The Cold War was going to eventually become a Hot War. Little did many know it was to be on our soil….
Helena has been under Soviet control for little more than a year now, and it has changed drastically since peacetime. Being on the Mississippi River and less than a hundred miles from the war-torn city of Memphis, the Commies have been using the town for a supply hub to continue to the assault on the Free American-controlled metropolis. Our local resistance has watched the troops in the area increase over 85% since Helena’s capture, making it one of our most important enemy strongholds in the nation.
The wooded roads that lead to the docks are where they are most vulnerable, and today we are about to prove that.
Yesterday we got news from an insider at the Soviet District Command in Helena that some 20 Soviet R-17 Elbrus’ were to be landed at the local port on Wednesday and would take one of the wooded roads on their trip to West Memphis, where they would possibly launch strikes on the Free American controlled east side of the Mississippi, turning the tide in the crucial Battle of Memphis. If we could ambush a checkpoint, pose as the guards, and possibly figure out a way to plant explosives on the vehicles, we could save Memphis from falling into Communist hands and prevent the American “River Line” from faltering.
Jessica, David, and I quickly grabbed everything we needed from the hideout. We then set off towards the nearest Soviet checkpoint with about five other resistance members. We all quietly positioned ourselves behind some trees on the edge of the road. The shade proved to be to our advantage.
I waited for the signal to be given.
The Russians never saw us coming….
I took out the guard who was in the open with my M16 first as the rest of the group opened fire. David ran to flank the small checkpoint defense, where a guard, scared out of his mind at what was happening, saw him and readied his AK. With the Soviet distracted, Jessica readied her pistol and shot five times at the Commie, eliminating the threat. By the time the shooting was over, 8 Soviet soldiers and a guard dog lay dead in the street.
Now comes the hard part….
