Traditionally, our army jawaans have always captured our fancy. What with their hard struggle and exhilarating training to fight wars and protect this country.
This Pakistani soldier’s story of an intense encounter in Mohmand Angency will leave you mind-blown So @TheGutterfly, who is apparently a soldier in the Pakistan Army, tweeted his experience in Mohmand Angency in the wee hours of April 26, 2016 narrating how he once almost got himself killed, thanks to his
adrenaline.
We were already half way inside the valley and had setup a stronghold just beyond their mortar range. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
And like a good little qurbani k bakra that I was I said yessirr! @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
That was my first independent operation that I conducted so I was also very nervous. But I had to show my men— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
@TheGutterfly
I was roaring and we were raising battle cries and whatnot. Okay one more thing...@TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Anyhoo, we crept further inside and strangely enough we weren't being raided by the fire which I was expecting. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
But those conniving motherfuckers let me in further. I know what you're thinking. I had to know better. But I dint. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Along came the infamous whizzing sound of a bullet. It nearly missed the tk comd's head and almost tore the cupola. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
When u've been in war long enough u observe little things about the surroundings that come in handy. It's called minor tactics@TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
As soon as that first bullet hit the cupola my mind had instantly generated an image of a fucking 14.5 caliber. Google it! @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
@TheGutterfly in a layman's terms, had it hit me, it would've torn me to pieces. So anyways..— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
..track of the tanks. And then guess what @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
I shouted and cursed him at the top of my voice but the joke was on me because he couldn't hear me over the sound of intense @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
..the incoming. So I read nad e Ali and started running like a dog towards the line of trees some 300 meters away to my right @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
I was recalling those movies where the guy who's about to die gets flashes of his life and loved ones and whatnot.. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Them. I kept cursing all those movies all the while running with intense machine gun, 12.7 mm, 14.5, mortar and sniper @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
A battalion of non commissioned. So I escaped the first volley and jumped inside the clump. But it seemed as if they were @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Now I was detached from my men completely. The FC tanks had abandoned me and had started withdrawing. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
My camos were drenched in mud, knee high from running through a swamp (something I dint realise while running) @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Slowing down. My worst nightmare (Because that means that they've stopped firing from distance and are closing in on you) @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Kept running way inside the jungle. I saw a graveyard. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Of sorts... @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
It was to be my sanctuary for the night. Now I could hear those fuckers in the distance @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
My AK on my chest with its muzzle on my crotch, the weapon was unsafe and my finger in the trigger guard @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
Now I could hear their voices very clearly. They were speaking in Pushto and arguing about if there was one guy or two. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
It started itching on my groin as they were less than 20 paces away from me @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
They kept roaming about the area for a couple of hours and went back to their hideout. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
@TheGutterfly so I just pressed the pushin and kept it pressed— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
@TheGutterfly I kept it pressed for an hour before my CO got pissed off and got everyone's Motorola checked. And then it hit the Jarhead— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
@TheGutterfly so he called on the main channel, called me out and asked me to switch to channel 3 if I was listening. I did.— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
The end. @TheGutterfly— B (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2016
