Thread: Beginning Of The End (Xavierroll & IronMaiden24)

I counted 7 of them, at least outside, dressed in varius civilian clothes, carying a variety of wepons, AK47s or copies of them, shotguns, and cheap machine-pistols. Either irregulars from acros the border, or simple raiders gone crazy and violent. But the former vas far more likely, since the hardvare they had was not inconsiderable. One of them, standing on a balcony of one of the houses, even had something that looked like a RPG-7. Am I glad we didnt just drive-in... that thing wuld have turned us to scrap in a second! I thoght vith a grimace. As I vatched, 2 more come-out of one of the houses, draging a pair of villagers, then gone back in. So it vas obvius there vere at least a few more inside the houses. In the center square, executions vere going-on, slovly, one at a time, vith a lot of screams and pleading from the villagers. We had no time to vaste... I scowled, hard, as I curled my hand back in a signal to the rest to join me, stil gazing thru the binoculars. This wuld be a nasty under-taking vith the equipment we had. We had no scoped or supressed wepons, either of vhich wuld help us keep the element of suprise for longer as we atacked. Ve'l need to sneak-up on them as much as posible before atacking. And vhen we do, we need to do it HARD and fast, before they get a chance to get ther act together! I decided, looking at the terain in-between us and the village. Rocks, trees, and bushes vere thru-out, so cover and concealment vas not to be a problem. And the semi-darkness wuld also help us.

I saw her signal to move up and scanned left and right once more before moving quickly and quietly up to her. I high crawled the final few yards being careful to get lower as I neared her position on the ridge. I remained to her right, just close enough to exchange a few low words and kept scanning ahead waiting for the others. They were slow but doing their best, I scanned the scene and it didn't matter what part of the world we were in, this was wrong. It looked like a raid to me but I wasn't really up on the local politics. I just knew there were a lot of racial and ethnic hatreds in what was once Yugoslavia, but the Croats were generally considered as having it pretty together. I couldn't see as well as Natalija but it didn't take a military genius or good binoculars to see that in addition to the executions, they were loading a truck with supplies and...I squinted a bit but it looked like several people, women or girls from their size, being bound behind the truck. They seemed to be separating the men from the women with the men being shot and the women...well one can only imagine what their fate would be. It was a pretty big job for just the four of us but there was no cavalry going to ride to the rescue. Other than surprise, we really had no real advantage, perhaps training and discipline. The hell of it was, they all looked pretty healthy unlike half of our little band. The odds were very much against us and while this wasn't my mission, my basic humanity said we would have to try and stop this if we could. There was no real way of knowing just how many there were, but unless they had other vehicles I think it was safe to say less than a dozen. Still pretty bad odds but it wasn't like they were dug in and ready for us. I wondered if there was any potential for assistance within the village. Perhaps if we pinned them down here they would have to come to us, we had good cover and the advantage of height. Besides, they wanted the truck and the supplies. Of course there wasn't a real good plan for this type of conflict. I pointed to the area I would head next and waited for Natalija's nod of approval.

7 outside, I noticed 2 more inside, posibly a couple more... I spoked softly as he come-up to my right, just as I culd see one of them colapse, sudenly, in the same vay as my sargent did before. ...actuly, make that 6 outside. I corected, alowing myself a tight smile. This vas the first time this plague actualy vorked in my favor. Wel-armed, and they have one vith an RPG on the balcony. That 1 has to go down first... I continued, before trailing off. Then my 2 team-mates also arived, and I laid-out the situation, and the plan I had in mind to them, to sneak-up on the village and hit those hostiles hard and fast in hopes of maximizing the element of suprise. Being the ranking member of the team, there vas no dissent, even if I had to admit the plan vas audacius. And I vasnt sure how well my comrades culd cary it out, being in their weakened state by the ilness. But... ve had to act fast, since every minute vasted would be another minute the executions wuld continue. As for the female captives... for the moment, I refused to even dvell on that, for the very real fear of sending me into rage and clouding my judgment, since I had a very good idea vhat will hapen to them once taken acros the border then probably shiped-of further south to Albania and one of the sex-traficking cartels there, vhich is vhat seemed to be the plan of those raiders, vhom I vas now sure were from across the border, probably vorking for one of the cartels. Just as the 3 of us vere about to start our stelthy advance tovard the village, I remembered our guest. Vhats your take on my plan? I asked him.
Thread: Beginning Of The End (Xavierroll & IronMaiden24)

I couldn't make out the RPG without binoculars but once she pointed out the balcony I made note of it. I think you have a good basic plan, I don't think we can get too fancy. My only suggestion is that I go back down a bit then run about 100 meters to our right. I can work my way down to that cluster of rocks unseen and have good cover. I can start some covering fire to get their heads down while you and your men advance from this position. I didn't feel I needed to explain that her guys wouldn't be able to move fast enough in their condition. I will be able to keep track of you and adjust my fire. I think I can get the RPG from there, it will be my first shots. I will still be above the roof line too, just in case they have some up there, that could make trouble as you approach. I wasn't wild about being so far off on my own but the position was good and I had the mobility that they lacked. The worst part was the guy in the balcony. I was less worried about his RPG than I was his view. If he spotted us our surprise would be finished before it got started. The path from the ridge to the rock formation had low scrub so I had a better than even shot at getting there unseen. When you guys get to the truck, I will start down to join you. What do you think...Corporal? Damn her eyes were so deep and dark and I really didn't need to be thinking about that right now. I was not accustomed to going into combat with a woman and I was beginning to appreciate the complexities of it all. I couldn't just treat her as one of the guys, no matter how much I might want to. I felt like I could look in those eyes the rest of my life, and I hated to think I might not be far off. I was content to wait for her approval or rejection of my role in her plan. I hoped it would maximize my value and be a little extra insurance.

Sounds good - vhat rank in US army are you aniway? I replyed vith a nod, then continued Just be sure not to start firing to soon, since it wuld also blow-up our suprise. Vait until ve get about half-vay down to the outskirts... observing the stretch of terain betwen here and the village ...theres enogh clutter for us to get that far vithout much risk of being spotted. Beyond that - yes, that guy's view culd be a problem, so take him out vhen you see us get about half-down. I finished. Then we atack the rest, as their atention is fixed on your spot... I leave my 2 comrades to supress them from this direction vhile I try and move even further to the oposing side of the vilage and ve eventualy catch them in a 3-way pincer... I aded to my-self. I didnt miss his increasingly evaluative stares at me... vhich I recognyzed as more then just being attracted to me. He was un-easy at the idea of fighting alongside a woman, I culd tell that much. Vhile that notion... annoyed me, to put it mildly, I also remembered - at least vhat I read once - that in his army women are never deployed on combat missions. That was not the case in Croatian army. Wel then, cowboy... I guess I'l just have to impres upon you first-hand, how wel I function under fire! I smirked slightly to myself. Then I curled my hand invard, at my 2 comrades, for us to start our advance. We moved in a half-crouch, spread about 5 meters from one-another, switching betwen bushes, trees and rocks. Every here and there I stoped for a second or two, checking the vilage with binoculars... and alowing my impaired comrades to catch-up.

I am a Corporal also...in the US Marines. Everything might have been falling apart but I still took great pride in being a Marine. I wasn't sure Croatia even had marines but I liked to think of the USMC as world famous or infamous depending upon your history I suppose. I won't let you down. That was a promise and while there were always unknown challenges, I would do my very best to make her plan a success. I was grateful she was open minded, things were going to get less and less by the book in a hurry. I slide down the back slope and once I was low enough to stand without being sited from the village I took off at a caution run. The ridge line followed my path and when I thought I made it about a 100 meters I cautiously went back to the ridge line. There was excellent concealment and I easily worked my way down to the rock cluster. It was perfect, and had several shooting positions which I could rotate through to keep them guessing. I took position at the highest one. I still didn't see anyone on the rooftops but I knew that could change in a hurry once the shooting started. I sighted in on the balcony, hoping for a decent shot. He was in shadow which would make it difficult. I looked at the team's approach and could make out there progress here and there. They kept to pretty good cover but I was looking for them which helped. I worked my way back and forth, scanning my new comrades then the enemy position. They were getting close, I wanted to give them another minute or two but then the balcony guy leaned forward. He was starring in their direction, he saw something. I decided it had to be now. He made a much better target leaning forward and he was suspicious, I had to drop him before he reacted and raised the alarm to their advance. I took careful aim, the air was still which helped, and squeezed the trigger. It was a clean hit, maybe not a kill shot but I definitely ruined his day. I then switched to burst and worked to keep their attention on me and their heads down. We would find out real soon what their training and commitment level was. If they knew what they were doing they would begin rushing my position in an organized manner. If they were just bandits, I could keep at this all day. I changed to another position and started firing again, working from target to target quickly. I was more concerned with keeping them occupied than accuracy, though I felled at least one. Each time I changed position I checked on their advance, not wanting to risk any friendly fire. I could see my strong angel about to strike and shifted my fire to the right, I hoped her comrades were still well enough to support her.
Thread: Beginning Of The End (Xavierroll & IronMaiden24)

They returned fire but it was not particularly effective. Moving from position to position I was able to keep the majority of them engaged as the Croats moved in closer. I was trying to keep a running tab of how many were engaging us, fortunately that was getting easier as more and more of them fell to our combined attack. These were not organized and disciplined troops, more of a gang it seemed. With their numbers dwindling and no organized attempt to engage us from the rooftops, I decided to move in closer myself. Shifting my fire away from my allies as they moved forward. I didn't have a great angle for some of their attack but supported them from my side. I saw my angel engage several more. She was like an angel of death as she worked her way through the bandits. There was still fire coming from the far home, they seemed to be shifting their focus from me to the Croats, I took cover and gave them something more to think about so they couldn't focus on Natalija. As she entered the first house, I knew I wasn't in sync enough with her to follow. We would be more a danger to each other than our enemies. Instead, as her comrade engaged the same target that I was, I used the opportunity to move forward. They seemed to know their stuff, keeping their heads down so we could each in turn advance. It was a bit awkward but working. I got close enough to lob a grenade in the window then dive behind a vehicle for cover. Resuming my offensive I kicked in the door and cleared the room. The shooter had been alone. I worked my way through the small home but found no one. In the rear was a small courtyard that but it appeared empty. I wanted to regroup with Natalija, but knew if her adrenaline were flowing like mine, we would have to be careful not to shoot each by accident. I didn't hear any more shooting, but could not be sure the village was clear. Natalija I called into the courtyard, just wanting to make verbal contact but not expose either of our positions.

Just as I vas exiting the house, I culd hear the Marine's shout, coming vagely from the other side of the vilage. I vas glad he sounded-off, confirming he vas stil alive and close. Over here! I shouted-back in English, as I cautiusly taken a look outside. No-one vas imediately visible, except my surviving team-mate at the end of a street on 1 knee beside another house, half-vay to the vilage-center. Catching my eye, he given me a all-clear signal. Even from this distance I culd see his shaking hand, and deathly-pale face. But he vas hanging-on, a perserverance that impresed me... deeply. Unfortunatly our respite vas short-lived... as a burst of shots sudenly ziped into the side of the door-vay I vas standing in, one narowly missing me. As I roled-back inside out of reflex, I caugt a glimpse of 2 more bandits, vho just took pozitions on the bell-tower of the village church in the center-square. Being kuite far avay and not having sharpshooting rifles, that acounted for their inacuracy at hiting me... but it stil came close. And from that pozition, they had the vhole vilage in their sights. My team-mate returned fire tovard the tower, but didnt hit anyone at that range, his shaking hands destroying his aim. A return shot from the tower hit right beside him on the pavement. As he tried to scramble behind the corner, 2 more shots perforated his chest. I culd hear his death-scream inside the house. The second bandit in the tower taken-aim at the smal house the Marine vas in, and another burst of shots came thru the vindow he just shouted out. Fuck... and here I thoght things vere actualy too easy. I shok my head, for the moment not knowing vhat to do. Unless my house had a back-exit, I vas pined in here, since that bandit in the tower no-dobt had the entrance covered. Same vas likely true for my American conterpart. And vorse yet... I culd hear the distant sound of a truck-engine starting up. They vere probably covering for the rest of them to evacuate the captives.
Thread: Beginning Of The End (Xavierroll & IronMaiden24)

I was heading out the front to regroup when the firing started again. I ducked back into my doorway before they could adjust their fire effectively. Fortunately my house had a back door so I could exit. Natalija I called out without presenting myself as a target. Fortunately I had a good voice for shouting order, of course I wasn't the one giving orders so I guess it was more of a suggestion. I'm going out the back. I will engage the bell tower if you can stop that truck. Give me a few seconds and wait until you hear my fire. I waited for her to acknowledge my 'suggestion'. This whole thing was getting horribly reckless but there was really no choice left. Either we let them take their captives or we fight the the last of us. I was really getting into the 'what the hell do I have to lose' mentality. It was dangerous, but it made us dangerously effective. I sprinted out the back, zigging here and zagging there but making a mad dash for a gap that would get me close enough to that tower to engage them effectively. The bell tower would be a trick shot for my grenade launcher but it might be my best choice. I would only get one shot, if I didn't get them first try I would have to engage them with rifle fire at a distinct disadvantage of elevation. Unfortunately, I might use up all my ammo with these guys just trying to cover my strong angel. I took a gap that looked about right, close but still giving me good cover. I peered around the corner, took careful aim and let loose. It felt good, it felt good when I fired but the wind caught it and it went wide. I started with rifle fire, shooting and ducking back in but not giving them enough time to try for another target. If there were any more bandits, I would be a sitting duck here, focused on the belltower there were just too many other approaches where I could be cut down. I wouldn't yield though until I knew Natalija was safe and completed her mission. I had to start conserving my ammo though, I could resupply with the Croat stores but not in the middle of a firefight.

I didnt vaste time. Nor did I reply. I didnt knov how wel, or if at all, our enemies spoke English, but if even 1 of them did and over-heard, me acknovledging wuld just give them a vay to anticipate my actions. Or vorse, if they vere in radio-contact vith those in the truck, even inform them in-advance. So I stayed silent. I just acted. As soon as I heard the distinctivly diferent sound of my counterpart's wepon in contrast to their AK derivatives, I rushed-out of the house, then imediatly circled around it to its back to be out of sight of the tower. No shots came at me. He vas doing a good job of keeping them ocupied. I started sprinting betwen the houses and fences, tovards the sound of the truck engine, ocasionaly alternating my speed and direction to throw-of any aim. Just then, hopping-over another fence, I culd see another enemy, behind a low-vall, taking careful aim vith a SMG at something off to the side, in the direction of my counterpart's fire. Obviusly he culd see the Marine and had the drop on him. Not hesitating, I squezed-of a short burst at him, taking him dovn - but he did get-of a pair of shots just before I did it. Hoping his fire missed the Marine, I kept going. Those in the tower heard my fire, of corse, and 1 of them shifted to track me again. I barely got another house in-betwen me and the tower as a sputter of shots chiped its wall vhere I just been a second earlyer. Straight ahead past the court-yard, I culd just see the truck accelerating slovly dovn the road out of the vilage. It vas already kuite far away, and geting further every second. At the moment, there vas stil a chance I culd hit it. Dropping prone, replacing the almost-depleted clip, and suporting my rifle on a rock, I sviched to semi-fire ant took careful aim at the truck, aiming low at the tires, then opened steady fire. A few shots mised, but then I culd see the truck vobbling on the road, as its left-aft tires burst. A second later, I scored a hit on the right set too. The vehicle stoped, and a pair of poorly-aimed shots come out of the front cabin in my general direction. I shifted aim tovard the cabin and kept-up my stream of single-shots, keeping the driver pined there, as vel as anyone else vith him. But then out of the back of the truck, the captives started jumping-out and runing-back tovard the village, screaming, obviusly terified. Most looked sick vith the plague, in varius degrees, but a few seemed just fine. This aded to my conclusion that not all people vere afected by the plague, not just me and the Marine. Many of these bandit iregulars also seemed wel enogh. No!!! GET-OF THE ROAD AND HIDE!!! I yeled in ther direction at the top of my lungs. But their panic didnt let them listen... Out on the street, they made a very tempting target for those in the tower... and I had to keep my fire on the truck's cabin to prevent the driver and anyone else there, from firing on them from behind. Even as I vatched, I seen one of the captives drop, a young voman, at the same time as I heard another burst from the tower.
Thread: Beginning Of The End (Xavierroll & IronMaiden24)

It was a stalemate, and one we were bound to lose eventually. I heard Natalija engage the enemy just as two shots hit the wall near me. I turned just in time to see my attacker fall to her well timed shots. In the time it took for me to react though at least one shooter in the tower had shifted fire. I stepped back out to engage them again, keeping their heads down or focusing their fire on me. As I heard the steady fire from her VHS I simply had to assume she had the good sense to find a firing position that offered her some cover from the tower. I moved quickly to another firing position, reloading my launcher as I went. I got a slightly better angle and closed the range somewhat. I took a few deep breaths then stepped into position, aimed and fired. This one went true, I even heard it clang off the bell. Just as I was moving back to cover I felt a sharp sting to my left shoulder. The grenade exploded, ending one threat, so I moved in the direction of Natalija's fire. I didn't know they had shot one of the captives, they were first rate bastards and I hoped they burned in hell. I could see her in a stalemate of her own. I maneuvered into position to engage the truck cab from a different angle. Finding a good spot where I could take out the last of the bandits, at least the ones engaging us, with a few easy shots. The silence was almost deafening. It had been a short battle but seemed to take forever. I cautiously approached the truck cab to make sure the driver was dead and there was no more threat from this location. The captives seemed as frightened of me as they were their captors, I couldn't blame them, they had been through hell. I would leave them to Natalija. I didn't notice the left sleeve of my BDU was red with blood, my blood. The adrenaline from the fight must have been overriding my pain receptors. I was still cautious, looking for threats but none seemed to materialize so I slowly worked my way towards my strong angel. My sense of a plan not going much past the battle. The strangest thing was though that there must have been close to a dozen captives here, and none of them looked sick. Come to think of it, none of the bandits appeared unsteady as they fought. I had gotten so used to everyone being sick, it was hard to notice a group of healthy combatants.
