Join the new world

A kick in the ribs from Wyli and another day in the Para's begins,cuddled up to my rifle at the bottom of a shellscrape somewhere in West Siberia.
It had been a hard day yesterday,we attacked a section of the line held by the Italian divisione Piave and had dug in as soon as darkness fell,not wanting to lose the ground so hard won.
My coms crackled into life and Para CO HexXA's voice came through
"Stand to !"
Myself and Wyli checked our weapons and began to scan the horizon,it was just before dawn on the second day of the battle,the mist was rising from the field before us and all seemed quiet
"Thier out there somewhere" whispered Wyli i nodded as i rechecked my kit.
We finally stood down a quater of an hour after dawn and Wyli set about getting some grub warmed through in our mess tins,we sat back to back and ate,listening to the sounds of A platoon and the rest of the Paras going about their morning duties.
THUD! THUD! THUD! "Incomming!"shouted GF
We hugged the earth as mortar rounds threw up earth all around us and smoke began to billow from the craters,THUD! THUD! THUD! a second set of eruptions and the smoke screen was complete
"Stand to !"
"Here they come!" shouted IndieKid from further down the line
BRRRP! BRRRP! Hazzn,Kumnaa and Sparkiegeek opened up with the section weapons,tracer disapeared into the distance,as from out of the smoke we began to make out a mass of shadowy figures weaving across the field towards us
CRACK ! Wyli opens up and as if this was the signal everyone had been waiting for the whole front bursts into life,rounds buzzed overhead and the crump of exploding handgrenades filled the air.
The fire from our lines increased and our own mortar team began to pepper the field.
The figures begin to fall,then slow,then turn a run,a cheer erupted from the Paras
Then a noise we had hoped not to hear coughs an roars into life,as unseen armoured vehicles fire up,the ground vibrates as slowly they approach
We began to make out thier silhouettes,then the flash before we hear the report,and a fountain of earth rises up just infront of our position,Jonathan scrambles to set up our milan anti tank system
"Heads down lads we've got incomming friendlies"comes HexXA's calm voice over the coms
First one then another of the tanks rocks on it's tracks then seems to burst open flinging debris across the battlefield as the dark shadow of the first gunship sweeps across our position spraying round after round into the now fleeing enemy
"After them the Para's,no quater,Kill em all"is shouted over the coms
Sticking another magazine in my rilfe,i jump up and follow the rest of the Para's TO VICTORY !
