Chapter 27: Ch 25. Besieged

Jester’s POV

Bang-Bang

Bang-Bang

How did I even end up in such a situation?!

As the enemy reinforcements flooded the village I was finally forced to cover in the bell room. If I stick my head out then I will be shot by one of the archers, if I keep sitting here then the enemy will soon break the door and the barricade, if I run then I am dead and if I stay then I am dead as well.

Brilliant, my a*.

“We almost did it! Just a bit more!” The enemies were shouting outside.

“GO F* YOURSELF! YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME, MOTHERF*!”

Tra-ta-ta-ta-ta

Even if those f*ers get here then I will keep fighting. If the others can hear the gunfire then they should understand that there are enemies in the village. They will meet them with lead and none of ours shall be harmed.

The door was already cracking. There were so many bullet holes and so many hits that the wood will soon be broken. While I had some time at my disposal I hid and set up a booby trap with a grenade. Whoever comes here will be met with the remaining bullets and the…

“C*&@ &@ !”

“What?!” The radio started working.

“S*&# &@^#&r, &r& a&i^@?!”

“CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING, OVER!”

“**********”

“This is Jester, come in! Do you hear me?!”

“**********”

“This is Jester, come in! Captain! For whoever’s sake, respond!”

“M&@ail-Gr&@* * &*an-Dm&^%y-&lena-Mik&^@!” [Mikhail-Greek I Ivan-Dmitriy-Elena-Mikhail  - We are coming.] This should mean they are coming…?!

Boom

A shot in the distance. This one can only mean one thing.

‘CRACK!’

“GO-GO-GO!” The enemy broke the door. Now is not the time to think.

Tra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta

I was going to suppress them with fire but the enemy was just running at the bullets. They did not even try to hide so all of the bullets met their targets.

“R*@&ond! J&^ter, ar* you st&^^ a&**e?!”

Tra-ta-ta-ta-ta

“S&^@, w^ are c*&ing. J&st h(*& ^hem b^%k a bi^ &$nger!”

NEOOOOW

“Ground, come in! This is Sugar, air support is in the area. Where can I be of assistance?” A jet thundered above the battlefield and the confusion and shock the enemy faced was enough to give me time. I cleared the enemies who entered the church and could finally respond.

“Man, I don’t know who you are but you timing is impeccable! I am besieged from all sides and am in close combat! What do you have under your wings?!”

“Ground, reading you loud and clear. I have four 250 kg presents and I am ready to send them to your friends. Give me a target, over!”

NEOOOOOW

What should I do?! I can call for a bombing run and die a hero… or…

“S*! Sugar, this is ground! Erhm… vector… erhm… f*! F*! F*!”

“Calm down, no need to rush! I am going in to strafe at the guys outside friendly object, over!”

BRRRRRTTTTTT

NEOOOOOW

“Okay, target vector 175. Look for a bridge, over!”

Tra-ta-ta

The attack gave me enough time to prepare for the next assault.

“Roger, I see a river. Following it.”

Tra-ta-ta

Tra-ta

“Ground, I see a large group of unknown forces. No visual on the requested target, over!”

Tra-ta-ta-ta

‘Clack-Clack’

I loaded the last magazine. I can either risk everything to blow that bridge up or just ask the pilot to bomb the forces he sees.

Fine, come what may!

“Sugar, this is ground. Can you fire some shots at the possible location of the target? I will tell you if you hit it!”

“Roger, setting the attack course.”

NEOOOOOW

When I lifted my head to look out of the cover I saw it, a rusty old tube with wings.

“Are you really flying that f* MiG?!”

“She’s not that bad! Coming in, gun's hot!”

T-t-t-t

“Try again, aim to your left! Right between that group of trees!”

While the pilot was turning I returned to the position to continue firing.

“Coming in, ready to fire!”

T-t-t-t-t

“I SAID TO YOUR LEFT! … YES, RIGHT THERE!”

“Roger, preparing for the bombing run.”

NEOOOOW

The plane buzzed me as the last bullets were shot. I stood up, despite the archers and was looking at the arrow flying to the bridge. Something separated from it and fell onto the bridge.

KABOOM

I returned to the position. The enemies were rushing inside.

“Now he is dead!” They were already celebrating, despite the fact they were climbing over a pile of bodies.

BOOM

I was deafened by an explosion that happened right inside the church.

“Sorry for being late! Beril-Main is here and ready to fight!” The angelic voice of my guardian angel.

I dropped the rifle and hobbled to a window which faced the street.

The iron turtle crawled its way while spewing fire and death around it.

“Still alive, ha? Good job, boy. Come here.” She called me while peeking from the slightly opened hatch.

“You ain’t going anywhere, freak…” I turned around and saw that a man in armor was climbing upstairs.

“You are dea…!”

BANG

He’d better watched his step… there was a grenade after all…
