chapter 3 : talbot thunder's story
Previous ChapterMy name is Talbot, but my friends call me "thunder". I probably got the name for my role in the armoured division. Well tanks, more specifically. I'm no rookie in the military. I've been here for 2 years. I've gotten quite used to the heat of combat. Well driving a hunk a metal with a 120mm cannon on is not easy but it sure is fun. Anyways we heard Tha some commi's were gonna come and try to engage us. We also heard that the enemy were bringing armour.
I spent most of my time fixing my tank. My hooves were full of grease afterwards. Getting a little work done doesn't harm anybody. We were going to be motorized tomorrow. Me and my fellow pony crew loaded up some rounds and other ammunition into the tank.
The next day we were up early, fuelling up our machines or war. The rest of the armed convoy moved up the road while we spread out into the fields beside the road. Suddenly one of the antracs leading the convoy, was hit by a mine. I loaded up a HE shell. I saw some ponies running across the field, and I gunned them down with my lmg. The communists looked like they were retreating and we all backed down. My hooves left the throttle as i leaned back into my seat, looking out of my sights. The combat died down and we moved back to base.
