Kilo Company (1st Platoon, Bravo Squad)
"Where the hell is Poulson with those rockets?!?!" screamed Hultenius as he fired at the advancing enemy.
"I don't know man; just keep firing on those damn guys!" I answered, but Hultenius was right. I had ordered Poulson to get to the armory for rockets almost five minutes ago. He needed to hurry otherwise we wouldn't last much longer in these bunkers. Hultenius and I continued to cover the left flank, when all of a sudden a mortar round struck inside the perimeter.
"Crap! Sir was that near the armor-"I cut off Hultenius do to that fact that I had the same question.
"We'll have to see, fall back to Broushet's position!" I yelled, as we ran to Sarge's position, firing as we ran. As we rounded a corner in the bunker, we saw the Sergeant, and he saw us. He looked pissed, but then worried at the same time.
"Jacobs, you mind telling me what the hell are you doing over here!" He yelled, as Private Henry fired his M249 down range.
"Sir, that mortar round that just hit… We think it hit near the armory!" I yelled over the sound of gun fire.
"Get to the point son!" He replied angrily.
"I sent Poulson for rockets! We've got tanks inbound!" I answered him.
"Ok! Jacobs, take Binx and Henry, and get to Poulson's position! Hultenius, get Trimble and Haag, and get them back here A.S.A.P!" He ordered us.
"YES SIR!" We all yelled. I signaled for Henry and Binx to follow, and we ran towards the armory. As we neared its position we noticed that the mortar had only glanced it, leaving a jagged hole on the side.
"Henry, you're on over watch. Binx, help me find Poulson!" I ordered. As Henry covered us, Binx and I searched for Poulson. We found him near the back door, with an injured leg.
"About time you guys showed up!" He yelled.
"Stow it Marine! Binx patch him up." I commanded.
"So, where are the rockets Dane?" I asked as Binx patched him up.
"Don't worry; I managed to grab around nine of them." He said, not realizing that there were twenty tanks.
"Good work! Now, Binx you help Poulson up and carry him. Henry, help me carry these rockets." Everyone followed their orders and we were on our way back when the Sarge came running with a soldier across his shoulders.
"Sir, what's going on?" I yelled as he neared our group.
"Tanks broke through, they got Hultenius! We need to hold them here!" He yelled. My heart sank as I heard one of Bravo Squad's Marines was dead.
"Alright, Marines! You heard him, dig in! We will not lose this base!" I yelled
