Chapter 81: Hiding in a Cesspool
"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of explosions rang out, and the village was ablaze, walls collapsed, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and a light blue smoke with a strange pungent smell quickly rose and soon enveloped the entire village.
The location of the garbage well headquarters is in the northwest corner of the village, and the entrance to the headquarters is the road. Maybe the original owner of this house felt that it was convenient to get around the road, so he settled his home here, right?
When the first explosion sounded, the people in command knew that the village was being shelled! In General Garbage's headquarters, there is no shortage of such talents. Due to the principle that it is easier to be hit by shells when running out, the senior officers of the command decided that it was best to hide in this courtyard.
It's definitely not enough to just stay in the room, it's better to find a safer place to hide. I don't know who first remembered that this manure tank is good! The manure tank is not only spacious, but also covered with bluestone slabs more than a foot thick, which is a natural air-raid shelter!
After General Garbage chose this house as his headquarters, sappers came to clean up several of the manure tanks in the house. Although it may not be possible to clean up much at once, the inventory left by the original owner's family in the pool has been cleaned up.
"Gentlemen, please don't care about that little bit of face, in war, it's better to be able to leave your life behind than anything else! Think about it, those comrades who died on the battlefield, if they had the opportunity to hide in the dung pit, I bet everyone would be willing to go! General Garbage, please don't hesitate! I'll go down with you, it's a big deal that we'll get out quickly after the shelling! Can't the soldiers of the empire get over even a little stench? Is there anyone else you'd like to go with? ”
The person who took the lead in speaking was His Excellency the Chief of Staff of the Garbage Well Command, and no one dared to persuade General Garbage Well except him.
"Alright, let's go!" Seeing that the chief of staff was willing to go with him, Tokutaro Shikai had nothing else to say.
No matter how big the manure tank is, it can't accommodate hundreds of people in the headquarters. The chief of staff personally named five junior officers, and together with him, he accompanied General Garbage Well down to the largest manure tank in the house.
The reason why the chief of staff supported this proposal so much was because he personally went to see it after the sappers had cleaned it up, and he personally ordered the sappers to wash the pool with clean water several times. The smell can't be completely concealed, but it still looks pretty clean. Especially this rich man, probably the family is indeed rich, the manure tank is all made of bluestone around and at the bottom, and after brushing it, it looks really good. At the critical moment, it is completely acceptable to pinch your nose and hide in it for a few minutes.
Opened the small door and shone a flashlight inside, and the chief of staff was dumbfounded! What is that little half of the pool that is somewhat similar to the color of his military uniform? What are the liquids and solids in there? The chief of staff felt like vomiting.
The chief of staff only thought about what it looked like when it was cleaned, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers had been using it for the few days that the headquarters had lived here. Fortunately, all the things here are produced by the garbage well command itself, and it is not cheap for outsiders.
The faces of the officers who came with him were all white. Tokutaro Shikai also frowned. However, a general is a general, and it is not comparable to ordinary people. General Garbage frowned and hesitated slightly, then jumped in with a big stride!
"Poof!" With a bang, yellow water splashed everywhere. The general closed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, looking like he was enjoying himself.
The chief of staff looked at it, and got it! I can't think about it anymore! This is called cocooning and self-inflicted! Hold your breath and carefully move in step by step, he doesn't want to splash all over his body like a general! In fact, the difference between the whole body and half of the body in this case is really not too big.
As soon as the remaining five officers looked, the commander had all gone down, so let's go down too! So, the rest of the people carefully followed the chief of staff step by step into the pool. Maybe it's because the bluestone laid under the pool is of better quality and more finely polished? One of the young people slipped under his feet, and his body tilted to the side!
The frightened scream, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the officer next to him, and the officer he held was the chief of staff. Shaozuo, who slipped his foot, half of his upper body, all the way to his chest, sank into the pool. Fortunately, His Excellency the Chief of Staff had a relatively stable chassis, and there were two officers standing close to him to help him, so the Chief of Staff was not pulled down, that is, there were some suspicious objects splashed on his body.
Looking at the farce around him, General Garbage frowned impatiently again. The hapless Shao Zuo had already stood up, and the shape of his body was simply indescribable. This one was picking something from his body, and the few people next to him were quietly moving around, as if they wanted to stay away from him.
"Guys, it doesn't smell like a good place." Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was too dreary, General Shikai found a way to break the silence. In the end, it is a general, and it is time to remain stoic and optimistic! The surrounding officers looked at their general with admiration on their faces.
"Did anyone have a cigarette on him? Maybe smoking a cigarette will improve the air. General Shikai proposed to his subordinates.
"Yes, yes! I've got it here! Of the seven people present, four took out cigarette cases. Tokutaro Shikai doesn't usually smoke, and he doesn't have the habit of carrying cigarettes with him, so naturally someone next to him handed the shogun a cigarette roll and respectfully helped him light it.
The white smoke curled up, and the thick aroma of tobacco mixed with the stench of the manure tank was much better than the pure smell just now, at least it wouldn't make people's stomachs twitch all the time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't that good?" General Garbage Shoi spat out a puff of smoke and looked at his colleagues with a smile, "During the war, all kinds of difficult conditions will be encountered. As officers of the Empire, we must find ways to improve it, use it, and lead our soldiers to survive and complete difficult victories one after another! ”
"Hey!" The officers nodded in unison. The Shogun is amazing! In this situation, you can still think of how to win!
"Huh? The sound of the cannon seems to have stopped, huh? "The first thing I found was Tokutaro Shisai. While smoking and chatting, His Excellency the General did not forget for a moment the biggest crisis of the current Japanese army. As soon as the cannon fire stopped, General Garbage Well heard it!
"yes, sure enough, the cannon has stopped!" The officers looked at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.
"Now it seems that the environment of this manure tank is actually not so unacceptable! Ladies and gentlemen, are we going to finish smoking this cigarette here? Or do you want to get out now? General Garbage took another puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"I think we should get out right away! What kind of losses the enemy's shelling brought to the command, we do not know at all here! Your Excellency, for the sake of the victory of the Holy War, please lead us out at once! Shaozuo, who was soaked from the collar down, made a loud suggestion to the general.
