Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

"Knock him out, knock him out!"

Heeding everyone's opinions, the country bumpkin pulled out the engineering shovel from his waist decisively and hit Daniel on the back of the head, instantly making him fall into silence.

Finally, the problem was solved, and Ma Run, who was still in shock, breathed a sigh of relief, and helped to lift Daniel into the foxhole before returning to their respective posts.

"Sir..."

When the battlefield became completely quiet, Grant sat beside Ivan and whispered, "I'm really useless."

"Most 'shell shock' patients can be cured with a shot of morphine and a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, Daniel belongs to a small number of patients." Ivan reminded, "The only way to cure him is to let him go The battlefield, sent to a safe place."

"I remember that I was taken away by the Cannon King the day before yesterday?"

"Ah."

Ivan raised his head and said, "The superiors don't care if you have 'shell shock' or 'battlefield fatigue', Daniel is a coward in the eyes of those guys, and he has lost face to the Marine Corps—if there is a field hospital, it will be fine." Acceptance, the problem is that we don't have this condition now."

"During the day, I talked a lot with him." Grant said with a sad expression, "I thought I could know him well and become good friends with him, but just now he didn't seem to know me."

If this is the case, then Daniel is not in the category of 'shell shock' but a real 'PTSD', or rather terrible acute post-traumatic stress disorder.

It's also fortunate that when this guy makes a noise, his comrades will go up and hold him down immediately, otherwise it would be easy to draw his gun and shoot at his brother indiscriminately. After all, in this guy's eyes, it is not his comrades who came to hold him down, but one after another with vicious smiles devils.

Yiwen hasn't had any nightmares in this reincarnation, probably because he was exhausted and paralyzed by the work of the medical soldiers, but as long as he still has some strength to think wildly, the nightmares will come as they should.

"In general......"

Ivan, who crawled over while talking in a low voice, carefully felt Daniel's pulse. After a few seconds, his brows were tightly frowned, and after repeated confirmation, he let out a long sigh.

Daniel died, the cause of death was a severe trauma to the head.

Landing and passing through the airport, just two actions tortured the soldier's spirit to the point of collapse. Three consecutive injections of morphine did not work. In order to prevent him from dragging the entire company into danger, extreme measures had to be taken.

Yiwen believed that the country bumpkin definitely didn't want to kill him, but the result was already in front of him.

"Can we think of a way to keep him away from the battlefield, at least in a field hospital?" Grant asked.

"No chance," Ivan said.

"Isn't it?"

Turning his gaze slowly, Ivan said, "Daniel is dead."

"what!?"

The shocked Grant immediately crawled over, felt several pulses, and put his ear on Daniel's left chest at the same time.

"He...he really died...!"

Grant's pupils seemed to have an earthquake.

"Maybe the lieutenant doesn't want to do this. All the memories related to killing are stored in the muscles."

"This--!"

Daniel, who was in a nightmare, talked with him continuously for a whole day, and later treated Grant with a smile, but at this moment he didn't know him at all.

He is mentally ill, and extreme methods must be used to shut him up for the safety of the entire K company.

If the easiest and least risky method does not work, then extreme methods of stunning can only be adopted.However, where to hit and what strength to use, the group of rough embryos here can't grasp it at all. If it is light, it will have no effect and even irritate Daniel, causing the resistance to become more intense. If it is heavy, it will directly kill him. After all, Ma Run here The skills possessed by the body are only related to killing people.

——There is no doubt that the country bumpkins who participated in the Battle of Guadalcanal must have fought the little devils hand-to-hand, and used the attack method of the engineer shovel to completely kill people, even if they did not have such thoughts.

The country bumpkin looks forward to the king of guns, takes it as his goal, and keeps learning and pursuing. Those who cherish his subordinates like that are role models, but he killed Daniel with his own hands. This is an unimaginable blow to an officer who yearns for the king of guns of.

Grant was also hit hard.

"..."

His shock turned into grief in an instant, and tears fell down in an instant. Since it was night and he couldn't make too much noise, he could only cover his face and sob silently.

The beach is so tragic, the airport is so dangerous, he has seen many life and death, he has seen many critically injured people die shouting 'Mom, I want to go home'...all these just made him sad for a while.

Weeping bitterly now, it is precisely because Daniel is not an ordinary person to him, he is a friend that Grant paid his heart to make.

"I conceited that the problem was solved."

Emotions are not achieved overnight, they will always accumulate slowly until they explode.

"But...but... woo woo woo..."

His words stopped, and Grant stayed by Daniel's body until dawn

On the side, weeping and sobbing, and never said a word to Yiwen.

After the day was completely ushered in, the communications soldier informed the great news-Captain Haldane sent a communication from the battalion headquarters.

Ma Run, who had been tense for a long time, showed a smile that hadn't appeared all day and night, except for the bumpkins.

"Do not......"

He looked at Daniel's body, and his whole body collapsed.

"I, I...I killed him..."

Sledge came up and said, "You're right, it's better than killing us all."

"Sledgehammer is right." Huai Ren responded, "It was a last resort."

28. Bravery and tragedy that make people excited

Three sticks of morphine did not save Daniel's life. It would be a lie to say that he didn't think it was a pity, but Ivan didn't struggle too much.

As long as there is even a glimmer of hope in other ways, Ivan will not choose extreme solutions.

Of course, this does not mean that he cannot implement any extreme measures.

A battalion commander, a deputy battalion commander, and a company commander have all been killed, and a sudden onset of illness will kill the second-class soldiers of Company K at any time.

If it wasn't the country bumpkin but himself who did it, Ivan would not have any psychological and spiritual problems—because he, as a medical soldier of Company K, had lived up to Daniel.

I discovered his problem the day I passed through the airport, communicated with Captain Haldane and sent him back to the rear. I got a shot of morphine and slept well for a night. It didn't relieve the shell shock, and it doesn't mean that this guy is weak No ability, mental illness is like this, if simple and crude means can't solve it, it will take a long time to heal little by little.

Seeing Daniel being kicked back to the company by his superiors, Ivan immediately arranged for Grant to accompany him, hoping to let his eloquent assistant solve the problem and reduce the possibility of getting sick. What if Grant, who is very eloquent, can solve it directly?

Even when the symptoms flared up, Ivan injected 3 injections of morphine first to reach the dose limit, instead of the simple and rude one-size-fits-all approach that many people like, and he did everything he could do.

The final result was unsatisfactory, so it can only be said that Daniel was unlucky.

There are too many examples of soldiers in this era that doesn't pay much attention to PTSD.

No kidding, people in the 21st century can't say they don't pay attention, but they don't pay much attention to it.

Why are the two war-themed miniseries also produced by HBO, the main screenwriters are Tom Hanks, and the scenes, props, and historical restoration are not bad. Why is "Band of Brothers" more popular than "Pacific War"?

They are all about the stories of heroes. The former dug deep into human nature but did not show the cruelest side of war. That is what the latter is describing throughout the article-how irreparable spiritual trauma the war has caused to the heroes. , even for the Ma Runs, this is a just war.

What the audience likes to watch is-even if the main characters are shot and fell down, dripping with blood, what is presented to the eyes is not the bloody scene of moaning in pain, yelling, and challenging the visual nerves, but the heroic scenes that make people's blood boil and tragic.

"Sir."

"Grant, I'm here."

Ivan patted his shoulder and replied.

The tears on Grant's face, who had been crying all night, were clearly visible, and he didn't seem to have fully walked out, nor had he been immersed in the grief of Daniel's death.

"He is my friend, a friend I made with my heart." Grant rubbed the corner of his eyes, "After talking with me, I found out that he lives in the same county as me in the same state, and is in the next city. minute."

"We also made an appointment to go to the beach together after the war is over, to use medals to pick up girls together, and we agreed that even if we get married and have children, we will often visit each other...to show off to our children-how brave our father was back then, Bullets and cannonballs deliberately avoided us as if they had eyes."

But that's all gone.

"I know it's impossible."

"It's not your fault, Grant."

Ivan found that this guy blamed himself for being placed next to Daniel.He himself also hopes to help Daniel relieve his mental pressure and completely resolve the trauma lingering in his heart through his efforts.

Grant is very proud and conceited. After all, he showed his proud talent in the operation through the airport. Maybe shooting and killing the enemy is not easy for him, but even if he takes him with him in saving lives Evan who acted was full of praise.

So a kind of 'omnipotent' thinking--Daniel's question?Isn't it communication?I communicated with so many wounded on the beach and at the airport, and I could easily soothe their spirits, divert their attention, and let them relax completely.Get a Daniel without breaking a sweat!

It's just that the symptoms that couldn't be resolved and even broke out gave him a slap in the face, knocking his self-esteem to the ground, and the constant friction finally turned into a pile of dust.

Some people may think that Grant is so restless, without any mature appearance at all-don't forget, this guy is only 17 years old this year.When Ivan was this age, he was at the moment of glory. As a model representative of his peers in the province, he was much more arrogant than Grant, and he often pretended not to look at others.

Yes, that’s right, Yiwen in the past can really be regarded as the villain brother in many urban web novels. His family background is quite affluent, and he needs academic performance, sports level, sports level, appearance, appearance, and figure. , and even be strict with self-discipline. Every semester, a good student gets a scholarship every year.

If there are 40 or [-] year olds in the world who are as calm as [-], they must have experienced a lot of distress and suffering.

As for why most of the recruits who entered Ma Run's army were 17 years old?

Because the army and navy also need volunteers, the card hosts young volunteers aged 18 to 35 to join the army.It means that volunteers of the right age in this age group must be given priority to the Army/Navy, and then the Marine Corps thought of a way to recruit volunteers aged 17 or 36 and over.

"Human strength is always limited." Ivan comforted, "Do your best, do your best, and just live up to it."

"Ah."

A 17-year-old boy who sets foot on the battlefield will definitely experience a more painful growth process than ordinary people. Although it is quite easy to be directly disabled, the transformation that will occur after resisting must be amazing.

At 7:39 am, the sky was overcast and the temperature plummeted.

There was no longer the severe weather that could steam people into jerky like a few days ago, and Ma Run felt comfortable for a while, but the rain that fell five minutes later made people can't help but hate it.

He hurriedly put on his raincoat, smoked a cigarette and waited for Captain Haldane's return.

At 8:15, a Sherman tank appeared in the field of vision. From a distance, the gun king could be seen standing on the engine of the tank and waving at the brothers of Company K.

Ivan knew that Captain Haldane was at least half successful.

His return means that he has not been prosecuted by military law for his disobedience on the battlefield.

As for the other half... Is it possible to change the battle plan? If you think about it for the better - after all, judging from the terrain witnessed by the reconnaissance operation, it is impossible for tanks like iron bumps to get in. Although the main gun is very powerful However, it was unable to provide any effective fire support. The battalion commander of the 5rd Battalion of the 3th Marine Regiment would not give K Company a Sherman tank for no reason, unless the attack route was changed.

Of course, it may be the one that the gun king must come over. Anyway, there are plenty of tanks. Pulling one over to boost the morale of his subordinates is always a bloody profit-the US military has this kind of tank that can be pulled over just to boost the morale of the infantry. After all, after the Pearl Harbor incident until the end of World War II, there were more than 8 tanks in the United States. Coupled with the belief in the tank combat theory emphasized by 'McNair', military fans of later generations often jokingly called the self-propelled artillery owned by an infantry division of the US military The total number of tanks, tank destroyers, medium tanks, and light tanks is almost equivalent to the armored divisions of the German army.

Captain Haldane was informed of what happened last night as soon as he came back. He didn't hesitate to come to the bumpkin immediately, and comforted him softly: "You did the right thing, Daniel, it's a pity, but there was no other choice at that time."

In the early morning, Sledge, the bad guy, Sergeant Elder Gun, Lieutenant Faulkner, many, many people came to comfort them, but they didn't have any conclusive effect. A word of persuasion is very effective.

After all, that was the man Lieutenant Eddie dreamed of.

The country bumpkin cheered up and said:

"Sir, it's a pleasure to see you back."

"Thank you."

Lieutenant Haldane patted Lieutenant Eddie on the shoulder, walked past the Sherman tank and shouted: "K company, ready to go-!"

When Evan learned about the specific situation, he didn't know what to say.

The 3rd Battalion Headquarters ordered K Company to change its original plan to attack Umurbrogol Mountain from the southeast corner. Captain Haldane will be fully responsible for all subsequent combat operations-finding loopholes in the Japanese defense line from the flanks, and must seize any opportunity to open the breakthrough for our own Can occupy the commanding heights in this hedgehog-like coral rock mountain, and then quickly report and hold the commanding heights to wait for more reinforcements to arrive.

The purpose of providing a tank is to allow K Company to provide critical firepower when looking for loopholes in the little devil's defense line, and even to have the power to counterattack quickly if it encounters a large army of little devils on the road. After all, K company lost two tanks. Heavy machine gun squad.

"I need volunteers to serve as vanguard."

The recovered country bumpkin shouted from the infantry crowd.

In the past two seconds, more than a dozen people stood up in unison, including the Sergeant Elder Gun of K Company.

"Count me in."

Ivan walked up and hinted at the country bumpkin with his eyes, and Lieutenant Eddie nodded with understanding.

After about 1 minute, a group of 5 people led by Sergeant Elder Gun was picked out. The rest were the 3rd platoon rifleman Private Bill Layton, the 1st Mortar Squad Leader Corporal Parkin, and the company headquarters. The signal soldier Clover Russell and the company's medical soldier Sergeant Inswood Ivan will walk in front of the main force to prevent the entire company from being ambushed by the Japanese army.

Originally, Captain Haldane fell ill again and wanted to lead the team himself. Fortunately, Ivan had communicated with the bumpkin in advance, and the latter firmly held the guy down to prevent him from leaving the team. agree.

"Do you understand the importance of Inswood!?"

After taking the country bumpkin aside, Captain Haldane said harshly, "There are no medical soldiers in the world who would do such a thing. Company K will suffer an unimaginable morale blow if it loses him!"

"Sir, I am very aware of this matter, but I also understand that no one is more suitable than him." The country bumpkin said without any hesitation, "Whether you are familiar with the terrain is too important for treating the wounded."

It's not that the cannon king doesn't agree with the deputy's statement, but that the battle plan after the change is different.

"I'm only talking to you alone."

Captain Haldane moved closer and said in a low voice: "I will not resolutely carry out this order, even if I find a loophole in the defense of the little devil in this mountain."

I finally got a BOSS push today, what a pain!
