The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Survivors (12)

Rescued personnel stayed up all night.

“Give me the ammo. I can't sleep without ammo, ammo. Please…… ”

It was a common request for those looking for on-call officers, not for sleep. Two men came to the Winter solstice. I felt sad that my eyes were choking with bloodshot eyes. But it was Captain Langford's policy that this would never be possible. I was worried about the accident.

“The best sniper in the Iraq war died in an accident like that. It's after discharge, though. ”

From the morning of winter to the morning of the great captain.

“You mean Sergeant Chris Kyle. ”

I've heard of this famous event many times in the winter. The killer is ex-Marine Eddie Ray Rush. He was an Iraqi war veteran. Rush had never been on the outside of the wire, on a dangerous battlefield, but was nonetheless diagnosed with severe PTSD.

How many people were rescued last night?

Captain positively combs his head with his fingers.

“It's true we're low on ammo. It might be counterproductive if you give it to me. ”

The notebook that was spread out on the table had dates and numbers written over several lines. This is a major ammunition reserve. Rifles dropped from 4,847 to 4,703 yesterday. Spent 144 rounds last night. It still looks generous by the numbers, but I can't fill two mags in front of one person. In fact, each soldier now had 49 shots.

That leaves approximately 800 rounds in the redistribution process. This was due to the need for extra-critical levels.

‘Equal distribution is not the end of the job. ’

The situation is not straightforward for all soldiers to engage at the same time. For example, when building a defense line, if an enemy is concentrating on a particular direction, you need to get ammunition immediately. If Xanthan is 49, the panicked soldier will shoot him within 10 seconds. Including the time to get to the magazine.

That's why the commander should always be prepared to spare, whether it's troops or ammunition.

“I walked two extra feet to fill the magazine. Everyone looked like they were dying. ”

Captain Langford jokes and makes the winter smile. The identity of the magazine he mentioned was two climbing bags on the control room wall. A bag that is filled with relief from your squadrons at every battle. Isn't it great that an individual has portable ammunition?

“Let's start with yesterday's battle. There are more variants than spent ammunition. With a battle like this, we can fight thirty more times in the future. ”

It's another cynical joke.

He played back the battle history of last night on his computer. Source is a helmet camera of the crew. There was also a share of winter. It was transferred from another soldier for reconnaissance and information.

Old computers that originally kept track of lodging books were a hassle for high-quality video playback. On the small monitor remained the remnants of BurnIn. However, it was not too disruptive to the analysis.

The captain wanted to know the exact breakthrough of winter.

“This kind of battle has never been in the original manuals. We need to know how dense the enemy is before you can penetrate it. That way we can get proper firepower support. ”

Winter agrees. The killing efficiency of a penetrating assault is much higher than when you have to expel it from the outside. It was also good to find and kill the brainy bastards in the back. In the battle of dawn, the act of the crowd is even more disordered by the rapid killing of the ghouls.

It was actually quite dangerous. Winter must always run ahead of the line of fire for the soldiers.

There was a half-hour exchange of opinions. It doesn't change the fact that it is best to avoid engaging. I was able to do that. At least in the plains, it is possible to see it first and avoid it. The maneuver that first discovered the variants could have drawn them in the wrong direction. When the crew's proficiency accumulated, winter was determined to teach them the tricks of lying on horseback and getting up. If you pay attention to the breeze, in places like the reed field, even if the mutant group travels close, you will not be noticed.

However, the problem was that we had to engage the inevitable to rescue them.

“Even with all this chatter, frankly, we can't afford to save another army. ”

Langford takes a deep breath. I don't think hair loss will improve.

“But we can't just ignore them. They won't be able to take the guilt. The troops from different places are still awkward with each other... I'm worried that if my conscience grows, my troops will completely disintegrate. ”

Winter's intellectual.Guilt breeds battle fatigue, too.

‘Maybe we'll break up into squads or platoons. ’

Can we call it desertion? Refusal of unfair orders was a soldier's duty and right. Captain Langford's not even a line manager. Faith in winter will also be difficult to maintain. The American army must not abandon its allies. It was time to recall how disrespected Captain Markett was by the soldiers after Paso Robles.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocks on the door. It was Lieutenant Escamyla who came in.

“Captain, the funeral is ready. ”

I mean, they've squeezed as many coffins as they can and dug up the ground. Her squad sweats in the woodshed early in the morning. Winter worries about the psychological state of the soldiers at work. Lieutenant Escamyla will take care of it. Langford nods.

“... Thank you. Right away. Deliver the rest of you who wish to attend, except for the perimeter forces, armed and to the cathedral by 0800. ”

“I understand.”

Lieutenant Escamyla salutes. Captain Langford mutters. I wish I had a Chaplain's Assistant, even if I didn't want to go to the military.

The lines they recovered from the warriors were engraved with the symbols of their religion. Except for the one who didn't have faith, everyone was a Christian. I can't help the Catholics. Protestant priests said it would be okay for the soldiers to carry out the funeral.

Now is the key to reading a simple prayer statement. An event to comfort soldiers. Langford took a piece of paper he'd been writing and erasing all morning. Next to it were several bookmarks.

Troops have gathered at the abandoned cathedral. Ordering them armed was just in case.

In front of the cathedral is a small bell tower and a small meadow. This is the burial site. Every hole has a coffin.

“The Merciful God. Our Lord, the Resurrection and the Life. Here, those who fought good fights and finished running and kept their faith knocked on the door of the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who die in the Lord. This is the word of God the Father. I trust that the righteous judge will have mercy on those who wear crowns and those who crave you. To the warriors who have fallen on the battlefield to protect our country and humanity, please grant us the place you have prepared. Please also show mercy and comfort to those who suffer from separation and hardship from our comrades……. ”

Tears of noisy tears pour down throughout the deep prayer.

There are those who cannot enjoy this funeral. Sergeant Osborne. It was the will of one of the two men he killed himself.

"Send a body to my mother in New York..." ’

That's why the sergeant's face was bitten with pain.

A wish that is not realistically possible. But you wouldn't have even thought about it in a situation where you had to die before you became a monster.

The bells of the cathedral do not ring while the coffin is covered in soil. The piloted soldiers didn't even fire three Threevolley salutes at the sky. The funeral was for the living.

“I don't think I can leave Aaron here. ”

It was Osborne's word with bloodshot eyes. Aaron is a party to the will. Winter is the sergeant's silence.

“What difference does it make if you stay here? Did Private Aaron want you to die, too? No, you have to go back alive to have a chance. ”

“Damn, what chance are you referring to……. ”

“Here's your chance to come back. ”

It was a conversation that most people heard. The surrounding winter conscious said decisively.

“The blockade does not fall even if the clear liberation mission fails. Nor are the fortified deserts and mountains of Nevada easy to penetrate. It's going to take a long time, but I believe we can take it back to this place one day. Until then, take Aaron directly to New York. ”

“ ……. ”

I didn't say anything lightly. The blockade lines have been fortified very thoroughly, as the system has been operating efficiently for a long time. Tons of bunkers with each other in the distance. As soon as you hit the steel concrete, even Grumble was hard to break.

A spokesman for the DOD who introduced the blockade line said:

What will they do if X is big and X is strong?

American citizens rejoiced at the formal rough expression. Winter reminded me of Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister of the Second World War. One of the leaders I studied before the end of the 27th. The same image of the scoundrel helped to gain the support of the citizens. Of course, I didn't say last words in the speech, but the context is similar.

Winter grabbed Osborne's shoulder.

“At least tell your mother the news. Your son fought bravely. ”

It is usually the role of a line manager. However, Osborne's commander was most likely already dead.

“Cheer up. ”

The sergeant bows his head at the last words of comfort.

The soldiers who were standing nearby were also scattered. Few of them would have taken the apparent failure of the liberation operation to mean the collapse of the blockade. Maybe I've changed my mind a little bit.

‘If it really breaks through...... I won't be long. ’

After the funeral, Winter immediately led the troops out. The first is to assist in the search of the Point Reyes Station and secondly to scout as far as possible.

A pick-up truck connected with the carrier followed behind the maneuver. There were three teams of 15 aboard. They were all withdrawn from the Winter Battalion.

The noisy poem last night was surprisingly quiet.

The first was the county sheriff's office west of the village. The brown bricks and wooden buildings were covered with ivory vines. Most of the armory has been unlocked with a crowbar. By the time the plague began to hit the west coast, the sheriffs were probably on their way as armed as they could be.

I found two shotguns, though. There were 25 rounds of ammunition left in a small box. You picked up some extra handguns on the floor. I felt like I was in a hurry to get it. Luckily, it was the right caliber and ammunition for the squad.

This is a big harvest. Chuckle. Corporal Morales smiles satisfactorily, checking for abandoned firearms.

“It would be good to shoot on horseback. ”

The crew could not guarantee the accuracy of the sniper fire.

The fire department was right next to the sheriff's office. When I wiped the windows of the dusty garage, I saw ambulances and fire trucks parked side by side inside. I can feel the look on the soldiers' faces. Most of these vehicles, like pick-up trucks, use diesel.

The fuel tank is also large. More fuel at once reduces the probability of spoilage than if it were not.

In other words, you will be able to get fuel even if the vehicle is not running.

‘There's a gas station in the center anyway. ’

It was winter when I remembered the scenery I saw running through the darkness. Even if the material is polar, it will not be completely empty. Just like in Paso Robles. In other countries, the United States was the world's leading heritage nation.

“There's a building with solar panels. I'll pull the car over there. ”

I'm trying to save the battery. Corporal Morales, who seeks winter's permission, connects the fire truck's tow truck to the pickup truck. Then the soldiers had to push back.

# Q&A

Q. SVJK: @ Broken Arrow... What a scary tactic. Is this a tactic you've actually used?

A. It's one way of asking for firepower support, rather than tactics. Enemies and allies very close

Although Danger Close is often a situation, the Broken Arrow is quite rare. But it's not gone. Lieutenant Alexander Procorenko of the Russian Special Operations Force, who was recently dispatched to the Syrian Civil War, asked me to speak with him.

Search Alexander Prokhorenko for relevant information. The hero of the Russian Federation was awarded posthumously.
