War means death, and sacrifice is inevitable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just now, two soldiers in the C platoon were wounded, one soldier was blown off a thigh, the flesh was blurred in the gap, and the thigh was left on the grass, two meters away, lying quietly on the ground, like a dead log.

The soldier screamed, and the team members next to him helped him tie the wound, and the gauze was tied around the gap, but it was still to no avail, and soon the white gauze was stained red, and bright red blood oozed out.

He leaned on the ground and saw that his thighs were empty, yelling in fear, and still struggling frantically, and the team members couldn't hold it down.

The other soldier was much better, he was only cut in the abdomen by shrapnel, but there was still blood flowing out, seeping through the military uniform he was wearing.

Fortunately, it was not an artery, so the gauze was wrapped around it, and soon the blood flow slowed down.

He didn't struggle, he didn't scream, he just let the team stop the bleeding for him, just read it in pieces, as if he were reading the Bible.

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Mubai walked over, stared at the wounded and asked.

"It's okay, Lieutenant."

His face was slightly pale, and he forced out a smile, smiling kindly at Xiao Mubai.

I could see that he was in pain, but he still held back and didn't cry out.

"You're a warrior!"

Xiao Mubai patted him on the shoulder, then turned to leave.

At this time, Xiao Mubai had already ordered to stop advancing, and the soldiers were all on guard in a circle, with the wounded in the center.

When Xiao Mubai was comforting the wounded, the second lieutenant had already notified the company headquarters and sent someone to pick up the wounded, so they were all waiting for the arrival now.

Xiao Mubai stood aside, staring at the grass in front of him, this grassland, no, it should be said that it is Kuah Island, all the places where people may pass, have been mined by the little devils.

This should be a little devil's means just in case, but I didn't expect it to come in handy after the US troops landed.

The huge island of Kuah, I don't know how many mines have been planted, I don't know where it is safe, and so far I haven't encountered a single enemy, but the death toll has skyrocketed.

The morale of the American soldiers fell uncontrollably, which was to be expected, and the soldiers were very aggrieved, and would rather do it with real knives and guns than die quietly and cowardly.

Just when Xiao Mubai was thinking about the strategy, the transport team quietly arrived.

The convoy arrived in jeeps, and there were no dedicated Red Cross medics, so they pulled the stretcher and carried it up.

The Jeep's tires were covered in mud and blood was still on the wagons, and it seemed that not only the people were busy, but also the Jeep.

"Are there a lot of injuries?"

Xiao Mubai walked up to the driver and asked casually.

When the driver saw Xiao Mubai's military rank, he told everything he had seen before.

"A lot of people were injured before we even heard the gunshots, and this is our fifth trip. Hearing that the major general was angry about this, the atmosphere at the command was very depressing, and the major general gave a death order that the enemy must be seen before dark and the prisoners must be captured. ”

Xiao Mubai was silent, capturing the prisoners before dark, this is an impossible task at all, the Japanese army will not appear at all, let alone arrest people.

Unless you arrive at the airport, there are Japanese troops and some Korean laborers on the other side of the airport. But to get to the airport, there is still a distance of more than 30 kilometers, such a long distance, it would be better if there were no mines.

Minefields slowed down the movement of American GIs, and each further line had to pay a huge price.

After the wounded were all lifted into the car, the jeep drove down the hill, where there was a dirt road that could be passed, and now the dry soil had turned to mud because of the rain.

Kuah Island is a tropical rainforest weather, and the rain is like eating and drinking, just last night it rained, and then the road that could have been passable became muddy, and the tires of the cars were full of mud.

Moving on, this time not on the grass again, but along the dirt road.

After resting for such a long time, the friendly troops had already gone to the front, and the dirt road was full of footprints. Because there are people in front of you, the road is now safe, and there is no need to beware of sudden landmines.

The dirt roads were full of marching soldiers, and it seemed that no enemy had been found in front of them, and the soldiers were all slackening and advancing with their guns on their shoulders, no longer in a state of search alert.

Xiao Mubai also breathed a sigh of relief, his nerves were tense for a long time, he was very tired, and he could rest now.

Stopping in front of a hill, there was a short camp with a large number of soldiers resting, and in the middle were wounded, either with their limbs broken or their bodies burned, none of whom had been shot.

The military doctor was treating the wounds of the soldiers, and there was a clear spring formed by a stream next to it, and the spring water was used to wash the wounds, and the blood flowed into it, and the spring water tended to turn red.

The 1st Marine Division was participating in the war for the first time and had not yet seen blood. In the first war, there was no expected rain of bullets, some were just ghost-like mines, hidden arrows were difficult to defend against, and morale became low.

This demoralization was low not only because of casualties, but also because of the lack of any achievements and the absence of a single enemy.

No matter how much territory the soldiers occupy, it would be futile because they would not have achieved any results without encountering the enemy.

As far as the eye can see, there are rolling hills, undulating, and I don't know where the little devils are hidden.

Xiao Mubai held the binoculars and stared closely into the distance.

Not meeting a devil is actually good for Xiao Mubai, even if the morale of the American soldiers is low, because in this way Xiao Mubai can rest.

From more than nine o'clock in the morning to more than three o'clock in the afternoon, it will soon be evening, and by the evening, you can rest all night, Xiao Mubai is looking forward to resting.

After a short break, I started to move on again.

It has been moving along the dirt road without encountering any more casualties.

However, there will always be a time to catch up with friendly forces, and no one will clear the mines anymore, only himself.

Wait until the new advance is a virgin land, and then unexpected casualties appear, and such casualties are inevitable, unless there are deminers, of course, the 1st Marine Division is now unequipped, and it is impossible to transport it in the short term.

As soon as there are wounded, they stop moving forward, contact the transport team for rescue, after which the wounded are sent down the mountain and then continue on.

And so on and on.

Slowly, the sun went from hanging high in the sky, to gradually setting westward, to setting sun, and soon it was evening.

After dinner, George's superior, Captain Starro, the commander of Charlie's Infantry Company, approached him, holding a military map.

"George, our target is Position 210, we must feel it as soon as possible tomorrow morning, and then attack."

Staro didn't make small talk, he opened the map directly, pointed to a high ground, and the captain got straight to the point, and finished the tactical goal in a concise and concise manner.

"Captain, aren't we going straight to the airport? Apparently the airport there is the closest. Xiao Mubai was puzzled, why should he go far, the 210 position is much farther than the airport.

"The airfield is being dealt with by the 5th Infantry Regiment and is not within our range of attack." Staro finished with a blank face, paused and continued to speak.

"Rest early to accumulate physical strength, there is a distance of more than 40 kilometers, and we will leave on time tomorrow, is there a problem?"

"No problem."
