Chapter 32: Defeat (Part II/III)
Location: External Base
POV: Kyle's
''ZERO! NOW!'' I shouted, ''YES SIR!'' And with that said he disappeared into the HQ hallways. 'BANG!' The main door was slammed open as 2 groups of 10 white skulls stormed inside. ''DUCK!'' I ordered, and immediately pulled the MG42 from my storage, even Mackensen was baffled as a random MG42 appeared, but the white skulls were even more baffled, Before they could react I pulled the trigger, not expecting such a weapon to be located here the white skulls didn't immediately duck for cover.
'TATATATA' 8 men were immediately killed on the spot, ''WATCH OUT MG42!'' The white skulls shouted you could see their superior training as they threw smoke grenades and started to shoot my location, 'Dammit why are we training fucking robots!' I curse our training system. ''AAAAHHH'' The sector head of logistics was hit and started to scream in pain. The Head of healthcare immediately came to help him, he has 5 red crosses on his badge, showing how skilled he is. ''Gentlemen, over here!'' Mackensen who was tasked with defence said,
I ordered the others to leave first, 'splitsh splitsh splitsh!' 'FUUUUUCK!' The pain started to assault me as I got shot multiple times by an MP40 from the side, '' cough cough, bleg!'' I coughed out blood, I aimed my m1911a1 at the perpetrator and fired,'PANG!' He dropped dead, to quickly leave as well I try to stand but my leg was hit as well. ''SIR!'' Zero shouted as he sprinted in my direction. ''SIR ARE YOU OKAY!'' Zero was all worry as he started to check for wounds, ''I am fine Zero, get me out of here!'' I ordered.
Zero wrapped his arm around me to give support, I hopped together with Zero to the side door, where I usually enter from. ''ZERO, THE BLUEPRINT!'' I shouted, He nodded to acknowledge, he slowly let me lean against the door frame where Mackensen was waiting. ''Kyle, It seems only the HQ guard was under the influence of the head of the white skulls, the white skulls outside are still fighting like crazed beasts for the organisation.'' Mackensen said with a relieved sigh but continued:'' Sir, the Panther is ready for battle, please head over, we need armoured support, we already lost 2 Pz.Kpfw III/IVs.'' ''I will Mackensen, I need you to get these gentlemen to the back of the base for safety reasons,'' I said while pointing at the Sector heads. And general staff. ''I will Kyle, be careful the enemies are not weak, I will give you the command radio now, from this moment you will be in control of the Organisations army!'' Mackensen said while detaching his portable radio and giving it to the Marshall.
I together with Zero and the Golden skulls started to run towards the main entrance where the Panther is located. While Mackensen and the other staff headed through the emergency exit(which leads underground) to the back of the base. ''Sir, I do not advise going too far to the front, you will still die if an artillery shell lands on your roof sir!'' Zero said worryingly. ''Zero. I am their Marshall, I am the heart of the organisation, if I am fighting with them, we might actually stand a chance. Because as it looks now, even you have to admit, we only have a 50% chance of winning.'' I replied whilst putting my hand on his shoulder.
''I understand Marshall, be careful, because as you said, you are the heart, and without it, the body dies,'' Zero said before running off with the other 50 Gold skulls, heading towards the battlefield. I was in deep thought when Gunther interrupted me, ''Yo boss, don't mean to be rude, but the enemies are not waiting'' ''Coming!'' I replied, and with that, I Jumped up the panther and into the commander seat with great difficulty as my injuries have only quickly been treated. ''This is The Marshall, speaking on all channels of the organisation, give me sit-rep of the situation!'' I ordered over all channels.
''Sir the 2 infantry regiments have both mobilised, and consist of 4,000 Active personnel, all that we can muster. Each has 2 battalions of white skulls, 1 battalion of black skulls and 1 Panzer Battalion, but the second infantry regiment's Panzer battalion is lacking a Pz.Kpfw III/IV. From the non-combatant personnel, 3,000 have been mobilised and are currently split into 6 battalions with each regiment gaining 3 of the 6. We also have 2 loose artillery battalions, providing support.'' Heinz Guderian Reported to me. ''Marshall the enemy have starting to breach the left flank, we are taking massive casualties! One white skull battalion has been wiped out!'' the commander of the 1st regiment reported.
''Marshall! Our Right flank is being pierced through by enemy Panzer divisions, our last Pz. Kpfw is unable to hold out against them sir!'' The commander of the 2nd regiment said. ''Understood, I want 2 battalions of non-combat personnel to be transferred to the 1st regiment from the 2nd regiment. We will fight against the enemy Panzer Battalion!'' I gave my orders.
''Angela head towards the right flank!'' ''Affirmative boss.'' She confirmed the command. ''Marshall! Enemy Panzer Sighted!'' Gunther said. ''Angela STOP! and angle the armour!'' I immediately responded. ''GUNTHER!'' I shouted, ''On it Boss!'' he replied. He aimed the gun, ''APCR!'' Gunther shouted, Wolfram immediately pushed in the shell. ''LOADED!'' He reported. ''FIRE!'' I ordered Gunther. 'DING, BOOM!' The shell was ejected and at the same time, the APCR pierced through the tanks transmission and fuel tank, hitting the ammo stored below.
''Hit Confirmed'' I said to Gunther. ''Ugh'' I groaned as my injuries which have been quickly fixed start to flare up again .'DING!' ''enemy 9 O'clock!'' I shouted to Gunther and Angela who immediately responded. 'Pff, trying to pen us are we' I thought smugly, I was confident that until 1941 no tank or gun can pen any side of the tank. 'DING' The empty shell fell, sadly no explosion of the tank occurred this time. I check for enemy movement, yet I found none. ''Proceed forward Angela!'' I ordered her.
''Yes boss!'' Se replied and hit the gas, the metal beast raced over the trenches and dirt with 65 km/h. ''ENEMY 3 O'Clock!'' I shouted to Gunther who didn't even need to look, he already had it in his crosshairs. Angela didn't even stop, 'DING! BOOM!' The empty shell casing fell again, while the tank exploded. All while on the move, ''Nice one Gunther!'' I compliment him, but with his unnatural sniping skills and a stabilised gun it was a piece of cake for him. ''cggg, cggg'' Someone was trying to contact me. ''YES?'' I asked, ''SIR GET OUT, ENEMY ARTILLERY BARRAGE INCOMING!''
The officer in the forward outpost shouted as he heard artillery firing in the distance, and their tracer shell was only 5 meters away from the Panther, meaning next barrage will come right on top of their heads! 'BOOM! BOOM!' Shells started to rain around the tank, but the shrapnel couldn't penetrate. 'HA, Idiots!' i thought, but Oh I wish I hadn't said those words. ''BOOOOM!'' Everyone looked in horror as the front upper Glacis glass plate of the tank was hit by a massive 252 mm Artillery shell.
