During the travel under the cover of night, we kept aware of our surroundings til we heard talking.
Gillan order us to find cover, we hide behind trees and logs as a small group of Men wearing green uniforms walk past us talking in Russian. Once they left we came out and kept moving.
"Speztnaz G.R.U" Gillan said, I needed to know how does Gillan know these guys and why are their Soviet troops in Vietnam.
"Sir...Why are Soviet troops in Vietnam? what is our main objective for MACVSOG?" Gillan sighed deeply.
"Gentleman...MACVSOG is a Green Beret group meaning it's Special Forces conducting unconventional warfare MACVSOG main objective to assist American and allied troops in South Vietnam, I'm a Green Beret" He says.
"Your Special Forces? but none of us are" I said to which Gillan looked at me "I know that, back then there was a special program called Project 100,000 where we sent Soldiers with below average IQs in hope that war will make them smart...it failed"
"So we're apart of this?" Paul asked which Gillan snapped "No! God almighty no...The project was finished by that time...no...This is a new project called Operation Trojan, it's a special project of putting a Green Beret like myself into a group of normal Soldiers to see if they can stick doing Special Operations your previous Sergeant Nolan was Green Beret as well"
"So a project where a Green Beret leads a group of normal Soldiers?" I questioned, "That's right you boys are the only ones and hopefully the last one's Nolan told me of you boys you each survived and have special skills like a Green Beret" He looked at us smiling.
"Bucky you have skills of a Marksman, Paul you got guts and courage, Scully you kept yourself professional despite the stress of war, Marshall haha you took no shit from Command when you yell into a radio, Kyle you known human anatomy to save a man's life and you Anthony you got guts and the will to survive, that's why you boys were brought into MACVSOG despite not being Green Beret and I am damn proud of all of you" He says.
If we weren't in the middle of enemy territory we would all shed some tears after learning why we were formed we continue the mission.
During our search we encountered some of the wildlife, a wild cat across the river.
It simply stared at us as we went past, I looked at it and held a smirk on my face stating at it. Bucky was in a tree looking through his scope til he warned Gillan over a patrol coming in.
They were mainly NVA, we set up an ambush point and awaited for them. We used trees as leverage, once the NVA were below us we open fire at them.
They were confused and had a hard time fighting back so it made it easier for us. "Gave them a taste of their own medicine" Kyle said.
After the Ambush we continue to move til we stopped as Gillan ordered Bucky and I to move ahead as we're supposedly nearing the target.
Bucky was handed a photo of the target as me and him went up ahead, the photo was of a European Man wearing a Business suit.
Not sure he was but we have to bag and tag him.
Bucky and I went through the tall grass which luckily covered us especially Bucky in his Ghillie Suit. I wouldn't dare lift my head up and risk getting shot or captured leaving Bucky exposed.
I stopped us as I got into a crouching position and looked a bit over the the tall grass, we were approaching a base camp filled with NVA and a few other Asian Soldiers. "What?" Bucky whispered, "I think we found our spot" I said.
We slowly creepy up to the camp far but close enough, taking out some binoculars as I looked while Bucky used his scope.
We waited laying on our bellies as Soldiers walked through the camp sitting, drinking and eating. We continue to wait for the target as two NVA Generals or some form of Command walked out of the camp.
Then a man in a business suit stepped out smoking a cigar, he spoke in perfect vietnamese to the other two men.
Bucky looked at the picture and once he was sure it was the man he took aim and zero in his sights.
Bucky took a big deep breath then squeezed the trigger. The man's chest turned red quite fast as he dropped his cigar and fell backwards.
It almost looked to be slow once it was finished we quickly got up and ran through the tall grass. No doubt they'll be searching for us so we kept running.
Eventually we regroup and notify Gillan of our success we ran back for the boats. While we ran we heard shooting at us from behind.
I turned and saw not NVA but Spetsnaz chasing and firing at us. I quickly aimed and dropped one as he fell into the dirt.
We hopped over a log and used trees for cover as we return fire at the Spetsnaz. We weren't fighting the NVA anymore but other Special Forces none of us were Special Forces except for Gillan.
We couldn't risk these guys following us back to the boat so we have to fight them off. Scully slammed fired his shotgun while Paul gave out suppressing fire.
Kyle and Marshall hide behind a log firing at the Spetsnaz I think Kyle or Marshall dropped one I just saw one flip over crashing into a small puddle of water.
Pulling a pin of a grenade and throwing it as one of them yelled in Russian before trying to throw it back but it exploded midair. Reloading my rifle I continue to fire taking down at least two Spetsnaz.
Gillan told us to pull back and keep running into the jungle so we did, these guys were relentless in hunting us down as they kept firing and we fired back.
We need to either get rid of them or lose them either way we can't let them find our boat so we can escape.
