A war storyby Col_R4inbow_D4shChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 6.5 [Meanwhile by Soarin and Rainbow Dash]Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9Chapter 10 [Final Chapter]Chapter 1.5 [What happend while Rainbow was unconscious]Chapter 1Chapter 1 We were stationed in Konja [Poland] and were supposed to help Crystal Empire [Germany] to throw the enemy's attack back, our first order was to take a city called Karakolt back from the Griffins Empire [Russia], We had 8 battalions some Air support and a small artillery platoon, what looked like a simple mission, turned out completely different Bravo company was suppost to hold back enemys reinforcements, While we captured the town, I hoped it would have been enough but... "Commander, Bravo company just radioded over that a large russian armored force is on the way here, if they don't get support the russians well be here by 1800 hours" Fluttershy said "Damit, ok tell Echo and Foxtrot to go and support them, and send Hotel-Niner with them they could use the air support" Rainbow replied "Understood. Here is Delta, the commander just gave order that Echo and Foxtrot are send to support Bravo, And Hotel-Niner will support you from the air" Fluttershy answered "Affirmative moving out, and Delta, Bravo, Hotel-Niner and Echo to go on channel 34" Foxtrot replied "Affirmative radioing it over now." Fluttershy answered "Okay, Now tell Charlie to go west, they need to spot for Yankee-Five so they can give accurate fire support and tell them to take channel 38" Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am, Charlie company, you are ordered to go west and give accurate fire order to Yankee-Five you have channel 38" Fluttershy told them "Tell Sierra and Alpha to support us we need to get that city back, hotel-Seven-Niner needs to cover us from air attacks" Rainbow ordered "Sierra and Alpha you support us, we will attack the city, hotel Seven-niner you will cover us from air attacks" Fluttershy said "this is going to be a hard fight." Twilight said "I know but we need to take that city, let's get a move on." Rainbow replied Everything went as planned... We lost less soldiers than expected... until, "Okay we nearly got the town back we only need to..." Rainbow began before getting cut off "Ma'am do you read us?" Charlie asked "Yes, what is it?" Rainbow replied "We just spotted 4 russian armored battalions coming you're way" charlie answered "What?!, where did they come from?" Rainbow asked "They went around the East." Charlie replied "How long till they are here?" Rainbow asked "About 2 hours Ma'am" Charlie answered "Okay, plan change... Here is Delta company, 4 armored russians battalions are coming directly at us, we need to move faster and then dig in." Rainbow ordered "Ma'am we are doing our best but they have better defence than we though, this might take some time" Alpha replied "We have no time, do it as fast you can, Sierra you will dig in at the North you will stay in support, Alpha as soon you're done you go east and take defence positions my company will take south, now get a move on" Rainbow answered We pushed harder than before it still took us quiet sometime, something around 20 minutes "Here is Alpha we broke they're defence and go now moving east to defend" Alpha said "Okay good, but move fast we only got about 1 hour" Rainbow replied We began to set up Sand bags, mines, and some anti-tank infantry in some buildings, after about 30 minutes we thought we would have enough defences up. "Hers Alpha again, we took defencive positions and are ready." Alpha said "Sierra here we're ready too" Sierra added "Okay good, Sierra remember you are in support, If somepony needs help you need to move as soon as you can " Rainbow replied "Ma'am, no worries, we are always ready." Sierra answered "Charlie how long?" Rainbow asked "Ehmm about 40 minutes Ma'am" Charlie replied "Okay 40 Minutes everypony, be ready this is goi..." Rainbow got cut off "Ma'am! We are under heavy artillery attack!" Sierra exclaimed "What?, Artillery but how. Charlie new order you go and destroy that artillery!" Rainbow ordered "I see 2 battalions rolling in on us, we can't stand alone here we need support or we're forced to retreat." Sierra added "No, you won't I will send half my company to you make good use of them." Rainbow answered "Thank you Ma'am" Sierra replied "6 Battalions this is going to be hard." Rainbow thought "Heres Alpha we are getting attacked by 2 battalions, but we can stand it." Alpha said "Okay understood, try to hold as long as you can" Rainbow replied We already had a rough begin but we managed to stand our ground for quiet some time. Still after about 30 minutes... "Delta Company come in, we can't hold on much longer, they throw to much at us, we need to fall back!" Alpha exclaimed "Affirmative you go support Sierra, you both go into the attack and punch a hole though they offinsive, my company will defend alone in the mean time, understood?" Rainbow replied "yes Ma'am." alpha answered "Okay Delta Company brase yourselfs because this is going to be a rough fight." Rainbow said After about 45 Minutes with heavys loses. Ma'am here is platoon 1, we are ready pummeled pretty hard we could... The pony got cut off "Okay, Platoon 3 you go support them" Rainbow answered "Affirmative," A pony replied We held out for quiet some time it took Alpha and Sierra sometime but they finally after about 10 til 1 minutes they managed to break though, So we were falling back... Into enemys territory, We were under heavy attack and lost a good ammount of soldier... The next thing I know there was a big explosion somewhere nearby and then nothing, as I woke up... "Heres Big Mac, Delta you go with Echo and clean the town, the rest will go arround and take them by suprise, Foxtrot and Sierra you go left while Bravo and my company will go right, let's move out." Big Mac ordered "Ughhh, My Head." Rainbow mumbled "Good to finally see you awake Dash." Twilight said "What happend and where are we?" Rainbow asked "There was a big explosion after that nothing else came from you, I looked back at you and you were unconsious, with that Alpha took over command since Big Mac is rank next after you. We are currently trying to get the city back... again" Twilight replied "Okay, now what's the plan?" Rainbow asked "We will go with Echo into full offensive while Bravo, Foxtrot, Sierra and Alpha go around different sides." Twilight answered "Sounds like a good plan. Let's do it." Rainbow replied "Dash, I hate to say it but in this state you can't fight." Twilight replied "What are you talking about. I only hit my head a little to hard that's all." Rainbow shrugged "I'm sorry Dash but you may have a concussion, a pretty bad one maybe." Twilight replied "but... I can't just sit around doing nothing" Rainbow said "I'm sorry Dash but..." Twilight got cut off "Okay, Okay you know what just go you lose time because of me." Rainbow said "Thanks for understanding Dash." Twilight said "Yea, Yea no problem now shut up and go!" Rainbow replied And so they attacked, some pretty rough fighting was going on, I could tell by the radioing. Your priority was to take the town back by noon, The fight already lasted for about 1 or 2 hours. "Heres Big Mac we are going to need longer than expected any luck by you Foxtrot?" Big Mac said "No sorry sir, we're having problemms too there are about 5 battalions here, we need to retreat." Foxtrot replied "Wait 5 Battalions? that doesn't makes any sense we got about 7 by us how did..." Big Mac got cut off "Hey Big Mac I hate to interrupt but I spotted several battalions moving in from your left you should fall back." Rainbow said "Thanks for the warning, retreating now." Big Mac replied "Twilight here, we got the town back come in and take defence positions." Twilight said "Affirmative coming in. Foxtrot and Sierra you fall back too, Delta will support you while Echo will support us." Big Mac orded "Affirmative." Sierra replied "Yes Sir." Foxtrot answered "Okay... Soarin... NOW!" Big Mac exclaimed With that arillery began to rain down onto the russians, the rain lastet very long for a artillery barage about 2 till 3 minutes later it ended and.. "What?!, Get ready they're still coming!" Big Mac exclaimed "Sir! they rushed us from the south. we are getting overrun! we need *Static*" Sierra said "Sierra?! Sierra come in... Damit!" Big Mac replied "Twilight here *Static* need to retre *static*" Twilight said "Delta say again, I read you one by one!" Big Mac replied "Falling Back to secondary position." Twilight said again "Sir can't hold falling back to Delta!" Bravo exclaimed "Affirmative." Big Mac replied "Big Mac fallback into the town center I spotted more battalions coming you're way." Rainbow said "This is insane how many battalions will they send?!" Big Mac replied "I don't know, and I don't care because I got a nasty suprise for those commies." Rainbow answered "Rainbow Dash to all companies, fall back into the town center NOW!" Rainbow ordered Every company did as told and in under 2 minutes everypony stood their ground at the town centre "Dash...?" Big Mac asked "Just wait, look into the sky." Rainbow replied A bomber squadron came into view, Ready for carpet bombing everything around the city centre. 7 bombers dropped they're load and turned. First everything was quiet but then. All you could hear were explosions everywhere. It was a sight indescribable, But as soon the bombing was over... "WOOHAHA" Foxtrot shouted "take that you commie bastards!" Twilight exclaimed "Hell yes!" Big Mac shouted "Now everypony, COUNTER ATTACK!, we need to take back what's left of the city and... no..." Rainbow went quiet for some seconds "What is it...? Dash?" Big Mac asked "About 15 more divisions are coming in and fast looks like with air support too... Everypony get out of...*Gun Shoots followed by Static*" Rainbow shouted before getting cut off "Dash? ugh, okay everpony you heard her get ready heavy attack incoming." Big Mac said "But 15 divisions... where did they come from" Twilight asked "I don't know, I lost contact to Dash too." Big Mac replied "Damit we need to get to her!" Twilight replied "What we need to do is dig in and fend the attackers of." Big Mac answered "Okay then..." Twilight replied Chapter 2Chapter 2 I woke up on the ground, My Head felt like shit, but still I stood up and walked over to the ham radio "heres Rainbow Dash, Big Mac come in." Rainbow said "Big Mac?" She asked again "hmmm... That's wierd." She thought "Bravo come in." Rainbow said "Charlie... Anypony!" Rainbow asked "Colonel?" A Soldier asked "Finally were is everypony?" Rainbow asked "Ma'am I'm everything that is left from the companys. the rest have gotten dragged off..." the Soldier answered "Dragged off? where?" Rainbow asked "They went ehmm... north, it was a rather large force about 10 battalions." the soldier replied "What happend to the town?" Rainbow asked but pretty much already knew the answer "War happend Ma'am, we defended till the last soldier... but we were outnumbered 4 to 1." the soldier answered "Hmm... so North, that can only mean..." replied "Ma'am I hope you don't plan to go alone after them." the soldier said "Well actually..." Rainbow replied "Ma'am you have no chance alone." the soldier said "I know and I don't care, so..." Rainbow answered "Ma'am... It was an honor to fight with you." the soldier replied "Pleasure is on my site too... So north from here is a prison camp called Grypha. You soldier, try to get to the HQ and tell them Operation: Typhoon has started, they need to send some battalions to attack the city, tell them something around 11 Armored Battalion, 7 Infantry Battalions and some Heavy anti air defence, if they ask you who you got that order from tell them from me, if they don't trust you just tell them. Courage. they should now what is ment by it." Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am and Good luck" the soldier replied With that I began to make my way to the war prison I had nothing than a M4 with 2 Magazines, Binoculars and a survival knife. I began to make my way to the War prison, after about 3 hours of walking, I saw a patrol. "A patrol, a pretty small one though, 2 trucks and a combat jeep, should I...?" Rainbow thought Rainbow Dash made her way slow, steady and stealthy, the patrol has a small break at a small house... "That's they're last break," Rainbow Dash thought I walked around the house, and saw 2 Griffins just staying there, they faced the other direction. "Please, don't turn around," Rainbow thought She walked up to 1 of the Griffins and stabbed him in the throat, the second Griffin turned just little too late as the knife hit him right in the chest. "If all of them are like this, I will take them out in no time," Rainbow thought out loud She saw the jeep but no Griffin sat in it, she then moved up to the jeep only paying little attention, A pony spotted her and shot, but shot right past her, but it was enough to get the attention of the other ponies. "Damit, well looks like it there's no way arround now," Rainbow thought Dash took out her M4 taking out that pony... but 5 more came around the corner... But to her luck they didn't spotted her "Okay no it's offical, these Griffins are blind, But anyway how am I Supposed to take them out, I only got this M4 and... The .50 cal on the jeep" Rainbow thought I open the door of the jeep as quiet as she could, and jumped in, I moved up to the .50 cal, and began to pretty much shred them appart, before the Griffins could react 2 of them were already dead, the other 3 hid behind the closest thing, I jumped out from the jeep "Okay, 2 Griffins ran right and 1 left," Rainbow thought She walked to the left side first, as she walked arround the corner from the house, A gun barrel was already held against her head "Damit, didn't saw that one coming," She mumbled "Last words?" The Griffin asked shaking a little "Nope," Rainbow answered with pretty much no care But the Griffin didn't shot "I... can't do this...," The Griffin said "...," Rainbow said nothing I grabbed the gun barrel, and moved it away from my head, I nodded at Her, and moved passed her, as I peeked around the other corner I saw the 2 griffins, I wanted to take out my weapon again and shot them, But before I did so I felt a claw on my sholder, I instantly turned. "Shhhh, I'm gonna help you, okay?" The griffin whispered I just nodded, I didn't knew what to say, The griffin walked over to the other 2 griffins, I wasn't able to hear what they talked about, The 2 griffins turned and pulled ot they're weapons, The next thing I know the griffin that wanted to help me knocked both of them out. I walked over slowly. The griffin turned and nodded, and I nodded back, She went over to one of the trucks and got all the weapons out and gave them to me, "They could come in handy," Rainbow replied The griffin said nothing, got into the truck and drove off, I shouted my thanks after her, but nothing else... after several seconds I looked in the second truck and found some C4 and some more guns, as soon as I got them I went over to the jeep putted everything in there, and was off. Several hours later Rainbow Dash followed another patrol at save distance, they had a break at a small village, she watched at they're behavior, one Griffin just kept talking while the other one said nothing and did nothing... His uniform covered everything from head to tail so nothing could be sean, and he had a helmet too "Hmmm that one guy says nothing and has a helmet and the perfect uniform, He that's my lucky day." she thought Rainbow got out from the truck, she went over there as fast and as quiet she could, and hid behind a house. " But how can I get them to split up... of course." she thought She looked for stuff to throw, and saw some stones she got over to them and picked them up. She threw them to the opposite house the 2 Griffins got up and looked around "That's right keep going you two... come on split up...," she thought and it worked they went into the house one of the Griffins went upside and the other one searched down stairs, Rainbow moved quickly, she threw another stone but this time to her former position, It was loud enough to make the Griffin down stair notice and he moved over... Rainbow got behind him and kicked him against the backside of the helmet, he went unconscious, Rainbow change the clothes she struggeld a little bit to get into it but she finally did it. "Now that I got this I... damit he comes...," She though. A gun shot, the other pony that was upstairs ran down around the corner and he saw his "Mate" killed something "Why did you...killed that griffin" the Griffin asked "Phew it works," Rainbow though. She turned but said nothing she pointed at the bloody knife besides the dead body and then to her wound "Hmm... Okay I guess... Now let's get a move on, don't want that to happen again." he answered Rainbow just nodded. They went over to the truck, Rainbow limped over to the co-driver side, and the went Griffin to the drivers side, with that they were off. Several hours later... again Rainbow and her "Mate" arrived at the prision, The driver talked with the guard and the gates opened. "Good... Now that I'm inside keep an eye out for them," She thought. They passed several cells, then Rainbow saw some pretty familiar faces, She stopped and turned looking at them "These are the guys from the big city battle." The Griffin explained Rainbow just nodded and get moving again I just walked around the whole rest of the day, to explore the prison, I went to bed but kept the Uniform on it was very early, the alarm didn't even got off yet, she got up and went back to the prison cells 5 Minutes Later She stood before the prison cell of her friends, she knocked against the bars to wake them up "What is it this time?" Big Mac asked "We already said we ain't gonna tell anythin' " Applejack said "And that's good." Rainbow replied "That voice..." Fluttershy said, "Rainbow?" Twilight asked "Yea it's me, listen I will get you guys out tomorrow, I only have to think for a plan..." Rainbow said "Ya what?, did you looked around ya?, we're in a prison cell surrounded by commies." Applejack replied "I know... hey how many from us are here?" Rainbow asked "Quiet some, why?" Twilight asked "I asked how many." Rainbow replied "Hmm... about 2 Companies why?." Twilight answered "okay, that's more then enough... guys I gotta go, see you later or tomorrow." Rainbow said "Dash... be careful." Soarin said "Will do." Rainbow replied She went back to her bunk, as soon she got out from the uniform and into the bed again, the alarm rang and she did like everyone else... only the second time. The rest of the day went pretty much "Normal" for commie standards, She stood some guard did something of this and that and that was pretty much it. But while she did she thought about a plan "Hmm, there are some gas tanks... I could use the C4 on them and distract everyone, yea that would be best," Rainbow thought As soon as my watch was over it was dark, everyone that had day watch went to bed and the night watch began, I went over to the prison cells and told the guard there that it was my watch now, he gave me the keys and walked away, after about 5 minutes I just walked out too and no one noticed. I had the C4 with me and placed it near the gas tanks right after that I went over to the armory, and wanted to get some weapons in my duffle bag, But on my way back saw a some armored vehicles. Still I carried on, about 5 minutes later I was in the armory for my luck noone was in there and I was able to get some weapons and ammo. The Next day... again Rainbow had though about a perfect plan yesterday, she went over to the prison cells once again "Guys, be ready, I will get you out of here within the hour" Rainbow told them "What's the sign?" Big Mac asked "The sign is me... as soon you see me in here again will be with key for the cells and you will be free." Rainbow replied "Understood." Big Mac replied Rainbow Dash nodded at them and went of. I needed to wait for the perfect moment and it took some times but after about 50 Minutes, I got it and... Meanwhile "When do you guys think it will happen?" Big Mac asked Suddenly Explosions and shooting from outside answered his question "There it is." Applejack replied "No shit Captain obvious," Big Mac replied "ha, I knew that C4 would come in handy." Rainbow thought Rainbow Dash ran down the hallway with a her duffle bag full of weapons and ammo on her back and the keyring for the cells in her mouth, she bursts through the doors and threw her helmet off and went over to the cell of her friends "There she is!" Fluttershy exclaimed "Dash... really... always?" Big Mac asked "What you know me, now let me get you..." Rainbow began, but she got cut off mid sentence as a Griffin jumped onto her back, she was thrown of her hoofs by the force , But the Griffin didn't sit long on her as she bucked him down, she rolled over stood back up and charged the Him, the ponies in the cells were only able to hear things crash down, and sometimes quiet crys of pain until, one very loud cry of pain was to hear, then a cracking bones and then... nothing, everything was quiet for a couple of seconds, until hoofsteps could be heard and somepony came into view "Rainbow!" Twilight exclaimed "What? did you thought that a punk like that could kill me?..." Rainbow replied breathing heavily "Ughh... my Head" She thought "No but having a knife in you back hoof isn't nothing." Big Mac answered "Wha?... ohh hehe ehmm..., let me just real quick open the door, before more come." Rainbow replied Rainbow Dash opend the cell door and told them to grab the gear in the duffle bag, and then to get everypony else out of the cells A couple of minutes Later Rainbow looked at her back hoof and thinking until, "Dash everypony is free, what now." Soarin asked "I saw some armored vehicles outside, we need to get there." Rainbow replied "Okay, you heard the lady, GO!" Soarin shouted Everypony began to charge outside except of Soarin. "Hey Dash let me help you with the knife real quick." Soarin said "No, No don't even dare to...!" Rainbow exclaimed Before she could finish her sentence Soarin pulled the knife in one swift move out "AGGGHH, WHAT DID I TELL YOU!" Rainbow shouted "Don't be such a baby, got bandages in the duffle bag?" Soarin replied "NO! that's one of the reasons why I didn't wanted that you pull it out!" Rainbow answered "Don't worry I will get you some, We only have to slow the bleeding down" Soarin replied "No, you already did enough. I'm just gonna use some parts of the uniform, you go out and help the others." Rainbow replied "Dash just tell me where the clinic is." Soarin replied "*Sigh* hmm... I think down the hallway and then to right." Rainbow answered "Okay, be right back." Soarin replied After about 4 minutes Soarin came back "Got them." Soarin said "Finally what took you so long?" Rainbow replied "hmm... for a Pony that doesn't want bandages you're pretty impatient *Chuckle*" Soarin said "Haha mighty funny." Rainbow replied "Sorry I just needed to find them and..." Soarin began before getting cut off "Okay, Okay just bandage me and shut up..." Rainbow replied "Dash, Why do you have a deep cut in your front hoof, it doesn't look you got it today?" Soarin asked "Ohh, yea long story, let's just say I needed it to get in here." Rainbow answered "You won't be walking good like this." Soarin replied "I don't care, as long as I can walk everything's fine." Rainbow replied "Dash... I'm gonna carry you okay?" Soarin said "What? no I... *Sigh* fine... Thanks." Rainbow replied Soarin placed Rainbow onto his back and carried her out, in the meanwhile pretty much the whole prison was wiped out. "Dash?" Big Mac asked "Yea...?" Rainbow replied "why are you... Ehmm nevermind, we got the whole prision, we would be ready to move out." Big Mac answered "okay we are gonna move back south, back to the city and going to retake it." Rainbow replied "What we can't do that we don't have enough soldiers for that." Soarin replied "Hmph, that's what you think, I sended a pony back to the HQ before I came here to tell them Operation: Typhoon is up, by now there should be 26 Battalions attacking the city" Rainbow answered "Wasn't that a backup plan for extreme situations?" Soarin asked "And what are you calling this?" Rainbow asked "Point taken... Okay, let's get a move on." Soarin replied "Soarin bring me to my company please." Rainbow said "Dash, You're in no condition to lead the charge nor a company." Soarin replied "Are you... why... AHH." Rainbow replied angry "Dash calm down, you will come with my company, we will stay a little behind, but we will see action." Soarin said "Ohh... Alright..." Rainbow replied Soarin walked to one of the tank and got in, Rainbow looked out for a second and signed everypony to get ready. "Okay for this operation Big Mac has the commando, but Twilight you will lead Delta, Soarin Charlie, Big Mac Alpha, now get a move on!" Rainbow said "Okay everypony, get ready we will move south and get the city back, but this time we will have much more support" Big Mac told them Chapter 3Chapter 3 half the day later "Okay everypony we will move in from the right, and help those 15 battalions out." Big Mac said "They will think we are on the russian side." Rainbow answered "I know we will take that as advantage. Now let's go." Big Mac replied "Spitfire, the enemy just got 2 battalions more we can't stand much longer." Fleetfoot said "Affirmative try to..." Spitfire began before getting cut off "Wait some of the tanks are shooting they're own tank..." Fleetfoot said "What why would they..." Spitfire began before getting cut off... again "Here is Captain Big Macintosh, We are in some russian vehicles and currently distracting some battalions, who is in charge of the ehmm... right side?" Big Mac asked "That's me sir, and thanks for the help." Fleetfoot answered "No problems, now listen you take advantage of that, our tanks will fallback behind them so you don't shot us and you charge in we will give fire support." Big Mac said "Big Mac I'm still giving the commands around here." Spitfire replied "I'm sorry to interrupt Spitfire but actually I am now." Rainbow said "Dash?" Spitfire asked "Yes and now that I am back in command I say listen to Big Mac." Rainbow replied "Affirmative Ma'am. You heard them Fleetfoot." Spitfire replied "Affirmative, moving in." Fleetfoot answered It took us a couple of minutes to take them out, they were so out of order some of them continued to shoot each other, but we didn't mind like that we had less Shells to waste "Okay all done here now let's get to the left side." Big Mac said We went over to the other side, It took us a little bit longer than the right side, but it was quick "Okay now that we have the then we will... ehmmm..." Big Mac didn't say anything "*Sigh*, we will go forward, into the attack, we are going to take a city called Talos next." Rainbow finished "Right." Big Mac said "Wow, wow into the attack?" Spitfire asked "Yes, I hope you know what the Plan: Typhoon means." Soarin replied "Yes I know... are you telling me..." Spitfire asked "Yes, he does." Rainbow cut off "*Sigh* Affirmative." Spitfire answered "Spitfire would be kind if you could send 1 platoon back and let them get reinforcements best would be 5 More armored Battalions and 4 mobile infantry battalions they shall send them to our mission target." Rainbow said "Ma'am yes Ma'am." Spitfire replied "Ohh and Spitfire before I forget it, your company is now added to Delta and Fleetfoot Yours to Charlie, and only to let you guys now Delta is led by Twilight and Charlie by Soarin." Rainbow said "Affirmative." Fleetfoot replied "Yes Ma'am." Spitfire said "Now that this is out of the way, Let's get going, Our next target is Talos" Rainbow said With that we went off again we had no break, no resupply, no nothing... we didn't care then. It so or so took us nearly 2 days to get there , and we didn't wanted to waste anymore time. On the way, we had a discussion on how to attack the city, I said pretty much nothing, I felt better I was nearly able to do everything like normal again, but I actually wanted to know how they deal with it. "Ma'am we are nearing the town any command?" Big Mac asked "Yes you take go though the middle, Delta left and Charlie right... Ehmm" Rainbow began, only to go silent "Ma'am no disrespect, but I think the right side is covered weakest Delta and Charlie should attack there and overrun them and then attack from behind the lines. While I distract them," Big Mac suggested "Fine, whatever then do that..." Rainbow replied a little angry "Ehmm..." Big Mac said "*Sigh* Sorry." Rainbow replied "No Problem, Now people get a move on..." Big Mac answered "Dash what's wrong?" Soarin asked "I don't know..." Rainbow replied "Dash." Soarin said "No really I don't know... Soarin." Rainbow answered "*Sigh* Get ready we are coming close." Rainbow said "*Sigh* Right..." Soarin replied The battle was ragin on for a long time they putted up heavy resistance. "Come on guys this is they're first defence line, why are you struggling to get past it?" Big Mac asked "Sir, they have very good positions, we can't,,,, Soarin began before getting cut off "Then don't let them have that advantage and push!" Big Mac answered "Yes sir," Soarin replied It still took us sometime, but we finally broke through we have gotten splitted up from the main force, it was only us and our radio has gotten damaged. "I knew we shouldn't have pushed that agressive," Soarin ranted "Ohh shush Soarin, If we wouldn't have pushed we would still fight there, and do noting productive" Rainbow replied "Yea, well better then to drive around behind enemy lines," Soarin answered "Hey soarin quick topic change... It's getting boring in here," Rainbow replied "And what do you want to do me with that?" Soarin asked "Well I wanted to asked if... I could climb onto you and shoot around with the MG on top," Rainbow replied "Well, I don't mind," Soarin shrugged "Yay!," Rainbow exclaimed I climbed onto Soarin's shoulder so he could still do his duty as commander and I was able to shoot some things with the top mounted MG and didn't needed to sit around all the time. "Just becareful up there," Soarin said "Yea, yea tell me targets and I do the rest," Rainbow replied "Okay, Well left side Infantry troop." Soarin answered "Got it... Hey Soarin I hope you know there's a enemy Tank behind us." Rainbow replied "What? gunner Tank behind us." Soarin answered "Affirmative." The gunner replied We took out several platoons, but we were further in enemys territory than expected, I could only hear a loud explosion and pretty much flew off Soarin's shoulders, and nearly of the tank, but was able the catch some iron bars on the turret back. "Soarin need help here!" Rainbow shouted He looked back only to see Rainbow holding at some bars, were some of they're equipment was stored. "Hold on Dash I'm coming." Soarin shouted back "Driver keep driving try to get back to our units." Soarin said "Yes Sir." The Driver replied Soarin climbed up and now stood on the outside from the turret, he was trying to get to me. "Soarin behind!" Rainbow shouted an enemy tank shoot hit our tank, but the shoot bounced, still that force was enough to bring Soarin to fall, he was able to get a hold on one of the side bars on of the turret but wasn't able to pull himself up again. "DRIVER SLOW DOWN!" Soarin shouted ontop of his lungs so the driver could hear the,. But driver didn't catch that perfectly, all he heard was "Driver st..." He thought for some moments, and in an instance he stopped the tank, the force sended Soarin flying a few feet but landed on the ground and rolled himself, but Rainbow wasn't as lucky, she hitted her left forehoof against the commanders cappola and the bone broke, she too flew a few feet and hitted her head against the ground pretty nasty, she rolled a few times till she came too a stop. "Dash, are you ok?! Soarin shouted "*BLAAARGH* I... felt... better..." Rainbow replied "Come on Dash we need to get in again, and get back to the unit we shouldn't have split up with them in the first place" Soarin said "Soarin... No can straight see even... you me help please" Rainbow replied "Sure." Soarin replied He sat Me onto his back and carried me into the Tank while the gunner covered us, and soon we in again and where off, we soon found some of our units again. They moved with them and soon the whole town was in their hands... ehmm Hoofs. Right after that they had a quick commander briefing. "Soarin where the hell have you been?" Fleetfoot asked "We got splitted up from the units and our radio is damaged." Soarin answered "Soarin... Wheres Dash?" Big Mac asked "Oops, right..." Soarin replied he went back into the tank got Rainbow and carried her and a bucket outside "Why are you carrying her and... a bucket?" Big Mac asked "he me carrying because me sick..." Rainbow replied Big Mac threw a questioning look at Soarin "We were in a pretty rough fight. A blast send Rainbow rolling back, She nearly rolled of the tank, but she held herself on some bars, on the turret back" Soarin said "And then?" Big Mac asked "He me tried to back get in, we hitted gotten and he fell of too..." Rainbow replied "..." No pony replied "After that I told the driver to slow down, he didn't quiet catch that and stop in the tracks... we flew off by the force and..." Soarin continued "Me hitted hoof on tank and ground to head..." Rainbow added "hey Medic, get her patched up!" Big Mac shouted "Yes Sir *Salute*." The Medic answered "I will bring her into the tent, be right back" Soarin said "Whay... ehhh Eyrie target next...ehhh... support wait for and uhh days tomorrow till wait and ehmm... tactic same like this and the rest you think...*Hmmph* Bucket! *BLAAARGH*" Rainbow said, before she vomited "*Sigh* Yes Ma'am." Big Mac replied With that Soarin carried Rainbow into the doctors tent. "Thanks soarin." Rainbow said "No problem. Doc inform me about her status as soon your done." Soarin said "Yes Sir." The Medic answered "By Dash." Soarin said "Bye..." Rainbow replied Meanwhile "She really doesn't looks good." Fleetfoot said "Don't mind her, she's been though worse." Big Mac said "I know but..." Fleetfoot said before getting cut off "No buts, let's focus, she said support will come in tomorrow, We need to wait till then, But we should be ready to move as soon they arrive, the next target is Eyrie." Big Mac said Later that day "So doc how does it look?" Soarin asked "Well she has a broken her left forehoof, she has something stuck in her right back hoof and has a deep cut in her right fore hoof and a pretty moderate till serve concussion, but despite all that she is in a very good status" The Medic answered "So better let her stay out of battle..." Soarin thought out loud "Yep that would probably be best." The Medic agreed "Soarin, that you?" Rainbow asked "Yea it's me Dash." Soarin answered "So I go out and fight can again?" Rainbow asked "I'm sorry Dash but your in no condition for that." Soarin answered "B-but I no want sit around nothing doing..." Rainbow protested "I'm sorry but..." Soarin got cut off "Idea. Me wait in back you go in, I spot bad guys that flank want, okay? Rainbow asked "If you feel up for it, I wouldn't mind, what about you doc?" Soarin replied "I'm not sure." The medic answered "Please I no want sit here alltime..." Rainbow said "I could look after her..." Soarin added "*Sigh* She has to let her get checked once a day." the medic answered "Well, okay I will come and get you tomorrow Dashie..." Soarin said "Kay." Rainbow replied Chapter 4Chapter 4 The next day The reinforcements came in early, Big Mac still had the commando until I felt better. Soarin camed over to get me. "Hey doc is she already awake?" Soarin asked "No she's not, and before you go to her I need to inform you about some stuff," The Medic answered "Like what?" Soarin asked "She might still have headaches, that's normal I got some painkillers for that here be sure she takes them everyday," The Medic replied "Will do, anything else?" Soarin answered "Yes, it's normal by a hit that hard she isn't able to walk good the next 2 or 3 days, after that everything should be normal, but if after those 3 dys you notice she has concentration difficulties, memory loss, more clumsiness than usual or balance problems, you should come see me" "Clumsiness... ehmm what came after?" Soarin asked as he stopped writing down "balance problems," The Medic answered "Right, So if I should notice one of these I will come to you" Soarin replied "Okay, now go and get her, we will move soon, Ohh and before I forget don't let her walk it could make it worse" the medic answered Soarin nodded back and made his way to Rainbow Dash "Hey Dashie you're ready?" Soarin asked "*Yawn* Huh, Wha?" Rainbow asked half asleep "*Chuckle* Are you ready?" Soarin asked again "I'm always ready, just let me..." Rainbow answered before trying to get out of bed "Dash the doc said walking isn't good for you yet," Soarin said "And how am I suppost to get out of here? You wanna carry me again or what?" Rainbow asked "Well duh," Soarin replied I climbed onto Soarin's back and hold my self has close as I could "Dash... can't... breath..." Soarin choked "oops, Sorry" Rainbow said a little embarssed "No problem," Soarin answered after clearing his throat He began to make his way to the tank, and got on top of it with me still holding onto him. "Yo, Gunner could you help me here please?" He asked "Yes Sir," The pony answered They got my into the tank so gently if not for the cold steel I wouldn't have noticed they tried to get me in "Thanks that you guys do this..." Rainbow said "What do you mean?" Soarin asked "Most ponies wouldn't care about things like this, they would just say get her back to Equestria or something like that," Rainbow answered "Ma'am we never leave comrades in needs" The Gunner replied "You don't hear that that often these days," Rainbow mumbled "What do you mean?" Soarin asked "Nothing, ohh and Soarin before I forget thanks for taking me under you're wing while I'm sick," Rainbow replied "No problemm" Soarin answered "Man, I really owe him something for this" Rainbow thought "Charlie are ready now? We are all waiting for you," Big Mac asked "Yes, we are sir, Soarin replied "Then let's move out everypony," Big Mac answered In the two days of travel I either had the worst headaches ever or just could concentrat myself on something, Well atleast there was no more vometing "Okay in this operation Twilight will lead Delta and attack from the west." Big Mac began "Yes Sir." Twilight replied "Fleetfoot will lead Charlie and goes west too, but your mission is to cut a small hole though the defence, and then attack them from behind." Big Mac continued "Roger That." Fleetfoot replied "Spitfire you lead Bravo and attack from the east." Big Mac said "Yes Sir." Spitfire answered "I take Alpha and will attack the centre." Big Mac finished "Ohh and Soarin, you and Dash will stay behind and spot for any approaching danger, you are Foxtrot." Big Mac added "Yes, Sir," Soarin replied "Affirmative," Rainbow answered "Okay Everypony let's go." Big Mac said In this battle pretty much everything went after plan. After pretty much a couple of minutes... "Big Mac we just cut though they're defence and now moving in from behind," Flettfor said "Affirmative, as soon you're done with the west side I want you guys to go and rush the center," Big Mac replied "Yes Sir," Fleetfoot replied sometimes the enemy received reinforcements but only small troops, although they had a pretty hard defence, but we got the town at dawn. "Spitfire I see a platoon of light tanks coming coming your way" Soarin warned "Okay thanks," Spitfire replied We later received intel that the Germans send troops out to stop a big force coming our way that could have been the cause why the russian have only gotten so little reinforcements anyway, they were successful and they even pushed them back, And currently holding their positions and waiting for us. We stayed at the town for the night The Next morning Today we had a quick commander briefing "Okay everypony, today we will move straight though the night, halfway to Kaligriff Some german companies are waiting, to support us on the attack." Big Mac said "So they recovered?" Rainbow asked "Indeed they did, and they are angry, and want revenge for the attack on their homeland." Big Mac replied "Okay, so what's the company lead?" Rainbow asked "Same as yesterday." Big Mac answered "Okay." Rainbow replied "Okay, now officially Operation: Shut Down has begun, any other questions?... none good, let's get moving." Big Mac said With that we began to move to Kaligriff 1 Hour Later "Damit..." Rainbow said "What?" Soarin asked "I forgot to let me get checked from the doc..." Rainbow replied "That ain't a big problem." Soarin replied "I know, but I have headaches." Rainbow complained "I got some pain killers here." Soarin answered "Can I have those?" Rainbow asked "If you couldn't them, I wouldn't have told you about them *Chuckle*" Soarin answered "*Chuckle* Makes sense." Rainbow replied "Here you go." Soarin said "Thanks." Rainbow replied "But please, leave some we don't..." Soarin began before cutting himself off But it was already too late, Rainbow already swallowed them. "Ehh... Sorry..." Rainbow said "*Sigh* no problem, we got one more pack in the bags on the turret." Soarin replied "I will get them..." Rainbow answered "No Dashie don't..." Soarin replied before soarin could finish his sentence Rainbow was already outside and getting the painkillers. "Dashie, come back in!" Soarin exclaimed "Jeez, just wait a second." Rainbow replied "Hmm, she can walk better again, at least something," Soarin thought The tank was probably driving 20 miles per hour and was rumbling pretty hard, Rainbow still didn't care, she went over to the equipment got the painkillers out and got back in. "There you go," Rainbow said "Thanks..." Soarin replied "No Problem... ugh... my head still kills me... I'm gonna go sleep, good night." Rainbow replied "Night." Soarin answered "A couple" of hours later "*Yawn*" (by Rainbow) "Good Morning." Soarin said "Morning?... and why are you driving?" Rainbow asked "You slept straight though the rest of the day and though the night." Soarin answered "I wha... What time is it?" Rainbow asked "Right after noon, we will get to the Germans in about 10 hours." Soarin replied "Soarin... you look tired, maybe I should drive." Rainbow Said "Nah I'm good." Soarin replied "You can barely keep your eyes open." Rainbow replied "Okay, you can drive, but how are we supposed to swap places?" Soarin asked "How did you change places with the other soldier?" Rainbow asked "Well the whole army had a fast stop for everypony to get new food and water, That's why we were able to swap places." Soarin answered "Hmmm. I got an idea." Rainbow replied "Dashie, what are you...?" Soarin begann only to get cut off "Changing position with you." Rainbow replied they went through several awkward positions, till finally it worked and Rainbow was driving. "Finally, Okay Night then." Soarin said "Goodnight." Rainbow replied The Next Day "*Yawn*" (by Soarin) "Ohh wow, thought you would never wake up *Chuckle*" Rainbow said "huh, What do you mean?" Soarin asked "We past the germans a couple of hours ago." Rainbow replied "What? that means it's..." Soarin got cut off "Heres Big Mac, the Plan goes followed." Big Mac begann "Fleetfoot, you go around left this time and fell into they're backs." He said "Yes, Sir." Fleetfoot replied "Twilight, takes west again." He continued "Affirmative." Twilight answered "Spitfire, you take east" Big Mac said "Yes Sir." Spitfire answered "But this time, Soarin and Dash, you got Charlie Company, And will attack the center with me," Big Mac said "Yes sir." Soarin replied "Affirmative." Rainbow answered "Sierra, you will watch for enemy reinforcements." Big Mac said "Yes, Sir." Sierra replied "Okay everypony, Charge." Big Mac ordered With those words the hardest fight in the war began or so we thought. The russian had build a defence that is almost unbreakable... we only had to break though a small part, and the defence would collapse. But even that seemed impossible, we already fought for hours and lost not a little number of soldiers. "Soarin I'm done with this, either we break though now or never." Rainbow stated "Yea I know but what are we supposed to do?" Soarin asked "As soon we do something the company will follow, so let's just charge in." Rainbow answered "Dash we can't... we will lose too many soldiers" Soarin replied "Soarin either way we will lose soldiers, we may even lose more if we fight like this." Rainbow replied "Yeah... Your right, okay let's just do it. Driver you heard her full speed!" Soarin answered "Yes Sir." The driver replied With that they charged in, the whole company followed in seconds "Soarin, what are you doing?" Big Mac asked "We are sitting ducks here, we need to break through!" Rainbow replied "You could have at least told us..." Big Mac a little annoyed annoyed "Told you Dashie." Soarin replied "Ugh, Shut up." Rainbow replied The russian didn't expect that, we overrun them in a couple of minutes, and were behind they're lines. "Soarin your company keeps going, try to reach the enemy's HQ and destroy it, that should break them." Big Mac said "Affirmative." Soarin replied We kept going, everything in our path didn't stand a chance, we arrived at the enemys HQ in less than a couple of minutes We then blew it up, but something completely different happend. The russians still fought like nothing happend, it's like... Meanwhile in Big Mac's tank "Sir sierra here, we just spotted a large number of enemy battalions" Sierra said "From were are they coming?" Big Mac asked "North-West sir." Sierra answered "How many?" Big Mac asked "About 4 till 6 regiments. I would say it's the main force" Sierra replied "Where are they heading?" Big Mac asked "Town center Sir." Sierra replied "Town center... that means..." Big mac cut himself off Back in Soarin and Dash's tank "Soarin here is Big Mac, The russian main force comes your way, dig in and hold them off, we will clean the rest of the defence, and then come to support you." Big Mac said "Affirmative, From were are they moving in and how big are they?" Soarin asked "North-West, And something around 4 till 6 regiments." Big Mac answered "What?! *Sigh*, Okay digging in now." Soarin answered the charlie company digged themselves in and waited for the attack. 20 Minutes later "There they are!" Rainbow exclaimed there was once perfect synced salvo (you could only hear 1 shot go off) and pretty much the first two battalion that moved in got decimated. "That's what I'm talking about!" Soarin shouted "Don't get carried away..." Rainbow replied calmly "Right..." Soarin replied and rolled his eyes "But it was awesome though *Chuckle*." Rainbow answered There were about 2 more salvos perfectly synced, but soon everything just shot random. "Big Mac here, we just cleaned up everything, coming in to support you now." Big Mac said "Hurry up, we can't hold on forever." Rainbow replied "Well be there in several minutes." Big Mac answered Neither shooting or the Explosions died down, there was always something. "Come on wen can't keep going like this," Rainbow exclaimed "We just have to hold it for a little bit," Soarin replied "Finally, there's Alpha." Rainbow said "where's Bravo and Foxtrot?" Soarin asked "I don't know... hey theres Big Mac tank. Hey Big Mac!" Rainbow shouted "Aghh, My head," Rainbow said while putting a hoof to her head "Yea?" Big Mac asked "where's the rest?" Soarin asked "They went around and will come from behind." Big Mac replied "Okay." Soarin replied With that Big Mac began to charge again "Dashie you got headaches again?" Soarin asked "Yea..." Rainbow replied "Come on got over here," Soarin replied It took us several minutes to take them out like this. Soon, everything went quiet... or so we thought. Later that day we received intel that the Chinese [Hippogriffs] joined an alliance with the russians. They only had a small land but many soldiers... enough to easily overrun us. Chapter 5Chapter 5 "Okay everypony we need to Split up, some companies will go North-East and attacks the last Russian Fort, and the rest will counter attack." Big Mac said "Who should go where?" Rainbow asked "Well, where do you think the companies should go?" Big Mac asked "Hmm... Okay let me think." Rainbow replied "Alpha has much armor, Bravo has more mobile infantry and only little armor, Charlie got both, Delta is the elite toop, Foxtrot got only mobile infantry, and Sierra pretty much only got light and fast things... so perfect to spot for Yankee-Five... Rainbow thought" She thought "hmm... I would say Alpha goes into counter attack with charlie, Delta, Foxtrot, Bravo, Sierra, and Yankee-Five go attack the last fort..." Rainbow said "Okay, and who leads which company?" Big Mac asked "Big Mac: alpha, Spitfire: Bravo, Soarin: Charlie, Twilight: Delta, Fleetfoot: Foxtrot, Lighting Dust: Sierra and Yankee-Five." Rainbow replied "And you?" Soarin asked "You really have to ask?" Rainbow replied "So you with me then?" Soarin answered "Yep." Rainbow replied "Okay." Soarin replied "Now everypony, Operation: Rolling Thunder, starts now." Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am." Replied everypony With that everypony gathered they're gear and moved out, except for Alpha and Charlie. Because they first needed to get some reinforcements. 5 Minutes later in soarin's tank. "Sir send everything you got in equestria, and send it to albay to attack the chinese ground, we will hold them of in the North-East, we will push them back and do a counter attack." Rainbow said "Affirmative." The General answered "And Sir if you got 1 or 2 ships battleships, I want you to send them to asgard." Rainbow added She changed to the German channel "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, a large Chinese force is on the way to Kaligriff, We need reinforcements if we want to stop them." Rainbow said "Affirmative Colonel, sending out some battalions, But it will take some days." The commander answered "Commander no disrespect but we will need them latest tomorrow." Rainbow replied "I will see what I can do, but it isn't much I'm afraid. We could fly the light stuff over they should be there at 0900, but the Heavy armor needs 3 days to get to you." The Commander replied "Let's hope we still stand then." Rainbow answered "Good luck Ma'am." The Commander replied Rainbow got out of the tank and went over to Soarin and Big Mac "Light reinforcements will come in tomorrow at 0900." Rainbow told them "And the Heavy stuff?" Soarin asked "3 Days..." Rainbow replied "3 Days that will be to late!" Big Mac said "No it won't, Because I ordered the general to use all the available units in equestria and attack china from the North-East, that should force the chinese to split they're forces, in the meanwhile we defend here until the reinforcements arrive." Rainbow answered "That should help." Soarin replied "As soon as the reinforcements arrive we will counter attack and throw them back." Rainbow added "That's a pretty good plan, I think your getting into it again." Soarin replied "Okay everypony enough talking, Let's get ready and dig in." Rainbow answered The infantry set up sandbags, Mines and found good anti-tank positions, while the tanks positioned themselves to cover the streets The next day "Dash, my scouts just spotted the Chinese force, they will be here in about half an hour." Big Mac said "Okay everypony get ready." Rainbow answered The chinese force advanced at full speed, But as soon they hit our defence they got stopped in a instant, That first wave was pretty much the hardest, we only lost a quiet a few Tanks and Soldiers. "Big Mac, I just got informed that a platoon of Self-propelled artillery is ready and is standing by to support us when needed, If you got units you can't handle tell me the position and what and what type of unit, and I radio it over, Rainbow said "Affirmative," Big Mac answered some minutes later "Dash I need support against Heavy Tanks on coordinates: D13 and D14 Big Mac ordered "Affirmative, Radioing it over now," Rainbow answered A couple of seconds later, A Heavy artillery barrage began to rain down onto them "Perfect artillery hit, keep those coordinates coming." A observer said "Got medium armor on coordinates: C16," Big Mac said "Okay. Rainbow replied But this time, some of the medium tanks moved, only about 2 or 3 kept standing there. "Only minimal damage, better coordinates please, The observer said we were still outnumbered 10:1, And still they didn't got through, already in the first wave we took out we took out several companies, And still they came at us with the same amount of strength. It felt like a never ending wave. "This isn't normal anymore! Big Mac exclaimed "I know, but we can't fallback, If we do whole Equestria will fall before we know it," Rainbow answered "I know..., but how are we supposed to hold off a force like that, for 2 whole days?" Big Mac asked "I don't know... but we have to," Rainbow answered "Ma'am, the chinese force is falling back! one of the soliders exclaimed Finally at the end of the day the chinese force stopped they're attack, and retreated. "Okay everypony, regroup and get defensive positions up again." Rainbow said We tried to get some defences up again, we were so close to get overrun. But we stood our ground and won... at least for today The Next Day We had sentries up all night to warn us against a suprise attack, but there were none. "hmm, That's strange, No attacks at night...," Rainbow thought out loud "Dash we have to get ready, I'm sure they will attack soon," Big Mac said "Right," Rainbow answered But as the day proceed, We pretty much the only thing saw were some scouts, only several small attacks occurred, but nothing serious. Till now "What is this, that ain't attacking," Big Mac exclaimed "Hmm, I would say they are just testing us...," Soarin answered "Maybe" Big Mac replied The end of the day was close "I would say they won't attack today," Big Mac figured "Well let's hope for that, We will set up some sentries tonight again..., Platoon one, you have the first watch," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative, Ma'am One of the soldiers replied The Next Day Soarin and I walked around, looking how our soldier were positioned. "What happend yesterday?" Soarin asked "Nothing happend, Soarin." Rainbow answered "Yea that's it, why didn't anything happen?" Soarin replied "I don't know, maybe they waited for an opportunity to suprise us, or they are waiting for reinforcements," Rainbow answered "Why would they need more reinforcements? They already outnumber us 10:1," Soarin replied "I don't know and I don't care, Because it's they're loss, Today our reinforcements will arrive, and then we..." Rainbow cut herself off "And we what?" Soarin asked "Soarin, get down," Rainbow said "What?" Soarin asked "DOWN!" Rainbow shouted Soarin didn't got it, until seconds later a shot exploded only 10 metres away from him "Holy Fuck!" He exclaimed The chinese launched one big assault trying to get us out of town. "Damit, suprise attack! Rainbow exclaimed "You there soldier! Radio Big Mac the chinese are attacking!" Soarin shouted "Yes Sir," The soldier shouted back We tried to get back to our tank. "Come on Soarin don't stop!" Rainbow exclaimed "I wouldn't even think about it," Soarin replied We finally made it, Big Mac was already there and fighting back. As soon as we were back in our tank... "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, we need Artillery support on coordinates: B3-5 and C6-7, C13-15 and B9-11, Radioed Rainbow to the Artillery platoon "Affirmative firing for effect," The Soldier replied The artillery came in a little bit to late, most of the Chinese force already made it into the town. And with that the hit wasn't as devastating as hoped, but it did some damage "Damit they are in the town, Come on everypony we have to fight back," Rainbow said "Here is Big Mac, we can't stand that much more!" Rainbow Mac exclaimed "Try to hold them off as long as you can," Rainbow answered For every tank, jeep or soldier that attacked we were pushed back another inch, Before we knew we were at the town center, surrounded. "Gunner, 10 o'clock!" Soarin shouted "Big Mac, you take the right side and my Company the left side!" Rainbow ordered "Affirmative," Big Mac answered We had the better positions, but they had the numbers, We fought for hours losing quiet a few soldiers, but they still didn't broke us. "Come on we, don't give up!" Rainbow shouted "Dash, we can't hold on much longer!" Big Mac exclaimed "Okay, we are going to stand in a circle, Infantry and Light armor inside and giving fire support, while the Tanks take the fire! Rainbow ordered "Affirmative," Big Mac answered Finally after a few hours of struggling to keep the town, the reinforcements arrived, And Big Mac was right, the Germans were pissed..., Before the Chinese force knew, they were outnumbered 3:1 "Here's Commander Easyglider I heard you need support?" The commander asked jokingly "Bless you for coming Commander, We are pinned in the Center and could use some help!" Rainbow answered "Affirmative moving in now, The commander replied The Germans rushed into the the town and soon everything that the Chinese force conquered in hours, we took back in a time of minutes. The Chinese force was forced to retreat. On their retreat they sometimes tried to build defences to slow us down... But we advanced faster than they retreated. "If this is going like this the war is won in no time." Rainbow said "Ma'am if we keep this up we will outrun our supply line." The Commander answered "Well let's try to push them back as far as we can" Rainbow replied "Affirmative." The Commander replied We just drove and drove, though their desperate defences and straight though the night. The Next Day "Ma'am we outrun our Supply line." The Commander said "Affirmative, set up some defences here, till they caught up with us." Rainbow replied It took us nearly 3 days to get a stable supply line, for 3 days the Chinese were able to fortify their position. As soon we get resupplied we were off again "Damit, 3 fucking days!" Rainbow exclaimed "What do you mean?" The commander asked "The Chinese force now had 3 days to set up and fortify their postions" Rainbow answered "That shouldn't be a problem though," The commander replied "I hope so..., Rainbow replied A couple of hours later "Hmm... They have fortified themselves pretty heavy." Rainbow said "They got some support too, we don't outnumber them that much anymore..." The Commander added "If I'm not wrong we still outnumber them 2:1." Big Mac figured "That should be enough to break though." Soarin said "We don't know if they have more troops in the woods waiting to ambush us." Rainbow replied "Well theres only 1 way to find out Colonel." The Commander answered "I know, I still got a bad feeling about this. Let me do something first, than we can go." Rainbow replied "That's the spirit." The Commander replied In Rainbow & Soarin's Tank "HQ here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, Send Hotel-Six-Niner with about 3 Platoons of heavy choppers to our position, and send some Napalm strikes onto coordinates: C2-3 till L2-3 and C16-17 till L16-17 and send some anti-tank strikes with a 15 or 20 second delay after them," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative, sending them out now. But it will take a few minutes," The soldier answered "Understood," Rainbow replied "What are you doing Dash?!" Soarin exclaimed "Trust me, I don't think we saw all of them till now." Rainbow answered "Hmm... Point" Soarin replied "Just like that?" Rainbow asked "What?" Soarin asked back "I would've... Nevermind, Now we can charge," Rainbow replied "Okay we're all set," Rainbow radioed to the commander "Okay then, let's go." The commander replied And so we began to move. We charged sometimes left or right 1 or 2 tanks or truck exploded, but we didn't slow down "Okay guys we nearly got them, but why aren't they falling back...," Rainbow asked "I don't know, maybe they want to die," The Commander suggested "Or maybe..." Rainbow got cut off The Napalm bomber arrived and dropped they're load, What came after, no one expected. "I... Knew it," Rainbow said The rest of the chinese force hid in the Forest, waiting to ambush us. "The force is bigger than I expected...," Rainbow said "Looks like now we are the ones who are outnumbered...," The Commander replied Chapter 6Chapter 6 We stood there looking like fools, we were outnumbered a little, We had about 3 companies less than them, it wasn't much, but still, That could be our doom. We only had a couple of seconds "What now Colonel?," asked the Commander a little nervous I was still stunned, I didn't thought the chinese would send that much support. As soon I got a hold of myself, I thought about a plan and then it made click in my head W-we are going to take defencive positions, and then... Before Rainbow could finish... The Chinese force began to charge, but before they could do anything, something that no one expected happend , Some of they're tanks just blew up, we didn't knew why until, the Anti-Tank jets flew over us, and right after them came Hotel-Six-Niner already continuing to shred apart they're tanks. Before we knew it, the chinese had 2 Battalions less. "I totally forgot them...," Rainbow said "Who?" the commander asked "Hotel-Six-Niner," Rainbow replied "Ma'am, no disrespect but could you move your flank?" Hotel-Six-Niner interrupted "Right. Okay everypony, CHARGE!" Rainbow replied The chinese force didn't slow down, they just continued to charge at us, but we did the same. The sounds of shoots traded and explosions never died down, but we did something the chinese didn't. "Here's Rainbow to all members of charlie company, we are going to defend the infantry," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Some soldiers replied Our company stood like a circle nearly in the middle of the battlefield, a couple of infantry companies now stood behind our tanks and stood on they're jeeps to shoot over our tanks sometimes with RPGs but most of the time with Javelins. "This is working better than expected" Rainbow thought "Rainbow to every light vehicle, you guys go and take out the chinese infantry," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative Ma'am," A soldier answered The battle raged on for nearly an hour the chinese tooked big loses but so did we... "There, they're running again!" The Commander exclaimed "Okay, Everypony knows what to do?... Good, then let's go." Rainbow replied Everypony began to charge after them, But this the the chinese didn't try to put up defences, they just keep retreating "Okay everypony, slow down we will camp here for the night," Rainbow said "We can't slow down, we have to keep moving," The Commander exclaimed "No disrespect sir, but do you really you want to charge the chinese with only a half awake army?" Soarin asked "Point." Replied the Commander Everypony camped were they stopped, We didn't had sentries up this night, because the Chinese were on retreat. A couple of hours later "Okay, is everypony ready?" The Commander asked "Yes, we are." Rainbow answered with a yawn "Okay then let's go," Replied the Commander We began to move again, The second group told us that they just captured the lst russian fort and now made they're way to us. We still had to drive about half of the day so not much happend. As we closed in on the chinese defence line we met Bravo, Echo, etc. We began to plan the attack. "Okay guys, We outnumber them 2 nearly 3:1 but that has to say nothing, So here's the plan: Commander and Twilight you attack from the left side, Big Mac and Spitfire and you take the center, Soarin you and me are going to take the right side, And Lighting Dust you take a small scout squad and spot for Yankee-Five your priority is to suppress the Chinese force," Rainbow ordered "Dash what is about the forest, maybe they have an ambush force in there again," Soarin figured "Nah, I think they learned from the last time they tried this and even when we got some extra companies standing by and Twilight will lead them, Now let's go!" Rainbow answered "Yes Ma'am, *salute*" everypony replied and then went off to take their positions A couple of minutes later "Is everypony ready?" Rainbow asked "Eeyup," Big Mac answered "Okay, Yankee-Five you know what to do," Rainbow replied "Yes Ma'am," A pony replied Everything was quiet for a couple of seconds... Until the barrage from Yankee-Five began to explode. It was a very heavy barrage and lastetd around 1 minute, as soon as it was over we began to charge, Some artillery shots came in but not from us. "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash we need carpet bombing onto the hills on coordinates: B-H 3,4 and 5," Rainbow radioed to the air force "Affirmative Ma'am, Eta: 10 Minutes," A pony replied "Okay Everypony, That artillery will continue to rain down onto us for about 10 minutes, but don't let that stop you," Rainbow informed We fought for about 10 till 20 minutes already, The Chinese artillery got destroyed ages ago, but the Chinese still had a pretty tough defence, but we pushed them back eventually, It was slow but it was better than nothing, We lost Soldiers in pretty high numbers, Then something happend we totally didn't planned for. "Dash something is coming in from the forest, I can see trees falling, Looks like they are coming in from behind you," Lightning Dust informed "Affirmative, Good Eye," Rainbow replied "Okay, everypony looks like the chinese have an ambush in the forest, My company will engage them, Big Mac you take... our..." Rainbow stopped talking "Uhmm? Dash?," Big Mac asked "That ain't Chinese tanks! Rainbow shouted "What are you talking about?" Big Mac asked confused "T-these are, Russians!" Rainbow exclaimed "What?! That's impossible, we...," Big Mac began before getting cut off "Twi, you attack the Russians from the right, Big Mac you get your fank over here and support us too. Spitfire, Commander, Fleetfoot you have to attack alone," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am" Everypony replied Twilight moved in with about 2 armored battalions and a platoon of Heavy attack choppers and Big Mac with nearly a whole regiment. And we still weren't able to stand or ground. The fight lasted about 5 or 10 minutes and we already lost nearly 3 battalions. "Okay guys, this is pointless, We will fallback, Commander, Spitfire, Fleetfoot you first and try to get up some defences about 1 or 2 miles from here and try to get some reinforcements in!" Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," They answered I gave them about 5 minutes, Then I sended back Big Mac and last was Twilight. Now it was only my company. Meanwhile "Sir minimal defences are up," A pony said "Okay, Everypony get into position!" The Commander exclaimed A couple of minutes later "There something is coming!" A pony exclaimed "Don't shot that's our guys," The commander replied Big Mac came in a minute later Twilight and then... nothing. "Hey where's Dash?" Spitfire asked "We don't know she told us to retreat but...," Twilight began before getting cut off "Something is incoming!" The pony exclaimed again "Yes we all see that private," Big Mac answered A company closed in onto them. "That's Dash's Company!" Twilight exclaimed "Eeyup," Big Mac replied But instead of the big battalion that they saw earlier only a couple of platoons returned. And no sight of Dash or Soarin. "Hey you there!" Twilight shouted "Yes, Ma'am?" The pony asked "Where's Rainbow Dash and Soarin?" Twilight asked "She told us to retreat and the last thing I saw was, that her tank got tracked and they stucked there, But although she told us to keep going," The Pony replied "So you're telling me she's...," Twilight stopped "Ma'am before I forget she told me something: Gray Ghost. She said you know what it means," The Pony added "You there I need a Radio, NOW!" Big Mac shouted "Yes, Sir," The pony answered After a couple of seconds he returned with a ham radio "Here is Captain Big Macintosh, Operation: Gray Ghost has started, We need reinforcements right now!" Big Mac said "That is a high Operation I need the passwort to be sure it's from high rank," A pony answered "Ohh Ma'am, she also told me something like Redemption or so, She also told me it has several meanings" The Pony from before shouted "Who is she?" The Pony from the HQ asked over the Ham Radio "Colonel Rainbow Dash, Sir," The Pony answered "Affirmative, That's correct, So now what do you need?" The Pony asked "We could need some reinforcements," Big Mac said "No Shit, you said that earlier, but what kind of reinforcements?" The Pony replied "A couple of Heavy armor battalions, some Medium and Light armor and some artillery," Big Mac replied "Affirmative, What's ypur position?" The Pony asked "We were on the assault on china from the North-East but retreated 1,5 Miles to the South-East," Big Mac replied "Affirmative, Reinforcements will be by you tomorrow evening," The Pony replied "Roger and Out," Big Mac replied, "Okay, everypony let's get up some more defences so the Russians don't suprise us," Big Mac ordered, "Yes, Sir," Everypony replied They set up Sandbags and some mines, The tanks where the Wall. But they didn't stay up all night, They had some sentries up to warn them. The Next day, In the evening "There the reinforcements are coming in!" Big Mac shouted A Wing (Air division, Group however you wanna call them) of Transport carriers defended by some Jets, dropped of about 200 till 300 hundred Soldiers, nearly 4 Heavy tank battalions, 3 Medium tank battalions, and 1 Light vehicle battalion, and an Heavy Artillery platoon. The reinforcements landed on the ground and a couple of Minutes later about 2 till 3 Heavy attack chopper platoons flew in too. "What a sight...," Twilight said astonished "Okay Everypony, We will move out in a couple of hours, so get some sleep or something till then," Big Mac shouted While most ponies went to sleep the new arrived reinforcements didn't, And held the first watch. "Ah can't believe it," Applejack mumbled "What do you mean?" Twilight asked "Rainbow," Applejack answered "Hey, do you remember what that Soldier said? With that Passwort I mean," Twilight asked "Yea he said somethin' like: She told me Redemption, but it has several... meanings..."Applejack stopped for a moment and thought "Ya mean?" Applejack asked "Yep, exactly," Twilight answered Chapter 6.5 [Meanwhile by Soarin and Rainbow Dash]Chapter 6.5 Time: The retreat from the attack. "Okay Commander, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, you fallback first," Rainbow ordered, I gave them 5 minutes until I sended Big Mac and 2 minutes after him Twilight. I already lost several platoons and finally gave order to retreat. "Okay, Everypony we are falling back now," Rainbow ordered We tried to fallback as fast as we could, but I knew the russians would follow us. "Driver, we have make it look like we got tracked, and as soon as the rest of the platoon are out of sight, we are going to distract the russians," Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am," The Driver replied The driver was very good it looked perfect... and even felt perfect. "Attention, Commander tank tracked!" A Pony exclaimed "You guys keep going, But I want you to tell Big Mac 2 things, First: Gray Ghost and Second: Redemption, but it has several meaning," Rainbow said "Yes. Ma'am," A Pony answered The platoons began to drive again, and as soon as they where out of sight. "Okay, they are out now, Let's go!" Rainbow exclaimed We tried to distract them and it worked for a couple of minutes, The Driver learned much, He Dodged the tank shells even with style, The Gunner hitted nearly every shot, Soarin gave perfect commander order, And I gave very good artillery coordinates. But even the best tank team ever can't hold this up forever, For 1 second no attention was given and and Bam! Engine knocked out, We got out of the tank, But the russians already had us surrounded. And we surrendered, The russians brought us to a small prison camp, in a small village 7 or 8 miles away fom here. As we arrived there they threw us into a cell. "And now?" Soarin asked "Now?, We are going to wait it's only a question of time, Until Big Mac gets it," Rainbow answered "Hmm, well your right," Soarin replied We waited there doing nothing. The Next day It was something arround noon. Soarin and I woke up to a cell door opening, A Griffin signed Soarin to come with them, Soarin stood up and began to walk to them, I walked infront of him. "Either me or none of us," Rainbow said "Dash, it's okay just," Before Soarin could finish Rainbow shot him a glare, "If you insist," One of the Griffins said I walked over to them, and they closed the cell door, and began to make their way. We arrived in a small room and they handcuffed me to a chair. Another griffin walked in. He looked at me and began to ask questions. "What are you plans?" The Griffin asked "...," No reply "I ask again, What are your plans?" The Griffin asked again "...," Still no reply "Okay, that's it," The Griffin said Before I knew it a pretty nasty punshed hit me against the snout. My snout began to bleed and I tasted blood in my mouth too. "Now tell me!" The griffin demanded Rainbows reaction: She spitted blood on the ground and nothing more, "Ohh, So you are a hard one, eh?" The griffin asked "...," No reply "Well if it's like this," The griffin said For every question he asked for every no reply I gave I got 3 punches. This lastet for about 10 till 20 minutes I had a black eye, bruises everywhere and I think at the end there I heared some ribs cracking, and I guarantee I got a concussion...again. But finally. "Okay, That's enough bring her back into the cell! And get that other pony in here!" The Griffin ordered "Dare to touch him, and I kill you," Was my first reply to him till now "Ohh, so you do can speak," The griffin replied "Yea, and I say again touch him and your dead," I answered "Well, you ell me about your plans and I won't touch him," The griffin replied "*Sigh*, Okay, This operation i have is called: Rolling Thunder. We are supposed to attack the chinese force push them back and claim china to end this damn war," I answered "was that so hard?" The griffin asked "Get her back into the cell!" The griffin demanded They carried me back to the cell, and threw me in again. "Dash!" Soarin exclaimed "Dad?" I asked "What? No, it's me Soarin!" He replied worried "i knew that *Chuckle*," I replied before I blacked out. Time: Future I woke up to explosion and Shooting, The next thing I know is that a Squad off very familiar Ponies open the cell door and carried me out. Chapter 7Chapter 7 Time: A several hours before the rescue of Dash and Soarin "Big Mac!" Twilight shouted "Eeyup?" Big Mac asked "Dash ain't dead," Applejack said "What?" Big Mac asked confused "You remeber, that pony said Redemption with several meanings," Twilight answered "Ya mean?" Big Mac asked "Yes, Dash and Soarin are still alive, probably captured but alive," Twilight answered "If your right, then we need to find them," Big Mac answered "Didn't I just say that?" Twilight asked "You there! Get a platoon of choppers ready and scout everything around 15 miles from here!" Big Mac ordered "Yes Sire, but that will take some time," The Pony replied "I know, now go!" Big Mac answered They waited for a report from the scout team. Arround 2 till 3 hours later "Sir, we found a Russian prison camp in a small village in the North-East it's about 8 miles away from the last attack," A Scout informed "Affirmative, Comeback and get your guns back on the choppers," Big Mac replied "Yes Sir," The pony replied They waited till the choppers got back, They remounted the weapons and The whole army began to move to that small prison camp, it took them several hours because they had to go all around the chinese defence, it took them 2 till 3 hours until they arrived there "Okay everypony, The russians have about 4 battalions down there, we outnumber them something around 10:1, so let's just charge in" Big Mac said "Affirmative," The Commander answered Before the russians knew what hit them half of the camp was already overrolled, Still they were able to send out a help message. "Come on everypony, we have to sweep those houses and get away here, The russian force is guaranteed already on it's way," Big Mac ordered They went through several houses, but nothing, they walked into the last house. "Squad one you go right, My squad goes left," Big Mac said "Yes Sir," A pony replied "Guys we are here!" A voice shouted They ran after the voice and... "Holy...," Big Mac exclaimed, Several gasps right after. I was pretty much covered in blood everywhere, I was barely conscious "Is she ok?!" Twilight asked "Mom?" Rainbow asked "Ehmm...," Twilight didn't know how to respond "Yea my reaction exactly as she ask me if I was her Dad," Soarin replied "No wait... Twi? Did they got you too?" Rainbow asked "No time to explain, we need to get moving," Big Mac interfered "We have to get her out of here and some medical care," Soarin shouted "Right," Everypony agreed Soarin sat me onto his back while the other made sure I don't fall down, They carried me to a troop transporter, they sat me down and everypony except of Soarin got back to their tanks. Okay everypony, we got her let's get out of here!" Big Mac shouted We began to make our way back. "Dash how do you feel?" Soarin asked "Well, I feel great you know" Rainbow answered sarcastic "No, really Dash, how do you feel?" Soarin asked serious "Well, not so bad as I thought I would," Rainbow answered "...," No answer "Soarin I'm getting tired goodnight" Rainbow said "Night," Soarin answered I went to sleep again, but before I was gone I felt Soarin giving me a kiss on the cheek, just before I blacked out A Couple of hours later. "How is she doc?" Soarin asked "She lost much blood, got 3 broken ribs and a severe concussion, But she is stable," The medic answered "Do you have any idea when she wakes up?" Soarin asked "It's different, Sometimes they wake up the next day and sometimes they wake up after days" The medic answered "Okay, If she wakes up please tell me doc," Soarin replied "Okay," The medic answered Soarin walked out of the tent, and walked over to a group of ponies in a cricle talking with each other, as one of them saw Soarin walking to them , they stopped talking and turned to him. "And how is she?" Big Mac asked "She is stable," Soarin answered "Thanks Celestia," Most of them replied, the other just had a sigh of relief "Guys I'm gonna go sleep was a hard day for me," Soarin said "Okay, goodnight," They replied 2 Days later Soarin was now everyday by Rainbows side "ughh" Rainbow groaned "Dash?" Soarin asked "Huh? Wha?" Rainbow asked sore "Finally your awake," Soarin said "What do you mean? how long was I out?" Rainbow asked "About 2 till 3 days," Soarin answered "What?" Rainbow asked as she shot up from the bed "Yea, you were out nearly 3 days, We didn't attack since our rescue, But we are going to have a Commander meeting tomorrow evening," Soarin answered "Rainbow, I'm sorry but I need to get going," Soarin added "Okay," Rainbow answered The Next day. It was near evening once again, and the Commanders began to meet around a map, It took several minutes for everypony to meet there "Okay, now that everypony is here we can begin to plan," Big Mac said "So, We are going to attack directly like last time, But this time we are..." Big Mac began "Sorry everypony, What did I miss," A familiar voice asked "Dash?!" Soarin exclaimed "Yea? Why are you surprised to see me?" Rainbow asked "You shouldn't stand up... nor walk around," Soarin answered "You think a concussion is going to hinder me?" Rainbow asked "Well actually," Soarin began "Nevermind, Fill me in, Rainbow cut off "Okay, now from the beginning," Big Mac answered "We are going to attack directly like last time, But this time Charlie Alpha and Echo are going right, Foxtrot left and Delta center," Big Mac said "Sounds good but, what is if the Russians got a ambush in the forest?" Rainbow asked "For that we got 3 Battalions down there this time," Big Mac explained "Hmm, could I try once?" Rainbow asked "Sure go ahead" Big Mac asked "Okay, let's see," Rainbow began "Well, first of all what did we got?" Rainbow asked "Right, We got 2 regiments of armored units, a Company artillery with MLRS and Self-Propelled-artillery, a battalion light vehicles and 2 battalions mobile infantry, and 3 companies Heavy-Attack choppers, and Air force support," Big Mac answered "Okay...," Rainbow said and began to think "Okay I got an idea," Rainbow said "First thing is a Napalm attack on the forest, then Heavy armor and Infantry direct attack, Medium and Light armor though the forest and surprise attack from right, the Choppers fly up the Mountains and attack from the Left side, The MLRS are going to destroy the buildings and then we push them back," Rainbow suggested Everypony was stunned, and no pony replied until Soarin finally broke the silence "That's a very good plan Dash," Soarin answered "Thanks," Rainbow replied happily "Well, who leads what...?" Big Mac began "Same as always, With one exeption: I take Yankee-Five," Rainbow cut off "Okay and what company has what?" Big Mac asked "Right...," Rainbow replied and began to think again "Ehmm... Alpha and Charlie: take half and half of the Heavy and infantry, Delta: Medium armor, Echo: Light armor, Echo: Attack choppers, And Yankee-Five: MLRS and Self-Propelled-artillery," Rainbow answered "Okay, Understood," Big Mac answered "Rainbow I need word with you under for eyes," Soarin said "So, What is it?" Rainbow asked "Dashie, I told the doc that I would look after you," Soarin answered "Okay, that changes the plan...," Rainbow replied "Okay guys, Plan change: The Commander takes Charlie and Soarin takes Sierra with a couple of Medium tanks," Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am, *Salute*," Everypony replied "See, Done," Rainbow said to Soarin "I'm impressed," Soarin replied "What do you mean?" Rainbow asked "Having a Severe concussion and putting up a plan like this," Soarin answered "It's nothing, Oh and Soarin I need to give you something back," Rainbow replied "Yea and wha?" Soarin got cut of as Rainbow kissed him on the cheek "What was that for?" Soarin asked but didn't move an inch "Think I don't know you kissed me, Right before I blacked out?" Rainbow answered "Right...," Soarin replied getting a little bit red "Anyway, I need to get back," Rainbow said "Okay...," Soarin relied half dreaming Chapter 8Chapter 8 As soon as we had the plan ready everypony prepared to move out, But we didn't move today. The Next Morning "Is everypony ready to move out?" Big Mac asked "Yea pretty much," Soarin answered "What does pretty much mean?" Big Mac asked "Rainbow ain't awake, but since we will stay back here... just tell me when your 10 minutes away," Soarin answered "Affirmative, Okay then everypony let's move out!" Big Mac said "Sir, I hope you know she shouldn't be doing this, She needs to rest," A medic said "I know but she's stubborn if she wants something truly she ain't going back," Soarin answered "I understand, But please try to give her as much rest as possible" The medic replied "Will do," Soarin answered A couple of hours later. "Here is Big Mac we are closing in, Get ready Soarin," Big Mac said "Affirmative," Soarin replied He went over into the tent where Rainbow slept. "Hey Dashie, Wake up," He said quiet as he shok her gently "uhh, 5 more minutes," Rainbow mumbled "Dashie either you wake up now or no more kisses," Soarin replied "Agh, I'm awake" Rainbow shouted "*Chuckle* Now get your flank out of the bed," Soarin replied "And my kiss?" Rainbow asked "After you got yourself into your clothes and stay outside by the MLRS," Soarin replied as he walked out of the tent "Ohh, Alright," Rainbow answered 2 Minutes Later "I'm here," Rainbow said "AGH! t-that was fast," Soarin replied "I know," Rainbow answered with a chuckle "Well like I promised," Soarin said and gave Rainbow a kiss on the cheek "Okay let's get to work," Rainbow said while she blushed "Okay we are ready," Soarin said "Affirmative, Standby to barrage them. And Dash call in that Napalm strike now" Big Mac answered "Affirmative," Rainbow replied She switched to the air force channel "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, We need a napalm strike onto coordinates: A-F13-18," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative Ma'am eta: 15 Minutes She switched back to the attack channel "Strike is incoming eta: 15 Minutes," Rainbow told the, "affirmative, as soon as we hear the napalm go off we will attack," Big Mac answered 15 Minutes later "Okay everypony charge! Big Mac shouted 40 seconds later "Okay, Dash MLRS strike onto coordinates: F11," Big Mac ordered "Affirmative," Rainbow replied She began to aim onto the coordinates and began shooting. a couple of seconds later "That one was off target Dash, Reload and again, they got heavy anti-tank positions up there," Big Mac replied "Dash normally never misses," Soarin thought 40 seconds later "Incoming," Rainbow warned Seconds later "What the hay Dash, that one was off target again," Big Mac now shouted "I-I'm sorry, I'm trying my best here, I'm gonna try one last time," Rainbow answered again 40 seconds later and... "Dash, what the heck is going on?" Big Mac shouted I-I don't know, does it miss to the left or to the right?" Rainbow asked "Left," Big Mac answered "Okay, that next one should hit," Rainbow replied 40 seconds later "That one was close, Big Mac replied "again left, when yes next one will definitely hit," Rainbow replied "Dash just stop, We will charge them," Big Mac answered "Okay...," Rainbow replied and let her ears fall back "Dash everything okay?" Soarin asked "Yea *sniff* yea I-I don't know what's wrong, It's perfectly positioned on the coordinates," Rainbow answered "Dash, it's half half," Soarin replied "What?" Rainbow asked confused "It's set between F10-11," Soarin answered "No it's definitely set on F11 is see it right here," Rainbow replied "No Dashie it isn't," Soarin answered "Hmm looks like with blurry vision you can't hit shit," She thought out loud "Soarin need a heavy artillery barrage on square: C8," Big Mac ordered "Affirmative," Soarin answered couple of seconds later "Good hit," Big Mac said The next 5 or 8 orders where all for Soarin and only heavy barrages "Big Mac, give Rainbow a try again," Soarin said "She miss shot 3 times Soarin," Big Mac answered "Trust me this time she will hit," Soarin reassured "If you say so, but only 1 try," Big Mac answered nearly a minute later. "Dash need a barrage on square: B8," Soarin ordered "Affirmative," Rainbow answered happily "Okay think if the aim from your sight is perfect it's only half on" Rainbow thought Instead of moving it on B8 she moved it between B8 and 9 and... "That was a perfect hit Dash, Good job" Big Mac said "Yes!" Rainbow shouted happily "Good job," Soarin said while smiling "Thanks!" Rainbow answered, she jumped at Soarin, Soarin got knocked of his hoofs by the force and she sat on top of him and cuddled with him Several seconds later. "Ma'am no disrespect but the Captain need another MLRS barrage," A soldier interrupted "Uhm, Yea hehe," Rainbow said as they blushed, She got of from Soarin and got back to the MLRS "Okay, I'm back, sorry," Rainbow apologised "Finally, what did you do, that you went away so quickly? Big Mac asked curious "I uhm... Cuddled with Soarin Rainbow replied "Uhm, Okayy... Anyway, we need a barrage on Square: B11," Big Mac answered "Affirmative," Rainbow answered Couple of seconds later. "Good hit, Okay everypony that's it we got the village, and the Chinese and the Russians are falling back Big Mac informed "And Soarin, I want that you and Dash take the rest of armored units you have and come here," Big Mac ordered "Big Mac no disrespect, But the doc said she should rest and do as less as she can," Soarin answered "Soarin you really think Dash is gonna sit around doing nothing?" Big Mac replied "Good point... Okay well be by you in a couple of minutes," Soarin answered "Dash we have to go to Big Mac," Soarin shouted "Yes! More action," Rainbow answered, Soarin just chuckled A couple of minutes later "Big Mac we are here," Soarin informed "Affirmative, Commander briefing in 5 minutes by me," Big Mac answered 5 Minutes Later by Big Mac's tank "Okay everypony, The Chinese and Russians got a second defence 4 clicks from here, The Chinese got triple A batteries against our choppers and there's only 1 attack route," Big Mac informed "Wrong," Rainbow interrupted "What?" Big Mac asked "The MLRS takes out that triple A and the choppers go over the right mountain and attack from there, Heavy armor forms the first main attack, 5 Minutes after the attack the rest of the army will come in and support them, And I'm sure the Russians will plan a "Surprise" Counter-Attack like always so be ready for that," Rainbow answered "Affirmative, Is the company lead same as before?" Big Mac asked "Nope, It's the old one again, So Soarin is in charge of charlie again," Rainbow replied "Affirmative, Now then you heard her, get ready!" Big Mac ordered With that we moved again, We didn't had a break or time to resupply, We needed to hit the Russian/Chinese defence while they setted up. It didn't even took 10 minutes to get there "Okay we are nearly there I'm gonna send the order," Rainbow informed Change to artillery platoon channel "Okay we need a MLRS barrage onto coordinates: B5," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative," A pony answered couple of seconds later "Perfect MLRS hit, Keep those coordinates coming," The observer said "Okay then, Charge!" Big Mac ordered We charged in and before the Russians/Chinese realised anything, they where surrounded. "Okay we got then, But don't let your guard down," Big Mac said "No counter-attack till now, that's odd," Rainbow answered "Maybe they ain't going to counter attack," Big Mac suggested "Maybe...," Rainbow figured It still took us over an hour to get them running, We went after them. We got intel that our friends in the South-West are nearly broken though. But we also received that the chinese are planning to send nukes against America and Germany. We began to push with all our force we where behind enemy lines cut off from heavy reinforcements all at ourselves again. We had a very quick commander briefing. Chapter 9Chapter 9 "Okay Everypony, You all know the chinese want to launch nukes and we need to stop them," Rainbow said "Yes but what are we gonna do?" Big Mac asked "We are going to push with everything we got, We need to destroy that nuclear silo," Rainbow answered "Okay what's the situation?" Soarin asked "The silo is surrounded by mountains and they are fortified with triple A not even carpet bombing will do anything, They got a big ass wall covering the only entrance, It has 2 gates, our MLRS are to weak to destroy the wall, all in all they got a fortress that in nearly invulnerable," Rainbow answered "That doesn't sound so good," Soarin replied "I will order laser guided ballistic missiles against the wall, That should destroy it after that we will go in and..., yea and that's pretty much as far as I am," Rainbow figured "Before we attack what is with the defence?" Soarin asked "Oh yea, They got around 5 armored battalions, 4 infantry battalions and even a company attack choppers," Rainbow answered "Okay, now what's the attack plan for the units?" Soarin asked "I uh I...," Rainbow answered "You got none did you?" Soarin asked "...," No answer, Rainbow just looked away. "How about we just take the army and rush in?" Soarin suggested "Ya serious? That would kill tons of ponies, how about we split the forces?" Big Mac suggested "No we need a full scale attack, but the choppers will stay in support," Spitfire suggested "What do you mean Rainbow?" all 3 ponies asked at ones "*wince* I uhh...," Rainbow began, "Ya know the split up would be best," Big Mac cut off "You serious? you want to split our force so they have the number advantage?" Spitfire asked This went on for a couple of minutes. by now Rainbow was on the ground hooves on her ears to block their talking and had her eyes closed so she didn't needed to see them fighting. But she still heard everything. "SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!" Soarin shouted "What is your problem now?" both Big Mac and Spitfire asked "Just shut up and look at Rainbow she's done thanks to you," Soarin answered "*Sniff*" In reply from Rainbow "Hey Dashie get up," Soarin said "Eh, Sorry Dash," Spitfire and Big Mac said at the same time "No no, it's okay, but I think I got a plan," Rainbow answered "Really? tell us!" all three off them answered "*Wince* O-okay, T-the armored battalions w-will go per right gate, the choppers per left and the artillery is on standby," Rainbow answered "Dash, I'll be honest that plan sucks," Soarin replied "Oh... Okay," Rainbow answered and let's her ears fall back and thinks again, the other 2 are fighting again "I-I got another plan" Rainbow said quietly "Shut up! Dash tell us!" Soarin said sharply "*Flinch* O-okay, T-the heavy armor will move per the right gate, the medium and light armor will go left with the infantry, The choppers will defend the artillery and the artillery will be ready to support fire, I-I'm sure the air force will standby too" Rainbow suggested a bit unsure "That," Big Mac began "Plan," Spitfire continued "Is awesome," Soarin finished "Then why are you still standing here? Move out!" Rainbow answered "Yes Ma'am," all three replied "Okay everypony, You all know the plan?" Rainbow asked "Yes Ma'am but what company has what?" Big Mac asked "Damn didn't thought about that... ehm, let me think real quick," Rainbow answered "Okay, I-I think I got it," Rainbow said "Alpha and Charlie will take the heavy armor, Bravo Medium armor, Echo Light armor, Foxtrot infantry, Delta the choppers, and Yankee-Five artillery as always," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Everypony answered We began to march, Five minutes before we where there I ordered the missile strikes "Okay the entrances are free, Let's go!" Rainbow ordered "Yankee-Five, I need a MLRS barrage onto square: J14," Rainbow requested "Affirmative Ma'am, Firing for effect," The gunner answered a couple of seconds later "Perfect artillery hit, Keep those coordinates coming," The observer said "Damit, Enemy choppers incoming!" Big Mac informed "Air Force, we need an anti-aircraft strike onto square: H16-17," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative Ma'am, ETA: 15 seconds," A pony answered "Direct hit, Good job," Rainbow said "Okay, let's advance," Rainbow ordered "Dash, we got problems here, We could use support," Spitfire requested "*Sigh* Okay I send Big Mac over," Rainbow answered "Thanks," Spitfire replied "Dash are you sure? I mean we could get overrun here," Soarin figured "No were not, we will advance on this side because, most of their force will be on the left side now to interfere there ," Rainbow answered "Makes sense," Soarin replied "Then shut up and get this company moving" Rainbow replied "There it works! They are following Big Mac!" Soarin exclaimed "Told you, now go!" Rainbow replied "How long till launch?" Soarin asked "around 15 Minutes," Rainbow answered "Then we need to move faster," Soarin figured "Didn't I just said that a couple of seconds ago?" Rainbow asked "Maybe...," Soarin replied "Let's just move," Rainbow answered We began to move as fast as we could, by half of the way. "Is that an earthquake?" Rainbow asked "Holy...," Soarin replied "Did they?" Rainbow asked "Yep, They launched the rocket," Soarin answered "Here's HQ, We are trying to find the abort codes," A pony said "Affirmative, We are keep moving," Rainbow answered We cutted though their defence like butter, We had around 40 minutes till the rocket would hit, But we still moved as fast as we could, We didn't wanted to risk anything. "HQ did you got the abort codes yet?" Rainbow asked "Yes ma'am "Okay we will get moving then," Rainbow answered "How are we supposed to get in the bunker?" Soarin asked "We are gonna knock and if no one opens, We are gonna bust through their doors," Rainbow answered "Sounds good," Soarin replied "Then let's do it," Rainbow answered We used our tanks against their "Bomb proof" gates and they were gone. "Squad 1 you go left, We will go right," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Big Mac replied We began to make our way to the control room. We passed several halls took out many soldiers. "Okay to the end of this hall then right down that hall and then left and we should be there," Rainbow informed "Don't let your guard down," Soarin added "Yea but we need to move fas...," Rainbow got cut off as a grenade rolled around the corner "Oh fuck!" Rainbow exclaimed Soarin grabbed Rainbow and pulled her away and laid on top of her all in a split second and the grenade exploded, "Agh!" Soarin exclaimed "Looks like I owe you one," Rainbow replied "Maybe," Soarin answered a little pained A Hippogriff jumped around the corner and Rainbow instantly planted a shot into his face "And there goes that" Rainbow said with a giggle "Yea," Soarin answered and rolled his eyes They just looked into each others eyes for a couple more seconds "Sir we need to keep going," A pony said "Oops yea sorry," Soarin replied with a blush He got up from Rainbow and helped her up "Soarin you feel okay?" Rainbow asked "Yea, Why?" Soarin asked back "Just because of the shrapnel's in your back," Rainbow answered "Looks worse than it is," Soarin replied "Then let's keep going," Rainbow replied As we continued I saw that Soarin limped and Winced every time his right back hoof hitted the ground. "You sure you are okay?" Rainbow asked worried "Yea I am," Soarin replied with an wince "Soarin I'm serious if you...," Rainbow got cut off as she jumped in front of him The next thing I know is, That I jumped in front of Soarin but I didn't saw that I would show me around the corner by that and 2 bullet ripped through my right back hoof and 1 got stuck in my right flank. "Agh!" Rainbow exclaimed and jumped forward and knocked over Soarin In a matter of seconds I was on my back and a medic was bandaging my back hoof all the way up to my flank, As soon as they where done. "We won't be able to get through that, But I already got an idea," Rainbow said "And what?" Soarin asked "You Soarin throw a grenade around the corner and leave the rest to me," Rainbow answered "Okay... 3...2...1... Go!," Soarin exclaimed Soarin threw a grenade around the corner as soon as it exploded I rushed to the other side of the hallway and carried on, I went into the room behind the MG through a second door, It wasn't so heavily guarded but still, There where around 6 hippogriffs Rainbow threw her last grenade a flashbang, all 6 hippogriffs got blinded. Before they knew anything 4 of them were dead, She ran to one of the dead bodies tooked a grenade and threw it behind the MG gunner, And he was gone, But the 2 Hippogriffs who weren't blinded anymore jumped on top of her pinning her, They both nodded at each other they made themselves ready to beat her, but before they could something Soarin rushed around the corner and shot them down from Rainbow. "Thanks," Rainbow said as she stood up "No problem," Soarin replied as they began to walk again They walked out of the room and through the last hallway "Okay we are nearly there it should be around this corner," Rainbow said and peeked around the corner "Strange no one in here," Rainbow figured as she walked into the room "Let's just hope it keeps like that," Soarin answered They began to make their way further into the room and moved to a computer "Okay uploading the abort codes now," Rainbow informed "Launch aborted," Did a computer voice say, "Okay now let's get out of here," Rainbow said "Good idea," Soarin replied We fought our way back out and got back into our tanks and began to move against the Chinese main city. Chapter 10 [Final Chapter]Chapter 10 We began to move to the Chinese main city and got informed that the attack from the north-east final pushed through and are on their way too. "Yes sir we will be there in around an hour," Rainbow said "Okay you will attack with everything you got it will take us something around 2 till 3 hours to get there," The General informed "Affirmative, Over and Out," Rainbow replied So this is the final attack?" Soarin asked "Yep today is the day that we finally end this war," Rainbow answered "Then let's do this!" Soarin replied 1 Hour later "Okay, Big Mac and spitfire left side, Commander and Fleetfoot right side, Twilight you command the artillery platoon, rest through middle, Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Everypony answered "Okay Twilight send everything you got onto sqaure: G1-18 Rainbow ordered "That will take very long Dash," Twilight answered "Just make small barrages to startle them," Rainbow replied "Okay," Twilight replied We watched as seconds later the whole defence line got bombarded with artillery grenades and MLRS rockets, the bombarded lastet for 30 seconds and then we charged. "Gunner, 10 o'clock and half a click enemy tank," Soarin ordered "Twilight barrage on square: G7," Rainbow ordered "Incoming," Twilight answered After around 50 minutes with no advance and very big loses while the Chinese rather minor loses, but the russian have got very heavy loses they where nearly at the breaking point. "Dash we are getting attacked from and it's no few soldiers it's a whole force!" Big Mac informed "Okay try to..." She began "Ma'am we are getting attacked pretty heavy too," The Commander cutted off "Darn it, *Sigh* okay fallback to my position and we have a full force counter attack," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Both ponies answered as they began made their way to her "How many are coming?" Rainbow asked "4 Companies from the left and 4 from the right," Big Mac and the Commander answered "So nearly a regiment, Well we just have to survive till the General get's here, then we will push them back," Rainbow figured "How long till?" Big Mac asked "If my calculations are correct around 10 minutes," Rainbow answered "Shouldn't be a problem," Big Mac answered "Then let's do this, Big Mac you take the middle of our back, Spitfire right and Commander left, Fleetfoot you will support my force," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Everypony answered We held our positions and threw wave after wave of the attack back, We had minor loses. "Colonel Dash, We are around 1 minute from the battlefield any orders for help on specify positions?" The General asked "Yes Sir, We are surrounded and pinned down on square: K10, Surround them and take them from behind," Rainbow answered "Affirmative," The General answered General Flash's force came into view and began to shot the Chinese forces Big Mac was fighting against. They then splitted up and cleaned left and right at the same time. "Everything is clear, Now let's move into the attack," General Flash ordered "Yes Sir," Everypony replied and began to attack the defence again 15 Minutes Later In those 15 Minutes we reduced our loses from 5 soldiers every minute to 5 soldier every 3 minutes. "Okay we nearly broke them let's..." The General began "Sir very big and heavy Russian force from behind," Rainbow informed "How many?" The General asked "Nearly 2 regiments," Rainbow answered "WHAT?! Okay everypony let's stop the attack and counter-attack their ambush," The General informed "Yes sir," Everypony except Rainbow replied "Sir one company should stay back, And keep this flank from falling us into our backs," Rainbow said "Okay, your Company will do that," The General replied "Yes Sir," Rainbow answered "So with not even a full battalion we shall hold back nearly a whole Chinese regiment?" Soarin asked "Uhm... Yea pretty much," Rainbow answered "Hmph... Shouldn't be a problem," Soarin replied sarcastically We only had 3 companies, The general needed as much units as he could to counter-attack the Russian ambush. He had nearly 2 regiments with him he said they would need around 30 minutes when not longer to wipe them out. About 10 Minutes later . "Colonel Dash, we will need less time than expected, We just got German reinforcements," The General informed "Okay, how long?" Rainbow asked "10 till 15 minutes," The General answered "Okay," Rainbow replied "We will move over into the attack and push the defensive Chinese force back," Rainbow said "What?! Are you stupid?" Soarin asked "Nope, We will make it easier for the the General to push through the rest," Rainbow answered "Makes sense... Okay let's go!" Soarin replied "Okay we will move over into the attack," Rainbow said to her company We began to charge at the Chinese force and took them by surprise, We nearly threw them to their HQ back I ordered 3 platoons to guard the 3 street's behind us. "Okay Colonel we just wiped the Russian force out... Wait did you move into the attack?" The General asked "Yes Sir, I ordered my unit to do this to make it easier for you to wipe out the rest," Rainbow answered "Well it could have gone wrong... But never mind that, It worked and you just made it easier for all of us to break through their defence," The General answered The Generals force began to move to the down and splitted in half and attack the left and right side, He even sended a couple of platoons down to us to support us. "Okay we will keep pushing until the General get's to us, Then we will see what we do," Rainbow said 10 Minutes later "Okay we nearly got it, Let's just keep charging," The General said "Yes Sir," Everypony answered "If we keep this pace we will end this in not even 20 minutes," Rainbow figured "Well then let's do this," Soarin answered "Heck yes!" Rainbow replied We kept our pace and in 15 minutes we pretty much had the whole city and the last target was their HQ. "Okay they are making their last stand at their HQ, Let's role over them and end this war," The General said "Yes sir," Everypony replied "Company one goes left and Company two goes right," Rainbow ordered to her troops "Yes Ma'am," they replied They began to attack it only took them 5 minutes to overrun the enemy. "Okay a squad of 20 ponies will go in and the rest defends if something should attack here again," The General ordered "Who...," Rainbow began "You, And please no prisoners" The General cut off and said simply "Yes Sir," She replied and got out of her tank We made our way into the HQ we walked from room to room and killed everything that was inside something around 15 griffins ans 25 hippogriffis. But we found war prisoners bruised, cut and nearly dead and got them out of there. "Okay everything is clear sir," Rainbow informed "Okay then now officially the war is ended," The General said and cheered They began to pack and made their way back to Equestria "And that kiddo is how your old parents won the war,"Rainbow said "Cool! So what happend after that?" Prism Bolt asked "Oh that's another story," Rainbow answered and smiled at Soarin Author's Note So That's it, I hope you enjoyed my little Story. Chapter 1.5 [What happend while Rainbow was unconscious]"Sir, We are getting heavy attacked, We can't stand these loses for long," Twilight said "Affirmative, Try to hold them off as long as you can." Big Mac replied "Soarin here, we are not having that much trouble we could even push them back," Soarin said "Okay, Try to push around and come from behind," Big Mac answered "Yes Sir." Soarin replied Soarin did as told only to find something he hadn't expected, as he pushed around a corner some platoons came from behind them. "Sir, plan change we just got pinned down from some platoons, and can't push those back," Soarin said "*Sigh* well try to fight yourself out I can't send help." Big Mac answered "Affirmative." Soarin replied "Echo here, if we stay longer here they will overrun us," Echo exclaimed "Okay, you and Foxtrot fallback into the town center, and keep them away from our backs." Big Mac replied It worked... but only for a couple of minutes "Sir here's Twilight, we can't hold this side anymore," Twilight said "Hmm..., Okay plan change, Big Mac to all companies we are falling back into the town center." Big Mac ordered They all moved back, without loses "Okay everypony keep those commies in front of you, and don't let them though, or this whole defence tatic won't work," Big Mac said "Yes Sir." Everypony replied This time it worked for a rather long time about 1 hour later "Sir, our ammunition is nearly depleted," Soarin exclaimed "Yes doesn't look better by us too," Big Mac replied "Okay everypony this worked quiet well, but still, we have to fallback," Big Mac said "Fallback? were, we are surrounded," Twilight replied "Big Mac to every company, we will make a last push attempt on the North flank." Big Mac answered And so they attacked and... it worked they were though, but what Big Mac didn't expected was that the russian waited for them. "Well there goes that plan," Big Mac said "And now?" Soarin asked "*Sigh* surrender..." Big Mac replied No pony said anything nor did anything. Some russians began to walk to them but no one shot, with that the rest came and took away they're weapons.
Chapter 1Chapter 1 We were stationed in Konja [Poland] and were supposed to help Crystal Empire [Germany] to throw the enemy's attack back, our first order was to take a city called Karakolt back from the Griffins Empire [Russia], We had 8 battalions some Air support and a small artillery platoon, what looked like a simple mission, turned out completely different Bravo company was suppost to hold back enemys reinforcements, While we captured the town, I hoped it would have been enough but... "Commander, Bravo company just radioded over that a large russian armored force is on the way here, if they don't get support the russians well be here by 1800 hours" Fluttershy said "Damit, ok tell Echo and Foxtrot to go and support them, and send Hotel-Niner with them they could use the air support" Rainbow replied "Understood. Here is Delta, the commander just gave order that Echo and Foxtrot are send to support Bravo, And Hotel-Niner will support you from the air" Fluttershy answered "Affirmative moving out, and Delta, Bravo, Hotel-Niner and Echo to go on channel 34" Foxtrot replied "Affirmative radioing it over now." Fluttershy answered "Okay, Now tell Charlie to go west, they need to spot for Yankee-Five so they can give accurate fire support and tell them to take channel 38" Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am, Charlie company, you are ordered to go west and give accurate fire order to Yankee-Five you have channel 38" Fluttershy told them "Tell Sierra and Alpha to support us we need to get that city back, hotel-Seven-Niner needs to cover us from air attacks" Rainbow ordered "Sierra and Alpha you support us, we will attack the city, hotel Seven-niner you will cover us from air attacks" Fluttershy said "this is going to be a hard fight." Twilight said "I know but we need to take that city, let's get a move on." Rainbow replied Everything went as planned... We lost less soldiers than expected... until, "Okay we nearly got the town back we only need to..." Rainbow began before getting cut off "Ma'am do you read us?" Charlie asked "Yes, what is it?" Rainbow replied "We just spotted 4 russian armored battalions coming you're way" charlie answered "What?!, where did they come from?" Rainbow asked "They went around the East." Charlie replied "How long till they are here?" Rainbow asked "About 2 hours Ma'am" Charlie answered "Okay, plan change... Here is Delta company, 4 armored russians battalions are coming directly at us, we need to move faster and then dig in." Rainbow ordered "Ma'am we are doing our best but they have better defence than we though, this might take some time" Alpha replied "We have no time, do it as fast you can, Sierra you will dig in at the North you will stay in support, Alpha as soon you're done you go east and take defence positions my company will take south, now get a move on" Rainbow answered We pushed harder than before it still took us quiet sometime, something around 20 minutes "Here is Alpha we broke they're defence and go now moving east to defend" Alpha said "Okay good, but move fast we only got about 1 hour" Rainbow replied We began to set up Sand bags, mines, and some anti-tank infantry in some buildings, after about 30 minutes we thought we would have enough defences up. "Hers Alpha again, we took defencive positions and are ready." Alpha said "Sierra here we're ready too" Sierra added "Okay good, Sierra remember you are in support, If somepony needs help you need to move as soon as you can " Rainbow replied "Ma'am, no worries, we are always ready." Sierra answered "Charlie how long?" Rainbow asked "Ehmm about 40 minutes Ma'am" Charlie replied "Okay 40 Minutes everypony, be ready this is goi..." Rainbow got cut off "Ma'am! We are under heavy artillery attack!" Sierra exclaimed "What?, Artillery but how. Charlie new order you go and destroy that artillery!" Rainbow ordered "I see 2 battalions rolling in on us, we can't stand alone here we need support or we're forced to retreat." Sierra added "No, you won't I will send half my company to you make good use of them." Rainbow answered "Thank you Ma'am" Sierra replied "6 Battalions this is going to be hard." Rainbow thought "Heres Alpha we are getting attacked by 2 battalions, but we can stand it." Alpha said "Okay understood, try to hold as long as you can" Rainbow replied We already had a rough begin but we managed to stand our ground for quiet some time. Still after about 30 minutes... "Delta Company come in, we can't hold on much longer, they throw to much at us, we need to fall back!" Alpha exclaimed "Affirmative you go support Sierra, you both go into the attack and punch a hole though they offinsive, my company will defend alone in the mean time, understood?" Rainbow replied "yes Ma'am." alpha answered "Okay Delta Company brase yourselfs because this is going to be a rough fight." Rainbow said After about 45 Minutes with heavys loses. Ma'am here is platoon 1, we are ready pummeled pretty hard we could... The pony got cut off "Okay, Platoon 3 you go support them" Rainbow answered "Affirmative," A pony replied We held out for quiet some time it took Alpha and Sierra sometime but they finally after about 10 til 1 minutes they managed to break though, So we were falling back... Into enemys territory, We were under heavy attack and lost a good ammount of soldier... The next thing I know there was a big explosion somewhere nearby and then nothing, as I woke up... "Heres Big Mac, Delta you go with Echo and clean the town, the rest will go arround and take them by suprise, Foxtrot and Sierra you go left while Bravo and my company will go right, let's move out." Big Mac ordered "Ughhh, My Head." Rainbow mumbled "Good to finally see you awake Dash." Twilight said "What happend and where are we?" Rainbow asked "There was a big explosion after that nothing else came from you, I looked back at you and you were unconsious, with that Alpha took over command since Big Mac is rank next after you. We are currently trying to get the city back... again" Twilight replied "Okay, now what's the plan?" Rainbow asked "We will go with Echo into full offensive while Bravo, Foxtrot, Sierra and Alpha go around different sides." Twilight answered "Sounds like a good plan. Let's do it." Rainbow replied "Dash, I hate to say it but in this state you can't fight." Twilight replied "What are you talking about. I only hit my head a little to hard that's all." Rainbow shrugged "I'm sorry Dash but you may have a concussion, a pretty bad one maybe." Twilight replied "but... I can't just sit around doing nothing" Rainbow said "I'm sorry Dash but..." Twilight got cut off "Okay, Okay you know what just go you lose time because of me." Rainbow said "Thanks for understanding Dash." Twilight said "Yea, Yea no problem now shut up and go!" Rainbow replied And so they attacked, some pretty rough fighting was going on, I could tell by the radioing. Your priority was to take the town back by noon, The fight already lasted for about 1 or 2 hours. "Heres Big Mac we are going to need longer than expected any luck by you Foxtrot?" Big Mac said "No sorry sir, we're having problemms too there are about 5 battalions here, we need to retreat." Foxtrot replied "Wait 5 Battalions? that doesn't makes any sense we got about 7 by us how did..." Big Mac got cut off "Hey Big Mac I hate to interrupt but I spotted several battalions moving in from your left you should fall back." Rainbow said "Thanks for the warning, retreating now." Big Mac replied "Twilight here, we got the town back come in and take defence positions." Twilight said "Affirmative coming in. Foxtrot and Sierra you fall back too, Delta will support you while Echo will support us." Big Mac orded "Affirmative." Sierra replied "Yes Sir." Foxtrot answered "Okay... Soarin... NOW!" Big Mac exclaimed With that arillery began to rain down onto the russians, the rain lastet very long for a artillery barage about 2 till 3 minutes later it ended and.. "What?!, Get ready they're still coming!" Big Mac exclaimed "Sir! they rushed us from the south. we are getting overrun! we need *Static*" Sierra said "Sierra?! Sierra come in... Damit!" Big Mac replied "Twilight here *Static* need to retre *static*" Twilight said "Delta say again, I read you one by one!" Big Mac replied "Falling Back to secondary position." Twilight said again "Sir can't hold falling back to Delta!" Bravo exclaimed "Affirmative." Big Mac replied "Big Mac fallback into the town center I spotted more battalions coming you're way." Rainbow said "This is insane how many battalions will they send?!" Big Mac replied "I don't know, and I don't care because I got a nasty suprise for those commies." Rainbow answered "Rainbow Dash to all companies, fall back into the town center NOW!" Rainbow ordered Every company did as told and in under 2 minutes everypony stood their ground at the town centre "Dash...?" Big Mac asked "Just wait, look into the sky." Rainbow replied A bomber squadron came into view, Ready for carpet bombing everything around the city centre. 7 bombers dropped they're load and turned. First everything was quiet but then. All you could hear were explosions everywhere. It was a sight indescribable, But as soon the bombing was over... "WOOHAHA" Foxtrot shouted "take that you commie bastards!" Twilight exclaimed "Hell yes!" Big Mac shouted "Now everypony, COUNTER ATTACK!, we need to take back what's left of the city and... no..." Rainbow went quiet for some seconds "What is it...? Dash?" Big Mac asked "About 15 more divisions are coming in and fast looks like with air support too... Everypony get out of...*Gun Shoots followed by Static*" Rainbow shouted before getting cut off "Dash? ugh, okay everpony you heard her get ready heavy attack incoming." Big Mac said "But 15 divisions... where did they come from" Twilight asked "I don't know, I lost contact to Dash too." Big Mac replied "Damit we need to get to her!" Twilight replied "What we need to do is dig in and fend the attackers of." Big Mac answered "Okay then..." Twilight replied
Chapter 2Chapter 2 I woke up on the ground, My Head felt like shit, but still I stood up and walked over to the ham radio "heres Rainbow Dash, Big Mac come in." Rainbow said "Big Mac?" She asked again "hmmm... That's wierd." She thought "Bravo come in." Rainbow said "Charlie... Anypony!" Rainbow asked "Colonel?" A Soldier asked "Finally were is everypony?" Rainbow asked "Ma'am I'm everything that is left from the companys. the rest have gotten dragged off..." the Soldier answered "Dragged off? where?" Rainbow asked "They went ehmm... north, it was a rather large force about 10 battalions." the soldier replied "What happend to the town?" Rainbow asked but pretty much already knew the answer "War happend Ma'am, we defended till the last soldier... but we were outnumbered 4 to 1." the soldier answered "Hmm... so North, that can only mean..." replied "Ma'am I hope you don't plan to go alone after them." the soldier said "Well actually..." Rainbow replied "Ma'am you have no chance alone." the soldier said "I know and I don't care, so..." Rainbow answered "Ma'am... It was an honor to fight with you." the soldier replied "Pleasure is on my site too... So north from here is a prison camp called Grypha. You soldier, try to get to the HQ and tell them Operation: Typhoon has started, they need to send some battalions to attack the city, tell them something around 11 Armored Battalion, 7 Infantry Battalions and some Heavy anti air defence, if they ask you who you got that order from tell them from me, if they don't trust you just tell them. Courage. they should now what is ment by it." Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am and Good luck" the soldier replied With that I began to make my way to the war prison I had nothing than a M4 with 2 Magazines, Binoculars and a survival knife. I began to make my way to the War prison, after about 3 hours of walking, I saw a patrol. "A patrol, a pretty small one though, 2 trucks and a combat jeep, should I...?" Rainbow thought Rainbow Dash made her way slow, steady and stealthy, the patrol has a small break at a small house... "That's they're last break," Rainbow Dash thought I walked around the house, and saw 2 Griffins just staying there, they faced the other direction. "Please, don't turn around," Rainbow thought She walked up to 1 of the Griffins and stabbed him in the throat, the second Griffin turned just little too late as the knife hit him right in the chest. "If all of them are like this, I will take them out in no time," Rainbow thought out loud She saw the jeep but no Griffin sat in it, she then moved up to the jeep only paying little attention, A pony spotted her and shot, but shot right past her, but it was enough to get the attention of the other ponies. "Damit, well looks like it there's no way arround now," Rainbow thought Dash took out her M4 taking out that pony... but 5 more came around the corner... But to her luck they didn't spotted her "Okay no it's offical, these Griffins are blind, But anyway how am I Supposed to take them out, I only got this M4 and... The .50 cal on the jeep" Rainbow thought I open the door of the jeep as quiet as she could, and jumped in, I moved up to the .50 cal, and began to pretty much shred them appart, before the Griffins could react 2 of them were already dead, the other 3 hid behind the closest thing, I jumped out from the jeep "Okay, 2 Griffins ran right and 1 left," Rainbow thought She walked to the left side first, as she walked arround the corner from the house, A gun barrel was already held against her head "Damit, didn't saw that one coming," She mumbled "Last words?" The Griffin asked shaking a little "Nope," Rainbow answered with pretty much no care But the Griffin didn't shot "I... can't do this...," The Griffin said "...," Rainbow said nothing I grabbed the gun barrel, and moved it away from my head, I nodded at Her, and moved passed her, as I peeked around the other corner I saw the 2 griffins, I wanted to take out my weapon again and shot them, But before I did so I felt a claw on my sholder, I instantly turned. "Shhhh, I'm gonna help you, okay?" The griffin whispered I just nodded, I didn't knew what to say, The griffin walked over to the other 2 griffins, I wasn't able to hear what they talked about, The 2 griffins turned and pulled ot they're weapons, The next thing I know the griffin that wanted to help me knocked both of them out. I walked over slowly. The griffin turned and nodded, and I nodded back, She went over to one of the trucks and got all the weapons out and gave them to me, "They could come in handy," Rainbow replied The griffin said nothing, got into the truck and drove off, I shouted my thanks after her, but nothing else... after several seconds I looked in the second truck and found some C4 and some more guns, as soon as I got them I went over to the jeep putted everything in there, and was off. Several hours later Rainbow Dash followed another patrol at save distance, they had a break at a small village, she watched at they're behavior, one Griffin just kept talking while the other one said nothing and did nothing... His uniform covered everything from head to tail so nothing could be sean, and he had a helmet too "Hmmm that one guy says nothing and has a helmet and the perfect uniform, He that's my lucky day." she thought Rainbow got out from the truck, she went over there as fast and as quiet she could, and hid behind a house. " But how can I get them to split up... of course." she thought She looked for stuff to throw, and saw some stones she got over to them and picked them up. She threw them to the opposite house the 2 Griffins got up and looked around "That's right keep going you two... come on split up...," she thought and it worked they went into the house one of the Griffins went upside and the other one searched down stairs, Rainbow moved quickly, she threw another stone but this time to her former position, It was loud enough to make the Griffin down stair notice and he moved over... Rainbow got behind him and kicked him against the backside of the helmet, he went unconscious, Rainbow change the clothes she struggeld a little bit to get into it but she finally did it. "Now that I got this I... damit he comes...," She though. A gun shot, the other pony that was upstairs ran down around the corner and he saw his "Mate" killed something "Why did you...killed that griffin" the Griffin asked "Phew it works," Rainbow though. She turned but said nothing she pointed at the bloody knife besides the dead body and then to her wound "Hmm... Okay I guess... Now let's get a move on, don't want that to happen again." he answered Rainbow just nodded. They went over to the truck, Rainbow limped over to the co-driver side, and the went Griffin to the drivers side, with that they were off. Several hours later... again Rainbow and her "Mate" arrived at the prision, The driver talked with the guard and the gates opened. "Good... Now that I'm inside keep an eye out for them," She thought. They passed several cells, then Rainbow saw some pretty familiar faces, She stopped and turned looking at them "These are the guys from the big city battle." The Griffin explained Rainbow just nodded and get moving again I just walked around the whole rest of the day, to explore the prison, I went to bed but kept the Uniform on it was very early, the alarm didn't even got off yet, she got up and went back to the prison cells 5 Minutes Later She stood before the prison cell of her friends, she knocked against the bars to wake them up "What is it this time?" Big Mac asked "We already said we ain't gonna tell anythin' " Applejack said "And that's good." Rainbow replied "That voice..." Fluttershy said, "Rainbow?" Twilight asked "Yea it's me, listen I will get you guys out tomorrow, I only have to think for a plan..." Rainbow said "Ya what?, did you looked around ya?, we're in a prison cell surrounded by commies." Applejack replied "I know... hey how many from us are here?" Rainbow asked "Quiet some, why?" Twilight asked "I asked how many." Rainbow replied "Hmm... about 2 Companies why?." Twilight answered "okay, that's more then enough... guys I gotta go, see you later or tomorrow." Rainbow said "Dash... be careful." Soarin said "Will do." Rainbow replied She went back to her bunk, as soon she got out from the uniform and into the bed again, the alarm rang and she did like everyone else... only the second time. The rest of the day went pretty much "Normal" for commie standards, She stood some guard did something of this and that and that was pretty much it. But while she did she thought about a plan "Hmm, there are some gas tanks... I could use the C4 on them and distract everyone, yea that would be best," Rainbow thought As soon as my watch was over it was dark, everyone that had day watch went to bed and the night watch began, I went over to the prison cells and told the guard there that it was my watch now, he gave me the keys and walked away, after about 5 minutes I just walked out too and no one noticed. I had the C4 with me and placed it near the gas tanks right after that I went over to the armory, and wanted to get some weapons in my duffle bag, But on my way back saw a some armored vehicles. Still I carried on, about 5 minutes later I was in the armory for my luck noone was in there and I was able to get some weapons and ammo. The Next day... again Rainbow had though about a perfect plan yesterday, she went over to the prison cells once again "Guys, be ready, I will get you out of here within the hour" Rainbow told them "What's the sign?" Big Mac asked "The sign is me... as soon you see me in here again will be with key for the cells and you will be free." Rainbow replied "Understood." Big Mac replied Rainbow Dash nodded at them and went of. I needed to wait for the perfect moment and it took some times but after about 50 Minutes, I got it and... Meanwhile "When do you guys think it will happen?" Big Mac asked Suddenly Explosions and shooting from outside answered his question "There it is." Applejack replied "No shit Captain obvious," Big Mac replied "ha, I knew that C4 would come in handy." Rainbow thought Rainbow Dash ran down the hallway with a her duffle bag full of weapons and ammo on her back and the keyring for the cells in her mouth, she bursts through the doors and threw her helmet off and went over to the cell of her friends "There she is!" Fluttershy exclaimed "Dash... really... always?" Big Mac asked "What you know me, now let me get you..." Rainbow began, but she got cut off mid sentence as a Griffin jumped onto her back, she was thrown of her hoofs by the force , But the Griffin didn't sit long on her as she bucked him down, she rolled over stood back up and charged the Him, the ponies in the cells were only able to hear things crash down, and sometimes quiet crys of pain until, one very loud cry of pain was to hear, then a cracking bones and then... nothing, everything was quiet for a couple of seconds, until hoofsteps could be heard and somepony came into view "Rainbow!" Twilight exclaimed "What? did you thought that a punk like that could kill me?..." Rainbow replied breathing heavily "Ughh... my Head" She thought "No but having a knife in you back hoof isn't nothing." Big Mac answered "Wha?... ohh hehe ehmm..., let me just real quick open the door, before more come." Rainbow replied Rainbow Dash opend the cell door and told them to grab the gear in the duffle bag, and then to get everypony else out of the cells A couple of minutes Later Rainbow looked at her back hoof and thinking until, "Dash everypony is free, what now." Soarin asked "I saw some armored vehicles outside, we need to get there." Rainbow replied "Okay, you heard the lady, GO!" Soarin shouted Everypony began to charge outside except of Soarin. "Hey Dash let me help you with the knife real quick." Soarin said "No, No don't even dare to...!" Rainbow exclaimed Before she could finish her sentence Soarin pulled the knife in one swift move out "AGGGHH, WHAT DID I TELL YOU!" Rainbow shouted "Don't be such a baby, got bandages in the duffle bag?" Soarin replied "NO! that's one of the reasons why I didn't wanted that you pull it out!" Rainbow answered "Don't worry I will get you some, We only have to slow the bleeding down" Soarin replied "No, you already did enough. I'm just gonna use some parts of the uniform, you go out and help the others." Rainbow replied "Dash just tell me where the clinic is." Soarin replied "*Sigh* hmm... I think down the hallway and then to right." Rainbow answered "Okay, be right back." Soarin replied After about 4 minutes Soarin came back "Got them." Soarin said "Finally what took you so long?" Rainbow replied "hmm... for a Pony that doesn't want bandages you're pretty impatient *Chuckle*" Soarin said "Haha mighty funny." Rainbow replied "Sorry I just needed to find them and..." Soarin began before getting cut off "Okay, Okay just bandage me and shut up..." Rainbow replied "Dash, Why do you have a deep cut in your front hoof, it doesn't look you got it today?" Soarin asked "Ohh, yea long story, let's just say I needed it to get in here." Rainbow answered "You won't be walking good like this." Soarin replied "I don't care, as long as I can walk everything's fine." Rainbow replied "Dash... I'm gonna carry you okay?" Soarin said "What? no I... *Sigh* fine... Thanks." Rainbow replied Soarin placed Rainbow onto his back and carried her out, in the meanwhile pretty much the whole prison was wiped out. "Dash?" Big Mac asked "Yea...?" Rainbow replied "why are you... Ehmm nevermind, we got the whole prision, we would be ready to move out." Big Mac answered "okay we are gonna move back south, back to the city and going to retake it." Rainbow replied "What we can't do that we don't have enough soldiers for that." Soarin replied "Hmph, that's what you think, I sended a pony back to the HQ before I came here to tell them Operation: Typhoon is up, by now there should be 26 Battalions attacking the city" Rainbow answered "Wasn't that a backup plan for extreme situations?" Soarin asked "And what are you calling this?" Rainbow asked "Point taken... Okay, let's get a move on." Soarin replied "Soarin bring me to my company please." Rainbow said "Dash, You're in no condition to lead the charge nor a company." Soarin replied "Are you... why... AHH." Rainbow replied angry "Dash calm down, you will come with my company, we will stay a little behind, but we will see action." Soarin said "Ohh... Alright..." Rainbow replied Soarin walked to one of the tank and got in, Rainbow looked out for a second and signed everypony to get ready. "Okay for this operation Big Mac has the commando, but Twilight you will lead Delta, Soarin Charlie, Big Mac Alpha, now get a move on!" Rainbow said "Okay everypony, get ready we will move south and get the city back, but this time we will have much more support" Big Mac told them
Chapter 3Chapter 3 half the day later "Okay everypony we will move in from the right, and help those 15 battalions out." Big Mac said "They will think we are on the russian side." Rainbow answered "I know we will take that as advantage. Now let's go." Big Mac replied "Spitfire, the enemy just got 2 battalions more we can't stand much longer." Fleetfoot said "Affirmative try to..." Spitfire began before getting cut off "Wait some of the tanks are shooting they're own tank..." Fleetfoot said "What why would they..." Spitfire began before getting cut off... again "Here is Captain Big Macintosh, We are in some russian vehicles and currently distracting some battalions, who is in charge of the ehmm... right side?" Big Mac asked "That's me sir, and thanks for the help." Fleetfoot answered "No problems, now listen you take advantage of that, our tanks will fallback behind them so you don't shot us and you charge in we will give fire support." Big Mac said "Big Mac I'm still giving the commands around here." Spitfire replied "I'm sorry to interrupt Spitfire but actually I am now." Rainbow said "Dash?" Spitfire asked "Yes and now that I am back in command I say listen to Big Mac." Rainbow replied "Affirmative Ma'am. You heard them Fleetfoot." Spitfire replied "Affirmative, moving in." Fleetfoot answered It took us a couple of minutes to take them out, they were so out of order some of them continued to shoot each other, but we didn't mind like that we had less Shells to waste "Okay all done here now let's get to the left side." Big Mac said We went over to the other side, It took us a little bit longer than the right side, but it was quick "Okay now that we have the then we will... ehmmm..." Big Mac didn't say anything "*Sigh*, we will go forward, into the attack, we are going to take a city called Talos next." Rainbow finished "Right." Big Mac said "Wow, wow into the attack?" Spitfire asked "Yes, I hope you know what the Plan: Typhoon means." Soarin replied "Yes I know... are you telling me..." Spitfire asked "Yes, he does." Rainbow cut off "*Sigh* Affirmative." Spitfire answered "Spitfire would be kind if you could send 1 platoon back and let them get reinforcements best would be 5 More armored Battalions and 4 mobile infantry battalions they shall send them to our mission target." Rainbow said "Ma'am yes Ma'am." Spitfire replied "Ohh and Spitfire before I forget it, your company is now added to Delta and Fleetfoot Yours to Charlie, and only to let you guys now Delta is led by Twilight and Charlie by Soarin." Rainbow said "Affirmative." Fleetfoot replied "Yes Ma'am." Spitfire said "Now that this is out of the way, Let's get going, Our next target is Talos" Rainbow said With that we went off again we had no break, no resupply, no nothing... we didn't care then. It so or so took us nearly 2 days to get there , and we didn't wanted to waste anymore time. On the way, we had a discussion on how to attack the city, I said pretty much nothing, I felt better I was nearly able to do everything like normal again, but I actually wanted to know how they deal with it. "Ma'am we are nearing the town any command?" Big Mac asked "Yes you take go though the middle, Delta left and Charlie right... Ehmm" Rainbow began, only to go silent "Ma'am no disrespect, but I think the right side is covered weakest Delta and Charlie should attack there and overrun them and then attack from behind the lines. While I distract them," Big Mac suggested "Fine, whatever then do that..." Rainbow replied a little angry "Ehmm..." Big Mac said "*Sigh* Sorry." Rainbow replied "No Problem, Now people get a move on..." Big Mac answered "Dash what's wrong?" Soarin asked "I don't know..." Rainbow replied "Dash." Soarin said "No really I don't know... Soarin." Rainbow answered "*Sigh* Get ready we are coming close." Rainbow said "*Sigh* Right..." Soarin replied The battle was ragin on for a long time they putted up heavy resistance. "Come on guys this is they're first defence line, why are you struggling to get past it?" Big Mac asked "Sir, they have very good positions, we can't,,,, Soarin began before getting cut off "Then don't let them have that advantage and push!" Big Mac answered "Yes sir," Soarin replied It still took us sometime, but we finally broke through we have gotten splitted up from the main force, it was only us and our radio has gotten damaged. "I knew we shouldn't have pushed that agressive," Soarin ranted "Ohh shush Soarin, If we wouldn't have pushed we would still fight there, and do noting productive" Rainbow replied "Yea, well better then to drive around behind enemy lines," Soarin answered "Hey soarin quick topic change... It's getting boring in here," Rainbow replied "And what do you want to do me with that?" Soarin asked "Well I wanted to asked if... I could climb onto you and shoot around with the MG on top," Rainbow replied "Well, I don't mind," Soarin shrugged "Yay!," Rainbow exclaimed I climbed onto Soarin's shoulder so he could still do his duty as commander and I was able to shoot some things with the top mounted MG and didn't needed to sit around all the time. "Just becareful up there," Soarin said "Yea, yea tell me targets and I do the rest," Rainbow replied "Okay, Well left side Infantry troop." Soarin answered "Got it... Hey Soarin I hope you know there's a enemy Tank behind us." Rainbow replied "What? gunner Tank behind us." Soarin answered "Affirmative." The gunner replied We took out several platoons, but we were further in enemys territory than expected, I could only hear a loud explosion and pretty much flew off Soarin's shoulders, and nearly of the tank, but was able the catch some iron bars on the turret back. "Soarin need help here!" Rainbow shouted He looked back only to see Rainbow holding at some bars, were some of they're equipment was stored. "Hold on Dash I'm coming." Soarin shouted back "Driver keep driving try to get back to our units." Soarin said "Yes Sir." The Driver replied Soarin climbed up and now stood on the outside from the turret, he was trying to get to me. "Soarin behind!" Rainbow shouted an enemy tank shoot hit our tank, but the shoot bounced, still that force was enough to bring Soarin to fall, he was able to get a hold on one of the side bars on of the turret but wasn't able to pull himself up again. "DRIVER SLOW DOWN!" Soarin shouted ontop of his lungs so the driver could hear the,. But driver didn't catch that perfectly, all he heard was "Driver st..." He thought for some moments, and in an instance he stopped the tank, the force sended Soarin flying a few feet but landed on the ground and rolled himself, but Rainbow wasn't as lucky, she hitted her left forehoof against the commanders cappola and the bone broke, she too flew a few feet and hitted her head against the ground pretty nasty, she rolled a few times till she came too a stop. "Dash, are you ok?! Soarin shouted "*BLAAARGH* I... felt... better..." Rainbow replied "Come on Dash we need to get in again, and get back to the unit we shouldn't have split up with them in the first place" Soarin said "Soarin... No can straight see even... you me help please" Rainbow replied "Sure." Soarin replied He sat Me onto his back and carried me into the Tank while the gunner covered us, and soon we in again and where off, we soon found some of our units again. They moved with them and soon the whole town was in their hands... ehmm Hoofs. Right after that they had a quick commander briefing. "Soarin where the hell have you been?" Fleetfoot asked "We got splitted up from the units and our radio is damaged." Soarin answered "Soarin... Wheres Dash?" Big Mac asked "Oops, right..." Soarin replied he went back into the tank got Rainbow and carried her and a bucket outside "Why are you carrying her and... a bucket?" Big Mac asked "he me carrying because me sick..." Rainbow replied Big Mac threw a questioning look at Soarin "We were in a pretty rough fight. A blast send Rainbow rolling back, She nearly rolled of the tank, but she held herself on some bars, on the turret back" Soarin said "And then?" Big Mac asked "He me tried to back get in, we hitted gotten and he fell of too..." Rainbow replied "..." No pony replied "After that I told the driver to slow down, he didn't quiet catch that and stop in the tracks... we flew off by the force and..." Soarin continued "Me hitted hoof on tank and ground to head..." Rainbow added "hey Medic, get her patched up!" Big Mac shouted "Yes Sir *Salute*." The Medic answered "I will bring her into the tent, be right back" Soarin said "Whay... ehhh Eyrie target next...ehhh... support wait for and uhh days tomorrow till wait and ehmm... tactic same like this and the rest you think...*Hmmph* Bucket! *BLAAARGH*" Rainbow said, before she vomited "*Sigh* Yes Ma'am." Big Mac replied With that Soarin carried Rainbow into the doctors tent. "Thanks soarin." Rainbow said "No problem. Doc inform me about her status as soon your done." Soarin said "Yes Sir." The Medic answered "By Dash." Soarin said "Bye..." Rainbow replied Meanwhile "She really doesn't looks good." Fleetfoot said "Don't mind her, she's been though worse." Big Mac said "I know but..." Fleetfoot said before getting cut off "No buts, let's focus, she said support will come in tomorrow, We need to wait till then, But we should be ready to move as soon they arrive, the next target is Eyrie." Big Mac said Later that day "So doc how does it look?" Soarin asked "Well she has a broken her left forehoof, she has something stuck in her right back hoof and has a deep cut in her right fore hoof and a pretty moderate till serve concussion, but despite all that she is in a very good status" The Medic answered "So better let her stay out of battle..." Soarin thought out loud "Yep that would probably be best." The Medic agreed "Soarin, that you?" Rainbow asked "Yea it's me Dash." Soarin answered "So I go out and fight can again?" Rainbow asked "I'm sorry Dash but your in no condition for that." Soarin answered "B-but I no want sit around nothing doing..." Rainbow protested "I'm sorry but..." Soarin got cut off "Idea. Me wait in back you go in, I spot bad guys that flank want, okay? Rainbow asked "If you feel up for it, I wouldn't mind, what about you doc?" Soarin replied "I'm not sure." The medic answered "Please I no want sit here alltime..." Rainbow said "I could look after her..." Soarin added "*Sigh* She has to let her get checked once a day." the medic answered "Well, okay I will come and get you tomorrow Dashie..." Soarin said "Kay." Rainbow replied
Chapter 4Chapter 4 The next day The reinforcements came in early, Big Mac still had the commando until I felt better. Soarin camed over to get me. "Hey doc is she already awake?" Soarin asked "No she's not, and before you go to her I need to inform you about some stuff," The Medic answered "Like what?" Soarin asked "She might still have headaches, that's normal I got some painkillers for that here be sure she takes them everyday," The Medic replied "Will do, anything else?" Soarin answered "Yes, it's normal by a hit that hard she isn't able to walk good the next 2 or 3 days, after that everything should be normal, but if after those 3 dys you notice she has concentration difficulties, memory loss, more clumsiness than usual or balance problems, you should come see me" "Clumsiness... ehmm what came after?" Soarin asked as he stopped writing down "balance problems," The Medic answered "Right, So if I should notice one of these I will come to you" Soarin replied "Okay, now go and get her, we will move soon, Ohh and before I forget don't let her walk it could make it worse" the medic answered Soarin nodded back and made his way to Rainbow Dash "Hey Dashie you're ready?" Soarin asked "*Yawn* Huh, Wha?" Rainbow asked half asleep "*Chuckle* Are you ready?" Soarin asked again "I'm always ready, just let me..." Rainbow answered before trying to get out of bed "Dash the doc said walking isn't good for you yet," Soarin said "And how am I suppost to get out of here? You wanna carry me again or what?" Rainbow asked "Well duh," Soarin replied I climbed onto Soarin's back and hold my self has close as I could "Dash... can't... breath..." Soarin choked "oops, Sorry" Rainbow said a little embarssed "No problem," Soarin answered after clearing his throat He began to make his way to the tank, and got on top of it with me still holding onto him. "Yo, Gunner could you help me here please?" He asked "Yes Sir," The pony answered They got my into the tank so gently if not for the cold steel I wouldn't have noticed they tried to get me in "Thanks that you guys do this..." Rainbow said "What do you mean?" Soarin asked "Most ponies wouldn't care about things like this, they would just say get her back to Equestria or something like that," Rainbow answered "Ma'am we never leave comrades in needs" The Gunner replied "You don't hear that that often these days," Rainbow mumbled "What do you mean?" Soarin asked "Nothing, ohh and Soarin before I forget thanks for taking me under you're wing while I'm sick," Rainbow replied "No problemm" Soarin answered "Man, I really owe him something for this" Rainbow thought "Charlie are ready now? We are all waiting for you," Big Mac asked "Yes, we are sir, Soarin replied "Then let's move out everypony," Big Mac answered In the two days of travel I either had the worst headaches ever or just could concentrat myself on something, Well atleast there was no more vometing "Okay in this operation Twilight will lead Delta and attack from the west." Big Mac began "Yes Sir." Twilight replied "Fleetfoot will lead Charlie and goes west too, but your mission is to cut a small hole though the defence, and then attack them from behind." Big Mac continued "Roger That." Fleetfoot replied "Spitfire you lead Bravo and attack from the east." Big Mac said "Yes Sir." Spitfire answered "I take Alpha and will attack the centre." Big Mac finished "Ohh and Soarin, you and Dash will stay behind and spot for any approaching danger, you are Foxtrot." Big Mac added "Yes, Sir," Soarin replied "Affirmative," Rainbow answered "Okay Everypony let's go." Big Mac said In this battle pretty much everything went after plan. After pretty much a couple of minutes... "Big Mac we just cut though they're defence and now moving in from behind," Flettfor said "Affirmative, as soon you're done with the west side I want you guys to go and rush the center," Big Mac replied "Yes Sir," Fleetfoot replied sometimes the enemy received reinforcements but only small troops, although they had a pretty hard defence, but we got the town at dawn. "Spitfire I see a platoon of light tanks coming coming your way" Soarin warned "Okay thanks," Spitfire replied We later received intel that the Germans send troops out to stop a big force coming our way that could have been the cause why the russian have only gotten so little reinforcements anyway, they were successful and they even pushed them back, And currently holding their positions and waiting for us. We stayed at the town for the night The Next morning Today we had a quick commander briefing "Okay everypony, today we will move straight though the night, halfway to Kaligriff Some german companies are waiting, to support us on the attack." Big Mac said "So they recovered?" Rainbow asked "Indeed they did, and they are angry, and want revenge for the attack on their homeland." Big Mac replied "Okay, so what's the company lead?" Rainbow asked "Same as yesterday." Big Mac answered "Okay." Rainbow replied "Okay, now officially Operation: Shut Down has begun, any other questions?... none good, let's get moving." Big Mac said With that we began to move to Kaligriff 1 Hour Later "Damit..." Rainbow said "What?" Soarin asked "I forgot to let me get checked from the doc..." Rainbow replied "That ain't a big problem." Soarin replied "I know, but I have headaches." Rainbow complained "I got some pain killers here." Soarin answered "Can I have those?" Rainbow asked "If you couldn't them, I wouldn't have told you about them *Chuckle*" Soarin answered "*Chuckle* Makes sense." Rainbow replied "Here you go." Soarin said "Thanks." Rainbow replied "But please, leave some we don't..." Soarin began before cutting himself off But it was already too late, Rainbow already swallowed them. "Ehh... Sorry..." Rainbow said "*Sigh* no problem, we got one more pack in the bags on the turret." Soarin replied "I will get them..." Rainbow answered "No Dashie don't..." Soarin replied before soarin could finish his sentence Rainbow was already outside and getting the painkillers. "Dashie, come back in!" Soarin exclaimed "Jeez, just wait a second." Rainbow replied "Hmm, she can walk better again, at least something," Soarin thought The tank was probably driving 20 miles per hour and was rumbling pretty hard, Rainbow still didn't care, she went over to the equipment got the painkillers out and got back in. "There you go," Rainbow said "Thanks..." Soarin replied "No Problem... ugh... my head still kills me... I'm gonna go sleep, good night." Rainbow replied "Night." Soarin answered "A couple" of hours later "*Yawn*" (by Rainbow) "Good Morning." Soarin said "Morning?... and why are you driving?" Rainbow asked "You slept straight though the rest of the day and though the night." Soarin answered "I wha... What time is it?" Rainbow asked "Right after noon, we will get to the Germans in about 10 hours." Soarin replied "Soarin... you look tired, maybe I should drive." Rainbow Said "Nah I'm good." Soarin replied "You can barely keep your eyes open." Rainbow replied "Okay, you can drive, but how are we supposed to swap places?" Soarin asked "How did you change places with the other soldier?" Rainbow asked "Well the whole army had a fast stop for everypony to get new food and water, That's why we were able to swap places." Soarin answered "Hmmm. I got an idea." Rainbow replied "Dashie, what are you...?" Soarin begann only to get cut off "Changing position with you." Rainbow replied they went through several awkward positions, till finally it worked and Rainbow was driving. "Finally, Okay Night then." Soarin said "Goodnight." Rainbow replied The Next Day "*Yawn*" (by Soarin) "Ohh wow, thought you would never wake up *Chuckle*" Rainbow said "huh, What do you mean?" Soarin asked "We past the germans a couple of hours ago." Rainbow replied "What? that means it's..." Soarin got cut off "Heres Big Mac, the Plan goes followed." Big Mac begann "Fleetfoot, you go around left this time and fell into they're backs." He said "Yes, Sir." Fleetfoot replied "Twilight, takes west again." He continued "Affirmative." Twilight answered "Spitfire, you take east" Big Mac said "Yes Sir." Spitfire answered "But this time, Soarin and Dash, you got Charlie Company, And will attack the center with me," Big Mac said "Yes sir." Soarin replied "Affirmative." Rainbow answered "Sierra, you will watch for enemy reinforcements." Big Mac said "Yes, Sir." Sierra replied "Okay everypony, Charge." Big Mac ordered With those words the hardest fight in the war began or so we thought. The russian had build a defence that is almost unbreakable... we only had to break though a small part, and the defence would collapse. But even that seemed impossible, we already fought for hours and lost not a little number of soldiers. "Soarin I'm done with this, either we break though now or never." Rainbow stated "Yea I know but what are we supposed to do?" Soarin asked "As soon we do something the company will follow, so let's just charge in." Rainbow answered "Dash we can't... we will lose too many soldiers" Soarin replied "Soarin either way we will lose soldiers, we may even lose more if we fight like this." Rainbow replied "Yeah... Your right, okay let's just do it. Driver you heard her full speed!" Soarin answered "Yes Sir." The driver replied With that they charged in, the whole company followed in seconds "Soarin, what are you doing?" Big Mac asked "We are sitting ducks here, we need to break through!" Rainbow replied "You could have at least told us..." Big Mac a little annoyed annoyed "Told you Dashie." Soarin replied "Ugh, Shut up." Rainbow replied The russian didn't expect that, we overrun them in a couple of minutes, and were behind they're lines. "Soarin your company keeps going, try to reach the enemy's HQ and destroy it, that should break them." Big Mac said "Affirmative." Soarin replied We kept going, everything in our path didn't stand a chance, we arrived at the enemys HQ in less than a couple of minutes We then blew it up, but something completely different happend. The russians still fought like nothing happend, it's like... Meanwhile in Big Mac's tank "Sir sierra here, we just spotted a large number of enemy battalions" Sierra said "From were are they coming?" Big Mac asked "North-West sir." Sierra answered "How many?" Big Mac asked "About 4 till 6 regiments. I would say it's the main force" Sierra replied "Where are they heading?" Big Mac asked "Town center Sir." Sierra replied "Town center... that means..." Big mac cut himself off Back in Soarin and Dash's tank "Soarin here is Big Mac, The russian main force comes your way, dig in and hold them off, we will clean the rest of the defence, and then come to support you." Big Mac said "Affirmative, From were are they moving in and how big are they?" Soarin asked "North-West, And something around 4 till 6 regiments." Big Mac answered "What?! *Sigh*, Okay digging in now." Soarin answered the charlie company digged themselves in and waited for the attack. 20 Minutes later "There they are!" Rainbow exclaimed there was once perfect synced salvo (you could only hear 1 shot go off) and pretty much the first two battalion that moved in got decimated. "That's what I'm talking about!" Soarin shouted "Don't get carried away..." Rainbow replied calmly "Right..." Soarin replied and rolled his eyes "But it was awesome though *Chuckle*." Rainbow answered There were about 2 more salvos perfectly synced, but soon everything just shot random. "Big Mac here, we just cleaned up everything, coming in to support you now." Big Mac said "Hurry up, we can't hold on forever." Rainbow replied "Well be there in several minutes." Big Mac answered Neither shooting or the Explosions died down, there was always something. "Come on wen can't keep going like this," Rainbow exclaimed "We just have to hold it for a little bit," Soarin replied "Finally, there's Alpha." Rainbow said "where's Bravo and Foxtrot?" Soarin asked "I don't know... hey theres Big Mac tank. Hey Big Mac!" Rainbow shouted "Aghh, My head," Rainbow said while putting a hoof to her head "Yea?" Big Mac asked "where's the rest?" Soarin asked "They went around and will come from behind." Big Mac replied "Okay." Soarin replied With that Big Mac began to charge again "Dashie you got headaches again?" Soarin asked "Yea..." Rainbow replied "Come on got over here," Soarin replied It took us several minutes to take them out like this. Soon, everything went quiet... or so we thought. Later that day we received intel that the Chinese [Hippogriffs] joined an alliance with the russians. They only had a small land but many soldiers... enough to easily overrun us.
Chapter 5Chapter 5 "Okay everypony we need to Split up, some companies will go North-East and attacks the last Russian Fort, and the rest will counter attack." Big Mac said "Who should go where?" Rainbow asked "Well, where do you think the companies should go?" Big Mac asked "Hmm... Okay let me think." Rainbow replied "Alpha has much armor, Bravo has more mobile infantry and only little armor, Charlie got both, Delta is the elite toop, Foxtrot got only mobile infantry, and Sierra pretty much only got light and fast things... so perfect to spot for Yankee-Five... Rainbow thought" She thought "hmm... I would say Alpha goes into counter attack with charlie, Delta, Foxtrot, Bravo, Sierra, and Yankee-Five go attack the last fort..." Rainbow said "Okay, and who leads which company?" Big Mac asked "Big Mac: alpha, Spitfire: Bravo, Soarin: Charlie, Twilight: Delta, Fleetfoot: Foxtrot, Lighting Dust: Sierra and Yankee-Five." Rainbow replied "And you?" Soarin asked "You really have to ask?" Rainbow replied "So you with me then?" Soarin answered "Yep." Rainbow replied "Okay." Soarin replied "Now everypony, Operation: Rolling Thunder, starts now." Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am." Replied everypony With that everypony gathered they're gear and moved out, except for Alpha and Charlie. Because they first needed to get some reinforcements. 5 Minutes later in soarin's tank. "Sir send everything you got in equestria, and send it to albay to attack the chinese ground, we will hold them of in the North-East, we will push them back and do a counter attack." Rainbow said "Affirmative." The General answered "And Sir if you got 1 or 2 ships battleships, I want you to send them to asgard." Rainbow added She changed to the German channel "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, a large Chinese force is on the way to Kaligriff, We need reinforcements if we want to stop them." Rainbow said "Affirmative Colonel, sending out some battalions, But it will take some days." The commander answered "Commander no disrespect but we will need them latest tomorrow." Rainbow replied "I will see what I can do, but it isn't much I'm afraid. We could fly the light stuff over they should be there at 0900, but the Heavy armor needs 3 days to get to you." The Commander replied "Let's hope we still stand then." Rainbow answered "Good luck Ma'am." The Commander replied Rainbow got out of the tank and went over to Soarin and Big Mac "Light reinforcements will come in tomorrow at 0900." Rainbow told them "And the Heavy stuff?" Soarin asked "3 Days..." Rainbow replied "3 Days that will be to late!" Big Mac said "No it won't, Because I ordered the general to use all the available units in equestria and attack china from the North-East, that should force the chinese to split they're forces, in the meanwhile we defend here until the reinforcements arrive." Rainbow answered "That should help." Soarin replied "As soon as the reinforcements arrive we will counter attack and throw them back." Rainbow added "That's a pretty good plan, I think your getting into it again." Soarin replied "Okay everypony enough talking, Let's get ready and dig in." Rainbow answered The infantry set up sandbags, Mines and found good anti-tank positions, while the tanks positioned themselves to cover the streets The next day "Dash, my scouts just spotted the Chinese force, they will be here in about half an hour." Big Mac said "Okay everypony get ready." Rainbow answered The chinese force advanced at full speed, But as soon they hit our defence they got stopped in a instant, That first wave was pretty much the hardest, we only lost a quiet a few Tanks and Soldiers. "Big Mac, I just got informed that a platoon of Self-propelled artillery is ready and is standing by to support us when needed, If you got units you can't handle tell me the position and what and what type of unit, and I radio it over, Rainbow said "Affirmative," Big Mac answered some minutes later "Dash I need support against Heavy Tanks on coordinates: D13 and D14 Big Mac ordered "Affirmative, Radioing it over now," Rainbow answered A couple of seconds later, A Heavy artillery barrage began to rain down onto them "Perfect artillery hit, keep those coordinates coming." A observer said "Got medium armor on coordinates: C16," Big Mac said "Okay. Rainbow replied But this time, some of the medium tanks moved, only about 2 or 3 kept standing there. "Only minimal damage, better coordinates please, The observer said we were still outnumbered 10:1, And still they didn't got through, already in the first wave we took out we took out several companies, And still they came at us with the same amount of strength. It felt like a never ending wave. "This isn't normal anymore! Big Mac exclaimed "I know, but we can't fallback, If we do whole Equestria will fall before we know it," Rainbow answered "I know..., but how are we supposed to hold off a force like that, for 2 whole days?" Big Mac asked "I don't know... but we have to," Rainbow answered "Ma'am, the chinese force is falling back! one of the soliders exclaimed Finally at the end of the day the chinese force stopped they're attack, and retreated. "Okay everypony, regroup and get defensive positions up again." Rainbow said We tried to get some defences up again, we were so close to get overrun. But we stood our ground and won... at least for today The Next Day We had sentries up all night to warn us against a suprise attack, but there were none. "hmm, That's strange, No attacks at night...," Rainbow thought out loud "Dash we have to get ready, I'm sure they will attack soon," Big Mac said "Right," Rainbow answered But as the day proceed, We pretty much the only thing saw were some scouts, only several small attacks occurred, but nothing serious. Till now "What is this, that ain't attacking," Big Mac exclaimed "Hmm, I would say they are just testing us...," Soarin answered "Maybe" Big Mac replied The end of the day was close "I would say they won't attack today," Big Mac figured "Well let's hope for that, We will set up some sentries tonight again..., Platoon one, you have the first watch," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative, Ma'am One of the soldiers replied The Next Day Soarin and I walked around, looking how our soldier were positioned. "What happend yesterday?" Soarin asked "Nothing happend, Soarin." Rainbow answered "Yea that's it, why didn't anything happen?" Soarin replied "I don't know, maybe they waited for an opportunity to suprise us, or they are waiting for reinforcements," Rainbow answered "Why would they need more reinforcements? They already outnumber us 10:1," Soarin replied "I don't know and I don't care, Because it's they're loss, Today our reinforcements will arrive, and then we..." Rainbow cut herself off "And we what?" Soarin asked "Soarin, get down," Rainbow said "What?" Soarin asked "DOWN!" Rainbow shouted Soarin didn't got it, until seconds later a shot exploded only 10 metres away from him "Holy Fuck!" He exclaimed The chinese launched one big assault trying to get us out of town. "Damit, suprise attack! Rainbow exclaimed "You there soldier! Radio Big Mac the chinese are attacking!" Soarin shouted "Yes Sir," The soldier shouted back We tried to get back to our tank. "Come on Soarin don't stop!" Rainbow exclaimed "I wouldn't even think about it," Soarin replied We finally made it, Big Mac was already there and fighting back. As soon as we were back in our tank... "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, we need Artillery support on coordinates: B3-5 and C6-7, C13-15 and B9-11, Radioed Rainbow to the Artillery platoon "Affirmative firing for effect," The Soldier replied The artillery came in a little bit to late, most of the Chinese force already made it into the town. And with that the hit wasn't as devastating as hoped, but it did some damage "Damit they are in the town, Come on everypony we have to fight back," Rainbow said "Here is Big Mac, we can't stand that much more!" Rainbow Mac exclaimed "Try to hold them off as long as you can," Rainbow answered For every tank, jeep or soldier that attacked we were pushed back another inch, Before we knew we were at the town center, surrounded. "Gunner, 10 o'clock!" Soarin shouted "Big Mac, you take the right side and my Company the left side!" Rainbow ordered "Affirmative," Big Mac answered We had the better positions, but they had the numbers, We fought for hours losing quiet a few soldiers, but they still didn't broke us. "Come on we, don't give up!" Rainbow shouted "Dash, we can't hold on much longer!" Big Mac exclaimed "Okay, we are going to stand in a circle, Infantry and Light armor inside and giving fire support, while the Tanks take the fire! Rainbow ordered "Affirmative," Big Mac answered Finally after a few hours of struggling to keep the town, the reinforcements arrived, And Big Mac was right, the Germans were pissed..., Before the Chinese force knew, they were outnumbered 3:1 "Here's Commander Easyglider I heard you need support?" The commander asked jokingly "Bless you for coming Commander, We are pinned in the Center and could use some help!" Rainbow answered "Affirmative moving in now, The commander replied The Germans rushed into the the town and soon everything that the Chinese force conquered in hours, we took back in a time of minutes. The Chinese force was forced to retreat. On their retreat they sometimes tried to build defences to slow us down... But we advanced faster than they retreated. "If this is going like this the war is won in no time." Rainbow said "Ma'am if we keep this up we will outrun our supply line." The Commander answered "Well let's try to push them back as far as we can" Rainbow replied "Affirmative." The Commander replied We just drove and drove, though their desperate defences and straight though the night. The Next Day "Ma'am we outrun our Supply line." The Commander said "Affirmative, set up some defences here, till they caught up with us." Rainbow replied It took us nearly 3 days to get a stable supply line, for 3 days the Chinese were able to fortify their position. As soon we get resupplied we were off again "Damit, 3 fucking days!" Rainbow exclaimed "What do you mean?" The commander asked "The Chinese force now had 3 days to set up and fortify their postions" Rainbow answered "That shouldn't be a problem though," The commander replied "I hope so..., Rainbow replied A couple of hours later "Hmm... They have fortified themselves pretty heavy." Rainbow said "They got some support too, we don't outnumber them that much anymore..." The Commander added "If I'm not wrong we still outnumber them 2:1." Big Mac figured "That should be enough to break though." Soarin said "We don't know if they have more troops in the woods waiting to ambush us." Rainbow replied "Well theres only 1 way to find out Colonel." The Commander answered "I know, I still got a bad feeling about this. Let me do something first, than we can go." Rainbow replied "That's the spirit." The Commander replied In Rainbow & Soarin's Tank "HQ here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, Send Hotel-Six-Niner with about 3 Platoons of heavy choppers to our position, and send some Napalm strikes onto coordinates: C2-3 till L2-3 and C16-17 till L16-17 and send some anti-tank strikes with a 15 or 20 second delay after them," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative, sending them out now. But it will take a few minutes," The soldier answered "Understood," Rainbow replied "What are you doing Dash?!" Soarin exclaimed "Trust me, I don't think we saw all of them till now." Rainbow answered "Hmm... Point" Soarin replied "Just like that?" Rainbow asked "What?" Soarin asked back "I would've... Nevermind, Now we can charge," Rainbow replied "Okay we're all set," Rainbow radioed to the commander "Okay then, let's go." The commander replied And so we began to move. We charged sometimes left or right 1 or 2 tanks or truck exploded, but we didn't slow down "Okay guys we nearly got them, but why aren't they falling back...," Rainbow asked "I don't know, maybe they want to die," The Commander suggested "Or maybe..." Rainbow got cut off The Napalm bomber arrived and dropped they're load, What came after, no one expected. "I... Knew it," Rainbow said The rest of the chinese force hid in the Forest, waiting to ambush us. "The force is bigger than I expected...," Rainbow said "Looks like now we are the ones who are outnumbered...," The Commander replied
Chapter 6Chapter 6 We stood there looking like fools, we were outnumbered a little, We had about 3 companies less than them, it wasn't much, but still, That could be our doom. We only had a couple of seconds "What now Colonel?," asked the Commander a little nervous I was still stunned, I didn't thought the chinese would send that much support. As soon I got a hold of myself, I thought about a plan and then it made click in my head W-we are going to take defencive positions, and then... Before Rainbow could finish... The Chinese force began to charge, but before they could do anything, something that no one expected happend , Some of they're tanks just blew up, we didn't knew why until, the Anti-Tank jets flew over us, and right after them came Hotel-Six-Niner already continuing to shred apart they're tanks. Before we knew it, the chinese had 2 Battalions less. "I totally forgot them...," Rainbow said "Who?" the commander asked "Hotel-Six-Niner," Rainbow replied "Ma'am, no disrespect but could you move your flank?" Hotel-Six-Niner interrupted "Right. Okay everypony, CHARGE!" Rainbow replied The chinese force didn't slow down, they just continued to charge at us, but we did the same. The sounds of shoots traded and explosions never died down, but we did something the chinese didn't. "Here's Rainbow to all members of charlie company, we are going to defend the infantry," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Some soldiers replied Our company stood like a circle nearly in the middle of the battlefield, a couple of infantry companies now stood behind our tanks and stood on they're jeeps to shoot over our tanks sometimes with RPGs but most of the time with Javelins. "This is working better than expected" Rainbow thought "Rainbow to every light vehicle, you guys go and take out the chinese infantry," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative Ma'am," A soldier answered The battle raged on for nearly an hour the chinese tooked big loses but so did we... "There, they're running again!" The Commander exclaimed "Okay, Everypony knows what to do?... Good, then let's go." Rainbow replied Everypony began to charge after them, But this the the chinese didn't try to put up defences, they just keep retreating "Okay everypony, slow down we will camp here for the night," Rainbow said "We can't slow down, we have to keep moving," The Commander exclaimed "No disrespect sir, but do you really you want to charge the chinese with only a half awake army?" Soarin asked "Point." Replied the Commander Everypony camped were they stopped, We didn't had sentries up this night, because the Chinese were on retreat. A couple of hours later "Okay, is everypony ready?" The Commander asked "Yes, we are." Rainbow answered with a yawn "Okay then let's go," Replied the Commander We began to move again, The second group told us that they just captured the lst russian fort and now made they're way to us. We still had to drive about half of the day so not much happend. As we closed in on the chinese defence line we met Bravo, Echo, etc. We began to plan the attack. "Okay guys, We outnumber them 2 nearly 3:1 but that has to say nothing, So here's the plan: Commander and Twilight you attack from the left side, Big Mac and Spitfire and you take the center, Soarin you and me are going to take the right side, And Lighting Dust you take a small scout squad and spot for Yankee-Five your priority is to suppress the Chinese force," Rainbow ordered "Dash what is about the forest, maybe they have an ambush force in there again," Soarin figured "Nah, I think they learned from the last time they tried this and even when we got some extra companies standing by and Twilight will lead them, Now let's go!" Rainbow answered "Yes Ma'am, *salute*" everypony replied and then went off to take their positions A couple of minutes later "Is everypony ready?" Rainbow asked "Eeyup," Big Mac answered "Okay, Yankee-Five you know what to do," Rainbow replied "Yes Ma'am," A pony replied Everything was quiet for a couple of seconds... Until the barrage from Yankee-Five began to explode. It was a very heavy barrage and lastetd around 1 minute, as soon as it was over we began to charge, Some artillery shots came in but not from us. "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash we need carpet bombing onto the hills on coordinates: B-H 3,4 and 5," Rainbow radioed to the air force "Affirmative Ma'am, Eta: 10 Minutes," A pony replied "Okay Everypony, That artillery will continue to rain down onto us for about 10 minutes, but don't let that stop you," Rainbow informed We fought for about 10 till 20 minutes already, The Chinese artillery got destroyed ages ago, but the Chinese still had a pretty tough defence, but we pushed them back eventually, It was slow but it was better than nothing, We lost Soldiers in pretty high numbers, Then something happend we totally didn't planned for. "Dash something is coming in from the forest, I can see trees falling, Looks like they are coming in from behind you," Lightning Dust informed "Affirmative, Good Eye," Rainbow replied "Okay, everypony looks like the chinese have an ambush in the forest, My company will engage them, Big Mac you take... our..." Rainbow stopped talking "Uhmm? Dash?," Big Mac asked "That ain't Chinese tanks! Rainbow shouted "What are you talking about?" Big Mac asked confused "T-these are, Russians!" Rainbow exclaimed "What?! That's impossible, we...," Big Mac began before getting cut off "Twi, you attack the Russians from the right, Big Mac you get your fank over here and support us too. Spitfire, Commander, Fleetfoot you have to attack alone," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am" Everypony replied Twilight moved in with about 2 armored battalions and a platoon of Heavy attack choppers and Big Mac with nearly a whole regiment. And we still weren't able to stand or ground. The fight lasted about 5 or 10 minutes and we already lost nearly 3 battalions. "Okay guys, this is pointless, We will fallback, Commander, Spitfire, Fleetfoot you first and try to get up some defences about 1 or 2 miles from here and try to get some reinforcements in!" Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," They answered I gave them about 5 minutes, Then I sended back Big Mac and last was Twilight. Now it was only my company. Meanwhile "Sir minimal defences are up," A pony said "Okay, Everypony get into position!" The Commander exclaimed A couple of minutes later "There something is coming!" A pony exclaimed "Don't shot that's our guys," The commander replied Big Mac came in a minute later Twilight and then... nothing. "Hey where's Dash?" Spitfire asked "We don't know she told us to retreat but...," Twilight began before getting cut off "Something is incoming!" The pony exclaimed again "Yes we all see that private," Big Mac answered A company closed in onto them. "That's Dash's Company!" Twilight exclaimed "Eeyup," Big Mac replied But instead of the big battalion that they saw earlier only a couple of platoons returned. And no sight of Dash or Soarin. "Hey you there!" Twilight shouted "Yes, Ma'am?" The pony asked "Where's Rainbow Dash and Soarin?" Twilight asked "She told us to retreat and the last thing I saw was, that her tank got tracked and they stucked there, But although she told us to keep going," The Pony replied "So you're telling me she's...," Twilight stopped "Ma'am before I forget she told me something: Gray Ghost. She said you know what it means," The Pony added "You there I need a Radio, NOW!" Big Mac shouted "Yes, Sir," The pony answered After a couple of seconds he returned with a ham radio "Here is Captain Big Macintosh, Operation: Gray Ghost has started, We need reinforcements right now!" Big Mac said "That is a high Operation I need the passwort to be sure it's from high rank," A pony answered "Ohh Ma'am, she also told me something like Redemption or so, She also told me it has several meanings" The Pony from before shouted "Who is she?" The Pony from the HQ asked over the Ham Radio "Colonel Rainbow Dash, Sir," The Pony answered "Affirmative, That's correct, So now what do you need?" The Pony asked "We could need some reinforcements," Big Mac said "No Shit, you said that earlier, but what kind of reinforcements?" The Pony replied "A couple of Heavy armor battalions, some Medium and Light armor and some artillery," Big Mac replied "Affirmative, What's ypur position?" The Pony asked "We were on the assault on china from the North-East but retreated 1,5 Miles to the South-East," Big Mac replied "Affirmative, Reinforcements will be by you tomorrow evening," The Pony replied "Roger and Out," Big Mac replied, "Okay, everypony let's get up some more defences so the Russians don't suprise us," Big Mac ordered, "Yes, Sir," Everypony replied They set up Sandbags and some mines, The tanks where the Wall. But they didn't stay up all night, They had some sentries up to warn them. The Next day, In the evening "There the reinforcements are coming in!" Big Mac shouted A Wing (Air division, Group however you wanna call them) of Transport carriers defended by some Jets, dropped of about 200 till 300 hundred Soldiers, nearly 4 Heavy tank battalions, 3 Medium tank battalions, and 1 Light vehicle battalion, and an Heavy Artillery platoon. The reinforcements landed on the ground and a couple of Minutes later about 2 till 3 Heavy attack chopper platoons flew in too. "What a sight...," Twilight said astonished "Okay Everypony, We will move out in a couple of hours, so get some sleep or something till then," Big Mac shouted While most ponies went to sleep the new arrived reinforcements didn't, And held the first watch. "Ah can't believe it," Applejack mumbled "What do you mean?" Twilight asked "Rainbow," Applejack answered "Hey, do you remember what that Soldier said? With that Passwort I mean," Twilight asked "Yea he said somethin' like: She told me Redemption, but it has several... meanings..."Applejack stopped for a moment and thought "Ya mean?" Applejack asked "Yep, exactly," Twilight answered
Chapter 6.5 [Meanwhile by Soarin and Rainbow Dash]Chapter 6.5 Time: The retreat from the attack. "Okay Commander, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, you fallback first," Rainbow ordered, I gave them 5 minutes until I sended Big Mac and 2 minutes after him Twilight. I already lost several platoons and finally gave order to retreat. "Okay, Everypony we are falling back now," Rainbow ordered We tried to fallback as fast as we could, but I knew the russians would follow us. "Driver, we have make it look like we got tracked, and as soon as the rest of the platoon are out of sight, we are going to distract the russians," Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am," The Driver replied The driver was very good it looked perfect... and even felt perfect. "Attention, Commander tank tracked!" A Pony exclaimed "You guys keep going, But I want you to tell Big Mac 2 things, First: Gray Ghost and Second: Redemption, but it has several meaning," Rainbow said "Yes. Ma'am," A Pony answered The platoons began to drive again, and as soon as they where out of sight. "Okay, they are out now, Let's go!" Rainbow exclaimed We tried to distract them and it worked for a couple of minutes, The Driver learned much, He Dodged the tank shells even with style, The Gunner hitted nearly every shot, Soarin gave perfect commander order, And I gave very good artillery coordinates. But even the best tank team ever can't hold this up forever, For 1 second no attention was given and and Bam! Engine knocked out, We got out of the tank, But the russians already had us surrounded. And we surrendered, The russians brought us to a small prison camp, in a small village 7 or 8 miles away fom here. As we arrived there they threw us into a cell. "And now?" Soarin asked "Now?, We are going to wait it's only a question of time, Until Big Mac gets it," Rainbow answered "Hmm, well your right," Soarin replied We waited there doing nothing. The Next day It was something arround noon. Soarin and I woke up to a cell door opening, A Griffin signed Soarin to come with them, Soarin stood up and began to walk to them, I walked infront of him. "Either me or none of us," Rainbow said "Dash, it's okay just," Before Soarin could finish Rainbow shot him a glare, "If you insist," One of the Griffins said I walked over to them, and they closed the cell door, and began to make their way. We arrived in a small room and they handcuffed me to a chair. Another griffin walked in. He looked at me and began to ask questions. "What are you plans?" The Griffin asked "...," No reply "I ask again, What are your plans?" The Griffin asked again "...," Still no reply "Okay, that's it," The Griffin said Before I knew it a pretty nasty punshed hit me against the snout. My snout began to bleed and I tasted blood in my mouth too. "Now tell me!" The griffin demanded Rainbows reaction: She spitted blood on the ground and nothing more, "Ohh, So you are a hard one, eh?" The griffin asked "...," No reply "Well if it's like this," The griffin said For every question he asked for every no reply I gave I got 3 punches. This lastet for about 10 till 20 minutes I had a black eye, bruises everywhere and I think at the end there I heared some ribs cracking, and I guarantee I got a concussion...again. But finally. "Okay, That's enough bring her back into the cell! And get that other pony in here!" The Griffin ordered "Dare to touch him, and I kill you," Was my first reply to him till now "Ohh, so you do can speak," The griffin replied "Yea, and I say again touch him and your dead," I answered "Well, you ell me about your plans and I won't touch him," The griffin replied "*Sigh*, Okay, This operation i have is called: Rolling Thunder. We are supposed to attack the chinese force push them back and claim china to end this damn war," I answered "was that so hard?" The griffin asked "Get her back into the cell!" The griffin demanded They carried me back to the cell, and threw me in again. "Dash!" Soarin exclaimed "Dad?" I asked "What? No, it's me Soarin!" He replied worried "i knew that *Chuckle*," I replied before I blacked out. Time: Future I woke up to explosion and Shooting, The next thing I know is that a Squad off very familiar Ponies open the cell door and carried me out.
Chapter 7Chapter 7 Time: A several hours before the rescue of Dash and Soarin "Big Mac!" Twilight shouted "Eeyup?" Big Mac asked "Dash ain't dead," Applejack said "What?" Big Mac asked confused "You remeber, that pony said Redemption with several meanings," Twilight answered "Ya mean?" Big Mac asked "Yes, Dash and Soarin are still alive, probably captured but alive," Twilight answered "If your right, then we need to find them," Big Mac answered "Didn't I just say that?" Twilight asked "You there! Get a platoon of choppers ready and scout everything around 15 miles from here!" Big Mac ordered "Yes Sire, but that will take some time," The Pony replied "I know, now go!" Big Mac answered They waited for a report from the scout team. Arround 2 till 3 hours later "Sir, we found a Russian prison camp in a small village in the North-East it's about 8 miles away from the last attack," A Scout informed "Affirmative, Comeback and get your guns back on the choppers," Big Mac replied "Yes Sir," The pony replied They waited till the choppers got back, They remounted the weapons and The whole army began to move to that small prison camp, it took them several hours because they had to go all around the chinese defence, it took them 2 till 3 hours until they arrived there "Okay everypony, The russians have about 4 battalions down there, we outnumber them something around 10:1, so let's just charge in" Big Mac said "Affirmative," The Commander answered Before the russians knew what hit them half of the camp was already overrolled, Still they were able to send out a help message. "Come on everypony, we have to sweep those houses and get away here, The russian force is guaranteed already on it's way," Big Mac ordered They went through several houses, but nothing, they walked into the last house. "Squad one you go right, My squad goes left," Big Mac said "Yes Sir," A pony replied "Guys we are here!" A voice shouted They ran after the voice and... "Holy...," Big Mac exclaimed, Several gasps right after. I was pretty much covered in blood everywhere, I was barely conscious "Is she ok?!" Twilight asked "Mom?" Rainbow asked "Ehmm...," Twilight didn't know how to respond "Yea my reaction exactly as she ask me if I was her Dad," Soarin replied "No wait... Twi? Did they got you too?" Rainbow asked "No time to explain, we need to get moving," Big Mac interfered "We have to get her out of here and some medical care," Soarin shouted "Right," Everypony agreed Soarin sat me onto his back while the other made sure I don't fall down, They carried me to a troop transporter, they sat me down and everypony except of Soarin got back to their tanks. Okay everypony, we got her let's get out of here!" Big Mac shouted We began to make our way back. "Dash how do you feel?" Soarin asked "Well, I feel great you know" Rainbow answered sarcastic "No, really Dash, how do you feel?" Soarin asked serious "Well, not so bad as I thought I would," Rainbow answered "...," No answer "Soarin I'm getting tired goodnight" Rainbow said "Night," Soarin answered I went to sleep again, but before I was gone I felt Soarin giving me a kiss on the cheek, just before I blacked out A Couple of hours later. "How is she doc?" Soarin asked "She lost much blood, got 3 broken ribs and a severe concussion, But she is stable," The medic answered "Do you have any idea when she wakes up?" Soarin asked "It's different, Sometimes they wake up the next day and sometimes they wake up after days" The medic answered "Okay, If she wakes up please tell me doc," Soarin replied "Okay," The medic answered Soarin walked out of the tent, and walked over to a group of ponies in a cricle talking with each other, as one of them saw Soarin walking to them , they stopped talking and turned to him. "And how is she?" Big Mac asked "She is stable," Soarin answered "Thanks Celestia," Most of them replied, the other just had a sigh of relief "Guys I'm gonna go sleep was a hard day for me," Soarin said "Okay, goodnight," They replied 2 Days later Soarin was now everyday by Rainbows side "ughh" Rainbow groaned "Dash?" Soarin asked "Huh? Wha?" Rainbow asked sore "Finally your awake," Soarin said "What do you mean? how long was I out?" Rainbow asked "About 2 till 3 days," Soarin answered "What?" Rainbow asked as she shot up from the bed "Yea, you were out nearly 3 days, We didn't attack since our rescue, But we are going to have a Commander meeting tomorrow evening," Soarin answered "Rainbow, I'm sorry but I need to get going," Soarin added "Okay," Rainbow answered The Next day. It was near evening once again, and the Commanders began to meet around a map, It took several minutes for everypony to meet there "Okay, now that everypony is here we can begin to plan," Big Mac said "So, We are going to attack directly like last time, But this time we are..." Big Mac began "Sorry everypony, What did I miss," A familiar voice asked "Dash?!" Soarin exclaimed "Yea? Why are you surprised to see me?" Rainbow asked "You shouldn't stand up... nor walk around," Soarin answered "You think a concussion is going to hinder me?" Rainbow asked "Well actually," Soarin began "Nevermind, Fill me in, Rainbow cut off "Okay, now from the beginning," Big Mac answered "We are going to attack directly like last time, But this time Charlie Alpha and Echo are going right, Foxtrot left and Delta center," Big Mac said "Sounds good but, what is if the Russians got a ambush in the forest?" Rainbow asked "For that we got 3 Battalions down there this time," Big Mac explained "Hmm, could I try once?" Rainbow asked "Sure go ahead" Big Mac asked "Okay, let's see," Rainbow began "Well, first of all what did we got?" Rainbow asked "Right, We got 2 regiments of armored units, a Company artillery with MLRS and Self-Propelled-artillery, a battalion light vehicles and 2 battalions mobile infantry, and 3 companies Heavy-Attack choppers, and Air force support," Big Mac answered "Okay...," Rainbow said and began to think "Okay I got an idea," Rainbow said "First thing is a Napalm attack on the forest, then Heavy armor and Infantry direct attack, Medium and Light armor though the forest and surprise attack from right, the Choppers fly up the Mountains and attack from the Left side, The MLRS are going to destroy the buildings and then we push them back," Rainbow suggested Everypony was stunned, and no pony replied until Soarin finally broke the silence "That's a very good plan Dash," Soarin answered "Thanks," Rainbow replied happily "Well, who leads what...?" Big Mac began "Same as always, With one exeption: I take Yankee-Five," Rainbow cut off "Okay and what company has what?" Big Mac asked "Right...," Rainbow replied and began to think again "Ehmm... Alpha and Charlie: take half and half of the Heavy and infantry, Delta: Medium armor, Echo: Light armor, Echo: Attack choppers, And Yankee-Five: MLRS and Self-Propelled-artillery," Rainbow answered "Okay, Understood," Big Mac answered "Rainbow I need word with you under for eyes," Soarin said "So, What is it?" Rainbow asked "Dashie, I told the doc that I would look after you," Soarin answered "Okay, that changes the plan...," Rainbow replied "Okay guys, Plan change: The Commander takes Charlie and Soarin takes Sierra with a couple of Medium tanks," Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am, *Salute*," Everypony replied "See, Done," Rainbow said to Soarin "I'm impressed," Soarin replied "What do you mean?" Rainbow asked "Having a Severe concussion and putting up a plan like this," Soarin answered "It's nothing, Oh and Soarin I need to give you something back," Rainbow replied "Yea and wha?" Soarin got cut of as Rainbow kissed him on the cheek "What was that for?" Soarin asked but didn't move an inch "Think I don't know you kissed me, Right before I blacked out?" Rainbow answered "Right...," Soarin replied getting a little bit red "Anyway, I need to get back," Rainbow said "Okay...," Soarin relied half dreaming
Chapter 8Chapter 8 As soon as we had the plan ready everypony prepared to move out, But we didn't move today. The Next Morning "Is everypony ready to move out?" Big Mac asked "Yea pretty much," Soarin answered "What does pretty much mean?" Big Mac asked "Rainbow ain't awake, but since we will stay back here... just tell me when your 10 minutes away," Soarin answered "Affirmative, Okay then everypony let's move out!" Big Mac said "Sir, I hope you know she shouldn't be doing this, She needs to rest," A medic said "I know but she's stubborn if she wants something truly she ain't going back," Soarin answered "I understand, But please try to give her as much rest as possible" The medic replied "Will do," Soarin answered A couple of hours later. "Here is Big Mac we are closing in, Get ready Soarin," Big Mac said "Affirmative," Soarin replied He went over into the tent where Rainbow slept. "Hey Dashie, Wake up," He said quiet as he shok her gently "uhh, 5 more minutes," Rainbow mumbled "Dashie either you wake up now or no more kisses," Soarin replied "Agh, I'm awake" Rainbow shouted "*Chuckle* Now get your flank out of the bed," Soarin replied "And my kiss?" Rainbow asked "After you got yourself into your clothes and stay outside by the MLRS," Soarin replied as he walked out of the tent "Ohh, Alright," Rainbow answered 2 Minutes Later "I'm here," Rainbow said "AGH! t-that was fast," Soarin replied "I know," Rainbow answered with a chuckle "Well like I promised," Soarin said and gave Rainbow a kiss on the cheek "Okay let's get to work," Rainbow said while she blushed "Okay we are ready," Soarin said "Affirmative, Standby to barrage them. And Dash call in that Napalm strike now" Big Mac answered "Affirmative," Rainbow replied She switched to the air force channel "Here is Colonel Rainbow Dash, We need a napalm strike onto coordinates: A-F13-18," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative Ma'am eta: 15 Minutes She switched back to the attack channel "Strike is incoming eta: 15 Minutes," Rainbow told the, "affirmative, as soon as we hear the napalm go off we will attack," Big Mac answered 15 Minutes later "Okay everypony charge! Big Mac shouted 40 seconds later "Okay, Dash MLRS strike onto coordinates: F11," Big Mac ordered "Affirmative," Rainbow replied She began to aim onto the coordinates and began shooting. a couple of seconds later "That one was off target Dash, Reload and again, they got heavy anti-tank positions up there," Big Mac replied "Dash normally never misses," Soarin thought 40 seconds later "Incoming," Rainbow warned Seconds later "What the hay Dash, that one was off target again," Big Mac now shouted "I-I'm sorry, I'm trying my best here, I'm gonna try one last time," Rainbow answered again 40 seconds later and... "Dash, what the heck is going on?" Big Mac shouted I-I don't know, does it miss to the left or to the right?" Rainbow asked "Left," Big Mac answered "Okay, that next one should hit," Rainbow replied 40 seconds later "That one was close, Big Mac replied "again left, when yes next one will definitely hit," Rainbow replied "Dash just stop, We will charge them," Big Mac answered "Okay...," Rainbow replied and let her ears fall back "Dash everything okay?" Soarin asked "Yea *sniff* yea I-I don't know what's wrong, It's perfectly positioned on the coordinates," Rainbow answered "Dash, it's half half," Soarin replied "What?" Rainbow asked confused "It's set between F10-11," Soarin answered "No it's definitely set on F11 is see it right here," Rainbow replied "No Dashie it isn't," Soarin answered "Hmm looks like with blurry vision you can't hit shit," She thought out loud "Soarin need a heavy artillery barrage on square: C8," Big Mac ordered "Affirmative," Soarin answered couple of seconds later "Good hit," Big Mac said The next 5 or 8 orders where all for Soarin and only heavy barrages "Big Mac, give Rainbow a try again," Soarin said "She miss shot 3 times Soarin," Big Mac answered "Trust me this time she will hit," Soarin reassured "If you say so, but only 1 try," Big Mac answered nearly a minute later. "Dash need a barrage on square: B8," Soarin ordered "Affirmative," Rainbow answered happily "Okay think if the aim from your sight is perfect it's only half on" Rainbow thought Instead of moving it on B8 she moved it between B8 and 9 and... "That was a perfect hit Dash, Good job" Big Mac said "Yes!" Rainbow shouted happily "Good job," Soarin said while smiling "Thanks!" Rainbow answered, she jumped at Soarin, Soarin got knocked of his hoofs by the force and she sat on top of him and cuddled with him Several seconds later. "Ma'am no disrespect but the Captain need another MLRS barrage," A soldier interrupted "Uhm, Yea hehe," Rainbow said as they blushed, She got of from Soarin and got back to the MLRS "Okay, I'm back, sorry," Rainbow apologised "Finally, what did you do, that you went away so quickly? Big Mac asked curious "I uhm... Cuddled with Soarin Rainbow replied "Uhm, Okayy... Anyway, we need a barrage on Square: B11," Big Mac answered "Affirmative," Rainbow answered Couple of seconds later. "Good hit, Okay everypony that's it we got the village, and the Chinese and the Russians are falling back Big Mac informed "And Soarin, I want that you and Dash take the rest of armored units you have and come here," Big Mac ordered "Big Mac no disrespect, But the doc said she should rest and do as less as she can," Soarin answered "Soarin you really think Dash is gonna sit around doing nothing?" Big Mac replied "Good point... Okay well be by you in a couple of minutes," Soarin answered "Dash we have to go to Big Mac," Soarin shouted "Yes! More action," Rainbow answered, Soarin just chuckled A couple of minutes later "Big Mac we are here," Soarin informed "Affirmative, Commander briefing in 5 minutes by me," Big Mac answered 5 Minutes Later by Big Mac's tank "Okay everypony, The Chinese and Russians got a second defence 4 clicks from here, The Chinese got triple A batteries against our choppers and there's only 1 attack route," Big Mac informed "Wrong," Rainbow interrupted "What?" Big Mac asked "The MLRS takes out that triple A and the choppers go over the right mountain and attack from there, Heavy armor forms the first main attack, 5 Minutes after the attack the rest of the army will come in and support them, And I'm sure the Russians will plan a "Surprise" Counter-Attack like always so be ready for that," Rainbow answered "Affirmative, Is the company lead same as before?" Big Mac asked "Nope, It's the old one again, So Soarin is in charge of charlie again," Rainbow replied "Affirmative, Now then you heard her, get ready!" Big Mac ordered With that we moved again, We didn't had a break or time to resupply, We needed to hit the Russian/Chinese defence while they setted up. It didn't even took 10 minutes to get there "Okay we are nearly there I'm gonna send the order," Rainbow informed Change to artillery platoon channel "Okay we need a MLRS barrage onto coordinates: B5," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative," A pony answered couple of seconds later "Perfect MLRS hit, Keep those coordinates coming," The observer said "Okay then, Charge!" Big Mac ordered We charged in and before the Russians/Chinese realised anything, they where surrounded. "Okay we got then, But don't let your guard down," Big Mac said "No counter-attack till now, that's odd," Rainbow answered "Maybe they ain't going to counter attack," Big Mac suggested "Maybe...," Rainbow figured It still took us over an hour to get them running, We went after them. We got intel that our friends in the South-West are nearly broken though. But we also received that the chinese are planning to send nukes against America and Germany. We began to push with all our force we where behind enemy lines cut off from heavy reinforcements all at ourselves again. We had a very quick commander briefing.
Chapter 9Chapter 9 "Okay Everypony, You all know the chinese want to launch nukes and we need to stop them," Rainbow said "Yes but what are we gonna do?" Big Mac asked "We are going to push with everything we got, We need to destroy that nuclear silo," Rainbow answered "Okay what's the situation?" Soarin asked "The silo is surrounded by mountains and they are fortified with triple A not even carpet bombing will do anything, They got a big ass wall covering the only entrance, It has 2 gates, our MLRS are to weak to destroy the wall, all in all they got a fortress that in nearly invulnerable," Rainbow answered "That doesn't sound so good," Soarin replied "I will order laser guided ballistic missiles against the wall, That should destroy it after that we will go in and..., yea and that's pretty much as far as I am," Rainbow figured "Before we attack what is with the defence?" Soarin asked "Oh yea, They got around 5 armored battalions, 4 infantry battalions and even a company attack choppers," Rainbow answered "Okay, now what's the attack plan for the units?" Soarin asked "I uh I...," Rainbow answered "You got none did you?" Soarin asked "...," No answer, Rainbow just looked away. "How about we just take the army and rush in?" Soarin suggested "Ya serious? That would kill tons of ponies, how about we split the forces?" Big Mac suggested "No we need a full scale attack, but the choppers will stay in support," Spitfire suggested "What do you mean Rainbow?" all 3 ponies asked at ones "*wince* I uhh...," Rainbow began, "Ya know the split up would be best," Big Mac cut off "You serious? you want to split our force so they have the number advantage?" Spitfire asked This went on for a couple of minutes. by now Rainbow was on the ground hooves on her ears to block their talking and had her eyes closed so she didn't needed to see them fighting. But she still heard everything. "SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!" Soarin shouted "What is your problem now?" both Big Mac and Spitfire asked "Just shut up and look at Rainbow she's done thanks to you," Soarin answered "*Sniff*" In reply from Rainbow "Hey Dashie get up," Soarin said "Eh, Sorry Dash," Spitfire and Big Mac said at the same time "No no, it's okay, but I think I got a plan," Rainbow answered "Really? tell us!" all three off them answered "*Wince* O-okay, T-the armored battalions w-will go per right gate, the choppers per left and the artillery is on standby," Rainbow answered "Dash, I'll be honest that plan sucks," Soarin replied "Oh... Okay," Rainbow answered and let's her ears fall back and thinks again, the other 2 are fighting again "I-I got another plan" Rainbow said quietly "Shut up! Dash tell us!" Soarin said sharply "*Flinch* O-okay, T-the heavy armor will move per the right gate, the medium and light armor will go left with the infantry, The choppers will defend the artillery and the artillery will be ready to support fire, I-I'm sure the air force will standby too" Rainbow suggested a bit unsure "That," Big Mac began "Plan," Spitfire continued "Is awesome," Soarin finished "Then why are you still standing here? Move out!" Rainbow answered "Yes Ma'am," all three replied "Okay everypony, You all know the plan?" Rainbow asked "Yes Ma'am but what company has what?" Big Mac asked "Damn didn't thought about that... ehm, let me think real quick," Rainbow answered "Okay, I-I think I got it," Rainbow said "Alpha and Charlie will take the heavy armor, Bravo Medium armor, Echo Light armor, Foxtrot infantry, Delta the choppers, and Yankee-Five artillery as always," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Everypony answered We began to march, Five minutes before we where there I ordered the missile strikes "Okay the entrances are free, Let's go!" Rainbow ordered "Yankee-Five, I need a MLRS barrage onto square: J14," Rainbow requested "Affirmative Ma'am, Firing for effect," The gunner answered a couple of seconds later "Perfect artillery hit, Keep those coordinates coming," The observer said "Damit, Enemy choppers incoming!" Big Mac informed "Air Force, we need an anti-aircraft strike onto square: H16-17," Rainbow ordered "Affirmative Ma'am, ETA: 15 seconds," A pony answered "Direct hit, Good job," Rainbow said "Okay, let's advance," Rainbow ordered "Dash, we got problems here, We could use support," Spitfire requested "*Sigh* Okay I send Big Mac over," Rainbow answered "Thanks," Spitfire replied "Dash are you sure? I mean we could get overrun here," Soarin figured "No were not, we will advance on this side because, most of their force will be on the left side now to interfere there ," Rainbow answered "Makes sense," Soarin replied "Then shut up and get this company moving" Rainbow replied "There it works! They are following Big Mac!" Soarin exclaimed "Told you, now go!" Rainbow replied "How long till launch?" Soarin asked "around 15 Minutes," Rainbow answered "Then we need to move faster," Soarin figured "Didn't I just said that a couple of seconds ago?" Rainbow asked "Maybe...," Soarin replied "Let's just move," Rainbow answered We began to move as fast as we could, by half of the way. "Is that an earthquake?" Rainbow asked "Holy...," Soarin replied "Did they?" Rainbow asked "Yep, They launched the rocket," Soarin answered "Here's HQ, We are trying to find the abort codes," A pony said "Affirmative, We are keep moving," Rainbow answered We cutted though their defence like butter, We had around 40 minutes till the rocket would hit, But we still moved as fast as we could, We didn't wanted to risk anything. "HQ did you got the abort codes yet?" Rainbow asked "Yes ma'am "Okay we will get moving then," Rainbow answered "How are we supposed to get in the bunker?" Soarin asked "We are gonna knock and if no one opens, We are gonna bust through their doors," Rainbow answered "Sounds good," Soarin replied "Then let's do it," Rainbow answered We used our tanks against their "Bomb proof" gates and they were gone. "Squad 1 you go left, We will go right," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Big Mac replied We began to make our way to the control room. We passed several halls took out many soldiers. "Okay to the end of this hall then right down that hall and then left and we should be there," Rainbow informed "Don't let your guard down," Soarin added "Yea but we need to move fas...," Rainbow got cut off as a grenade rolled around the corner "Oh fuck!" Rainbow exclaimed Soarin grabbed Rainbow and pulled her away and laid on top of her all in a split second and the grenade exploded, "Agh!" Soarin exclaimed "Looks like I owe you one," Rainbow replied "Maybe," Soarin answered a little pained A Hippogriff jumped around the corner and Rainbow instantly planted a shot into his face "And there goes that" Rainbow said with a giggle "Yea," Soarin answered and rolled his eyes They just looked into each others eyes for a couple more seconds "Sir we need to keep going," A pony said "Oops yea sorry," Soarin replied with a blush He got up from Rainbow and helped her up "Soarin you feel okay?" Rainbow asked "Yea, Why?" Soarin asked back "Just because of the shrapnel's in your back," Rainbow answered "Looks worse than it is," Soarin replied "Then let's keep going," Rainbow replied As we continued I saw that Soarin limped and Winced every time his right back hoof hitted the ground. "You sure you are okay?" Rainbow asked worried "Yea I am," Soarin replied with an wince "Soarin I'm serious if you...," Rainbow got cut off as she jumped in front of him The next thing I know is, That I jumped in front of Soarin but I didn't saw that I would show me around the corner by that and 2 bullet ripped through my right back hoof and 1 got stuck in my right flank. "Agh!" Rainbow exclaimed and jumped forward and knocked over Soarin In a matter of seconds I was on my back and a medic was bandaging my back hoof all the way up to my flank, As soon as they where done. "We won't be able to get through that, But I already got an idea," Rainbow said "And what?" Soarin asked "You Soarin throw a grenade around the corner and leave the rest to me," Rainbow answered "Okay... 3...2...1... Go!," Soarin exclaimed Soarin threw a grenade around the corner as soon as it exploded I rushed to the other side of the hallway and carried on, I went into the room behind the MG through a second door, It wasn't so heavily guarded but still, There where around 6 hippogriffs Rainbow threw her last grenade a flashbang, all 6 hippogriffs got blinded. Before they knew anything 4 of them were dead, She ran to one of the dead bodies tooked a grenade and threw it behind the MG gunner, And he was gone, But the 2 Hippogriffs who weren't blinded anymore jumped on top of her pinning her, They both nodded at each other they made themselves ready to beat her, but before they could something Soarin rushed around the corner and shot them down from Rainbow. "Thanks," Rainbow said as she stood up "No problem," Soarin replied as they began to walk again They walked out of the room and through the last hallway "Okay we are nearly there it should be around this corner," Rainbow said and peeked around the corner "Strange no one in here," Rainbow figured as she walked into the room "Let's just hope it keeps like that," Soarin answered They began to make their way further into the room and moved to a computer "Okay uploading the abort codes now," Rainbow informed "Launch aborted," Did a computer voice say, "Okay now let's get out of here," Rainbow said "Good idea," Soarin replied We fought our way back out and got back into our tanks and began to move against the Chinese main city.
Chapter 10 [Final Chapter]Chapter 10 We began to move to the Chinese main city and got informed that the attack from the north-east final pushed through and are on their way too. "Yes sir we will be there in around an hour," Rainbow said "Okay you will attack with everything you got it will take us something around 2 till 3 hours to get there," The General informed "Affirmative, Over and Out," Rainbow replied So this is the final attack?" Soarin asked "Yep today is the day that we finally end this war," Rainbow answered "Then let's do this!" Soarin replied 1 Hour later "Okay, Big Mac and spitfire left side, Commander and Fleetfoot right side, Twilight you command the artillery platoon, rest through middle, Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Everypony answered "Okay Twilight send everything you got onto sqaure: G1-18 Rainbow ordered "That will take very long Dash," Twilight answered "Just make small barrages to startle them," Rainbow replied "Okay," Twilight replied We watched as seconds later the whole defence line got bombarded with artillery grenades and MLRS rockets, the bombarded lastet for 30 seconds and then we charged. "Gunner, 10 o'clock and half a click enemy tank," Soarin ordered "Twilight barrage on square: G7," Rainbow ordered "Incoming," Twilight answered After around 50 minutes with no advance and very big loses while the Chinese rather minor loses, but the russian have got very heavy loses they where nearly at the breaking point. "Dash we are getting attacked from and it's no few soldiers it's a whole force!" Big Mac informed "Okay try to..." She began "Ma'am we are getting attacked pretty heavy too," The Commander cutted off "Darn it, *Sigh* okay fallback to my position and we have a full force counter attack," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Both ponies answered as they began made their way to her "How many are coming?" Rainbow asked "4 Companies from the left and 4 from the right," Big Mac and the Commander answered "So nearly a regiment, Well we just have to survive till the General get's here, then we will push them back," Rainbow figured "How long till?" Big Mac asked "If my calculations are correct around 10 minutes," Rainbow answered "Shouldn't be a problem," Big Mac answered "Then let's do this, Big Mac you take the middle of our back, Spitfire right and Commander left, Fleetfoot you will support my force," Rainbow ordered "Yes Ma'am," Everypony answered We held our positions and threw wave after wave of the attack back, We had minor loses. "Colonel Dash, We are around 1 minute from the battlefield any orders for help on specify positions?" The General asked "Yes Sir, We are surrounded and pinned down on square: K10, Surround them and take them from behind," Rainbow answered "Affirmative," The General answered General Flash's force came into view and began to shot the Chinese forces Big Mac was fighting against. They then splitted up and cleaned left and right at the same time. "Everything is clear, Now let's move into the attack," General Flash ordered "Yes Sir," Everypony replied and began to attack the defence again 15 Minutes Later In those 15 Minutes we reduced our loses from 5 soldiers every minute to 5 soldier every 3 minutes. "Okay we nearly broke them let's..." The General began "Sir very big and heavy Russian force from behind," Rainbow informed "How many?" The General asked "Nearly 2 regiments," Rainbow answered "WHAT?! Okay everypony let's stop the attack and counter-attack their ambush," The General informed "Yes sir," Everypony except Rainbow replied "Sir one company should stay back, And keep this flank from falling us into our backs," Rainbow said "Okay, your Company will do that," The General replied "Yes Sir," Rainbow answered "So with not even a full battalion we shall hold back nearly a whole Chinese regiment?" Soarin asked "Uhm... Yea pretty much," Rainbow answered "Hmph... Shouldn't be a problem," Soarin replied sarcastically We only had 3 companies, The general needed as much units as he could to counter-attack the Russian ambush. He had nearly 2 regiments with him he said they would need around 30 minutes when not longer to wipe them out. About 10 Minutes later . "Colonel Dash, we will need less time than expected, We just got German reinforcements," The General informed "Okay, how long?" Rainbow asked "10 till 15 minutes," The General answered "Okay," Rainbow replied "We will move over into the attack and push the defensive Chinese force back," Rainbow said "What?! Are you stupid?" Soarin asked "Nope, We will make it easier for the the General to push through the rest," Rainbow answered "Makes sense... Okay let's go!" Soarin replied "Okay we will move over into the attack," Rainbow said to her company We began to charge at the Chinese force and took them by surprise, We nearly threw them to their HQ back I ordered 3 platoons to guard the 3 street's behind us. "Okay Colonel we just wiped the Russian force out... Wait did you move into the attack?" The General asked "Yes Sir, I ordered my unit to do this to make it easier for you to wipe out the rest," Rainbow answered "Well it could have gone wrong... But never mind that, It worked and you just made it easier for all of us to break through their defence," The General answered The Generals force began to move to the down and splitted in half and attack the left and right side, He even sended a couple of platoons down to us to support us. "Okay we will keep pushing until the General get's to us, Then we will see what we do," Rainbow said 10 Minutes later "Okay we nearly got it, Let's just keep charging," The General said "Yes Sir," Everypony answered "If we keep this pace we will end this in not even 20 minutes," Rainbow figured "Well then let's do this," Soarin answered "Heck yes!" Rainbow replied We kept our pace and in 15 minutes we pretty much had the whole city and the last target was their HQ. "Okay they are making their last stand at their HQ, Let's role over them and end this war," The General said "Yes sir," Everypony replied "Company one goes left and Company two goes right," Rainbow ordered to her troops "Yes Ma'am," they replied They began to attack it only took them 5 minutes to overrun the enemy. "Okay a squad of 20 ponies will go in and the rest defends if something should attack here again," The General ordered "Who...," Rainbow began "You, And please no prisoners" The General cut off and said simply "Yes Sir," She replied and got out of her tank We made our way into the HQ we walked from room to room and killed everything that was inside something around 15 griffins ans 25 hippogriffis. But we found war prisoners bruised, cut and nearly dead and got them out of there. "Okay everything is clear sir," Rainbow informed "Okay then now officially the war is ended," The General said and cheered They began to pack and made their way back to Equestria "And that kiddo is how your old parents won the war,"Rainbow said "Cool! So what happend after that?" Prism Bolt asked "Oh that's another story," Rainbow answered and smiled at Soarin Author's Note So That's it, I hope you enjoyed my little Story.
Chapter 1.5 [What happend while Rainbow was unconscious]"Sir, We are getting heavy attacked, We can't stand these loses for long," Twilight said "Affirmative, Try to hold them off as long as you can." Big Mac replied "Soarin here, we are not having that much trouble we could even push them back," Soarin said "Okay, Try to push around and come from behind," Big Mac answered "Yes Sir." Soarin replied Soarin did as told only to find something he hadn't expected, as he pushed around a corner some platoons came from behind them. "Sir, plan change we just got pinned down from some platoons, and can't push those back," Soarin said "*Sigh* well try to fight yourself out I can't send help." Big Mac answered "Affirmative." Soarin replied "Echo here, if we stay longer here they will overrun us," Echo exclaimed "Okay, you and Foxtrot fallback into the town center, and keep them away from our backs." Big Mac replied It worked... but only for a couple of minutes "Sir here's Twilight, we can't hold this side anymore," Twilight said "Hmm..., Okay plan change, Big Mac to all companies we are falling back into the town center." Big Mac ordered They all moved back, without loses "Okay everypony keep those commies in front of you, and don't let them though, or this whole defence tatic won't work," Big Mac said "Yes Sir." Everypony replied This time it worked for a rather long time about 1 hour later "Sir, our ammunition is nearly depleted," Soarin exclaimed "Yes doesn't look better by us too," Big Mac replied "Okay everypony this worked quiet well, but still, we have to fallback," Big Mac said "Fallback? were, we are surrounded," Twilight replied "Big Mac to every company, we will make a last push attempt on the North flank." Big Mac answered And so they attacked and... it worked they were though, but what Big Mac didn't expected was that the russian waited for them. "Well there goes that plan," Big Mac said "And now?" Soarin asked "*Sigh* surrender..." Big Mac replied No pony said anything nor did anything. Some russians began to walk to them but no one shot, with that the rest came and took away they're weapons.
