When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite

2 peaceful days had passed by. Waking up at the crack of dawn, I looked up into the red sky. It seems to be an omen that something is about to happen. 'ATTENTION ALL UNITS! ASSEMBLE IN THE PARADE SQUARE FULL CAMOU-U IN 15 MINUTES!' I quickly went back to my bunk, shook up some sleepy heads, and get dressed in the shortest time possible.
Falling in stomach in chest out, the lieutenant breived us of our upcoming, critical mission. We would now be the 'aggressors' and take out the communists, we shall go to them since they do not want to come to us. We would need to cross this jungle before reaching the main checkpoint before attacking. It would be dangerous for us to cross the jungle. Communists guerrillas are suspected to frequent at that place.
So picking up our SAR21, we moved towards our targets. Leaving the base camp, the jungle was just 5 minutes walk away from us. Before entering the jungle, we were to move cautiously, keeping our senses alert for any guerrillas. Moving thourgh cautiously, I was actually liking it. I was actually liking the war! I really want to kick some ass.
A rustle could be heard some distance away. We stopped short in our tracks. Looking around with rifles held up, prepared to shoot at any foreign objects that pop out. DANG DANG! 'GET DOWN! WE ARE BEING ATTACKED!' Suddenly bullets started to fly in every single way, hitting people that were in the way. We could not see where they are, how are we supposed to shoot. Then I saw a pattern, all bullets are coming at our 2 o'clock position. Further shooting by the guerrillas comfirm my hypothesis. I crawled over to the officer in charge and told him that. He agreed with me and ordered every abled man to shoot in that direction.
Without any time wasted, we began to spray bullets over. The return fire seems to thin away into the deep forest. 'CEASE FIRE!' was heard and we stopped. 'LET'S MOVE ON!' We began to creep towards the place where the guerrillas were suspected to come from. We found 5 bodies lying and some blood trails. Thinking that it would be dangerous to fight unknown enemies, we began to crept away from the blood trails.
Everything went by smoothly after that, or rather too smoothly. Upon breaking through of the forest, bullets came flying straight at us. People fell dead without even knowing what hit them. The war had finally began, its a battle to survive.
To be continue...
