While all that had been going on, Tony and his SAS men weren’t sitting idly by.  As soon as the all clear had been given after the last round of claymores were set off, those in Tony’s group had opened up.  Initially, the terrorists weren’t sure where all the fire was coming from.  In time, some realized where Bruce and his group were, and—depending on their proximity to the various sites on the almost circular mound where Tony’s group was hidden—some terrorists started firing in the general direction of members of his group…without much success, since they really never knew for sure just where the shots from Tony’s group were coming from.  Tony and his SAS friends were well dug in and well camouflaged.

In time, one of the SAS troops was grazed on the outside of his neck, fortunately gouging out only meat from his neck muscle.  As he took out bandaging material and started to wrap it around his neck, the whiteness of the material was easily spotted and several shots came his way, one grazing the back on his hand.  He grumbled, “Bloody hell,” and burrowed deeper into his hidey-hole.

The situation could have become worse, but just then, one of the buggies came flying by and either killed or scattered those who had seen the white material.  By the time the next buggy was approaching, the man and his bandaging material were forgotten.

The next pass of the buggies further drove the terrorists away from any place near that side of the man’s hideout, even though by then he was back in action and firing away. 

That pass was made with Bruce manning one of the machine guns, but just as it drove by that particular spot, Bruce grumbled, “Son-of-a-bitch.  I’m totally out of ammo for this thing,” as he took out his Asp and did what damage he could.

Back at the location of the main force of Asps and SAS troops, Oscar suggested, “Bruce, I’m thinking it’s time to get Tony and his chaps out of there and pull back.  We’re getting torn up…even though we’ve sure as hell hit these bastards hard.”

Bruce joked, “Right on,” which drew a few chuckles, even as Bruce added, “Okay, buggy drivers, circle our wagons around Tony’s island.  Tony, you and your guys jump in whatever buggy you can.  We’re not coming to any full stops, just slowing down so you can jump in.”

Tony and his SAS team didn’t have to be told twice.  In less than a minute, all were in one buggy or the other, and the buggies were speeding toward where Oscar and the others were.

Seeing that, Oscar said, “Bear, we’re pulling back.  Will give you an idea of where in due time.”

Bear replied, “Right on.  We’ll set the charges in the ammo dump and head your way.  Two of your men should be getting to you soon.”

The SAS troop, told by Bear to help his wounded friend, spoke up, “We’re here…and damned sure ready to pull back.  We both took another hit getting here.  Bloody guys are popping up everywhere.”

As the buggies slowed near where Oscar stood, firing away as he had been speaking, he glanced at Sergeant Major Squires.  “Sergeant Major, I assume you have one of our lorries.  If so, where is it?  We’ll pull back in that direction.”
