Chapter 10

May 14th, 1945

Okinawa, Japan:

Roebuck's journal: "we've been in Okinawa for a few months now, the mud here is intense, the tanks are getting stuck and supplies aren't getting through, we can't even move the wounded, we need to clear a base for them, we're taking out a fortress!"

The marine squad, were hiding in the grass, it was raining hard, their guns and clothes were soaked, Roebuck was getting ready to make a move on the fortress, Miller, Polonsky and many more marines were now moving.

Roebuck: "let's go get this done, Major Gordon has ordered an attack on the enemy stronghold, we need to get up the hill, supplies are on their way"

Polonsky: "when will they get here?"

Roebuck: "let's just get up the hill, Polonsky"

Miller held a flamethrower, and carried a browning on his back

They ran up the hill and saw a small building, inside was a Japanese gunner, and some snipers.

Roebuck: "Miller get a smoke grenade up there!"

Miller threw the grenade up it exploded into a cloud of smoke, they ran up to the stronghold, the enemy soldier got of the gun and picked up a type 100 machine, gun he shot a marine but Roebuck shot the Japanese in the building, they took the first stronghold building, the next one was out in a cave, the Japanese were inside, Miller picked up a scoped sniper and killed the Japanese inside, while his squad took care of the ones outside, they moved through the cave and on the other side were some satchel charges

Roebuck: "Miller, Polonsky grab those satchel charges and plant them inside the enemy strongholds!"

They both grabbed three, while the squad covered them, they ran up to another small building, the entrances were blocked, Miller threw a satchel charge through a small gap in the wall he then used a switch to blow it up, killing the Japanese inside the bunker. Polonsky was moving to the next one with Roebuck, he threw a satchel charge inside the building and hit the switch and it exploded, then some Japanese banzai sodiers came out of the grass and tried to stab Polonsky, Miller shot them with his browning, they moved over to a small bridge, the Japanese were on the other side, shooting the squad

Roebuck: "get to cover NOW!"

Miller ran over the bridge with the flamethrower and burned the soldiers

Roebuck: "nice work Miller!"

Miller found another bunker he threw another satchel charge in a blew it up

Roebuck: "that's all of 'em good work!"

Miller burned the last of the Japanese, they screamed as they died

They came to a building they went inside, it was empty

Polonsky: "what do we do now?"

Roebuck: "we keep moving"

Outside some American tanks were moving up a hill, where some Japanese were shooting them, just up the hill was big stronghold with 3 machine gunners

Roebuck: "take cover and let the tanks do the work"

The tank moved up to the stronghold and blew up a gunner, but the Japanese, loaded up a rocket and blew up the tank

Roebuck: "NO, everyone grab a sniper and be careful shoot at the right time!"

Miller shot a machine gunner, but another took his place

Roebuck: "it's no use it's a damn fortress we gotta flank 'em, Miller you and Allen flank right, me and Polonsky will flank left"

They moved in the direction remembering to stay in cover, some Japanese soldiers came out of the building, Miller burned them with the flamethrower, they managed to get inside the hold, but there was a lot of enemy sodiers inside, but they were no match for Millers flamethrower, Banzai soldiers and machine gunners came from around the corner, Miller switched to his browning and killed them all, they went upstairs and more soldiers were up there, Miller met with Polonsky and Roebuck

Roebuck: "we just gotta secure the roof now, let's move!"

They ran outside and went up a hill and more soldiers were up there, Allen ran up too fast and was ripped to shreds by a machine gun

Roebuck: "NO! Goddamnit!"

Roebuck threw a grenade and it blew them up. When they got up there, the rest of the marines showed up

Roebuck: "we lost many great men, they will be remembered, outstanding work marines"

Polonsky: "let's get out of this damn hole and get on with OUR mission!"
