Chapter 1-Finally, a Victory
"Charge!" and forward the coveneant infantry went.
They were halted almost as soon as they came out of there defensive postions by marine .50 cals and rifle fire.
Grunts, Jackals, and Elites alike were dropping faster then the spent shell caseings could hit the dirt.
BR55's and .50s weren't the only things stoping the covies. Grenades were blowing up everywhere. There we blow off body parts everywhere that were covered in purple and light blue blood alike.
The marines had finally won a battle. After contless defeats, the 34th marine division had finally beaten the conveneant on in the field. An coveneant field army was in full retreat. The marines couldn't undertstand why, because all they had lost so far were 3 battalions worth of infantry. They didn't care to know why, though, they had won. Only 35 marines lay dead, with 84 more wounded. Less then a 1 casulty rate.
There day was yet to be over, however. When they learned the the covie army had fled only so it could rienforce another army that was current fighting the 82nd Marine Armored Corps, and losing.
So now they were off, to fight once again, and possibly never come back...
