It was a very fluid situation at the railroad junction. The sudden loud burst of rapid fire from the anti-aircraft quad precipitated the actions of the "Bravo" team. Sgt. Shevchenko was waiting for Private Sheeler to take position but this was no longer an option. Their position was about to be compromised at a short notice.

FIRE! FIRE! The order almost came muffled by the hail of automatic fire erupting from the PKM in two bursts: First one on the eastwards walking militia as he was in his sector and using the same arc of fire, Taras engaged the other militia with a second fusilade. The bipod supported prone postion and the respectable rate of fire of the GPMG was expected to overcome the lesser accuracy of the area weapon.

At that time, Constable Bajorek, a good looking and respected member of the RCMP, had already her target, the driver, on sight and ready to be dispatched. The sudden southwards turn of the militia man put him squared inside the ring sight of the pump action shotgun. Luckily enough for that distance the shell chambered was a slug. This type of munition was quite easily to be foudnd in the Law Enforcement armories and duty kits, not because door breaching was expected but mainly due to the threat of dealing with bears. A not so uncommon incident to be found in the pre war daily tasks of the Mounted Police.

Next to Constable Bajorek and already aware of the target selection, Troy pulled the trigger of the Sterling SMG hoping to hit the other militia man that now appeared to be moving East. A weapon basically recoiless due to the sheer mass of the bolt against the 9 mm Parabellum pistol round was very easy to shoot and Troy, being a comms man and not very acquainted with the firing range, decided to fire on automatic easily thumbing forward the selector in the A position. Troy expected to hit the target inside his flip rear peep sight numbered 1.

BOOOOM!!!
Private Droz was already familiar with the tremendous blast of the Carl Gustav and confidently had pressed the trigger to do a window delivery at the spotter. The three powered optical sight brought the target very close to his retina. Private Droz could easily identify the target handheld radio and his efforts to locate the Alpha team through a pair of binos. Constable Chau didn't waste time and proceeded to prepare yet another HEAT round from his pack to feed the CG for the incoming battle. They were down to only two.

Shit! shit! shit!
Private Sheeler quickly reached the parapet after the energetic crawl but was unable to bring the FN FAL in line against his target. By instinct he would focus on the primary threat coming down South towards their position. His right eardrums were suddenly Pearlharboured by Shevchenko's 7,62x54R rafale...

Turn 24

The LAV started to roll forward, and Mac and Delaney jogged to keep up with it. As the Kodiak hove into view and pulled up behind the guard house, it was met by a hailstorm of fire from the waiting quad KPVs. The thick white smoke from Kel's grenade was starting to obscure the AA gun's line of sight. When the LAV hove into view, it could only get a shot off after it had moved into a hull-down position. Most of the 14.5mm rounds slammed into the guard house, a few went over, but being hull-down worked to protect the vehicle from any damage.

To acquire the target, Tremblay switched to thermal so the smoke wasn't a problem for him. Noting this was an unarmoured vehicle and there were friendlies immediately to his front, he switched to the 7.62mm coaxial MG with a flick of his thumb.

"On the way!"

He pulled the joystick's trigger and the pavement around the flatbed and the trees behind it erupted with bullet hit. The gunner was jerked back in his seat with one burst, while the next 2 bursts put the other two crew down immediately.

Mac and Delaney pulled up beside Kel. Mac looked around the right side of the building, Delaney on the ground around the left side, RPK set up on its bipod.

Further east, the Carl Gustav discharged with a roar, accompanied by small arms fire and the chatter of the PKM. The 84mm HEAT round impacted near (or on) the spotter and he disappeared in a white flash and explosion of smoke. An enormous amount of debris was scattered up into the air: roof shingles, flaming parts of wooden beams, other building materials. Fragments of the spotter.

As flaming debris rained down, Taras pressed the trigger on the PKM and directed a stream of tracers towards the rightward militiaman. He was caught in the burst and went down in the road. Traversing right, he caught the other militiaman with a second burst. He staggered against the driver side door of the truck. Hot brass struck Sheeler as he brought his FN up to aim. Across the road, Bajorek and DeFazio opened fire, peppering the area with lead, but it was unclear if they had any success.

Andy trotted over to the pipeline and tried to find a place where he could cover the woods and protect the flank of the immobilized BTR.

Kelsey takes a few breaths as the LAV fires, then moves out to check on Putsep and the BTR crew, hoping against hope that they might somehow be ok.  If Putsep is as bad as she thinks he might be, she will move right past after a visual inspection to check on the BTR crew, then (as she has mechanical experience) a quick check on the BTR for mechanical.

As she moves past the LAV she will shout "Fire for effect Tremblay!  Engage with prejudice!"

The militia driver turned south to cover his sector but was still near the door, then was hit by Taras automatic fire and stumbled backwards into it. The guy who was going east came down fast wounded or dead. The ambush action was far from finished and the ukrainian delivered another short and controlled burst towards the driver. This was happening just in front of the truck provided with the crane and bobcat that eventually was supposed to rescue the missing warhead:



Constable Bajorek didn't seem to find the fruitless expenditure of the slug too much to bear and recklessly pumped another one into the chamber firing again against the stumbling driver.

Troy tried and failed yet tried again. Another 9 mm Parabellum volley was sent downrange almost at the same time as his RCMP buddy with the long gun next to him was blasting away. The smokey end of the barrel was promptly swept away by the eastern blowing wind but the atmosphere quickly started to impregnate with the sweet smell of cordite.

The Carl Gustav fireteam was left without apparent targets or instructions. The tube was already reloaded and Private Droz decided to keep an eye at the possibility of any vehicle coming across in front of the Bravo team. He was aware of the enemy vehicles at the parking lot. Even reinforcements coming from the East could complicate the situation. He quickly realized that they were holding a very good position but he was in doubt about how long they would be able to maintain it. Meanwhile, his loader Constable Chau, after witnessing the sudden and violent shooting taking place decided to prepare his trusty Heckler and Koch for action after reloading the recoiless gun. The MP5A2 had a fixed stock made of a synthetic polymer with a three position fire selector that Chau set up for a lenghty monologue.


Private Sheeler apart from being late, hit in the head by soviet brass and half deaf by the PKM roar joined gladly and delivered an aimed shot at the stumbling driver. The other militia, he felt, didn't seem to require his services immediately.

Hearing Kel's orders to the LAV, Seth figured there was no reason to waste some of his own ammo on the truck. Instead, he got up and sprinted a few metres to the left to give the 25mm a clear line of fire. There was a fence along the treeline at the left side of the parking lot so he moved towards the weeds there.

He hesitated to fire the 25mm unless he knew it was clear underneath.

In the mean time, Tremblay continued to fire using the coaxial 7.62mm MG. He squeezed the trigger three times, sending three bursts into the front of the vehicle.

Tremblay then yelled down to Rachel.

When Andy moved up to the complex of pipes, Fox covered him by peering through his C7A1's telescopic sights.

Fox figured that the main directions of attack had to be either north or east. To the south was where the vehicles were located and was Taras' maritime element had come ashore. Anyone to the west would have taken out Bezhov when he moved up past them. The east was mostly blocked by the large pipes, so he might as well cover the northern sector as Andy moved to the pipes himself.

A building out of line of sight east from the parking lot exploded in a shower of flaming debris. Kel, Mac moved out from in front of the main gun to the right of the LAV. Delaney got up and ran left, towards the fence and treeline. Meanwhile, Tremblay poured more machinegun fire into the truck. Bullet holes riddled the cab and the engine compartment of the truck. Now that he knew there was no one in front of the LAV he would now switch weapons and engage with 25mm HE.

Reaching Putsep first, Kel noticed he was alive but unconscious. There was a large hole blown out of his lower right leg and he was bleeding out. His foot was almost severed, attached only by a few strings of tendon with the bone showing. Mac reached him at the same time and opened up his medical bag.

Ready to cover Fox's bound, Andy knelt behind the LAV as Fox moved up. He didn't see any further movement from the woods to NE, but his angle was not the best. Fox moved up beside him to his right, turning to the south so he could cover that direction as well as the west.

A little debris was raining down from the store. A few tracers from the LAV's coax zipped by dozens of feet overhead. The truck's driver dropped to the ground and attempted to crawl under the truck. Bajorek fired her shotgun again, and Troy continued hosing the front truck down, trying to hit the driver as he dived to the ground, with uncertain results. Taras fired another burst accompanied by a shot Sheeler's FN, and the driver stopped moving.

Bajorek reloaded the rocket launcher with another HEAT round as Chau got her MP-5 ready.

Over at the store, the roof started to collapse and orange flames began to lick out of the crater where the second floor lefthand window used to be. One of the sheets of plywood covering the 1st floor window had come loose, and a dark-skinned boy climbed out and dropped to the ground, then sprinted towards Bravo, into the line of fire.

"Help! They are going to kill us!"

Kelsey drops next to Putsep and tries to save the man's life by putting pressure on the femoral artery with her hands while Mac preps the Tourniquet.  "I'll try to stop the bleed out while you put on the T!"  She engages both hands deeply into his leg to do so.

Halt fire! Halt!

The command of Staff Sargent Shevchenko was almost unnecessary. The entire team could witness how the militia driver went down under a hail of bullets. The sudden presence of a panicky young boy coming out of the previously panelled up window took them by surprise. Completely unaware of the machine gun bullets flying past coming from the West he was about to certainly put his life "in the line of fire". To the poor boy's luck was the fact that the road was in a down slope from the parking lot entrance and his smaller frame and current speed offered less of a desirable target. Still, he was an obviously dangerous position and at the worst possible moment.

Taras tapped Private Sheeler in the shoulder without saying a word but with the clear intention of make him aware of his move. Then he bolted out of his protected position behind the parapet and started to run towards the tree about 30 meters away to his 2 o'clock. His idea was to get closer to the kid, as much as possible, without compromising his safety (i.e. crossing the road) and be able to give him instructions to protect his life.

The rest of the Bravo Team would see how his Sargent demonstrated initiative. They would be in overwatch mode covering the approaches in order to protect their team leader.

Inside the Kodiak's turret, Tremblay fired bursts of 25mm AP ammunition into the truck. Tremblay's shots struck all around the truck, peppering it with shrapnel. One shell struck and penetrated the fuel tank, and fuel spilled onto the pavement. No one seemed alive on the vehicle.

In between the LAV and the BTR, Kelsey and Mac worked on Putsep, trying to stabilise him. It didn't look good, Mac nodded at Kel and she got ready to move onto the BTR and the crew inside. Kel could hear someone moaning inside.

Down by the store, DeFazio pulled the empty magazine out from the Sterling, replacing it in his ammo pouch. He then pulled out a fresh magazine, inserted it into the side ammunition well, then pulled back the charging handle on the side to complete the loading process. Bajorek started to reload as well, Droz covering the road with the Carl Gustav and Chau with her MP-5. Chau, however, covered the rear. No telling when someone would pop out of some random direction!

The debris stopped falling around them. Flames started licking out of the hole in the elderly wooden roof. Taras could hear screams and cries for help from the store, but no gunshots as of yet. Springing up while Sheeler covered him, Taras ran towards the treeline 30m to his NE, making about 15m. The boy saw him and changed course, running towards Taras.

Back at the refinery, Andy saw a bush move about 120-130m to his 1 o'clock in the treeline, but couldn't see anyone clearly enough to take a shot. Fox saw someone was there as well. They were at the northern end under the "overpass" where the pipes were raised up to allow vehicles to pass under. Andy kneeling, facing north using the structure as cover. Fox was beside him, to his left.

"Master McRae, I got movement at 130 metres, to our north-northeast. Probable foot-mobile."

Taras started to run towards the tree and he was glad that the young boy was also doing the same.

Come here! You'll be safe!

The rest of Bravo team still in a nervous situation watching for enemy action while the store was catching up fire relatively quickly and the drama with the kid was unfolding before their eyes. Soon they started to realize that an order to move could be just around the corner.

The others with him heard the screams as well, looking from the store to Taras and back.

"Lima-16 to all stations," Andy said over the, "be aware of foot movement to the north and north east. No clear shot."

he readied his rifle to cover the area and said to Fox, "Light them up with 40 mike-mike if you think it helps."
