National anthem of two nation play in the morning as they rise their flags, one is a blue flag with white and red stripes in cross shape. The other one is tri-color flag with blue white and red in orders. Soldiers of foreign nationality now reside in Mu. Mu soldiers also coming over to watch these mens train or train with them.
United Kingdom and France became known for their help in taking care of training the new set of troops.
"Hey mate, have you heard about the news?" One British man ask the French man.
"Oh yeah! It the war isn't it?" French man replies by speaking English.
"Absolutely right, you know we might get drag into this one"
"..Hm, what is the point of us going to war? There's no one to fight for, we got no home to protect. I can't even go back and see Paris again.."
"Don't be so dramatic, it the people of this country that we must fight for. Even if we got no homeland to protect, we still got this place to protect"
"You're right.. but, i still hold true to my words"
"About Paris... Then you're not alone here, I can only look at my hometown through a picture.. I'd be damned, I can't even talk with my family. The closest thing to home is this place, West Berlin is no more"
The Berlin wall was finally torn down, unlike the event in our world. This time Berlin was united under socialist rules, last bastion of democracy in Europe is gone.
"So wanna get some wine?" French man ask the British.
"Oh heck yeah" British man happily replies.
Location: Mt. Bertha, Republic of Mu
24th July, 1633, 7:00 AM
Under the snow field of Mount Bertha, Mu military base stand firm in these coldness. Men hurrying to organize their supplies of weapon, many more work is happening.
"Well shit.." Gedsur, member of intel branch mumbled to himself.
He rush toward the command room to report the horrible news.
"General! Pardon my intrusion!" He open the door.
"What is it?" General Vega ask him.
"We got report from the reconnaissance that Gra Valkans division is moving through the mountain.."
"..Are they crazy? Moving through Bertha like this?"
"Yes sir"
"Fine, we will make a defensive line around the mountain. You can go now"
Gedsur salute and take his leaves. Vega couldn't believe it, Gra Valkans really moving through this harsh snowy mountain. He couldn't predict their actions like this, it should take the opposing forces some times before they reach this part of the mountain. The worst part about this mountain is climbing it up, Mu did learn the hard way once. That why they get the idea of settling a base here.
Outside the HQ, flare launcher was fired. Bright light shine through the morning skies, it a signal to begin attacking. Another flares was fired from spot to spot and finally the last flare reach the frontline. Mu hidden anti-tank gun, Model 3 "Higmont" steady themselves.
"..No one there yet"
"Of course! Who the hell would climb this Mountain that fast?"
They wait still for some moment, Gra Valkans aircraft flies over their head and attack the exposed fortification. It just like what were expecting. Gra Valkans will send off an aircrafts first to launch a surprise attack on them, it would had worked but unfortunately for them, this time Mu army came prepared.
"Come on.."
"Hey, don't rush. You see that?"
The man hand his binoculars to him. Looking at the direction he is pointing, he can see some mist occuring in the far landscape of this mountain.
"They are still so far away" He said.
Putting his hand on the guy shoulder, telling him he shouldn't rush. Time may not be waiting for them but they will definitely wait for their enemies. Loader put an Armor-Piercing rounds into the chamber, the gun is now fully loaded. 2 hours has passed. Gra Valkans doesn't seem to be any close to them soon, the aircraft still flying around the air and still is chase off by Mu fighter as usual.
Smoke came out everytime they breathe, that the harsh freezing temperature of Mt. Bertha in play, if someone got lost, no one will be brave enough to rescue them. Hour after hour, they wait silently with 20 more anti-tank gun all over the field, hidden. One man already got a glimpse of Gra Valkans vehicle but it still very far out. It been 5 hours since the flare was fired, they all are tired of waiting but if they slack off only for a little it could mean life or death situation.
Looking through the scope and out, repeating the same action. Looking through binoculars and out then repeat. Gra Valkans vehicle seem to get more and more closer.
"Finally.." He mumbled.
"Everybody, ready for combat" officer said through the radio.
They sit tight, Gra Valkans vehicles is now in visual range. He align the crosshair with the target and fire. Gra Valkans vehicles stop right in it's track, the other guns start firing in order. They took out the lead vehicles, they can see the panic in Gra Valkans lines, vehicles blocking each other exit as another one got destroys.
Mu anti-tank guns then fire at the rear vehicles, destroys it in the process. Now the column is trap on that narrow passageway. Infantry run out of the Type-89 GCV in an attempt to escape, the vehicles infront of them also burst into flame. Gra Valkans tank start firing at the anti-tank gun direction, Mu return fire however. The AP round ricochet off the tank.
"Huh..?" He flabbergasted.
"That's some strong armor right there"
He fire again, the AP round hit it right in the track, immobilizing it. The tank fire, the shell impact a snow near them and covered the optics of the anti-tank gun.
"Oh god.. can someone go change the optic?" The gunner ask.
Nobody volunteer, if they go out they would be as good as dead meats.
"Blind fire it is"
Despite losing visual, he still fire. One by one Gra Valkans vehicles got destroyed. In matter of hours the convoys of 35 vehicles was wiped out and the heavy tank was captured.
Gra Valkas Southern front HQ, 3:00 PM
Sound of typewriter and other equipment at work echo through the building. Two mans command the entire front but now they are frustrated.
"We lost contact with armored convoys?" General Tasae question.
"Yes sir"
"..I knew it, moving through the mountain was a bad idea"
The attempt of moving through Mt. Bertha is for them to launch a surprise attack on Mu from behind the line and result in the great encirclement. However this does not work as planned.
"What about the situation of our 8th Infantry regiment?"
"They are currently engaging the enemies at Kilewa. Colonel Gushin said that there are nothing to worry about"
"Very well. Send out 64th Combat group to reinforce the assault of Harunagakyo"
"Understood!"
Kilewa fields, 3:25 PM
Gra Valkans relentlessly assault Muish line and push them into running like a dogs. Mu forces reorganize at Dilemma fortress and begin to hold out Gra Valkans forces. For day without rest the 8th Infantry regiment fight like monster and so does Mu. Scattered across the plain is corpses and wreckage of vehicles.
Officer blow his whistle, Mu soldier was alerted in an instant.
"Gra Valkans! They are here!"
"Every mens to your battle station!"
Soldiers run across trench line and hold up their weapons, Muish Viz-18 semi-automatic rifle. They look out to the vast field infront, gentle wind blow through their ears and that's when Gra Valkans infantry come into their sights. The officer blow his whistle again and they start open fires.
The enemies that is advancing with no cover fall to their knees, some duck down to avoid any leads getting through their skull. Armored vehicles charge through, only for them to be immobilized from the armor piercing round or even the fortress gun. Gra Valkans infantry was stucked in their place, the best they could do is fire their gun.
Faint whistling sound is just now heard from the sky. Smoke trail left off by the artillery shells is visible to everyone in the area, the shells slam right through Mu fortress and trench line giving Gra Valkans infantry chance to charge.
"Artillery saved us.. CHARGE!"
"CHARGE!!!!"
They scream as they charge Mu trench. Trench raiding commence as Gra Valkans forces is right in the line.
"The Valkies is breaching our line! What is our cavalry doing!?"
"Hold them off! Don't let them pass!"
Whistle is blown by Mu side. Mu soldiers have advantage over Gra Valkans in term of firepower but..
"Shit! They coming into the fortre-" He stop immediately as he is face with the barrel of slug rifle (shotgun).
Unfortunately his face is slam open by the rifle before he could lift up his gun, many also met the same fate. Mu soldier run out of first bunker in panic due to Gra Valkans flame troopers. The battle turn into something else, something more terrifying than a simple battle. Concrete base of the fortress crumbles by tank's gun, fortress gun ammunition also detonate and create a larger secondary explosion in the process.
Mu troops hold out well but they couldn't withstand being outnumbered. The communication line is cut off so Mu couldn't request any outside help, Mu forces is spread out thin as they get push further. As if adding a salt to the injuries, Gra Valkans troops hit their flanks and start surrounding them. 5,000 Mu troops surrendered and Kilewa fall into the hand of Gra Valkas empire. It only the start of bloody battlefield that is 'Southern front'.
New Otaheit, Mu army command, 4:50 PM
General of Mu is aware that Gra Valkans is advancing on them hard but they are not scared. They will win only because they got Soviet union on their side, what else could they be worried about?
"Look like they have been pushing this far in the west.. it getting pretty concerning. I think we should divert our forces to that front more"
"I agree with him, if it keep on like this then we will be surrounded"
"Also, it seem like Milishian will start shipping their infantry to us. I believe we can win this"
Milishian infantry is undoubtedly the best in the world, their versatility is completely unmatched by other nation. The ogre that did heavy work, insectoid that will be a markmans or even the newest flying mage that the enemies infantry can't do anything about. This will end up as a one way victory.
However they didn't thought about the fact that Gra Valkas empire got a secret weapon up it's sleeves.. No one would ever saw it coming.
"Would Soviet union join the war with us?" Cesco asks other officer.
"They're still deciding"
"What about.. the Warsaw Pact?" One of them asks.
"Oh.. I think one of them uhh, Bulgaria is also shipping their mans here" Intelligence officer replies.
"Number?" Cesco turn his attention toward the intelligence officer immediately.
"Almost ten thousand"
"That's surprisingly low.."
Mu have been managing their front well but it simply not enough if they continue to hold it alone, Mu infantry never have a real combat experience except the one that saw the bloodbath of Arjin. Those soldiers knew Gra Valkans, they knew wars. Some of them even managing the new recruit right now even though they have a negative views toward this war but it couldn't be avoid anyways.
