Eleven landing craft slowly shuttled around the reef. Because of the mines, the original twelve became eleven. The US Army soldiers operating the landing craft carefully controlled the landing craft.
Their eyes were wide open as they paid close attention to the surrounding water, hoping to see the hidden dangers in the water through their eyes.
This was actually quite ironic. If they could observe and avoid dangerous mines in the water with their eyes, then what was the point of having a minesweeper?
Although they had been informed in advance that the mines had all been removed, they were still unwilling to accept it. Because the incident that had just happened showed that facts spoke louder than words.
When the landing craft was 30 meters away from the target beach, they suddenly received a notice that because it was suspected that there were mines in the water near the beach, all the landing craft temporarily stopped advancing and a minesweeper was sent to clear the mines. Just as all the landing craft had just stabilized, the sound of mortars came from the sky.
What's going on? Tangleh asked his companions around him. As soon as he finished speaking, a large explosion was heard.
Boom, boom, boom. Small water columns exploded around them. Caught off guard, two US Army landing craft were shot and set on fire. The sudden attack caused a certain amount of chaos in the US Army. The landing craft headed towards the area they thought was safe. Some of the landing craft hid behind the surrounding reefs, trying to avoid the artillery attack from the sky.
The landing craft that Tangleh was on was also in chaos due to the shelling. Some readers would say, "Isn't it just war? What's there to be afraid of? " Most of the people who spoke were people who had watched too many war movies and people who had never been on the battlefield. War was never as perfect as imagined.
Many people experienced war for the first time. Eighty percent of them peed their pants, and the remaining five percent had urinary incontinence. No matter how well they trained on the training ground, it would be a different scene on the battlefield! This was actually nothing to be ashamed of. In that environment, no matter how much water one drank, one's mouth would be dry and they would sweat profusely. This was because people in that environment would be particularly nervous. Their adrenal glands would secrete desperately, causing their heart to beat faster. After the heart beat faster, they would become nervous, and the nervousness would lead to psychological fear and excitement. This cycle would occur continuously, and in the end, it would lead to dry mouth, sweat profusely, urinary incontinence, and even peeing their pants.
Some people would even suffer from more serious symptoms, such as dizziness, vomiting, and blanking out of their thoughts. They would stand there like a fool, waiting for death or being caught by the enemy.
(When I was in elementary school, my class teacher told me about her little brother participating in a self-defense counterattack. In the first battle, the whole class almost peed their pants. Of the remaining three people, one was lying on the ground and crying, unwilling to get up. The other two were the worst off, standing there stupidly. They were probably scared out of their wits. They were shot into pieces by the anti-aircraft machine gun, their arms and legs flying everywhere. They died a horrible death. The one who was crying on the ground went crazy after witnessing the tragedy. Later, he went home and became a cripple. So we should cherish peace, which is not easy to come by.)
I'm sorry to get back to our story. The landing craft Tangleh was on was also in chaos during the shelling. Many people were screaming in fear. This time, not only was Bici crying (I wanted to write about Year of Sao, but I didn't dare to in the end. We all need to get some energy), but also Gary and Clark, the two newbies. The three of them cried for their mothers at the same time.
Tom didn't pee his pants, but he was scared out of his wits. He lowered his head and kept gesturing to God to protect him. Bruce, on the other hand, kept drinking water from his water bottle to hide the fear in his heart, even though his face was as pale as a vampire's.
Because so many people were so frightened that they peed their pants, the landing craft was suddenly filled with the smell of urine. Tangleh's performance was considered good among these people. Although he didn't pee his pants, he was still scared out of his wits. Because of the shock, Tangleh kept farting and vomiting.
