Yes giodem 12, June 7, 1970 mortar shells suddenly crashed down my college team. Vietnamese Communist military attack. In fact, the fireworks mortars used to attack a unit of money as my team is a great work very inefficiently. Because they have more important goal than to attack. The mortar rounds were hard to be transported far away from Hanoi to here.
While we are preparing to fight, there was an explosion from the military barracks Wei Saigon which is located about 400 meters. To learn more about the situation there, I was on their radio network. On the sound that filled urgently: "VC, VC, VC". That is the signal that VC troops have entered the military base of Wei Saigon.
As I think of the VC forces were simultaneously attacking both our military and ARVN. The situation is very urgent and very complex. Will target the enemy's main base is what?
In my opinion, the combat feels a lot when it comes to not always be able to use that gauge theory. I first determine whether the VC has attacked our bases or not.Immediately after the VC is determined not attack us, I have unilaterally inform the ARVN troops know that I will be shelling on their base. And we started shooting a bluff on their base. We were firing mortar shells and flaming to the sky. 155mm guns simultaneous export team in college teams is not firing on up explosives around the surrounding area.
Under my orders, surrounding areas to the ARVN troops into yard pieces of flesh and blood splattered. In an instant, around the base was covered by light bullets, by the lightning rounds, by the explosion and intense flavor concentration suppository anonymously. It was like that scene quydang gathered to delineate the life and death. It is clear that the deceased soul and the soul is dead then cry together and dust lanes in the rain of bullets.
When lightning fire less gradually, RVN military base was covered by dense smoke and dust lanes. In my chest, who witnessed the battle from the start shooting me because that is feeling extreme stress. Frankly speaking, is a soldier in Korea, I really do not care to die at that party. It is important that we remain safe.
By early morning I ordered the shelling stopped. Immediately a feeling of horror of silence surrounding the whole area. As my sense of artillery in the battle that nobody survived. As soon as the morning sun, I carried the team into the lead agency bases RVN. We went in very nervous state. Silence around like paper. Have only heard great footsteps of team progress carefully. How many dead there? After the troops entered the grounds of RVN, I fired up the signal troops.
Thus began the emergence of the head is carefully hidden in the base. Once we identified, they started to run, the gun just jam up the sky just screaming. They kiss us, hugging and dancing circle on the ground. Great ARVN captain also ran to me, hug and kiss slowly get married to the present. There are many situations on the battlefield can not use words that express it. So it's time. Happy, grateful, happy, excited, cheering ... No one word can describe all images have been happy just terrified of the soldiers of Saigon at the time.
They had to take a rain artillery all night. And they also had to undergo a long period of fear between life and death. In such circumstances, the only thing they can do is send him to heaven lives, but they themselves are trying to hide how thoroughly as possible.
Outside the fence, on all sides by cotton tapes. Traces of blood from the wounded soldiers until long-leading. VC army has seemed pretty heavy damage. Pursuant to the Saigon army surrounded friable layer i6 seconds barbed fence. VC soldiers crawl under a fence that only one wearing black pants and cup body also with a black camouflage. There is something very special VC troops who carry guns are not at all. They carry guns player built manually from dry food boxes C. They crawled into the base and pulling the rattan bag which contained approximately 20 artillery tests.
Their strategy is that while the ARVN troops still fear before hiding machine gun bullet fired from outside the fighter cover, they crawl through the fence into the grounds and results for each player holds a gun. Therefore, these guns are not encumbered bring. They saw the soldiers of the Republic is like puppets and their tactics is to destroy and then seize all weapons.
Thing I admire most is the morale of the army of liberation. They enter the base layer is protected by barbed wire firmly that there's only carry guns. This action not only by the command. Behind on orders of military obedience is something that inspires them more intense. Mission to fight off foreign invaders had eaten deep into the bone marrow make every citizen of Vietnam, every soldier who liberated. So they have a fighting spirit and tenacious way.
I had to play survival suot1 years with troops about a great release so there.
One day a truck full of girls passing the gate chain based college teams. The girls towards my soldiers just waved just screaming. Our soldiers also responded to shout out an entire area around the base to riot. But when the men entered the grounds, I realized they are the local officials of the Saigon government that I know very well on regular. With a surprised face, I welcome them into the living room.
They told me that thanks to the brave fighting of the 11 university teams that they are living a peaceful way, so they want to give other girls a gift for the college team.Idea is that they bring to the team performed great service so I thank the team and asked jokingly as a gift mean how. Word of the officials that let great men of the team playing with that girl. ARVN soldiers often live with their families in the camp. Perhaps because of that local officials had thought this job.
I suggest to them that if they truly want to use such empty village oo front base. But they say it will so annoying. They say they are local officials, if the rumors out there are very difficult. While I was speaking of the soldiers I was rushing out they rang loudly, while the girls are waving and shouting radiation disturbances.
Ethics and morals, for now we can only artificially. I immediately called the platoon leader to the back to consult. So the platoon leader's comments also no less complex. Two platoon leader then says, "Being in that war, nothing that great captain to worry. Only the right one is finished. " But two others opposed. Of course for women on the grounds that a wrongdoing.
In the base of the great teams have three paratroopers, and artillery units have both anymore. I also hope this event will be held in secret, but just hope they understand that this is not a proper job and so please know enough. Platoon leader and I decided to forget the soldiers are doing and under the same local officials that sat drinking beer talking in a small room behind.
But later I realized that she had received money from my soldiers and hoda must pay that amount for a part of local officials. In other words, the local officials have made the game's code took her to earn some money. Never and will never be a gift as hoda told me at first.
I used to go hunting but do not have great pleasure in pleasure murder on the battlefield. Upon seeing the enemy were killed, we have a joyful feeling hard to describe. Therefore, we can determine who set foot on the shooting, the body can sit up there talking fun. Can not have something called human nature is human.
Talk radio content when ambushed by enemy forces is also very simple: Press yet?
Then a click. -Done yet? -Well, only just heard a whimper.
All these guys? -Approximately 5, 6thang something. -Rays more grenades.
If not a war, not people like us, they may just kill again finished saying things like above? Perhaps those who think a normal guy would think toila crazy, a guy full of bestiality.
VNla battlefield where we have lived with brutal instinct. U.S. forces also are not my friend, the U.S. was also not my friend, the Korean military personnel in order to make money and only intended to artificially victories are only for the objects of my indignation. At that time in my room for human emotions or other complex concepts. I became the only known killing. My life is the dinner party fun every victory.
I could not hold back tears when "his bushy beard," Kim was commissioned soldiers. No way alleviate sorrow, I have led a great team to pull it to the coconut plantation in the grounds. Before I just told Kim and commissioned together some simple questions like this:
Is Yong-Dae is leading the team captain is not distributed? -Yes, sir. Make eat carefully-offline! There is no confidence? -Well I am very confident. On the face grows bushy beard he rushed smiled cautiously. But unfortunately, the hospital division captain were killed by bullets fired by university doi10 wrong. I was so angry wanted to bring all of his college shooting that 10 teams. I can not bear to talk of his lower back and killed by government forces their hand. For these reasons, when soldiers shot him wrong to apologize to the great team, I cursed and hit, and I even took the gun shot him.
About 12 pm October 6, 1970 in the rooms of the university team, I was class captain for the university. But somehow, that day when not speaking, I suddenly told the platoon leader, "all stand out." Just go out at all, no one left shocked 75mm shells falling on the table all the letters had sat TMA meetings. Shells exploding tables.Followed by other rounds hit a window of the shack a platoon, a different effect on the stock 24 are in at cleaning up, a different effect on health care while working lights. All are 100% accurate. I can not help but admire the artillery at night NLF. Of course they are not allowed to slide by each of shot shells are transported from Hanoi get is invaluable. Anyway, the shot is 100% at night also makes it amazing.
Platoon leader and I survived, but two men are working, a man dies, one injured. One other soldier was amputated leg while sleeping guard shack window pedestal foot health due to not shock 57mm artillery through the right leg. Also new this morning he jump each individual. British soldier has been amputated foot sample face crying, complaining just do not have legs, how to live. But we can not just sit looking at him complain, because there are other immediate battle.
I have fired about 1,000 rounds of ammunition for mortars on the battlefield where artillery is suspected of NLF. Early the next morning I fired artillery and the infantry farther to hunt. But the cunning of the Liberation Army was once again amazed me. To combat countered our game, hoda hiding in a basement in the T-dug trenches beside the reviews evidence from France. And next morning they withdraw from this place. Until now I still keep falling artillery piece table T as a souvenir.
