[Play video]

Video begins with SSG. Bubu's helmet cam footage that began recording while riding with his squad on their daily routine perimeter patrol using the GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle for quick and light mobility, it's just a normal day for everyone then as usual they went to a village nearby which they have formed a good relationship between G&K/American PMCs/Rangers and the villagers, they promised to cooperate as long as they provided protection. Commander Gentiane is happy about it and gave the Rangers the clearance to do so and provided protection from any hostile faction ranging from bandits to Sangvis dolls. As they patrol around the village for a bit one of the villagers stopped them and wanted to talk with the squad leader, SSG. Bubu agreed and gave the order to his squad to dismount and form a perimeter security while he and the villager would make a chit chat.

"Is there something wrong Mr. Codrin?" SSG. Bubu asked the man wearing a dark brown coat, they visited this town countless of times, so they know most of the villagers' identities

The man in question cleared his throat and began to speak "I have something important to report on, lately at night we've been hearing loud gunfire and explosions just over to the west 5 miles from here some rumors suggested that there may have been a makeshift NATO camp setup there almost a decade now and we don't know why though but the real concern is that Sangvis may want to setup an outpost there in attempt to strike close to your base and unfortunately may have to get through to us since we have the road that leads straight to your base, the villagers are very anxious what would happen next which is why I approached you and your men to investigate it."

Bubu was silent for a bit trying to think about his decisions before answering "Okay Mr. Codrin, we'll report this to command and once we get the clearance we'll be out to investigate it."

Mr Codrin is relieved about the Staff Sergeant's words as the squad leader then made his way to the squad's vehicle and report to command

"Avelon actual this is Avelon 3-2, we have a report of a NATO camp being occupied by Sangvis forces and may want to set up a forward operating base there to stage their attacks. Requesting permission to launch an investigation to confirm, over." the radio is silent for a moment before the Captain gave them the go-ahead. "Copy, 3-2, you are cleared for investigation but fallback if you think you can't handle it and we'll send some reinforcements, understood?" the Staff Sergeant nodded and replied: "Yes sir, we'll get it done." he and his squad mounted up to the vehicle and followed the map marked by Mr. Codrin.

The squad in the vehicle talked about the topic regarding about the report.

"A NATO camp here? So there were other forces deployed deep behind enemy lines then?"

"I heard about that prior to the offensive to the Fulda Gap, it's a mission that involves dropping Special Forces and Paratroopers behind enemy lines and disrupting them."

"Wouldn't this place be too deep to disrupt the Soviets?"

"Romania has a large oil reservoir and other important shit for the Neo-Soviet war effort and if they were able to sabotage that then the Russians would have a massive impact on fuel in the south giving us a bit of room to breathe. Of course, you don't just bypass a country, you fight it to grab more territory and ensure the security of your supply lines. Basic stuff, Mahonie."

The Staff Sergeant grew concerned and quite curious about how one of his men knew a lot of detail knowing that the mission would've been classified, "Where did you get the info from, Mosie?"

"Officers that planned this forgot to shut the door and I managed to hear most of the mission details but I didn't spread the info because I don't want to get court-martialed." explained the Ranger

"Alright then."

"What do you think Grand is cooking?" another Ranger, the driver of the vehicle wondered

"I think he's going to be cooking beef, I'm not sure"

"I hope it's grilled steak" then everyone was silent for the rest of the journey

It's a short ride considering they used a vehicle although they had to stop and leave their vehicle on the side of the road just 2 kilometres left as they do not want to alert the enemy about their presence.

"All right squad - tactical column into the forest, let's go." the squad formed up around their leader and began moving into the forest. So far all they can see is dirt, grass and trees all around them, no threats yet. More minutes of walking later they noticed a Sangvis patrol and immediately dispersed and prone for concealment. "I'm gonna report to actual just keep an eye on those bolt heads and do not fire, I do not want to draw attention this early, got it?" his squadmates nodded as he gets on with his headset, "Actual this is Avelon 3-2 we have confirmed the NATO camp with Sangvis activity: Ripper, Vespid and Dinergate models, they're about platoon sized running patrols all around and we're just about 50 meters away and they haven't spotted us yet, permission to take it out? We have the firepower to beat them back."

"Roger but let me repeat this; if you can't handle the situation then I advise you to pull back and await reinforcements, you copy?"

"Roger, I copy, 3-2 out." the squad leader then cuts comms off from their company commander

"This is a camp?" a Ranger said

"For a camp, I expected tents, not wooden shacks in the woods," another Ranger squad member said after looking at multiple small wooden put-together houses

"What's the plan, Sarge?" a Corporal asked

"We're gonna crawl up till we get close enough." Bubu simply said "Specialist Seth?" he called his Marksman

"Sir?"

"Find a good position and provide overwatch and once you found a good position report back to me but do not fire till I give the word, got it?"

"Affirmative" the Marksman with his Armalite Super SASS DMR that he got from the armoury nodded

"Alright go" the Marksman crawled away from them to find a good spot to set up overwatch, the squad leader looked at his squad as he begins to discuss their next move "Once we get close I want a base of fire fireteam to provide suppressive fire while the manoeuvre team assaults and break through their lines and exploit them then once they made a breakthrough they will then provide cover fire for the sister fireteam, we begin the attack once the Specialist take down one of the sentries while simultaneously launching 40 mike mike to cause more damage towards them after that you kill every single one of them and maybe look for survivors if they're hiding, got it everyone? Alright, let's go."

Everyone began to slowly crawl and creep up closer and closer towards the Sangvis-occupied camp, so far so good but as they get closer they had to stop whenever a patrol passed by assuming these dolls don't have high end night vision unlike probably ringleader models.

"Sarge, I'm in position" Staff Sergeant Bubu heard the familiar voice of his Marksman through his headset "Copy standby, we're almost in position." whispered the Sergeant in reply as they finally made it close enough for the attack "Alright we're in position, standby." his two squad rifle grenadiers equipped their M320 grenade launcher although the other just put the safety off of his M203 under barreled grenade launcher from his SOPMOD II.

"Ready"

"Ready"

Both grenadiers are ready and are both waiting for his word

"Sergeant Brody, is Bravo team ready?"

"Yes sir waiting for your go"

"Sergeant Nowak?"

"Alpha's set, Staff Sergeant."

"Seth get ready on my go in 3...2..."

The Marksman got eyes on a Sangvis Vespid and held his breath and his finger slowly slipped into the trigger guard and touched the trigger

"...1...fire!"

The Marksman exhaled and squeezed the trigger sending a round down range and landing a perfect headshot on the Sangvis Doll while the two rifle grenadiers fired their grenade launchers and caused devastating damage and took out a few dolls while Bravo team opened up and began their suppression

"Alpha team move!" the assault team moved forward and broke through the camp as planned while their squad leader guides them on what to do next

"That's right Bravo keep pouring it in on them, let 'em have it! Alpha status?"

"We broke through Staff Sergeant but we're taking heavy enemy fire, we're fighting back but there's a lot of them, over."

"Copy that keep them busy, I'm moving Bravo with you now." He signalled Bravo fireteam to push forward

"Let's move it Bravo, let's go! Let's go!"

Bravo team picked their asses up and entered the camp and set up just a few feet away from Alpha, their grenadier as he slides into a piece of cover launched a grenade from his 40mm to give Alpha some breathing room

"Good shot Taylors keep it up!" complimented his fireteam leader and keeps it up

"Alpha team this is Bravo, try flanking around those androids, we'll provide you some covering fire." said the Bravo fireteam leader

"Roger that Bravo, we'll do it." SGT. Nowak looked at his team quickly "Hey! Bravo is going to be providing suppressive fire while we manoeuvre and flank around the enemy and take 'em out, ready?"

"Yes Sergeant/Sarge!" they replied to him

"On three..." his teammates prepared to move out "Go!"

"Suppressive!" Bravo fireteam let their guns sing as Alpha fire team made a break for it and broke contact and flanks around the entrenched Sangvis positions by sneaking behind the shacks as they managed to flank them, Sgt. Nowak spotted 2 Vespids and 2 Ripper dolls getting pinned down and shot, he looked at his fireteam and hand signals them to throw frag grenades, his team then put their rifles on their chests and let their slings hang off from them and pulled out their M67 frag grenades from their pouches and tossed some frags at them while the Sangvis dolls were completely unaware about it and were blown up to pieces.

A few moments later SSG. Bubu joins up with Bravo whose team leader filled in the details about their progress and the Staff Sergeant is very satisfied with the progress so far.

"Good work keep it up, boys and we'll be back in time for lunch"

20 minutes of fighting later the Sangvis dolls are almost wiped out from the camp and decided to high tail it and retreat

"They're pulling back, fucking pussies" said the squad machine gunner from Bravo team

"Alright, ceasefire! Check your weapons and ammo and search this place for anything." the Rangers gathered up and split into two-man groups and began their house-to-house clearing which took them 15 more minutes to sweep the entire place.

"Alright looks like there's nothing else here, I'll tell the Captain that this place has been swept-" the Staff Sergeant paused for something

"Is everything alright, Staff Sarn't?" the Staff Sergeant hushed the Private and listened...

...and listened

And listened.......

"...Hey! Help us!" a faint voice said

"I hear voices find them they could be the survivors" the squad nodded and put on their Ops-Core helmets and followed the direction of the voice

"Where are you?"

[Inaudible]

"Where are you? Tell us your location!" Specialist Mosie said

"[Faintly] We're in the basement!"

"Where?" Mosie asked as he and his battle buddy searched desperately

"Mosie over here!" Specialist Taylors pointed out a small hole underneath one of the lodges

"Thank God you found us!" said the soldier who sounded relieved. "We thought we were done for."

"We gonna get you out, okay? Taylors stay here, I'll get the others."

"Okay" Taylors nodded as Mosie ran off to get the others

Meanwhile, the Staff Sergeant just finished sweeping another shack for the second time "Alright it's clear here"

"Staff Sergeant! We got survivors here, we needed help" Mosie said

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" the Ranger squad returned to the shack where Taylors is there waiting for them

"I checked the interior and the entire roof collapsed on top of the hatch and they couldn't get out" explained Taylors as the Staff Sergeant examined the debris

"It's not too bad, we have enough to clear them out, so... let's get to work."

"Hooah!" they cried as they began to clear the debris one by one with teamwork and by the end they opened up the hatch and several soldiers climbed out who looked like they'd seen better days.

"Jesus Christ..." muttered one of the Rangers due to the state of these soldiers that they just rescued

"We thought we were forgotten..." said one of the American soldiers

"What's your unit?" asked Mosie

"Airborne, 82nd, I'm the only one left standing as the 82nd, we also picked up a Green Beret, a Marine Raider and a Para Jumper," said the American

"What's a PJ doing here?"

"We needed more Medics in the field so the Air Force transferred some PJs with us before the jump." explained the trooper "We also picked up these Brits from the Royal Marines, a few SAS troopers and a guy from the 1st Paras if it weren't for those SOF guys, we wouldn't have made it to where we are." he pointed out to the 10 British servicemen "Those outfits look like you're from the Rangers, did we win the war?" he asked which is a topic that the Rangers aren't too comfortable to be talking about

"...It's a long story...for another time but listen what matters is this camp has been liberated, we're facing a new dangerous enemy which is Sangvis Ferri which that name should be more familiar for you guys and we're collaborating with a PMC called 'Griffin & Kryuger' or G&K to stomp these things to the ground and put an end to their mission of killing all of humanity." the Staff Sergeant said to the American paratrooper

"You won't be getting out and be repatriated since the entire zone is under G&K and Ranger control." added another Ranger

"What? Why is that a problem?" asked one of the Royal Marines

"The problem is we don't have any running planes that could get you out and the Ruskies aren't too keen on getting you all out yet, so you're stuck with us." the Ranger said

"I'm gonna call in an extraction for you guys and then we'll return to base, so stay here." the squad leader went out of the shack and contacted actual, "Actual this is 3-2, we have confirmed survivors and the Sangvis threat has retreated requesting an extraction vehicle, over."

"Copy 3-2 we got a Stryker already on their way callsign: Dragon 1, how copy, over"

"Roger good copy, over and out."

After some waiting, the Stryker arrived and began loading up the survivors

"Actual this is Dragon 1, all survivors are accounted for and we will now return to base, out." the Stryker made a U-turn and began driving home and the squad made their way back to their vehicle

"Alright that was fine shit you guys did back there good fucking job, everyone" the Staff Sergeant complimented everyone and everyone was joyful as they were boarding the vehicle they heard some bushes making noise which they immediately pointed their guns at and prepared to light the living shit at whatever is in it until...

...A Dinergate popped out which kinda startled everyone and just as one of the Rangers was about to shoot it Specialist Mosie intervened, "Wait, wait. This one is harmless." he said as pointed out that the Dinergate's top gun was destroyed probably due to the recent firefight with Sangvis

"Look at it," he said as he tries to approach the Dinergate but it was backing off from him slowly and was shaking a little "It looks like it's a scared puppy."

"If you think you wanna take it home, I'll allow it but make sure to send it to the tech team to get it examined, so whatever the hell this thing is carrying it won't affect us and the Tac Dolls we have at the base." the Staff Sergeant groaned as he has more to fill out regarding the fact that they took a Sangvis doll home with them

"Yes, Sarn't. C'mon buddy." Mosie in a caring tone slowly picked up the Dinergate and boarded the vehicle with the Dinergate in his arms then everyone boarded their ISV and returned to the village and reported back to Mr. Codrin, who thanked them for their help and congratulated them with a couple of cases of beer before setting off back to base.
