Chapter 57: The Hunt

It was 10:40 a.m., and the morning sun was starting to get stronger, and the dew was still on the leaves of the grass stems, and my feet were stepping on the grass, and before I knew it, I was wetting my trouser legs.

At this moment, Xiao Mubai, who was moving slightly, oozed a drop of sweat on his face. Even in November, Vietnam with a subtropical rainforest climate is still hot.

Xiao Mubai paid attention to the surroundings, according to the information Wikipedia, it was not far from here, the soldiers of the second platoon met a soldier of the North Vietnamese Army, and in order to capture the prisoner, they fell into the ambush circle of the North Vietnamese Army during the pursuit.

Xiao Mubai didn't expect that he would become a member of this platoon.

This task is obviously extremely difficult. Xiao Mubai was a little skeptical that he could complete the task and leave here alive.

You must know that the second platoon suffered heavy losses in this ambush, the platoon commander Lieutenant Herris was shot and died shortly after, and the three squad leaders were also shot and killed, and in the end, only the sergeant nicknamed "Barbarian" remained, leading the second platoon, which lost more than two-thirds of the resistance, and by the time Lieutenant Colonel Moore's rescue came, the second platoon of more than 20 people, there were eight people left.

Although this mission was very fucking and difficult, Xiao Mubai had to obey.

Xiao Mubai knew that it would be difficult to complete this task by his own efforts, but if it was the platoon commander, Lieutenant Herris, then the task would not be so complicated.

But is it possible for the system to set up such a simple task?

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant! We've advanced more than 200 meters, and we're far away from a row, so why don't we stop first? Xiao Mubai walked, holding an assault rifle in one hand, and said to Lieutenant Herris.

Xiao Mubai must stop the whole platoon from advancing, even if it can't be stopped, it is okay to let the American soldiers prepare.

Lieutenant Herris was a young lad, a graduate of the Army Military Academy, who had not experienced combat, but had only participated in airborne training in the 1st Battalion for two years.

Herris looked at the position next to him, thinking about Xiao Mubai's suggestion, and was about to give the order to pause, when suddenly, a figure flashed in the grass.

"Catch him! It was a North Vietnamese army fugitive. ”

It was a North Vietnamese Army soldier, dressed in a grass-green uniform. After spotting the American soldiers, they quickly fled to the rear. At this time, Sergeant Frank, the squad leader of the first squad, also spotted him and chased after him with a gun, and the soldiers next to him also reacted and followed him closely.

The soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army ran fast, Frank followed closely behind, and Li Yaoting, whom Xiao Mubai had arranged in advance.

To kill him before the open field, Xiao Mubai had to do this, otherwise the whole platoon would be in trouble.

Frank was in front, Li Yaoting was close behind, and the others followed.

Xiao Mubai ran two steps, then took aim with his gun and fired a shot. The sound of gunfire echoed through the woods, and bullets hit trees next to North Vietnamese soldiers. The speed of movement of the North Vietnamese soldiers was not calculated, and the foothold of the bullet deviated from the aiming position, and Xiao Mubai missed.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the North Vietnamese soldiers, who sped up and ran forward.

While the second platoon was chasing the North Vietnamese soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel Moore captured a prisoner at the battalion headquarters, and the prisoner confessed all the information, and Lieutenant Colonel Moore knew the gravity of the situation for the first time. When he was about to give the order to suspend his advance and stop moving, there was already an exchange of fire on Xiao Mubai's side.

Xiao Mubai failed to shoot the first shot, and then fired the second shot.

In the dense woods, thick trees obscured the view, and bullets could be easily intercepted, Xiao Mubai tasted the jungle for the first time, just like the German army in Yastrovy last time.

"Da Da Da!"

This time, Xiao Mubai used a burst of bullets, and the continuous bullets hit the path of the North Vietnamese soldiers' advance, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Xiao Mubai controlled the recoil and tried not to let the bullets fly into the sky. Maybe it was Xiao Mubai's luck, or maybe it was the results of the club's training for a few days, and this time a bullet finally hit.

The 5.56 mm bullet struck the North Vietnamese soldier in the back, burrowing into his flesh and tearing down his tissue. At that time, the North Vietnamese soldiers stumbled, and blood gushed from their backs, staining their grass-green uniforms.

The North Vietnamese soldiers were shot, slowing down considerably, but still running as far as they could.

If only it could hit the leg or knee, Xiao Mubai was thinking about it when another gunshot rang out.

The North Vietnamese soldier faltered on his feet, his legs faltered, and then he fell to the ground with a painful face.

Xiao Mubai followed the prestige, and saw Li Yaoting, who was half-squatting and had just fired a bullet.

“GOOD!” Lieutenant Herris walked up to Li Yaoting and patted him on the shoulder as a reward.

Blacks and Jews ran over and escorted the wounded North Vietnamese soldiers, and Herris wanted to interrogate him, but he could not speak Vietnamese and had no translator, so he had to give up.

"Jack! The lieutenant colonel has a South Vietnamese guide there, so your squad will take him there. Lieutenant Herris said to Xiao Mubai.

Xiao Mubai took the rest of the people to guard on the side, and when he heard this, he thought that he had no excuse to refuse, so he agreed.

“YES!”

Xiao Mubai retreated with the North Vietnamese prisoners, and just a few minutes after leaving, he heard fierce gunfire from the side.

Xiao Mubai and Li Yaoting looked at each other, and they both knew that there was something wrong with Herris.

"We have to go to the rescue, this man is a burden, so he must be killed." Xiao Mubai didn't know who he was explaining, took out the M1911 pistol, loaded the bullet, and pulled the trigger on the terrified North Vietnamese soldiers.

"Bang!"

The bullet entered through the center of the eyebrow, and the bullet hole was bloody and left outside, and the North Vietnamese soldier was dead.

“GO! GO! GO! ”

With five soldiers, Xiao Mubai shuttled through the woods and ran towards Lieutenant Herris.

The gunfire continued, and Xiao Mubai, who had been shooting in Nanjing for a few days, immediately knew that this was the sound of AK47. The North Vietnamese Army was armed with Soviet AK47s, with a bullet caliber of 7.62 mm, which was larger than the M16's 5.56 mm, and the guns were louder.

By the time Xiao Mubai arrived, the battle had already been going on in the woods for a while.

Two U.S. soldiers were lying on the ground, one was shot in the head, and the bullet hit the helmet through the skull. Another person was shot in the chest and ambulance guards were using gauze to stop the bleeding.

U.S. soldiers were shooting at each other with assault rifles, as were North Vietnamese soldiers on the other side. At the whistle of the North Vietnamese army, people from all directions converged, and the number of American troops was insufficient and fell into disadvantage.

Xiao Mubai also joined in, aiming and shooting with a gun.

Bullets whizz overhead, and if you're not careful, a bullet will fly over and hit your head.

In the era of assault rifles, the distance was not too far, there was not much time for aiming, almost instant shooting. In this case, bullet consumption is greatly increased, and melee losses are greatly increased.

Xiao Mubai aimed at the soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army, and used the burst fire mode to deal with the North Vietnamese Army at intervals.

"Da Da Da!"

The gunshots were ringing, and the enemies in front of Xiao Mubai were shot one by one and fell.

Realizing that his forces were in a weak position, Herris had ordered his forces to shrink and gradually retreat with the wounded and corpses.

Xiao Mubai led the third shift to be responsible for the right flank after the break.
