Equestrian War II

Let's see, past the beach, past the bunker, oh yeah.

After those events we come across an opening to a path of trench network channels, We have no choice but to go in, I'm armed with my M1000 rifle and a traditional Colt M1911 pistol and only a few grenades. Weapons start firing and several near death experiences from my squad mates and 9/10 come out alive. As we exit the trench channels Lance Corporal Tuey acknowledges a neighponese soldier climbing into a tree.

"What's he doing?"

We all sit in wait, little to our knowledge something awaits us in turn. The soldier climbs the tree and sends out a flare, rendering us blind for a moment. The Noises of the flare burning and grass shuffling only lead us to believe we were ambushed, I pull out my Colt and start firing at the grass, the flare dies out and I see four Neighponese bodies on the ground, and 2 Ameripony soldier. One of them, is Private Ryan. Remember Ryan? From a couple of chapters ago? He's no longer with us.

"Damn, we lost Ryan, he was our best gunner, and my only brother."

We all turn to Roe-Buck, he'd never let us see a tear crawl from his eye, but this time he didn't care. How was he going to explain this to Ryan's family back home? We all sat there for a brief moment and let Roe-Buck absorb what had happened. He always told us that his family was made of steel, for a time we all believed it, I still do. For anyone to shed a tear over a relative who had just fallen before you, truly had the heart of a horse in my book. Private Polonsky had the closest ties out of all of us to Ryan and Roe-Buck. Not even Sullivan knew them as well as Polonsky.
