Quoted By:
A crack that you recognized as the report of the light 2.5 centimeter cannon; another puff of smoke. You wondered if the squad leader managed to recognize the light tank that would have been far deadlier to them- or if both of them were not the 2 centimeter automatic cannon variant. It was hard to tell even close up. With this much smoke, though…it’d be soon a good time for them to retreat.
Though, it made you think- all the noise was coming from the south. Nothing from the north. Only half of the reported tanks were here- where were the others? For that matter, where was their supposed air support? You tried to listen for propellers- but if it was there, you couldn’t tell if it was quiet, or if you were simply hearing your imagination’s conjurations.
“Do you see anything, north boys?” you asked over the radio. They responded in the negative. “Not in the woods, the snow, or the air?” Still no. “Garbage men, what’s your progress?”
“Almost ready to start.”
Slow, as expected. Slow like the air support, the strange heavy autogyros, which had been reported some time ago now.
Were they…late?
In that case, should you act on that hunch?
>No need to act rashly. Let the gate squad retreat and draw everything in as planned. It wouldn’t matter who came when.
>Go to reinforce the gate squad yourself- you could take two tankettes yourself, and inflict a terrible amount of damage, given their proportion of the enemy’s firepower.
>There were holes in the wall. You could slip out that way, and try something clever… (With who?)
>Other?
