Chapter 6: Chapter-6
After 5 minutes of trotting toward the door where the sound of gunfire was heard we found ourselves with the corps of at least fifteen of members of the Black Sun mercenary's and a couple of our own, the difference was the cause of the death, the Black Sun had various bullet holes in their bodies while our own only had a blasters impact in vital parts, but we had more wounds than them.
That is something that I thought them from the first moment alongside how to shoot, a blaster impact was not like a bullet, a blaster impact in a vital part of the body was certain death so if they couldn't avoid it they should make sure that it hit a non vital part.
Looking at the body's I notice that most of them were armed with blaster pistols and little to no protection, meanning this was more of a test than a full scale attack and with that in mind I started to bark orders to the people in front of me.
"Everyone divide yourselves in squads of five, take residence in key parts near the walls and the door, also don't expose our aces yet, this first attack was little more than a test to our defenses, move the wounded to makeshift hospital near the townsquare, there they would do their best to patch them up. Also cover the post of the wounded, up the vigilance from this moment on, and move the specialized shooter to the hunting positions, anything that it isn't one of us is to be shoot on sight. No w move"
And with that a long afternoon ad later night began, the shift constantly changing to try to keep the most people fresh, and finally the afternoon of the next day we saw action again. A few Zephyr-G Swoop Bike and a couple of Ubrikkian Sail Barge came from the sea of dune in the horizon promping the sounding of the sirens once again but this time the speederbikes separated from the group to circle around the town within a safe distance likely searching of any kind of opening. It didn't take a genius to notice that the most weak point was the door, due to their makeshift nature and materials. After a couple more circle they return to the Ubrikkian Sail Barge, likely to inform of their findings. Not even an hour later a human made its way toward the door only to be stop by a bullet impact right in front of him.
"Nice marksmanship, the Blace Sun could use men like you, so why don't you surrender your weapons and we spared ourselves a bloodbath, you know it deep inside of yourselves, you have no chance of escaping death if you oppose us"
Meanwhile in the walls I asked Thomas for his rifle.
"Thomas give your gun, and go to the storehouse alongside you, you and you, bring here the content of the crates mark as M and L, you will need speeder so take them to transport the good"
Without saying anything I keep listening to the rumblings of a soon to be death men, and right after he finish a bullet left the muzzle of the M1903 rifle hitting the forehead of the gangster.
"Ignore their promise if they break through there will be nothing but death and screams, some of you had already see it andthose of you who don't, you will if they manage to pass inside. Now I want 10 men in down there ready for anything if they manage to pass. Understood?"
"Yes, right away"
While my people began to move to maximize our defenses the mercenarys did not take very well the death of one of them, I could see through the binoculars that the majority where human, but there where also rodians, niktos and a couple of gamorreans in the biggest ship, certainly this time they didn't take back any punch at all, they're completely ready to destroy us. The assault has now began, the speeders began circling us while shooting and a couple of fools even try to get close to the doors to throw thermal detonator, in other word very potent grenades, to try and destroy the doors. This continius assault started to take a toll on us due to the shortage of ammunition clips, we started inflicting heavy casualties but now that we were low in ammunition the density of fire had dicrease which they of course used to their advantage, and we had to resort to strategic shots, forget about that at 50 meters, target the one aproaching the gate, and thing like that. The second assault lasted for a couple of hours and ended in their retreat.
"How many do you think we have killed?"
"No idea but at least over 50 in total, that's for sure"
"Don't get complacent, this has only began and it will keep getting harder"
Finally a speeder was heard from the rear aproaching our position, in it where the people that I sent for the crates. Stepping down a roof I reach the places where the crates where.
"If I can ask, what's in the crate instructor"
"Two different types of weapons, in the L crates there are Lewis Ligth machine gun, an air-cooled, gas-operated machine gun developed during the early 20th century of my world. It has seen two world wars. It chambered the same ammunition as the Browning 1917 and the M1903 rifle, the .30-06 Springfield. This here is the weapons tambor, it has 47 bullets and we will place these four in differents sites, these two will cover the door from the roofs parallel to the doors and the other two will go to the east and west watchtower to increase their firepower. As for the M crates, we will mounted them now but not used them, let them get more confident as the lose men trying to destroy the door, and then we will see who laugh last. Every take also a pouch of Stielhandgranate grenades to each spot for the defense, we will also used the grenades when they launch their definitive assault. Till then be ready and replenished your ammunition as well as that of the buckets in the walls"
