Chapter Ten

Movement from the camp was slow at best. The new members were very weak from starvation and had to move slowly and rest often. Mike didn’t mind the slow travel and long rest periods one bit, if anything it gave him more time to plan ahead with the militia’s leadership. Tim had not only learned Mike’s training and tactics faster than expected but had already begun to add his experience into the militia’s training and planning. Mike could already tell that the old marine would be an essential part of this army’s success from here on out.

Rick and his scouts were sent ahead of the slow moving main element to create a safe path of travel and to clear out any enemy forces before the rest of the militia had reached them. Just as Mike had known he would, Rick had become exactly what the scout platoon needed in a leader. Rick’s orders were too quickly, and quietly kill all non American forces that his element was able to find. As always, Rick knew to eliminate any trace of their presence after the objective was completed.

It wasn’t long before Rick’s scouts and snipers had reached the border of Washington. As expected there was another checkpoint along the main highway right on the border. This objective was larger than the others, Rick guessed due to the original laws set in place that required a passport for interstate travel. For the next two days and nights Rick had scout teams watch this interstate checkpoint taking note of enemy numbers, routines, and level of alertness. Not surprising was that the Chinese at this checkpoint were hardly alert at all. With travel having been stopped by mandatory placement inside of the work camps, these soldiers paid little attention to the roads, rarely carried their weapons, and were regularly drinking alcohol. They rotated in and out of the checkpoint from a large house about a tenth of a mile into the state of Washington using random civilian vehicles, placed their weapons in the guard shack and immediately took to joking around and even sleeping on post at times.

After two days of watching the enemy Rick knew it was safe to take out the border post and then move up to the guard house. Under the cover of night two sniper teams were sent to predestinated shooting points and took out the two guards exactly half an hour after the Chinese soldiers had taken their post. While these snipers were setting up and taking their shots Rick led the rest of the platoon to their last covered and concealed position outside of the home their enemies were using as quarters. Once the two guards who had just been relieved returned and entered the house Rick waited ten more minutes to send his scouts up as tactical assault teams.

Two teams of five men moved up to the house while the rest of the platoon (minus 3 soldiers sent to shut of power to the hours) kept their weapons trained on the second story windows from their last hidden position.
