Military challenges for battle-hardened soldiers Part V Trench Combat Maj. Miguel Maj. Mannhelder Maj. Fernando-Armesto Maj. Rappel Capt. Kransdorf Lt. Borso Lt. Brand, bayonet Lt. Fuller Quartermaster Sgt. Antonio Sgt. Francisco Sgt. Marlowe Sgt. Pedro Umpires: Bonner Masterton Slye four unnamed two barbers Cpl. Tallong Pte’s The bayonet killing
zone within the trenches had been constructed for a previous exercise. The
engineers constructed a combat zone to facilitate a variety of infantry
face-to-face encounters. The top brass had been impressed both with the work
of the engineers and the way in which soldiers used it in a previous
exercise. The killing zone was predominantly located in sandy terrain. The
trenches themselves were wide enough for soldiers to rifle butt and bayonet
targets. A gallows for
executions was built at the highest point of a ridge. Umpire Slye was sentenced to hang for incompetence on duty. Maj.
Fernando-Armesto conferred with Maj. Mannhelder to pass on the command to Lt. Borso, the officer in charge of Umpires. The execution
represented the opening part of the trench killing zone combat. Soldiers were
to line up in formation with weapons and watch the execution. Maj. Mannhelder commanded the MP unit to carry out the
execution. Also, he requested
that the MPs expose Umpire Slye’s cock and balls.
In this way everybody would see if the cock responded to the noose. As a last
gesture the MPs might milk Umpire Slye’s cock if
necessary. Lt. Borso had his work cut out when he assembled and briefed
the rest of the Umpires. He claimed that the execution of an Umpire was an
unusual event. The military authorities would be reviewing their military
combat history in great detail from now on. It was a fact that their missing
colleagues had fallen in combat. They would probably be posted back to
General Infantry. For this segment the Umpires had extra tasks starting with
assisting the Quartermaster in issuing weapons. The rifle butts and bayonets
would not be affected by the sandy conditions. The butts were heavier enough
to be an effective clubbing weapon. The knives did have a protective case but
could be tucked into the side of the soldiers’ boots. In addition the Umpires
were required to take an active role assisting soldiers from both sides w working
over targets. The MPs were in
complete control of the formal execution. In truth perimeter guard duties
were notas exciting as a hanging. Here their cocks
and balls were totally exposed to the entire assembly. Their cocks had no
particular reason to be erect but their size impressed. Ninety to one hundred
soldiers formed up in their units complete with weapons the the shoulder. Two MPs escorted Umpire Slye
to the gallows. The prisoner wore boots, the vintage shorts and a dog tag
across his bare chest. An MP confiscated the cap. The officers wanted
everybody on parade to see the noose around the Umpire’s neck. Lt. Borso assumed the task of finding volunteers for the
staked area. These must include Lt. Fuller, Cpl. Tallong
and Capt. Kransdorf. In addition the re-assigned
Umpires Bonner and Masterton. A number of
soldiers had bull-sized balls today. These included Sgt. Antionio,
Cpl. Tallong, and Umpire Bonner. Soldiers loved to
attack and threaten to cut off bull-sized balls. Here in the trench killing
zone they would go one step further and actually cut off the bull-sized
balls. Maj. Miguel was totally exhibitionist; he decided that Sgt. Antonio
and himself would wear the camouflage trousers with the cowboy chaps exposing
their cocks and balls. It was only fair that the Spanish soldiers seethe
thick cock and hairy balls. After all it may be the last time! Sgt. Antonio
was cautious: his bullsized balls would attract
extra knife attention. Cpl. Tallong would bravely
attempt this when he attacked Sgt. Antonio but did not succeed. Elsewhere on
the staked area Cpl. Tallong found other soldiers
with bull-sized balls; he happily sliced them off; in some cases he was able
to stuff cocks and balls into their own or buddies’ mouths. Cant. Kransdorf ruled that, where possible, cocks were to jut
out of mouths head first. It seems that the ruling was passed over to Maj. Mannhelder as fighters in the trench killing zone
accepted it as gospel. The two sides
ostensibly wore green or light blue and black strip armbands. In the heat of
the combat and, in particular, the crowded trenches so-called “friendly fire”
was possible and, indeed, happened. The officers were included in the random
violence. The Umpires might have worn caps but this singled them out as
targets. The surviving MPs remained coo-headed and seemingly immune from
attack; everybody saw the exposed MPs’ cocks and balls. Lt. Brant was
satisfied with the regulation bayonet attached to the rifle butt. It would
satisfy his needs and prove an all-purpose weapon. He trained Sgt. Marlowe
and the two barbers. He appreciated the willing spirit they brought to the
killing zone. They proved to be assets in the trenches. To his surprise they
excelled in bayoneting soldiers in the guts and then clubbing them to death.
Who would have considered barbers to be so lethal? Other soldiers had gone
rusty on bayonet practice but the quickly remembered their training. The
Spaniards were not rusty and that proved to be a contributing factor in the
eventual outcome of the trench combat. The result of the
combat was not predetermined but the Spaniards licked the friendly forces in
many different ways. Yes, the Spaniards lost valuable soldiers in the stake
out area. There were eight stake outs—five occupied by Spaniards and three by
friendly forces. Lt. Fuller who
headed to friendly force stakes was pleased to see his protegee
Cpl. Tallong slice off Sgt. Pedro’s cock and balls.
So Sgt. Pedro headed the Spanish casualties. Sgt. Antonio attacked Lt. Fuller
who was less pleased when he lost his own cock and balls. Capt. Kransdorf directed the swap of cocks and balls. He had to
compromised when both sides suffered uneven casualties. The survivors enjoyed
the sights of the castrated casualties; there but for the grace of…go I. The survivors’ joy
was short-lived as they were shortly sucked back into combat. Capt. Kransdorf was unprepared for a Spanish Sgt., Sgt.
Francisco, to bayonet him right through the guts. Furthermore, he
fell back down onto the sand. Sgt. Francisco impaled him deep into the sand.
The Capt. was in incredible pain and powerless to stop the Sgt. cutting off
his cock and balls. The Sgt. was unable to easily pull the weapon out of
Capt. Kransdorf’s torso. He chose to collect the
Capt’s weapon. This was just as well because a friendly force soldier
attacked him in revenge. They impaled each other with considerable force. The
bayonet blade was merciless. Umpires Bonner and Masterton were superfluous to the knife fighters. They
were re-assured to see these soldiers having the time of their life playing
with the knives. Umpire Bonner watched a number of castrations. In some cases
the action was clumsy. The cock was hacked off rather than easily sliced off
with the special purpose knife. In a way hacking was the Order of the Day.
The special purpose knife may have been doing its job but it didn’t live up
to the advance publicity and claims. Only a Umpire would
be stupid enough to attack the Quartermaster. Umpire Masterton
seized the opportunity to challenge him when the Quartermaster was inspecting
the stakes. The Quartermaster had always enjoyed knife combat. He ordered the
Umpire to drop his vintage shorts at the same time as he dropped his
camouflage trousers. Both cocks rose to the occasion. Umpire Bonner was puzzled
but he supervised so that there was no outside interference. The knife duel
was carried out like a textbook bayonet exercise. The outcome was no
surprise: the Quartermaster got his way; he sliced off Pte.
Masterton’s cock and balls. Pte.
Masterton was so dismayed he slit his own throat
with the knife. The blood splashed down his chest. The Quartermaster put his
camouflage trousers back on, wiped the knife, put it back in its holster and
continued patrolling back to the trench area. This was a lively
killing zone. Lt. Brant challenged Maj. Miguel who welcomed the chance to
bayonet him. Maj. Miguel excelled in his bayonet training many years ago. Lt.
Brant was a raw recruit by comparison. The bayonet impaled Lt. Brant who was
literally stopped in his tracks. The pain was excruciating. Maj. Miguel’s
cock was handy; he pissed all over the Lt. What relief! Sgt. Marlowe was
sorry to see the end of Lt. Brant who had been so helpful. The Sgt. wasn’t
moved to revenge as he was too level-header. He continued hunting down and
killing targets with the bayonet. Nevertheless, he was shocked when a
Spaniard clubbed him out of the blue. In turn the barbers were dismayed at
this clubbing but they had to fend off attackers as well. They put up a
worthy fight but the Spaniards successfully bayonetted
and clubbed them to death. A mere Spanish Pte. bayonetted and clubbed
Maj. Rappel to death. The Maj. had been expecting a sniper assassin rather
than a Spanish Pte. The trench was overfull at the
time with fighters attacking with bayonets and finishing off the targets with
rifle butts. The bodies started to smell. Maj. Mannhelder could see the friendly force side was in
trouble. He had qualms about whether he himself would survive. Now he
regretted his enthusiasm for bringing the Spanish troops into the combat.
Maj. Fernando-Armesto was presumably supporting the
Spanish side. Maj. Mannhelder decided to challenge Maj. Miguel to a duel
with weapons to be negotiated. Maj. Miguel insisted that they both use rifle
butts and bayonets. Some exhausted fighters paused to watch the trench duel.
Maj. Miguel overlooked the number of bodies he would trip over. Maj. Mannhelder was a canny Special Forces officer and
unafraid of rifle butts and bayonets. The Spaniards were numerically winning
the combat day but they still lost their leader. The bayonet penetrated Maj.
Miguel’s guts. Shortly afterwards Maj. Mannhelder
clubbed Maj. Miguel to a conclusive death. Sgt. Francisco was genuinely
disappointed in the outcome but he expected there would be an outstanding
Spaniard to replace the fallen Maj. Miguel. The rank and file Spaniards
gasped in disbelief but realised that they had
still won the trench combat. They had killed more friendly force soldiers
than those they had lost. Sgt. Antonio escorted Maj. Fernando-Armesto during the inspection. Maj. Fernando-Armesto called an end to the trench combat. However, he
insisted that the survivors from all combat activities formally parade for a
roll call in front of the execution site. Umpire Slye
still hung from the gallows. Everybody paraded with cocks hanging out of
camouflage trousers. The Maj. was
relieved that he could flaunt his own big cock in front of all the troops.
Maj. Mannhelder organised
the friendly force troops with the help of the Quartermaster. The MPs were
nominally under the Maj’s command. Sgt. Francisco
rallied the Spanish forces. Lt. Borso called in the
Umpires. Lt. Borso returned to his Eagle Strike force unit which
became operational. Today’s Umpires were posted to other units. Staff Sgt.
Bonner was posted back to a desk job which was crushingly boring. One night
he got marching orders with very short notice and was never seen again in
those barracks. A few months later
Cpl. Tallong graduated as an MP. His package
contained a knife and a short document. “Congratulations.
You are now a full member of the Military Cattle Cut Club. The enclosed knife
is a reward for past performance. We look forward to your attendance at our
compulsory meetings which are approved by the authorities.” |
