In the early days of the Vietnam War, in a certain jungle in South Vietnam, there was a terrible "ghost" that made the US military smell discolored.
This "ghost" is uncertain and difficult to catch, and either does not shoot, or it will hit a blow, killing people invisibly.
She is not only good at killing people, but also good at torturing people, killing people, and her methods are vicious, and american soldiers see those who are tortured to death by her, and their scalps are tingling.
The legend of this "ghost" once raged inside the US military barracks, reaching the point where many soldiers could not sleep at night and talk about it, and finally the US military was forced to be helpless and could only urgently ask for help from the military high-level.
This "ghost" is not a ghost, but a Vietnamese female sniper.
In order to deal with this "legendary" female soldier, the US military finally dispatched the ace killer - Bai Yu, and in the end, the female soldier was shot and killed for accidentally exposing her gender in a squatting position and toilet.
The jungle of horror
After the end of World War II, with the overall victory of the Chinese Communist Party, communism gradually began to infiltrate Southeast Asia, the most typical of which was Vietnam.
In the 1950s, before the reunification of the North and the South of Vietnam, the development of the CPV government led by Ho Chi Minh was unstoppable in Vietnam.
Fearing the further spread of communism in Southeast Asia, the United States began supporting the South Vietnamese government and waged war against the North Vietnamese government in November 1955.
In the southern part of Vietnam, there is a large mountain range that is high and extremely dangerous, known as Highland 55 in wartime.
Highland 55 is located south of Da Nang City, Quang Nam Province, at the junction of the Yen, Eco and Lasso rivers.
It is the commanding height of a large stretch of mountains around it, and if You lose No. 55 Highland, the river plains a little further back will become a flat river, and there is no danger to defend.
Such a place where soldiers and families must fight, the US military will naturally not let go.
At the beginning of the war, they took advantage of their strong naval and air superiority to land at Da Nang and then began to focus on eliminating the Viet Cong forces near Highland 55.
However, since the outbreak of the Vietnam War, it has not been fought with the strength of one country, and he still has the support of China and the Soviet Union behind him.
Vietnam's vast mountains are full of deep mountains and old forests, which are very suitable for guerrilla warfare.
The CCP was the originator of guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare, so for 11 years from the end of 1955 to 1966, although the US military basically eliminated the Viet Cong's constituent forces in Hill 55, it also paid an extremely heavy price.
After the large groups of Viet Cong troops were eliminated, small groups of guerrillas began to appear one after another, attacking the American troops everywhere and making them tired of coping.
In 1966, the U.S. military began to make up its mind to completely purge the remnants of the Viet Cong near Hill 55.
To this end, in early February, the 9th Marine Division deliberately placed an artillery company at the commanding heights here to cover all the nearby mountains, while sending a large number of troops to start patrolling the outside, trying to knock on the mountains and shock the tiger and cover the base forces.
The Viet Cong guerrillas, of course, could not please the U.S. military, and they also sent their own ace killers.
Not long after the us military base was built, gradually, the US patrol soldiers began to be assassinated in the jungle one after another.
The other side shot, clean and neat, a hit must hit, hit the run, never drag mud with water, do not leave any traces, so that the US military does not know the identity of the opponent, nor the number of opponents, sometimes even the position of the opponent is not clear.
As night spread, in the pitch-black jungle, a group of American troops crept forward.
Every time they reach such a deep jungle, they instinctively begin to fear.
Suddenly, a shot was fired, and another American soldier fell down in response, and the others heard the sound and could only hold their heads and look for cover.
The killer was fierce, and she never beat anyone to death, but hung it from a distance, waiting like bait for others to send her to the muzzle of the gun.
If the American soldiers were not afraid of death and had to step forward to save them, but the sound of gunfire had sounded in another unexpected position, another person would fall.
If he did not save, then this soldier would inevitably become her prisoner, leaving him with an even more miserable fate.
The killer wandered through the jungle like a "ghost", plundering the lives of American troops one by one, and the American troops could do nothing about her.
Gradually, inside the US military barracks, a sense of fear of war arose, and a large number of soldiers began to resist patrolling, afraid of walking into the terrible jungle and becoming ghosts under the guns of ghosts.
Even if she was lucky enough to stay in the barracks, even the nightmare could not get rid of her pursuit, and several of them were even tortured to the point of mental breakdown.
Female Apaches
In the history of the United States, there was a group of people who made them talk about it, that is, the Apaches, the local indigenous Indians who had encountered europeans when they first immigrated to the Americas.
The Apaches not only killed people, but also tortured people, and the methods were bloody and terrifying, which made many American troops feel frightened.
At that time, the US military spent a great price to figure out that the other side hunted them mainly by one person, and usually she alone led a 4-person squad against the entire US military camp, stirring up more than a hundred US troops.
The opponent whom the U.S. military regards as a great enemy has two characteristics of killing:
First, she likes to throw bait and kill people, and surround the point to help.
Second, she likes to abuse and kill people.
The man's abuse of prisoners seemed irregular, and sometimes he captured the American troops, cut off their fingers one by one, and then put him back.
Sometimes she cut off her fingers and held them, castrated him, then released him under the eyes of the U.S. troops, and finally hid in the shadows and shot him in front of the U.S. troops.
As for those who were unfortunate enough to be killed on the spot in the battle, as long as the US military found the body, the eyelids were cut off, and the entire eyeballs were stared at, the US military believed that this was a cruel means of intimidation by her.
The U.S. military comprehensively analyzed her killing methods and believed that it was very similar to the Apaches, so it gave her a chilling title - Apaches.
In addition, the Apaches are extremely good at creating panic and constantly amplifying the fear of the US military.
Sometimes the U.S. military will see their captured comrades running bloodily to everyone, and "Run GI, Run!" will be heard in the deep jungle behind them." Howl.
When the captives were about to reach the Americans, she would shoot another insidious shot in the back, followed by a whole dark hill, resounding with her ghostly creepy laughter.
Because the fear of the Apaches inside the barracks was on the verge of mutiny, the U.S. army could only decide to defend strategically and return to the barracks without sending people out to patrol.
But that doesn't mean the Apaches will give up.
The essence of guerrilla warfare is to "attack us when the enemy advances and retreats, and when the enemy retreats, we fight, and we are surprised and unprepared to attack."
Although the U.S. army could not shrink the camp, the opponent simply pressed to the mountain gate, and even the soldiers who stood guard in the battalion would be blackened one after another.
Sometimes, even sleeping tents are overturned by grenades, making them afraid to sleep during the day and dare not close their eyes at night.
The U.S. army hated this opponent so much that it always wanted to grab her with a thousand knives, but the Xingshi mobilized the crowd several times to encircle and suppress, and each time it lost the lady and folded the soldiers.
Mo said that when he caught her, he could not even see the shadow of his opponent, let alone know that the opponent he regarded as a great enemy was actually a woman.
In the end, the US troops on Hill 55 finally couldn't hold back, and could only put down their faces and admit that they were incompetent, and asked the military top brass to dispatch a master who could absolutely crush the opponent to kill it in one fell swoop.
The U.S. military top brass received a request for help, and in view of the importance of Hill 55, sent a terrifying killing god on the battlefield.
Killing God "White Feather"
The "God of Killing" sent by the US military is Carlos Norman Hascock, one of the world's top ten snipers, nicknamed "White Feather".
White feathers have a very high prestige among the US army, the US military once popularized such a sniper myth, bai yu used to pin a white feather on the top of the head, the means were sinister and fierce, often using the sniper rifle in his hand, killing people invisibly, never lost his hand.
Among the many undead who died under the white feather gun, one enemy was even directly pierced through the scope by the bullet fired by the white feather, piercing the temple.
Born into an American orion family, Bai Yu is said to have begun to form an indissoluble relationship with guns at the age of seven, following his grandfather and father to the mountains to hunt ferocious beasts, and is extremely good at camouflage and sniping.
At the age of 17, Bai Yu was recruited by the army and trained to become a sniper.
Bai Yu became famous in the first mission, and none of the targets he locked on escaped, almost all of them were killed by one shot.
Soon, he became a strategic weapon for the US military to deter the enemy, making the enemy feel frightened.
Bai Yu's endurance is amazing, his heart is extraordinary, and sometimes in order to hunt targets, he can even lie on the ground for several days without eating or drinking.
He often uses two sniper rifles, one is the M21 and the other is the M700, the former can be used for short-range replenishment, and the latter can be used for long-range precision shooting, so that the target can not escape.
Bai Yu usually does not shoot easily, the task is the military high-level dispatch, his appearance, but also represents that the life of the "Apaches" will be in danger.
A contest of masters
But on the other side, this "female Apache" is equally extraordinary.
She has excellent environmental adaptability and an extremely keen sense of crisis, and often skillfully uses the bunker to snipe the enemy, one shot must be hit, one shot to change places, and never let the opponent have a trace.
At the same time, her guerrilla tactics and individual combat ability are also outstanding, and she can do it without stopping over more than ten kilometers of mountains and rivers and valleys, until she leads her opponents to death in the mountains and forests.
What bothered the U.S. military the most was her sense of crisis, as she never seemed to have a fixed place to stay and live wherever she hit.
The 4 members of the team who accompanied her were all her peripheral guards, always alert to the wind and grass around them, and once there was a change, they had already roared into the forest and fled away.
At the beginning, the "female Apaches"'s behavior and sense of crisis also gave Bai Yu a headache.
Because before the US military did not even know the identity of the opponent, whether it was tall or short, male or female, which one it was, it was up to Bai Yu himself to observe and speculate.
There were 5 people in the "Female Apache" squad, and in order to avoid the deliberate assassination of her opponents, she asked everyone to wear the same clothes as her, dressed exactly the same, even the height and body shape were exactly the same from a distance.
Bai Yu, who had seen the opponent for the first time, concluded at a glance that this opponent was not simple.
However, the masters have their own advantages.
In the face of such a difficult opponent, Bai Yu was not completely helpless, at least at the moment he was in the dark, the enemy was in the light, which was the initiative for him.
And the opponent does not know that he has arrived, which increases the success rate of his killing target.
Bai Yu's killing skills are yin dove, patience, good at disguise and observation, so he decided to lie down and observe his opponent, and wait until he completely figured out which opponent was before shooting.
When he went to the toilet, he was sniped on the spot because of an action
In the beginning, the group of female Apaches had been haunted, and the time and place of their appearance seemed to be all by preference, and there was no regularity at all.
This caused The white feather to blow the northwest wind on the mountain for several days, but also found nothing.
But Bai Yu is known for his yin and perseverance, so he found that if his opponent did not appear during the day, he would come at night and not appear at night, so he would wait together day and night, and if there was no trace in one place, then change places.
Bai Yu is also good at finding the vantage point, there are only a few vantage points near the No. 55 highland that can be used for enemy sniping, as long as he waits for the rabbit nearby, there is always a time to encounter.
Within a few days, the group of female Apaches appeared in Bai Yu's field of vision.
However, even if the target appeared, Bai Yu did not pull the trigger for a long time.
Because the opponent is highly vigilant, extremely good at using bunkers and jungles to march, a little attention has disappeared;
Second, there are a total of 5 opponents, even the appearance is exactly the same, and there is no difference in features.
What is even more troublesome is that whether they are marching or resting, their division of labor is very clear, from patrols and vigilance to vigils, they are carried out in turn.
Such a vague target, you can't always pick a random shot to try your luck, so that the rest is bound to hit the grass and snake, and when they have vigilance and defense, it will be difficult to hit another blow.
Therefore, Bai Yu decided to wait until he completely figured out which opponent was.
For the next few days, Bai Yu lurked near the most frequently haunted areas of his opponents, lying on his stomach for several days and nights.
Finally, the Emperor Tian did not pay off, and slowly let him discover the exposed horse's feet of his opponent.
Through careful observation for a long time, Bai Yu found that although the opponents were extremely willing to achieve the same appearance, there was no special difference between standing guard and vigilance, but there were always strange scenes occasionally.
Bai Yu noticed that several times when the moving target suddenly stopped, it seemed that there was always one person crouching down, and everyone else turned around and pretended to be careless.
The other four people sometimes stopped and stood motionless for ten or twenty seconds.
Because it is far away, it can only be observed by the scope, and it is not real, so at first The white feather is still a little confused.
After observing more over time, Bai Yu suddenly realized that when the target stopped, it was definitely convenient.
Despite their high vigilance, the convenience of one person and the deliberate carelessness of others, they still showed signs.
But why did one of the targets squat? Suddenly, Bai Yu realized that the target of this always squatting was definitely a female soldier, and only female soldiers would be different from men who needed to squat when it was convenient, while other male soldiers needed to avoid suspicion and turn their backs.
In this way, everything makes sense.
For the rest of the time, he only needs to wait for the target to crouch down again and shoot it again.
Even if the target is in front of him and the identity has been determined, at this time, Bai Yu can still do it like a water.
He was going to observe again, silently reading the number of seconds every time he waited for the target to crouch.
He knew very well that only women needed to squat, and only small solutions were the shortest.
When the facts were finally determined as he expected, Bai Yu finally decided to take action.
When the target reappears, he lies quietly on a hill 700 yards away from the target, and then sees the target crouching again.
Bai Yu held his breath and began to read the seconds in his mind, and when he waited for about the same 20 seconds as usual, he shot at the target just as he was about to stretch his knees and stand still.
"Snap!" With a loud bang, a bullet was finally fired from the dark jungle in the distance, and the target fell in response.
The white feather head did not return, and quietly retreated all over the body.
This time, Bai Yu struck and made a contribution again.
In the following time, there was no more difficult opponent near Hill 55 than the female Apaches before, and the U.S. military determined that the target died under the white feather gun.
This female Viet Cong soldier, who had killed people invisibly and made the U.S. military talk different, never dreamed that she would eventually die in a squat toilet.
According to authoritative statistics, Bai Yuguang sniped and killed 93 targets during the Vietnam War.
One might think that the 93 were not much, and the record of 705 kills of the first killer, Finland's white grim reaper Simon Haye, was far behind.
But this was just his killing in the Vietnam War, and the real sniper mission could bring an observer a few times, not to mention a third witness. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that the number of real kills of White Feather is at least more than three times that of the confirmed kills.
Although for soldiers, after the outbreak of war, there is no right or wrong in killing the enemy on the battlefield, only the position and the difference between aggression and being invaded.
Bai Yu or the female Viet Cong soldier who was shot by him, they were all people who threw their heads and spilled their blood for the country.
But as far as the country is concerned, war is ultimately not worthy of admiration.
