Description
Faya and the Capitan sat in the mess with everyone else. Unlike other Commanders the Capitan took the time to get to know his men. This way he could get a sense of what their strengths and weaknesses are. While others grabbed their food Faya and the Capitan started talking and laughing on past events. Soon enough some of the officers and other solders joined in. The simple eating mood then turned into a drunken party.When that happened the Capitan walked out of the mess hall. He wasn't much of a drinker but when he did drink he could drink anyone under the table. But that was for when they take Europe back. He made his way over to the tanks and climbed up on one of the Churchill tanks. The purest steel of Europe had made these icons of the European army. No one could deny that but given their mechanization of the vast majority of their army the Europeans couldn't defend too much against artillery which almost all the other superpowers could.
But then again Europe had the best trained, best equipped, and best armour which only the Shogun Empire could match. The Captain didn't have much of a problem with them as he took sword fighting lesson for when he was last over in Japan.
Faya then climbed up onto the tank and sat next to him.
“It's crazy in there, they just started a friendly brawl.” She said.
“Good it will help relieve some stress from the fight.”
“God the medic's must hate you.” she said.
“Yeah but they understand that it's a morale thing.”
Both of them lay back and looked at the stars. They couldn't deny that they where beautiful. Their eyes then drifted to each other. Caught in the moment the leaned in to kiss but just then an Intel officer came up.
“Capitan sir we're getting orders from the Grand Marshall.” he called to them.
The spy and Commander then realised what they where doing and gave nervous blushes and smiles.
“Err ha gota go.” the Capitan said getting up and climbing off the tank.
“Da.” Faya whispered.
OOOOO
The Capitan walked into the command hut and walked up to the radio and got the headset on.
“This is the Capitan awaiting orders.” he said.
“Capitan good to hear from ya. Good work on capturing a UR post.” a command said.
“Yeah real trouble getting it what's HC's orders?”
“Orders are as follower’s, not changed, you are ordered to move to Madrid while taking back any and all villages, towns and military bases.”
“Understood loud and clear.”
OOOOO
The next day the Capitan's forces began moving fast loading up equipment onto the tracks and Half tracks. Tank crews loaded up their munitions onto their vehicles as did the Air crew of the War Zeppelins. As they did the Cossacks and Cycle infantry where about to leave on scouting operations with the spy's. They had already looked at the navigational track for the main force and noticed a quite a large town nearby which the Capitan wanted to go to as it would provide for supply’s.
As they made themselves ready the Capitan and platoon officers looked over the plans they had gotten from 2nd Panzer. Some of them weren’t sure about the strategy involved on the main attack as it involved using the mobile V2 launchers to weaken the UR forces. But this would lead to building's crumbling causing streets to be blocked off for European forces. This wouldn't be too much of a problem but given that the UR are artillery and aerial experts this meant that EA forces could be trapped in a bottle neck.
Thankfully this wasn't the finalised plan so it was open to debate. But there was some conflict between the Officers about it so the Capitan decided to put it off for now. But something was bothering the Capitan he looked up at the other officers.
“Guy's be honest, what have yo heard about Junta forces in Europe.” he asked gaining all their attention.
“Vell not sure there have been rumours about Hunters but nothing other than that.” a German platoon officer said.
“Oi but command is getting a little how do you say? Skittish about the matter.” a French officer said.
There was nodding around the ma table about it and the Capitan nodded. “Ok but just be on the lookout Faya said that she saw someone in a building nearby. Holding a high powered sniper rifle, now I trust her so just be on the lookout rumour or not. We have to take it seriously, understood?”
The officers nodded in response.
OOOOO
Three days passed as the Cycle infinity and Cossacks moved up to the town to get a good look before the main force got there. The spy’s where inside the town to get as much Intel as they could. Given that the place was controlled by the UR they tended to overlook a few things and the people living there welcomed and helped the spy's as much as possible.
Faya managed to copy any accent and blend in like the other people. The Intel they managed to get was that a small force was operating in the area as there was a Soviet commander trying to push her way into Spain. Because of this there was a large UR command close by. As such the small force that was there was little more then some of the elite units of the UR.
This included G.I''s, jump troops, Mounties supplemented by field artillery several Sherman tanks and howitzers. They had no air units to help them but their numbers of squads more then made up for the for the lack of armour and airborne support.
This wouldn't be too much of a problem to handle. Faya walked back to the house she was sleeping in but as she did the sound of air craft's met her ears looking up she saw several Flying fortresses and hover platforms come in. this was followed by Federal troops marching into the town with Jeep and tank support. Faya eyes widened as an entire command group coming in.
Something was up so she went into the house fast and moved up to her room and grabbed her monitoring equipment. Looking out of the window she noticed a UR commander walking up to the main checkpoint. She pointed her equipment at him.
“Sir what are you doing back so early?” a jump trooper asked after saluting.
“We just got word the European forces are back as such the President has ordered all outposts to be reinforced to defend against the EA. We cannot lose Europe.” the UR commander said making Faya smile.
Panicking and other emotions are predictable to use against the enemy during war time and it was clear that the UR was panicking. The Capitan would be more then pleased about this news, as well as the other commanders. Even if the others found out about this it might be the best idea to put the news up on the network. She moved over to her radio and began to transmit as she did Intel officers across the EA got the message and passed it on. The push of the UR out of Europe had just begun.
