Planet of trouble

the soldiers

After my dropship landed after the marines cleared up, generalissimo Glupski sought to see the battlefield as his new base for becoming a new factory to make a profit on the slavery in this planet, me and my section mates want to kill him so bad, but munity has to be held back for a while, because the corporal and his 2ic the elder private gave us a debriefing.

We are to meet up with the platoon of the 3rd company (which are part of 3rd infantry Corp), and with our platoon leader we shall advance an attack with the entire company on a bunker which has destroyed 5 tanks and killed 43 of our men and pinned down 7, the 8th company will supply us a tank section to aid us.

Considering that they destroyed 5 tanks, what will stop them to 12?

Did not matter, we are finally here, we get off our drop ship and we hop on the APC, we soon drive to the rally, we get off and we line up to 3 ranks out of the 12 of us.

The platoon leader gives a speech before we fight "those guards have a heavy bunker, platoon 2 and 3 will aid us in our company attack, each section has their orders! Section 1. You are aimed to flank the left with section 1 from platoon 2 and section 1 from platoon 3, with the aid of 6 tanks. Section 2 will strike the centre with 2 and 3 platoon with aids of APC, and finally section 3 and 4 (us) will attack the right with 6 tanks with you know."

*** 1 hour

The time to attack was now, i hope on a tank and sit on the back with my section, as soon as we arrive at the hill, *B O O M* the ground rose with the tank i sat on, soon it heathed and some men and the tank shattered, i heard ringing in my ears and i can see red, i picked up a rifle and rested my back on the flipped over tank and i peak around the corner and seen not only a massive concrete hill with a few heavy machine guns, but one with 12 Inch 6 pounder artillery, 5 metre wide coastal guns, 10 7 inch anti tank guns, 4 mortars on the wall.

And Infront laid 10s and 10s and 100s of soldiers, charging, dying or dead.

Tanks either move up and fire or lay as burnt scrap, i see marines dead, soldiers cowering and sometimes fool charges to earn a medal or fame.

while company and platoon commanders form a circle behind a tank to plan out and get out the cesspit they fell in.

I look away to focus and i see my section commander and his 2ic lay riddled with holes.

It didn't matter i need to focus and find a way around, thats it a way around, i asked my 2 section mates to gather as much explosive, and to sneak around the bunker.

We found a vent on the wall of the bunker, one lad threw a grenade and we heard something land on our feet, i knew what it was so i ran out of fear, they called me a coward.

But after they said that they both blew up into limbs and guts, with other bombs and explosive caused a bigger explosion that ripped a 20 metre deep hole where the generator for the lights was, i was blown back and once i got up i noticed this gap thanks for those mates i grabbed my rifle and charged to it but, they must have heard it because already 4 appeared and started firing.

I ducked to cover but what must have been 2 minutes because my platoon leader came up to me and asked me about the hole that was in the back side of the wall.

I answered yes, with new men.

He brought me up and showed at least 12 guards running away, while 19 surrender.

The Platoon leader, told me to rally with my section for a platoon count and a award, i rally with my platoon and find my section, section 4 was just me and no one else, that tank had everyone and that explosion killed them both.

There was only 9 soldiers out of the 50 that was in the platoon, the platoon leader came up and has been promoted to elder sergeant by captain Anderson, company of the 3rd.

The elder sergeant (formerly Platoon leader) says that he will work for the company commander but I will become the section commander.

I get to skip the ranks and went from private and straight up to Elder sergeant.

I love this promotion and i will lead section 4 to glory of olivandria! First i need to kill that Generalissimo.
