Dooby followed the
Australian officer through the rows of wood and stone buildings. The
place had been targeted be the Japanese 13th Armor Corps. And they
shot up everything in their way, no one had been spared, the women
and children had been gun down when they tried crossing the Aguin
River. But Dooby didn't feel any sympathy for em'. Why? Because
they were all Gookes, no matter how you slice it, they're dogs, and
need to be killed. By someone, Dooby didn't care who.
"Sergeant Dooby." Called the officer from inside his wool tent,
"come here." His tone had eased from professional battalion
commander to a calm, comfortable man.
"Yes, Sir?" Dooby
entered the tent. The Major sat in his oak rocking chair, reading
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
"Well… there's no way to tell
you this easily. So, the Japanese 2nd Engineer Battalion has blown
the port docks… seventeen K.I.A., thirty-six wounded, and five
M.I.A." The Major slapped his book together, and laid it on the
wooden desk that sat behind him.
"Were the men from 8th
Company?" Dooby reluctantly asked. Shortly after he dropped his
head, and stared at his feet.
"Yes." The Major replied, "but
we're gonna have a chance at reprisal."
