Run Through the Jungle

Deep within the Jungles of Indochina, a French soldier ran with a machine gun in his hands as gunfire and mortars erupted around him. The weapon he used was neither a French heavy machine gun like the Peuteux, or the Hotchkiss, nor recent developments in French "light machine guns" like the cheautchat.

His unit of legionnaires had run out of ammunition for their own weapons a very long time ago, and resupply was almost non-existent, as the state of France and its current colonial empire tore at the seams.

No, he carried one of the Japanese machine guns with multiple belts of ammunition wrapped around his chest. Ammunition scavenged from his kills in the field, currently however the position he and his unit were ordered to hold was being overwhelmed by the combined might of the Royal Thai Army and the Imperial Japanese Army who had run through the gap in between the trenches without any regard for their own well being.
