"We will strike at night. The enemy will try to starve us to death, But we won't let them! We will break out of this stranglehold even if its the last thing we do!" I said
I was explaining the plans to the NUAF soldiers. Spore took a back seat, I admire him for allowing other soldiers to voice any opinions or plans. Maybe he was out of ideas and was desperate for a way out of here.
One recruit raises his hand.
"Ask away," I said
"If the enemy regroups and manages to strike back what are we going to do?"
"Spore told me that the last message he received was that Alexander and Queen are attempting to break us out of here before the Radio hut got destroyed. We will have to strike fast and hard. Any delays will cost more lives." I then said "The enemy is dug in trenches like us. Ready your clubs, shovels, and knives because this will get bloody and up close and personal.
That was the good news the men were dying to hear. A glimmer of hope shot in their eyes there was a chance we can make it out of here alive.
"Who is with me?" I scream and raise my rifle.
Canary stands up and said, "I'm joining. I'll take down many of these cults fucks before I die.
Then another man stands up and says "I'm carrying our banner!"
"I'm joining!"
"I'm chiming in!" Boone said
"Count me in!"
"They will pay for what they have done to our scouts!"
I was amazed the entire room was rowdy as men stood up wanting to join me in battle.
I raised my rifle even higher and shout our battle cry "HOOHA!"
"HOOHA!"
They shout in unison and stomp their feet.
"HOOHA!"
They shout even louder and the ceiling of the bunker moves as they stomped their feet together!
"We are going to need explosives and lots of ammunition. This is a message to Alexander that we are not going to keel over and die and a message to the V.A.F that we are not to be trifled with!"
That morning we made preparations. All of the leftover Vodka was turned into Molotov Cocktails, We scavenged all leftover copper wires for our C4, All available ammunition was scrounged up and we disassembled our Heavy Machine gun for transportation.
In the dead of night, we abandoned the camp. Once we are reinforced by Alexander and Queen we will reclaim this damn hill.
To avoid detection we all had to follow each other's footsteps literally. That way the enemy thinks there is only one person traveling that was our last resort. The last person had to drag a large palm leaf across the ground to erase our tracks.
The moment we get spotted this entire plan will fall apart.
But out of sheer dumb luck, we were undetected.
"Over there! Lights!" Boone whispered as he scanned the area using his scope.
"That must be the enemy camp," Canary said.
We needed to move closer and deploy the Machine gun for maximum carnage.
But there was an enemy tower ahead that will spot us if we deploy the MG.
"Boone, Spore and Canary." I said silently "Come with me we have guards to deal with."
There was a barbed wire blocking our path. Spore used his AK bayonet to cut the wire.
