“Covering fire!” Sgt. Mills yelled out to his squad. The first fire team set up and started pouring blaster fire into the enemy position. “Lance: Take your team around the left while we’ve got ‘em pinned!” Quickly, the corporal grabbed two men and ran down a gully to the left. They flung sonic grenades into the enemy position and then went over the cover and in among the grumblies. After what seemed an eternity, the position was clear. One of Lance’s men was down, but he might make it if they could get him out to evac. “Bring up the autoblaster!” he screamed. “Move move move!”
Now we’ve got ‘em, Mills thought, That firing position is perfect. They’d just moved in to the new position and set up the repeating blaster when a low rumble sounded through the jungle. “Tank!” screamed Johnson...
