My father told me “Chesty” Puller said this, and it always makes me smile when I’m in a similar situation:

Men! The enemy have us surrounded!

The poor, dumb bastards! They can’t get away from us now!

There are other versions of the quote here, but I like this one best. Wikipedia has his biography here.
