Sgt Howard peered through the smoke at the retreating Germans.
"Coopers had it sir. McDonald I think will make it" Corporal Smith said behind him. The squad were all a bit stunned they had been used to feeling invulnerable in their Galahad armour but even though the Germans had been defeated they had took down 2 of Sgt Harwoods squad.
"Right thank you Corporal, send a couple of lads to watch the bridge. I'll go see McDonald"
"Yes Sarge" with that reply the Corporal walked off. Harwood walked over to where McDonald lay, his armour blackened and torn.
"Trust you to get an auto cannon to the face" Harwood smiled,
"To be fair sarge I think it was the main gun. All I saw was a flash and boom!"
Harwood snorted a laugh,
"You'll be alright, off to the hospital to see all those pretty nurses. Get back soon chap" he tapped the soldier on shoulder and turned as vehicles approached. A regular soldier came running over.
"Afternoon Sergeant. Bloody impressive up close your Galahad armour. Me and the lads not seen it up close before. Those Germans didn't stand a chance. Oh Sgt Clementine by the way 1st Battalion KSLI."
The sergeant offered his hand. Harwood shook it.
" Took us a while to get into the fight. As good as this armour is its very slow. You're lads seem to have handled everything thrown at them. Those horrors are not fun at all to deal with."
" we've had to many close calls with those bloody Nachtjager. Glad we got them before they landed among us. That would not have been fun. " the sergeant scratched his face as he spoke.
" No not at all. You boys did well I'll put in a word with my CO when I get back to base. We always need reliable troops for special jobs. " Harwood turned as a column of vehicles arrived.
" Thank you sergeant. Sounds good"
"Don't thank me yet, you might regret it but what we do is crucial to the war effort." The sergeant laughed and walked back to his soldiers. The base Lieutenant came over,
"Sergeant, orders came through you and your guys gotta be on those trucks. A Major Whitaker needs you with him ASAP. Apparently Professor Lange is stirring up trouble."
"Yes sir"
He signalled his squad to mount up.
Wonder what that he's up to now Harwood thought
