Chapter 246: Battle of Ladakh part -4

Near by post, at elevated height,

Captain Ayush was leading one of the posts from which rockets were fired. In addition to the 5 rocket launchers, his position was equipped with 5 falcon cannons as backup. He had 20 artillery crew members and the rest of his soldiers were armed with musket rifles fitted with bayonets.

He was a new recruit, and fortunately for him, with his given top performance in training and with the need for the expansion of the mercenary army, he managed to get in the eye of higher officials and secured a promotion to captain.

But the ridicule of colleagues and subordinates was hard to wash off, as others often deemed him a favored candidate rather than the rightful one. But this battle was the chance to wash his shame and prove his merit, but luck played a joke as he got positioned to stay at a high altitude to just fire at random positions with no sight.
