Sergeant Semyon was holding his Papasha upside down, trying to clear a jam when he heard the sound of a Prosen machine gun.
He looked up at the sound, only to see a Prosen soldier stand up in the bushes, sweeping the area with his machine gun.
The gunner had not noticed Sergeant Semyon yet, so he quickly hunkered down and repeatedly pulled the action, trying to eject the jammed casing.
On the third pull, the casing clicked free. Sergeant Semyon quickly worked the bolt several times to ensure the malfunction was completely cleared before he turned the gun right side up and started to shower the Prosen gunner with bullets.
Precise shooting was out of the question; the Papasha wasn't designed for that. Soldiers of the Ante Army had developed the habit of simply spraying bullets regardless of the distance. Even if they didn't hit the enemy, they could force them to take cover.
Soon the area around the enemy gunner was all torn-up grass, the leaves swept up by the bullets.
