Japan 1944

The U.S. Army had captured a lot of Japanese controlled islands during the war in the Pacific. Now Operation Stalemate had begun to brew. The plan was to capture Peleliu Island and cripple the Japanese supplies.

On a boat heading for Peleliu, we see Pvt. C. Miller, Sgt. Sullivan and Cpl. Roebuck. These men are the old breed who toke Makin island. Among them is a new ally named Pvt. Polonsky. Polonsky was assigned to Sullivan's squad.

As the boat heads for the island, Roebuck looks into the sky and sees bombers heading for the island. "There they go." Roebuck said.

"This should be fun guys!" Miller said.

"Bastards ain't gonna know what hit 'em." Roebuck commented

Miller turned to Sullivan "What's the game plan today?"

"Navy's been bombin' hell out of the island for 2 days straight." Sullivan explained then turned to Miller as he continued "Miller! We hit any resistance on the beach, you get on that radio and call for immediate missile support!" Sullivan finished as a part of the island was hit.

Roebuck said to Miller "Don't think twice." then Miller replied "No prob."

"Roebuck, I want you up the beach and at that treeline ASAP. You're on point as we move inland." Sullivan told his corporal. Roebuck acknowledged "Got it."

Just then a boat carrying some marines is hit by artillery. The boat catches fire. "What the hell?!" a marine says. "Oh my god!" Miller said. "Is that one of ours?!" Polonsky asked. Then the boat blows up sending marines flying into the water.

"FUCK! East ridge! There's a 200mm on the point!" Roebuck points out. Sullivan ordered "Stay with it, Marine!"

Just then another LVT is shot. "Another LVT is hit!" Polonsky shouted.

"Everyone! Keep... your.... heads... down! You hear me!?" Sullivan shouted.

The driver of the LVT yells "20 seconds to shore!"

The boat swerves but then begins to continue straight for the Peleliu island. "Hang in there kid." Sullivan said. As another round hits in front of the LVT, Polonsky shouts "We need to get off this thing!"

Just then the boat gets jammed on the coral. "Driver, drop the ramp! That gun could zero us anytime!" Sullivan ordered but the driver told him "It's the coral! We're stuck on the-" before the driver could finish, something kills him.

"Somebody drop the ramp now!" Sullivan ordered but then seconds later, the LVT is hit and everyone in it is sent flying out. In the water, Miller struggles to swim trying not to drown, but then someone pulls him out. It's Sullivan. "I got you Miller! You're still in one piece!" Miller told "Thanks for the save."

"Plan's gone to shit! Tojo's got a defensive line dug in just behind the treeline!" Sullvain said.

"Yes. And..." Miller started.

"We got heavy MG fire tearing up the beach." Sullivan finished.

The team even Roebuck sees defenses with Machine gun nests. "Call in rocket strikes on those positions. NOW!"

"Okay!" Miller acknowledged.

Miller throws a flare at the positions then takes out a radio and a radio operator on another end said "Barrage-salvo H-E, Waco eight-one, Azimuth 35, Range 28... on the way!" then another is heard ordered the fire. A few seconds later, the Japanese positions are hit very badly by missiles. "YAHOOOOOO!" Miller shouted in victory.

"Good work marines... Regroup on the treeline." Roebuck congratulated then ordered.

Another artillery shell almost hits Miller but Roebuck orders "Move!" Polonsky sees a truck explode and asks "Where's the fire coming from?!"

As the team advances up to the island Sullivan shouts "Don't let 'em get a fix on you!"

A marine advancing says "What the hell went wrong?! There wasn't supposed to be any resistance!"

As the smoke clears form what's left of the defenses, Sullivan said "That rocket strike should've softened them up!"

After reaching a fence Miller said "Rockets are foolproof."

Sullivan orders "Up and over guys!"

Upon seeing dying Japanese and wimply walking ones, Miller says "This will be end of this lot."

Sullivan orders "Put 'em down." then the marines comply.

The team sees another MG nest set up in front of them. The team ducks for cover. "Flame thrower move up!" Sullivan ordered. Then some flame thrower marines charge up to the bunker and begin to unleash flames upon the helpless Japanese troopers inside. "That'll warm 'em up!" Miller said.

The team heads for the west when they hear Japanese shouting for banzais. "Look out! Banzai charge!" Sullivan shouted. The team defend themselves from some. A banzai pins Miller down and before the Jap could plunge the knife on the arisaka into Miller's heart, Miller knocks the gun away and then stabs the bad guy in the eye, killing him. Miller takes his Arisaka to use himself.

The team continues on through the trenches, killing some Japanese. The team reaches a field and some banzais charge out. Miller shoots one with the Arisaka he stole. Roebuck and Polonsky take care of the rest. The group reaches a building with a machine gun nest on the second floor. After clearing the outside, Sullivan ordered "Get inside and clear 'em out!" Upon reaching the second floor and killing a Jap, Miller sees the mortar pit. "Like your MG guns? Their mine now!" Miller taunted then began shooting at the japs in the mortar pits.

After the mortar pits are done, enemy tanks appear. Roebuck shouted "Call in those rockets Miller!"Miller marks a tank and then rockets hit the said tank. The driver is doomed. Miller did the same with the other one respectively.

"Outstanding work! Out-fucking-standing!" Sullivan admired.

The team heads to a darker room. Miller asks "What do we do now?"

"Secure the surrounding area. What for the Major's orders." Sullivan explained.

"When do we rest?" Polonsky asked.

"Soon Polonsky. Soon." Sullivan said. Then a double door on the end opens revealing light and a Japanese banzai charger outside. The charger stabs Sullivan in the liver. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Miller yelled in horror. Roebuck kills the charger. With that done, Roebuck rushed for his sergeant "Sullivan no! Hold on! You're gonna be OK! CORPSMAN!!!"

As Sullivan breathes his dying breathes Sullivan tells Miller "I'm sorry I got you into this. I guess you are the right soldier I picked for this."

Miller began to develop tears in his eyes.

"Roebuck.... Look after Miller.... Make him.... a good marine like.... I was.... Don't let Polonsky down....." Sullivan said as blood came out of his mouth.

"Why sergeant?!" Roebuck asked his sarge.

"Because they are good men.. Treat them like I did.... I need to see the other marines..... right now.... Farewell Roebuck." then Sullivan dies with a smile on his face.

"Oh Sullivan. You were so good.... This didn't have to end like this!" Miller got to his knees and then shouted to the heavens "WHY GOD!!!!!!!!!!?"

Miller had lost a fellow sergeant. Roebuck swore "I'll make those Japs pay. I swear it!"
