阿甘正传（英文版）6
．．．
that night was long an unfortable。 we couldn'；t fly our airplanes； so'；s they
got to shell us most of the evenin for free。 they was a little saddle between two ridges； an they
was on one ridge an we on the other； an down in the saddle was where the dispute were takin
place— tho what anybody would want with that piece of mud an dirt； i do not know。 however；
sergeant kranz have said to us time an again that we was not brought over here to understand
what is goin on； only to do what we is tole。
pretty soon； sergeant kranz e up an start tellin us what to do。 he says we has got to
move the machine gun about fifty meters aroun to the lef of a big ole tree stickin up in the middle
of the saddle； an fine a good safe place to put it so'；s we is not all blowed away。 from what i can
see an hear； anyplace； includin where we presently are； is not safe； but to go down in that saddle
is goddamn absurd。 however； i am tryin to do the right thing。
me an bones； the machine gunner； an doyle； another ammo bearer； an two other guys crawl
out of our holes an start to moving down the little slope。 halfway down； the gooks see us an
mence to shootin with they own machine gun。 fore anything bad happens； tho； we has
scrambled down the slope an into the jungle。 i cannot remember how far a meter is exactly； but it
almost the same as a yard； so when we get near the big tree； i say to doyle； 〃maybe we better
move lef；〃 an he look at me real hard…like； an growl； 〃shut you ass； forrest； they is gooks here。〃
sure nuf； they was six or eight gooks squattin under the big ole tree； havin they lunch。 doyle take
a han grenade an pull the pin an sort of lob it into the air toward the tree。 it blowed up fore it hit
the groun an they is all sorts of wild chatterin from where the gooks is— then bones open up with
the machine gun an me an the two other guys heave in a couple more han grenades for good
measure。 all of that gone down in just a minute or so； an when it e quiet again； we be on our
way。
we foun a place to put the gun an stayed there till it got dark— an all night long； too； but
nothin happen。 we could hear all sorts of shit goin on everplace else； but we be lef to ourselfs。
sunup e； an we hungry an tired； but there we is。 then a runner e from sergeant kranz
who say charlie pany is goin to start movin into the saddle soon as our airplanes have totally
wiped out the gooks there； which is to be in a few minutes。 sure enough； the planes e an drop
they shit an everthin get exploded an wipe out all the gooks。
we can see charlie pany movin off the ridge line； in down into the saddle； but no
sooner does they get over the edge of the ridge an start strugglin along the slope； than all the
weapons in the world mence to shootin at charlie pany an droppin mortars an all； an it is
terrible confusion。 from where we is； we cannot see any gooks； on account of the jungle is thick
as bonfire brush； but somebody sure be in there shootin at charlie pany。 maybe it the
dutch— or even the norwegians— who knows？
bones； the machine gunner； lookin extremely nervous durin all this； on accounta he'；s already
figgered out that the shootin is in from in front of us； meanin that the gooks is in between us
an our own position。 in other words； we is out here alone。 sooner or later； he says； if the gooks do
not overrun charlie pany； they will e back this way； an if they find us here； they will not
like it one bit。 point is； we got to move our asses。
we get our shit together an begin to work back towards the ridge； but as we do； doyle
suddenly look down off our right to the bottom of the saddle an he see an entire busload of new
gooks； armed to the teeth； movin up the hill towards charlie pany。 best thing we coulda done
then was to try an make friends with em an forget all this other shit； but that were not in the cards。
so we jus hunkered down in some big ole shrubs an waited till they got to the top of the hill。 then
bones let loose with the machine gun and he must of kilt ten or fifteen of them gooks right off。
doyle an me an the other two guys is thowin grenades； an things is goin our way until bones runs
out of ammo an need a fresh belt。 i feed one in for him； but just as he bout to sqeeze the
trigger； a gook bullet hit him square in the head an blowed it inside out。 he lyin on the ground；
han still holdin to the gun for dear life； which he does not have any more of now。
oh god； it were awful— an gettin worst。 no tellin what them gooks would of done if they
caught us。 i call out to doyle to e here； but they is no answer。 i jerk the machine gun from po
ole bones'； fingers an squirm over to doyle； but he an the two other guys layin there shot。 they
dead； but doyle still breathin； so'；s i grap him up an thow him over my shoulder like a flour sack
an start runnin thru the brush towards charlie pany； cause i scared outta my wits。 i runnin for
maybe twenty yards an bullets wizzin all aroun me from behin； an i figger i be shot in the ass for
sure。 but then i crash thru a canebreak an e upon a area with low grass an to my surprise it is
filled with gooks； lyin down； lookin the other way； an shootin at charlie pany— i guess。
now what do i do？ i got gooks behin me； gooks in front of me an gooks right under my feet。
i don'；t know what else to do； so i charge up full speed an start to bellowin an howlin an all。 i sort
of lose my head； i guess； cause i don'；t remember what happen nex cept i still be bellowin an
hollerin loud as i can an runnin for dear life。 everthin were pletely confused； an then all of a
sudden i am in the middle of charlie pany an everbody be slappin me on the back jus like i
made a touchdown。
it seem like i done frightened off the gooks an they hightail it back to wherever they live。 i
put down doyle on the groun an the medics e an start fixin him up； an pretty soon the
