Waves of Screaming Enemy

The North Koreans and the Chinese that, that were backing the Kor..., the North Koreans, they were coming in waves and waves and waves. There might have been maybe 40 or 50 Canadians in one, one group and there'd be two thousand Chinese and North Koreans in another group, coming at you. And they never stopped. If their first bunch went down, like you shot them or, like, if they were shot up, they just walked right over top of them and keep right on coming. I feel sorry for a lot of the Chinese people that come in waves, that had no weapons. They were just waves coming and when one bunch went down, the second bunch come and picked up whatever and walked right over barbed wire fences and everything else. They just draped them over and kept going. You see people coming, you don't know . . . You shoot, you shoot at them, you don't know if you hit ‘em or not. If they fall, somebody's got ‘em, but you're not sure if you did it. It's a feeling that, that you're next to me, you're my buddy, you're next to me. He's not gonna get you, if I can get him. Now, with the Bren gun, you can cover a lot of ground and you can take a lot of shots, and if you hit 'em, who knows. But they had more than one Bren gunner doing the same thing, and they have the other guys that are with the rifles, doing the same thing too, so you, you don't know if you shot ‘em or somebody else shot ‘em. But you know that, that he's not gonna get near your buddy, if you can help it. So, that's the protection that one another gives to one another, if we can do that. If we're in a, in a situation like that, your fear is kind of, have . . . puts you above being really scared. But you're scared. You're so scared, that you're beyond scared. Well, you, you hear screaming, you hear bursts of fire, you know like, just, steady fire, steady fire. And then all of a sudden, it will break, and then it'll start all over again. And that goes on and on and on for hours and that's the way it was.
