Chapter Fifty-Nine: Herris
The second wave of helicopters is coming, and this time the American soldiers are the remaining B and C companies, and when they arrive, the total number of troops here will be more than 200 people.
At this time, the commander of the North Vietnamese Army, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Huu An, gave an order to prepare to break through the American positions on the flank and annihilate the invading American troops.
The M16 has a 20-round magazine, which is 10 rounds less than the AK47, which means that American soldiers have to spend more time changing magazines between battles, which is a very dangerous thing in a battlefield where bullets are raining.
The American soldiers ran out of bullets, while the North Vietnamese soldiers could keep firing, and ten rounds of ammunition were enough to save the battle.
Xiao Mubai defended on the right flank.
The bullet whizzed overhead, and Xiao Mubai lay on the ground, squatting up from time to time to shoot a shuttle bullet out. The deep grass was just enough to cover their bodies, but it also made it easier for North Vietnamese soldiers to sneak in.
At this time, the second wave of helicopters just arrived, and a hundred American soldiers landed and joined the battle.
The machine guns on the helicopter were fired, and the bullets rained down like a curtain of North Vietnamese soldiers nearby, and the large-caliber bullets hit their bodies, tearing their bodies and falling to the ground.
The helicopter left, transporting a group of wounded people away.
Here, Xiao Mubai just heard the bad news that Lieutenant Herris was shot.
Xiao Mubai half-squatted and ran to Lieutenant Herris's location. Many people passed on the road and many corpses and wounded were seen.
The casualties were very large, and Xiao Mubai's heart sank.
Xiao Mubai walked over and saw Lieutenant Herris lying on the ground.
Lieutenant Herris was shot in the thigh, the bullet happened to hit the artery, and now it was bleeding constantly, and the blood stained the pants red.
Lieutenant Herris stared at the sky, his gaze wandering, shivering all the time, and his face was covered in sweat, a sign of excessive blood loss.
"I'm cold!"
"It's okay! It's okay! The sergeant squad leader of the next squad pressed the wound and kept comforting him.
Xiao Mubai took out the hemostatic tablets in the system space, but it was useless, and the blood was still flowing in large strands.
Lieutenant Herris stared at Xiao Mubai, with a bright light in his eyes, held Xiao Mubai's arm, and said tremblingly: "I'm dying, I can die for the country, I die without regrets." ”
Xiao Mubai stared at him, watching the pupils in Herris's eyes dilated, his hands hanging down weakly, and then he died like this.
Herris looked peaceful when he died, and Xiao Mubai covered his eyes with his blood-stained hands and made him close them.
Even if he was not Herris's comrade-in-arms, Xiao Mubai still felt a little sad when he saw this scene. A life, in his hands, just departed.
The situation did not leave Xiao Mubai time to grieve, even if Herris died, the battle would continue.
Just as Herris died, the sergeant squad leader on the left flank also died, losing its commander, and the five American soldiers fell into confusion at once.
"We have to ask for reinforcements, but until then it's like that, I'm in charge of the right wing, you are in charge of the left wing, and the barbarian sergeant in the middle."
Xiao Mubai negotiated with the sergeant squad leader of the first class in this way, and sent a radio liaison officer to contact and ask for reinforcements.
Trapped in this woods of more than 100 square meters, it is necessary to pass through an open field in the back before it can meet the large army. Marching in the open field, exposed to the guns of the North Vietnamese army, was undoubtedly an act of seeking death.
"The enemy is coming again!"
Xiao Mubai returned to the position, and the North Vietnamese soldiers launched a charge at the whistle, holding a gun and pulling the trigger on the oncoming North Vietnamese soldiers.
"Da Da Da!"
The bullet hit the North Vietnamese soldier in the chest, causing a large sprinkling of blood to erupt and he fell to the ground on his back.
At this moment, the artillery of the Falken position opened fire, and 12 105-mm howitzers opened fire at the same time, and the shells fell among the attacking North Vietnamese soldiers, and they were torn apart on the spot, thrown into the air by the air waves, and fell heavily.
North Vietnamese soldiers rushed forward, and the nearest was even less than five meters away. The bullet hit the North Vietnamese soldiers, and Xiao Mubai clearly saw the painful expression on his face.
The soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army were not afraid of death, just like the Japanese soldiers who charged en masse in World War II.
North Vietnamese soldiers rushed at the ground and fell to the ground under the 5.56mm blows of the M16 assault rifles, while the American soldiers also paid a heavy price for casualties.
The white man was shot, and when the black man was helping to stop the bleeding, a bayonet suddenly stabbed him, and if Li Yaoting hadn't shot urgently, this knife would have to be inserted into a hole.
The bullet passed through the helmet of the North Vietnamese soldier and flew out of the back of his head, tearing the back of his head. The North Vietnamese soldier held a gun and made an assassination gesture, but fell to the ground, right next to the black man.
Gunfire rang out through the woods, and North Vietnamese soldiers continued to emerge from the tunnels, rush down the hillside, and rush to the American positions in one fell swoop.
The North Vietnamese army wanted to divide and surround the American troops, and Lieutenant Colonel Moore realized this and went to support the second platoon with reinforcements, but he did not know that Lieutenant Herris had been killed.
The helicopter landed, and the reinforcements jumped down one by one and headed in the direction of the second platoon. The reinforcements were C Company, which was defending on the left flank of B Company and coming in the direction of the second platoon.
When they were about to rendezvous, they were blocked and stopped by a group of North Vietnamese troops. Coincidentally, the machine-gun platoon of Company D, which had just landed at this time, rushed over to block the gap broken by the North Vietnamese Army and start a battle at the riverbed.
Six M-60 machine guns fired at the right time and constantly swept at the North Vietnamese soldiers.
The soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army rushed up without fear of death, and were beaten down by the American soldiers, but they could not advance an inch.
The battle unfolded in the bare riverbed, and at the first touch it was met with a large number of enemies, bullets hitting the sand and stirring up dust.
At that time, Xiao Mubai was fighting, aiming at one North Vietnamese soldier after another and shooting, within more than ten meters in front of Xiao Mubai, the North Vietnamese soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and they were about to fill the gap.
When Xiao Mubai heard the gunshots coming from there, he knew that the reinforcements had arrived.
"Sergeant, reinforcements are coming, go first with the wounded, I'll cover behind." Xiao Mubai found the barbarian sergeant and gave the order.
Fortunately, the stubborn barbarian obeyed the order and did not refuse.
"Yes, Sergeant."
With an order, Xiao Mubai took the whole squad and blocked the North Vietnamese army in the back.
"Da Da Da!"
The sound of gunfire resounded in the woods, and Xiao Mubai was under great pressure in the face of several times the enemy. Hiding behind the woods, Xiao Mubai continued to shoot.
"Click!"
When the assault rifle made a clicking sound, Xiao Mubai knew that the bullet was empty again. I don't know how many times I changed the magazine, Xiao Mubai skillfully changed the magazine, and was about to shoot, but saw a grenade rolling to the ground, right next to him.
Xiao Mubai's hair stood up, and he just rolled on the spot.
"Boom!"
The grenade exploded, and Xiao Mubai encountered the blast and fell into the dirt pit and was stunned.
"Sergeant?"
