Description
After surviving the German ambush, Mike and his Paratroopers made their way to Fox Company's location. Reaching the area, they saw Fox's base camp filled with infantry and saw a Major directing orders. Mike approached the Major, who he heard was called Major Bernard. "Sir." Mike saluted when Bernard turned to him. "At ease, boy." Mike dropped the his hand. Before he could say anything, the Major interrupted him. "Son, you look like you've been to hell and back." He looked past the Lieutenant and saw therl rest of the Paratroopers. "And so does the rest of your men. What the hell happened to you boys?" Mike sighed "A lot of fucking Kraut ambush, sir. Its like we got a damn bounty on our heads, everywhere we go, we always get ambushed by Krauts. One way or another, they're always there." Bernard chuckled "Well, why don't you and your men get yourself fixed up by the docs and get some R&R. You deserve it." Mike raised his eyebrows "R&R? Rest and Relaxation, sir?" Bernard laughed "No boy, Reequip and Rearm." Mike chuckled softly "Will do, sir." Mike turned around and faced his men. "Alright everyone listen up, go get yourselves fixed up by the docs over there and get yourselves some weapons and ammo afterwards. Dismissed." As everyone headed to the Medic's tent, Mike and Jane saw the German Tank Commander sitting on an ammo crate. Deciding it was the best time to ask some questions, they walked towards her. "Hey... Uhh.. Lady, do you... Uhh speak English by any chance?" The Commander looked up at them and responded in fluent English "Yes sir, I do. I was wondering when you were going to ask me that." Mike and Jane were surprised. Mike took off his helmet and rubbed the back of his neck while Jane just shook her head and chuckled "Well that saves us sometime to get an interpreter, huh." Mike laughed sheepishly "Yeah." He then shook his head turned back to the woman. "So, let's have a small talk to pass the time." The woman stared at him for a second and responded "Can you please get to the point and not bother with these small talks." Mike took the hint and got to the point. "Alright, we wanna know who you are. The least you can do is answer our questions for not killing you when you were down." The woman said "My name is Sofia Friederike, I am a tank commander and my mission was to escort a convoy carrying weapons and ammunition to a town turned Wehrmacht strategic outpost. I do believe that the outpost might be near this area." Mike asked another question "What's your reason in fighting this God forsaken war?" Sofia replied "My husband was a Jew and we tried to hide it when Hitler started killing Jews left and right. When my husband was found guilty of being a Jew, I was given a choice to join the NSDAP because of my expertise in Tanks and Tank Warfare in exchange for my husband's life or don't join and my family shall share his faith. So I joined and rose up to the rank of Tank Commander." Sofia was staring at the ground, he hair covering her eyes and they saw tears fall to the ground. Jane put a comforting hand on Sofia's shoulder while Mike pulled out a photo from his pocket and placed it in her hand "I think this belongs to you." Sofia took the photo and smiled "Thank you." Mike and Jane smiled as well. Sofia turned to them and asked "I know this is too much to ask but, can I join your platoon, please? I want to fight the Wehrmacht for what they put me and my family through." Mike and Jane stared at each other, a silent conversation going on between them. Finally with a sigh and nod of his head, Mike said "You can join us. But before you join, we have to ask, can you shoot?" Sofia smiled "Yes." Mike asked "Any particular kind of weapon you can use? Like a rifle or SMG?" Sofia said "Do you have a sniper rifle?" Mike raised his eyebrows and looked to his left and saw a scoped M1903 Springfield. Mike took the weapon and presented it. "Will this do?" Sofia took the weapon and said "Yes, it will do fine." She looked at it again and turned to them. "Do you have a knife?" Jane reached for the knife in the back of her pants and it to her. Sofia took it with a nod and started putting an inscription on the right side. It read 'Zuletzt Gewinnt'. She then took of her necklace and tied it to the scope. Mike asked "What does that mean?" Sofia stared at the inscription "Last one standing wins."

After getting their R&R, Major Bernard ordered Mike's Platoon to head to the nearby bridge and set up defences on it. Bernard told them that the bridge was the only way they can go through the Wehrmacht outpost and that its also the only way the Germans use to reach their base. At the bridge, Mike ordered his men to set up two MG nests on the small walls on the side of the bridge. Once the MGs were placed, Mike ordered his two of his men to get some M9 bazookas and stick with the MG crew. Mike told Callaghan and Garfield to the same. Jane set up her MG nest by the small wall on the right side, getting a clear view of fire on the bridge. Her nest consisted of Mike with his M1A1 carbine, Sofia with her Springfield, Callaghan and Garfield with the Bazookas, and Carter with a Thompson. Jane didn't know when it started but the other MG nest started firing on the bridge, so she started firing as well. It was about 4 waves of German Infantry getting slaughtered before two Panzers showed up and blew their cover away. Jane tried to shoot with MG but it was jammed, so she took her BAR and returned fire. Mike yelled at the Bazooka Team "Callaghan! Garfield! Hobbs! Jenkins! Tear those Motherfuckers apart already!" The Bazooka Team fired the M9s, it did do some damage but not enough. Mike yelled "Hold the Line!" As the German Infantry decided to push.

The bridge part was based on a community map on CoH2 called 'Winter Warzone'.
