PART IV - FIRE MISSION - OVER
| The Platoon Sgt discusses troop movements and the 7th Inf. Div.'s recent contact with Mocho's. The MP's, it turns out, have been requested by the 7th Inf. Div. to assist in bunker clearing operations with their canine units. |
| Geromino "sniffs" out the Platoon Sgt. as he shows his handler the location of the suspected Mocho defensive positions. |
| "BRAVO 69er this is TANGO 54...pop pop pop, FIRE MISSION!, Over." Geromino takes an interest to the section RTO as the radio squawks with a desperate call from the 7th Inf. |
| "BRAVO 69er...pop pop pop.. break.......DANGER CLOSE, break.....grid 75489er5, break......direction...pop pop pop...1165 mils,break....Distance..pop pop pop..100 meters, break....MACHO'S ARE CUTTING US TO PIECES WITH MULTIPLE MACHINE GUNS..pop pop pop.., break...DO YOU COPY OVER?...Tango 54 this is Bravo 69er that's a Good Copy, break...1 round of smoke on it's way, break......" |
