The group takes up defensive positions, while waiting for the calvary to
arrive. The LT sends his tracker back to watch over the rebels.
Some 15 minutes later, the first part of the back up arrived. It was the
remainder of the platoon that the squad was from. Now they numbered 20 with
the additions of Boulay and party. At about the same time, the watcher
returned.
"LT, Rebels are moving out. Looks like they got wind that the boys are
coming in."
"We can't let them just walk out of here. He have to hold them until back
up arrives. Sargent, " the LT said turning to his platoon sargent.
"Take 4 men and head out to the right, about 40 meters. Corporal Mentz
take another 4, heading to the left. We need to hit them from three
directions, and we need to look big. Big enough to keep them from running,
and definately big enough from assulting. The rest will stay here in the
center. Get moving."
With that the marines started to move out. The Platoon Sargent taking his
men and Corporal Mentz taking his. The rest started to take up positions,
preparing for the impending assult.
While this happened, the Captain took a few moments to talk to the LT. This
Left Boulay and the Master Sargent to them selves for a moment.
"So, Captain... ever been in a situation like this."
