The second ambulance was coming up the road when the observation post called.
"*Depot, OP two. Infantry, north road, five hundred metres. Twenty, maybe more, and a Challenger. Can't tell if it's for us or the road.*"
Quinn came on from the obstruction. "*All stations. Prepare for contact. Medics keep loading. Nobody stops loading.*"
James went to the north fence with Finn and six of Reid's soldiers.
The British came over a rise two hundred metres off, saw the observation post and opened up. Reid's soldiers fired back. The British went to ground behind a hedge and worked their way down it toward the road, one group firing while another moved.
Then something came off the end of the hedge too fast.
A man. James lost him and found him again forty metres closer. He moved in bursts, a blur and then a man standing, a blur and then a man standing, going for the soldiers in the ditch.
Finn went over the fence.
