Snippet #1473711

Canadien Wilderness 200 kilometer west of Edmonton.

Santiago was cold. Though having trained as a U.S army ranger he hated the cold. He slung his rifle over his back and headed down towards what was left of the Russian convoy. He and his team had been hitting convoys for the last months, in some places choking off the supplies of some Russian held towns. They had been doing well, no casualties, no prisoners, and the russians were none the wiser. They had succesfully hit and destroyed the convoy's without letting the Russians know they had been hit.
Walking up to what remained of an APC he reached down and tore dog tags of a soldier. Taking off the tag that indicated rank he threw the rest into a pile near the center of the convoy. He put the tag he had kept into his pocket, another kill to his name. Turning around he saw his men loot some of the convoy's. Turning to his second in command he said "Lieutenant Bludgeon, Tell the men to line the bodies up on the hill, gas them and prepare the snowmobiles. Load as much as you can and burn the rest."
Out of the corner of his eye he saw movement. Turning he saw a Russian soldier running in between the trees 500 meters away. He unslung his rifle and laid down setting his sights on the fleeing figure. He saw the man hide behind a tree. Sighing he thought "You shouldn't have run, you'll just die tired." Pulling the bolt back he loaded a 20mm semi-armor piercing round. Pulling the trigger he watched as the tree was blown in half, the man along with it. He got up right as Bludgeon came back.
"Sir the snowmobiles are ready along with corpses."
"Good," Pulling out a lighter he set fire to the ammunition and supplies they couldn't carry. Turning he walked to line of corpses. There was a makeshift cross made of some scraps of steel. Taking the tags, he hung them on the cross. "At least they will know who died" he thought to himself "though they wont have the bodies to prove it" Throwing the lighter on corpses he watched as the gasoline ignited, cremating the bodies.
"Alright men! Lets move out!"
Sledge and his squad drove off leaving only burning rubble and corpses in their wake.
