World War Pone: 2nd thread Nasse-Setä No.273363
Coltville-sur-Mer, a few days later.
The crew is on leave on the account of getting their shit majorly blown up; it seems to be taking a while to get supplies ashore, and your tank's engine hasn't been fixed yet.
The army has made small camps on the nearby forests, and some of the town's inns and houses have provided shelter for the command and control.
Some of the outlaying farms and warehouses were burned down by the Germanes, but the center is largely unscathed. Civilians are carefully trotting about on the streets while jeeps carry staff personnel to the sandbag-reinforced buildings.
Most of the party is in a local tavern, where the last innkeeper serves chilled (and watered-down) drinks for rations and favors.
Everyone except mr. Clear and Walter, who are on the aid station getting their wounds checked.
A voluntary nurse removes the bandages from Walter's face.
"Looks like you're in shape to return to service!"
A rather grumpy looking doctor inspects Clear's neck wound.
"It's just a scratch. I ain't givin' you no more morphine. Lousy goodfornothing ziggers…

All the boxes marked with red crosses are locked with big locks.
"Don't even think about it. Out!"
He points at the door.
>>273394

>>273404
A few corporals enter the tavern, clearly a little tipsy already.
"Oi! Aren't you the tankers from our landing? Great job clearing the mines!"
Both of them chortle annoyingly.
You can see a column of jeeps and lorries drive past the tavern, too.

It tastes more like water.
You can see there are even some Germane halftracks on the convoy passing the town.
>>273433
"Pfft, If you guys shoot like you drive, WE were better off that ya didn't!"
They keep chortling.
"Oi, barkeep, give us some booze!"
>>273446
>>273441
The ponies just snort at you.
A few more enter the tavern, including some oily and dirty engineers.
"If I get my hands on that driver…"
"Making us work day and night…"
"The damn thing exploded when I tried to start it!"

All the crates are secure and locked.
You can hear some odd scraping noises from nearby though…
>>273492
They give you a mug of "grape juice".
It tastes like shit.
Literally.
>>273495
Some private from communications shouts over his shoulder.
"That's just prisoner transport. Dunno why they're using those vehicles, but I hear they finally got some supplies ashore."
>>273497
"A-are you looking for trouble, mule?"
The larger, more drunk of the ponies goes for his holster.
>>273506
The less drunk pony looks smug as he speaks.
"We cleared the eastern bunker all by ourselves!"

Yes they are.
>>273542
Must have been nothing.
The wind among the tents.
You can see some small figures running back towards the town though.
Too far to follow or recognize.
>>273543
>>273550
The pony leaves his holster be.
"Pfft, what bad-asshes"
>>273547
"One ack-ack! One!"
Leftenant Sure Shot appears in the door.
"Are there any mechanics here? One of the cars broke down on the street. We might also need some extra muscle."
The engineers that entered the tavern flip their collars so you can't see their unit emblems and hide in a corner-table.
Yes they are.

He opens a crate labeled "grenades" on the back of one truck and hands each of you two.
"Now if the nasties in those halftracks start to get antsy, lob one in. The doors should be closed with locks so they can't get out. If they try to climb, you are allowed to shoot if your conscience can take it."
You can see the gray half-tracks have had their machine guns removed and the crosses sprayed over.
>>273584
"okay, follow me."
He leads you to a captured Germane lorry, which has it's engine exposed.
"We just can't figure what's wrong with it. It just stopped dead on it's tracks."

A sergeant with 'MP' written on his sleeve and helmet trots up to you.
"These halftracks…"
He bangs on one.
"Are full of Nazi prisoners!"
He bangs on it again.
"They are locked in there for transport. If they try to escape or rouse trouble…"
He bangs on it again.
"You throw a smoke grenade in there. That should pacify them."
>>273621
Someone's stabbed a hole in the fuel tank and the fuel gauge has been smashed. No one thought to check the car before they assumed control of it…
It's starting to get late, the sun is setting.
While you explain the fault to the leftenant you can hear the familiar sound of an air raid siren.
"What the hay?! I thought the Luftwaffle was annihilated already!"
The prisoners start banging on the doors of their prisoner carriages.
Civilians scurry for their homes and shelters.
>>273578
A crate of bandages and painkillers has been broken open, and hidden in a nearby bush.

A grumpy doctor with a captain's badge is hiding under a table in one of the tents.
"We've got bigger problems!"
Looking out, you can see a flight of maybe five or six bombers headed for the town.
>>273643
The MP nods.
>>273644
"Take cover!"
>>273659
You run under an arch leading to an alleyway.
You can hear anti-aircraft fire from the outskirts but it's not concentrated.
Soon you can also hear the first bombs hit the ground, far away from your convoy but getting closer.
>>273666
the grenade hits the side of a truck and bounces at your feet, exploding with a small blast. It throws you off balance and you fall on the street.
You can see figures climbing out of one of the halftracks.
"Achtung schütze! Angrief! Angrief!"
You can hear somepony hit somepony, and soon some fire.
Then a thud.
The rest of the prisoners are also climbing out of their halftracks. The military police quickly draws his pistol and fires onto the group, only to get swarmed.

You are farthest away from the action.
A young looking medic is in the medical center, starting up a jeep loaded with supplies.
"Hop in! We need to check on the wounded!"
>>273685
You lob a grenade on the street, effectively provinding the Germanes with cover as they hide themselves between cars and alleys.
You can hear constant gunshots.
And the bombs are still getting closer, 2 turns until they are on top of you.
>>273688
You climb up as >>273695 fires blindly into the smoke.
"Aaaah! Sani! Hilfe!"
>>273696
You hit one square on the head, causing him to slump on the ground and drop a stolen rifle.
You are on the "tavern" side of the convoy, meaning the Germanes are closer to the end of it. They are trying to make it there and steal a car to run away.
about 20 of them are slowly making their way, a few cars at a time. It will take them four turns to get to the end.
They are pulling a wounded comrade with them, slowing them down.
It seems they have managed to kill a few guards, as some of them are armed with weapons and others with knives.

The bombs get ever closer. You can even see some rock flying onto the street already. The Germanes advance up the convoy, though they are rapidly thinned by the armed guards on their way.
>>273724
You throw another smoke bomb, allowing the nazis to escape a turn faster: only 2 remain.
>>273728
>>273732
You both reap some more nasties, receiving only light return fire.
The ponies lying on the street are already dead or beyond help.
>>273723
You drive overspeed to the eastern section of the town, which was hit first. You can see an undetonated bomb in the middle of a street in a crater, causing the young pony to almost top the car over.
He hops off and runs down the street.
"Try to look for civilians! I'm checking the officer's mess!"
You can see a young Prance mare wobbling on the street.
You have all the supplies you could need, so you get +1 to treating ponies.
>>273746
You fire the weapon out of his hooves, and a guard quickly knocks him unconscious.
The bombing will be upon you next turn.

"Down! Down! Don't stay in the wine room, the bottles might explode!"
>>273769
She wobbles to you.
"Zank you, but I think…"
A trail of blood runs down her face.
"merde"
She falls over.
>>273764
You lob a grenade under a truck, which explodes and kills some Germanes.
Since most of the soldiers are running away, the Germanes have basically a free pass to the trucks and quickly start driving down the street.
Their escape is aided by the bombardment that just hits this area.

Everypony is in the basement as the bombs drop. You can hear the thuds and see the light flicker.
After some long agonizing minutes the leftenant deems it safe to return topside.
"Okay, every soldier, follow me!"
>>273799
Okay. There's a piece of shrapnel in her scalp. You remove it and sterilize the wound.
She must have gotten a blow to the head from something for being so dizzy. You lay her down on a blanket you got from the jeep and check that she's breathing. Okay. Whew. She should be fine when she wakes up. You leave a bottle of painkillers next to the blanket in case.

>>273849
You follow the leftenant out. You're greeted by a sad sight: The town's clock tower was demolished and it fell on the street. The convoy is one black, mangled, smoking wreck. Bodies litter the street after the prisoners escaped.
You can also see Shifty limp on the street. >>273850
"Damn! What the hay was wrong with our anti-aircraft?! Where was the air force?"
>>273858
The houses (those that aren't demolished) are empty, thankfully. Families appear on the streets from their shelters. Some foals are crying, and everyone is looking dirty. You mend some cuts and bruises, but nothing major.
The young pony however returns carrying a large pony. He looks like a major.
The medic offers you a grim smile.
"I guess…people are gonna get promoted soon. C'mon, help me with this 'un."

After a bit of searching you find a jeep still intact, hidden in an alley.
You find a garterbelt on the back seat.
>>273985
You're pretty sure she will.

She gives you a hug.

She gives you a weak smile.
You can't see anyone else in need of assistance right now.
Well except for maybe clearing their houses but you're sure the other guys will handle that.
>>282821
You all get in on the jeep and drive off.
You quickly pass the green fields and the khaki tents of the medical staff and drive down on the sandy beach, where they're just continuing to offload supplies, ponies, and vehicles.
A rather tired looking staff sergeant holding a writing board in his magic grip walks up to your jeep.
" 'lo guys. What can I help you with?"

"Roger that."
Taking a quick headcount, I realize we're missing our Driver.
"Ah, dammit."
Remembering the medical tents we passed, I get the feeling that would be a good place to start looking for her.
"Seems we're missing our driver. You want me to call you in a relief while I go back into town and look for her, Sergeant?"

Clean can feel that the engineers are just 200 meters away, the view to their camp is blocked by a rock jutting out of the sandy beach.

You hop on the jeep.
