Fallen Angels 300-312

Lieutenant Gearhart rallied everybody they got new orders to take a hill that has been crawling with Viet Congs. They run up the mountain not taking any fire and wait up there waiting for something to happen. They then were called back down the hill. They reach the rendezvous position and are told to follow the ARVN up the hill to protect their rear. On their way to the hill they start taking heavy artillery fire and are forced to run for a tree line. They bunker down there and return fire to the wood-line where all the muzzle flashes were coming from. They needed to evacuate but it was to hot for a chopper to come in so they made their way to a nearby village. They reach the village and start clearing it out. Finally some gunships came in and cleared everything around the village and the medevac choppers where right behind them. They return back to the base and wait about week gathering their energy. They are again called up for another assignment. They are sent to look at suspicious activity by a river. They make it to the river and walk about 4 kilometers along it and do not see anything. Then they see something in the reeds beside the river. They open up on it and see blood splash in the water and hear the screams of the enemy in the reeds. They light up the whole bed of the river killing everybody. Perry and Peewee are then sent to cross the river and check to see if there is any activity on the other side of it. Not being the strongest swimmers it takes Perry and Peewee tell about midnight to get to the other side. They are then greeted by voices of the enemy, they open up on the voices and run away being highly outnumbered. They take cover in a spider hole that was dug by a VC. They wait for the voices to leave. They wait tell about sun up and then they hear the voices again and wait. They were moving out but one VC makes his way to the spider hole. He jabs a pole with a knife on the end inside missing both Peewee and Perry. He throws his gun in and then starts to climb in. While he is climbing in Perry grabbed his rifle and shot him in the back twice. He struggles and Peewee strangles him to death. They leave the hole a while later to look for their squad. They find Monaco laying up against a tree surrounded by VC that made him call in a chopper. The choppers showed up and Perry and Peewee opened fire on the VC and the bushes they were hiding in. They grabbed Monaco and jumped on the choppers. Perry was shot on the leg while hanging out of it and Peewee was hit in the stomach. They escaped alive and went to the hospital. They found out the rest of their squad is alive and good back at base. Peewee and Perry's wounds are both bad enough that they get to be shipped back to the states. Monaco had to return back to his squad. Peewee and Perry get on the plain and start their journey back to the states alive.
