Chapter 5: Christmas
24th December 1944, Belgium 5:32 am
“Merry Christmas!” Lucas said, “It’s not Christmas yet, Lucas,” Jeff corrected, a bit confused, “Well, I got presents for all of you,” Lucas said, “Same,” Everyone said in the same time, “Not saying Jinx since it’s Christmas,” Paul said.
“Yeah, let’s enjoy Christmas before we all die,” John said, “Well, better pack your presents in your bag, commander doesn’t really enjoy Christmas, since he’s making us head farther into Germany,” Paul said.
“I hate that dumb…” Jeff said but said nothing just before the Commander came in, “That dumb duck haha,” John played it off, “Yeah,” Jeff said, “Everyone ready?” Commander said and walked out before a answer.
Jeff, John, Lucas, Alex, Greg and Paul walked in the thick snow, “Are we in Germany yet?” Alex asked, “Just about one or two more miles, and we’ll be in the German border, we’ll meet others there,” Paul answered.
Jeff, John, Lucas, Alex, Greg and Paul arrived at the borders meeting americans, “Before christmas and it’s hell already,” Greg said.
“So,” Paul said coming to the team after talking to other generals, “We’ll have to wait till tanks move in this harsh weather ,” Paul added, “Wait for tanks! In this weather!” Alex yelled.
“For some reason yes,” Paul said, “Sir, A blizzard is approaching,” Paul’s intercom said, “Bad news,” Paul said, but everyone heard it already, Jeff, John, Lucas, Alex, Greg and Paul were hiding behind trees from snow touching their faces.
Some minutes into the blizzard tanks passed Jeff, John, Lucas, Alex, Greg and Paul. “Seems like we have to keep walking!” Paul yelled.
The team walked and walked and advanced through Germany until they found an old German trench, “Pretty old, Germans probably escaped as they could,” Alex said, “Looks like some Americans are resting here, we should too,” Paul said.

Jeff, John, Lucas, Alex, Greg and Paul passed their presents and each got presents from their own country, “Looks like we need to start attacking,” Paul said “The 4th Armored division is helping us advance deeper into Germany,” Paul added, “At least we don’t mostly have any ground division,” Jeff said.
Jeff, John, Lucas, Alex, Greg and Paul kept walking in the thick, deep snow, “The armored division already left, so we should leave too,” Paul said. The team walked and walked until there were trenches, full of German soldiers.
“Jeff, John, go to the right, Lucas, Alex, and Greg shoot from here, I’ll go to the left,” Paul said, Jeff and John reached the German trenches and jumped in punching and shooting, Paul then arrived to the other side of the trench.
Jeff and John were clearing any bunkers there, Jeff, John and Paul met in a bunker, “Jeff, around 10 Germans are coming here, what do we do?” Paul said, “John pick up the German machine gun, and check if they will come,” Jeff answered, Alex saw that the trenches were distracted by Jeff, John and Paul, “ATTACK!” Alex shouted, American soldiers rushed trying to get into the trenches.
The Americans did get in and killed some hundreds of Germans, Alex, Lucas and Greg ran to the bunker John was in. There was a bunch of bodies there Alex went in “John?” Alex asked, “Oh, It’s you,” Jeff said and looked with John and Paul, “Phew,” Paul said relieved.
“I guess no one died in our team on Christmas,” Alex said, the team continued in the thick snow, two teams lost their captains and both had two people left so they joined Jeff’s group, they were Jack and Leo, Neo and Elijah.
The team and the new members took two days of rest in a wiped out German bunker.

“Sir,” someone said in Paul’s intercom while they were eating, “What?” Paul asked, “Hitler halted the Germans from moving and advancing and told them to stay position,” the intercom guy said, “So they’re retreating?” Paul asked, “No, their stopping waves, roger?” the intercom guy said, “Roger,” Paul answered.
“Well, do we move up or not?” Neo asked, “Yes, we move up, but Lucas and Neo you both are medics so don’t be close to each other, just in case another medic gets shot,” Paul answered, “Another?” Neo asked, “Well, Lucas got shot some weeks ago,” Paul answered again.
“GERMANS!” A Soldier in the trenches shouted, the Team went outside and fought for weeks and weeks.

No one in the team could breathe by shooting non stop for weeks, Commander demanded that you have to get closer to, “The Germans are falling back!” A Soldier shouted, the team jumped out of the trench and followed the Germans, For three hours they ran until they killed all of them, they were next to Berlin, and lost to the other teams.
“What the hell do we do now?” Neo asked, “Wait till we see some Allied soldiers,” Paul answered, and they waited for days and days, they didn’t know where north was in the forest, and if they get out of the forest Germans would shoot instantly, so they had no choice but to wait, Paul’s intercom was broken and they waited for some months…
