka accent bowed deeply, as if he had really committed a serious crime. "Soga~" The major took the kettle, smelled the unique fragrance brought by the fermented rice, and the expression on his face gradually eased.

"This won't happen again! You understand!"

"Hai!"

The specialty from the Niigata region was indeed extraordinary. The major had never tasted this kind of fine wine even when he was in the country, so he couldn't help but order a little more than he had originally intended to take a sip.

This wine...

The feeling of being tipsy soon came over him, and the Major's vision began to blur...

Plop! Plop! Plop!!

The sound of soldiers falling kept coming from inside and outside the tent. Only the alert Lieutenant Aoki drank a little bit of the cup and felt the abnormal lieutenant beside him reaching for the pistol at his waist.

bump! !

A blow of a stick to the back of the lieutenant's head directly replaced the effect of the alcohol.

Finally, everything around returned to calm, leaving only the sound of raindrops dripping on the beach.

"He, what did you feed them?" Edson walked out of the woods, stretched out his foot and kicked the body of Major Oka Akinosuke lying on the ground, and found that the other party had no reaction.

"The purified products of Datura, Sassafras, and Aristolochia mixed together can make people comatose. The disadvantage is that it takes time to take effect." He Chi picked up the wine jug that was thrown on the ground and shook it with his hand. "But it's different if you drink some wine."

"God! I swear, next time we have a meal together, I will let you take the first bite." Edson rolled his eyes.

The colonel then looked at the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and asked, "What should we do with these guys? Should we..."

The colonel made a shooting motion with his index finger.

"Go in groups of two and carry these guys away. Maybe some of them have important information, or can be transformed into new Japanese national army soldiers..." He Chi's words ultimately determined the fate of these Japanese soldiers.

Two companies of American soldiers rushed over, lifted up the unconscious soldiers two by two, and marched into the jungle in a mighty procession. Some of them found it troublesome and did not even do the most basic binding.

These people were stopped by He Chi.

"All soldiers must be tied up at least twice, and must not be untied before reaching the finish line!" He Chi instructed everyone very seriously.

"Don't have any communication with the prisoners. If anyone wakes up early or makes any sound, kill him on the spot!" He Chi's eyes were extremely cold when he said these words.

"Don't you think we are being too cautious?" Edson said, looking at the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground without any resistance.

"No, this is just the experience gained from previous lessons." He Chi sighed and looked at the dark sea, not knowing what he was thinking.
