The 1st Victory
Asha and her troops stared in Awe at the British Carrier which held St Gloriana and the British 4th tank division under General Falcon.
Asha knew their chances were slim. The one reassurance she got was that St Gloriana's commander Darjeeling often preferred fair fights so she knew at least miho would not have much trouble with The British tanks. However that was only in the Sensha-do arena. St Gloriana had an air force contingent and support tanks that would aid the Infantry's advance the only thing they lacked was artillery which St Gloriana had very little of.
"Mam they are waiting for you." Captain Suzume says snapping Asha out of her thoughts.
"Thank you Captain I'll be right there." Asha says dawning on her officer's hat and coat. Their command area was mostly made up of tents which were organised into groups so her officers would be more organized with their men.
The sight of 5 Artillery cannons would be impressive If They had more tanks to go with the guns and the troops to boot. They only had 2'000 men and while the British had the same number of troops they packed more fire power then them.
After walking for a few more minutes Asha eventually came up to where the tanks for Ooarai were. After taking a minute to find where Miho and momo were Asha jogged up to them.
"So the great Tigress of the west shows her face finally." The British general Says mockingly.
"Very funny Falcon don't you have some tea and crumpets to prepare elsewhere. Cause last time I checked a battle field was for warriors not tea servers." Asha replies sass dripping into her words.
"Why you little." Falcon says reaching for his pistol but was Cut off by his Commander
"General compose yourself." Darjeeling orders a small smile on her face
"Yes mam." Falcon growls.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries both teams went to their starting positions. Lieutenant Shuichi immediately took his men and an artillery cannon up ahead to prepare the ambush. Meanwhile Miho was moving her tank into position to act as bait While Koume and Suzume organized the defence of the ridge.
Asha was taking the remaining troops to the Carrier town itself so they could turn it into a formidable defensive position.
"Mam we only have 4 artillery Cannons and 12 machine guns to man a defense of the town where should we put them."
Asha glanced around the town thinking about where she could put her men to do the most damage but then an idea hit her.
"Order 2 companies to head to the plain about 2 miles north of the carrier they are to dig in and camouflage themselves and the cannons. With any luck they can drain St Gloriana's manpower a little bit before they get here."
"How can you be certain that they will come this way mam."
Asha smiled at the young officer. "Simple yesterday I talked to miho about a backup plan in case the main one fails. She told me that when their current position is overwhelmed they will retreat here and our cannons are being placed right where the British will come marching through."
The officer smile das well seeing the plan in his head." I see and the camouflage is so that British aerial reconnaissance can't report the troops waiting for them."
"exactly now get into position Sargent."
(POV Miho).
Our tank advanced a good 6 miles before we came to a stop. I jumped out of the tank along with yukari binoculars in hand.
"I can see 14 Matilda 2s and a single Churchill all advancing."
"It looks like most of the Matildas are covering the infantry who seems to be spread out in regiment formation." Yukari says pointing to the small groups of marching troops.
"Indeed I don't think we can't risk a direct Attack or else things will go bad for us."
"Agreed."
As they were watching large clouds of dust started appearing.
"What the." Miho says glancing around trying to the source.
"There look." Yukari says gesturing to a small ride on the British Right flank.
Sure enough Miho spotted the troop sunder Shuichi's command attack the British however one thing was wrong.
"They weren't supposed to attack this quickly they will be more warry now that they are alert to our presence."
"Should I contact Captain Suzume to prepare our men for immediate attack."
"Yes warn her that the enemy tanks will most likely be in the front shielding the Infantry."
When Suzume was contacted regarding the enemy location and formation she immediately became concerned.
Immediately she and Koume began to organize a hasty defense.
When the British Finally arrived Koume ordered the machine guns to mow them down only problem with that was that the enemy infantry was using their tanks as shields.
eventually after the loss of rabbit team and the student council Suzume ordered their men to withdraw width the panzer 4 and stug and Type 89.
Hasashi volunteered to remain behind with his men to buy time for the others to escape with their men.
It was a shock to see 600 men running towards the Carrier but Asha quickly snapped out of her shock and ordered her men to prepare for enemy attack.
(British POV).
Darjeeling was often described as calm collected commander but right now for those who knew her well the only word that they could put on her was furious.
Darjeeling was quietly Livid with Falcon Not only had he disobeyed her orders and ordered a frontal attack on the Ooarai carrier that costed them another 200 losses. But his reckless handling of the support tanks had severely hammered their usefulness they only had 4 support tanks left and the Sensha do team to hunt for Ooarai's remaining troops.
Currently she was driving along one of Ooarai's Side streets with another Matilda and 30 soldiers.
"Does anyone have contact with the enemy?"
'Negative commander we lost sight of them wait a second." The mic cut off as gunfire replaced the mans voice.
"WERE UNDER ATTACK IN SECTOR B7."
"THIS IS TANK 3 AND 7TH COMPANY WE'VE BEEN KNOCKED OUT."
"THIS IS TANK 2 WE'VE LOST OUR SUPPORT UNITS AND WE ARE BEING HUNTED BY SOLDIERS WITH PANZERFAUSTS."
Darjeeling was shocked she had assumed Ooarai and it's troops would not be this well equipped but despite their lack of fire power they were putting up a fight.
(Earlier).
when the Sensha-do tanks entered the town Asha immediately had 4 of her men take down the stugs flags an action Erwin was not happy about.
"Colonel what are you doing." Erwin demanded with a face of fury.
"Simple I'm turning your tank into a mobile assault gun that won't stand out gotta problem with that." Asha says giving Erwin a look that dared her to challenge her orders.
"NO mam no problem at all." Erwin said with fear on her face.
(Present).
due to those changes the stug was the ultimate hunting dog. Often times it would fire, lure the enemy to a waiting squad and then disappear.
Falcon was livid that every time he organized his men they were scattered. They did eliminate the type 89 but the stug and panzer 4 were still on the lose along with 360 of Asha's soldiers.
"Sir all our support tanks are gone and the Air group can't provide cover."
"I DON'T CARE ORDER OUR MEN TO FIND THAT PANZER 4 AND STUG AT ALL COSTS I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT STUPID COLONEL AND HER MEN."
It proved to be a big mistake Asha's men constantly ambushed the advancing British and Further more they were also hunting Darjeeling and her tank.
"Mam The last Matilda is gone were on our own." Assam says turning to Darjeeling worry evident on her face.
"Tell falcon to pull back so we can escape the town before we are eliminated."
"I've been trying to mam but He's not responding."
Darjeeling was no even more furious. She swore that when they were done this battle she would sack falcon.
eventually Asha's men reported Darjeeling's position to miho and Darjeeling was quickly hunted down and knocked out.
Once the white flag pooped up Miho looked at it smiling at her first true victory.
