《Sonata Jackson: The journey of a female soldier》Chapter Twenty: Defending Charlie Base

January 3rd, 2004
Sonata was in Dilimore reading a newspaper while eating scrambled eggs, hardwood bacon, and toast with a cup of black coffee.
Sonata's eyes widen when it says that "LITTLE BIRD NAVY CRUISER "NEPTUNE" OFF THE COST OF SPARITY ISLAND! WAR DECLARED ON 'NAM!"
Here we go again! Sonata thought, Another war in Vietnam!
The two twenty-six-year-old women just watched the news every night and not even a few weeks after war was declared the news reported the capture of Ho Chin Mihn city.
***
March 14th, 2005
Charlie Base, Dak Lak province, Vietnam.
Sonata got off a C-181 transport plane but she shielded her eyes from the morning sunrise.
There was a Walter Jeep Mk 3 (M151 jeep) waiting for her with two Little Birden Marines waiting for her just sitting inside of the vehicle.
"Sergeant," said a young caucasian male, "Welcome to the modern Alamo. Alright step on it,"
The other marine started to drive around the camp.
"Two months ago the IA and the LBMC created a specialized marine squad," said the young soldier, "We're somewhat of a free willing unit but we get the job done though. I've heard of you Sergeant Sonata/ You've worked with one of my cousins on several occasions,"
Sonata replied, "You can't have a free will unit! A free willing unit shouldn't exist! Because free willing units usually make decisions that shouldn't be made!"
There were explosions and the base was under attack and the jeep crashed but Sonata was thrown out when the jeep made a sharp turn.
The young caucasian soldier she was talking to ran over to her and he placed her on his back and carried her to an underground bunker area where she got off of his back.
"Come on Fireteam Harmony!" said the young caucasian soldier
Sonata went with them due to she's been assigned to them for this mission well Sonata doesn't know the mission besides where they're supposed to go to the 17th parallel. But Charlie Base is under attack and they're not leaving until they repel the attack.

They ran out into the trenches and fired at the advancing enemy.
Sonata stayed with them and fired her X16 rifle but when they moved she had to stay with them. But while going through the trench an APC fell into the trench where Sonata had to climb underneath it and the young caucasian male pulled her and before she could stand up the rest of the APC fell into the trench blocking their way back.
"Sergeant Sonata come on!" said the young caucasian male Sgt, "You don't want to be left behind!"
Sonata followed him and they went to a little fortified place that's facing north-northeast.
"Pvt Skybolt deploy here!" ordered the young caucasian male Sgt, "You'll have a good firing position and good cover!"
This 'Private Skybolt' went to a position and deployed the bipod on his M241 General Purporse Machine Gun but Sonata went next to him but she's between Private Skybolt a mixed soldier and a 'Private Hartstock' with a M81 DMR. To Sonata they're both cute looking but in her mind they look like that they're seventeen maybe eighteen if lucky-ish nineteen.
Sonata then heard the Sergeant say "VA-03 Skyraider. Drop your payload thirty meters from grid coordinates 3424214. Repeat VA-03 Skyraider. Drop your payload thirty meters from grid coordinates 3424214!"
The pilot replied, "WILCO. We'll be there ETA Forty Seconds!"
Damn the three of them are cute, Sonata thought, Hopefully, one of them is the type of man I'm looking for to give their sperm to impregnate me. But I hardly know them but hope they're the right fit. I'm tired of looking for the right man to give me & Julia a child!
Sonata saw the Assault team having a CT759 (Counter-Terrorist 1975 9mm aka an MP5A3), a Semiautomat Service Garand (M14 Battle Rifle), and an MP50 (updated MP40). The Base of Fire Team has an Automat Service Garand (M14E2), two X16's, and Special Carbine (G36C), and the Machine Gun/Anti-Armor team has an M241 GPMG, an M83 DMR, and X16/2 M053 40mm grenade launcher.

Sonata picked up an Anti-Armor launcher and fired it when an enemy tank appeared and she blew the tank sky-high.
A squadron of Little Bird Navy multirole jets flew over and dropped napalm and bombs on the enemy, But the squad including Sonata went to another part of the base.
"Hey Cpl. Mirabella!" said the young caucasian Sgt, "Give us some covering fire!"
Cpl. Mirabella used the .50 Cal HMG on her APC and gave Sonata and the squad covering fire and that also helped unsuppress the pinned down Little Birden Marines.
The squad, Sonata, and the marines charged down the hill, go through a trench, and go up a steep hill where there own mortars bombarded the hillside.
As they went up it the young caucasian Sergeant got knocked down and saw a Little Birden Marine get killed and saw Sonata try to shoot the VC soldier only for her gun to jam. The VC soldier knocked her down and before he could shoot her there was a gunshot.
It was from the young caucasian Sergeant who shot the VC soldier with his revolver.
He got up and went over to Sonata and got her up.
"Cool shades," said Sonata, "Where did you get them?"
He replied, "One of my friends. His father is a police captain. I also got a few cousins who are in the air force. Why you want a pair?"
"Sure I would love a pair," Sonata replied truthfully
He gave Sonata a pair of aviator sunglasses and she placed them on.
There was an explosion and it was the command center which they ran through and went to where the worst of the fighting was. The squad also Sonata found fox holes and they went in and just fired.
It wasn't a couple of minutes later that Sonata saw the Sergeant run so she went after him only to discover him going to the ammo dump and get enough ammo he could carry in his ammo pouches and the butt pack and ran. Sonata helped him and carried some ammo as well and helped him distribute the ammo among his squad.
Repeated air strikes, & napalm strikes including the amount of firepower the marines dished out repelled the assault.
"That's the seventh assault this week,' said the young caucasian Sergeant, "Wish you'd got a better reception. But we can't do anything about it,"
Sonata saw his nametag on his uniform.
"Waterson M?" said Sonata
He replied, "Oh sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Sergeant Mitchell Waterson thirty-ninth airborne regiment. I'm on loan from them to be here. I'm the leader of Fireteam Harmony. Looks like we're working together,"
"Another Waterson," said Sonata, "Do you know a Midnight Waterson?"
Sgt Mitchell replied, "She's my cousin once removed. She's a Gen X. I'm a Gen Y, I got a lot of family members in the military. Why?"
"Just wondering," said Sonata, "Well we should go and do what we were assigned to do,"
Sgt Mitchell replied, "I agree,"
"Also what're your squadmate's names?" asked Sonata
Sgt Mitchell replied, "For the BFT it's Private Gary Allen, Private Mackenzie Rose she's the fireteam leader, Private Hitch Trendsetter, and Private Earl Roberts. The Assault Team is Private Chester Philips, Private James Falsworth, and Private Gabe Jones. And for the Machine Gun/Anti-Armor team it's me, Private Jack Skybolt, and Private Samual Hartstock. We also got a logistical person in the armory named Fleur-Dis-Lee and our handler who's back home is IA Agent, Star Maud. Now let's go on this mission"
Wonderful names, Sonata thought, But they all look like their seventeen or eighteen years old. But we got to get this done and all that. But I really like Private Skybolt, Private Hartstock, and Sergeant Waterson.

The Girl in the Abyss
Synopsis: The mysterious force known only as "God's Guidance" implemented a game-like system and rebuilt the planet using continents from five different worlds. Join Ellie, a young girl whose soul is filled with an ocean of love and trust. No matter how horrendous the circumstance or dreadful the suffering her kindness manages to shine through, but everyone breaks eventually. Watch as the horrors of reality slowly chip away at a pure soul until nothing but a monster remains and follow her down the path of despair as she finds a reason to live. ‘Our fate is one that always leads to suffering, but you can smile, I’ll shoulder everything else.’ Warning 1: This story covers very mature themes which I have listed here: Torture of a child (The MC is the victim), death, killing, slavery, and light gore. Nothing sexual ever occurs to the main character. Warning 2: This is another apocalyptic LitRPG, has a brokenly OP MC, bad writing, horrible grammar, and garbage sentence flow. It is my first attempt at writing a story since grade school. Inspired by my four favorite stories: Overlord, CLANNAD, The Arcane Emperor, and Tokyo Ghoul. A note by me: This is not a world domination story or an action story. There is fighting but it's not the focus. Another note by me: This is a work in progress. I’ll likely go back and change stuff a lot. The cover art is by a friend who has encouraged me since the start. Releases: Volume two will not be out anytime soon sadly. I apologize for the Hiatus.
