The Forty Third War: Journal 5

Today, we woke up pretty early, because the captain had blown the whistle. After we woke up we were quickly given some coffee, and some tortillas, with beans. We were then told to gather around the HQ, and the captain told us that the Loyalist army had moved to the capital city of, Juticalpa, and that if the loyalists get control of the city, we will lose the battle. After the instructions, we were given two clips of ammunition, and our blankets to carry, and then we left for the hike.

We walked a lot and we were going to visit a village for some support on the main battle. After about two hours, we reached a village. The people in the village were all dead. We searched everywhere for people and found a small boy. He told us that the loyalists had shot everyone on the village and that he wasn't killed, because he was hiding in the forest. We made graves for most of the dead people, and Roberto was told to find clothes to wrap the dead bodies. After burying them we started to go back to the village. Along with the boy, we started to hike back at the camp. On the way the captain told us that we were going to drop the boy off at the American mission, where they would take care of him. We walked for about an hour and found the village of the American mission. We left the boy there and we were off again. Some time later we spotted seven loyalists in front of us and they were walking towards us. We ambushed them, and all of them were dead. We stole all the ammunition they had. Then we started to walk back carrying the ammunition. We didn't stop on our way. After about an hour and a half we were back at the camp. I saw that dinner was ready, because it was already dark. After eating, we took our blankets out and then we slept.
