User blog:El Alamein/Long Range Desert Group vs. Z Special Unit

It's a battle of the most elite World War II Allied fighting squads! The Long Range Desert Group, a British reconnaissance group that harrassed Italian forces in North Africa, and Z Special Unit, secret agents that worked behind lines in the Pacific Theater to combat the Japanese menace! It's a battle between light infantry skirmishers and undercover agents! North Africa's finest and the unknown terrors of the Pacific!

Long-Range Desert Group:
The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was formed specifically to counter Italian operations across North Africa and around the Mediterranean, and they carried out these missions with several weapons: The LRDG is famed for their covert operations and thanks to them, the Allied troops got a great foothold on North Africa that was vital to deposing Mussolini and later, invading Southern Europe.
 * 1) The Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) No. 1 Mk. III Rifle
 * 2) Thompson submachine gun
 * 3) Webley Mk. VI
 * 4) No. 69 Grenade

Z Special Unit
The Z Special Unit was a branch-off of the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) spy network that operated in the Pacific Theater of WWII, as opposed to the SOE's main operations in Europe. The Z Special Unit had these weaopns at their disposal:
 * 1) The Arisaka Type 99 Battle Rifle
 * 2) Suppressed Sten Mk. 2 Submachine Gun
 * 3) Smith & Wesson Victory Model Revolver
 * 4) Mills Bomb

The Z Special Unit set up Operation Scorpion, a planned raid on a New Guinea base controlled by the Japanese, and this set the stage for future missions like Operation Jaywick and Operation Rimau.

Battle:
If 5 LRDG commandos took on 5 Z Special Unit operatives, who would win? Assume this battle took place on the beaches around France, like Normandy, to give neither side a distinct terrain advantage. Comment votes are appreciated! Hope to see you all around!
