Valkyria Chronicles: Bundeswehr/NATO vs Valkyria

Preparations and Promotion

Koblenz (in progress of being liberated)

Main Train Station (under Siege)

Time: 1405 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the entrance to the train station, there was a collapsed glass canopy with blood pouring out of it. At the omnibus stop, several Imperial soldiers hid behind their own tanks or burnt-out double-deckers or other public buses. From the adjacent buildings, waiters, cooks, costumers, and bus drivers took cover as the unknown forces attempted to take over the station.

The last unsuccessful attempt was thwarted by several officers of the Federal Police, who are assigned to public buildings for the purpose of public display and anti-terrorism, who still keep the station, its connecting tunnels and all its platforms free. Due to the large amount of enemy armor, some officers rushed to their patrol cars and vans and blocked the main entrance and one of the main roads to the station, buying valuable time for the defenders.

The Imperials can't take advantage of their armor advantage at the moment because of the huge amount of train traffic still moving around (many of which were uninformed and thus caught off guard), and the situation around them wasn't good either, forcing some units to break contact and help their routing comrades regroup.

From now on, the police are also very accurate. They use MP5s (machine pistols) and P30s (service pistols) to punch through the body armor of the foot mobiles very effectively, bringing the advance to a halt. And the defenders would soon be relieved. As the firefight continued, Leopards, Boxers, and dismounted soldiers efficiently combed the nearby streets and blocks, pinning down the enemy force from the rear.

Soon the Leopards broke through the roadblocks, firing into the backs of enemy tanks and infantry. The siege of the main train junction was soon lifted. While this was going on, something strange was found on the outskirts of the city, near the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Glöckner, arrived at the gate to reinforce the police who had arrived a few hours earlier, they were stunned. In front of the gate were some enemy infantries, surrendering (hands behind their heads) and lined up side by side, and a platoon of medium (light) tanks. Their crews were also lined up separately, further away from the vehicles, to avoid any tension and cause for concern.

Next to them was a wreck on the road, with some paint indicating that it had once been a police car. A burnt and torn corpse was found on it. With the service pistol in his hand, it was clear that the burned body was a police officer. Nearby, in the ditch, were the torn parts of another policeman, apparently shredded by a machine gun.

As the convoy dispersed, with Boxers, Pumas, and Leopards all pointing their barrels and rifles at the structure, the accompanying infantry asked questions as if it were the end of the world.

Glöckner approached the structure, took off his glasses, cleaned them, put them back on and spoke. "What is this piece of sh*t?" This caused some of his soldiers to stop murmuring and laugh at his bluntness. Conversely, the captured enemy soldiers were furious.

"You barbarian! This is the Gate! Built by the Valkyrian for the righteous descendants!"

"You will see that we will not bow to you!"

That last sentence was a literal oxymoron, but no one bothered to correct those who were currently running their mouths. "With the slaves of the extermination camp on the other side, we will be ready in less than a month. Then we will send more than you know. We were just the vanguard." This stunned the German soldiers.
