A German's Sensha-Do

War on Pravda!

Sitting up from my desk I must've gone through atleast 4 energy drink cans and two cups of coffee. In the kitchen I made more coffee putting it into a thermos to keep it warm before leaving for school

Now off of the ship I saw the Panther fully repaired becoming the highlight of the team, the automotive club had generously applied Winterketten as well to assist in traction. It was then that I saw Yume approaching with a bag on each arm

"What's will all the bags?"

I asked

"I just brought some snacks and drinks. Wait, Sakura..."

"What"

"You have bags under your eyes, is everything ok?"

Yume replied

"Yeah everything's fine"

"How much sleep did you get last night?"

Yume asked

"8 hours"

Looking suspicious Yume climbed into the tank as a Soviet truck pulled up near our tanks, out stepped a Yume height girl with long black hair alongside a tiny blonde haired girl

"Did you deliberately prepare these tanks to make Katyusha laugh!"

The blonde chuckled to herself

Walking over I spoke for myself

"My Panther has twice the armour of your T34s and can penetrate twice as much with its cannon!"

I Remarked smugly

"How dare you challenge Katyusha! Fine then, the battle is on!"

The blonde jumped onto the other girls shoulders before looking back

"Oh Nishizumi remember to work your magic and let us win again this year!"

Now standing on our own i clambered back inside the tank as we waited for the match to begin. Taking a sip of my coffee I began to speak

"Alright Arina see if you can get orders from the commander"

"Yes Sakura-Chan"

"We still have no clue what tanks they have so remember, expect anything"

I took another sip of my coffee as we advanced towards a slope which we efficiently climbed unlike some of our teammates who had to be assisted. Atop the slope the IV used a HE shell to blast through some snow blocking our passage as we continued our advance. Soon enough we came under enemy fire from 3 T34 76s so us alongside Anglerfish team were sent to use our High Velocity cannons to take them out

Taking another sip of my coffee I closed one eye aiming at the front of the T34 I pulled the trigger watching as the Panther made quick work of it, another being taken out by the IV caused the 3rd to begin to flee as we began our pursuit I began to see the outlines of more enemy vehicles , coming to a halt I took aim taking out another T34 76 as they also begin to retreat I realised something was wrong, pulling out a history book I opened it up to the Stalingrad page

"It's a trap, they're trying to lure us into an encirclement"

I began to tell Arina but it was too late as my teammates went over the slope

"Yume hide us amongst the trees"

Soon enough we got a transmission that the rest of the team had been trapped in a building by the enemy. Taking a sip of my coffee once again I began to come up with my plan to break them out

"If we use our tank as a distraction we can bait away some of their force to make the breakout easier"

I mumbled to myself

Sitting up I opened the Cupola and took out my binoculars looking at the enemy vehicles

"Yume-Chan take notes. Two T34 76s and Two 85s are visible from this angle"

As Yume finished writing she pulled some snacks out of her bag offering them around

Still looking out of my cupola I noticed Yukari and Erwin together doing some reconnaissance. Sitting back down and closing the Cupola Yume turned the engine on to keep it warm as I drunk the last of my coffee I sat back in my chair

"Sakura what have you been drinking this whole time?"

Yume asked still suspicious

I decided to lie to avoid suspicion

"Cocoa why?"

"I was just wondering"

Asuna climbed down to the seat next to Yume to speak with her so I decide to speak with Arina

"Do you think we're gonna win Arina-Chan?"

"How would I know, it sure doesn't seem like it"

We continued speaking for what sempt like an eternity but as Arina put her headset back on she began holding a conversation with our teammates over radio where some news was revealed to us

"If we lose this match our school will be shut down!"

Arina yelled very quickly losing her usual cool followed by Asuna as me and Yume tried to sit and comfort them. Finally calming the two girls I began to explain my plan to them in a very simple way planning on reminding them later
