Chapter 2

The battle of Peleliu

September 15th 1944:

Debrief:

Roebuck: "a couple years after the raid on Makin, we're heading a full on assault on Peleliu island. No rescue this time, our mission take the airfield and cripple their supply network. With us is some familiar faces, and some new recruits, but guys like Miller, Sullivan and myself we're known as the old breed, "old" we're not even out of our twenties."

Roebuck, Sullivan, Polonsky and Miller along with some new guys, were all in a LVT on their way to Peleliu with several other battleships and LVTs fighting alongside, the Japanese were trying to hold off and use planes, but they were diving into the boats.

Roebuck: "good luck to all of you"

The LVT moved toward the land, there was explosions everywhere from the bombs being let off by both sides, the shockwave made the LVT shake, one of the Marines saw a plane crash into another LVT, just next to them

Marine: "oh my god, was that one of ours?!"

The LVT docked but the ramp got stuck on some coral

Driver: "the ramp…IT WONT GO DOWN?!"

A Marine lent over the side of the LVT and saw the coral

Marine: "the coral it's stuck on the…"

The Marine was shot in the head by a Japanese machine gunner

Roebuck: "DROP THE RAMP!"

A bomb hit the side of their LVT causing it to explode, Miller Sullivan fell out on the left and saw 3 new recruits get shot by the machine gunner, Roebuck pulled them both out of the water

Roebuck: "thank god you're both still in one piece, Miller take this radio and call for an airstrike over where the Japanese infantry are go!"

Miller used the radio, and signalled an airstrike

Radio: "ok 5 seconds until impact!"

Then there was a huge explosion and the guns stopped firing

Roebuck: "good work marines move up toward the front lines"

Ahead of them were more Marines fighting the Japanese, Miller Picked up an M1 Garand left there by a solider, the fought the Japanese until they could move up, they had to move through the dirt trenches, and on the other side was another machine gunner he killed two Marines as they tried to run away, Sullivan threw a grenade over to them, and blew up the machine gun as well as the gunner, they moved up to a huge building with three more Machine gunners, before they could get there out of the grass was about 10 Banzi soldiers they screamed as they stabbed the marines, some of them overpowered the Banzi soldiers, Miller, Roebuck, Sullivan and Polonsky moved up to another trench, Roebuck and Miller went inside, while the rest of them tried to kill the gunners.

The both of them went around the other side of the trench and killed the soldiers on the other side they made it inside the building and, went up a wooden ladder and killed the 3 machine gunners, so the others could get inside to, then the Japanese pulled up in two tanks, they shot the side of the building, and Miller picked up a Japanese bazooka, and fired a rocket at the tank causing it to explode, then Sullivan helped Miller load up another rocket and he fired it at that one making another huge explosion that echoed across Peleliu.

Roebuck: "mission complete good work Marines, we should move up"

Sullivan: "I'm buying us all drinks when get home, good work men!"

A Marine opened a door leading to an extraction point, and a Japanese soilder came out from the door and stabbed Sullivan in the chest

Roebuck: "NOOO SULLIVAN!"

He shot the Japanese solider in the face, and held Sullivan by the head

Roebuck: "come on buddy you're gonna be find"

But Sullivan stopped breathing, he was dead

Roebuck: "dammit, I'll make em pay for that come on Marines!"
