Sarah all arms op

Sarah All Arms Op

Sarah, Lee and John went on an operation with the English Army

There was a small base of Scottish fighters in a house

The house was fortified with concrete, sand bags and trenches

There was below ground cellars and storage rooms

These held accommodation for fighters and weapons

The Scottish fighters had attacked several border posts and towns

English Army soldiers struggled to defensively stop them

Casualties in the towns had been in the dozens

An operation was put together with English freedom fighters

These had skills and experience from their own cross border ops

The army would provide firepower and troop numbers

An English Army Apache helicopter was to give air support

It had no guided weapons only its cannon and unguided rockets

Sixty freedom fighters and two hundred soldiers were involved

Enemy fighter strength was estimated at sixty or more

These were determined fighters who knew their job roles

To fight and defeat the English to gain Scottish independence

They were almost there and needed stopping in one last battle

Sarah, Lee and John were armed given weapons

Stirling sub machine guns and bayonets provided by the army

These dated from the fifties and were well maintained

It was a three-day hike at night to the target area

By day the force hid and maintained guards to avoid discovery

At the jump off point Sarah met with the English Army NCOs

They briefed on final battle plans and mission code words

Sarah in turn briefed John, Lee and other fighters

They were a force to be reckoned with to defeat the Scots

Just before dawn they were half a mile from the house

It was by a small wood and overgrown fields

The Apache helicopter was on the way

It would soften up the target with dozens of rockets

The battle group heard the turbine engines

And the gunship sped overhead firing immediately

Its rockets peppered the target exploding violently

The freedom fighters cheered and raised their fists

Debris, flames and smoke obscured the target

Enemy fighters emerged from trenches and entrances

They fired wildly sending tracers skywards

The Apache made a gun run firing its big cannon

Shells exploded among the enemy fighters

Screams and shouts echoed over the fight

English freedom fighters and soldiers ran forward

Firing their own guns at selected targets

Sarah fired single shots at enemy fighters

John fired on full auto and Lee waited

He sized up three enemies then aimed

A trigger pulled dropped all three

Sarah raised her fist and rallied her troops

She pointed and dozens of English advanced

Soldiers fired and threw grenades

It was bedlam but planned chaos

The house was burning and smoking

Why storm it when it could be burned?

Several soldiers were killed or injured

A freedom fighter had his head blown off

Sarah couldn’t help him so she grabbed his weapon

She fired this at running figures through the smoke

The Apache came in again hitting the house and trenches

A gun position returned fire at the chopper

Green tracers reached up pretty and perilous

English soldiers advanced to the trenches

Grenades were used to clear them

The freedom fighters stormed the gun position

Six were hit with three killed

Enemy fighters were being depleted

They continued to resist causing casualties

A final Apache run stopped their advance

Superior numbers and firepower won here

Soldiers and freedom fighters reached the house

It was an inferno with nobody left alive

Fighting continued in the trenches and tunnels

Sarah spotted five fighters trying to escape

“Guys follow me let’s get them!”

The trio went kept low and hid behind a tree

The enemy five were by an old rusting car

She told John to fire at the vehicle

Lee joined Sarah circling their enemy

John fired shorts bursts which peppered the car

The five ran to some small trees

Sarah and Lee waited then fired

All five were cut down by bloody violence

None returned a shot or were taken alive

“Well done mate, let’s get back to John.”

The attack was almost over

The English Army troops guarded the area

Four other fighters tried to flee

Soldiers cut them down without mercy

No prisoners were needed or taken

The Apache circled overhead then flew home

When the tunnels and trenches were clear

The dead Scottish fighters were left to rot

A powerful reminder to their comrades

If you attack England there will be a reaction

One you could never contain or control
