Alpha Squad, Airfield A, Squad Leader, Carthings:
Alpha squad moved through the fields, they were overlooking the airfield from a hill.
"Blasted storms, dysentery, dirt in your arse, dirt in your eyes, dirt in your lungs, dirt in your kidneys, dirt in your foreskin, all will be forgotten." Carthings began as he took out a small bottle, taking a swig from it. "Take it. Now, let's take a drink of rum. Drink. Do not think. Do not be yourself tonight. Remember this... When we are among them, your mother is not watching. Let's move."
The Squad, which consisted of Carthings, Greengrass, Privates James, Reacher, and Rowling, moved in on foot, their weapons in hand and their bags full of timed explosives for the planes.
Upon reaching the perimeter of the airfield, they began to navigate the airfield, using their bayonets to prod the ground in search of mines. They were navigating the minefield inch by inch until eventually they reached the perimeter fence.
"Greengrass, cut the wire and the fence, Reacher. Get up in that watchtower and take the sniper out, provide overwatch." Carthings said as they nodded.
Greengrass used wire cutters to get through the barbed wire before moving onto the fence, cutting through it. The group moved in and Reacher started moving towards the sniper tower, he drew his knife and climbed up the ladder with his knife in his mouth, he climbed up behind the sniper and covered their mouth with his hand before using his knife to stab the sniper in the throat, before setting up with their sniper, keeping an eye out for anymore guards.
Carthings and his men pushed onto the air strip, using their bayonets to silently kill the guards before moving up to the planes and planting their explosives on the planes, with each soldier getting ten bombs each. The Germans were in their huts, unaware of what was happening outside, after all enemy forces were across the channel and anyone trying to get in would likely be blown up by mines or shot by their snipers. Either way, they would not be caught by surprise.
Meanwhile, Carthings and his men where planting their bombs, with Greengrass planting some on the side of the soldiers huts, the five of them leaving through the front entrance, taking time to steal some cars with mounted MG42 machine guns on the front.
The explosions went off and the squad managed their get away, watching from the distance as the planes went up in flames as they disappeared into the night, heading to the Rendezvous...
Bravo Squad, Airfield B, Squad Leader, Sgt Jones:
Jones and his men had infiltrated their airfield by hanging onto the bottom of the fuel trucks coming from a supply depot, arriving and rolling oud from under them before using their bayonets to silently kill guards.
"Jackson, Smith, You two go around the left side of the airfield, plant your bombs, meet back at this truck, for heavens sake don't be seen. Tennant, Kingsley, you two take the right side. I'll take the middle. Now, be back at this truck before those bloody bombs go off." Jones said as his men nodded.
Jackson and Smith set off towards the left side of the airfield, sneaking into the hangars and using bayonets to silently kill the guards before hiding their bodies in lockers and chests. As soon as the bodies were hidden, they began planting their bombs in the planes.
