I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 783: The Japs Chase into Savage Mountain

When the Japs were chasing into the Wild Man Mountains, they were also afraid that supplies would be difficult to come by.

Their superior officers simply distributed the food directly to individual Japanese soldiers.

They were exhausted after a 50-kilometer march all day and wanted to reward themselves with a good meal in the evening.

I found that the compressed biscuits I had just taken a bite of at noon had been soaked by the tropical rain and turned into a puddle of dough with green hair.

Amidst the curses of "Bagayalo", there were still some rational Japanese soldiers who threw away all the "garbage" in their hands.

After all, they had received wilderness survival training and knew that they could not eat this thing, otherwise they would die from diarrhea.

The Japanese brigade commander Uchida had no better solution and had to distribute the few remaining stocks to the soldiers.

He could only call the division headquarters and ask them to airdrop food to their brigade.

While he ordered his rear guard to look back to see if they could find something to eat, bad news came one after another.

The communications officer said anxiously: "Report to the brigade commander, something terrible has happened.

All of our long and short wave military radios are no longer usable because their parts have become damp.”

"Bakayaro, why didn't you take protective measures in advance? Did you cause the brigade's radio station to be damaged?"

"Snapped!"

"Hi!"

After receiving a slap in the face, the communications staff officer secretly expressed his helplessness.

In order to ensure that the radio stations can be used normally, all but one radio station that needs to be used in time is placed outside.

All other radio stations were tightly wrapped with three layers of oilcloth.

The commander was afraid that the weapon would become unusable due to moisture, thus affecting the combat of his own brigade.

Who would have thought that this tropical rainforest would be so terrible that it could not only directly destroy food.

Even a precision instrument like a radio can be completely destroyed by you.

Now the Japanese brigade commander has realized the dangers of the tropical rainforest.

But he will never admit that he made a mistake, and he will never admit defeat.

In fact, if he had been more attentive and led the brigade to retreat overnight, perhaps it would have been a good ending.

However, the brigade commander's stubbornness not only brought suffering to himself, but also to his Uchida Brigade.

The very next morning, Brigade Commander Uchida suddenly heard a noise outside his tent.

After a while, his adjutant, Captain Ogawa, ran in with a pale face and reported to him.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please go and have a look. There is something wrong at the sentry post outside."

"What? Did something happen at the sentry post? Did they encounter an enemy attack? Why didn't I hear any gunfire?"

When he walked outside, he saw dozens of bodies covered with white cloth lying on the ground.

He was just about to lower his head and reach out to lift the white cloth covering the corpse when he was stopped by his adjutant.

The adjutant winked at Uchida, then handed him a small wooden stick without saying anything.

Brigadier General Uchida hesitated for a moment, but finally took the stick and used it to push away the corpse-covering step.

The first Japanese soldier's body was pale, as if all the blood in his body had been sucked dry by something.

Looking at his body, which was covered with leeches, Uchida finally knew the cause of his death.

When the sentry was on guard at night, countless leeches crawled onto his body without him noticing.

It was just like that. This Japanese soldier was sucked dry of blood by leeches and died without knowing it.

Uchida suppressed the intense discomfort in his heart and used the wooden stick in his hand to lift the white cloth covering the second corpse.

With a "vomit" sound, Uchida finally couldn't help vomiting out the acid churning in his stomach.

What he saw was still a dead body of a Japanese soldier.

Or rather, it is a skeleton that is about to be eaten clean by man-eating ants.

Uchida: "Baka, what's going on? Who arranged the sentries yesterday? Didn't they take any measures at all?"

The adjutant put aside the idea that "the brigade commander is passing the buck again" and pointed his finger at the corpse that had been eaten by man-eating ants.

"Your Excellency, the dead body is the officer in charge of the sentry.

It was his guards who, not having seen him in the morning, took men out to look for him.

Finally we found his remains in an ant nest.

He must have fallen into an ant nest and passed out.

He didn’t even have time to shout for help before he was eaten by the man-eating ants.”

That was not all. At the edge of the military camp, they heard noise and gunfire, so they ran over to check.

"Report to the brigade commander, a giant python just ran into the barracks and swallowed one of our soldiers...

The Type 38 rifles and grenades in our soldiers' hands did no harm to the python at all.

Later, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was used to kill the python."

Uchida: "Nani? Swallowed? What does that mean?"

Brigadier General Uchida will soon know what this sentence means.

I saw a nearly six-meter-long snakehead lying loosely on the ground.

Its body was riddled with holes, apparently having been hit by several heavy machine guns.

The ground in the military camp was in a mess and many Japanese soldiers were dead.

Uchida could see that these soldiers who died in the battle were either strangled to death or swept to death by the giant python.

The most terrifying thing was that in the giant python's mouth, there was a Japanese soldier who had been swallowed half of his body.

That little Japanese soldier was really unlucky; his legs and body fell to the ground first.

His two arms, neck and head were still outside the snake's mouth.

Although he was dead, his eyes were still full of despair.

Plus the green liquid at the corners of his mouth, it was clear that he was frightened to death.

At this time, the military doctor also came to report that many soldiers in the barracks were bitten by poisonous snakes.

Uchida: "Where's the snake medicine? Where's the serum? Why don't you go and save them quickly? Why are you looking for me?"

The military doctor said, "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, all the medicines have been used up in the past few days. Please contact the community department now and ask them to send the medicines up, otherwise they will all die."

Good things don't come, bad things will come. At this time, the soldiers who went back to the Hukawng Valley to get supplies also returned.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, we rushed back to the Hukawng Valley overnight.

We discovered that several pontoon bridges we had left behind were destroyed by Allied planes yesterday evening.

The small team of soldiers guarding both sides had died along with the enemy long ago, so they did not report the incident in time.

When we arrived at the Hukawng Valley, we found that the river water was rising rapidly because of the heavy rain that had just fallen.

We were unable to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and our attempts to swim across were unsuccessful.

I left a squad of soldiers there to find a way to cross the river, and then I led the team back."

In the body: "Captain, how come only more than a hundred of you came back? Where did the rest go?"

Squadron Leader: “They, they all died because we were not safe along the way.

There are countless poisonous bees, venomous snakes and man-eating ants constantly attacking us.

That was more than a small team of soldiers. They did not die at the hands of the expeditionary force, but died in the mouths of insects.

It's really hateful, are these insects in Burma also anti-Japanese?"

Uchida did not blame the squadron leader for his nonsense, but let them rest.

Because what the squadron leader just said happened to be exactly what he was thinking.

Just when he was also thinking about it, the doctor who had just left came back.
