1800 hrs bravo zulu time: foely and franklin just left to take out the
bridge the other half of saber team, Bradley, and Conners are going to
investigate the crash sight we now follow that half of saber team on their
path. "come-on conners lets hustle we don't want to be investigating a
crash sight in the dark"
"I know Bradley but you try carrying almost 25 kilos (50 lb. for all you
yanks. just kidding*) in my backpack alone, and a machine gun that holds a
hundred rounds per magazine and 2 magazines 2 bullets weighing a bit less
than a kilo (2 lb.)". They were arguing quite loudly and they had to
because of the sandstorm but a squad heard them and had been following them
for about 200 meters and the squad was just militia and not well trained so
it wasn't a suprise when a 16 year old boy fired off a round or 2 by
accident. You can see how evil a man would have to be to put a sixteen year
old boy in the heat of battle because shortly after that the whole squad
was lying dead with bullets spread through out their body they hid the
bodies in a small patch of shrubbery. Bradley said "that lightened your
load". they continued on about 5 minutes later they got a radio from Foely
"we were walking and we saw black aluminum the SAS standard franklin looked
up and saw a tigershark helicopter with his girlfriend in front but she was
dead the rotor blade went straight through her the pilot is alive and well
I gave him my desert eagle .50 caliber pistol hi name is Rose, RAF over and
out".
"ok lets keep going" Bradley said with a sure but mild waver in his voice.
As Bradley, and Conners continued they could see traces of smoke in the
distance. A bit further up they were starting to see the same black
aluminum that foely and franklin had seen. They moved around the corner and
saw the crash site it still had some fires burning and as they looked
around they saw small magazines looking as if to fit the MJR 9 mm pistol.
Up the path there were about 23 bodies lying dead with the standard SAS
assault rifle rounds occupying their torso area, The sand was scarlet
(fancy name for a dark blood-like red) surrounding the bodies. And as they
more examined the helicopter they saw a piece sticking out of the sand with
a few pieces of rope in a position that looked as if something had been
tied there, and there was blood on the rope, the metal, and the sand
underneath. Bradley and conners had come to the conclusion that they had
tied mitchell there to interrogate him. They now went to raid the building
that Mitchell was being kept in it was getting dark and they decided to put
on their night vision but sadly it made matters worse because of the sand
storm and only good old Conners had brought thermal vision. After about a 3
kilometer march they reached the building. There were 4 guard towers at the
4 corners of the walled in compound. It was also the barrack to roughly 347
Iraqi soldiers. And although Bradley and Conners were not aware the bridge
Foely and Franklin were supposed to take out had not been taken out and was
still VERY OPERATIONAL.
