War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1446 Medical Soldier

On the edge of the withered jungle, the firefight continued. The three guards were imprisoned by blood transfusions next to the wounded, but they could only watch helplessly as Angus, who was not sure whether he was a friend or not, was busy with his work outside the trench. Job.

Under the cover of fire from Platoon Leader Wild Boar George and others, Angus hid behind a large tree that had died due to defoliant, and quickly bandaged the wound of a white wounded man hiding there.

"Cover!" Angus shouted towards Platoon Leader George and others hiding in the trench, and waved at the same time.

After receiving the signal, Platoon Leader Wild Boar George immediately took the lead in starting fire suppression. For a while, all kinds of light and heavy firepower also covered the jungle.

Seeing the opportunity, Angus picked up the wounded man and ran towards the trench at the risk of his life.

However, just as the two of them were about to jump into the trench, Angus jumped forward and fell to the ground. The wounded man he was carrying also fell into the trench like a gourd.

"what--!"

At the edge of the trench, Angus screamed as he fell. A ball of blood mist also burst out from his thigh!

"cover me!"

Before Platoon Commander Wild Boar George could finish his words, he had already climbed out of the trench, grabbed Angus's strap, and dragged him into the trench.

Almost immediately, the roar of helicopters came from far to near. Another group of Huey helicopters flew over from a distance. After a round of fire suppression on the surrounding area, they landed on the landing field marked with flares.

Soon, the three guardsmen, as well as the three wounded T team members who were connected to the three of them with blood transfusions, and Angus, who had only been briefly tied to stop the bleeding, were all sent in by platoon sergeant Brad and several soldiers. into one of the helicopters.

Without any communication at all, the three Weiran people, who had only been here for 20 minutes, flew into the sky on a helicopter as "plasma bags" and quickly left the battlefield.

"Where are we going?"

Angus asked, shouting, inserting a stick of morphine into his thigh.

"Of course it's Da Nang," Platoon Sergeant Brad lit up a cigarette and puffed out the smoke.

"Don't you have to stay and help Captain George?"

As Wei Ran spoke, he had already pulled out the blood transfusion tube connected to his arm. The blood transfusion tube looked like it was transfusing blood, but in fact, when Angus inserted the needle, he only inserted it into the blood vessel at first. When it was fixed later, the needle had already passed through the blood vessel.

In other words, except for the little blood held in the transfusion tube, his blood did not flow into the wounded person's body at all. And he believed that this was definitely not Angus' "hand wave", and 99% of it was intentional!

"Victor, you"

"Help you, or you'll die."

Wei Ran didn't wait for Angus to finish. He had already moved to his side while explaining, and reached out to take off the medical bag from his waist.

"you"

"I used to be a medic at Camp Seabees."

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken out a pair of scissors, asked Angus to lie down on the cabin floor, and skillfully cut open the pants around the wound. After some preparation, he began to suture and bandage.

"If I had known you were a medic earlier, I should have left you on the front line to help." In the cabin, Brad said loudly, half seriously, half jokingly.

"That's why I started bandaging him now."

While Wei Ran was busy, he also asked in a joking manner, "Sergeant Platoon Brad, why don't you stay on the front line to help?"

"I want to escort you back," Brad replied matter-of-factly. "This was specially arranged by Platoon Leader George. He was worried about an accident on the way back."

“Platoon Commander George is so considerate”

Wei Ran pretended not to notice Angus secretly tapping his calf with his fingers, and helped him take care of the wound. Then he returned to where he was just sitting, and asked Zach to help him take it. The blood transfusion needle that was stuck was inserted into the blood vessel again, and then the blood vessel was punctured while the needle was being fixed.

"Were you really a medical soldier before?" Angus glanced at the blood transfusion tube on Wei Ran's arm and asked curiously.

"Of course" Wei Ran said nonchalantly about the transfusion tube wrapped with tape on his arm.

"Since you were also a medic, I'll give this to you."

Angus said, unhooking the medical bag hanging on the other side of his waist and handing it to Wei Ran, "I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the hospital for a few months. I hope you don't need this medical bag."

"I accept this gift from you"

Wei Ran said, reaching out to take the medical bag handed over by the other party. As if he still didn't notice the other party's fingers poking his calf, he hung it on his pistol belt and secretly looked at the helicopter. .

In addition to the positive and negative pilots, five wounded including Angus, and three bodyguards, there were four "stretcher bearers" led by Brad and two machine gunners guarding the hatch.

He casually glanced at the Swedish K submachine gun with a folding stock in Brad's hand, and then looked at the other four stretcher bearers.

The weapons of these stretcher bearers are also mainly submachine guns. In addition to the M16 carried on his shoulders, one of them even has a K50 submachine gun with a telescopic steel stock that is more difficult for guerrillas to use!

to suffer

When Wei Ran looked away, his heart began to sink. These people were not so much worried about accidents on their way as they were planning to cause accidents for them on the way!

Wu Ran glanced at Angus who seemed to be winking at him. Wei Ran was about to give a response when Li Youfu reached for his backpack rack.

"do not move!"

Before Li Youfu could reach the backpack rack, Brad picked up his submachine gun and pointed it at the three of them!

Immediately afterwards, the four stretcher bearers sitting around him also raised their respective submachine guns!

"Mr. Brad, I just wanted to grab some film from my bag."

Li Youfu slowly let go of his backpack frame and the French submachine gun fixed on the backpack frame, "I am not an enemy."

"of course not"

Brad flicked the cigarette butt, patted the driver's shoulder, and kept saying, "I have asked Angus to go to you more than once to ask for those photo negatives. You are so disappointing."

"Stop kidding Brad"

Zach said angrily, "Are you planning to kill us just for some photos taken while playing with women?"

"of course not"

Brad waved, and one of the stretcher-bearing soldiers came over and roughly took off the backpacks on Wei Ran and Zach's backs, and then pulled Li Youfu's backpack frame over.

"Brad, tell your people to put their guns down."

Zach, who raised his hands, let the stretcher bearer search him and said helplessly, "The film is yours, how about letting us go?"

"Of course, of course we will let you go."

Brad said, having already opened Zach's butt bag, took out the interview notebook, opened it and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You are actually planning to do a positive report on Team T ? Even the press release has been written?”

"I'm even planning to invite the Saigon press group to come to the Cowshed Camp for a joint interview."

Zach simply put down his raised hands and said angrily, "But your attitude towards your friends makes me have to reconsider this matter!"

"Mr. Zack, it's better to raise your hands again."

Brad closed the interview note and stuffed it into his pocket, "I will help you send this press release back to CBS. Of course, I will also help you select the photos taken."

"So you're still going to kill us?" Zach asked with a frown.

"It depends on how you plan to cooperate with us."

Brad patted the notebook in his pocket and said, "Okay, where are those negatives?"

"In that backpack"

Zach raised his chin towards Li Youfu's backpack rack, "Troye, where did you put those negatives?"

"The waterproof rubber bag is at the bottom of the upper backpack." Li Youfu answered quickly with his hands raised.

"For your cooperation, I will let you go."

As Brad spoke, he had already opened the upper backpack of Li Youfu's backpack. After rummaging for a while, he took out an orange-yellow rubber waterproof bag.

After opening the bag and looking at the film seal tube and film box inside, Brad whistled happily, "Where are those photo negatives that were taken when we first interviewed us? Where did they go?"

"We didn't bring those with us," Li Youfu replied, "They are all in the wooden houses in the cowshed camp."

"You should have cooperated like this earlier."

Brad shook the sealed film tube in his hand and said, "I will put you temporarily in the stick-man's camp later. When I go back, I will make sure that these films are indeed yours."

"Brad, can you answer me a question?" Zach interrupted Brad loudly before he could finish speaking.

"What's the problem?" Brad threw the film seal in his hand back into the rubber waterproof bag and asked nonchalantly.

"Just pictures of people with sticks killing harder monkeys"

Zach asked with a trace of sarcasm, "I thought we were already friends, but I didn't expect you to point a gun at me for those yellow-skinned Asians." "It's precisely because we are friends that I have to take to these things.”

Brad patted the orange rubber waterproof bag at his feet, "This will destroy our friendship."

"You're right about that," Zach snorted, "There are already cracks in our friendship."

"I will apologize to you properly when we get to the Hambang Man's camp."

As Brad spoke, he took off the Nikon half-frame camera hanging around Zach's neck, looked at it, and hung it around his own neck, "I will also take some photos for you then."

"So today's battle is also prepared for us?" Wei Ran asked his inner doubts.

"of course not"

Brad snorted disdainfully, then turned to look at Angus who was lying at his feet, "Trainer, why do you want to take them with you? I had already planned to entertain them in the camp."

“I brought Zach and the others back from Da Nang.”

Angus said angrily, "I don't want to cause trouble for myself. Wouldn't it be more inconspicuous to take them to the battlefield and let them die heroically on the battlefield?"

"You are such a devil," Brad sighed.

"My ass is not clean either"

Angus glanced at Wei Ran without any trace, "Brad, what are you going to do with them? I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

"Leave it at the Hambang people's camp first."

Brad waved his hand, "Didn't I just say that I will let them go back to Da Nang after I confirm that they have honestly handed over the negatives of the photos."

"So these are friends?" Wei Ran patted the medical bag on his waist and mocked deliberately.

"That medical bag is a thank you for stitching and bandaging my wound," Angus said nonchalantly, "You can give it back to me if you don't need it."

"Angus, you're a complete bastard," Brad said, laughing.

"Aren't you going to collect their weapons?"

Angus said, pointing to the grenade launcher still hanging on Li Youfu's shoulder, "My grenade launcher is still on his shoulder."

"No, no, no, let's leave the weapons to them."

Brad looked outside the cabin and said, "Our helicopter has begun to lower its altitude. We will land at Hanbang Camp soon. I guess they will not dare to shoot and kill people here. Of course, I do Very much looking forward to them”

"Da da da!"

Before Brad could finish his words, a dense barrage of firepower mixed with tracer bullets was fired from the withered jungle directly below the helicopter!

Before the gunfire could reach his ears, Wei Ran could only watch the co-pilot of the helicopter being stabbed diagonally through the body by a bullet!

"RPG! RPG!"

The machine gunner on the left hatch shouted heartbreakingly, and at the same time vigorously shook the weapon in front of him, trying to aim at the rocket flying from under him!

"boom!"

Just when the helicopter rolled over and tried to take off under the control of the only remaining pilot, the rocket also exploded!

A little earlier than this, Wei Ran had already grasped the armrest when he saw the co-pilot who was shot by an anti-aircraft machine gun.

While the helicopter flew sideways, the rockets exploded, and everyone in the cabin subconsciously deflected with the inertia. When they even tried to curl up to avoid the explosion, he also pulled out the pistol from his waist!

"boom!"

In the two almost overlapping gunshots, Angus and Wei Ran, who were lying on the stretcher, pulled the trigger at Brad in no particular order!

"Bang bang bang!"

There were three more gunshots, and Wei Ran and Angus each pulled the trigger at the T-Team soldiers beside each other. Zach, who was a little late, also pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the other soldier. The T-Team soldier who fell on him pulled the trigger on his chest!

"What are you doing!"

The pilot, who was definitely "under attack from both sides", almost shouted in despair, "The engine is damaged! There is insufficient lift, we need to make an emergency landing!"

After looking at Angus, the two "medics" in the cabin raised their weapons again amid the pilot's roar.

By the time the two of them had killed the remaining T-Team soldier and the two door gun machine gunners, Zach and Li Youfu had each used their pistols to kill the four wounded lying at their feet.

"Aren't you going to explain?"

Wei Ran asked Angus loudly from the helicopter that was lowering its altitude while spinning continuously, "There's still enough time!"

"If you can survive, take those grenades! Especially the No. 4 deer shells inside!"

Angus said, pointing to the medical kit just given to Wei Ran, "The photos taken by the previous medic and the current medic of Team T. All the crimes against humanity committed by Team T are hidden in those 4 The bullet is inside!"

Before the three guards could speak, Angus continued to speak loudly, "There is also the medical bag. The camera left by the previous medic is in there! It's your turn! What are you going to do?!"

"Gentlemen, no one cares about me?!"

In the helicopter pilot's seat, the only remaining pilot, whose face was covered with blood, almost collapsed and shouted, "Our plane is going out of control!"

"Shut up! That's your job!"

"Fly to Da Nang, or I'll kill you!"

"Jason, if you don't want to die, think about what to say on the radio!"

Zach, Wei Ran, and Angus each shouted and gave different responses, but at the same time, the three of Wei Ran threw the bodies out of the cabin to help reduce the weight of the helicopter - this method may be useful.

“My camera is bloody!”

With an unlucky look on his face, Zach took off the half-frame Nikon from Brad's neck and hung it around his own neck, then pushed Brad's body down.

"How about giving me your camera?" Angus yelled. "I don't care if it's stained with blood."

"It's yours!"

Zach happily took off the half-frame Nikon that had just been hung around his neck and hung it around Angus's neck. Amidst the continuous cursing of the remaining driver, he asked loudly, "Angus, what did you do? You got those things? Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”

"Discovered by accident!"

Angus seized the moment and yelled back, "I always have to know your attitude!"

"We're going to make a crash landing! We're going to make a crash landing! Mom! I don't want to die!"

As the pilot Jason cried out in panic, the belly of the Huey helicopter, which was dragging thick smoke, began to scrape against the treetops. Wei Yan and others in the cabin couldn't help but grab whatever they could. s things.

"Clap clap clap!"

In a series of slaps and bangs that made people feel chills from their tail bones, the helicopter's rotors collided with the withered treetops, and the fuselage began to roll.

At a certain moment, Angus, who was lying on a stretcher, slid out of the cabin with a bright smile and a bright smile that was missing a front tooth.

Almost at the same time, the windshield of the cockpit cracked, and a thick branch penetrated the pilot's chest. The helicopter, which was almost like meat on a barbecue stick, rolled on a tree branch. It hit the ground with a "bang" sound.

"Are you...are you still alive?"

In the upside-down helicopter cabin, Wei Ran avoided the fuel dripping from his head and asked with a grin on his face.

"alive"

Zach, who subconsciously held the two cameras on his chest, sat up unsteadily.

"I cough! I'm alive too."

Li Youfu, whose face was doused with fuel, replied with difficulty. In addition to holding two cameras, he also held the grenade launcher and the ammunition bag that once belonged to Angus.

But compared to what was protected in his arms, one of his legs seemed to have been broken.

"Let's get out of here"

Wei Ran said that he had climbed out of the cabin, and together with Zach, who seemed to have a concussion, he struggled to drag Li Youfu out of the cabin, whose body was full of fuel.

"call!"

Almost immediately, the helicopter burst into flames that almost affected the three of them!
