Rank: Zweiter Leutnant Weather: Rainy Time: 15:30 If anylings have read this journal... Shame on you.. but anyway, i decided to write my journal about my experience about this war. Of how I was drafted to the military and how I was trained to be a officer of my panzer Platoon. And how I and my platoon were the first ones to enter our Grestest enemy capital, Canterlot. For anylings want to know my name... Then tough luck.. because I won't tell you my name hah! And besides I already put my name on the log part! But I should tell you what am I look like so I won't keep you in the dark. I'm a Velisapolisian Changeling, yeah I know, I'm one of those high posh like class Changelings, but I always want to enter to the military, after that parade made by my Glorious one true queen Chrysalis, and her , admittedly her ( blushes) handsome Field Marshal. Oh btw I'm a female 19 years old. And before I joined the military, I have Known Field Marshal Trimmel, he's the one who believes that the tanks are the most important component for a modern Mobile warfare and he's the one who made a brand new doctrine that hasn't Known yet, I think it's called Blitzkriegor something? I don't know. I have joined the army as a Volunteer for the Heer, long before the Conscrption has took an effect. Soon I took a test, in order to join the Heer and I found myself to be part of the 7th Panzer division, of 2nd Swarm army, led by legendary Hive General Pharynx. My leadership skills as a leader of my tank crew, have made me command an entire platoon of New Panzers! and they're 5 of them. These tanks have just come out from the assembly line and shipped them all the way from Vraks to here! These tanks are the new panzerkampfwagen 4s. 4 of them are the Ausf.A variant, meaning they only have a short barrelled cannons, My tank on the another hand is a Ausf.G variant of Panzer 4. Meaning my tank has a longer barrel than the stock panzer 4s. This should give me an advantage against some Equestrian’s Matilda 1s according to the spies sent from Equestria... well I have to end this log now. Ps: for anyone who’s interested to my Physical description: I’m a normal looking changeling, with yellow eyes, wearing reading glasses and wearing a typical tank commander uniform. Log 2: Name: Yanna Chitin 25th July 1010 ( 5 days before the invasion) Location: Northside of the Seaddle River ( Panzer training grounds). Rank: Zweiter Leutnant Weather: partly cloudy Time: 13:00 For a five straight days, my platoons and I have been training on some attacking and defending maneuvers between our new Panzers. It also the same day that our Oberst, ( Colonel) Nicolas Arachnid, came by and showed us the new Equestrian tank that he and his Infiltrator company have "borrowed" for the demonstration purposes. On front of us, we see the newest tank in Equestrian Army. The Matilda 2. Unlike their main battle tank Matilda 1 in an Equestrian Army which has better armour than its gun itself. This Matilda 2 tank is significantly slower than their old Matilda 1 tanks, but have some superb Armor and have a decent cannon, that can penetrate our tank's armor in a decent range, but it's their Armor is their most impressive! On one test, the Oberst have shown my platoon and I, just how strong this armor is by bringing some panzers from neighboring platoon of Panzer 3s and 4s and they start shooting it at the front the Matilda 2 from 200m. The Panzer 3s and short barrelled Panzer 4s doesn't even penetrate through the front Armor of Matilda. Only my ausf.G variant of my panzer 4, managed to Pierce through it. The Obrest then decided to train us how to attack these new tanks and how to disable them, It took a whole day though. Soon after that training. The Obrest was impressed by our platoon's ability to quickly find exploits and weaknesses of this new tank quickly, and were told to be dismissed and return our Training grounds. I was quite surprised to get a compliment from my superior, especially since this platoon has more volunteered females than males. Female Changelings within the Wehrmacht are usually takes the Support role, Males tends to do the Fighting while us Females are the ones prepping their guns, tanks, planes, tending to the sick and etc. But our platoon and several platoons and battalions such as 167th Panzer "Kiss of death" Battalion in 32nd Panzer Division in 2nd Swarm Army or even a whole division like 56th Infantry "Dark Angels" Division 88th Motorized "Speed Succubus" Division and such, these divisions and battalions are considered the odd ones out, though the male usually would mock us. Cuz we’re females, but we're proven ourselves to be just as capable fighters as Males. After all my Glorious Queen is the one leading the charge against Equestria and her Allies, as she’s a Queen duh! Alright that should be my end of log for today. Log 3: Name: Yanna Chitin 28th July 1010 ( 2 days before the invasion) Location: Northside of the Seaddle River ( Panzer training grounds). Rank: Zweiter Leutnant Weather: Cloudy Time: 19:30 It's been three days since I have Written another log to my Journal. Here's what happened to me and my platoon in a about three days While I was talking to my Best comrade ( aka my best brood friend) tank Commander Adele Xylem, who’s commanded the Panzer IV Ausf.A. The short barrelled ones. We're in our tent talking about our crushes within the Wehrmacht, my one Is Field Marshal Trimmel, and some Changeling ace pilots in the Luftwaffe, Hehe and Adele's crush is the Legendary General Pharynx himself. I mean who could've blame her? He's one of the Generals who also believes in Mobile warfare known as Blitzkrieg or Bewegungskrieg ( maneuver Warfare), along side Trimmel. He also the one who crush the Thoraxian resistance, and overran the Entire Olenian Military. He personally commanding an Elite Panzer Division called 7th Panzer "Ghost" Division. Which is where our platoon is actually assigned, which a win if you asked me. Plus! he’s a very dashing Changeling if I say so my self, with large red spines and hot purple eyes, he’s a chick magnet alright hehe! For the rest of our days and the day after was doing some Panzer Training and proper maintenance of our Panzers. And have usual news from our great leader, and some new info from our Greatest Enemy Equestria. From the the last day we’ve got our latest info we have given, my platoon and I have learned that their Civil war is now entered to it's 3rd Year. I have indeed heard this Civil war, back in 1007, a year in a half before I joined the Heer. Since then I haven’t heard much about their civil war, mainly because I don’t care about their silly civil war and partly because reports are so sporadic that I could just imagine how these ponies fight each other over some of their stupid princesses, both are kinda stupid and easy to hurt their feelings if you insults them heh. Soon years went by, our Changeling Spy network has finally established in Equestrian soil and able to get accurate information about their troop movements and their army strengths, as of right now, they have made a very long trench front line that stretches from the mountainous border of Crystal Empire to the north to the Newly established southern Confederation to the South. And these two armies are in deadlock unable to advance to either side of the front. In any case, I hope these stupid ponies are still busy Killing each other, so we can finally conquer the entire Equestria quickly.. Log 5: Name: Yanna Chitin 30th July 1010 ( 2 hour before the invasion) Location: Northside of the Seaddle River ( Edge of the River bank. ) Rank: Zweiter Leutnant Weather: Clear Time: 22:00 We only have 2 hours left before we across this mighty Seaddle River. And the War is officially start, in the middle of the Night our platoon’s mission is to go straight across the river using raft provided by the supplies from Vrakian factories alongside our Panzers and surprise our enemies with our sheer firepower, these ponies relied too much on the terrain, these ponies thought that weren’t able to bring our panzers to this river, and only provided Small divisions on the river to defend it. Within struck midnight, we would finally commence our orders and to go across the river, though this would be the most difficult mission ever received by our orders recieved by our generals but I believed that our Training, our Panzers and our iron resolve, should be more than enough to achieve victory. And I hope those qualities I have should be enough to keep me alive. I would really want to live through this war and able enjoy our victory with my friends and my hive family. And finally Aquire those sweet sweet love! Well this would be end of this log for now, I would start to write more once I have done my mission and have free time.. > Chapter 2: Into the Hostile Lands ( Log 6 to Log 8) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Log 6: Name: Yanna Chitin 2nd August 1010 ( 3 days after the Invasion) Location: outskirts of Vanhoover ( Northern side, 25 km from the City) Rank: Zweiter Leutnant Weather: Clear Time: 6:30 It’s been three days since we went to the other side. And so the Great War has started. heh... after going over that river and overpower one infantry division that’s defending that fortifications, we’re have made huge progress on our invasion and en route to the City of Vanhoover, which is under the control of Vanhoover Commune. While on our way to our designated location, we have encountered more than 25 Equestrian Tanks, 20 Cruiser Mk. IVs and 5 Matilda 2s. On my platoon another hand, I commanded only 10 Panzers, 6 Pz IIIs and 4 Pz. 4s with my one is Pz. 4 Ausf. G variant, the strongest Panzer within my platoon. Those Equestrian Tanks are coming towards my platoon in a breakneck pace, I knew my platoon is outnumbered by 3 to 1. So I hurriedly ordered my tanks to find a suitable position to ambush and ordered my fastest tank in my platoon to run towards the Enemy platoon and act as bait and lured them in to my trap. All 9 of my Panzers are in to their position, my tank is positioned on a slightly elevated terrain giving me a advantage on spotting the tanks, and so I waited for my bait to arrive here and let the Stupid Equines to lead to their Demise. When my bait has come back, I immediately saw some battle damage, there is approximately 6 tank shots on his front, all non fatal and 3 shot marks on the ride side of the tank, also all non fatal. I have ordered the runner to find a suitable position to set an ambush. Much to my delight, the runner have told me that they have disabled 3 Cruiser mk IV tanks. Which I only have to look out for 17 Light tanks and 5 medium tanks. 5 minutes later the entire Platoon of Equestrian tanks have arrived, as soon they appeared on the horizon I ordered the entire platoon to fire the Matilda 2s first then cruisers next. I ordered my gunner to shoot the lead Matilda tank on the slit, the result was a massive fireball in which it destroys the tank and killed a lot of crews inside. The other Matilda tank on the left were pelted by the guns of Pz.IIIs however due to have weaker gun, they aren’t able to penetrate the thick hide of the Matilda even on its sides. So i ordered my gunner to target on the weakened Matilda and fire. When it fired, the power from my 75mm gun is easily able to pierced through its armour even if its facing on front of me. The Matilda on the left was finally disabled, this give the other Panzer IIIs to target the smaller Cruiser Mk IVs, in which they’re harassing the larger Pz.IVs. Other Pz.IVs on the another hand have manage to disable another Matilda despite having short barrelled guns, some are now targeting smaller Light tanks, reducing their overall numerical advantage against us. Thanks to our tactical ambush, we have disorganised their organisation, and many aren’t able to fire back to us. By now we have reduced their massive platoon from 25 to just 12, with one Matilda and eleven Cruiser Mlp.IVs left. I ordered all the the available tanks to target all the Cruisers while I take the Matilda myself. The Pony Commander of this Matilda tank is quite skilled, it have able to angled his Tank so I couldn’t penetrate its thick hide. However due to how slow his Matilda is, I have able to go around him and ordered the loader to load a HEAT round, and order my Gunner to fire at the rear of the Matilda. My tank’s cannon finally fired, and soon took a direct hit and able to disable it. Whoever inside that tank is now turned into jelly when I fired that Round. With the lost of the Platoon commander the remaining tanks retreated to the friendly lines. Hence my first big battle is over. Tally up the score, out of 25 tanks that they have engaged on us, only 7 tanks left. All Matildas were in flames. On our side however they have manage to disable two of our Pz.IIIs, however both can be repaired soon. My tank have scored 7 tank kills 3 of them were Matildas. With this many kills this have made me a Tank ace! Can’t wait to get a medal soon! Log 7: Name: Yanna Chitin 4th August 1010 ( 5 days after the Invasion) Location: outskirts of Vanhoover ( Northern side near the border between the Vanhoover Commune) Rank: Oberleutnant Weather: Partly Cloudy Time: 16:38 My platoon and I have finally arrived at the Border between the Vanhoover Commune and us. Our orders have received that in 5th of August 1:00, we would invade the Commune and seize its Massive city called Vanhoover. This would then give us an opportunity to pivot us towards Tall Tale City and seize its factories. Right now my platoon are getting an Upgrade for this Operation. All 6 Pz.IIIs including old Pz.IV Ausf A, will be replaced with new and improved Pz.IV Ausf. D equipped with more powerful the 75mm Kwk 40 L/43. With this new canon it could now stand toe to toe with the more heavily armoured Matildas. Though it specification of this Cannon may be similar to my Ausf. G’s in a same designation, it is longer barrelled, meaning has more penetration power than the short barrelled versions. But they’re still quite capable tanks in my opinion. Well just before I got to my quarters to get some we’ll needed rest, I saw a glimpse of my big crush! Field Marshal Trimmel! And brave and bold Gen. Pharynx! Discussing about the whole scale of the operation of conquering Vanhoover. The sight of Him and Pharynx makes my insectoid wings to go wing boned, I was blushing heavily, and quickly hide from them to prevent to see my wing boned wings. Every time I see Trimmel, I sometimes gets wing boned by his, perfect stature of a Changeling body, straight horn, his lustrous Green Eyes and that handsomely looking fangs. It make my heart flutter every time I see him. However he would largely ignore me, due to be a lower class than he is. He is the Supreme Commander of the Entire Equestrian Front after all. I hope someday that I finally survive this Great War and received a tiptoe equal that of General, he may just notice me... hehe! It’s just a dream though and I have a duty to do! To serve the Queen and the Hive! Oh I almost forgot to mention I’m that I finally have received a medal for my 7 confirmed kills in my first major battle. And received a title of Oberleutnant. This means I could command a larger Company of Panzers at my Command, from Ten Panzers to 15 Panzers worth of my Command. For this I concluded my log here for now. Log 8: Name: Yanna Chitin 5th August 1010 ( 6 days after the Invasion) Location: outskirts of Vanhoover 5km away from the City. Rank: Oberleutnant Weather: Sunny Time: 9:30 It was particularly good day today, for me at least, as no rain yesterday, have very flat terrain, light fortifications. This would be a breeze! Around 2:00 am, an hour after declaration of war against The Commune, we have crossed the border and reach 20km from the original position, the 7th Panzer Division, the division I was in, was living up to its name to be the Ghost Division. We have able to cut deep to their defences and smash through their fortifications, the remaining tanks that the Commune has now all but demolished by our Blitzkrieg tactics. We’re are now on sight of the First major Equestrian City, Vanhoover, an Important Harbour for the Equestrian Western Fleet, which by now have been transferred to the East to support the War effort against the Lunar Empire. To me? This will be my first real Challenge for my Commanding Skills that would determine victory or defeat... let’s just hope I survive this encounter... > Chapter 3: Seize the Western Port ( Log 9 to 12) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Log 9: Name: Yanna Chitin 6th August 1010 ( 7 days after the Invasion) Location: Mane street, Vanhoover ( occupation 79%) Rank: Oberleutnant Weather: partly cloudy Time: 11:45 We have finally entered the City, as we passed through its defences, we have confronted huge masses of infantry charging at us. So I ordered my Radio operator to flush them with machine guns. Which it did wonders. By now we the City is in 79% of its Occupation, the only areas are still holding up are the Coastal garrisons to the West, the Merrion Tractor Factory to the North and the one we’re ordered to reinforce the attack is the Vanhoover Radio station to the south. As were close to reach the frontline, I have split my tank Company into 3 small platoons 5 Tanks each, and each platoons have a code in order to contact the platoon commander quickly. Three platoon code names were “rot”, “Blau” and “Gelb”. I commanded the “Gelb” platoon. The once we’ve reach the frontline, we immediately informed about the situation of the battle by a Company Major, named Major Hanzel Xelin. He told me about the Situation he was in, his Infantry company have given the Vanhoovernites inside the Radio station area a living Tartarus to them. He managed to take control key bridges for my Tanks to advance to the radio station, however despite their best efforts to break the defenders by massive artillery barrages and air strikes, the defenders are still hanging on and able to repel his infantry forces back to the frontlines. He requires our tanks to assist him on taking on the Radio station. I’m happy to obliged, and start draw up the battle plans. I told Major that I split my Tank company in 3 platoons, ‘Rot’, ‘Blau’, and ‘Gelb’. I would send ‘Rot’ and ‘Blau’ Platoons to the north to divert the defenders away from our position while my Gelb platoon, will support your advance. We would start our assault on 20:10 tonight to cover our track in a middle of the night and begin our assault. He agrees on my decision and call all of his troops to get ready for another assault. I hope this plan of action works... Log 10: Name: Yanna Chitin 6th August 1010 ( 7 days after the Invasion) Location: inside Radio Station on Mane Street, Vanhoover ( occupation 81%) Rank: Oberleutnant Weather: clear Time: 23:30 I am currently writing this Diary after we successfully captured the Radio Station in Vanhoover. Speaking of Radio Station I would write what happen on that assault. On the 20:10 we finally commenced our assault on the Radio station, as expected most of the Defenders have sapped their infantry ponies to the north to reinforce the line there, against my Tanks which they work wonders. Once the defenders on the south is weak enough from sapping their troops, we finally commence our southern assault, the defenders were shocked as my tanks rolled in to their light fortifications, they threw everything at us like Granades, rifles and machine guns, in return I order my radio operator and the rest of the platoon to flush them out with Machine guns, which they did, as well ordered my gunner to shoot at the makeshift bunker right front of us and flush them out with machine guns. Soon these defenders are dropping dead like flies as they don’t have a equipment for defending against our steel Panzers, by now we have captured key areas for securing the Radio station such as bridges and parking lots. Soon we have finally met up with other platoons and I merged them back to a single large Panzer Company. With the outside is secured, Major Hanzel called upon his infantry company to secure the station inside. He thank us for Cooperation with his infantry company. I told him it’s no problem! Changelings stick together and fight together no matter what you carry. After all we as Changelings are quite the same physically speaking. Log 11: Name: Yanna Chitin 9th August 1010 ( 10 days after the Invasion) Location: west Coast of Vanhoover ( occupation 95%) Rank: Oberleutnant Weather: clear Time: 9:50 By now we have occupied 95% of the City of Vanhoover, the only area that hasn’t yet been captured was the Coastal garrison, station to the west of the Luna bay. Our Grubs in wings ( Aka the Luftwaffe) have made consecutive air strikes against the Garrison, one such air strike has ‘accidentally’ set the Oil reserves near the Garrison on fire, thus setting the blaze on fire, it then spilled not only on the Garrison but towards the city itself, soon the city is on fire. Whoever unfortunate enough to be caught in the flames, would be roasted alive... My Company have managed to get out of the city as soon as the Fire creeps towards the city. We’re on route to the Garrison to fully encircle them, attack and destroy the last remaining divisions there. One of the Drones who were accompanying our Panzers have managed to take a photo of me and my companions, I gotta say I look quite badass when I look at it. Log 12: Name: Yanna Chitin 14th August 1010 ( 15 days after the Invasion) Location: Coastal Garrison of Vanhoover ( occupation 100%) Rank: Oberleutnant Weather: clear Time: 10:55 By Queen’s fine ass!! Finally! After that shit We have been through, we have finally destroyed last remaining Commune Soldiers in the garrison, waiting to be executed by our brave Queen’s Guards. The Vanhoover Commune has capitulated. This means that the entire section of Commune province now belong to our Proud Queendom. And finally giving us a large opening to the Equestria Proper, and clear the way for a next Objective, capturing the Green city itself, Tall Tail City. But before we talk about that I should tell you about that shitshow of a Assault on the Garrison happened yesterday. 2 days before our attack on the Garrison, my Panzer crew of the Pz.IV ausf.G have caught illegally sucking the POW ponies which is against our law in the Wehrmacht and they’re punished by that action, and my former crew have been sent to the Northern front, in which most of the Equestrian force are its strongest. Which I the Commander forces me to get a fresh new grubs, Uuugh! So annoying... Though as a Oberleutnant, I managed to get a fresh new crew mates quickly for the final assault to the Garrison. My new gunner is Xyla Carapace, she just recently finished her training on Antax Military school, she’s quite aggressive, loud and quite reckless but loyal, which I have to keep an eye on her when she’s holding a cannon, she might fire it, she’s also a Vrakkian Changeling. Which it explains of her aggressive and very eager to fight, which is explain why’s quite eager to get her hooves on a tank cannon and shoot, in which I’m quite fine with it, as long as she’s not being reckless, and NOT! Being a annoying little grub! Ugh! Next up is Bruno Helix, my new Radio Operator, calm and collective, he not quite a talker but he’s loyal to me and my new crew, he hopes that his radio skills would give us victory on our countless battles. He also very dedicated to his job, as soon as I ordered him something, he immediately does that order until I ordered him to stop or finishes his orders I gave to him. He finished his training on Gradis Military Academy. He’s a Lyciditan Changeling, which is why he’s quite mysterious, shy and not quite a talker, but I think he’s quite smart, charming and a very Queen’s Guard material, doing orders without question and very loyal to his crew and our glorious Queen. Which I find it confused why he didn’t join the Queen’s guard instead choosing To become a Panzer crew. My new Driver is Hans Shultz, young, loud and extrovert with a big Ego. Quite the Opposite to a Loyal, quiet, shy and introvert Bruno. The only common thing about these boys are they’re both young Grubs. He finished his Training as a Panzer Driver on Vrakkian Panzer Academy, which he was the top of his class and able to beat his rival classmates on his academy, which is why he has that big ego. He would sometimes would be at butts with Xyla due to their competitiveness and eagerness of fighting and battling each other. Which I rolled my eyes on.. He came from Port city of Ditrysium, he’s father was a Kriegsmarine captain of the U-Boat of U-343, Under the command of Admiral Mimic. Which is why he’s quite proud of his skills and quite an extrovert. Which could be a problem.. though thankfully he's quite loyal to my new crew ( albeit mostly to me) and he's a very skilled Driver, which I'm quite fine with him being my new driver. And finally my best friend! Anna Xylem!! Adele's little Sister and my old bestie and my old Classmate on Vesalipolis Grand Military Academy. She and her big sister Adele, came from the lake City of Soryth. And volunteered as a Panzer crew on Vesalipolis. She's quite a Bookbug, she love reading books and likes learning new things and makes very good tacticful decisions which I was able to ecxcecute our plans quite perfectly when we were just young Nymphs on a Military school. Last time I saw her was on the graduation day of our school and we part ways due to being assigned as a Panzer loader on a different Panzer Battalion to the northern Front. That was So when she saw me for the first time in 2 years she immediately hug me and I hug her back, she congratulated me that i promoted to be a Oberleutnant and my first battle against Equestrian tankers. Oh it so good that I she's here as my new Panzer Crew mate. Over all this new crews are very good at their respective jobs and I hope they would successfully win this assault on the Garrison. -------///////--------/////------- On the 12th Of August 1010. I've finally trained my new crews on how to be a effective Panzer crew mates in a heat of battle, soon after I give them a riggerous training, I give them a bit of break. Xyla and Hans, being competitive grubs they are, were doing Hoof wrestlings at each other. Bruno is working on the radio to pick up any form of chatter to the Garrison or other chatters that picked his interest. And my Best friend Anna is catching up on her book about a these fictional and weird looking creatures known as humans that fights bigger humans that eats smaller humans to protect their last safe city on their world. Which I find them really weird... Anna describes them as bipedal creature that uses machines instead of Magic because they're dumb or something... I don't understand these Humans anyway and honestly I don't care about them... Later in afternoon, I've gathered my crews Adele, other Tank Commanders and Major Hanzel Xelin about my plan to attack the Garrison. My Panzer Company would create a massive Spearhead throat would attack in full force against their last ditch fortification around the Garrison. But first we would call on airstrikes on these fortifications to soften them up and I would able to break through their defences, as soon I able to Pierce their defenses, Major would bring his Troops on trucks and solidify our flanks and capture several key structures on defeating the last remaining defenders. Major Hanzel agreed to my plans but he worried that they may have some anti tank rifles and they able to disable one of my tanks, I told him, that they would be eliminated once I call in airstrikes at them. ------//////-------///------ As soon as I called in the Airstrikes, the familiar Sirens of the Junkers Ju-87s swoops down and bombed out key sections of their defenses, once smoke clears free of 87s. Their fortifications are smoking badly, suggesting that they did make a lot of trouble there. As soon as they finished their bombing runs, I ordered my entire panzer platoons to charge at them in full speed! We've mad dash towards their defenses, once the commune soldier kicked their wounds from the airstrikes, they starts to fire Anti-Tank Rifles at us. Three shots hit us on the front. All non fatal, but their deadly rifles have made their spot one iof my tanks, one well aimed shot, hits the ammo rack of our comrade Panzers and exploded, disorganizing our Spearhead, this would be the start of series of unfortunate events on this attack. We have managed to defeat the fortications by smashing through their weak frontal walls, thanks to that several consecutive days of airstrikes on the Garrison. With a cost of our 2 Pz.IV Asuf. Ds were disabled from their AT rifles. Thankfully Major's Infantry manage to sweeps over some surviving Communist Soldiers hiding in a pillboxes like a cowards. Once we've entered the Garrison I ordered most of my tanks to go around their defenses and flank them while the rest would follow my lead. As soon as we've entered their Garrison. I ordered Xyla and the rest of the tank plattoons to destroy all of their parked vehicles to prevent from commies from driving them. Which were successful at first. Then I met a fucking beast of a Tank! It is a large tank, with a massive turret and that howezter size cannon that could easily hit me and other tanks in one shot. So I ordered my tanks to destroy it. Unfortunately their short barrelled cannon aren't able to make a dent on this steel Monster. The monster's turret start to turn on the first tank it saw and with was a pz.IV ausf. D on front of him, the monster fired it's massive howezter cannon. It's armour could not able to withstand that kind of power and so it was destroyed immediately. I ordered Hanz to drive around this monster of a tank and ordered Xyla to shoot at it's tracks so it can't move. So Xyla fires at the tracks and she successfully hit the tracks and the monster won't able to move due to its legs were maimed. However I think I just provoked the giant, because this monster's turret start to rotate at out current position, I ordered Hanz to drive faster which he did, I ordered Bruno to call in reinforcements ASAP! Which he did it immediately. I ordered Anna to load of the HEAT rounds that we currently have and ordered my Gunner to fired it on the rear of this monster. However the Monster fired at us, it hit our topside of the engine block in the rear, and by Queen's fucking grace! that was a glancing hit, if it were a direct hit. We would've been a jelly inside. That would be the end of my career permanently. One of the surviving tanks managed to hit the turret ring of the Tank, preventing it from attacking me. As soon as Anna finishes her load the HEAT rounds, I immediately order Xyla to fire it to the rear. When she fired it. It round hit the engine of this monster and finally! The monster has slain, it have contact the fuel and burst into flames and soon the entire monster of this tank finally cought on fire and i some pony scums getting out from the tank who's also on fire as well, I ordered Bruno to put them out of their fiery misery. Which he did. Upon closer look these ponies are volunteers from Stalliongrad, those bastards are supporting them! How dare they! The battle is over, the entire Garrison has fallen to our hooves, but to this encounter, I was close to death, though I manage to slain the Monster. My tank was mortally wounded but still operational, the monster killed 3 of my Panzers already and counting up the losses from this assault, 5 out of 15 of my Panzers in my company was destroyed... --------/////--------//////-------- I congratulated my Crew for their effective and bravery of being a Crew mate, Xyla and Anna squee in delight, Bruno just nods his head for the Compliments, and Hans just boasted that his driving skills have saved the entire crew. I just rolled my eyes from his ego. I visit Major Hanzel inside the field hospital which he has lying down on a bed, with lots of bandages on his left eye, due to a recent surgery, the Changeling medics have managed to pull a shrapnel lodged on his left eye,by some miracle he survived from it. I told him that I was thankfull that you helped me out on my Assault, he said it was no problem as he pointed out I also helped him out taking over the radio station. It looks like I would stop this log at here for now...
