I'm not much of a story teller (well actually I'm an aspiring author...) so I'll get to the point.
-Jabal Al-Burj
Our front line had been clashed and interlocked with the forces of the MEC for a few hours now, around every corner of the city an ambush of some sort. Our Blackhawks were keeping a steady train of fresh soldiers moving into the city. The MEC were funneling men across a bridge not 50 meters form my position, my squad had been cut down to only one man; Me. The enemy had managed to place a firebase and bunkers on the bridge, forming an effective roadblock; thus preventing our forces from moving in for the final strike.
I came down an alleyway and out across an open street, the sound of a firefight echoed from my right, though I kept moving. I ran up the steep, rocky ridge, I could clearly see the enemies position on the bridge. They had Vodnik after Vodnik crossing the bridge, full of men, I was a but stressed for a tactical solution. I decided to try a risky, rather simple assault. I ran down to the shore line undetected, slipping into the water and slowly swimming across the river while below the bridge. As I neared the opposite shore, the bridge was partially destroyed, lightly damaging the swelling defenses above me.
I walked up the shore and prepared to move up behind the enemy. I checked the level of ammunition of my SAW and it was good. Everything was perfect, I waited for a Vodnik to cross, it stopped and the occupants hopped out. I ran up the bridge and lay directly flat on the ground, a perfect line of fire upon the 7-11 enemies in front of me. I pulled the trigger and sprayed rounds into the flank of the enemy, I didn't stop firing until my weapon was out of ammunition, I quickly jumped over the side of the bridge and reloaded. Across from me, I saw several more enemies running up a river bank, I refreshed the chamber and fired a few rounds across the river, killing two enemies. I ran back up ontop of the bridge and again fired until I needed to reload. The enemy position weakened, our forces were able to rush the bridge and seize it. At the end of the day I had managed to cause horrid casualties on my enemy, without them ever knowing where I was.
So uh, yeah. Thats what happened.
