CHAPTER SIX

In less than half an hour, following the death of the Lieutenant, the airborne soldiers had already started work on converting the church into a more substantial base of operations. Whereas before they had been guarding just the perimeter, they had now moved all their heavy equipment inside and were working on stacking heavy furniture so that the men could reach up to the windows to watch the open space around the church. The bodies of the Lieutenant and Martinez were in a discrete corner of the chancel. Using wood salvaged from broken up pews the men had boarded up a number of the windows, just leaving enough spaces for them to use as firing positions for when the time came. The base of the church tower had quite a narrow access point from the nave and made an ideal position from which to establish a fallback position, should the chancel and nave fall in any follow up attacks. The tower also featured a much smaller door on the western wall that gave the soldiers the equivalent of a medieval sally port if they needed to abandon the position at any point in the future. Using a series of ropes the men had pulled up some of the captured German equipment, including the prized MG42 and lots of ammunition.

Near the porch the soldiers had piled up all the heavy furniture and boxes they could find, ready to push against the doors should they need to block them at any point in the future.

Captain Scott and Sergeant Smith were busy discussing their plans with M. Poulain whilst the rest of the men continued working on the church.

Captain Scott outlined his plan;

“We need to establish five things before we can take effective action in this area. First, we need to know how many of these things are still out there. Second, we need to know how far they have spread, assuming there are more of them. Third, we need to know for sure where the source is. Fourth, we need to find any survivors and get them here, Fifth and finally, we need to work out how we can contain them and even more important, how to keep them away from our forces arriving soon.”

Sergeant Smith looked at the rough map they had drawn up. It consisted of the maps of where they had dropped in, along with with substantial markings in pen where they had encountered various groups since they landed.

“So we’ll keep the church as a forward base. I’ll take Lewis and Gardner with me and scout the German base. We’ll look for the containers and report back.”

Lance Sergeant Jones then added, “I’ll take Wilks and Clarke, we’ll search each of the locations that Monsieur Poulain has provided, we’ll also take Adrienne with us. If we hit trouble we pop a flare and then retreat back here immediately, Archer and Trent will provide overwatch and provide assistance if required.”

Captain Scott turned to M. Poulain. “How many buildings are there altogether?”

The old man checked the rough map.
