Description It took around two days for the Capitan and his forces to reach the village but the UR Intel rats found them and attacked them before they could reach the village. Thankfully the spy’s in the village sabotaged the tanks and aircraft giving advantages to the soldiers of the Alliance. The UR support and aerial focused making the Alliance forces take cover behind damaged tanks as half-tracks took out the aerial's along with flack 38's.

As the two armies fought an Alliance comm's officer Ran up to the commander's personal half-track.

“Capitan news from HC.” he yelled over the gunfire.

“What is it?” the Capitan yelled back.

“Soviet supply train is close by HC wants us to take the train.”

The Capitan gave some thought to that, some of the equipment the Alliance used similar rounds to the SU forces. This would give them an advantage in the fight against the UR

“Egon!” the Capitan yelled down the radio.

A German Stormtrooper came up fast to the half-track.

“Ya sir.”

“There a SU train near by, orders are to take it. Create a small strike force and secure the train.”

“Sir.” Egon saluted before running off.

OOOOO

Several drivers, soldiers and two combat engineers stood round a map of the immediate area these people volunteered for the task the Capitan set for them. The problem was that they where only allowed to use half-tracks and panhards to get to the area fast. They also had to give up their LMG's for the standard issue mp40's. This was going to be a close quarters battle so they needed speed and manoeuvrability over fire-power and mechanisation.

“The plan is as follovs, Istan vill take an armoured unit to the end of the tunnel here.” Egon pointed out on the map. “If the plan fails plant explosives on the rails vhen the train comes by blov it. Until that happens I vill take the rest of you onto the half-tracks that ve have and follov the train as close as ve can and jump on and take out any Soviets ve find on the train. Once ve have control ve vill contact the Capitan and Istan. This is a suicide mission if there ever is one, anyone vho vants to step out do so nov.”

Not one soldier left the tent they were in but they stood up straighter this made Egon smile.

“Ok ve are all agreed on the plan ya?” Egon asked.

There was nodding amongst them. “Good nov move out!” he yelled.

The drivers got into their vehicles as the troopers climbed onto the sides of the vehicles. Egon got onto one of the half-tracks as artillery fire came in close. That was the signal to move and fast. Istan's force moved up with the Panhards and headed north while Egons' force headed east to intercept the train. The Troop carriers moved up to the rails tracks on speed as the Soviet train came up fast. As it went passed them the Half-tracks moved up along side the train as the troopers got ready to jump.

Fear ran through the troopers as they balanced on top of the half-tracks. But they watched as Egon jumped onto the tank carriage and held onto the main gun of a flack tank as his SGT slammed against his back making him groan. One of the British regulars then jumped and landed on a bear tank with others following. However one of the Spanish Storm troopers filed to jump the distance and fell onto the ground and was ran over by a half-track.

Everyone looked away in disgust before grabbing their weapons as the half-track's pulled off.

“Ya listen up one team goes dovn that vay.” Egon said pointing down to the end of the train. “The rest follov me to the locomotive.”

The raid group split up into two teams of ten and moved in separate directions. Egon and his team made their way to the Locomotive while the others moved off in the other direction. As one of the French regulars moved into the first carriage he could hear the chattering of Russian Red Army soldiers nearby setting up something. He pulled the charging handle of his mp40 and moved up before dropping to one knee and aiming down the carriage. On the other side another regular did the same.

But before they could move any further two large 6ft grenadiers moved passed the regulars stg44's in hand. Like the others they discarded their normal weaponry for more manoeuvrable weaponry. The grenadier guards of the European forces where always large muscular people very very intimidating. Sometimes even the Russian commissars almost surrendered by the sight of these giants. As they moved up two Russian soldiers came out of cover only to be met by these tall men.

The masks that the grenadiers wore only made them more terrifying. Before they could do anything one soldier got kicked in the gut before being filled with lead. Egon helped the solder up before the team moved along.

OOOOO

Istan and his forces keep an eye on the tunnel all guns where aimed at the tunnel entrance if they couldn’t get their hands on Soviet tech they wouldn't let the Soviets get their hands on it. If they didn’t get a word from Egon they they had to destroy the engine and take whatever they could recover. As they waited one of the radio operations alerted him to something.

“Sir message from the Captain, some Republican forces are inbound to out location. They know what we are up to.” said the radio operator from one of the tanks.

“Is he sending reinforcements?” Istan asked.

“No the UR force he's up against had got some extra support form a Pathfinder division.”

Istan cursed. The UR forces favoured artillery and aircraft's above all else and where hard to counter. He took a sip from his coffee before the sounds of a train met his ears. The light in the tunnel. The tank guns aimed at it but the light was slowing down and the front of the train came into sight and stopped. Still having their guns trained on the train a large German stromtrooper came up out of the control area with a Red soldier under one arm.

“Guten tag.” he smiled.
