The Battle

Tour 1

After six months I was good as new, now were going into another war against Europe, it was night time, I got dressed and grabbed my McMillan TAC-50, I slipped my Karambit into my back pocket, I put on my ghillie suit, man how do people wear these? When I got out, I saw 2LT. Liam, talking to General Macmillan, I walked over to them and asked. "When are we leaving 2LT. Liam?"

"Well once we get the tanks in the big cargo airplane. We could fill only 10 in there, but it'll be fine. Once we are close to the battlefield, Ace the pilot, will drop you off and Conner there on top of a hill, and that's where you and Conner are going to stay there. You have your sniper rifle, right?"

"Yes sir, I do have my sniper rifle."

"Okay good." He said.

After an hour, we are ready for war. Conner and I got in the helicopter, and I saw Ace sitting in the pilot seat, chewing something which looked like tobacco, he started the helicopter, and it roared to life, then we took off into the night sky, Ace looked back at us then asked. "So, are you guys ready for war?" Ace had to shout at us over the helicopter's rotor blades. "Yes, we're ready." Conner said as he shouted, well I guess I'm ready, I was afraid that I might die on the battlefield, but I had to take this into my own hands and defend my country, and my people. When we got there, Ace dropped us off, and he fled off. Conner and I settled on a hill in the grass, we crouched down, and I saw a village down the hill, I saw European soldiers drinking wine and beer, "look at them drinking down there, that makes me sick." He said.

"Hey, they'll get drunk and then they wouldn't know what's happening." I added. Conner whispered quietly, "well we'll need to find the leader, where ever he is, but we'll have to wait for our opportunity to get a good shot, remember what our motto is. One shot, one kill. But we'll have to wait for the leader, instead we'll have to help out the other soldiers and 2LT. Liam and Captain John."

I went on my stomach and I got my McMillan TAC-50 ready, and I looked through the sniper scope and saw these three European soldiers, still drinking. Man, their getting drunk easily, I chuckled. I looked down and saw 2LT. Liam singling his men out, three men took off and ran quickly and quietly, then I heard gunshots, I looked over and saw the three European soldiers' bodies fall to the ground, well their they go. I heard the gun shots echoing in the night sky. I looked through the sniper scope and I saw a solider running, I tracked him, then I took my shot.

The bullet traveled through the air like a jet. Then the man fell to the ground, "nice shot Jeff." Connor said in a whisper. After an hour or two, I kept track of how many men I took down. I took down 60 men in one night, I looked at Conner who was just lying there, looking through the binoculars. "Did you find the leader yet?" I asked. "No, not yet, but what I did find is a European solider running. He's drunk, you should take him down. He's right by the church still drinking though, but he could be going for help. So, take him down before he gets away."

I nodded slowly and I looked through the sniper scope, I looked at the guy who was drinking, I focused on the guy's head, then I thought to myself for a minute. He could bring the leader to us, but that will mean more European soldiers, oh whatever, I'll just take him down. I pulled the trigger and the guy fell to the ground, the beer still in his hand, I felt tired and weary, I looked at Conner who was still awake, "hey Conner, what time is it?" I yawned when I asked the question, he looked at his watch then said. "It's 11 o clock pm."

Gosh I'm so tired. "We should head back; I need to rest. "Conner gave me a brief nod, we packed up and carefully and quietly moved, Conner got his radio out and said, "where heading back to base, out." Someone picked up and it was Ace. "This is Ace, I'll pick you up, I'll be in the woods somewhere. Out." Connor and I walked about 5 miles, "gosh where the heck is, he?"
