Mika and her squad defended the hill. If they lost here, no more reinforcements would arrive.
BANG! A t26 exploded from a round of a 20mm lahiti anti tank rifle, Aki was a fantastic shot.
Reinforcements arrived.
"Ahh, reinforcements, the wind must be in our favour". Exclaimed Mika, "deploy your machine guns to hold this sector".
Their commander came out of the group, a girl with green hair and twin tails.
"Scusa, siamo solo volontari, non parliamo tedesco o finlandese". She said.
"Wait, they're Italian?", asked Aki, puzzled.
Mika pointed to the right flank and made gestures to deploy their weapons, the Italians understood and set up Maxim guns from the first war.
"Comunisti!" cried a blonde Italian.
Their gunfire massed driving back the intruders, by noon, the attack retreated.
Mika and the two others, looked at their food supplies, almost stale bread and cold fish.
However, the Italians ate canned cooked pasta. Their leader, seeing the Fin's plight, sat over and offered them extra cans.
Through a game of charades, Mika learned the Italian's name was Anchovy, a nickname given by Carpaccio and Pepperoni, her friends, much like Aki and Mikko.
Mika drew a picture in the snow of Italy and Finland, and an arrow pointing from Italy to Finland and a question mark.
Anchovy simply drew a sickle and Hammer with a x over it.
