Major Murphy sat in his makeshift headquarters pondering his options. His company had been cut off from the battalion and was in danger of being completely eliminated. He needed a lopsided victory and needed it soon, otherwise the next engagement would be the last.
He hit upon a possible plan; put a squad into a retreat posture and hope it would draw the enemy into an ambush. It might not get them reconnected to the larger army, but it might give them some breathing room.
Corporal Walker came running into the room. “Sir! Our bombers on the horizon!”
Hope bloomed.
