[quote]The heroic members of the Royal Navy’s Special Boat Service were convinced they were going to die after being ambushed and encircled by around 50 ISIS fighters near Mosul. After killing at least 20 of the terrorists, the elite group realised they had around 10 bullets left between them and were trapped in a small river bed. Faced with the prospect of being captured and tortured, the men opted for a “soldier’s death” and decided to fight like “crazed warriors” to kill as many of the extremists as possible. Speaking with the Star, the source said: “They knew that if they were captured they would be tortured and decapitated. Rather than die on their knees, they went for a soldier’s death and charged the IS fighters who were moving along the river bed. They were screaming and swearing as they set about the terrorists.” The Brits shook hands and said goodbye, convinced they were going to die while charging the remaining 30 ISIS thugs. They ran towards the depraved militants while firing off their remaining bullets before stabbing and slashing at the death cult members. One man, a SBS Warrant Officer, drowned one of the ISIS soldiers in a puddle after forcing his face into the ground, claims the source. The same man then picked up a stone and smashed the skull of another terrorist fighter. The source added: “Another killed three of the fighters by using his assault rifle as a club.” After five minutes of hand-to-hand combat, 12 ISIS fanatics were dead or severely injured while the rest of the cowardly jihadists fled in fear. Miraculously, everyone of the Brits survived despite all of the proud men sustaining injuries. At least two of the brave fighters received gun shot wounds. They eventually walked five miles before hitching a ride back to an SAS base with a Kurdish soldier. All but two of them returned to combat within a matter of days following the incredible incident.
