The two hatches on each Abrams popped open. The men coming out opf the left hatches the 50 caliber machine guns mounted on their tanks and opened up on another helicopter quickly bringing it down. The men coming out of the right hatches had M249s and started running towards Ray's forces. The one got hit a dozen times by a spray of bullets. The other did a baseball slide into the area where the friendly forces were holding out. He slid in right next to Ray and yelled over the roar of the cannon fire. "Damn! This is a crazy firefight! How did your team get into this?!" A shot hit the snow near his head. "Holy crap! They have snipers?!" He rolled onto his back and open fired in the direction of the sniper. He looked over to Ray after he finished firing and said "I'm Major John by the way. Where is your team leader?"
