Burn 'em out
Peleliu Island
September 15th 1944:
Roebucks Journal: "Though we've taken the airfield, the Japanese still hold more of the flags, we need to go to the inland, there they have trenches and mortar teams, so we got flamethrowers, we'll burn 'em out!"
Roebucks team were in the trenches moving up to a nearby mortar team, Miller was using the flamethrower, they made it to a hut and then they were pinned down by a machine gunner
Roebuck: "Miller use one of the smoke grenades!"
Miller threw one near the gunner confusing him. They then killed the gunner and took out the motor team he was protecting
Roebuck: "two more!"
They move through a small underground trench, inside were more Japanese, the roar from the gun fire, shook the trench, Miller burned a lot of the Japanese, they managed to get out and found another motor team, he scorched them as they loaded up motor shells
Roebuck: "nice work Miller, just one left"
They turned around to see Banzai soldiers attack them, they managed to kill a few marines, but Polonsky and Miller burned them all, they rest of them ran to the last motor team, which stopped firing motors and started firing their bolt action rifles, but Miller easily burned them all and, the last of the Japanese retreated into the forest
Roebuck: "nice work marines, were now going to take the main land, let's go kill 'em!
