"Division Commander! Division Commander!"
"Something terrible has happened!"
Oda Naoto, already in a bad mood, was further angered by seeing his subordinates running around in a panic, as if they were being chased by dogs.
Enraged, he endured the discomfort in his stomach and slapped her.
With a snap,
The slap sent the communications soldier, who was running towards them, spinning him around two or three times.
"explain!"
"What's wrong!"
Seeing the murderous look on Oda Naoto's face, the communications soldier suppressed his fear and said...
"Commander Watanabe, stationed at the Mailut oil field, just sent a message,"
"His men lost their fighting ability due to mass diarrhea and vomiting,"
"Furthermore, they were attacked by a surprise attack from the northern army, so..."
The communications soldier watched as Oda Naoto's face grew darker and darker, his voice growing softer and softer until it finally disappeared completely.
But Oda Naoto, who was already unhappy,
And because he only got to the beginning of his sentence without giving a conclusion, his anger was about to explode, so he slapped him again.
With a snap,
The communications soldier then circled around a few more times in the opposite direction.
"So the Merut oil field was not only occupied by the northern army, but the soldiers were also captured!"
The communications soldier, having been slapped twice, learned his lesson.
This time, when faced with Naoto Oda's question, he directly gave all the answers.
"Yes, Division Commander,"
"According to the message relayed by Regiment Commander Watanabe, the Watanabe Regiment has a total of 1,800 men,"
"Including Commander Watanabe, only 78 people successfully broke through!"
"Furthermore, the northern army moved so quickly that even Regiment Commander Watanabe didn't have time to issue the order to destroy the oil field extraction equipment!"
A regiment of 1,800 men
1,722 people were captured alive by the northern army.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but Watanabe had diarrhea and vomiting, not died directly from poisoning!
Under these circumstances, how could he not issue the order to destroy the oil field extraction equipment!
Oda Naoto grew increasingly angry, his inner rage erupting like a volcano.
He unleashed his fury on the communications soldier in front of him, grabbing the soldier by the collar and slapping him repeatedly.
"Baka! Baka! Baka!"
"That piece of trash Watanabe Hikaru doesn't deserve to be a soldier of the Empire!"
The communications soldier who had been hit instantly looked like he was about to cry, and he changed his way of responding.
Why do I still have to get beaten up...?
Just as the communications soldier was on the verge of tears, a pale-faced staff officer strode over.
"Division Commander, something terrible has happened!"
"The scouts we sent out have just reported that the northern army that is confronting us is heading towards our position!"
"Judging from their expressions, they clearly know about our soldiers' situation!"
Upon hearing the chief of staff's words, Oda Naoto angrily cursed at the sky.
"Kumaji Inoue!"
"If I, Oda Naoto, don't wipe out your entire family, I'm not worthy of being a member of the Oda clan!!!"
After calming down, Oda Naoto knew that fighting the northern army under the current circumstances was tantamount to handing them a free lunch.
"Pass down the order: all soldiers with milder symptoms should lay landmines around and inside the camp!"
"We need to increase the density and use up all our inventory!"
"Hi!"
After the chief of staff left, Oda Naoto spoke to the communications soldier whose head he had whipped into a swollen mess.
"Send the message right now!"
"All troops must withdraw within twenty minutes!"
"Hi!"
The adjutant, watching the communications soldier leave clutching his backside, fell into a brief silence.
Given their current situation, whether or not to fight is no longer a question they're considering.
The question now is... in their current state, can they outrun the northern army that wants to make a name for themselves?
"Division Commander,"
"I believe that given the current situation, we must ask the American army for help!"
"Otherwise, given the soldiers' condition, even if they drive, they won't be able to outrun the northern army's pursuit!"
Doesn't Oda Naoto know this?
But he just took over the American position today and hasn't even fired a single shot at the northern army yet...
As a result, they fell into Gao Ren's trap and had to ask for help!
If this gets out, what will become of Oda Naoto's reputation?
Boom... Boom...
Just as Oda Naoto was pondering, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the camp.
Upon seeing this, Oda Naoto roared in anger.
"What's going on?!"
Three seconds later, someone reported back to Naoto Oda.
"Reporting to the division commander,"
"The soldier who was laying the mines was trembling from vomiting, which caused him to touch the fuse and trigger an explosion..."
"And this explosion triggered a nearby landmine, causing a secondary explosion..."
Upon hearing this, the adjutant, without waiting for Oda Naoto to launch into another tirade, preemptively spoke up.
"Division Commander!"
"We can regain our lost face, but what if the remaining soldiers are all captured alive by the northern army?"
"Then it wouldn't just be losing face, it would be losing your life along with the empire's reputation!"
Naoto Oda really wanted to curse, "Baka yarou!"
Or Gao Ren, may your whole family die!
But when the words were about to come out, he changed them to bringing out the satellite phone.
