December 1916, somewhere in Verdun..

The western front has been in a stalemate for far too long. Verdun, one of the bloodiest fronts in the war has proven to be hell for both the Germans and the French. But lately, the French army has been on the offensive and are pushing back the Germans by the miles. But in a last ditch effort, the German army will try to take the offensive to break the French momentum.

((Y/N)'s POV)

Everyday's the same. I wake up to my usual alarm, the artillery barrages. I've barely even rest for an hour. The french just wouldn't let me sleep. Man, when will this war end anyways ? They said it would be over after a year. They said we would have Paris in a month. But after two years, i'm still in the trenches. What did i do to deserve this ?

??? : "hey (Y/N)! You still alive ?" I heard a voice calling me. I turn my head to see an old friend of mine, Peter.

Me : "Peter! I thought you died in Fort Vaux" i said jokingly. But i am surprised to see him here. Our units were separated in our last offensive.

Peter : "I won't die that easily! Come here, the General's waiting for us" he said before walking away as i followed.

Me : "are we really going to attack ?" I said as we walked through the trench. By now, it's no fit for a man to live in anymore.

Peter : "well, it looks like it"

Me : "damn, what are the higher ups thinking ? We could barely defend against the French attacks and they're expecting us to attack ? The General must be crazy"

Peter : "we have no choice, do you want to meet the firing squad ?" I gulped at that.

Me : "of course not, i just think that isn't there any better way ? Maybe a tactical retreat to and call on reserves ? If we did that, maybe we could even get the supply lines run faster. We sure need them now more than ever"

Peter : "you should be a General one day" he said as i laughed.

Me : "if i was the General, we would've taken Paris ages ago" we then both laughed as we were walking towards the underground briefing room. As we were walking in, i could see the General and other officers standing inside, discussing future strategies i assume.

Peter : "excuse me, General. You called us sir ?"

General : "ah, you're here. Major Von Steiner, Captain (L/N). The order has come. We are to attack tomorrow"

Me : "so it's true"

General : "i know what you're thinking, but this is possible. I've been discussing the plan for hours and we've found the best place to strike" he said as i walked forward to see the map laid on the table.

Peter : "what makes it a good target ?"

General : "their headquarters is quite close to their trench lines there"

Me : "so, you want to take out their commander ?"

General : "yes, it will cripple their chain of command and it will make it harder for them to coordinate a counter attack and artillery support"

Me : "hmm.... but if the headquarters are close, then wouldn't it be heavily guarded ? There must be more troops and machine gun nests there right ?"

General : "yes, and that's where you two come in" i already don't like where this is going.

Peter : "you want us to take out their headquarters ?"
