Chapter 137 Saving the South Vietnamese Female Soldiers
The three mountain minorities are still staying where they are. They only serve as guides and are not responsible for any attack missions.
Their weapons were very simple, unlike the well-equipped ones of the US Army. They held an old-fashioned rifle in their hands, which looked like a Springfield rifle used during World War II that was discarded by the US Army.
The US military is also afraid that giving these ethnic minorities some advanced weapons may backfire on them.
Although the three mountain minorities are very familiar with the mountain jungle environment, their combat awareness is still very poor, after all, they have not received professional training.
The three of them just chatted together, not paying attention to the American military's arrangement for them to guard the retreat. In their hearts, they probably thought that the American military was omnipotent.
Dealing with these three mountain minorities is much easier than dealing with the US military.
Zhang Dongliang switched the assault rifle to continuous fire mode. After a few bursts of fire, the three mountain minorities fell in a pool of blood. He ended his mission without firing a single shot.
Zhang Dongliang rushed over as fast as he could and took them into his small world as well.
Since they wanted to create trouble and suspense for the US military, they would not leave any traces at the scene. This would greatly increase the time for the US military to investigate.
The gunshots coming from the direction of the cave gradually became sparse.
Zhang Dongliang was a little anxious because he knew that the two South Vietnamese female soldiers didn't have much ammunition left.
It is very rare that they can hold on until now, not to mention that they are not part of the combat sequence and have relatively poor battlefield response capabilities.
But even if you are anxious, you can't joke with your life.
There was no rush to deal with the two American soldiers blocking the escape route. The most urgent task was to deal with the few people attacking from the front first.
According to his estimation, there should be 4 to 6 people responsible for the frontal attack.
In fact, Zhang Dongliang guessed correctly. There were four people responsible for attracting the frontal fire: Dahei, Xiaohei and two white soldiers.
They never expected that their retreat would be cut off.
Zhang Dongliang carefully and tiptoed to hide his body and slowly approached them.
It was just talk on paper before, but after one or two days of battlefield training, Zhang Dongliang has made great progress.
For example, in terms of shooting skills, even though the shooting distance is very close, there will no longer be situations where fingers hit the chest.
Even if the distance is a little far, he feels that as long as he locks it with his mental power, he can basically hit the target without missing a beat.
"Women from South Vietnam, surrender quickly. Brother Hei will treat you well later~~~"
Not caring whether the South Vietnamese could understand what he said, Xiao Hei kept swearing and shouting.
Zhang Dongliang usually hates noisy people like this, so if that's the case, he'll shoot you first.
American soldiers rarely wore bulletproof vests during jungle warfare. The reason was simple: it was too humid and hot, making people feel very uncomfortable. Only some high-ranking commanders who valued their lives would wear them.
Bulletproof vests cannot protect against large-caliber rifles, such as the Type 56 submachine gun, at close range, so many people simply don't wear them. During the Vietnam War, many American soldiers were shirtless.
It was actually the same when we fought the Vietnam War in 79. The soldiers wore very little and the climate was too hot and humid.
In addition, the Type 56 submachine gun is actually an assault rifle, but the concept of assault rifle was not clear at that time, so it was always called a submachine gun.
Xiaohei, Dahei and the two white soldiers were all wearing standard US military combat T-shirts and no bulletproof vests, so Zhang Dongliang didn't have to deliberately aim at the head and shoot. After all, the US soldiers were wearing tactical helmets on their heads.
In order to ensure a fatal blow, Zhang Dongliang replaced the modified magazine with a bullet that had its head filed flat, equivalent to an incomplete version of a dum-dum bullet.
Taking advantage of Xiao Hei's shouting, Zhang Dongliang shot Xiao Hei in the back.
In such a battlefield environment, the sound of a gun shot with a silencer can be basically ignored. As Zhang Dongliang's finger pulled the trigger, Xiao Hei fell to the ground.
A bloody hole the size of a bowl appeared on Xiao Hei's chest.
"Xiaohei~~" Taking advantage of the opportunity when Dahei went to rescue Xiaohei, Zhang Dongliang quickly turned the gun around and shot at Dahei.
Dahei just realized that Xiaohei was shot in the back. Before he could react, the bullet had already hit Dahei's chest.
"Fuck~~" Before he could even finish his curse, Dahei and Xiaohei fell together.
Dahei and Xiaohei were shot and fell to the ground one after another, alarming the remaining two American soldiers.
The two of them rolled into the bushes nearby and shouted in fear: "Sniper, there is a sniper behind us."
What is the scariest thing on the battlefield? Being targeted by a sniper who is hiding somewhere unknown.
You don't know where he is hiding, nor when his bullet will hit you. He can see you, but you can't see him. The feeling of waiting for death to come is devastating and crazy.
The remaining two white soldiers should be new recruits and their mental qualities are not strong.
After a brief silence, unable to bear this tremendous feeling of oppression, they screamed "Ah~~Ah~~" and rushed out with guns, firing indiscriminately.
Zhang Dongliang was not polite and shot each of them to death. He rushed forward at the fastest speed and put all four of them into the small world.
The two South Vietnamese women in the cave were desperate. They had almost run out of bullets, with only one magazine left, which was the ammunition captured by the Chinese comrades from the US Army.
There was only one grenade left, which they kept for the purpose of dying together with the enemy. They did not want to endure the torture that would be worse than death after being captured.
The gunfire from the fierce battle suddenly stopped, which made them a little confused. But they dared not let their guard down, and still lay at the entrance of the cave with guns in hand, watching the battlefield ahead vigilantly.
Years of war have made them afraid to believe in anything until the danger is over.
At this time, the two soldiers who were preventing them from escaping, Thomas and George, were still waiting for them in an ambush not far to the left front of them, but they didn't expect that the battle here was almost over.
Zhang Dongliang took out two sets of tactical backpacks and guns and ammunition from the corpses of American soldiers in the small world, put them on his back, slowly walked to a place not far in front of the mobile cave entrance, and shouted into the cave: "Comrade Lin, Comrade Li, are you still there?"
"We are still here. Is that Comrade Zhang?" the two South Vietnamese women who had escaped from desperate situations asked in surprise.
"I'm back. The enemy in front of you has been dealt with. There are two more enemies lying in ambush on the left front."
Zhang Dongliang dared to show up only after he had finished questioning them.
The most taboo thing on the battlefield is to suddenly appear without saying hello. It is normal for others to be caught off guard and shoot you with a volley of bullets.
Many years later, Lin Lizhen and Li Caizhu wrote in their memoirs:
"When we were most desperate during the war, Comrade Zhang's greeting: 'Comrade Lin, Comrade Li, are you still there?' was the most beautiful voice we have ever heard in our lives.
It’s a pity that we don’t have the chance to follow Mr. Zhang forever. This is the biggest regret in our lives~~~"
All this is a story for later, so let’s not talk about it for now.
