Thorn In The Heart

         enemy. They let their enemy cross the landmark while they set
         up the traps, mines, and sniper for harassment and kill the enemy
         one by one to make the echo regard on the public.  Also, they
         tried  to  block  the  enemy  moving  for  help  their  heavy  troops
         withdraw the equipment out of the operation area in time, and
         prepare to reinforce for a fight if necessary.


             The  soldier  casualti                          scorched-earth
         resistance made the operated commanders holding the operation
         down in slowly forward. They let the tanks running on the paddy
         to  cover  the  army  on  the  field  and  fired  on  the  bamboo  bush
         positions around the villages that just had the sniper shoot. They
         ordered the canons and air force to drop the shells and bombs
         into  the  villages  where  they  thought  Vietminh  troops  were
         reinforcing and had a stronghold. The soldiers had opened fire
         on any the suspected places while they were slowly closing the
         villages.  Few  soldiers  felt  into  the  mental  mad  dog  after  they
         heard their friends screaming in suddenly and disappear after the
         high explosives were a blast as the thunder. Other cried loudly at
         the top of his voice while he was holding his friend, who was
         struggling in blood by snipers shoot and die on the paddy.

             The people were a crisis in dreadful hell of the explosives
         that were dropping on their heads to make the victory of either
         side. They were screaming in the flame and running out of the
         village in any directions then will be killed by the bullets of both
         sides.  Vietminh  guerrilla  snipers  shot  the  people  to  hold  them
         back and used them as the hiding shield. French and Vietnamese
         soldiers had fired at the people by the accidental crisis and had
         doubted of  Vietminh’s attack


             The  French  Union,  and    5th  Commando  Regiment  troops
         were  always  on  the  front  line.  They  searched  for  Vietminh
         anywhere after they had been overwhelming the villages. They
         threw  the  grenades  into  the  cellars  and  heard  the  scream  very
         loudly with the great consternation of some elders, women, and
         children before the grenades explode and the cellars collapse.
