Saurians : BATTLE FRONT VENAUS

Chapter 2 - THE PHANTOM MENACE

Continuing clashes between Resistance Forces and Saurians Troops located in the Upper Susa Valley, in the area over the hydroelectric plant of Venaus .

On the night of 22 September , a sudden glow lit up in the sky above the hydroelectric plant , it was great hearing a deafening hiss then accompanied by a thunderous roar , similar to what might have been caused by the fall of a large meteorite or an aircraft. It is then seen rising from the mountain side a reddish glow , like that caused by a fire , which lit the area for a few hours , and then, mysteriously as it appeared , the glow has faded, as if "someone" had proceeded to turn it off.

"There must have been the Saurians", said the colonel Ferraris , Commander of the troops stationed in Venaus . Then immediately gave the order to Lieutenant Rossi to take a couple of Teams and have to carry out an exploration in the area, in order to check "WHAT" or "WHO" had fallen .

The same question are made by the ​​Commanders of the Saurians of the alien troops who controls the area near the border between Italy and France. From the Mont Cenis Command was therefore immediately sent a detachment to take an exploration, in order to verify what it happened. From the frantic communications exchanged with the spacecraft orbiting above this area , it was confirmation that no saurian vehicle goes missing , then the "thing" which was seen to fall , or " land " , it does not belong to the Saurian Invader Forces. They might therefore be a new type of a terrestrial airplane , or a meteorite.

Unbeknownst to the parallel and converging intentions of their enemies , the two opponent Detachments move in the night from their bases to the point on the mountain where it is supposed to be dropped, or "landed " the unidentified flying object . The sector is one of the woods of St. Peter, northwest of Venaus . From the charts it is known that there it should be a small plateau where it should be a little farm once occupied by herdsmen who brought there to graze their cows , now a " no man's land " , being situated close to the frontlines .

Alpini.

Under the orders of Lieutenant Rossi, who has with him a Sniper. The other members of the Detachment are divided into two teams: Command Team under the orders of a Lieutenant, with a Radio Operator, a Sharpshooter, a Team with Panzerfaust, a Team with a light machine gun, five Fusiliers; Team Infantry, under the orders of a Sergeant, with a Panzerfaust Team, a Fusilier with the Minini light machine gun, and eight Fusiliers.

Saurians.

At the orders of a Security Officer. Two Units of Shock Troopers (one with twelve soldiers and one with seven) and a Unit of the Security with seven Guards.

The clash .

The Alpini line up and move from the side of the south -east , while the Saurians advancing from the north- west of the point where the UFO is supposed to be dropped , ie the plateau where there is the little farm ( uninhabited ) .

Following the placement test , the Altarian Hunter is found to be closer to the Unit of seven Saurian Assault Troopers , which then undergo his attacks with the laser gun (mounted on the shoulder ) and the frisby ( thrown weapon ) as soon as he arrives at the launch range . Since he is protected by the " chameleon field " , the fire response of the Saurians shall not have any effect on him .

The two other Saurian Units move toward the Alpini to engage them in fire conflict . The Alpini do together to advance the Command Squad with the Lieutenant and the Sniper, while the other Team is held to cover in the shelter of the woods, in order to avoid air attack by Saurian aircraft. Even the Command Squad , advancing as quickly as possible , reach another area of the forest to seek shelter . The Saurians of the Second Assault Unit (the one with 12 Soldiers ) , are also in an area of woodland , from which , however, have line of sight on the Command Squad of the Alpine and from this they are also seen. It start the gunfight .

The battle continues like this, with the Altarian Hunter committed to eliminate one or two at a time of the Saurians who have had the misfortune to be close to him, while farther it is it is carrying out the gunfight between the Command Squad of the Alpini and the Unit of twelve Saurians Assault Troopers.

Whenever the Altarian Hunter performs the killings, he takes the bodies of his victims and brings them right up above the place where he has his base, in order to extract the "trophies " from the bodies . Because of these its movements , to Saurians can have of the momentary " truces ", of which they fail to give an explanation .

By the radio The Saurians require the intervention of their Air Force , but the attack led by a pair of fighter-bombers aircraft on the forest where it is are repaired the Team Command of the Alpini it has no effect .

At the end of the clash, the situation is the following:

- The Saurian Assault Unit attacked by the Altarian Hunter has suffered 5 losses of 7 of its components.

- The Saurian Assault Unit which had the firefight with the Command Squad of the Alpini was almost completely destroyed, but they inflicting some losses to the enemy.

In compliance with the orders received by radio from their respective Commands, Alpini and Saurians fold neatly and return to their bases. The Altarian Hunter remains the undisputed, the only "master" of the area. waiting for the arrival sooner or later of other "prey" that provide the coveted trophies, before his companions come to retrieve him to bring him back to his planet.
