As Silver approaches, he hears a yell
"Who goes there!"
And then one, two three bullets hit in the general area of Silver, with the accompanying bangs. Silver can tell the shots came from carbines.

Well, when you're getting shot at, yes. But it isn't no man's land.
Silver can dash across as shots are taken

Internally, this confirms Silver's suspicions. Externally, he plays along.

This is... not so straight forward
Walking down Old Mecc, Silver hears a shot in his direction. Rifle caliber

Significantly more than by the grain elevator. This includes a saloon, and likely the feed store. Silver has reentered the town.

This is a cleaner position than Silver was in before. He may have some items on him, like a comb set, canteen, Machingun magazine, or trinket.

Yes. The way Silver came skirts around the edge of town. In town, but through the north, rather than down the center with Old Mecc.

Silver goes around back the way he came (not close to the grain elevator though), North of Whinnyton, and towards the Townhall.

He comes to them sporting two new wounds.
"Changelings have sniper watching Old Mecc Trail. I was shot at near saloon and feed store. I also found what I believe to be last major remaining stronghold of changelings near Vale, at grain elevator."

He looks concerned, and replies
"Amber Grain advanced towards the Old Stone House with B Squad and found a few Changeling's in place there. I went on Old Mecc with C squad and found that the Telephone Office has been fortified, or at least seems to be, by the Changelings. I pulled back and then led an attack on Old Stone House. They didn't have any heavy weapons, so the Changelings fled. We think they went west. Probably towards the dairy facility. But the Grain Elevator... that's interesting. I don't know how big their strongholds are, but the telephone office has an old Equestrian heavy machinegun. The kind we give to our troops in the rear."

"They had Equestrian Army Trucks near Grain Elevator. While I did not get chance to search them before they shot at me, I believe they used it to not only transport heavy machine gun and other supplies, but also cocooned ponies to serve as food. We liberated those ponies at Whinnyton church."

He stands at attention, and salutes his lieutenant.

"Simple. Take whatever units necessary and retake the telephone office. As tempting as that flat, open roof may be for the mortar, the equipment in the office and around it is far too valuable to endanger with significant explosives. Bullets only, for those - I hope - will not do any damage we cannot repair."

"Sir, yes sir!"
Silver salutes Brisbuck, but doesn't leave quite immediately, needing a moment to catch his breath before getting back into combat. He smiles weakly at Brisbuck.
"So, your first time commanding our platoon in combat as our Platoon Officer. You seem to be doing well for yourself."

Silver has been shot at least twice by equestrian rifles, once by an equestrian pistol, and once by an equestrian carbine. The fact that he’s still standing is almost enough to make you lose faith in Equestrisn arms manufacturing.
He smiles, showing all of his white teeth.
“I hope command sees it that way. And I hope we’re still here by the morning.”

He nods.
“Alright. Onwards. We’re keeping at least one machine gun of some type back here to prevent the Changelings from attacking us from the West, but take as much as necessary to push East.”

All segments have returned. A squad (down three), B squad (down one), and C squad (down one), plus the machine gun detachment and headquarters section.

“Keeping it conservative. Alright. Let’s see this done.”
Silver has 11 members of C squad, and the two ponies with the machine gun who can hopefully figure out how to work the thing. A private in C squad assists in carrying ammunition for the massive weapon.

Silver and this gathering of soldiers heads for the general area of the telephone office. Hopefully there's a good building they can set themselves up in.

Brisbuck gives this last remark
"Hurry. You can hear the distant artillery as surely as I. Command needs information relayed..."
In the area of the telephone office, Silver can see that the position is near where Main Street merges with Old Mecc. There is the post office immediately west, a gas station and repair shop to the east where the triangle splits off, an inn on the north side of main past the split, and of course the salloon and feed store to the east on Old Mecc. Further to the west are shops like a grocer with living quarters on top, and a multifamily unit

Windows:
From the West (the direction Silver is approaching from) and slightly south: Th grocer with living space and the multifamily. Both are two floors
From the north, the Inn. Two floors
From the south and slightly east: the feed store and saloon
The post office and the gas station are immediately adjacent

But as silver approaches the grocer, he hears the distinctive “tat tat tat” of an Equestrian model machine gun. The squad ducks for cover between buildings

Silver uses them to peak around the corner of the building they're hiding behind, to see where exactly the MG is.

Silver can see that the telegraph office is a square building with a flat roof, like so many in the town, with a small wall coming up providing some level of cover for the creatures on the roof. Silver can recognize the type of gun. It's a belt-fed, water cooled machine gun of medium caliber on a tripod. It's designed for area defense, is very accurate, and can fire almost indefinitely. It's what the Equestrians use to defend key locations like the royal castle at Canterlot. The lack of mobiity means it's being phased out - hence why it's here miles away from the front - but there is no lack of lethality. The machine gun is right there, slightly right of center, more readily able to traverse down to shoot west on Old Mecc, but also capable of covering part of Main street, as well as to the east. There are noticeable blind spots here though, especially on Main. The gun is supported by one, two three, four rifle ponies. Interestingly Silver doesn't see any obvious signs these are not Equestrian ponies.

A blind spot rather close to the building on Old Mecc. A larger blind spot along the south side of Main Street, around the post office. And then one extending a block or more on the approach from the East. Essentially these are caused by the gun being blocked by the roof and the roof of the post office from being able to point far enough down.

"Alright, I need team of soldiers to flank them from East and take that gun out. Once it is down, we can set up MG here and destroy rest of these changelings."

Silver can't help but smile at the display from his soldiers.
"You make me one proud sergeant. Alright, let us get it done. Rest of you, I need you to keep gun occupied. Do not get shot, just keep them thinking we are still here."

Ohh. The LMG is staying right where it is. Once the flanking team has engaged the changelings and their attention is turned towards them, those who stayed right here will use the LMG to shred the changelings to bits. The changeling MG will be set up in the blind spot of the Equestrian MG and used to shoot the barrel shroud, as well as any riflelings who turn to attack.
