Operation Quang Trung

Houston School of Armored Warfare

Lance Corporal Dương Văn "Frost" An

Mission objectives:

Main Objective: Ambush the Pravda Girls High School at the Agana Heights with QGP/VC guerrilla tactics (hit-and-run)

Support Objective: To be updated

Status: Operation Start

4 days later, 0500 hours, USAF Base, Guam

An's POV

The ceasefire was over and almost immediately, the 2 factions are already clashing each other. The village/city of Mangilo in the central part of Guam was currently being contested by the our Richmond Armored Warfare School (RAWS) and the combined Chi-Ha-Tan and St. Gloriana Sensha Do teams. Meanwhile to the south of the island, Yona, probably one of the largest villages/cities in the southern region, was being fought over by our New York School on Tank Tactics (NYSTT) and the University All-Stars team. All the schools I just mentioned use predominantly WW2 tanks, with the RAWS using a mixture of US and German vehicles, while the NYSTT is using a mixture of Soviet and Japanese vehicles. Some of the schools are our side do have modern tanks, like us, and the Rhode Island Tankery School (RITS), with 100 M1A1 TUSK tanks. Also good enough for us and the rest of the schools, we have about 100 HMMWVs and 100 JLTVs as some of our recon vehicles/night vehicles if necessary. Not to mention, we have 9 AH-64 Apache Helicopters for ground support. We were all ready, planning this operation sooner than we had thought. Plus, since Miho is coming with us, I taught her some basic Vietnamese in the days of the ceasefire, so she will be able to understand at least some of our conversations. I then geared up and grabbed my M27, again, and headed back out to the Pavilion to meet up with my men, and I helped Miho along the way as well.

A few moments later, 0530 hours, Pavilion, USAF base, Guam

When Miho and I got out, I could see some of the men I assigned for this operation lining up and waiting for my command and orders. McPearson was standing on the podium waiting for me.

McPearson: Sir. The men are ready and locked and loaded.

Me: Good.

I then turn the HSAW tank crewmembers partaking in this operation.

Me: Alright men. In a few short minutes, Operation Quang Trung will start. We are to go in with 40 tanks, 20 T-14 Armatas, and 20 M1A2Cs, and head out to the village of Agana Heights. From our recon, the Pravda Girls High School is going to try to take that point. Remember, the Pravda Girls High School consists of WW2 Soviet tanks, so be extra careful of the IS-2 and the KV-2 on their team, even though their shells will definitely not penetrate our tanks easily. Since the whole area is covered in trees and forest, with the urban area in the center like most of the other villiages, we will hide and wait until they go into the village center. Then, as you all know, we will fire at their tanks, disabling all of them and retreating before they can notice us. Is that clear?

HSAW crewmembers: Yes sir!

Me: Now move to your tanks!

All of the HSAW crewmembers scatter to their tanks while Townsend comes up with us.

Townsend: Sir? How are we going to surprise them?

Me: Here's the plan. McPearson, you take the M1s and place them to the north of the village, but don't place your tanks close the roads. Remember, we can outgun them by at least 800 yards. Meanwhile, Townsend, our T-14s will be in the south of the city, waiting until they get inside the village, and then, we fire, and get the hell out of there. Clear?

Townsend and McPearson: Yes sir!

Me: Alright. McPearson, you and your men head out first. Townsend, get ready our T-14s and we'll follow right behind McPearson.

Townsend and McPearson: Yes sir!

Me: Alright. Dismissed!

Townsend and McPearson hurry to get the HSAW crewmembers to get inside the tanks and ready the operation, which leaves Miho and I left in the Pavilion.

Miho (IJ): Are you alright, love?

Me (IJ): Yeah, just thinking.

I ponder for a few seconds.

Me (IJ): Miho, you'll be taking the commander's seat today, since you are a commander yourself, though you won't have to do much spotting, since we have camera systems inside our tanks. I will be in the gunner's seat.

Miho (IJ): But don't you need a loader?

Me (IJ): No, Miho. Remember, the T-14 Armata is a modern Russian tank. It already has an autoloader in place, so that reduces the number of crew from 4 to 3. Also, we'll be inside an armored capsule in the front of the tank that can pretty much deflect all rounds from all schools, though I'm sure that the Afghanit will take care of it before the rounds even reach us.

Miho (IJ): Afghanit?

Me (IJ): Oh, sorry love, I haven't told you that all our tanks have Active Protection Systems. In addition to the T-14's Malachit ERA and the M1A2C's Depleted Uranium Composite Armor, we have Active Protection Systems (APS) for both of these tanks. The T-14 has the Russian Afghanit APS, and the M1A2C has the Israeli Trophy APS. In the case of the T-14, 3 situations can happen when a shell is fired at it. One, the shell will hit the tank, but not penetrate it, due the strong Malachit ERA having at least 900mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA). The two other situations involve the Afghanit APS. One is where the the tubes on the sides of the turret will shoot a high explosive fragmentation charge out to stop it (we have 10 of those, 5 for each side), or the other, where the electromagnetic waves from the APS direct the shell away from the tank and explode somewhere else. To sum it all up, we're basically protected by invisible shields around our tanks, due to our APS systems.

Miho (IJ): Very impressive. Our schools don't even have this sort of thing, and I'm sure that even the modern Type-10 tanks that Japan's military is currently fielding don't have the APS systems you mentioned.

Me (IJ): Yeah, it's a small majority of modern MBTs that get APS systems. Anyways though, should we get going, my angel?

Miho (IJ) (giggles): Yes, we shall.

She then puts an arm over my neck so that I can walk her to my tank and hopefully, put her inside the commander's seat.

A few moments later, An's T-14

We then arrive at my T-14 and I opened the commander's hatch and slowly but surely, I managed to get her inside.

Miho (IJ): Wow. Your tanks sure have a lot of systems and cameras.

Me (IJ) (as I get into the gunner's seat): Yeah, we're used to that.

I then check all the systems, including our thermal, night, APS, and gunner.

Me: All systems checked! Everything is working fine. Townsend?

Townsend: Yes sir?

Me: Is everybody in their tanks?

Townsend: Yes sir.

Me: Alright.

I then turn on the radio on my CVC helmet and connect to the radio in the tank, wirelessly.

Me: Cho hết dơn vị, đấy là Hà Nội 0-1. Có nghê được không? (To all units, this is Hà Nội 0-1, do you read, over?)

McPearson: Đấy là Thăng Long 0-1, nghê to và rõ, chờ lệnh. (This is Thăng Long 0-1, hear you loud and clear, standing by for orders.)

Me: Cho hết dơn vị, bắt đầu chiến dịch! (All units, begin offensive!)

Townsend gets the tank moving and my squad of T-14s follow in behind McPearson's M1A2Cs as we head out the gates of the base.

Miho (IJ): So love, I see you have a saying before a match. (she giggles)

Me (IJ) (I chuckle): Yes my angel. Just like your "Panzer Vor!", we have our "Bắt Đầu Chiến Dịch!".

Miho (IJ): I see. Guess I have a lot to learn from you all.

Me (IJ): Yeah, you do. But don't worry, it won't be that hard.

We get going onto the roads leading to the Agana Heights and to hopefully, prepare our positions before Pravda manages to get there first.

0600 hours, Outskirts of Agana Heights, Guam

We finally managed to reach the outskirts to the Agana Heights. We almost got lost on our way, saved only by the GPS inside our tanks. Fortunately for us, when I looked through the gunner's and commander's camera to the outside world, I can see that Pravda hasn't managed to arrive yet.

Miho: That's strange. Pravda hasn't arrived yet, and yet they're usually ones to arrive on time.

Townsend: Maybe they're lost in the Guamanian jungle or something.

Me: They're probably lost because they're using maps, meanwhile the only reason we didn't get lost is because of our handy GPS here (he shows the GPS) leading us the way, and not getting us stuck somewhere.

Miho: Right.

We were fast approaching the south of the city where the trees and bushes were relevant. I get over the radio to McPearson.

Me (radio): McPearson, status update on the other schools?

McPearson (radio): Sir, so far the RAWS is slowly pushing both Chi-Ha-Tan and St. Gloriana back from Mangilo, while the NYSTT is having a hard time with the University All-Stars team, though they managed to have a standstill, with a 50/50 occupying the city.

Me (radio): Alright, we'll support the NYSTT later if we have time. McPearson, get your tanks onto the flanks to the north of the village and surround the road leading the urban center, but don't fire until I see so. We want them inside our trap before we disable all of their tanks and leave.

McPearson (radio): Roger sir. And sir?

Me (radio): Yeah?

McPearson (radio): Please speak in Vietnamese next time so that the enemy doesn't tap into our communications.

Me (radio) (I sigh): McPearson, you're forgetting that our communication systems are way too advanced for them to crack through. Even Saunders can't tap into our communications and they are probably the best on the enemy team to do so.

McPearson (radio): Yes sir, but just saying.

Me (radio): Yeah I know. I'll speak in Vietnamese more when needed. Now get going.

McPearson (radio): Yes sir!

McPearson's 20 M1A2Cs then move on without us to the north of the village. Miho then proceeds to open the commander's hatch and look outside with the binoculars I had given to her.

Me (IJ): You okay there, Miho?

Miho (IJ): I think I'm fine. Just used to looking outside because of the Panzer IV I command.

Me (IJ): I know, but don't look outside for too long. Remember, your leg needs to heal, and I would rather see you use the commander's camera more than look outside and might get your head blow off by a shell.

Miho (IJ): I understand.

Me (IJ): Alright. Anyways, if you see the Pravda tanks get to the urban center, just tell me, got it, love?

Miho (IJ): Yes, An, I will.

Me: Townsend, you can relax for a while. I have a feeling that the Pravda tanks won't get here that early in the morning.

Townsend (yawning): Yes sir.

While Townsend reclines his chair and starts to take a nap, Miho and I continue to spot and look for the Pravda tanks that may come later.

About 5 hours later, close to 1145 hours

Miho and I are still spotting for the Pravda tanks after sleeping next to each other (Miho on my shoulder again) from 0700-1000 hours and before that spotting as well, while Townsend already woke up since 0900 hours. That was, until I begin to see the Pravda tanks approach the center of the village.

Miho (IJ): Love?

Me (IJ): Yeah?

Miho (IJ) (through the binoculars): I see that Pravda's tanks have reached the center of the city.

Me (IJ): I see it as well through my camera. I will get the units online.

Miho (IJ): But what if they shoot at us? And also, be mindful of their tactics. They also like to place traps, though they don't do hit-and-run like you all do.

Me (IJ): They probably won't be able to find our tanks that easily, since we're well camouflaged, and plus, this tank isn't visible to their radar, if they have one. Also, yes, I know their tactics well, though our tactics are more developed and flexible, which will give us an advantage in this battlefield, since we're using asymmetrical warfare, while they're using symmetrical warfare. Because of this, expect them to fire blindly at us.

Miho (IJ): I see. Very well then, lead the way.

I then get on the radio with the other units.

Me (radio): Cho hết đơn vị, xê tăng của Pravda đã đến trung tâm làng rối. Mình trị giá quá cao bao nhiêu xê tăng Pravda có. (All units, the tanks of Pravda have arrived in the village center. We have probably overestimated the amount of tanks they brought.)

McPearson (radio): Thì không phải có khoảng 50 xê tăng đúng không? (So, they don't have 50 tanks?)

Me (radio): Đúng rối, chỉ có 30 xê tăng thôi.  (Correct, they only have 30 tanks.)

Thompson (radio): Thì bây giớ là mình làm gì ạ tư lệnh? (So what now, Commander?)

Me (radio): Bây giớ mình sẽ bắn ở xê tăng Pravda trong một loạt, hết xê tăng, rõ chưa? (Right now, we will fire in a volley, at all their tanks, understood?)

HSAW members: Rõ! (Understood!)

Me (radio): Chuẩn bị đi. (Prepare yourselves.)

I then turn back to Miho.

Me (IJ): Should our tank target that KV-2 over there? (I point at the camera screen at the KV-2)

Miho (IJ): Yes, I believe we should. That could provide a hindrance to McPearson's M1A2Cs.

Me (IJ): Alright then.

I then start to look at my ammunition.

Me (thinking): Since it's a KV-2, I think I should load a Vaccum-1 (APFSDS) first before I load a Telnik HEAT-Frag round.

Me: Loading, Vaccum-1! (I then hear the autoloader load the Vaccum-1 APFSDS round in the turret)

Townsend: Sir, you're loading an APFSDS round first sir?

Me: Townsend, I would rather be sure to be able to hit the KV-2's armor, than not, since the KV-2 might provide good fire against the M1A2Cs.

Townsend: But won't it just turn over due to the weight?

Me: Better safe than sorry. Don't worry, I'll load a Telnik round later.

I then wait for a few seconds.

Me: I think we're ready.

Miho: Up to you. Fire at will.

I then get on the radio again.

Me (radio): Chuẩn bị! (Ready!)

All the crews get ready.

Me (radio): BẮN! (FIRE!)

I then fired the Vacuum 1, scoring a direct hit at the KV-2 and I see the white flag pop up. All the other tanks begin to fire in the volley, scoring some direct hits at the T-34-76s and T-34-85s, but some shots miss. Though they missed, we continued firing at Pravda tanks as they were trying frantically to find our positions and fire blindly. Not surprising enough, the shots that were close to our tank were directed away via the electromagnetic waves from our APS system. Miho was surprised when she saw.

Me (IJ): Told ya, love.

Miho (IJ) (squealing): That is so cool!

We keep firing at the Pravda until one by one, all their tanks were disabled, including Nonna's IS-2, with me getting a final kill at their commander's tank, Katyusha's T-34-85.

A few minutes earlier, Pravda side

Third Person POV:

After some much navigation and being lost in the Guamanian forests for some time, the Pravda Sensha Do team managed to reach the village center.

Nonna: Katyusha, do you suggest we capture this hardpoint? It could provide a launching point against the Americans later.

Katyusha: Yes, Nonna. Since there is no one here yet, we could take the position and set up an outpost here and strike the American flanks further to the North.

Nonna: I think that is a great plan, Katyusha. You have come a long way.

Katyusha: Even though there is no one here, we have to clear the area first before we take this town. Secure the-

Just when Katyusha said that, unknown fire was directed at them, destroying the KV-2 immediately.

Katyusha: Who is shooting at us?!

Nonna: I don't know, Commander.

As Nonna said that, some of the T-34s were being taken out as well.

Katyusha: Nonna, try firing at those trees and bushes over there (points to the southern part of the village)

Nonna: Yes maam.

Nonna then directs her crew to open fire at those bushes, but does little effect.

Katyusha: The enemy is hiding somewhere, but we don't know where! Keep firing at those bushes.

The rest of Pravda's tanks fired at the trees an bushes blindly, before they all got taken out.

Nonna: Katyusha, I think this village is l-

She was then hit from a HEAT-Frag shell from one of the M1A2Cs expertly hiding in the bushes to the north.

Katyusha: NONNA!

Katyusha kept directing her crew to fire at the trees and bushes until her tank was knocked out by An's Telnik HEAT-Frag round. Katyusha then lies on the commander's hatch.

Katyusha: The battle is already lost. And we don't even know where the enemy is. I think we underestimated them all along.

Nonna: I think we did. Your thoughts, Klara?

Klara came out of her tank and inspected the damage to her T-34-85.

Klara: These tank rounds don't appear to be WW2 tank shells. They appear to modern tank rounds. Though, I'm not sure if we were hit by APFSDS or HEAT rounds.

Katyusha: In any case, we still lost. All of our tanks are disabled and we won't have recovery vehicles to pick these tanks all up.

It was then the HSAW emerged from the shadows to take the city.

Back to the HSAW

An's POV:

Me: Cho hết đơn vị, mình đã vô hiệu hóa hết xê tăng của Pravda rồi, tiến lên và giải phòng làng nay. (All units, we have successfully destroyed all of Pravda's tanks, move forward and liberate this village.)

HSAW crewmembers: Rõ! (Understood!)

All of our T-14s and M1A2Cs came out of the bushes and started to move forward to the village center to plant our flag and signal that the village is ours. When we reached the village, McPearson jumped out of his tank and planted the flag, while I came out to inspect the damage to Pravda's tanks and meet their commander. Miho also came along with me.

Katyusha (IJ): Commander Dương?

Me (IJ): Yep that's me.

Katyusha (IJ) (points at Miho): And Mihosha? What are you doing on the enemy's side? Are you a traitor to Sensha Do?

Me (IJ): Hey, take that back! She isn't!

Miho (IJ): The only reason why I'm here is because of my injury. (she then shows Katyusha her broken leg) Since my sister doesn't trust the Federation to allow me to rest for the time being of my injury, this lovely boy and his school decided to take me under his care instead. Also, I'm a observer, so of course I have to go to his battles.

Katyusha (IJ): But that doesn't explain that he used dirty tactics on us!

Miho (IJ): It's not dirty tactics, Katyusha. It's called skill. His school fights in a way that may be considered unconventional to us girls, but to him, he had to fight like that and adapt a different mindset to survive. He's a war veteran, and a Marine, don't you remember?

Katyusha (IJ): I remember. But why were not able to find out where he was? And what's with the modern tanks?

Me (IJ): It takes years of experience to perfect the art of camouflaging tanks, and we did this so that we could fight in a way that is suitable to us. And with the modern tanks, it's normal for us. Some of the other schools have modern tanks like us too, so I find it completely normal.

Nonna (IJ): What's with the AR looking rifle slung to your shoulder, and your pistol in your holster?

Me (IJ): Oh this? (I then put my 2 hands on the M27) This is the M27 IAR, a further modification of the German HK416 in current service with the United States Marine Corps, designed to able to sustain fire in fully automatic, hence the heavier barrel. And this (I sling my M27 back and pull out my M45A1) is the M45A1, used to be service pistol of the Marine Corps in .45 ACP, now replaced by the 9mm Sig Sauer M18.

Klara (IJ): And why do you look like a fully kitted soldier ready to go to war?

Miho (IJ): First of all, don't call him a soldier. He's a Marine. Also, it's not usual for the boys to look like they are going to war. Also, remember they just came out of a war.

Katyusha (IJ): Yes, we know.

Miho (IJ): And the actual reason why they are fully kitted out unlike us is because their game mode, the current game mode we're playing now, usually lasts for a long time. Usually these matches last at least a month and to survive, they have to be able to use a firearm just in case if the enemy wants to take them prisoner, or if they are encounter wildlife in the forest. That's why.

Katyusha (IJ): That makes sense. But don't you have another reason for staying with the boys?

Miho (IJ): Yes. It's because we faced them 5 days earlier, and they destroyed all our tanks with combined shells and RPG rounds. An RPG round from the Commander here (waves to me) hit my Panzer IV on the left side of the turret and deformed it enough that it broke my leg. When the battle was finished, all of the HSAW infantrymen started to treat the wounded, on both side, and Commander Dương went to my tank and cared for my broken leg that evening. It was then that I saw a change in heart, that these boys weren't trying to shame us, they were only fighting to protect their sport, and they even showed compassion to us in the aftermath of the battle.

By the end of it all, the Pravda girls were shocked.

Katyusha (IJ): So we have been fighting in this sport, just to take away something dear to the boys.

Nonna (IJ): That's just evil I must say. They didn't even have a right to say anything to the Federation.

Klara (IJ): We've been brainwashed to think this way. Now, I see a light in the tunnel, and we are all so wrong in our ways.

They all whispered among themselves. I could tell they're doubting the Federation's ethics now.

Katyusha (IJ): So Commander Dương and Mihosha. As much as I say that you both are right about the Federation all along, we unfortunately have to continue this battle, regardless of our beliefs.

Me (IJ): I completely understand. You don't want the Federation to get suspicious and try to have a watch on you, correct?

Katyusha (IJ): Correct, and we continue our discussion about this matter later at our base. Have any of the other schools known this?

Me (IJ): Kuromorimine and Miho's Ooarai.

Katyusha looked at me with wide eyes.

Katyusha (IJ): Kuromorimine knew about this?! Why didn't they tell us?!

Me (IJ): Because if Maho or Erika told you, you would've called them traitors to Sensha Do.

Katyusha (IJ): Fair enough. Though we're still trying our best in this match, and we won't give up!

Me (IJ): That's the spirit! But your tanks need serious repairing though.

Klara (IJ): We know. What rounds did you use on us?

Me (IJ): A combination of Sabots and HEAT rounds. Though their names are a secret.

Nonna (IJ): We understand. So what now?

Me (IJ): We have to go in a bit. Though I suggest you collect all your tanks quickly and leave, since this village is ours.

Katyusha (IJ): Though the only problem is, how are going to get our 30 tanks back?

Me (IJ): Recovery vehicles?

Katyusha (IJ): I was thinking about that as well. Though it's going to take us time, but...I'm sure we can have our vehicles tow us out of here.

Meanwhile the HSAW members started to sing the first few lines of our school hymn, Giải Phòng Miền Nam, while saluting to our official flag that had been planted in the center of the village.

HSAW crewmembers:

First Verse:

Giải phóng miền Nam, chung ta cùng quyết tiến bước!

(To liberate the South, we decided to advance!)

Diệt Đế quốc Mỹ, phá tan bè lũ bán nước!

(To exterminate the American imperialists, and destroy the country sellers.)

Ôi xương tan máu rơi, lòng hận thù ngất trời.

(Oh bones have broken, and blood has fallen, the hatred is rising high.)

Sông núi bao nhiêu năm cắt rời.

(Our country has been separated for so long.)

Klara (IJ): What are they singing?

Miho (IJ): Their school hymn. "Giải phòng Miền Nam" I think it was called?

Me (IJ): Yes Miho, it is Giải Phòng Miền Nam.

Katyusha (IJ): What's its translation?

Me (IJ): It means "Liberate the South" in Vietnamese.

Nonna (IJ): Is it a war song?

Miho (IJ): Yes. It was the anthem used by the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam, or known in our literature as the Việt Cộng.

Klara (IJ): Interesting. I might look that up when we come back.

Nonna (IJ): You 2 should go sing with the rest of the school.

Me (IJ): Alright, Miho?

Miho (IJ): Okay.

Miho and I went back to the HSAW crowd and continued to sing the hymn while the Pravda girls looked on.

Me, Miho, and HSAW crewmembers:

Đây Cửu Long hùng tráng. Đây Trường Sơn vinh quang.

(Here, the sacred Mekong, here, glorious Truong Son Mountains.)

Thúc giục đoàn ta xung phong đi giết thù.

(Are urging us to advance to kill the enemy.)

Vai sát vai chung một bóng cờ!

(Shoulder to shoulder, under a common flag!)

Second Verse:

Vùng lên! Nhân dân miền Nam anh hùng!

(Arise! Ye brave people of the South!)

Vùng lên! Xông pha vượt qua bão bùng.

(Arise! Let us go through these storms.)

Thề cứu lấy nước nhà! Thề hy sinh đến cùng!

(We'll save the homeland, to the end we'll sacrifice!)

Cầm gươm, ôm súng, xông tới!

(Hold your swords and guns, let us go forward!)

Vận nước đã đến rồi. Bình minh chiếu khắp nơi.

(The chance is coming up, the sun shines everywhere.)

Nguyện xây non nước sáng tươi muôn đời.

(We'll build up our nation, forever shining.)

Once we were done, all the Pravda girls cheered and clapped for us.

Me (IJ): Thank you all for listening, but we must get going now! See you all in the next battle!

All the HSAW crewmembers get back inside their vehicles and get ready to move, with Miho and I doing the same. While all the girls from Pravda were waving us off, Thompson looked like he was talking and getting cozy with Nonna.

Miho (IJ): So, it looks like another one of our members fell in love with the enemy. Just like us isn't it? (she giggles)

Me (IJ): Yes, but at least they all look to be getting along with each other. I just hope that it ends well with all of us.

Miho (IJ): Yes I hope so too, love. (she then holds onto my hand and briefly kisses me)

I then kiss back for a few seconds before we break apart for some air.

Me (IJ): Better, my angel?

Miho (IJ): Yes, love.

Me (IJ): Now, let's go check on Thompson.

Miho and I walk up to Thompson holding our hands until we came close to him.

Me: So, Thompson, it looks like you found yourself a girl, huh?

Thompson (with red cheeks): Uh...

Me: Don't deny it. You keep teasing me about Miho, and now you find yourself a girl. Now how does it feel getting teased back?

Thompson: Shut up, sir.

Me: Yeah, yeah. Though if you hook up with Nonna, I approve of it. (I whisper to his ear) Just don't do naughty stuff too early will you?

Thompson gets bright red again.

Thompson: Yes sir! (he salutes me)

Me (i salute back): At ease Private. I will give you some time to say goodbye to her before we leave.

Thompson: Yes sir.

Me (IJ): Miho, it's time to go.

Miho (IJ): Okay.

Miho and I apporached our tank and as like before, I helped her into the commander's seat while I took the gunner's right next to her. Once Thompson was done talking to Nonna, he went back into his M1A2C and we start to drive away from the village.

McPearson (radio): Sir? What do we do now?

Me (radio): Now, we go support the NWSTT in taking Yona. They are probably taking a heavy beating right now.

McPearson (radio): Yes sir. And also, what's the status now?

Me (radio): Our forces have a total of 4 hardpoints, while the Japanese also have 4 hardpoints, due to the LACLA (Los Angeles College of Liberal Arts) being beaten back at the village of Piti by Kuromorimine, and the CTHHS (Charleston Tankery History High School) being beaten at the village of Merizo, to the south, by Saunders, near where we will be supporting the NWSTT against the University All-Star team.

McPearson (radio): But sir, don't they have a sniper are their side? Miho, you know her?

Miho (radio): Yes, her name is Naomi. Probably one of the best tank snipers on my side.

Me (radio): But we have a deadly sniper within our arsenal as well.

McPearson (radio): Who?

Me (radio): Anderson. Also known as "the guy who made the shot at 3 miles"

McPearson (radio): Oh yeah. He won us that battle that won us the US Tankery National Championship.

Me (radio): Right. Anderson?

Anderson (radio): Yes sir?

Me (radio): If we have to go against Saunders later, make sure to snipe Naomi's tank from afar. She might give us trouble.

Anderson (radio): Rog' sir.

Me (radio): Alright, now, let's get moving to the south so that we can support our brothers!

HSAW crewmembers: Yes sir!

We then proceeded to move south, ready to support our guys stuck in a stalemate by the University All-Stars team at Yona.

Support Objective: Assist the NYSTT at Yona against the University All-Stars team
