Captain Sampson’s com crackled to life as Beall’s
voice shattered the silence. “Cap, those tanks
are drifting a little close to us, you want me to
shoo them away?”
“I’ll take care of it Beall. You get all the navigation
points downloaded yet?”
“Last one fi nishing up. Hey Cap, I have some
aircraft inbound that are not listed as part of this
exercise.”
Sampson punched up a screen and looked at the
target track. “No idea Beall, probably another
exercise. Anyway, I’m going to track south of
here and…”
The hypersonic fl urry of gatling gauss rounds
tore into several tanks in the armor column,
destroying the lead tank and bringing the
column to a halt. Appearing to shoot wildly
into the air, the defensive fi re computers of the
stricken tanks attempted to acquire their target.
Sampson looked up and caught a glimpse of
two Ghasts in the predawn night, as they pulled
up from their strafi ng run. All four Specters in
Sampson’s section were already locking targets
as their automatic defensive AA fi red several
Type 77h missiles skyward. The Specters’ salvos
made short work of one of the Ghasts while the
other turned away heavily damaged.
Suddenly the bright light of several massive
bomb explosions illuminated the predawn night.
Sampson and Beall watched in horror as a tank,
lifted by one of the explosions, landed on top
of Angel Wing and crushed its cockpit. Sampson
swung his CAV around and moved off the road
as Beall and the wizzos of Embreago and Second
Stringer simultaneously began jamming their
electronic signatures.
Breaking the eerie post blast silence, Beall’s
excited voice fi lled Sampson’s headset. “Cap,
iv
you’re our section commander now. That armor
to our left is forming up on us and wants to know
what we are going to do. I have a drop ship and
two transport signatures in our area. We have a
total of twenty-four target tracks and four have
been identifi ed. We have eight unknown target
tracks inbound. No IFF emissions.”
“Beall, tell them to form up behind us and
provide ECM support. Also, get me on the
Company and Battalion communication Nets, I
can’t bring them up.”
Beall reacted instinctively in his electronic world
tapping and looked for a positive connection.
“No luck Cap; we are alone here. I now also
show two recovery vehicles on their way, but
