The Long Night

June 22 2003

Ironblood, North Frontline

It was eerily quiet on the frontline as Ironblood Soldiers were manning their Machine Gun Nest and Bunkers that have been camouflaged and a long line of trench with Soldiers taking cover.

These Fortifications were all made of cement to ensure that the Separatist wouldn't be able to knock all of their defenses in a possible attack.

And with Artillery and Air Support on their side, it would be a massacre if the Separatist attempted a daring attack, which they were doing right now as Tirpitz watched their movement from a drone which was very effective as they were able to get Soldiers on areas that can exploit any Separatist Weakness once the battle started.

Without the Separatists, knowing their fate has already been sealed, the death of many of their troops and the battle that will decide the Civil War.

...........

In one of the bunkers in the defense line, Ironblood Soldiers moved many ammo crates for the machine gun as well as others moving to take their positions.

After a few hours, they were ready to defend and hold their ground against the upcoming assault of the Separatist.

Tirpitz was also on the frontline, who was continuously giving orders while she was controlling the drone watching at the approaching armored column of the Separatist.

"Begin the Bombardment on Killzone Area 1 and 2" Tirpitz said in the radio, which was immediately heard by the Artillery Divisions, who have finished setting up their position. "Yes, General Tirpitz, On its way."

The Artillery Divisions alongside the Mortar and Artillery positions near the frontline opened fire on Area 1 and 2, which were designated kill zones for the Artillery.

...........

An Armored column of tanks and trucks were making its way to assault the Ironblood Defense in the night, which they possibly have the advantage at.

Almost all reserves and tank divisions will be used for this offensive led by Hindenburg, which they plan to approach simultaneously to overcome the defenses and make their way to berlin.

As the armored column moved, not realizing that they were in the kill zone of the Artillery, which they realized too late.

"Hahahah, our forces will crush those of Ironblood!!" A soldier who was riding on one of the tanks said."But we can't underestimate them truly," a soldier seated next to him said.

With Pershing Tanks and other tanks on the moving column, nothing could be wrong that they will absolutely win the battle.

When suddenly the tank ahead exploded, killing those nearby, it sent panic to the rest of the soldiers who ran to avoid the incoming Artillery fire, but unfortunately.

Impact of many Artillery as well as Submunitions that spread out to iflict casualties on the Separatist Infantry while the armored column where subsequently annihilated.

Leaving behind the once tank divisions now in ruins with their crew dead and they haven't reach the defense line which were littered with mines and barbwire.

Hindenburg, on the other hand, was not informed of this as the infantry kept the offensive with little tanks. They had to assault the defense line that Ironblood built against them.

Without proper communication on what's happening, Hindenburg didn't realize that almost all of the tank divisions were annihilated and only a few tanks survived.

.........

As the Artillery Barrage kept on their objective, Tirpitz issued an order for the Artillery to target the Back Line, which is where probably the Reserves were waiting while the Mortars kept on hitting targets on the safety of mortar nest which they operate from and manned by Ironblood Soldiers whom have received training from their German Counterparts.
