186 Battle in the North Part 3

Takashi faltered as he stepped backward. His eyes fixed on the sky, looking to the aircraft that intercepted their hope of breaking the lines of the Ruthenian Army.

"What is that?! What is that?!" he shouted furiously as he followed the sound of the engine reverberating in the sky with his eyes. 

He sought to track it down and have a better look at it. Since the war started, the Ruthenians have been bringing out new guns into the fight. Much of them are not known to the world, much more to the west. 

He had expected the war to play out similarly to the first Rutho-Yamato war but it didn't.

Today, the Ruthenians have been on the high ground, their impenetrable tanks, their rifles that can shoot accurately from 600 to 700 meters and fire twenty to thirty rounds of bullets in a single magazine.
