[Sensha-do Battlegrounds] -  1 hour before the start of the Practice match.

(As everyone is preparing for their practice battle against the British and St. Gloriana Jiro, Otto and Maho decided to pay the Brits and St. Gloriana a visit on their garage, As they arrived at the garage they were greeted with Nigel and his second in command and some of the St. Gloriana girls drinking some tea.)

"Ah Eric, glad you could join us." Nigel greeted

"Yes yes, hello Nigel its been a while how's things?" he asked

"All good, Lad! a few hiccups here and there but they are manageable." he replied

"That's good to hear my friend, so you gonna introduce me to your Japanese friends and your second in command?"

"Of course, meet my little sister Margret Walthers." he introduced

"Good Day, sir Eric!" she replied in a very British way

"Hello, nice to meet you too. So Nigel how about this fine young ladies care to introduce me?" he asked

"Of course, Miss Darjeeling. Please introduce yourselves." Nigel said

"But of course, I am Darjeeling commander of St. Gloriana Girls Academy." she started

"I am Assam, I am Miss. Darjeeling's gunner." she said

"Hello, my name is Orange Pekoe I am the loader for Miss. Darjeeling." Pekoe said as she introduces herself

"HI! There My name is Rosehip St Gloriana's Top Speedster!" she said excitedly

"Nice to meet you ladies, my name is Eric Jager or was my name from Western Force University in Germany." he said

(Hearing this Nigel arched a brow and looked at Jiro with a confused face plastered all over his own face, of course in a very British way)

"What do you mean Eric?" Nigel asked

"We'll get to that in a while, meet my Vice Commander Otto Ludendorff and of course the commander of Kuromorimine Nishizumi Maho."

"Well I know Otto for a while, But a pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss. Nishizumi." Nigel said

"The pleasure is mine." Maho replied

"If you need me Kommandant I'll be talking to one of my friends here in Bovington." said Otto

"You want to talk to Charlie again do you?" Nigel asked

"Sure go ahead, just be sure don't be late for the meeting later." he said

"Jawohl Kommandant!" Otto Saluted

(As Otto left, the ones now present in the group was Jiro, Maho, Nigel, Margret, and Darjeeling and some of her friends. Then Nigel spoke first)

"So Eric what are your saying about, your name again?" he asked arching a brow

"Right. As you know, just by my looks I am Asian right?"

(Nigel and the others gave nods, while at the same time Maho was just behind Jiro grinning away)

"My real name is Nishizumi Jiro, the eldest in the Nishizumi family" he said

(At the released of those words Nigel was staring at him with a disbelieving looks, while Margret and Darjeeling and the others were just staring at him with shocked expressions)

"Ara Ara I never knew the famous Western wolf was a Nishizumi." Darjeeling reacted

"I never saw this coming, even with me digging some information up. I never knew he was a Nishizumi all along." added Assam

"WOW SO COOL, SO YOUR SAYING YOUR A NISHIZUMI!" Reacted Rosehip

"Rosehip there's no need to shout." said Pekoe

"Well I never knew your friend here is a Nishizumi, Big brother." chuckled Margret

"Well it never came to me, but given his skills out on the field. He is by far a Nishizumi alright." smiled Nigel

"So Maho-san, he's your older brother?" asked Darjeeling

"Yeah he's my Onii-sama." Maho said while, still grinning

"Well then its very nice to meet you, Jiro-san." said Darjeeling

"Likewise Darjeeling-san." Jiro replied

(Soon the group dispersed with Jiro and Maho going back to their respective garages and the Brits and St. Gloriana doing their own preparations, Soon entering the Command tent inside was Otto, Erika, and a few others. Jiro then gestured for them to sit down)

"So everyone, today is day where the training we gave you girls will be put to the test." he said

"Hai!" replied the Kuromorimine girls

"I don't want all of you to be so reckless, remember we are fighting St. Gloriana a school which can easily match us, add to that the British one of our long standing rivals, a school which can give us the run for our money."

"Hai Jiro-taichou!" replied the Kuromorimine girls

"Jawohl Kommandant!" replied Otto and the other subordinates from Western force

"So here's the plan we'll split into two companies Kampgruppe Nishizumi with Maho will be the Commander will take them head on on point Delta 2. Be on the defensive do not let St Gloriana or the British to break your defenses." he said

"What will you be doing with the rest of your company Onii-sama?" Maho asked

"We'll be flanking them around we'll Blitz them from behind cut them off, then with that happening we'll converge on them and set up a deadly crossfire" Jiro said

"Jiro-san what will be our, operation's name?" asked Erika

"Good question Itsumi-kun, me and Otto here have decided our operation's code name is Fall Gelb or Case Yellow." he said

"We based our name from the Western Front campaign of June 1940, obviously from the Wehrmact, of course since we are going to do a Blitzkrieg attack from behind." said Otto

"Of course, thank you Jiro-san, Otto-san." replied Erika

(Soon the meeting was finished now with about 30 minutes left before the match starts everyone in W.K.U was in formation in front of the command tent with Jiro and Otto at the front of the crowd this in turn confused the Kuromorimine girls as to why all of W.K.U's tankers are present there, Soon Jiro started talking, also present is W.K.U's tankers Band with them also adorning their instruments)

"Alright everyone, we are going to be fighting the British again make no mistake we already fought them many times, and many times they will beat us. I don't want any of you doing anything reckless. Be sure of your movements! Move fluidly! Act accordingly from your training!"

"JAWOHL HERR KOMMANDANT!" They all responded

"What we are!?" Jiro asked

"Western Force!" They all responded

"I Can't hear you!" Jiro asked again

"We Are Western Force!" The W.K.U Tankers responded

"Good, Band Begin!" he ordered

"Jawohl!" the band leader responded

"Deutsche Nationalhymne!" he shouted

(And as he shouted that the band begins to play the song)

A/N: You couldn't be more German without including zis. Also ngl this version is so relaxing, is it just me or is it the Germans are good when it comes to making this kind of songs/music.

[Practice Battlegrounds]

"I am Inatomi Hibiki I'll be your judge today." she said

(Both sides responded with a nod)

"This is a, joint practice match between St. Gloriana Girls College and Bovington Sandhurst Academy against Kuromorimine and Western Force University." she said

"And Salute!" she shouted

"Let's have a great match!" Both St. Gloriana and Kuromorimine bowing and saying the exact same thing at the same time, while both the British and Germans just Saluted each other

[Tank Line up W.K.U and Kuromorimine]

(As everyone was preparing for the match Jiro contacted Maho on the radio)

"Alright Maho-chan, remember your company will be defensive, use the accuracy and range of your Leopard-1A5's your Leopard-2A4's should also add on the defense as both you and Erika have the Rheinmetall 120mm gun, so use the advantages you have on your defense." he said through the radio

"Yes, Onii-sama we'll stall." she said

"I know, I trust you and your company will hold on until we complete the encirclement. Just stick to the plan, also report anything suspicious movements from them. So I can hatch a countermove against it." He added

"Of course Onii-sama." Maho replied

(Then the announcer started the countdown)

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Maaatch Start!" The announcer shouted

[St. Gloriana and Bovington line up]

"All tanks Forward" Darjeeling said in a calm manner

(As Darjeeling said that her company of tanks which was made up of one FV4201 Chieftain flanking it on both sides were 5 other tanks all of which are Centurion Mk-7's)

"Up and Atom lads!" said Nigel over the radio

(As Nigel said that his company of tanks all of which are comprised of the FV4034 Challenger Mk-2's begin to move in a spearhead formation)

[Kuromorimine and W.K.U line up]

"TANKS FORWARD!" Maho ordered 

(As Maho said that her company of two Leopard-2A4's and ten Leopard-1A5's begins to move into their designated defensive position on the map)

"Alle Panzer vorwärts!" [All Tanks Forward!] Jiro ordered

(As that happens Jiro's Company was entirely made up of ten Leopard-2A6's and Jiro's very own Leopard-2A7)

"Kommandopanzer an alle Panzer, bericht in!" [Command Tank to all Tanks, report in!] Jiro said over the radio frequency for his company

"This is VizeKommandant Otto Ludendorff, All tanks reporting and accounted for Kommandant." Otto Replied over the same frequency

"Gut, Betriebsfall gelb beginnen." [Good, Commence operation case yellow] Jiro acknowledges over the radio frequency for his company

"Jawohl Kommandant!" replied all of the other tank commanders from W.K.U

(As that happened Jiro's company of Leopard-2's sped off, leaving Maho with her company to hold the line as Jiro and his company completes the encirclement plan)

[Kuromorimine formation]

(As Maho and her company settle in their concealed defensive position, they immediately saw St. Gloriana's formation, with the Chieftain on the middle of the spear with the Centurions flanking it on both sides, what worried Maho is the absence of the Challenger MK-II's which are not present in the formation in front of them)

"Commander, what should we do?" asked Erika

(As Maho, hears Erika's question this in turn snaps her out of her thinking trance as she was thinking where could be the other British tanks are)

"All tanks, take aim and prepare to fire." she said

"Yes Commander!" The Kuromorimine girls responded

(A second later all tanks were all aimed and now made their necessary elevations and positions of their guns on St. Gloriana's formation)

(Sighing Maho knew she had to do her part of the plan, without thinking else she gave the order to fire)

"All tanks fire!" Maho said over the radio

(As Maho gave the order to fire, all of the Leopard's with hers and Erika's following gave a terrible roaring scream as they unload ten 105mm shells and two 120mm shells)

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

(Chorused the 105mm L7 guns of the Leopard-1A5's)

https://youtu.be/aTFmuMBXJnw

(Using the shell impacts from the Leopard-1A5's Maho oredered her and Erika's gunner to increase elevation as also given by their own Fire Control System and fire accordingly)

"Fire!" Maho shouted

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Blam*

(Shouted both the 120mm guns of the Leopard-2A4's with Maho's shot impacting a Centurion)

(As Maho's shot impacted one of the tanks the British made tanks just kept moving unfazed and soon started to return fire while on the move)

"All tanks return, fire." Darjeeling said

*Bang*

*Bang*

(All of the Centurion's barking with their 105mm AP rounds, soon Darjeeling's Chieftain stopped while the Centurions just continued on advancing)

"Range 1,480 yards, Load High Explosive Squash Head shell." she calmly said

"HESH loaded!" replied Orange Pekoe as she loads the HESH shell

"Aimed and ready Darjeeling-sama!" added Assam

"Fire."  Darjeeling simply said

"Firing now!" responded Assam

*Bang* (Goes the thunderous roar of the Royal Ordnance L11A5 120mm gun)
