Mowing Duty Continued

While Marching  The machine with turning wheels pulled by a horse was amazingly rapid in mowing the grass.  Soviet soldiers kept urging us saying, "Let's get going! Hurry up!" They were totally indifferent to the Japanese soldiers' fatigue. Piles of grass were made one after another. We were terribly tired, but we were not allowed to take any break.
