OOC: Not a training exercise, rather a fun NPC skirmish. I’d rather only the one or two extra Axis people joining this, no more. Thanks.
Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump! a pair of leather boots came pounding through the dirt, dry leaves and dirt being kicked up simultaneously, as the strafing legs moved swiftly and quickly across the hard terrain. Falling onto one knee and collapsing his back against a large tree, Unteroffizier Fritz sharply and heavily breathed, catching his breath. Muffling his face down into his dirty and worn tunic, he tried his hardest as to not let his breathing give away his position, he was knackered from the running and couldn’t help drawing in sharp bales of breath, as his body ached for the oxygen.
After a good moment of respelling his bloodstream with some O2, he looked back towards the way he came and flagged his arm up towards Unteroffizier Gunter who was peering out from behind a tree of his own, cautiously glancing behind himself every few seconds, looking a little paranoid. Seeing the signal from his comrade, Unteroffizier Gunter sprung up from his position and began to ferry his way across to Gero, keeping his body posture low and his legs moving quickly. As Unteroffizier Gunter made his way over, Gero leaned his body forwards, collapsing the MG42 he had leaning against his shoulder to fall against the dirt by his feet, whilst his hands made quick work on dragging up the stock-end of the gunnery, making sure the attached ammo case to the barrel was still fed into the chamber appropriately.
Feeling Unteroffizier fall down beside him heavily, panting for breath himself, Gero thumped him on the arm and pointed towards a nearby cabin he’d spotted upon his trek up towards the tree. Daniel Gunter peered over quietly and pulled a curious look towards Gero for a moment. They’d both agreed to be silent ten minutes ago and either of them hardly understood one another’s hand signals at times; Grabbing Daniel Gunter by the gruff of his collar and pushing his head down to look towards the cabin’s direction, he let out a brief and quiet “Ohh…”, before yanking himself out of Gero’s grip. The two were like brothers and acted it more than comrades at times, but Gero wasn’t so sure Daniel Gunter would miss him if he took a bullet…
Yanking the bolt upon the side of the MG42 real slowly and as quietly as he could, Unteroffizier Fritz climbed to his feet gradually and began pacing towards the small cabin, tree by tree, falling to one knee each time as he done so, before peering out to check of any patrols or on-lookers, before continuing. Unteroffizier Gunter was following behind with a tactical spacing, his body moving behind the trees also, watching Gero move, before he done so himself. It was wise to have one body moving at a time, rather than two moving figures at once. Gero must’ve neared the mark of at least sixty to seventy yards from the cabin, until he seized to move anymore, looking back for Daniel Gunter who stuck his head out from behind a tree, looking a little comical for a brief moment. Rather than flagging for the fellow Unteroffizier to come over to his position, he swooped his arm out towards the left and pointed towards his eyes, before off towards the cabin, saying; Move up the left and keep an eye out.
Gero was more towards the right flank anyhow, so if anyone came out from the front or right, he’d have them nailed. Supposedly there were German partisans hiding in the woodlands that the Germans regularly used to train in - reports of casualties had been listed as of late, due to rebellious activity coming from deep inside the woodlands. Sadly, the German trainees were loaded with blank rounds. Shells of gunpowder with no lead tips, so the most the German soldiers could do, was burn themselves from the excessive blank firing or run. The two Unteroffiziers were sent out to scout the area and they’d been hunting about for at least two hours already, but now the cabin before them held a good fortune of inhabiting some partisans who were wrecking German exercises.
Small clouds of smoke came from the narrow chimney and the windows were boarded closed, but Gero couldn’t work out one thing. Wouldn’t the partisans have a patrol? With that, a voice angrily spurted out from behind him and a young man, wielding a kitchen knife came throwing himself atop of Gero from out of the tree, knocking his MG42 from it’s supporting feet. Gero worriedly grabbed for the man’s arm holding the knife, feeling him pushing it downwards, so much so, Gero could only divert his target by twisting his wrist and feeling the knife plummet into the ground beside him. Gero’s head snapped to the side as the partisan yanked his elbow sideways with his opposing arm, knocking Gero’s helmet off from the impact, the noise of it rolling into the embankment below worried Gero more than the knife his assailant had!
Forcing his hand up against the man’s mouth, he tried to muffle the man’s aggressive snarls, knowing the young partisan was too fired up to alert his comrades. Perhaps he was the selfish type? Balling a fist, Gero thumped the man in the gut and tried to roll him over, but failed as he felt the rebel dig his knees into Gero’s thighs, trying to hold him down, but Gero couldn’t cry out for help, as it would’ve alerted the others and struggling to snuffle the man’s mouth with his hand, Gero wasn’t sure just how much longer he could take until one of them called out or broke the silence.
