Day #917: no more radio

Day 917, 12:54 Published in Serbia Serbia by Ilija Bozic
‘Stop your jibber-jabber, these are serious times!’

I was discussing the music broadcasted by TDI Radio Beograd with JohnMcClane, but according to Vettige Swa there were more serious things to attend to. He appeared to be right...because just a few seconds later we could feel the shockwave from a huge explosion.

‘@*$&#! One of those Chinese Hongniao missiles has hit a major oil supply. Ilija, turn off that @#*$!& music.’ Geopaja wasn’t happy, obviously. While I turned down the music I grinned towards JohnMcClane and whispere😛 ‘you see, even geopaja thinks goldsylver is awful.’ I put the radio in my backpack and listened to the instructions of geopaja. Apparently a Hungarian satellite had spotted a Spanish armoured column on the move just five kilometres to the west of us. Even though we would not have armoured support ourselves, we had been ordered to intercept them and prevent them from reaching the nearby artillery batteries. A large number of MRL’s had been positioned in and around the fortified town of Daqing, raining death and despair during the first assaults on our position. However, ammunition had started to run low and the Bulgarian Antonov’s bringing fresh ammunition were still about an hour away.

I grabbed my M21 and hoisted a M-90 missile over my shoulder. While I checked my partner's backpack I saw Angkor quickly reviewing his new targeting system with Bibesko . We had set up several of our newest ALAS missiles in the area, easily hidden in the rough terrain. Angkor and Bibesko had been provided with the equipment to guide these missiles, even though they had never used them before. But in this situation, they would play a crucial role.

‘All ready? Let’s move.’ The words had not even left his mouth and geopaja had already left the bunker, quickly followed by the rest of our unit.
