Fenny Valley Bridge, the battle was still ongoing.
Balasians' tactics were very simple: first, they bombarded with mortars, followed by infantry charges; if that didn't succeed, they resumed the mortar shelling.
Fortunately, these Balasians had no mountain guns or direct-fire artillery. The bunkers built by the Prosens were sturdy, and even though the outer walls of the bunkers were blasted away in many places by the mortars, they nonetheless failed to destroy the bunkers.
By two in the morning, the real problem began to emerge.
"We're out of bullets!" came the voice of Commander Keys from the north side of the bridge on the phone, "The ammo stockpiled in the bunker is almost gone! We've fired at least thirty thousand rounds, and the enemy has simply consumed all our ammunition with their bodies!"
It seemed that Captain Henry, who originally commanded the South Bank Commandos, had been killed by mortar fire, so Lieutenant Keys took over command according to the sequence.
