Shotel Squad

Shotel Squad is a special squad of the Novovladian Military, tasked with the primary goal of flanking the frontlines of the Novo-Zeleno conflict. This squad was created under the orders of Major General Zakari Kozlov. Shotel Squad is led by Staff Sergeant Emile Celik and contains: demolition specialist Corporal Pyotr Smirnov, trenchman Corporal Fedor Baryshev, scout Specialist Sonya Kotov, combat engineer Private Yuri Morozov, corpsman Private Dmitri Molchalin, radio operator Private Pavel Galkin, and heavy gunner Private Aleksei Garin.

## Corporal Fedor Baryshev

**Corporal Fedor Baryshev** was in charge of making trenches and tunnels on the frontlines. When assigned to Shotel Squad by MG. Zakari Kozlov, he was tasked with finding a way for Shotel Squad to get off the frontlines and to flank around the enemy. CPL. Baryshev dug a tunnel along the northern part of the western border of Novovlad. The squad were met with light fire from the opposing side. While the tunnel was being dug, the rest of the group engaged in trench warfare. The robots in the northern part of the border were slower and weaker due to the cold, allowing Shotel Squad to hold them back and even destroy some. Once the tunnel had been dug, Pyotr returned to the group and signalled that they could enter, and where they could rendezvous once on the other side. Pyotr was the last to enter the tunnel, but he did not make it out the other side. The tunnel caved in and suffocated Pyotr to death.

## Private Pavel Galkin

**Private Pavel Galkin** was a radio operator who was part of the 56th Conscript Regiment. He was assigned to Shotel Squad by MG. Zakari Kozlov and was in charge of relaying information back to the frontlines about the mission and any concerns the frontline should have. PVT. Galkin was the second to last to enter the tunnel dug by CPL. Baryshev, the tunnel had already begun to cave in. However, Pavel was a short soldier and was able to squeeze through the tunnel with relative ease, unlike Fedor behind him. TO BE CONTINUED...
