McMillan looked on as his commander came under heavy fire and scooted about the battlefield returning fire when he had the chance, oddly enough the Germans had not tried to run their heavy vehicles down their throats. Well it's their mistake and I'm gonna take advantage of that before it is too late. He thought as he and Wiseman ducked into the building where the rest of the squad was waiting for orders.
"Well men, the Germans didn't feel the need to cross the bridge and have instead backed up and seem to have set up on the north side of the river. I don't know why but I do know that we have a very small window to try and pull off something that may turn out to be a grave mistake. You four, once I get out the door exit the far side of this building and get to the river bank, once Wiseman, Fox and I start firing on that Half-Track, get across that little river as fast as you can. We have a chance to flank them and I want it done thirty seconds ago, got it?!" He looked about his men and saw some of them having blank stares some shook a bit and a few just wiped away the sweat and waited to get it done. "Their vehicles should keep you out of their sight, we will do our best to keep that gunner occupied." They all acknowledged the order by nodding or getting up or something along those lines. McMillan turned to Wiseman and nodded. Wiseman and Fox jumped up and bolted out the door, McMillan following closely behind them.
The other men all looked at each other and then turned without saying a word, they knew it was a risky move but they also knew that they were at a disadvantage and had to get the upper hand as quickly as possible. they sprinted as if the boat home was waiting for them at the river bank, but got close to the rocks and hit the dirt. Barely having enough time for two breaths They heard McMillan's MP44 open up first, followed soon by a pair of Lee-Enfields, they slid into the river trying their best to not draw any attention from the gunner and swam toward the opposite bank of the river. They had all left their boots and packs in the building, most of them had taken off their shirts as well, all they hoped to need was ammunition and their weapons, so that is all they took, and a few canteens.
McMillan slid to a stop just short of the small fountain wall, to his right he could see Fox leaning against a tree, checking his chamber so he knew he was ready to fire. McMillan, staying on one knee, shifted his weight a bit forward to keep the recoil low and set his sights onto the roof of the vehicle, slowly raising them to align with the lowest button of the gunner's uniform he could see and slowly squeezed the trigger, keeping his assault rifle tucked tightly into his shoulder. McMillan let out a quick burst of five rounds, Wiseman was the next to shoot. McMillan brought his sights back onto the gunner and let three more rounds lose as Fox fired his shot. Fox wasn't going to fire again, he was the most exposed and didn't want any attention. Wiseman fired a second round and ducked back behind the fountain before chambering another round. McMillan then just kept firing bursts in the direction of the vehicle, not aiming at much in particular, just trying to keep them from noticing the rest of his men. When his magazine was empty he ducked behind the fountain as well and reloaded.
