Скачать или смотреть How a US Watchman’s 'STUPID TRICK' Saved a Doomed Battalion

In the dark, humid jungles of the Pacific during World War II, the 132nd Infantry Battalion was trapped and surrounded. Cut off from supplies and communication, they waited nervously each night as enemy soldiers crept closer through the trees. Tension grew with every rustle in the dark—until one night watchman came up with what others called a stupid trick.

He tied empty ration cans together with bits of string and hung them around the camp’s perimeter, a crude alarm system that would rattle if anyone tried to sneak in. The idea seemed foolish, almost childish, but with nothing else to lose, they let him set it up.

On the fourth night, the stillness broke. The cans clanged suddenly—enemy soldiers were crawling toward them. Within seconds, the camp erupted. Flares shot into the sky, machine guns roared, and the attackers were forced to retreat, leaving behind their dead and wounded.

By sunrise, the battalion realized the truth: that so-called stupid trick had saved them all. What started as a desperate idea became the reason hundreds of men lived to see another dawn.
