CHAPTER FIFTEEN

The meeting place was, Olaf had to admit, a magnificently beautiful place. The smell of damp earth mixed with the spring’s smells of budding trees and the sharp odor of fresh water from the stream next to it.

It still made Olaf an unhappy man. It was too closed in. If an enemy force got close enough, they could easily surround it and trap whoever was in the dell.

He was glad to see that they were not the first to arrive and had been happy to send a couple of Weres out to hunt for deer to cook for the meeting. He also set teams of five to watch the most vulnerable approaches. He was still incredibly nervous about it all. His watchers were having to trust individuals from the two groups they had met at the site for identifying friendlies.

There had been worse setups in history. Indeed, partisans in World War II had often been forced to rely on radio given time/date coordination methods with groups outside their cells. At least many of the guerrillas in the region knew some of the members of several other teams.

Not all the individual guerrillas would be coming, he had since learned. Many were sending just their leaders and a small bodyguard. Others were sending single voting representatives. Oskar, the leader of the small band that had arrived first, had glared at Stasia when Olaf had first told him about his minimum requirements.

“We can easily find four hundred fighters that will be interested in your proposal. That is not an issue. The issue is convincing us you can take out the tank the bitch has up and running,” Oskar had told him. “Stasia was only talking about the unit her family leads. There are a dozen, maybe more, of a similar size in the region. Many of the representatives bring homing pigeons to these meetings. Getting a secure message for a meeting point to organize an assault on the base is not the issue. Assaulting their base past a damned tank that can incinerate any that get within a kilometer, that is the issue.”

Olaf only shrugged and answered. “I have such a weapon. I can even give a demonstration of it if necessary, but that can wait for the meeting.” He liked Oskar. An ‘older’ man of about fifty, he was five-foot-six and had a teak hardness about him. It was as if rather than being worn down by age and hardship, it had merely toughened him.

“So, you think an assault on the base is possible with my platoon leading the way?” he asked the guerrilla leader.

He had already shown those currently at the site his other form when Stasia had explained how five of his had disrupted and would have been able to take out her patrol of twenty-five. That they had managed to gain the upper hand after being ambushed.

“Not only possible, but if you can take out the tank, it’s necessary. This long struggle needs to end for the people to recover.
