In the jungle that had turned yellow due to the defoliants, Wei Ran took off the ignited grenadier vest as quickly as possible, stamped out the flames at the edges, and shouted to Zach to take a broken leg with him as soon as possible.
Li Youfu stayed away, but he himself had already stumbled back to the burning helicopter wreckage.
After an urgent search, he finally used an M16 rifle stuck on the gun rack of the cabin door to pick out the backpacks or rucksacks of the three people before being burned by the flames again.
After extinguishing the steaming flames on the backpacks of the three men, Wei Ran did not dare to stay long. He picked up the grenadier vest again and limped towards Xhaka and the two.
"boom!"
Almost as soon as the distance between the three of them narrowed to less than two meters again, the helicopter behind them more than ten meters away exploded even more violently.
Wei Ran shrank his neck subconsciously, glanced at the huge "bonfire" behind him, took a breath and waved his hand to signal Zach to stop, threw the things he brought back aside and said, "I'll check Troyer's wounds first.
Come check it out and see if we have anything left that can be used."
"good"
Zach immediately responded, followed Wei Ran's command, and placed the painful-looking Li Youfu on a flat ground.
Fortunately, Li Youfu's leg was only dislocated at the knee joint and ankle. This was really a simple matter for Wei Ran. Of course, the severe pain during the treatment would inevitably make Li Youfu unable to stop.
Scream.
“The news is good and bad”
Zach said happily, "My camera and Troyer's camera are both fine. Victor, what about yours?"
"Is now the time to talk about cameras?"
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, and while busy dealing with the scratches on Li Youfu's calf, he said, "What about other things? For example, weapons."
"An M16 rifle you picked up"
Zach took off the Minolta camera and the Nikon half frame hanging from Weihan's neck and inspected them carefully. He kept saying, "There are also the grenade launcher and Troyer left by Angus."
submachine guns and, of course, our pistols.”
After a short pause, Zach shook Weiran's Minolta camera and said regretfully, "Also, your Minolta lens is scrapped, but the good news is that this Nikon half frame can still be used."
"Where are the other things?" Wei Ran asked, not bothering to answer the other party's question about the camera.
"Do we still have any film..."
"Zach, don't worry about the camera for now." Wei Ran reminded again, dumbfounded, "Let's talk about it first... forget it, I'll do it myself."
After saying that, Wei Ran helped Li Youfu take care of the wound on his calf, and then checked Zach again.
Fortunately, Zach's only wound came from his snow-white buttocks, which had a wooden thorn the size of a matchstick stuck in it.
Perhaps because of the adrenaline secreted by himself, this guy didn't feel any pain at all before Wei Ran pulled out the thorn.
After giving each of them an injection of tetanus and anti-inflammatory drugs, Wei Ran treated a few minor burns and scalds on his body as quickly as possible, while also assessing their physical conditions.
Needless to say, even though the fall just caused pain everywhere in his body, it was still bearable.
Zach had a thorn in his butt, but obviously, this small injury was nothing to this burly reporter. At most, he only had to be careful not to let his wound get infected.
The most troublesome thing is Li Youfu. Although the dislocated knees and ankles were pinched back by himself, he may not be able to use any strength on his injured leg in the next few days, especially when there is a bandage on the calf of this leg.
I just had four stitches on the scratch.
After rummaging through the equipment of the three of them, in addition to the weapons that Zach just took stock of, each of them also had four water bottles on their belts, and each of them also had a bottle of water purification tablets and a bottle of malaria medicine in their bags.
This is undoubtedly the best news. Even though everything in this jungle is wet, it is actually very difficult to find a clean water. Especially this area has been sprayed with herbicides, so it is even harder to find a clean water source.
In addition to vital drinking water, Angus also gave him a medical kit. Although the medical kit contained not many medicines, it could still support a "veterinary-grade" field operation.
But compared to these, the food they had at this time was only the four compressed biscuits in Wei Ran's hip bag, and the ice-cold Coke in the British Army P44 kettle hidden in the metal book.
"Troyer, why don't you even have anything to eat in your bag?"
Wei Ran muttered dissatisfiedly after rummaging through the two backpacks with several burnt holes fixed to the frame of Li Youfu's backpack.
In these two backpacks, the upper backpack contains basically all the film and film boxes in sealed tubes, as well as the Super 8 camera that was just broken, which caused Zach to feel distressed, and a full set of
A pocket of yellow "poker cards" and a pocket of miniature radios produced by Zhaohe and given by Zack as a gift.
Of course, there is also a waterproof bag inside, which contains the notebooks and pens Weiran gave to Li Youfu.
In the lower backpack, in addition to potions and tools for developing photos, there are also three magazines for MAT49 submachine guns, several camera lenses in waterproof cans and a four-meter-square piece with tiger stripe camouflage patterns.
of nylon cloth.
There was also a troubleshooting knife fixed at the bottom of the backpack frame. But in two such big bags, he couldn't find even a biscuit.
"Zach said the food takes up too much space," Li Youfu replied with a grin.
Wei Ran glared at Zach angrily, and Wei Ran became increasingly helpless. Apart from a miniature camera in a leather case, the only thing he could find in the other person's bag was two large rolls of U.S. dollars that were like waste paper at this moment.
And the same amount of vouchers, plus a light meter and a few batteries for Nikon half-frame camera motors, a few packs of cigarettes, a large box of condoms and a large roll of tape.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Victor, should we go find Angus?" As Zach spoke, he took out a zippo lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette in his mouth.
.
"Let's go"
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already thrown aside the broken Super 8 in Li Youfu's backpack, the lenses that took up space and weight, and the film boxes used by the Super 8.
"Hey! Victor! You can't do this!"
Zach hurriedly picked up a waterproof jar that was only a little shorter than a Stanley thermos. "This lens is..."
"We are running for our lives"
As Wei Ran spoke, he also took out the yellow poker cards, the portable radios, and the potions and tools for developing photos from his backpack.
"At least we can try hiding them"
As Zach spoke, he hurriedly picked up the lenses and other items lying on the floor and put them into a waterproof rubber bag, and then put on a backpack that had been discarded by the fuselage and had several holes burned out.
After looking around, while Wei Ran was sorting out the remaining supplies, he used a troubleshooting knife to dig a hole at the base of a tall deciduous tree, buried the bag of things in it, and finally did not forget to lift it up
With the Nikon Big F camera hanging around his neck, he took a photo of the tree with the helicopter wreckage in the distance as the background.
"Let's go find Angus"
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already carried the backpack rack that belonged to Li Youfu. In addition to the only remaining stuffed backpack on the backpack rack, his and Zach's hip bags were also placed on it.
"I'll carry it," Zach said subconsciously.
"good!"
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already taken off the backpack frame he had just put on his shoulders and handed it to the other party. At the same time, he also didn't forget to take off his hip bag and put it on his back again.
In addition to the four crucial compressed biscuits, this bag also contained some films he had taken before, as well as the partially burned Grenadier vest.
"Forehead..."
Zach grinned, and finally took the backpack stand and threw it on his shoulder honestly. For a strong man like him, this backpack stand really didn't weigh much.
"Zach, you hold this gun."
As Wei Ran spoke, he handed the French submachine gun that belonged to Li Youfu to Zach along with the three spare magazines he dug out of his bag. "Use the trigger as a shutter. If something goes wrong, fire immediately."
"If you say that, then I will definitely seize the opportunity." Zach assured confidently.
"Troyer, this gun is for you."
Wei Ran said, handing the M16 he picked up to the other party, "You walk behind, this gun can at least be used as a crutch."
"What about you?" Li Youfu asked subconsciously.
"I'll use this"
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already picked up the M79 grenade launcher that originally belonged to Angus, and the butt of the gun was inlaid with two pieces of copper by Li Youfu.
"Speaking of this, we haven't seen what Angus left for us yet." Zach said curiously as he walked towards the direction where Angus fell. "If I remember correctly, he didn't just talk about those grenades.
There are films hidden in it, and there is also a camera in the medical bag sent to you?"
"That's right"
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already put the Type 56 bullet bag filled with grenades on his chest.
"What kind of camera is it? Show it to me quickly!" Zach urged enthusiastically.
"We are running for our lives"
Wei Ran reminded again helplessly, "I'm afraid it's not just the more difficult guerrillas who want to kill us now, but also the bullpen camps and soldiers with sticks."
"I know, so hurry up and show me that camera before we are killed!" Zach said, stretching out his hand towards Wei Ran again.
I'm really curious how you survived...
Wei Ran muttered secretly as he opened the medical bag hanging on his belt, took out a canvas ammunition bag from the bottom, and handed it to Zach without looking at it.
"It's a beautiful recruitment camera!"
The moment Zach opened the canvas ammunition bag, he whistled happily, "And it's also a half-frame camera."
"Another half-frame camera?"
Wei Ran finally became interested and glanced curiously at the camera in Zach's hand. Unfortunately, this time, he did not recognize the machine.
Of course he couldn't recognize it. The camera he had just pulled out of the canvas ammunition bag was not only covered with a safety sheath on the outside, but also seemed to have a leather case inside.
In other words, if everyone can recognize it like this, I am afraid that only Zach, the "camera dealer", can recognize it.
"After all, film is too expensive. Unless it's a professional photographer, who would refuse an affordable half-frame camera?" As Zach spoke, he had already torn open the outermost tightly wrapped condom with his teeth.
"How did you recognize it?"
Li Youfu, who followed up with a gun, asked curiously, "You didn't even open it just now."
"It's through this lanyard"
Zach held the leather strap of the camera and shook it, "This is the biggest feature of this Yashica. You can advance the film and wind the shutter with just one pull. I once had one, but it wasn't suitable."
Photographers only use it for fun at most."
At this point, Zach had already opened the holster, pulled out the camera, played with it, and then put it back into the holster. He even took out two condoms from his pocket, put it back on, and stuffed it into the canvas.
In the ammunition bag, he asked expectantly, "Victor, look quickly, where are those negatives hidden?"
“Already looking for it”
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already opened the wooden buttons of the Type 56 bullet bag at his waist.
He took out the ten grenades contained in this bullet bag and inspected them one by one. He soon discovered some clues.
Among these ten rounds of 40mm grenades, there is one red signal flare, two white phosphorus incendiary rounds and three high-explosive rounds. The remaining four rounds are all No. 4 rounds that are not very useful and can even be said to be rarely used.
Buckshot.
Compared with the previous six rounds of grenades, although the warheads and primers of these four deer rounds are still there, the weight of three of them is obviously wrong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While walking forward behind Zach, Wei Ran picked up one of the black buckshot and unscrewed the first half with a little effort.
There was no pellet in this buckshot, but instead, there was a thick layer of white wax oil that had solidified.
Using the cover of his pocket, he took out the paratrooper's gravity knife from the metal book. Wei Yan used the steel needle at the end of the gravity knife to carefully pry open the wax oil, and then he saw a layer of rubber products that seemed to be condoms.
This condom is really versatile...
Wei Ran muttered to himself and carefully opened the condom, only to find that there were sheets of film rolled inside with the perforations cut out on both sides!
"check it out"
Wei Ran greeted Zach and Li Youfu and took a look at the negatives rolled into cylinders in the cartridge cases.
"Take it out and see!"
Zach stopped while he was speaking and said seriously, "This is related to whether we can trust Angus."
Hearing this, Wei Ran carefully pulled out the negative film.
Just relying on the weight, he could estimate that there could be at least hundreds of negatives in such a roll!
Carefully unfolding it and raising it to the sun, the three people with their heads together were immediately recognized by their iconic beards. The protagonist in this photo happened to be Platoon Leader Wild Boar George of Team T!
Although it was only a negative, under the sunlight, they could still clearly distinguish that the Wild Boar George Platoon recorded in this first half-frame negative was humiliating a thin figure that was probably not even as high as his chest.
!
But when they thought about the "exquisite" figure of Platoon Leader Wild Boar George, the three of them, Wei Ran, all shuddered.
"This bastard!" Zach cursed through gritted teeth, "He is simply a sucker..."
Before Zach finished speaking, all three of them heard the roar of the helicopter propeller!
"Hide!"
"Put away those negatives quickly!" Zach and Li Youfu shouted in no particular order.
Dragging Zach with one hand and Li Youfu with the other, they hid in the shadow of a lying dead tree. Wei Ran took the condom handed over by Zach, reinstalled the negative film and stuffed it into the black grenade.
, and then stuffed the warhead into the cartridge case.
“We have to find our own way back to Da Nang.”
Zach repeated Wei Ran's guess amidst the roar of the propellers getting closer and closer, "Whether it's the soldiers with sticks or the people in the bullpen camp, whoever finds us will probably kill us and then seize or destroy the negatives!"
"Are you sure you want to go back by yourself?"
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he added, "Which of you can lend me a lighter?"
"Use mine"
While Li Youfu was talking, he took out a lighter and handed it to Wei Ran.
The ignition flames quickly and briefly heated the joint between the warhead and the shell. Wei Ran raised his head and looked for the helicopter that was getting closer and reminded, "This is not close to Da Nang."
"It would be great if we could grab a helicopter," Zach murmured to himself, also raising his head.
However, what no one expected was that at the moment he finished speaking, they once again vaguely heard the roar of anti-aircraft machine guns and the roar of RPG explosions!
Immediately afterwards, another Huey, one puffing out thick smoke, broke into the sight of the three.
At the same time, both Zach and Li Youfu had already raised their cameras and pressed the shutter repeatedly towards the helicopter that flashed away in the sky!
"It's a helicopter trap"
Zach put down the Nikon Big F camera hanging around his neck and said, "I heard from other soldiers that after our helicopter or fighter jet crashed, the guerrillas would find it with anti-aircraft weapons before our support and rescue arrived.
The aircraft fell down, and then built an air defense trap to swallow up the air power coming for rescue until we stopped investing and chose to give up."
"I heard about it too"
Li Youfu said subconsciously, "I heard that the guerrillas learned the tactics from the Chinese, but what should we do now? From the rumors I heard, the guerrillas will probably arrive near the crashed helicopter soon.
.”
"Of course I'm going to find Angus."
Zach took another step without thinking, "He must survive. He is the only key witness who can testify against Team T's crimes!"
"Then hurry up"
Wei Ran shook the reassembled grenade in his hand and reminded, "I believe that the air rescue will arrive soon, and that Wild Boar George platoon leader will not allow anyone to get these films before him."
"And my interview notes."
Zach said anxiously, "I don't want Team T to find my interview notes before me and send out the press release."
