Played two turns since I last posted.
1st Lt. Walker of MCPD MRA was more than a little uptight. It began when the artillery barrage dumped on them blew one of the tracks off their ride. S. Kingsley of MCPD TA was not happy either. He and his gunner were trying to ascertain the damage. All the while Walker could hear the sounds of battle around him: the Abrams of CTAK firing in support of the troops on the other side of the PIT, the radio buzzed with constant commands from Major Fox, whose tank was parked a mere 200m NE of them, and the swearing of the men as they tried to come to terms with their damaged ride. Just then Kingsley shouted back, “I’ve got a S. Perez of one of Divisional MECH ENG platoons here. Says that he’d be happy to give you a ride. He’s been playing ferry this whole time and would love to take combat troops.” Walked didn’t need to think twice. “Alright squad, let’s move!” They bailed out under fire from Afghan units to the NW. His men kept to cover and moved fast, making poor targets for the enemy. He heard small arms fire and saw a couple of misses with what could have been medium caliber AGLs, but didn’t stop to see. His men dove into the back of the M1126 Styker even as they heard rounds bouncing off of the armor. There wasn’t as much room in here as in their M113A3 Slat, but as Perez gunned the engine and they moved out, Walker could tell this think could move. He used the radio in the Stryker to tell the rest of his platoon to follow Perez into the PIT. As they left they could hear Kingsley’s gunner open up on the units that were firing on them. The enemy was so well dug in, Walker doubted it would do anything, but hey, Kingsley’s man might get lucky. As they descended into the PIT with the rest of the Platoon close behind them, Walker thought about what awaited them when they would stop.
1st Lt. Perez of BHAH A looked over the smoke covered battleground. They had made significant progress in the last few minutes. The divisional MECH troops had moved through the softened Afghan troops with little difficulty. While new troops would pop out of the smoke, they were dealt with in good order from CTAL and CTAK units, as well as Perez and Damato in their Blackhawk attack choppers. Even McGraw and Turner in the Apaches were able to make good use of their 30mms. The only danger at this point was enemy artillery. Those ground troops better keep moving or they were going to get hit. Perez heard his co-pilot inform him that units of MC were moving up to begin the final push. He rechecked his ammo loads and prepared to support anybody that needed it.
