"Entry of the Gladiators" but you're an Austrian-Hungarian soldier trying to cross the San river under heavy artillery fire.
I actually did a bunch of research for this one.
On October 14th 1914, Austrian-Hungarian Chief of Staff, Conrad von Hotzendorf, ordered the combined relief forces in Przemysl and Boroevic to cross the San river and engage the Russian forces.
The engagement was a catastrophe.
Not only were the Austrians bombarded by the Russians but also by their own side, due to miscommunication.
There were no pontoons to make bridges, so the soldiers had to use makeshift boats to ferry themselves across the river.
On top of all this, one of the Austrian commanders thought a marching band would be good for morale. So he had one play on the Austrian shore.
To add even more to this dumpsterfire: Czech composer Julius Fučík had been a military bandmaster of the Austro-Hungarian army since 1897. During his service he would write the parade march "Entry of the Gladiators". The march itself would be used by the empire until its collapse in 1918.
This song would eventually be renamed to "Thunder and Blazes" and used by circuses. Where it often was referred to as "Clown music".
Although I cannot prove which songs were played during the San crossing, there is a pretty good chance that "Entry of the Gladiators" was.
Imagine getting clowned so hard your music BECOMES apart of what clowns stand for
The music fit so well
Respect
Did you know that against Russia, the Austrians sent mostly "expendable troops"? All those who had different origins but was still citizens of their empire.
Italians, Hungarians, Chzechs, Slovaks...
It's not a surprise why the Chzech legion was in Russia at the time of the Civil War. And many others also.
We Italians had two legions in Russia during the Civil War. One of volunteers, the other made by former prisoners of war taken by the Russians and then released by Trotsky.
Bad choice Trotsky, those guys decided to fight for Kolchack. 😤
The Austrian army was a whole ass circus 🤡
If you're wanting some Starship Troopers book lore, *The Ballad of Rodger Young* but you're fighting in Operation Bughouse
"What I do know is that the General dropped with us and commanded us on the ground and, when the situation became impossible, he personally led the diversionary attack that allowed quite a few of us (including me) to be retrieved-and, in so doing, bought his farm. He's radioactive debris on Klendathu and it's much too late to court-martial him, so why talk about it?"
I had a similar idea but with "Klendaathu Drop" instead of "The Ballad of Rodger Young" Reckon both work
"The Trooper" but your in the Battle of Hope Against the entire Zombie population of the United States.
That'd be sick

Would cream if this one was done. Please lord.
Might fit a little better with the Battle of Yonkers but I guess that works too :P

BFG division but you are the last of your platoon holding out against Martian troops
First Platoon was hit immediately after the HighDrop, with hostile M23-L emplacements scything through Second and Eighth Squad upon pod exit. We called in support from the strike cruiser Payday and gun runs from Shrike gunships in response. Second Platoon hit the ground next and experienced the same fate. Two hundred soldiers of five hundred were dead by the time Third landed.
The battle was back and forth for a while. The Martians were dug in deep and fanatically dedicated, but we had firepower and support from on high. We hadn't expected to need Third Platoon to deploy until Landing Plus 0630 Solar Hours. They hit the ground at L+0015. That proved the decisive factor.
Third Platoon was our armored branch. I watched as a M11 Kaiser Main Battle Tank rolled off the Headache- HDHC, or Heavy Drop Hard Case- and opened up with both railguns, plus two L89 laser machine guns. The first shot detonated a hostile command bunker, piercing through the side of a mountain to do so.
Fourth and Fifth Platoons- our medical support and the rest of our armor- hit the ground an hour later. Fifth landed our artillery while friendly air support chased off hostile M2020 interceptors. A Vulc anti-aircraft launcher shot down one of the three M2020s- another pinprick of orange against a red sky.
Fuck, I'd never been happier to see Marties die.
We set up our artillery and brought our wounded to the medtent. I don't envy them; they were being operated on right next to some of the heaviest guns we had, and those guns were pounding Olympus Mons, trying to flatten hostile air defense so Hassies- Heavy Assault Shock Soldiers- could raise the Earthly green and blue above the mountain once more.
All in all, I'm not sure the drop was worth it- the Hassies took Mons without losing any of their number. But hey, what do I know. I'm just a rockhopper.
The amount of references contained in this comment is astonishing
@@plasmawolf7960 But the question is, how many were intentional?
@@ladywaffle2210 I honestly could only pick out a few. Rock hopper is definitely an Icarus Corps reference. Hassies sounds like they could be an ODST analog.
@@plasmawolf7960 Hassies was an ODST analog. The "Headache" was inspired by the tactic Steel Rain of 40k fame. The Strike Cruiser Payday was named Payday because I was playing Payday 2 while I wrote this. The Vulc AA launcher was just a shortening of the M163 Vulcan Air Defense System. That's it for the intentional references.
@@ladywaffle2210 Was shrike gunships not an intentional reference? Just asking cause Im currently reading a series that uses that exact name for the gunships.

“30 SECONDS!” I heard the captain cry out, as I could hear the air lock into my comrades helmets and their guns click, eager for a show. I could feel my stomach do somersaults in my gut, but I followed procedure. Locking my helmet into place and loading in my energy mag. A metallic *whirrrr* echo’d as the shuttle door tore open as we were witnessed to what looked like hundreds of dropships charging through a wall of beams, as we saw dropships erupt in flames metal fall the Martian soil like rain. We could see a couple escorts and intercepts dogfighting through the hail of lasers and dropships. The drop ship, or the ‘Banshee’ as we called her, started scraping the Martian surface, flying maybe a quarter mile from the surface. The banshee now pulled back, hovering over the surface. Men scattered, readjusting to the Martian gravity as they hit the orange soil. We immediately started taking fire. Bolts soared and zipped through the air, as men dropped around me. I braved forward and stopped myself from pissing myself as I raised my gun, firing wildly. After a few minutes of pressing forward and catching a few Martian with my rifle, I suddenly saw a blight light and I could feel myself get hit by a shockwave for a second. That’s all I can remember before I woke up in a hospital shuttle.

Plot twist, the Martians aren’t aliens. They’re human rebels.
The year is 2058, after first contact with the Xenos in the Orion system Martian ODST's landed on ridge 442 on the Xenos mining planet of Hephestos, at the time, thought to be entirely run and operated by AI.
By 04:00 GST the first ODST drop group known as the "Red Stars" made contact with the surface of Hephestos, the pods were immediatly fired upon by Xenos soldiers in a well coridinated ambush.
By 12:00 GST all 4 ODST groups had requested imedite evac stating that the Xenos presence was overwhelming.
By 15:33 GST Xenos aircraft had made an evacuation impossible. Only 22% of ODST's are still able to combat the enemy with the remaining 78% either KIA or wounded.
At 16:12 GST While on route to a space port for unloading the crew of the Freighter class ship Florencia hearing the desperate evac calls bravely turned course, and charged directly for Hephestos, threatening to destroy the whole planet if the Xenos air force didn't immediatly attempt to intercept it.
At preciesly 17:00 GST The Florencia activated Its self destruction sequence while in orbit killing all on board and creating a debris field that would slow the Xenos Air force and allow the Imperial Commonwealth of Hummanity to evac the the remaing ODST's
By 19:38 GST all ships had evacuated presumed Xenos territory, only 4% of the original 700 ODST's survived the ambush. The entirety of the "Red Stars" were wiped out.
The entirety of the following Martian ODST graduates would take on the title of the "Red Stars" and thus in time would become the name generally given to all ODSTs of Martian origin thereafter.
