P25-Kyle- "They are protecting that gun. It looks like one of ours, they probably got it from some captured territory."
P26- Joe-"Time the sentries."
P27-Tommy-"They keep a guard at the mouth of the bunker. That hole must be crawling with infantry."
p28-After a few hours of observation, the attack plan is drawn out. Joe-" The way I see it is that we have to attack in two groups, simultaneously- First, Sam will radio the target positions to the Devilfish, Kyle and I will set up explosives to detonate at 0600hrs to destroy the runway. Jack and Kenny will use the Bazooka and attack the tanks and the naval gun."
P29-Sgt Tommy-"So then, I guess you want me and the other men to attack the Howitzer fortifications from here." Joe-" That's correct Tommy, don't try to knock out the gun concentrate on the infantry and towers. You must get a man in there to destroy the bunker hole." Tommy-" The only one I can use is Henry with his Flame Thrower, but it will be extremely risky for him." Joe-"Have Eddie, and yourself provide him with cover fire when he engages, you must knockout the towers for him or he will not stand a chance. We are all taking risks, once the explosives on the runway detonate I want the attack to begin, and we will work our way towards you."
P30-Tommy-"Joe, what if you guys are killed before the charges are set!" Joe-"Then give em Hell!" Kyle- "Captain, I have been with you in Tarawa, Guad, and so on. Something tells me this may be our last one we do together." Joe- "Men, we are not alone, in thick or thin if we die and are abandoned on this island or whatever happens, we were and fought together as brave men. You guys make me proud. Now let's get going, before the Navy gets all the credit for winning this war!"
