Riordan biography: Excerpt #3
Bravo Company got hit again hard on January 15, 1968, just two weeks after the battle at Firebase Burt. The company was patrolling in the jungle in the early afternoon about seven kilometers away from the firebase. Third Platoon was on point, scouting out the area about 300 meters in front of the rest of the company, when they walked into a large Viet Cong bunker complex and came under intense fire. The platoon leader, platoon sergeant and one of the squad leaders were killed, and several others were badly wounded. Hemphill then moved Fourth Platoon up to form a small perimeter behind the men who were pinned down, while Second Platoon went up to evacuate the other two platoons and help the wounded.
Larry Robinson of First Platoon remembers what happened next. “Oliver saved my life,” he says. “All hell broke loose. Our platoon was pinned down and most of the guys were dead or wounded. Out of twenty-four guys, I would say at least twenty were down. I was hit, hiding behind an anthill. For about two hours we just listened to the Viet Cong jabbering, plotting and scheming, and we kept wondering when they were going to jump out of their foxholes and finish us off. Then Oliver came running up. They'd been close by in the jungle, but it was so thick they couldn't find us. We couldn't talk to them on the radio because all the officers and sergeants had been killed, so there wasn't anyone with a radio. One of our guys said, 'Shoot your rifle, Robinson, and they'll hear it.' My rifle had been hit by a bullet and part of the mechanism was exposed, but I shot it anyway and it went off, and up came Oliver with about seven other guys. I said, 'Be careful,' and they said, 'Oh, we'll go get 'em,' and they jumped over the anthill I was hiding behind. They weren't very careful and they ran right into a tripwire the VC had rigged. Three of them were wounded, including Oliver....All I know is Stone saved me. That took the heat off us, They tried to help us and they ended up getting pretty messed up themselves and wound up crawling back until someone else came for them. But Oliver would do things like that if called upon, things like that to help others out. He was a good soldier.”

"Stone saved my life"
AMBUSH (fanuary 15, 1968) - First platoon was under heavy fire when Oliver Stone and his buddies from second platoon saved the day. First platoon was ambushed shortly after we had stopped to eat our c-rations around noon. Lt. Richard Walker was the first to get it. He walked right in on an enemy bunker and was killed by machine gun fire. Shortly afterwards, my squad leader, Sgt. Thomas Watts, was hit along with several other guys. I heard our Platoon Sgt. Ernest Martin, yell at his RTO Gary Payton to “tell them to get that god damn artillery off us!” Then a second later, in came an artillery round right over my head, landing on Sgt. Martin. He was killed instantly. About that time, an AK grazed my head. Those of us that could, low crawled back about 50 feet and got behind some big anthills for cover. We continued to fire until we ran out of ammunition. About this time, a very heroic Medic, Spec. 4 Dick Reisch, jumped up from behind his anthill and ran out into the firing to pull Tom Watts back behind my anthill. Tom had been hit with AK fire about 5 or 6 times. He was still alive and I tried my best to comfort him. Twice, the medic tossed me morphine syringes to give Tom shots to ease his pain. Unfortunately, Tom died on his way back to the field hospital. First platoon was completely out of ammunition. We could hear the gooks chattering about something or other and we thought they were going to get out of their bunkers to finish us off. About that time, Oliver Stone and four of his buddies came crawling up behind us. I told them to be careful, that there were a lot of VC in front of us. Stone said they would go get them. Stone and second platoon members crawled forward toward the enemy bunkers and all we could hear was a chorus of AK and M16 fire. Stone and the others came crawling back. Most of them had been wounded including Stone. What this did for first platoon was to let the enemy know we still had live bodies with live ammo, thus dissuading them from getting out of their bunkers to execute us. For this I will always be grateful. Stone and his buddies saved the day because it bought us enough time for the 2/224 APCs to come to our rescue. They clambered up behind us firing away with their 50 caliber machine guns.
