"Why did this cow fall to death?"
The captain pretended to be shocked and rushed over.
The cow was still struggling.
"Captain, look how pitiful this cow is, it's still struggling."
One of the new recruits couldn't bear it.
"Yeah, it's too painful. Let's end the pain."
The captain immediately took out his gun and shot the cow to death.
"I'll pick the best piece later and send it to the division commander, and everyone will share the rest."
The captain put away his gun and said.
"Long live!"
A group of soldiers cheered.
The cheers of the soldiers soon attracted the attention of others.
Immediately, messengers from other regiments came to inquire about the news and inquire about the situation.
The soldier who attacked the cow looked proud and began to proudly brag to the others about how he had attacked the cow.
"Search and fall to death~"
A group of messengers figured out the situation and immediately sent the news back.
When the other teams heard this, they immediately became energetic.
Since you can eat beef as long as the cow "accidentally falls to death", why should you be polite?
Anyway, the cattle were bought by the military department, so they didn’t have to spend any money.
If you don't eat, you won't eat.
So, throughout the morning, cows kept "accidentally falling to death."
There were even more than a dozen cows that fell to their death while rushing for lunch.
When dinner started at noon, the smell of beef was everywhere in the army.
Mou Kou looked at the soup pots set up everywhere, wondering what was going on.
However, looking at the dozen pieces of grilled beef in front of me, which were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, I chose to shut up.
This beef is so delicious.
“It won’t be an example next time, and it won’t be an example next time.”
Mou Kou ate the beef with big mouthfuls.
After finishing the beef, Mou Kou urged everyone to start on their way.
When they were on the road, everyone discovered a problem.
That is, they have eaten the cows, but what about the supplies for the cows and camels?
Each cow and horse carries hundreds of kilograms of weapons and medicine.
"Divide it one by one and let each person carry a little. Whoever eats the most will carry the most."
The wing commander gave the order.
A group of soldiers opened the ammunition boxes one after another, and each person received a portion of ammunition to carry on the road again.
After enjoying the sweetness at noon, when it was almost time for dinner, another large number of cattle fell to their deaths.
“It won’t be an example next time, and it won’t be an example next time.”
Mou Kou said with a smile.
On the one hand, he doesn't think the death of a few cows is anything.
Anyway, I brought so many cows this time that I could eat enough to cover the whole rainforest.
There is no need to worry about everything.
Anyway, it's reimbursed by the military, so you don't have to spend any money yourself.
On the other hand, the beef is so delicious.
The westward marching corps once again had an all-ox feast, and the whole army fell into a joyful atmosphere.
Of course, one cow is not enough to feed a team, so it can only be used as a side dish, and the staple food is rice balls.
These rice balls had been carried by soldiers for a day and were soaked with sweat. In addition, the smell of sea water from the leaves and the smell of salt water from the rice balls made them sour and smelly, mixed with a fermented smell.
Forget about the taste.
If there was only rice balls, they might just eat them.
But when compared with the fragrant beef soup, it becomes even more obvious that the rice ball in my hand is dog food.
Many Japanese soldiers forced themselves to swallow the rice balls.
After eating the rice balls, they all felt bitter and astringent in their mouths, and felt uncomfortable with thirst.
They all went to the stream to drink water.
Many people even lay down by the river and had a good drink.
After eating and drinking, a group of soldiers who had been tired for a long day were ready to go to bed.
Then, they discovered something embarrassing.
That is because it is too humid in the rainforest.
Now is the rainy season again, and it will rain from time to time. The bedding they carry is soaked.
It doesn't work at all.
Moreover, at night, all kinds of large mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, and centipedes crawl out, looking for food.
Many people were bitten by mosquitoes before they understood what was going on.
The mosquitoes in these rainforests are extremely venomous. One bite will cause a big swelling.
And Wei Wu didn't prepare any medicine for them at all. These soldiers could only keep scratching. Some bags were scratched, and they were still very uncomfortable.
The Japanese soldiers who were tortured by mosquitoes could only take turns sleeping.
One group of people sleeps and another group is responsible for driving away mosquitoes.
Early the next morning, a staff officer reported to Mou Kou worriedly.
"Commander, more than 300 soldiers in the army have typhoid fever, more than 200 soldiers have dysentery, and dozens of soldiers have unknown illnesses. They have high fevers and are unable to move."
"how so?"
Mou Kou frowned.
More than 600 non-combat casualties were lost in one night, which was not a good sign.
"Commander, how about we go back and prepare the medicine again before setting off?"
the staff officer asked cautiously.
"no!"
Mou Kou decisively rejected the advice of his staff.
He even boasted about Haikou to Wei Wu, but after entering the rainforest, he returned dejected in just one day. Will he still hold his head high in front of Wei Wu in the future?
"How can a mere mosquito defeat the soldiers of the Japanese Empire? Cheer up and keep moving forward."
"If you can't walk, just carry them on a stretcher. They will die in the Indian subcontinent!"
Mou Kou issued the order.
The army set out again.
The morale on the second day was obviously much lower than the previous day.
Many people didn't sleep well last night and felt groggy when walking.
When the cattle were killed at noon, a regiment made a mistake and killed two cattle at once.
But the dead cows could not be resurrected, so the soldiers of this regiment could only eat two cows with tears in their eyes.
After this incident was discovered by people from other alliances, it seemed that the door to a new world had opened.
It turns out that the number of cows killed by a fall is not limited to one cow per meal.
Does that mean we can achieve freedom of beef?
All-you-can-eat beef?
This thought lingered in the hearts of all soldiers.
When people are not awake, they do stupid things.
Especially when these soldiers didn't sleep well all night and walked all day during the day, they were exhausted and their temper became extremely bad.
During dinner that day, the number of cows that fell to death increased dramatically.
The most exaggerated one was that eight cows fell to death.
Everyone's face was shiny after eating.
After eating and drinking enough, these soldiers really didn't have the energy to drive away the mosquitoes and fell asleep directly.
As we all know, mosquitoes prefer to bite animals with strong body odor.
These soldiers ate beef, which in itself easily aggravated body odor.
In addition, there was no way to take a bath in the rainforest, and after walking for another day, everyone smelled sour.
This attracts the mosquito's attention even more.
Over the course of one night, these soldiers were bitten again.
Many people are woken up by itching.
On the second day, the number of sick soldiers tripled to more than 1,800.
However, yesterday's more than 600 patients did not get better. On the contrary, their condition worsened because there was no medicine.
Mou Kou had no choice but to move on.
