Memoirs of a confused mind

D-Day +2

D-Day +2.awoke this morning to prepare for battle once again. not really feeling too good about the battle due to the fatigue and overall lack of preparation. H-Hr was marked to be 0900hrs and we know that this is our toughest battle yet. it is to be a critical battle and would account for our "Combat Advancement Plan" or "CAP" for short. Setting off at o830 hrs, we realised that we had been denied transport into enemy territoy as the general staff decided that it was too risky to go in on vehicles and ordered us to go on foot. There were great discontent among the ranks but we had no choice, and grab all our equipment and set off on foot. However, it was to be a great march as the views along the way was awesome and took some of the load off the mind, especially when we passed by 'ailec city'.

The good sight was not to be as we approach our objective. It gained a reputation for being dark and cold and had an equally fearsome nickname to it--the dungeon. The wintry and smokey conditions made it all the more difficult for us. Our mission is to capture this particular bridge called ps2102 across the as1 river. Then first shot was fired when one of our scout was shot dead by the enemy's sniper and we knew battle had began. However, the fierce battle we expected did not come and we managed to neutralize the enemy without much problems. Even the cold was not an issue for us as we fought with the winter jackets issue by divison s4.

We were once again told to leave the bridge and that another battalion would take over it. However, the news this time is that we would be getting a well-deserved break at the rear, at a old hospital called Kent Ridge Hospital. I guess its time to rest and prepare ourselves for the next battle which we know will be coming very soon...so wish us luck
