Once more, Dear friends

*The Bridge*

Steele and Twilight met 5 miles from where they were suppose to capture and hold a bridge that would lead them into a back door in the first nation that was under Imperium control.

" There's a tank platoon that's parked here. The Bolts and Luftwaffe will begin their bombing run at 2 AM. The infantry will move up with tank support. Charlie Company and Foxtrot will move to the left flank while Germane troops take the right." Twilight stated pointing to each area that showed arrows of where the forces were going to attack.

"Right. We'll be moving with the main assault. Twilight, Luna wants you with the Germanes." Steele stated getting a nod from her.

"Wonderva! It vill be a sight to see vith you in action vith us." Panzerschreck smiled as the mare of Tiger 001 grinned having a great time a few weeks ago with the mares.

"Ja!" Gewehr cheered.

"Zhe 3rd Panzer Lehr division vill move on zhe 2nd Maremacht Division's right flank to provide panzer support. Zhe 309th Artillery Division vill be providing fire support before zhe attack starts." Panzerschreck stated getting a nod from the others just as they heard what sounded like thunder before explosions rocked the area ahead of them.

"Looks like they started early." Steele said they all looked out towards where the city was being completely devastated.

"What do you think it's like in there?" Thunder Dawn asked as the mares of Tiger 001 looked out towards the burning city.

" Hell on earth. I hope its worse for them." Dash said as they saw spotlights search the skies as and tracers shot into the sky as they saw pegasus flying over dropping the payload before breaking off and heading back to rearm as they saw some drop from the sky.

"Come on we need to get ready. Get some shut eye because your gonna need it." Twilight ordered her crew as she left with Panzerschreck and Gewehr to inspect the lines.

(Outskirts of the city)

"Target right 200 meters! Fire!" Twilight yelled.

THOOM!

"Tank destroyed!" Dash reported.

"Round up!" AJ yelled as they heard the sound of the hull MG 34 coming to life.

"Enemy in the open 100 meters!" Pinkie yelled as she fired into the group shredding them apart blowing a few limbs off.

"Hit that whorse with the MG!" Twilight yelled spotting a mare in front of them trying to turn a AT gun towards them.

THOOM!

"Enemy AT is out of action!" Dash yelled as AJ loaded another round.

[Zhis is Panzer! Continue zhe assualt, push zhem out!]

Twilight watched as a few Germane soldiers pushed ahead of them before they heard a banging on the hatch. Twilight opened it to see Gewehr there.

"Colonel! I'll be your spotter! Ve have a building around zhe vay zhat has MG positions in a building zhat has zhird platoon pinned!" She yelled getting a nod from the mare.

"Alright! Shy advance up the road, AJ load HE!" Twilight yelled as they lurched forward with a few germane squads using the tank as cover while another tank passed them and around the corner when it exploded.

"Sweet Celestia! I can't move up if theres a AT around that corner! You're gonna have to take that out first!" Twilight yelled as she watched in horror as a few of the crew tried to get out of the tank while on fire screaming.

Twilight jumped out wrapping her magic around them and smother the flames.

"MEDIC!! OH CELESTIA! MEDIC!!!" She saw a mare with a red cross running towards her only for her to drop dead from a shot to the head.

"FUCK! Don't worry I got you!" She yelled to the screaming stallion just when she was blown off her hooves.

"Twilight!!" She heard Gewehr and waved to she was ok before looking back to see the stallions upper body gone. She stared in horror as she scrambled away while the other stallion laid motionless next to his burning tank.

She felt Gewehr grab her and pull her to the Tiger as a soldier next to them went down from a sniper shot.

"Get to cover ma'am! MEDIC!" Gewehr screamed as rounds popped around them kicking up dirt as they moved back to the tank.

Twilight felt more hooves on her to see a stallion with a green mane and red coat.

"Ma'am are you hit?!" He yelled over the gunfire as more troops poured into the area.

"No I'm fine just a little winded." She said as she watched more soldiers get mowed down making her grit her teeth.

"Gewehr! I want you to find those AT guns and mark them! We'll take care of the rest!" Twilight yelled climbing onto the Tiger and back into her hatch as a few more germane tanks pulled up behind them.

"Yes ma'am!" She watched the young mare run through the hail bullets while all those around her that followed seemed to be taken down.

"PINKIE! Grab the portable and follow Gewehr! We need to know when to advance!" Twilight yelled as the pink mare nodded and opened her hatch grabbing a radio from the back of the Tiger took off after the other mare.

'Come on come on!' Twilight said waiting for Pinkie to call.

[Gun marked Twi!]

"Shy move up! Dash be ready to fire!" Twilight yelled as they lurched forward and turned the corner as Dash rotated the turret left as they spotted a AT gun 100 meters to their left.

"FIRE!"

THOOM!

Twilight smiled as the gun blew apart in a grand display.

"All tracks move up and support the infantry!"

[Ja! Bewegen sie sich aur der rechten seite!]

"Round loaded!"

"Fire at will take down that building!"

THOOM!!!

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

She smiled as the other tanks moved ahead of the infantry blowing the building apart. She saw Pinkie and Gewehr running back to her making let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Nice shot Dash!" Pinkie yelled climbing onto the tank after putting the portable radio away.

"Pinkie that was awesome!" Dash yelled as Gewehr ran up to them climbing onto the tank.

"Private I'm putting you in for a promotion! That was great work out there!" Twilight yelled as the mare smiled.

"Thank you ma'am!" She beamed as the Tiger lurched forwards as Dash fired another round into the building as it shifted and collapsed in on itself. A cheer rang out as the infantry charged ahead.

"I have to get back to my unit! I'll see you later Twilight!" Gewehr yelled as she hopped down from the Tiger and joined the charge.

" Advance with the infantry! take the left side!" She radioed.

[Ja, ma'am!]

"Come on girls this battle isn't over yet." Twilight said just as she saw Steele along with scores of Equestrian infantry going down a street heading for the bridge.

"There's Steele and the others! Move up and push for the bridge!" She radioed as they all charged forwards while they saw Imperial troops retreating across the bridge while then Germane and Equestrian troops fired at them cutting them down with no mercy.

"GIVE IT TO THEM!"

"KILL THEM ALL!" She could hear her fell Equestrian scream out for blood as they all charged the bridge after them taking the other side and stepping into the first Imperial held country.

"After a year fighting on our lands it's their turn to shed blood on their lands." Twilight said as Equestrian and Germane tanks rolled across the bridge to support their comrades.

"Hey Twi." The mare looked over to see Steele's Tiger next to her.

"Hey Steele."

"Kinda surreal huh? After a year of fighting on our own turf we're finally taking the fight to them." He said as Twilight nodded while a few Germane and Equestrian soldiers walked up to them with a group of Imperial soldiers.

"Ma'am! What do we do with these guys?" A stallion asked as the two commanders looked at each other.

"You know your orders. Handle it." She said getting a nod from the Equestrian troops as they shoved them to the lip of a crater.

"What are you going to do with- BLAM! BLAAAAMMM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAAAAAAAAMMM!!!

"We don't have any means to take care of POW's right now. Sie kennen thre bestellungen." She said as the Germane troops nodded before heading to rejoin their units.

"You think this is right Twi?" Steele asked as she sighed.

"No but orders are orders. I'm not thrilled about them but I'm just following them."

"Yeah."

The two watched as explosions went off on the other side of the canyon along the sound of gun and tank fire.
