My own war game

Chapter 260 Big Trouble

"He, you don't want to poison me, do you?"

"If so, do you have any suggestions?" He Chi did not comment, but asked the colonel a question.

Ederson thought about it and said carefully, "Well, although your previous performance is obvious to all, I really don't think this is a good idea."

"Oh? Why is this?"

"Look." The colonel pointed to the water source in front of him. "This pond is quite large. If we want to poison it, the dose will have to be quite large."

"Besides, this is running water. Once someone on the other side is poisoned, they will immediately discover the problem. The Japanese only need to drain the old water source and fill it with new water, and all previous efforts will be in vain."

He Chi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, so I didn't intend to poison you at all."

"What's in that bag?"

"Let me show you." He Chi asked the native to open the bag, and the colonel stuck his head in to look.

A foul and corrupt smell filled the air.

"Damn! What's in here?!" The colonel quickly covered his nose.

"I mixed horse feces, chopped earthworms and some corrupt substrate together, and I had someone heat it up." He Chi deliberately stood a little further away before speaking.

"Are you trying to pollute their water supply? How is that any different from poisoning them?"

"Of course it's different," He Chi re-tied the bag and explained, "As we say in the East, no matter how powerful a hero is, he can't stand three bouts of diarrhea. This kind of thing won't kill you, but it can make you lose your fighting power."

"Diarrhea is not as noticeable as poisoning, so the scope of impact can be maximized. In addition, there may be many factors that cause diarrhea, and they may not necessarily suspect that it is the water source."

"The most important thing is that even if they discovered the problem at the beginning, we would not suffer any losses, right?" He Chi spread his hands to the colonel.

After listening to this, the colonel thought for a long time, then put his arm around the Oriental man's shoulders and whispered, "He, I will pay you back the hundred dollars I owe you as soon as possible, so promise me that you will never use such extreme methods against your own people, okay?"

“How soon is as soon as possible?”

"When the next allowance arrives."

"OK! I promise."

"Hey, man, you don't sound sincere at all."

In a relaxed atmosphere, several bags of "gifts" with seriously excessive levels of E. coli were sunk into the pond. Because the bags were filled with stones, they sank to the bottom, and people outside could not see the difference unless all the water inside was emptied.

"Shall we go back next?" the colonel asked tentatively.

"No, let's observe and see if there is any chance to expand the results of the battle." He Chi picked up the telescope again in the woods.

For three consecutive days, Major General Kawaguchi felt unwell. What was even more depressing was that every time he wanted to take a break, the field toilet for officers was always full.

How could a major general of the empire and his subordinates go to the toilet to fight for it? Therefore, the major general could only endure it until the evening when he could barely solve the problem.

Finally, someone discovered something unusual.

"Mr. Nanmu, what can I do for you? I have some urgent business to attend to." The major general finally found that there was no one in the toilet, but was stopped by the army doctor Nanmu Youping. "I'm sorry, sir, to bother you at this time, but it's really urgent." Nanmu bowed and stepped forward and said anxiously, "More than 30% of our soldiers have diarrhea to varying degrees, and the serious ones have already shown symptoms of dehydration."

"What?" The major general realized at this moment that his discomfort was not an isolated case, but a very common situation in the military camp.

Doctor Nanmu continued to report, "Sir, there is a high possibility of a large-scale outbreak of dysentery in the army. If this situation is left unchecked, people will die."

"Have you found the reason?"

"It's hard to say. It could be spoiled food, unclean drinking water, or mosquito bites. But we don't have the conditions to conduct on-site testing right now." Dr. Nanmu said helplessly.

"Then are there any countermeasures?" This is what the lieutenant general is most concerned about now.

"Throw away bad food, try to eat fresh food, collect rainwater, boil it and drink it, and then greatly improve hygiene..."

"Soga~" The major general pondered for a moment. Military doctor Nanmu's method sounded simple, but it was actually very difficult.

Food has become scarce, and if he throws away some of it, he doubts whether he can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from Commander Hyakutake. Collecting rainwater is no problem, but the drinking water for 5000 people cannot be solved by rainwater alone.

Improving hygiene requires increasing daily exercise, but the soldiers are already weak.

Although it was difficult, Nanmu's suggestion was implemented to a certain extent. A small amount of obviously spoiled food was discarded, some of the collected rainwater was distributed to seriously ill soldiers, and Dr. Nanmu carried a small amount of Horning with him. Thanks to his efforts, dysentery was prevented from continuing to spread.

But the problem arose again. The soldiers who drank distilled rainwater were slowly recovering, but new soldiers fell ill in other places. Only those who were completely isolated from the water source would not be affected by dysentery.

It was not until this time that the Japanese army realized that there was a problem with the water.

And the damn U.S. military actually launched a sneak attack at this time.

Woo! ! !
boom! ! ! !

A rifle grenade flew out of the woods and exploded accurately in the Japanese camp. When the guards rushed to search for the attackers, they only found a few shadows that quickly disappeared into the woods.

The power of this rifle grenade is very small, and under normal circumstances, the explosion range is even smaller than that of a hand grenade, but the attackers were not targeting these soldiers.

Looking at the broken wooden boards and flying filth on the ground, Major General Kawaguchi angrily slashed in the air with his sword.

This is the fourth toilet that has been destroyed in the past two days. The damn Americans not only polluted the water source in the camp, but even the toilets were not spared.

Every time these guys aimed at the wooden toilet, they would turn around and run after firing a few grenades. It was impossible to catch them and it was difficult to defend against them.

In the end, the staff officer even came up with the bad idea of ​​placing mines on the side of the toilet.

So many people have diarrhea and the toilets are destroyed and people can't hold it in. This is not a problem that can be solved by willpower or discipline, so it is inevitable that the soldiers release stress anywhere.

For a time, the area around the camp was filled with a foul stench. The sentries had to pay attention to the conditions under their feet when patrolling. As a result, the sanitary conditions deteriorated seriously, which further contributed to the spread of dysentery.

In the end, Major General Kawaguchi, who had not yielded to the American howitzers, gave up the so-called "tactical guidance" and directly sent a message to his immediate superior, "I need reinforcements! Medicines! Clean water! Food! We are short of everything here!"

The reply he received was, "Captain Momotake Haruyoshi and reinforcements will arrive within three days!"
