Barryial and Transportation.

Matsuno sat in a small house with a desk and some papers with the casualties listed down, some collected arms, and ammunition. Matsuno smoked his cigarette before calmly looking at the papers before getting up and moving outside to check on his men.

Matsuno walked as he saw his men resting on the wall, some of them cleaning their bayonets or rifles, some fixing their uniforms. Matsuno nodded as he saw some men though suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder giving only empathy to them. He continued onward before walking to the Sergeant Major. The Sergeant Major looked as he saluted with Matsuno, replying with a salute before lowering, saying, "At, ease." The Sergeant Major nodded as he lowered his salute. Matsuno said to the Non Comissioned Officer, "I need you to get 4-8 men on horseback and scout them out for anymore of the Shogunate, tell the Sergeants to get the men to get ready to move out ASAP."

The Sergeant Major nodded as he replied before running down, "Yes, Sir." Matsuno then nodded before moving to the small house before looking on the map, looking the surroundings of Higashisatacho, seeing the south of it seeing the mountain and the river close to it. Matsuno smirked before moving out as he poked his head out, waving to the Sergeant saying, "GO GET THE MEN TO HEAD TO THE MOUNTAIN HIGASHISATACHO GET THEM TO SET UP ON THE DECENT SLOPPED AREAS AND GET THEM TO SET UP PARAPETS!"

The Sergeant nodded before rushing and telling the orders with the men quickly grabbing their rifles, heading to the mountain. Hours later, they were there digging in and such with finally about 7 men on horseback coming to the mountain. They came close to the tent that Matsuno was in before dismounting and quickly rushing to Matsuno.

Matsuno looked before one man stepped up, saying, "Sir!! The Shogunate.." The man panted before taking another breath speaking."They are coming at least 300-500 men at best!" Matsuno was in terror as he sighed before saying to him,"Get your men to mount up and get reinforcements.." The man nodded before quickly mounting up with his men and moving out.

Matsuno then rushed to the sappers before saying to the head man, "Get your men to set up some of the farming barbed wire and cluster it up around the perimeter quickly."

The head man of the sappers nodded before quickly placing on gloves and began to get his men with boxes filled with the barbed wire as they were confused entirely. They moved down before starting to emplace the barbed wire around, going at least 300 meters away from the parapets.

Infantry men from the parapets looked in confusion before sighing as they rested down in their new home for now.
