Prologue.
In an attempt to seize total domination swiftly, the GUP program was announced by the Fuhrer during one of the Nuremburg Rallies in 1927. The program calls for the conscription of female citizens into military service. With his troops amassed he seeks to conquer Europe and install an ideology of power based in his image.
March, 1940. Stalin wishes to amass more troops thus, he also begun the conscription of Female soldiers.
June 22, 1940. Operation Barbarossa, Schwarzwaldspitze S.S. took the front lines and marches through Russia and laid waste to Stalingrad. Stalin was furious, and with the lack of soldiers to fight on the ground he too begun deploying female soldiers into different army group. One special army group was created named Pravda headed by Katyusha. By that time, Moscow is surrounded but the Nazi can't break the lines of Moscow after several attacks. By late June of 1940, the Nazis have conquered most of Europe.
September 7,1940. The Nazis started a full-scale invasion in Great Britain, the Nazis crippled their defenses and are weakened. Within 2 weeks a quarter of London is already on fire from air raids. Three days after Nazi ground forces landed on the coasts of Britain, namely Dover, Folkestone, and Hastings. Nazi sent Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen, a detachment army from the original Schwarzwaldspitze S.S. Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen is headed by Obergruppenfuhrer Erika Itsumi. While in the east was headed by Oberst-Gruppenführer Maho Nishizumi and are called the original Schwarzwaldspitze S.S.
December 7, 1941, Pravda was proving a challenge for the Schwarzwaldspitze S.S. Thus, The Imperial Japanese never bombed pearl harbor instead focused north after the fall of Manchuria. Emperor Hirohito saw the potential of Japanese females thus begins the conscription of Female soldiers ready to assist their ally in the north. The Japanese Imperial created Chi-Ha-Tan under Kaigun-chusa. Kinuyo Nishi.
January, 1942 Present time.
Maho plans to enter into a decisive battle against Pravda. Moscow is now slowly being choked by the Nazi, surrounded on both the north and the south. But recent attacks have been ineffective ever since Pravda was created and the northern force is having struggles with large amount of resistance in Leningrad.
Location: Moscow.
At the office in Moscow, Katyusha received reports that a large Nazi army are amassing within Minsk.
"Chert. Maho is going for a decisive battle, pretty cocky. Nonna! Assemble the men. Have defenses in the frontline ready." Katyusha knew that Maho's army is divided, since the other half is serving in the west under Erika. Pravda used this as an advantage since Schwarzwaldspitze has a divided chain of command. With that in mind Pravda plans to launch a massive counter-offensive to all sides. Katyusha is naming it Operation Bagration.
"Nonna! Ready the main force of Pravda we will intercept them at Smolensk."
Pravda has assembled numerous tanks and artilleries for infantry support. Along with the tanks is the 65th army composed of remnants of the 64th army. Opposite to Stalin's usual doctrine, Katyusha convinced Stalin to withdraw the 64th army and surrender Stalingrad since any further loss can mean the immediate fall of USSR. The remnants of the 64th army was merged with the 2nd reserved army of the Soviet Union.
Location: Schwarzwaldspitze S.S. Forward base at Minsk.
An officer enters the office of Maho. "Oberst-Gruppenführer Maho. Obergruppenfuhrer Miho is not present at her office we've sent a small group to search for her but she can't be found anywhere."
"I see, lock the whole base but do it discretely I can't let the whole men hear about this. If you find her, bring Miho to the nearby warehouse outside the base." Replied by Maho in a calm voice. Maho asked herself that why did Miho deserted during the most crucial time. "She should have never seen those." As Maho replied to herself she clenched her fist on the table.
"Miho, you'll be safe inside my Panzer II, the guards never inspect its inside. Plus, it is my patrol duty so we won't be questioned" Whispered by Koume Akaboshi as they're nearing the checkpoint.
"Thanks, Koume." Whispered by Miho. Koume has been loyal to Miho since the beginning and is thankful to Miho because Miho saved her during the first offensive in Moscow. Koume is willing risk her life just to repay what Miho has done to her.
The tank stopped at the guard house. "Guten tag, Ma'am' Akaboshi." With respected greetings by the guard. Before they open the barrier arms another soldier approached the guard presenting papers.
"What seems to be the problem sir?" Koume calmly asked. Her palms are starting to sweat and her body feels cold. The guard lets off a nod to the soldier, then the soldier said "Ma'am, you'll be coming with us." The tank is escorted by another Panzer 2 at the back along with a half-track and a Kettenkrad at the front. While on the way Miho became nervous and started to sweat, but she kept a calm and collected attitude while Koume's hand started to shake. The convoy stopped just about 2 miles outside base.
An officer stepped out the Kettenkrad. Then said "Koume Akaboshi, you along with your crew are convicted of treason for assisting the escape of a deserting officer." Soldiers deployed from the half-track then surrounded the tank at a safe distance armed with rifles and panzerfausts. The hatch opened with Koume raising her arms. "Officer there must be some sort of a mistake."
"There is no mistake Koume you've been in contact with Obergruppenfuhrer Miho this past weeks and her disappearance leads us to believe that you are currently assisting her escape." The officer replied. Three soldiers approached the tank and assisted Koume and her crew to get off the tank. Then one of the soldiers inspected the tank and discovered Miho.
"Sir, I've discovered Obergruppenfuhrer Miho." Said the soldier. All four was laid in the ground after which the soldiers bagged their heads.
