Chapter 104: The Marshall Is Here!

Time: 27th of April

Location: Motherbase

POV: Kyle's

''MOVE IT!'' I shouted at the mass of commanders in the CC, I looked at the battle map of Delémont, I scanned the map quickly making a deduction, ''I shall personally head towards Delémont, prepare the Gold Skulls!" I ordered the commanders,

Nobody dared to refute my words, the Gold Skulls were quickly mobilised, donning their war uniform and golden badges, these were battle-hardened men and are Looking forward to thrashing their enemies mercilessly.

Some commanders had sweat drop from their heads as they saw these soldiers readying themselves for the battlefield, ''Rudolf! Prepare my Pz. Kpfw V Ausf. X!'' I ordered coldly, 'It is time for my men to see their Marshall fighting...'

I climbed into my tank and issued everyone to move out, the convoy moved out, leaving a massive dust cloud behind as we departed,

''What's the sitrep at Delémont?'' I turned to the Radioman in my tank,

''It is terrible, they have lost contact with the Tank Battalion that was supposed to intercept the enemy army. Currently, the garrison is trying to hold out, but every minute the casualties skyrocket further!'' He replied with a solemn face.

I nodded in a response, looking at the men working in the base as we pass them, 'No one knows the importance of Delémont...' I sighed at the lack of insight my commanders have,

We drove at full speed towards Delémont, when a tank broke down we left it when a soldier fell ill or was injured would be left behind, there were no stops, it was a Blitz towards Delémont!

''ETA 15 Minutes!'' I shouted over the radio, the other commander confirmed they received the message before all closing their hatches respectively. It was eerily silent in every tank, not because they were afraid or scared, but from the anticipation of the upcoming battle!

''SPEAR FORMATION!'' I shouted, with immediate effect. The tanks started to form a shape of a spear tip, with the Mechanized infantry with APCs and IFVs in the middle, while the supply trucks and SPGs make up the shaft of the spear formation with trucks with infantry around the SPGs and Supply Trucks.

With an increasing momentum, we charged towards Delémont. I could see the fire and ruined buildings in the distance, my eyes reddening in agitation, ''FIRE!'' I ordered my men, the Infantry tanks fired their HE shells upon the city where the Unionists were Hunkering down, with a large barrage of HE shells did the tip of the spear enter the city.

''PROTECT THE CONVOY, BREACH THE INNER CITY!'' I followed up my orders as I pointed right ahead of me. Two E50s with their barrel pointing backwards charged through buildings to make a way, I saw some unionists in my periphery, and aimed the mounted MG of the commander towards them, opening fire.

''Sir, we are almost at the inner city!'' The radio officer shouted towards me, ''ENEMY TANKS!'' The commander of the left flank shouted as he took his platoon of tanks to face them off.

While the left flank dealt with the enemy tanks we slimmed the Spear tip down to compensate for the loss of the left flank but continued to press onwards.

after more than 4 blocks in did we finally breach through the last building, insight came a heavily fortified inner city, where canals and bridges were blockaded, ''Quick get the supplies through!'' I shouted at the men in the inner city,

''It's too late! The men shouted towards us, they are all dead...'' The men said as they started to sob, I was confused, ''Who?'' I opened my hatch,

''MARSHALL!'' The quickly stood up and saluted seeing me, but then they started to cry even more, ''WHY ARE YOU MAGGOTS CRYING!'' A commander shouted angrily,

''They took us by surprise, we thought they were intercepted...The civilians... we couldn't save them!'' The said with a heavy heart, My face was cold, ''Why did this happen?'' I asked with a dangerous undertone,

The white skull's feet got cold as they slumped down, they replied earnestly, ''We were too lax, thinking that they were intercepted, causing us to decrease patrols and Observation posts were not manned...'' The man's voice turned softer and softer as he looked at me.

I just looked at him, ''You know what to do don't you?'' my eyes were cold, looking at these men, ''yes...'' The men said in unison, ''THAN DO IT!'' The commander next to me shouted angrily. The soldiers stood up and threw their badges on the ground, with their Skull masks.

They picked up their guns and checked if they worked fully, ''GO!'' the commander shouted again, the White Skulls all swallowed loudly before looking at the buildings further down the street, ''Come on boys! Let us show them we can still haul our weight!'' A white Skull commander shouted as he ran with his machine gun towards the enemy,

'Failure to protect those they swore to protect is punished by Death, the way of Death can vary, their badge and mask must be removed before death, which indicates shame and failure in our Organisation. This is necessary, to stop these kinds of things from happening again.' I looked at the men charging the Unionist Positions mercilessly, and snorted ''wasted equipment''.

My ear twitched as I heard a faint screaming in the distance, I slammed on the roof of the tank and pointed in the direction I think I heard it come from.
