Team Jackal first echelon jumped to their first field assignment in the previous post.
The caption reads: 'It got so cold . . . you could shiver and blame it on the temperature.' Two minutes after this picture was snapped, the men of Team Jackal took the dive - wondering what they would find below.
What happened next? Hsian sent a plane to evacuate Welo and bring out 3 Chinese officers and the next Jackal echelon: Zarembo, Robichaud, and Zdrojewski.
Spoiler: The caption reads The mission ripped holes in Japanese communications and brought the night-traveling troop trains out into the open. One of the seven bridges was torn apart by a thousand coolies and carried away.
Back to the narrative:
(Note above the usual dysentery, worms, and fever. We have seen photo evidence of physical debilitation in previous posts, and we will see it again.)
. . . and? and?? AND?? . . . bloody feet.
The narrative will continue in Part 3.
Recall that this is scanned from the Saturday Evening Post of March 23, 1946. If you like, you can get your own copy on ebay, and have in your possession the same issue of the magazine that our EJZ and CAMZ cut to fit in the Photobook we are going through.
