Demon Line

Three times we have had other countries try to invade us. We were going to be prepared if they tried again so we built the Demon Line. First it was a thousand meters of fields of grain and then a deep trench filled with water that was twenty meters across. On the other side of that was the demon line.

The outside was plates of steel and then several meters of reinforced concrete. The demon line was thirty meters high with machine guns in it. On top was huge turrets that held artillery and anti tank guns. Others had mortars and along the front edge of the demon line was ports for men to fire out.

There were ten meters of reinforced concrete and five of crushed rock and earth on top. The demon line was fifty meters thick with the back sloping down to the ground. That was the outside, inside there were bunkers and barracks for men. There were command centers and ammo storage areas.

There was a tram that ran under the entire length of the demon line from ocean to ocean. The only way through were narrow kill gates. They were called that because if the enemy used them they were flooded. It took us twenty years to build and for another thirty no one attacked or started a war. We still manned the demon line and even extended it along the coast.

I was eighteen and had started my mandatory two years in the military. I was assigned to the north demon line and the first year went quickly. I doing a regular and routine patrol along the far side of the grain fields. I heard motors and stopped walking and glanced through the fence.

On the other side was forest but I could see engine smoke and heard another engine start up. Someone moved and I saw the top of a tank and spun and started running as I pulled out a special whistle. I started blowing as I kept running as fast as I could and heard men shooting behind me.

I could hear the crack of the bullets and then the demon line sirens began to sound. I ignored the kill gate as I reached the trench and dove in. I swam across and lunged up and out and shifted and side stepped to the rope ladder that dropped down. I scrambled up but they had stopped firing at me as tanks crashed through the border fence.

I had just reached the top and was climbing over when the anti tank guns opened up. I glanced back and frowned when I saw the trench in front of the kill gate empty. I turned and then started pulling the rope ladder up and over. I rolled and came to my feet and ran for the hatch down.

I closed the hatch and put my feet on the outside of the ladder and slid all the way to the ground level. I turned and ran for the kill gate control room. I heard firing and when I got there an officer was dead in the doorway. I knelt and took the pistol out of his hand and checked it as I stood. I took a breath as I brought it up and stepped into the doorway.

Two men were in the room and one lifted a rifle towards me and I shot him in the head. The other spun as the first fell and I shot him in the chest twice before I walked towards the controls as he fell. I started yanking levers down and spun two large wheels. I sagged against the wall and looked at the two men that had been spies.

I looked at three men as they stepped in carefully and shook my head, “we need to send an emergency signal in case there are more like these.”

One moved to the wall and switched on the intercom and started talking. I looked at the pistol in my hand and moved the thumb safety before slipping it into the small of my back. I straightened and strode out and towards the barrack lockers. I ignored my wet clothes as I put on my ammo vest and grabbed my rifle.

I trotted up the stairs and moved to one of the machine gun ports. I looked out as the demon line shook from artillery. Burning armor spotted the fields and dead enemy soldiers lay everywhere. The gunner grinned at me and I turned to head up to the top. Reports were coming in from along the demon line.

The enemy here had moved early because of my alarm. There had been other spies but the kill gates were sealed and flooded before the enemy could use them. This had been a minor attack, the three sites where whole armies struck were under heavy artillery barrages. Our anti tank and artillery was doing serious damages.

Machine guns and mortars killed enemy soldiers before they could even reach the trenches. From the top of the demon line I knelt and used my rifle as I searched the far trees. It was hours before my platoon assembly was called. When I reached the assembly hall it was full and everyone was talking.

The company commander slapped my shoulder as he walked by, “excellent job private.”

I grinned as he spoke with the lieutenant and then left. The lieutenant called us to attention, “listen up. We are moving out. Grab you packs and go to the tram and stand by.”

An hour later the long tram was speeding through the demon line with a thousand soldiers to help a weak spot. The enemy was pounding it with artillery but the artillery and mortars in the demon line were answering it. All the trenches had opened the water systems so even if they breached the demon line they could not cross unless they swam.

We could feel the tremors of the artillery before the tram stopped and we unload. We stayed in company formations and began to trot towards the next set of stairs. Each company split off as we moved down the demon line and climbed up. My platoon split off finally and we climbed up again.

We split into squads on the level below the top and moved towards the front. I stepped into one of the firing port rooms and stared at the giant rips and breaks in the outer wall. The men in the room were dead and I moved to the outer port. I glanced at the others before I moved back and went to my stomach as I shifted over.

I was looking out a rip and could see men in the far wood line. I took a breath and flicked the safety off before I squeezed. The report was contained in the room and so was the flash from the muzzle. The man I was aiming at went down and I shifted to another, “use the breaks and stay back from the port to fire.”

That was when I saw the radio one of the enemy held. He must have been an observer for their artillery. This time I aimed at the radio and fired and the man went down with it. The others started firing and the enemy went down and moved back. When several tanks charged out they were different and had flames licking at the muzzle of the big gun.

Of course a half dozen anti tank guns fired and two exploded but that left two and they were headed straight for the trench. I doubted they would try to cross and I was right they stopped and a huge plume of fire shot out towards the demon line. I was ready to leave like the others when I saw the fuel tanks on the back of the tanks.

I fired into them rapidly and suddenly one tank exploded and was engulfed in fire. A moment later the second joined it and I relaxed and looked across the field to see an army of men. They were running and I began to fire and kill them. The machine guns started firing and the men fell in whole ranks.

Bullets began to strike the firing port and the two men using it ducked back. Those of us firing through the cracks continued and the charging men faltered and turned to flee. Tanks opened up and began to fire into the demon line from inside the trees. They were focused on a single spot and just kept hammering at it.

The demon line artillery and mortars began to rip the woods apart and after several tanks were destroyed they pulled back. Everything went quiet except for a shot every once in awhile. They were always answered by several from us. The day stretched out as our army filled the whole demon line in this area.

My squad was relieved and sent to eat and rest. We went to get more ammo and wash before heading to the dining area. The cooks were busy and there was a long line of men and I saw families standing along the wall. I gestured, “what are they doing here?”

Another soldier that was eating snorted, “their farms were inside the demon line but the enemy artillery was striking them. They are looking for food and shelter.”

I moved towards the families, “get in line.”

A man held his hat, “soldiers should…”

I smiled, “defend those we protect. Get in line and eat.”

I waited and stood behind the last one who was a striking teenager. She had black hair and smiled back at me, “thank you.”

No one said anything as the cook fed them and they went to sit and eat. I sat and started eating and looked at the girl when she moved to sit across from me. She ate and kept looking around, “there must be something for us to do?”

I looked at her and then at the families before I grinned, “there is. You can carry food and water yes?”

She nodded and I looked around and cleared my throat, “lieutenant?”

He glanced at me and the captain who was across the table stopped eating to look. I gestured to the families, “instead of shoving them aside we should use them.”

The lieutenant glanced at them, “for what?”

I grinned, “well the men and lads can help bring ammo to the positions or load and unload trams. The women and girls can help the cooks or bring rations and water.”

He looked at the captain who had a grin. He nodded and stood and moved to the wall intercom. Minutes later the families were assigned to companies. They would be able to sleep in our barracks and share our meals. The enemy had moved back to regroup and our commanders were using the time to shuffle men and weapons.

I led the families back and up a level to the barracks. I showed them the supply room and they pulled out mattresses. I pulled a blanket from my pack and stripped to wash with a cloth. I laid back on the hard wooden bunk, the mattress was only a hand thick. I could hear others as the light dimmed and a moment later the girl moved over me.

She straddled my waist and put her head on my shoulder, “my name is Nora.”

I caressed her bare hips, “Kyle.”

I woke to the demon line shaking a little from an explosion and Nora jerked. She hugged me tight and I heard men mutter. I felt the girl on me as she trembled and she shifted up and then slowly pushed back. My cock was forced into her very tight pussy and she sighed and wiggled to get it all in.

I hugged her and rubbed her back as she began to rock. It was not long before her pussy was slippery and she was pushing until my cock was buried. She shivered and kissed me as she moaned. I shifted and turned until she was under me and began to fuck her with short grinding thrusts.

She clutched me as the demon line shook from another explosion and her pussy clenched, “ooohhhh!”

I heard a few people chuckle but continued to fuck her. I started to use firm thrusts and pulled back for longer strokes. The loud boom with the demon line shaking had her wrapping her legs and thrashing around. I fucked her hard and deep and finally buried my cock and held her. I kissed her while pumping thick spurts of sperm.

She jerked and spasmed while her pussy kept grasping, “mmmm!”

When I was done I shifted around until she was on me and rubbed her back. She put her head on my shoulder and sighed. We woke several times to the demon line shaking and finally someone turned up the light. My eyes opened and I shifted and hugged Nora, “time to get up and wash.”

She sighed and moved off me and I followed her out of bed. I led her to the bathroom and the large open shower. I ignored the other men as they came in and turned her and started to wash her. She blushed but no one said anything as the families came in hesitantly. I pulled her out and started drying her and she shook her head and pulled the towel away, “you first.”

We returned to the barracks and got dressed and I waited for the families and led them back to the dining area. We ate and then I began to show them where to go and who to see. I found my squad back in the firing port room. I could see a few more destroyed tanks through the crack and someone had added sand bags at the rips in the wall.

It was quiet as we waited and watched but nothing was moving. Down the demon line another major attack was going on but it was stalled. The demon line had been breached in several places but the enemy could not get over the water and through the defenses. Companies were being sent but we were staying here.

Nora went to all the firing port rooms on this level to give any news that came in. She brought water and at noon she brought rations. The army further in the country was finally moving towards the demon line and bringing our tanks and artillery. The coastal positions had ships and men try to land and breach the defenses but they held.

The countries to the south and east were on war postures. Give us a couple of days and nothing was going to get through the demon line. Give us a week and we would take the war to them. The enemy was striking the demon line in several places but so far it held. It was late afternoon when I shifted and glanced down into the trench.

I frowned when I saw the water level going down, “that is not right.”

The others came to look and I went to the intercom, “we have the water in the trench being pumped out.”

“You are seeing things soldier.”

I looked at the others before I headed for the door, “watch the tree line.”

I started to run and took the stairs three at a time as I headed down to the pump control room. I ran around the last corner and dove as six soldiers brought rifles up and fired. I rolled into an open door and spun as I rolled to my feet. I realized I had dropped my rifle and it was in the hall.

I heard running and pulled the pistol from under the belt at my back and moved the thumb safety as I brought it up. I shot the first man that reached the door in the chest and the second in the head. I moved to the door as they fell and switched hands and spun. I brought the pistol up and fired into the four soldiers.

One fell and the others lifted their rifles but I shot another in the chest. The last two crashed into each other as they tried to get through the door behind them. I shot one in the side and then last in the back as he turned. I started down the hall and kicked the weapon away from the one shot in the side.

I lifted the pistol as I stepped into the pump control room and shot an officer spinning from the console. Another jumped up from the other side and I put the last bullet from the pistol through his throat. I crossed the room and bent to take the pistols from both men. I moved to the consoles and hesitated before I shut the pumps down.

I changed the position of the valve levers and then went to the far wall and started turning the wheels to flood the trenches again. I turned when I heard running feet and lifted one of the officer pistols. Men rushed in with rifles up but they were ours and I relaxed and lowered the pistol.

I went to the two officers and bent to search them and found the enemy uniform under ours. I stripped the thick weapon belts off and began pulling the bodies out, “someone send a warning to the demon line command. We have enemy infiltrators wearing our uniforms.”

That led to guards being posted but I got my rifle and returned to the firing port room. I grinned as I stopped Nora and put one of the thick weapon belts on her. I put one of the pistols in the holster and gave her a kiss, “water and someone to find me more ammo for my pistol?”

She grinned and pushed me into the room and stepped out and yelled. I gave the second captured pistol to one of the others as I went to look down into the trench. Water was gushing into it but when I glanced towards the shattered trees I saw the army moving towards us, “we have company.”

I moved back to my place, “stay in the hall Nora!”

I aimed and a moment later artillery began hitting the demon line. Of course our artillery and mortars began to fire and the machine guns opened up as the enemy charged. The whole demon line was shaking as we continued to fire. Rounds ricocheted around as they hit the port or walls. We could hear men yelling or screaming as slowly the enemy came closer.

Bullets screamed back and forth with thousands of cracking sounds that was almost deafening. Just before the enemy soldiers reached the trench we grinned as a thousand pipes in the top of the demon line shot out grenades. They landed on the other side of the trench and the enemy had no way to escape.

Explosions ripped them apart and they turned and ran. There were only a few sections of the demon line that had the spring loaded launchers and we were glad one was here. Just as fast as it had started only dead and wounded were left behind. I reloaded my rifle and shifted to toss the empty magazines towards the door.

It was not long before one of the civilian men brought ammo and Nora brought water. She went to several rooms before returning with rations. Somehow we only had a few people hurt and none killed. Finally the word was passed and a fresh squad entered the room. We left and I caught Nora as each man took a moment to kiss her cheek.

We found the company eating with the families mixed in. I was tired but got food with Nora and ate. We went to the barracks and I stripped and helped her undress before we went to shower. After we were done I led her to our bed and laid back and she snuggled. I fell asleep quickly with her against and on me.

We were there for two weeks but that was the last attack. The army went through the demon line and struck into the enemy and just kept going. I kissed Nora a few days later and our company followed the army. One month and the war was over and the enemy had lost two thirds of their men.

It was another month before we returned to the demon line. I went searching and found Nora on her farm and married her. It took us five years to repair and update the demon line. I was only there for the first year and then took Nora home to my farm. It has been two decades and the demon line remains unbroken.

THE END
