Cap'n Rae:
Ondar, looking out through the window while the rest of you make ready to leave the apartment, reports,
"Eight men come here. Four men stay on street. BTR is still right below. Most of the civilians are gone. "
Konrad Bayer:
Hearing the ruckus and the obvious entry of the enemy search team, Bayer's decision is made for him. Toggling the radio he says, "All call signs. Stand by. Jan clear down to the ground floor and secure a foothold near the front. Dawid, your team is to eliminate the enemy outside only once Jan's team has initiated contact. Get Thor or whoever to try to take the BTR crew without vital damage. Once Jan is holding firm on the ground floor I will radio for your withdraw. Be quick when I make the call. Out."
Bayer then inserts one of Wicks' 40mm CS round into the breech of his launcher and move a little closer behind Jan's team. When he makes eye contact, he'll give a thumbs up and whisper, "Ambush... then fight through... all the way down. Speed and violence."
Jan nodded in reply.
"Yes Capitaine. It won't be quiet or subtle. We don't have enough silenced weapons or firepower to take out eight men so it will have to be grenades and in a group. Get everyone keyed to go when we start firing."
Jan then moved forward to quietly brief Tuck, Quyen and Mariusz, a nasty, aggressive look settling on his face. They were about to kill people and that took a certain kind of mindset.
Mariusz Tokarski:
Mariusz paused to kiss his crucifix and then moved to stand next to Jan, before getting ready to go he said, "If we wait until they go into the flats to see if anyone's in there we might be able to sneak upstairs. Are there still civilians on the streets?"
"Konrad says we attack," Jan replied simply in a whisper.
Robert 'Tuck' Tucker:
Tucker takes the HEDP round from his M-203 ans puts it back into his MOLLE webbing and pulls out one of his two 40mm flechette rounds and inserts it into the breach of the launcher and closes smoothly. He smiles at Minh and says to her, The flechette rounds should come in handy if they bunch up on us. They can't keep us apart Minh, no matter how hard they may try. Just cover my ass and I'll clear us a way through.
Boss, I'd rather hit with some suppressed CQB and then lay it on heavy before they can get their bearings. If we let 'em come to us a little more, I think we can get the jump on them and cause enough confusion to get the ball rolling in our favor. Seems like their half-assin' it and that could work in our favor!"
"I agree. Let's let them get closer on the stairs and we'll take them while they're still in a group. Frag grenades and then go loud with rifles." He looked at Mariusz and grinned evilly, remembering their earlier conversation about firing single shorts or fully automatic.
"Mariusz, you suppress them with full auto while the rest of us pick our targets. Once we've started hitting them we start moving down the stairs, trying to drive them back and roll them up. If we can't kill them straight away let's force them back onto the street where the snipers can get them. Tuck, if we get stuck we blow the shit out of them with grenade launchers, though that will probably smash the stairs as well."
He then glanced around the other three before continuing in a whisper.
"Anyone got any other suggestions? Or shall we just kick this off!"
As he finished speaking, checking that the others understood the plan and listening to any alternative suggestions, Jan pulled a frag grenade from his webbing and prepared to lob it down one level on the stairwell once the enemy patrol had approached to the turn in the stairs below them.
Jan
Organising the ambush on the stairs - they will wait until the patrol are as close as possible on the stairwell before throwing grenades and opening up. Jan personally will throw a single frag grenade and then fire pairs of single shots at any visible targets.
