blood of vietnam war

Chapter 5

Mosquitoes are flying everywhere, ants and bugs are crawling all over the place, and sometimes we are lucky enough to see a snake or two...

This is my first night here.Although I was exhausted from the day's fighting, I still couldn't sleep in such an environment.

Still let people live?Distraughtly, I waved my hands in the void around my head, but the mosquitoes in the dark seemed to ignore it at all, and they still buzzed frighteningly and helplessly beside my eardrums.At this time, I even hope that what I am facing is the enemy's bayonet and bullets, rather than these pervasive mosquitoes.

"Here!" At some point, a handsome soldier crawled up to me and handed me a bottle of something.

"What is this?" I was a little surprised, mainly because these soldiers didn't pay much attention to me before.

"Mosquito repellent oil!" The soldier raised his hand at me.

"Mosquito repellent oil?" I took the bottle with some doubts. I have to admit that I have never heard of any mosquito repellent oil, let alone used it...

At the insistence of the young soldier, I had no choice but to hesitantly open the bottle cap and smear the smelly liquid on my face and hands... If it was before, I wouldn't have put such a smelly thing on my face even if I was killed superior.But now, after experiencing the slaughter on the battlefield, after experiencing life and death, what else can't be done?

Not to mention, this weird-smelling thing is really useful, and there are fewer mosquitoes.Of course, it would be a lie to say that it can completely drive away mosquitoes, at least the mosquito repellent oil that can drive away mosquitoes as big as little fingers in Vietnam has not yet been produced.

"Thank you!" I nodded to the soldier.

"Why are you polite?" The soldier grinned, stretched out his hand to introduce himself, and said, "My name is Xu Guoliang, and all comrades call me a scholar!"

"Scholar?" I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard that, how could I introduce myself like that.

"The scholar is a high school student!" Xiao Shitou, who likes to be lively, came up to him and said, "He is the one with the highest diploma in our company! There are only two or three in the whole camp..."

"Oh! What can that be?" The scholar was a little shy. If it wasn't dark, I think he would be blushing with excitement right now.

I scratched my head and wondered if I told them I was an undergrad, wouldn't it be cool?Though all I learned in college seemed to be picking up girls.

Later I found out that the family conditions of the scholar are very good, his father is a factory director, and his mother is a township cadre. He could have obtained a solid job in China under the arrangement of his parents, but he broke up with his parents. Also go to the battlefield to contribute to the country.

"Comrade!" The scholar handed me a cigarette: "We all blame you a little..."

"I'm wrong?" I took the cigarette with some confusion.

"Yes!" The scholar nodded: "At first we thought you were a coward, but we didn't expect...you acted so bravely on the battlefield!"

While talking, the scholar took out a pack of matches from his pocket, struck a few but they couldn't ignite.

"Damn it!" The scholar cursed and muttered in a low voice, "I must have gotten wet during the war today..."

As he spoke, he called out to a soldier not far away: "Comrade, borrow a fire!"

The soldier happily climbed up, took out a pack of matches and waved them in front of us: "Comrade, let me borrow a cigarette..."

The scholar cursed in a low voice, and handed him a cigarette casually.He took the cigarette triumphantly, put it in his mouth, and struck the match with a bang.

Just as the scholar and I put our heads together, we suddenly felt something explode in front of us, and a mass of hot stuff splashed on our faces, and then we heard a gunshot...

I soon realized that it was the soldier's head that exploded in front of us, and that it was his blood that splashed on our faces.

That's right, seeing the head explode first, and then hearing the gunshot.I once heard the old man say that the bullets shoot out very fast, especially the sniper rifles of Yue Guizi... The speed of the bullet is two or three times the speed of sound, so when the Yue Guizi shoots at you, you often have not heard the gun The sound, the bullet has already hit your head.

From this point of view, those scenes in movies and TV that hear gunshots and then roll to avoid bullets are all nonsense.

I can't describe the shock I felt with the scholar at that time. We both stood there in a daze. I don't know what the scholar thought. Can't accept this fact.Thinking back now, I must have been taken aback by the huge contrast at the time.This is different from the feeling of facing the enemy and artillery fire on the battlefield. This is the kind that is completely unprepared.

"Get down!"

"There is a situation!"

"The devil is coming up!"

……

Gunshots rang out quickly, and I didn't know who was knocked down in the dark night.I only know that I didn't see a single enemy from the beginning to the end... I later learned that the other fighters didn't see where the enemy was, they just fought randomly.

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting!" The cry came from Scar, and he depressed a few guns that were still firing in a panic, crawled to the corpse in front of me, glanced at it and shook his head sighed.

Then before I could react, he grabbed the cigarette in my hand and threw it on the ground: "Listen to me! No one is allowed to light a cigarette, smoke a cigarette, or shoot indiscriminately. Listen! do you understand?"

"understand!"

"understand!"

……

Sparse responses came from the darkness.And I realized at this time that a soldier died under the gun of Yue Guizi's sniper just because he wanted to smoke a cigarette.

I couldn't help but think of what the old man once said to me: "The sharpshooters of Yue Guizi are called accurate. They all use sniper rifles with small mirrors. At night, they only need a spark the size of a cigarette butt... a bang shot, It's over!"

When I heard this at the time, I didn't take it seriously and yelled in my heart: "What kind of sharpshooter, he is called a sniper! You are so stupid!"

Thinking about it now, it would be great if I remembered what the old man said earlier, if I heard the old man's words in my heart...

With a sound of "wow", the scholar next to him burst into tears. He almost knelt down on the soldier's body and blamed himself: "Comrade, I'm sorry! I'm the one who killed you, so wake up..."

"Damn it!" Before the scholar finished speaking, Dao Scar slammed up and kicked the scholar to the ground, cursing: "Cry, crying is a bird! Look at your bear!"

"Platoon leader!" The scholar seemed to be crushed by the guilt in his heart. He knelt forward and hugged Scar's foot and said, "Platoon leader, punish me! It's all me, and I borrowed fire from him." Of...you punish me!"

"What can you do if you are punished?" Scar kicked the scholar away unceremoniously: "If you punish you, Xu Jian will be able to come back to life? If you are a child, I will kill a few more devils on the battlefield tomorrow to avenge Xu Jian!"

When Scar said this, the scholar became silent.

When the surroundings became quiet again, I felt that the atmosphere was a little different.I can't tell what it feels like, the soldiers seem to be all downcast like a defeated rooster.

I can understand this very well. Although we only lost one person in the battle just now, this is nothing compared to the number of casualties on the battlefield during the day.But the problem is...the Yue Guizi could see us, and he even managed to kill a soldier of our army, but we didn't even catch the Yue Guizi's shadow, and we were beating him in a panic...I'm afraid the Yue Guizi would be killed Sneak in the dark!

This is probably what the old man called morale. As a sniper, his role on the battlefield is often not how many enemies he can kill, but whether he can hit the enemy's morale at the right time.From this point of view, Yue Guizi, the sniper, was very successful.

If it was someone else, he might pass it if he endured it, or as Dao Scar said, he would just go to the battlefield tomorrow and kill a few more devils to take revenge.

But this is not me, my temper is that as long as someone offends me, I must get it back.What's more, I have to take part of the responsibility for Xu Jian's death.

Thinking of this, I didn't say much. After loading the rifle with a row of bullets, I aimed at the void in front of me.

Only then did I know that sometimes there is still a big gap between ideals and reality, because at this time the sky is covered with dark clouds and there is no moonlight, and it can be said to be pitch black in front of me. Said to find someone among them.

"Comrade!" Little Shitou probably sensed my intentions, so he leaned beside me and whispered, "Don't worry! Look..."

As he said that, he raised his head towards a soldier who was discussing something with Scar not far away: "That's Liang Lianbing, the leader of the third squad, nicknamed Rifle. He must have been arranged to deal with the Yueguizi sharpshooter!"

Sure enough, as Xiaoshi expected, Liang Lianbing grabbed his rifle and left after a while. When he passed by me, he seemed to realize what I was going to do.

When I was laughed at by him like this, my heart became even more irritated: Damn it!You hold 56 and a half in your hand, and I also hold 56 and a half in my hand. I don't believe that if you can hit me, you can't!I want to compete with you to see who can get rid of that damn Yue Guizi first!
