Field Report: Corporal Jacub of the 3 Division, Rifle Core, West Wolf Company 1870 January 27th, was quite cold day. Snow from the earlier blazered was still planking the ground. The boys were gathering around the fire when they a woke at 0530 hour. We enjoyed our breakfast at 0600 hour, some platoons continued to enjoy their meal. Well, Henery's Platoon finished with their meal prepared to head out on first patrol. I was reading the latest issue of Speaker. When I remembered the odd movements of the Kingdom of Shieldholt report across the river. As such I requested that Captain Henery should focus on what is going on across the river. At 0656 hour, Henery and his troops were returning at a sprint. He reported across the river were five enemy companies fully packed and troops waiting. I reported their findings by a secure line with my suspension that they are waiting for rafts. Lieutenant Ranhoth of the 3 Division, Rifle Core 1870 January 27th, officers across the line have been sending warnings of enemy troops gathering. In response I requested reinforcements. And ordered the troops to form up behind the trees and bushes to not be seen, but close enough to push the enemy back. The hills were topped with artillery and marks men. At 0846 hours, high command sent a message back that explained I need to hold in case of attack for until 1600 hour. Corporal Jacub of the 3 Division, Rifle Core, West Wolf Company At 0735 hour, Lieutenant Ranhoth ordered every company to form up and prepare for an attack. Under order I took my company down near the river and dug up mounds of snow and fox holes. Captain Jonson began to watch the other side of the river. To cross the river, it would be declaration of war. At 0907 hour, the enemy carried large rafts each could carry twenty people were placed into the water. through the trees I watched the rafts being filled by enemy troops with rifles and them pushing off from the banks. they slowly crossed the river. I check my pocket watch. At 0914 hour, seven minutes of silences when the enemy finally reaches the other side. I waited until the second rafts hit the water and the enemy troops being to rush into our hidden line to give permission to shoot. A split minuet lights stabbed from the white covered woods. Enemy near our banks fall in the first shots enemies now in the woods and seeing our lines being to try and battle our line with daggers, they were cut down the next. On the other side enemy troops begin to support their guys on the rafts with gun fire. We response in the same expect for targeting the enemy rafts. For the next half hour gun fire zips across the river from both sides. Artillery support from both sides turn the calm slow river into a rapids that now prevents the rafts crossing, but the fighting continues uses. At 1104 hour, the enemy finally ends their gun fire long since disappear into the woods. The cook back at camp comes downs to the line with baskets full of simple sausage, cabbage, and onion sandwiches. They were wrapped in paper for us to eat easily and at any moment. Each man got their food but made sure only one of them ate in each group. After our short meal, a privet noticed the enemy were bring something new. We sow in horror that the enemy were sliding a pontoon bridge into the water even after we started to fire, and artillery restarted. The bridge made land fall quickly a mass of enemy troops formed and charged across the bridge. I ordered them to focus fire onto the bridge. I check my pocket watch again; it said it was 1146 hour. Each wave we cut down the enemy stops and reforms to charge again. By the sixths wave they came with rafts. It was not until 1540 hour, they stopped. I went up and down the line to check how my boys were doing. The same story exhausted, hunger, and low on ammunition. Seeing Dr. Gratfield walking back to camp I joined him with three privets. Back at camp we loaded up on ammunition by placing boxes of it on sleds. Dr. Gratfield resupplies on medicine, then help pull the sled. The timing was near perfect soon after handing out more ammunition. Enemy gun fire sprang back to life. We watched carefully to see what their plan was. Then the whistle blew the enemy rushed five more platoon bridges into the river. Four of the five bridges made contact with the other side of the river under our fire. Almost as it was a bolt of lighting, the second the bridges made contact. A wave of enemies pour down, no matter how many went down the wave continued, then bullets ringed out. Shots from behind, reinforcements came, and they started contracted fire. We held out for another hour before the enemy ended their attack. They tried to take down the bridge when leaving, but they gave up. Lieutenant tRanhoth of the 3 Division, Rifle Core The reinforcments came in just in time. Now it's our turn.
Fun Fact I had Bill Cipher Sing "We'll Meet Again" on loop, well making this.
