[EDIT with ravivkk] eIsraeli Heroes of Prekmurje

Day 1,181, 18:42 Published in Israel Israel by pantherthug89

On IRC this afternoon me and a few fellow eIDF members were just chilling for a bit talking military and such while the battle of Prekmurje raged on. I quickly suggested a Mass Attack as I saw the clock run down on the first battle. We werent the significant factor in the mini-battle nor did we put up an ungodly amount of damage but we did do enough damage to make a difference in the very tight first mini battle and the excitement and patriotism as a result really got me excited about this. I’d like to write this article just to commemorate the people who showed up to fight with me id like to write a fictional first person perspective of the battle.


As my strike force of merely 4 men sent to aid the Croatian’s hovered toward our destination I scanned the seeping hilly Murska Sobato sanction of the Prekmurje region, as the mighty Croatian Army scaled hilltops gallantly overtaking choke points in the Northern most part of Prekmurje. I glance to my left and my fellow eIsraeli Defence Forces comrade muttered “thuggy, are we really expecting to make any difference in a battle of this magnitude?” I shot back at him to simply focus on the task at hand and fight your heart out. We were armed with simple outdated Uzis and I caught GNEFCZ and Val3s cleaning them diligently preparing for battle.I caught the gleam of ravivkk's eyes shimmering as he glared at the whisping hills below, clutching his pendant tight against his chest. I grimaced as I forcefully vowed that I would not allow him to die on this mission, I would rather take a shot myself than see that man, my brother go down....

The chopper ride there seemed to completely dissipate from my memory as we roped down the sides of the chopper. The moment we managed to get on the ground a Croatian officer screamed at us, “We are making our final advance for our first assault on Prekmurje, we need you to go with the main force to cross the Mur River and push the Slovenians back!”. I had no time to respond before he whipped his head around and jolted forward so I simply nodded and signaled my men forward. There was little chatter as we jogged to the battlefield. We finally came to large opening where hundreds of Croatians high-kneeded their way across the Murs River. Slovenians were camping out on the opposite side concentrating their fire toward the center of our crossing. Myself, Aeroner, ravivkk and GNEFCZ stood awestruck for a moment while the unphased Val3s sprinted straight through us to join the Croatian crossing. We linked up with Val3s and worked our way across the river spraying bullets on to the other end where the Slovenians viciously bombarded the region with mortars, machine guns, and small arms fire. I swear I could reach out and grab a thousand bullets...


After crossing the river I ordered my men to take a flanking route along the trail while the main force pushed forward. As soon as we made it about 10 paces into the lush forest a Slovenian hurled himself onto me screeching gibberish into my bloodshot eyes while bright red flares jetossoned into the sky. Before the Slovenian had a chance to pull his pistol to my face his eyes grew large as his last breth trickled my face. GNEFCZ gave me a nod as he ripped his knife out of the Slovenians neck and I shoved the body aside. Just as I orientated myself Val3s ducked swiftly as a skinny Slovenian rolled over the top of him and he smoothly gave him a burst of his Uzi. As I reveled in his veteran like demeanor as a rookie to warfare yet another Slovenian attempted swiping me across the face with the butt of his rifle. I instinctively ducked as the butt swished passed my helmet, I clutched my knife quickly and drove it deep beneath his ribs with all the force I could muster. I looked up again to see Aeroner and ravivkk spraying ever which way back to back, Uzi in each hand as the ambushers either jumbled across the damp gooey mud or retreated trudging back into the brush.

After the Incident we galloped through the brush off of pure adrenaline spraying at everything that moved fighting our way to the rendevous. All of us had received several minor wounds from stray shots fired in our direction ensuing the ambush. Ravivkk stumbled and hit fell head first straight into the mud. I shouted to GNEFCZ and Aeroner to keep their pace as I struggled to lift ravivkk completely ignoring the deep flesh would on his upper right ankle. I ignored Slovenian cries and felt the hum of ravivkk's Uzi viciously laying down rounds as I limped through the undergrowth with my brother on my back. After what seemed like days we came across an opening with large tents camped up across the area, Croatian flags triumphantly sparkled and waved with tremendous grace overlooking the outpost. We entered the rendezvous compost as the officer I had previously met gave me the rundown, he was completely unscathed. “We managed to slightly overtake the Slovenians on this initial assault, thanks for securing that trail it will serve as a supply route for our operations later today in the area.” Exhaused I gave him a saulte as I hailed our chopper. He glanced back at me as we hopped on and said “leaving so soon we have a whole day ahead of fighting”. I just chuckled and we all gave him a salute as we lifted off and headed back to Israel.




As a total we did approximately 25k worth of damage making a fairly strong showing considering there was only 4 of us with only self funds.


If you would please thank GNEFCZ, Aeroner, ravivkk and Val3s for representing you well in the battle.
