Chapter 1: A Golden discovery
Miho and Yukari entered the barn with the German colonel where they it show many American soldiers who were surprisingly almost all Japanese girls that looked like they had all just graduated from high school not that long ago. One of them was on the radio arguing with who ever she was talking to and on her sleeves of her uniform she had the rank of Master Sergeant and was wearing a monocle on her right eye.
She was Master Sergeant Momo Kawashima, the leader of the group that was currently holding out against the Germans around the barn they were in.
(This is what Momo looks like...Just picture her in the Uniform.)
"No that's map section 3 not 4." Momo argued. "I Don't give a damn what command says about anything!" It sounded like she wasn't having a pleasant conversation on whoever was on the other side of the radio. "Look Mulligan I don't think I'm getting through to you, your dropping your damn barrage on our position."
"Sit and see." Miho told the German colonel as she poked him with her M1A1 Thompson SMG.
"You cant hear me?.... THE REASON YOU CANT HEAR ME IS BEACUSE YOUR FIRING A MORTAR AT YOUR END AND THEYRE DROPPING OVER HERE AT OUR END!" Momo yelled into the radio. "NO THE KRAUTS ARE NOT HERE! WERE HERE!" Momo then looked to her left to see both Miho and the German colonel looking at her waiting for her to finish her argument with Mulligan. "MULLIGAN YOUR BOMBS ARE COMING DOWN ON OUR HEADS! I DONT KNOW WHERE THE KRAUTS ARE, JUST LIFT YOUR GOD DAMN BARRAGE OVER!"
Momo then threw the radio speaker and headset away and then turned to look at Miho and the colonel. "I thought I told you to bring me some good looking kid, not this fat sausage chewing Rhino."
"Well, if you were looking for a young boy you should have set somebody else Momo." Miho said as she walked over to a small table where she put down her Thompson and grabbed a metal mug and a kettle of hot coffee. She was about pour some coffee into her mug when the sound of a mortar then whistled through the sky above and then exploded somewhere on the ground near the barn making Miho turn her mug upside down to avoid getting dust inside it. The colonel also covered his head when the mortar hit. Then a couple seconds later another one came down near the barn as well.
"Mulligan, you son of a B*tch." Momo muttered. The all of a sudden the front door to the barn then slammed open to reveal yet another Japanese woman. This one had short black hair and wore glasses over her eyes her name was Oryou.
"Hey Momo! It looks like they're trying to push up the canal!" Oryou yelled.
"And what do you want me to do about it Oryou?" Momo yelled back.
"The half-tracks being wiped out!" Oryou started. "And many has been hit!"
"Okay...Corporal go see what's happening." Momo ordered. "Hana, Saori go with corporal Job, ON THE DOULBE!"
(This is Corporal Job...)
(This is Hana...)
(And this is Saori...)
Hana and Saori then got up from where they were resting and got their gear on.
"Come Saori lets go." Hana said as she put on her Helmet and got her guns,
"Right behind you Hana." Saori replied getting up from the wooden box she was sitting. "God, I wish it wasn't rain, I just styled my hair."
"You can style it later." Hana said. "Now come on!" Saori groaned at that last sentence.
The 2 girls then followed Corporal Job to outside the barn to check how the situation was going outside the barn. The after they were heading out the door the Brown haired girl sitting in the jeep named Yuzu picked up the radio and started talking to Mulligan.
"Hey, Momo?" Yuzu asked getting Momo's attention.
"What?" Momo questioned.
"Its Mulligan." Yuzu said.
"ITS MULLIGAN WHAT THE HELL DOES HE WANT?" Momo asked furiously.
"He says he's sorry." Yuzu replied calmly.
"Sorry son of a b*tch." Momo groaned as she walked over to the coffee pot to get a drink.
"Mulligan, Momo's a little upset right now I think you should leave town...get out of the neighborhood...right." Yuzu said as she checked to make sure Momo wasn't looking. Momo had just poured some coffee into her metal mug.
"Does he speak English?" Momo asked as she put the coffee pot down and drank some coffee.
"Yeah he's a colonel in intelligence." Miho answered as she sat down. Momo then spit some of her coffee as it tasted bad.
"Yeah?" Momo asked as she walked over to the colonel. "Well colonel if your a big boy with German intelligence you would be able to tell us about Nancey right?"
"Under the Geneva convention you are only asked abo-." The colonel started.
"SIT DOWN!" Momo yelled and the colonel did so. "I'm not interested in defenders I'm interested in Hotels, are there any still standing?"
"There are 3." He answered. "2 are defended by units of 3rd-"
"Which is the most comfortable?" Momo asked.
"I don't know." The colonel replied in confusion.
"Hey look, you got to think of us like tourist, I don't want any military information I just want to know the best Hotel okay?" Momo asked.
"I think it is called the Majestic." The colonel answered.
"Whose the owner?" Momo asked.
"I cant remember his name." The colonel replied.
"Alright, alright." Momo sighed. "Check the guide."
"Now what about Women?" Momo asked. That question made the German Colonel jump a little.
"Women I must warn you that the German army is preparing a counter-attack and Nancy-" He said before he got cut off.
"Sit down." Momo told him. "Look, were not worried about the German army we got enough troubles of our own; to the right General Patton, to the left the British army, To the rear our own goddamn artillery and besides all that its raining and the only good thing to say about the weather it keeps our air-corps from blowing us all to hell cause its too lousily to fly! OKAY?"
"Yeah, okay..." The German colonel replied.
"Okay." Momo said. "Now, what about the broads in Nancy?"
"Broads?" The colonel asked.
"The Women!" Momo reminded him.
"Yes uh...there's a house uh...I can not give you the direction I've never been there." The colonel replied.
"Hey here it is Nancy." Yuzu said as she read the guide book. "Principle attractions blah blah blah blah blah blah." Yuzu then named a few of the attractions until Momo had heard enough.
"WILL YOU CUT THE CULTURE CRAP AND GET TO THE HOTELS?!?!" Momo shouted. Yuzu then pointed to the section of Nancy hotels in the book.
"Majestic Hotel, 3 stars, A knife and a fork" Yuzu replied.
"Beautiful." Momo said. "I think we going keep this guy until we get to Nancy, we can use him when we get to town." Then the door behind the group opened to reveal another Japanese girls with red hair tied into 2 pony tails and looked a lot younger then some of the other girls present.
(This is Anzu...)
"Momo! Momo!" Anzu called out.
"What do you want Red Anzu?" Momo asked.
"The Captain wants to see you." Anzu answered. Momo Muttered underneath her breath as seeing the captain was never a good thing.
"I'll be right with you." Momo said as she grabbed her Thompson.
"What should I do Momo?" Yuzu asked.
"Stay on the radio." Momo answered.
"Hey Momo I think we better send him back for interrogation." Miho suggested gesturing towards the German Colonel.
"Hey look Miho nobody's copping out of this, you understand?" Momo said. "The Colonel serves a more strategic purpose by staying with us, if he needs interrogating then you do it right here."
Momo then walked out of the Barn with Anzu following close behind. Leaving the rest of the group in the barn.
"Hey Momo do me a favor will you?" Anzu asked as the 2 entered outside in the rain.
"What's that?" Momo asked.
"Don't call me 'Red'." Anzu requested.
"That's the color of your hair is it not?" Momo asked.
"Well...yeah, just don't call me red." Anzu complained.
"I'll think about it, now come on!" Momo said as she pushed Anzu in front of her and the 2 ran off to where the Captain was.
Back in the barn meanwhile Miho had cut the hand-cuff chain off the bag the German colonel was carrying and began to search through it. She then found a large stack of papers in the bag and pulled them out and began to read over them.
"What are these colonel?" Miho asked.
"Just my orders and letters of Transport." The colonel answered.
"Erwin!" Miho called out. "What are you transporting?"
"Files." The colonel replied.
"What kind of Files?" Miho asked.
"Clerical." The colonel replied.
"Clerical, huh?" Miho said. "Mind telling me what you were doing in this area?"
"I needed petrol for my trucks." The colonel answered. "The bombing--Trucks won't move without petrol." Then a big expulsion when off dangerously close to the barn and the 2 jumped a little when it went off. Just then another Japanese girl walked up to Miho who had short blonde hair and was probably the person Miho called for and her name was Erwin.
(This is Erwin....)
"What do you want Miho?" Erwin asked.
"Interpret these for me will you?" Miho asked as she handed her the files and as she did that Miho also picked up a heavy object from the bag wrapped in a paper and she unwrapped it. "What are these?"
"Lead bars." The German colonel said.
"Lead?" Miho asked.
"Y-yes that bag was supposed to be dropped in the water in case of capture." The colonel stuttered. "Unfortunately, you surprised me." Miho then smirked at this and then looked at the bar again as Erwin told Miho what the papers talked about.
"All these papers are about some kind of convoy from France to Germany." Erwin started but as she kept reading Miho noticed a small line of gold in the bar telling Miho that the bar she was holding was pure gold. "Code name is Tannenbaum, Travel reports are a shipment of--"
"That's enough." Miho said as she grabbed the papers away from Erwin.
"Thanks a lot." Erwin said grubby and walked away. Miho then turned her attention back to the German Colonel.
"Come with me Colonel." Miho said and then walked over to Yuzu who was sitting in the command jeep. "Yuzu hand me the Brandy will you please?"
"What for?" Yuzu asked.
"Just give me the Brandy." Miho ordered.
"Okay fine." Yuzu said and handed the bottle of Brandy to Miho who then dragged the colonel over to a wooden box for him to sit on.
"Sit here colonel." Miho stated. "I want you to have a drink."
"Under the Geneva convention--"
"This isn't Geneva Colonel I just want to have a nice talk with you is all." Miho stated as she pulled the colonel a drink and then handed the cup to him.
"Fine, but I wont be telling you any more information." the colonel said.
"Just drink already." Miho said and force to cup to his mouth.
With Momo and Anzu meanwhile...
Momo and Anzu made it to a small wooden cabin and Anzu was about to open the door until Momo stopped her.
"You idiot cover me!" Momo said as she put her back against the right side of the door as Anzu aimed her M1 Garand at the doorway. "Mitchell? *Primes Her M1A1 Thompson* Mitchell?"
"Yeah?" A voice said from the other side.
"Its Momo." Momo answered. The door then opened to reveal an American soldier and Momo walked inside after she ordered Anzu to stay put outside. "Where is he?"
"Inside there." The soldier said. Momo then walked in the cabin to reveal a Yacht sitting in a indoor dock with its inside lights on.
"Captain?" Momo asked.
"Yeah who is it?" A voice came from in the Yacht.
"It's me Momo where are you?!" Momo asked and the curtain of the yacht open to reveal a US Army captain inside the Yacht. (This guy)
"I'm in here." The Captain said.
"What are you doing in there sir?" Momo asked.
"Checking out the Motor." The captain answered.
"The motor?" Momo question. "What for?"
"Were pulling out of this sector and I am checking to see if this boat is worth taking back to base." The captain said.
"Pulling out? What about Nancy?" Momo questioned.
"3rd army is taking over." The captain said. "We go in reserve when they take Nancy we go back to the line."
"WHAT!? I don't think you have faith in your troops here Captain!" Momo Snapped. "Look this is a beautiful Town with a bunch of Friendly Broads and men, Great restaurants, Feather beds with clean hot water. Look Captain we have been rained on, pushed on, bombed on, mortared on by Mulligan all the way from the Normandy beach head!"
"I am aware of that problem Sergeant." The captain reasoned as he went back to looking over the boat.
"Really? You've been aware of that problem ever since we got out of the war at Omaha!" Momo argued. "Look Captain why is it that every time we come to a town like Nancy its these guys with the clean uniforms and ties that get to walk in there and make it there victory?"
"The General says we pull out so we pull out." The captain said as he made his way to the insides of the yacht.
"Oh Captain you can't let them do this!" Momo argued. "I need to get my troops here some other girls to talk to and maybe some boys they can make boyfriends with both they start freaking out with one another!"
"I am aware of that situation sergeant, do you think I can get this in the hull of a b-17?" The captain asked.
"Were the point section of the whole damn army NACNY IS OUR TOWN!" Momo shouted.
"MOMO!" the other soldier shouted.
"WHAT?!" Momo replied.
"Anzu said she spotted a company of German's-"
"RELAX I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU!" Momo cut him off and followed the captain out of the boat. "Look captain we have everything figured out we even got a guide all we have to do is get in there!"
"Yeah, well there is a couple German division around here that says you can't." The captain said.
"Okay so we need a little help." Momo said.
"Look sergeant the only help I need is to get this yacht out of here, now you head back to the barn and I will get the engineers to do it myself." The captain said.
"Look captain you are suppose to be in charge of this outfit!" Momo reminded him.
"Well your doing such a good sergeant why would I get in your way?" The captain asked and walked away leaving a very angry Momo Muttering to herself.
Back to the barn....
Scene cuts to 2 girls sitting in a M-3 half-track with an anti-tank gun on the top just relaxing as the one in the driver seat was huming along to the flute music coming from the other girl sitting in the passenger seat. The girl sitting in the Caesar and the girl in the passenger seat playing the flute was named Saemonza. Then Corporal Job then walked up to the 2 with a task for them.
(This is Caesar)
(This is Saemonza)
"Hey Caesar, Saemonza there has been a report of 3 tanks coming up the road I suggest you get activated." Job said. But Caesar look over at the corporal and was still listening to Saemonza's music.
"Hey Saemonza stop the music for just a second I think the corporal is trying to tell us something." Caesar said and Saemonza stopped playing. "I'm sorry what did you say Corporal?"
"I said there are 3 tanks coming up the road I suggest you get activated." Job said again.
"Oh come on, don't you have any Shermans?" Caesar asked. "We spent 2 days cleaning the anti-tank gun on here and if we take it out in the rain it will get dirty again."
"Oh don't give me a hard time, just get out there and get rid of those tanks!" Job ordered.
"YES SIR, we wont let you down corporal!" Caesar replied with pride. "We'll get rid of those tanks for you isn't that right Saemonza?"
"You know it they don't stand a chance!" Saemonza added as Caesar drove the Half-track backwards out a set of barn doors with the 2 evil laughing all the way. However as Corporal Job watched the 2 leave he noticed Yuzu arguing with someone on the radio not having a good time with artillery shells coming down all around the barn.
"YES, YES!" Yuzu yelled before throwing away her helmet and radio headset to the side.
"Are they sending up anything to support us?" Job asked.
"They said they don't got anything we have been ordered to hold!" Yuzu replied and a big explosion went off close by.
"Hold with what?!" Job asked.
"That's what I told them!" Yuzu said and then jumped seats to look at Job better. "You think we better pull out?"
"What?" Job asked.
"You think we better pull out?" Yuzu asked again.
"Well...we better wait for Momo." Job replied. As more Artillery shells came raining down from above.
"Corporal, those aren't Mulligans mortars coming down any more those are German 88s." Yuzu explained. "As much as I like Momo I don't want to spend the rest of the war in a POW camp as a 1st generation Japanese they would shoot me as a trader, the indication is the Germans are coming and we aren't gonna stop them, now with your permission I am going to pull the command jeep to the other side of the canal."
Job then thought about the position they were in and quickly concluded that they would be over run if they didn't pull out.
"Alright do it!" Job said as Yuzu jumped in excitement and started putting up the fabric roof on the jeep as Job ordered everyone in the Barn to pack up to pull out. "ALRIGHT EVERYONE WE ARE PULLING OUT ON THE DOULBE! *blows his whistle.*" Then as everyone in the unit was packing up Caesar and Saemonza came flying back into the barn in crashing into a wooden post. "GOD DAMN IT CAESAR!"
"Corporal I don't know where you got that information there isn't 3 tanks out there there's about 20 of them isn't that right Saemonza?" Caesar said as Saemonza nodded.
"Get that thing over to the other side of canal now!" Job ordered.
"Well were going to do that anyway!" Caesar said and then drove the Half-track out another set of barn doors to drive to the other side of the canal. Yuzu meanwhile had finished putting the roof on the command jeep and noticed Miho was still with the colonel sitting down.
"KELLY WERE PULLING OUT YOU COMING?" Yuzu asked getting in the Jeep.
"You go on ahead." Miho replied.
"Alright!" Yuzu said.
"Move it out!" Job shouted and Yuzu drove the jeep behind another half-track and drove to the other side of the canal. Miho meanwhile was left alone with the German colonel who was muttering to himself as he was drunk. Miho then used her right foot to make the colonel sit up straight to face her.
"Colonel do you know how many more bars of gold you have in your trucks?" Miho asked but the German said some random Gibberish that Miho didn't understand. "Speak English please."
"Ugh...14...uh." The colonel muttered.
"14 what?" Miho asked.
"Thousand." The colonel finished. Miho then had the look of Shock on her face and what the colonel said.
"14 thousand?" Miho asked herself. "Is the gold still in your trucks?" The colonel tried to look at Miho straight but couldn't.
"Nien...it...is..." The colonel replied drunk.
"Where is the whereabouts of the gold?" Miho asked grabbed the colonel by his collar. "Where is the gold?!"
"ugh...Clermont...uuuhhh...in a Bank." the colonel responded. Miho then knew that the town of Clermont was just 25 mile east of Nancy but it had to be defended by some German units.
"What about support units colonel?" Miho asked but the colonel was starting to fall asleep slowly and Miho shook him up. "TANK'S Colonel tanks!"
"Ugh...3....tiger tanks..." The colonel answered and then fell down on the ground asleep. Miho then looked at him as she had more to ask him.
On the other side of the canal...
Momo came running to the group of vehicles that looked like they were ready to leave at a moments noticed. Momo then stopped by the command jeep to info them of what the captain said.
"What's going on here?" Momo asked Yuzu.
"We've be ordered to hold!" Yuzu answered.
"This whole thing was over an hour ago!" Momo said. "Were pulling out of here!"
"Where is the Captain?" Corporal Job asked.
"That idiot captain is salvaging a Yacht!" Momo answered.
"A Yacht!?" Yuzu asked.
"A Yacht!" Momo answered.
"I see you 10 miles down the road!" Yuzu said.
"WAIT, is everyone across?!" Momo asked.
"Miho is still with the Colonel over in the barn!" Job answered.
"Did you tell her were pulling out?!" Momo asked.
"We told her! She is crazy!" Yuzu answered.
"TELL MULLIGAN TO GIVE ME 3 MINUTES AND THEN HE CAN MORTAR THE HELL OUT OF THIS POSITION!" Momo ordered and then ran off to the barn on the other side.
"YOU GOT IT!" Yuzu yelled back and then got on the radio. Momo meanwhile ran as fast as she could to the barn to get Miho out of there. When she got there however she saw Miho sitting the colonel back on a wooden box.
"MIHO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Momo asked furiously. "HALF THE GERMAN ARMY IS COMING UP THE ROAD AND IN A FEW MINUTES MULLIGAN IS GOING TO BOMB THE HELL OUT OF THIS PLACE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I am looking after the colonel that's what!" Miho answered back grabbing the Black bag the colonel had and her Thompson.
"Well shoot him and lets get out of here!" Momo ordered.
"We shoot him we don't get the gold!" Miho argued.
"What gold?" Momo asked.
"It is in a town about 25 east of Nancy." Miho answered and then the sound of Mortars could be heard firing and coming down near the barn.
"MULLIGAN I SAID 3 MINUTES!" Momo shouted. "Come on Miho!" The 2 then started dragging the colonel to the bridge and they made it to the start of the bridge before one of the Mortar shell came down on the barn making the 2 lose their balance and fell down at the start of the bridge as the barn came down in flames. Momo got back up from the blast and made sure Miho was okay.
"MIHO ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Momo asked.
"Yeah I'm okay!" Miho replied.
"Lets get out of here!" Momo shout the 2 then left the colonel on the other side and they ran to the jeep to get out of there. Miho then looked back to see the German colonel get shot by a machine gunner from a tiger tank and was killed. "MIHO COME ON WE ARE LEAVING!"
Miho then got into the command jeep and the rest of the unit drove off as fast as they could into the darkness back to base. While on the way back to base Miho then began to think of a plan to get the gold.
'14,000 bars of gold could make a nice raise.' Miho thought to herself and began making a plan.
