New York City, U.S.A
Unknown Office Complex
Sergeant Major Jason Miller
Miller stood over the last corpse....It was a mercenary by the looks of him...German. Miller and his men had found about five of them spread out throughout and office complex. They had advanced gear and tattoos that gave evidence that they were ex GSG-9 operatives, Germany's equal to our SWAT teams. Highly trained and not easy to take out....but somebody did. The first two were killed my a booby trap, a landmine by the looks of it, too hard to tell. The next two were found about fifty feet apart from each other heading in the same direction, both shot to death. The last one had his throat slit execution style, but instead of continuing the same path the previous two had he had taken a hard right once he passed the fountain in the plaza. Forrest, the squad's core intel specialist guessed that he had been interrogated first and Miller agreed. Their weapons were gone as well as any at hand forms of identification. Miller ordered pictures to be taken of each body before they moved on. He would send it to HQ and hope they could provide some more information on the matter. Whatever it was it couldn't be good. Those five were highly skilled soldiers, that had probably been working together for years. Whoever killed them should not be dealt with lightly. Miller and his men moved on.
1330 Hours
Still no word from HQ about the dead mercenaries, it was starting to get into Miller's nerves.
He and his squad had finally reached the Russian convoy. There were an estimated 12 trucks carrying soldiers, ammo, and other supplies. 4 Hummers with .50 Cal guns on the roof, and 2 light Anti-Infantry tanks. The convoy was ahead of schedule, Miller had to rush his men to set up their ambush. Seth, good kid, was the team's local Sharpshooter. He put a silencer on his carbine and fired at the two back left tires of the middle truck. Soon the entire convoy came to a stop. Some russian officers got out of their respective vehicles and began yelling up and down the convoy. Eventually the front half of the convoy began to pull out leaving the other half behind. Not what Miller wanted. He had to stop the entire convoy. But 2 of his men hadn't gotten to their positions yet and he didn't want to risk losing them, he'd have to catch up to the rest of the convoy later. When his squad was ready Miller gave the attack order. A Javalin missle went shooting in the air, the Russians all looked up in horror and when they realized what it was they scattered like cockroaches. The missile came down hard on the tank, damaging it but not yet destroying it. Miller's squad then popped up from their cover and began firing on the Russians. The soldiers in the trucks didn't stand much of a chance. Their bullets easily tore through the tarp covering the back of the trucks and the front cabs containing the drivers. One truck that must have contained ammo erupted in a big ball of flames. The Hummers were the real trouble. their .50 Cal guns began to tear up the cover Miller's men were hiding behind. Luckily there were only 2 guns and Miller had his men spread out over 6 different locations. They would pop in and out of cover and shoot the Russians manning the guns when they had their backs turned. After the Hummers were taken care of Miller's men focused on killing the crew inside the tank. The popped the hatch and dropped an grenade into it. While they were distracted one Russian snuck into one of the Hummers and started the engine. Miller began shooting at the driver but he was protected by bullet resistant glass. There was nothing he could do as the lone Russian sped off into the distance.
"GRAB WHAT YOU CAN AND PREPARE TO MOVE OUT MEN! WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE SOME MORE COMPANY" Screamed Miller, they had to reach a defensible position soon before the rest of the convoy returned.
