We went back into the base to check on that supply drop. "So what is in this supply drop?" I asked Alex. Alex turned to face me and said, "Ammo, rations and a M1A1 Abrams tank". Jack looked at the tank and said, "Oh I so call dibs!" Alex turned towards Jack and said, "Oh please, this tank is for the Assault on the tango's nearby hq, we have enough ammo to last us for months. In case this takes too long, our last resort is to bomb them with a harrier airstrike."
I looked outside the window to see more tangos along with 2 enemy hinds inbound. I turned towards everyone and shouted, "Get ready people, tangos coming right at us with 2 enemy hinds!" Rick looked up towards the hinds heading straight for the base and said, "Oh great, here comes the welcome company".
The tangos kept shooting at us, the only way we could kill them is by sniping them, and Rick is the only one who can take them on without being shot at. The hinds are keeping us from heading out the building and firing at the tangos and vice versa. The only way we can handle the hinds is from the DZ and Alex is the only one who can blow up those hinds.
"Alex! You're our only hope! Only you can destroy those hinds!" I said. Alex grabbed his stinger and turned towards me and said, "I'll try, but they have to be in my sight. Try to draw their fire towards me, then I'll fire my missile launcher".
I turned towards the entrance and started sweating, I didn't know whether I was going to stay alive or die from the gun fire. But either way, I have to do it...for the team. I ran outside and started emptying my clip onto the hinds. They definitely noticed me and began shooting, As I ran back inside, I felt a huge burst of pain flow through my body as I fall to the ground. I turn around to notice my leg had been shot as I entered the base.
I got up and limped my way towards the DZ and emptied another clip into the two hinds. They followed me to my position. I quickly ran behind some cover while Alex turned from the supply drop with his stinger ready and he shot it. It quickly hit the first hind, causing it to explode. The shock waves from the explosion sent the other enemy hind circling around uncontrollably.
"YEAH!!!" screamed Alex triumphantly. I limped towards the medical bay while watching the soldiers of Assault Unit 246 head outside with their newly reloaded weapons.
After an hour later of patching up my leg and resting, I decided to head out to help the team. I grabbed my M4 and ran outside to see that the Pave Low had just arrived. The Pave Low kept on shooting the tangos who are desperately trying to shoot down the Pave Low. After realizing it's useless, they decided to run back from the fight.
"So, looks like reinforcements has arrived" I said to Alex. Alex looked back at me and replied, "Yep, looks like tango's running back to their hq. A perfect opportunity to strike."
I looked to see the M1A1 Abrams tank advance from the DZ towards the abandoned area. "Looks like it's our time to strike back!" Shouted Jack. "Ha ha! Looks like it is!" I shouted back at Jack.
About 20 minutes later, we got to see the tango's hq, a farm house equipped with a lot of defence mechanisms, and who knows about land mines? We had to be careful and on our toes. "We need to deactivate the land mines before we can send the M1A1 tank towards the hq, as long as this happens, they're going to nibble at our feet until we're bone!" I yelled at Alex. Alex failed to hear me because of the tank's movements blocking out my screams towards Alex.
While walking we noticed the Pave Low come from above us, shooting the tango's who are willing to fight back against the Pave Low. I kept thinking to myself about how we will win, but little did I know the tango's will strike back...
