Clarence, a few meters to Minh's left, also targets the second vehicle, aiming for the armored driver's side door with his BG-15. An HE grenade may not be able to penetrate the armor but, if he manages to hit it squarely, it may shake up the driver enough to force him into making some kind of mistake. It's not much, but it's all he's got.

As Dawid and Griet left to move forward, Anneka slipped into the gunners seat of the autocannon to familiarise herself with the controls. It seemed fairly simple - push on that to move left, this to go right and so on. A minute or two later and she though she had a handle on it and laid the weapons ground sights on the roadway where she though the enemy vehicles would appear.
"Can you hear us ok Adam?" she called back as she settled in, the radio placed where Walter, Jason and herself could all hear and respond as necessary.
"How about you Jason, is that wound alright for the moment? I can give you something if it's hurting too much..."

"No, I'm all right -- for now," Jason replies.  "My leg hurts a bit, but I'd rather deal with a little pain than get zonked out of my head.  I'm woozy enough as it is."

"Hq this is bike team..... I'm down with an in and out right arm wound......from what i see they were using the new ammo so i'm luckey...... Have stopped to do self aid need the doc or the major....over"


"the boy is ok....we killed a few the others ran...we can hold here for hours..."

In reply to Sam McCoy (msg #296):

After getting Adam to close the distance to around 30m, Dawid and Griet hopped off.

They stopped a few metres in front of the Star when the radio call came through. Digesting the information he replied, "Bike team... I understand, good to hear. We are located 30m your rear, three are coming forward to assist. Enemy Star truck is stopped, our rear elements are engaging the main pursuit element, the ones we engaged before."

He called to Anneka in case she wasn't listening to her own radio, "Major, there is one wounded forward. Perhaps leave your radio with Jason so we can keep in contact with the truck while you attend? Either way we are leaving to assist."

Deciding that too much time was wasting, he left Anneka to sort out her situation and catch up when possible. Making sure the slung MG was braced securely on his hip and would not foul the spare ammo can, he led Griet forward, keeping to the same side of the road as Sam and Mariusz.

OOC: Sorry, I was unclear on the Star's position, so Dawid'll have Adam move the truck up a lot closer now he understands the front is relatively secure.

Trike and Gun-truck

With the gun-truck idling on the road, and Jason covering the group's six, Dawid and Griet move forward to assist the wounded McCoy. The enemy's red smoke continues to drift aimlessly through the trees, although it seems to be dissipating a bit already. The screaming has diminished and grows fainter and more sporadic as the enemy wounded are assisted away from the skirmish site by their unwounded comrades (although they are not currently visible due to the smoke). Their Tarpan-Honker is parked on the east side of the road, hood open, still emitting steam, about 150m away.

T-H dismount team

As the lead armored troop transporter draws even with his position, Konrad pulls the trigger on his underbarrel HK-69 grenade launcher, expecting to hear the thwoop of a launching 40mm HEDP grenade. Instead, he hears a click followed by what seems like eons of silence. Having already thought through this contingency, he smoothly transitions to the G-36, squeezing off a burst at the lead truck's turret. Rounds ping off of the gunner's armored tub but fail to find his vulnerable flesh. Ondar, just a few meters away, squeezes off a carefully aimed round at the same target, but fails to hit as well. Stoner adds the M-240 to the chorus, hammering away at the marked man aboard the lead truck. Two red tracers (from a 5-round burst) spin off of the gunner's cupola at improbable angles, indicating a third reprieve for the enemy gunner.

Minh, on the far right of the ambush line, catches the second truck in the sights of her RPG-16. She pulls the trigger and the rocket blazes towards the vehicle, blossoming in a huge, orange fireball against the vehicle's partially armored, left, rear wheel-well. The big truck rocks briefly from the impact and then lurches to its left, as its rear tires quickly turn to molten shreds. The driver struggles to keep his wounded mount on the road and out of the trees. Rocked by the blast and the subsequent instability of his firing platform, the enemy gunner in the second truck squeezes off a long, futile burst at his assailants, a line of green tracers undulating wildly through the trees above the party's heads. A split-second after Minh fires the RPG, Clarence sends a Soviet-made 40mm grenade over the stricken truck, cursing his lack of marksmanship.

Tarpan-Honker

Hearing the crack of rifle and machine gun fire signalling the start of the ambush, Tucker lets loose with a burst of five 30mm HE grenades towards the lead truck, just visible 150m to his south, near the crossroads. One of the grenades defies all the odds and passes through the driver's vision port, exploding inside the armored cab, while a second detonates against the open edge of the gunners' cupola, close behind.

The lead truck, smoke pouring out of the cab's vision slits and the now unoccupied gun-tub miraculously barrels on towards the parked T-H, maintaining its speed (about 50kmph) and direction (angling slighty off to the west as it continues towards the T-H). The second truck, perhaps unaware of its counterpart's dire straits, follows, the gap between them starting to grow (about 60m).

Actions?

OOC: Both trucks have now passed beyond the northern end of the ambush line and are still approaching the parked T-H. Both trucks are obviously in some kind of distress.

Reaching Sam and Mariusz, Dawid flopped down and began firing bursts to further suppress the enemy ahead.

He looked over at Sam. "I told Anneka you were hurt, I assumed she was following. Maybe you can get back on your own? We don't have much time, so Griet, Mariusz, let's move forward and see if we can keep them running."

Once he saw they were ready to move, he began advancing.

"Let's go, in bounds."

Griet dropped down by Dawid's side, ready to assist with the machinegun if she was needed.

Mariusz heard Dawid's order and looked ahead to find a good position to bound to. He saw a suitable fold in the ground flanked by a bare tree to his right and he ran for it. Once he reached the cover, he set up the RPK ready to cover Dawid and Griet's bound.

Dave unconciosly flinches when Minh's rocket explodes and seconds later his eyes widen in surprise as Tuck's grenade flies through the tiny windshied slit. "Dang, I thought I was good" he mutters to himself.

He shifts his attention and fires at targets of opportunity.

Clarence reaches into one of his canteen covers and pulls out another 40mm grenade, dropping it down the barrel of his BG-15. He hops to hit feet and starts running north, parallel to the road, shouting,

"Let's move people! They ain't stoppin'!"

Tucker smiles as he knows that one or more or his rounds hit home and did some major damage, to the exact extent, not sure in the darkness.  When he sees the vehicles still moving in his direction, the smile quickly dissipates and he clicks on the radio (or yells to Jan), "JAN!  Get ready to move!  We've got incoming vehicles closing fast on our twenty!"

Robert then looks down the sights of the grenade launcher and tries to either slow down or stop the vehicles approach towards their own parked Tarpin Honker.  He fires another string of five rounds towards the lead vehicle hoping he can put an end to their threat.

"Yeahhh." Quyen whispers. She was rather pleased with her hit and its impact on the ambush. All things considered, she was glad she was simply able to hit the vehicle.

Lowering the RPG she pulls out the reload she had tucked into her webbing. She positions it onto the end of the launcher.

Hearing Tucker's warning on the radio, Jason peers down the road over the sights of the MK-19.  He watches for the trucks he had glimpsed earlier, knowing also that the Tarpan-Honker they had captured might very well be in the lead.  He is ready to fire, but not at the very first sign of a vehicle.

Ambush Team

The big armored URAL continues barreling towards Tuck and Jan in the parked Tarpan-Honker. Looking worriedly over his shoulder, Jan puts the jeep into gear and begins rolling away from the rapidly approaching beheamoth. Tucker fires a second burst of 30mm HE grenades at the growing target. Grenades detonate all around the URAL but it looks like his luck was expended in the wonder-shot that struck its cab seconds earlier.

The heavy URAL, however, continues to drift to its right (east). As its right tires slide gradually off of the road bed, the top-heavy truck begins leaning perilously into the trees. This only accelerates its off-road turn- now more of a swerve, really- and the truck leaves the white, crushed rock surface of the road, bulldozing its way into the trees. Several adolescent trees are smashed down and a senior one is uprooted before the truck falls hard on to its right side in a cloud of smoke, dust, and fallen leaves, making a quarter turn so that its still- spinning wheels are only 25m or so from the party's squad carrier.

The second truck, also struggling to stay on the road, follows about 60m behind its stricken counterpart. As it passes beyong the northern end of the ambush line, Ondar takes two more shots at the receding gunner, missing both. Stoner likewise fires another parting burst with no appreciable effect. As the first truck jackknifes just off of the road (on the east side), the second truck pulls to a stop on the road about 50m behind it. The armored, double doors at the back swing open and smartly dressed Polish troops begin dropping to the road bed.

Clarence is on his feet and heading north in pursuit, still 50m from the road on its western side. The others remain in place. The second truck is still visible, now parked on the road about 100m to the north but the first truck is no longer in view.

Gun-truck and Trike Teams

With Anneka and Jason readying the gun-truck's heavy weapons to deal with the appraoching pursuit force, Dawid and Griet bound forward past the wounded (and still untreated) Sam and Mariusz. Rushing through the thinning red smoke, it takes a moment for the pair to reorient themselves and spot the fleeing Polish squaddies. They can just be made out where the trees recede into shadow, moving jerkily (about 200m). They plainly mean to flee at their best possible speed and likely pose no further threat to the party.

The enemy Tarpan-Honker sits abandoned off to Dawid's and Griet's left.

Sam cranes his thick neck to see the wound in his usually burly shoulder. The upper sleave of his jacket is soaked with blood. Pulling the torn fabric away from the wound, he realizes that he will only be able to slap a bandage on the rather large wound. A thumb-sized hunk of meat has been torn out of his shoulder. Although not debilitating, the wound will require some fancy stitch work in order to close the wound.

Having slid the new HEDP round into the chamber and closing it shut, Bayer eyes the dismounting riflemen. Lining up his rifle onto the mass of deploying infantry he fires off a trio of rounds.

In reply to Cap'n Rae (msg #310):

Dawid cranked off another series of tracers from the PKM to keep the soldiers fleeing, then said, "I think that's that."

He transmitted, "all units, back door is open."

"Mariusz, have a look at the Honker. See if there is any salvageable fuel and weapons. Be careful about booby-traps. Griet and I will cover you."

He lay down where he had a good field of fire down the road to the north. He checked to see he could ready the RPG-76 quickly, just in case.

Mariusz moved quickly over to the enemy wreck and looked over it in a cursory fashion, if he saw any loose weapons or jerrycans, he would take them, otherwise he intended to get back to the trike as fast as he could before someone ordered a stop to strip the vehicle down to the last nut and wire and give the pursuit time to call a tank brigade in.

Griet remained ready to aid Dawid should they need to fire the machinegun seriously. She hoped they'd be leaving soon, there sounded to be heavy fighting behind them.

Realizing that no one is following him, Clarence goes to one knee behind a particularly thick-looking tree and takes aim at the dark cavern between the open rear doors of the armored truck. When his sights are aligned, he squeezes off a 40mm HE grenade, praying that his aim for this second shot is better than it was for the first.

Anneka sat in the gunners seat of the ZU, waiting for a target to appear on the roadway where she'd aligned the sights earlier.
Although she'd been monitoring the radio and was well aware McCoy had been wounded through the arm, she believed she was better utilised where she was for the moment and first aid would suffice until he could get back under his own power.

While they waited, she once again ran her mind over their options for vehicle assignements. With McCoy apparently unable to continue operating the motorbike, Jan might need to be moved over after all, but in the meantime, Dawid would probably be the one to take over since he was on the spot.

Although she itched to know exactly what was happening back in the ambush zone, she knew better than to ask - those in contact had more important things to do than keep those in reserve informed about events they probably couldn't effect in a positive way.

"Hey david where the fuck is the doctor? Or do I have to do this my self?"


If ann does not come in the next miniute sam will start doing minor wound care with his doctors med kit. he will steril the wound then stich it up with a suture kit then apply the wound clog gel. a type of glue that is non toxic that binds the wound over the sutures. once done he will apply wound creme and bandage. he will eat two asprin and a antibiotic.once done he will secure his gear and wait for help.
