Author: There we are Chapter 2 a little late but better than never.
Criticism is welcome
There was such a silence in the room that you could hear a pin drop. Seconds seemed like hours and minutes like days when Miho repeated Erika's words in the head.
"'What love letter' It's your signature on it." "Does she deny it?" Thought Miho as a sadness spread. Miho blushed as she was very unsure and tried to suppress her sadness
"What love letter?" Erika slowly approached Miho.
"Well the one you have sent to me over a soldier" Miho explained waving the letter in front of her.
"I did not write that to you" Erika said looking uncertainly at Miho.
"P-P-Please do not joke Eririn" stuttered Miho as her voice sounded hollow.
"I do not do Miho honest!" Erika assured and put a hand gently on Miho's shoulder looking deep into Miho's eyes.
"Oh ok" Miho made a disappointed face she held the letter to her chest.
"But who sent for one?" Miho thought loud about it and tapped her lip with her finger.
"I would think of a person" Erika thought and her eyes darkened.
"If it turns out that my assumption is true I will kill that bitch" Erica growled.
"Above all who can copy your writing so well?" Miho asked Erika tearing her out of her thoughts.
"Argh! Does anyone know that we are together?! So far we have kept it a secret." Miho now had panic written all over her face and stepped back from Erika.
"Miho calm down Ahhh" Erika wanted to reassure Miho but Miho stumbled over the edge of the bed and grabbed Erika and tore her down with her to the floor. Erika was now on Miho and her face was only a few inches away from Mihos. Miho blushed and Erika did too.
"Erika ... I'm sorry ..." Miho just wanted to say that there was a knock on the door and they both flinched and looked at the door in alarm
"Miho I should tell you that the radio goes back you know" said Erwin and came in without waiting for an answer and looked at the situation. She smiled as she saw the faces of Miho and Erika looking shocked at the entrance.
"Now I know why Yukari did not want to come in" Erwin thought chuckling to herself.
Erwin cleared her throat "when you're done with whatever you are doing Miho you are needed in the radio room" Erwin said unable to suppress a laugh as she left the room.
In front of the command post Yukari stood with folded arms and waited for Erwin to come out. It does not take long and Erwin came through the door with a smirk on her face.
"Why are you laughing? Is everything ok? What about Nishizumi-dono?" Yukari asked wildly taking a few steps with Erwin. Erwin put her arm around Yukari
"Guderian you certainly do not want to know that" and she laughed out loud as she recalled the faces of Miho and Erika.
"Come on I'll invite you to a ration" said Erwin pushing Yukari toward the food court.
"Are not we all going to get a ration?" Yukari asked looking at Erwin in bewilderment.
"According to the circumstances I would love to invite you to a German meal we would not sit here somewhere in the war and have to shovel something pressed together" Erwin said with a slightly irritable voice but still had a smile on her face.
"From that point on it's not exactly polite to question his girlfriend" Erwin points a finger at Yukari who only looked helplessly into Erwin's eyes.
"True I'm sorry! Do we want to?" Yukari bowed briefly and grabbed Erwin's arm and pulled her with her to the boarding place. As they were going into the tent Erwin saw Erika and Miho coming out of the shelter. They looked around and headed for the communications tent.
"So, this is your beloved Miho?" Erwin thought.

Miho and Erika reached the communication tent where Saori already tried different frequencies on the radio.
"Miporin! It's good that you're there the repair work is completed faster than expected" she struck Miho.
"That's good news Saori!" Miho said happily placing a hand on Saori's shoulder.
"Did you already Onee I mean reached the HQ?" Miho asked and looked at the data sheet with the different channels listed.
"Not really I cannot get them one hundred percent pure there must be interference on the cable" Saori said sweaty.
"May I get it?" Erika interjected.
"Uh ok sure" Saori said stunned
Erika turned on the transmitter several times and got in one station.
"Here's first Lieutenant Itsumi I ask for confirmation that the line is connected" said Erika and put the radio on speaker.
"Here is the OKH we confirm receipt from the Oarai base" came the voice from the radio.
"Thanks, Itsumi-san that's great" Saori said happily taking Erika's hands and shaking her.
"Nothing to thank me for" Erika said smiling uncertainly. Rightly in Kuromorimine it was obligatory to master such a thing.
"OKH here we pass to the Supreme Commander" sounded from the radio.
"Miho Are you alright?" Maho's voice sounded worriedly out of the radio
"Yes Onee-Chan thanks to Erika's timely arrival we were able to ward off the unexpected attack with only a dozen slightly injured soldiers for the tanks have gotten a bit more damage that we can repair though" Miho said quietly and looked at Erika with a benevolent smile.
"Good to hear, you two have to come to the HQ tomorrow morning there are some important news that cannot be fixed over the radio" Miho almost agreed toneless.
"Got it early in the morning at sunrise in the HQ"
"Miporin I'll give you everything you can get some rest" Saori said smiling at Miho.
"Thanks, but I have a lot of work to do Reports and strategies etc." Miho said and smiled sweatily.
"Miho give yourself a break we'll do it" Erika muttered to Miho and looked her in the eye.
"She is right Miporin listen to your partner" Saori smiled sweetly.
Erika and Miho looked shocked at Saori and blushed immediately
"W-W-W-What? H-H-H-How?" Both stuttered simultaneously waving their arms in defense before their bodies.
"Well it is logical" said Saori in wonderment looking from Miho to Erika in turn "We are allies and you both are a first lieutenant are you partners or are you not?"
Miho blinked for a few seconds and looked at Erika and began to nod. Erika glanced down at Miho her eyes darting over Miho's face and landing on Miho's breasts. Erika began to sweat and became even redder. She crossed her arms and looked away and looked at a poster with the symbol of Kuromorimine inscribed 'Our tanks bring victory'.
"C-Come on Smurf we'll go to your dugout and prepare for tomorrow" Erika said pushing Miho toward the exit.
"Do not call me Smurf, Eririn!" Miho protested glaring at Erika.
"Funny this Itsumi-san" Saori thought as she watched the two of them "you would think they were a couple" she shrugged and turned back to the radio.
It took some time when Erika had stowed all her belongings so far in Mihos shelter. With a loud sigh Erika dropped to her bed.
"Finally finished, Miho you have very little space here" she said and looked to Miho who sat exhausted on her bedside.
"It's actually enough for one person" she grinned at Erika
Erika nodded in agreement and closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"When do you want to tell Onee-chan that we are together?" Miho asked sitting down on the bed leaning against the wall staring at Erika.
"Preferably never" thought Erika sighing in frustration.
"If she's sees me in a little better light" Erika looked at Miho and examined her.
Miho sat there staring at her hands with a worried face.
"Should I prefer telling her sooner than later?" Miho began
"NO, I'll do that I promise you" Erika interrupted and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Hmm ok" Miho said trying to smile.
Erika went to Miho's bed and sat next to Miho and hugged her with one arm
"What's going on?"
Miho leaned her head on Erika's shoulder took a deep breath. Erika's smell made Miho's heart beat a lot faster.
"Am I embarrassed to tell Onee-Chan that we two are a thing?" Miho thought but she did not want to offend any discussion or Erika so she decided on the second most important question in the room
"I'm curious what Onne-chan has to discuss so important tomorrow" said Miho snuggling closer and closer to Erika and closed her eyes. Erika stroked Miho's upper arm and thought for a moment.
"Definitely an action against the French or how we can finally make amends of the mistake I made in the north" Erika said embarrassed and hoped somehow for Mihos comfort but this time she got nothing as reply. Erika looked over to Miho and saw that she had fallen asleep. Erika chuckled slightly and was about to get up to cover Miho but Miho embraced Erika with both arms and made a protesting sound before she started to breathe evenly. Erika blushed a little "You've won little Smurf I'll stay in your bed for the night" Erika thought and kissed Miho's forehead. Erika yawned once when she and Miho got into a comfortable position on Miho's bed. She hugged Miho and closed her eyes then hummed a little song to herself until she was fast asleep with exhaustion.

"Do not you think that's enough? This is your third cup of coffee" Yukari shook her head as she sullenly looked at Erwin into her tent on a stool with a morning muffle face. Erwin turned her head to Yukari and narrowed her eyes.
"Dug ditches deep into the night carried ammo boxes and just two hours of sleep so Yeah I'm super" she took a long sip of coffee.
"And then this coffee it's more broth or German 'Muckefuck' than real coffee" she sighed.
"Muckefuck? What's that?" Yukari cocked her head slightly to the side and made a questioning face.
"A bad coffee to roughly translate but I'll explain the rest to you when I'm back and slept for a bit" said Erwin and yawned once very long not bothering to cover her open mouth. She looked at the clock "15 minutes late I have to go" Erwin thought and sighed.
"Why Nishizumi-dono did not want me?" Yukari said to herself.
"Because you have the command here if Miho is not there" Erwin stood up and patted Yukari on the shoulder.
"Not for nothing are YOU Guderian" Erwin grinned cheekily and tapped Yukari on the nose and blushed a little. Yukari giggled and ruffled her hair at the same moment she hugged Erwin and pulled her close.
"When you're back you'll get more of that" Yukari said kissing Erwin sensually on the lips.
"I cannot wait" whispered Erwin as she released the kiss and grinned back.
"Do you have the reports?" Miho ran frantically from her cries to the bed everywhere losing notes documents and folders. Erika sat on her bed and watched Miho happily.
"How can a fool like her be a tank ace?" Erika thought to herself.
"Still here with me Miho" Erika waved a folder in front of her.
Miho flushed in the face "That's right I gave you that," she laughed uncertainly and turned away from Erika so she could not see the embarrassment. Erika got up and hugged Miho from behind.
"I like it when you're so lost Miho" she said softly into Miho's ear and squeezed her harder.
"Ehhh" Miho felt Erika's warm breath on her neck and she got even redder in the face then she touched Erika's soft hands. Erika's hands parted and turned over Miho's hands and she gently stroked the back of her hand. Miho turned her head to Erika as far as she could and looked in a few sky-blue eyes full of kindness and passion. Miho could not help but curl up and give Erika a kiss on her soft lips as she closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.
This time Erika broke the kiss smiling a little "As much as I would like to continue now but we have to go" she said sadly.
Sadly, Miho nodded in agreement and searched the folder on Erika's bed.
"Where did you put it?" Miho started by answering Erika with a sigh. Erika turns around and picks up the folder that was lying on the pillow shaking hands with Miho and shoving the folder into her hand. Miho laughed embarrassed
"Then let's go" and went to the door.
Erika cleared her throat and Miho turned around and looked at her questioningly. Erika took Miho's officer's cap and silently put it on her head.
"You'd forget your head you Smurf" Erika teased Miho shaking her head and heading outside. Miho sighed and straightened her cap and followed Erika.
Miho did not believe her eyes when she arrived at the HQ. It changed completely within 24 hours tanks were manned in the middle of the base and the guards were less as everyone seemed to be running around.
"What happened here?" Miho thought and exchanged an astonished look with Erika.
"Something big must have happened" Erika said to herself. Erwin had to watch where she was going. Everywhere there were soldiers standing around and saluting Miho and Erika.
"Are those Bellwall soldiers?" Erwin asked Miho looking closer at the soldiers and nodding in agreement.
"Insanity what your friend has mustered" Erwin said and gave Miho a thumb up. Erika took a deep breath once but said nothing and turned her eyes towards the command bunker. Erwin parked just outside the entrance.
"MIHO!" a small person called from a distance and came running to Miho and Erika. Miho got scared and turned quickly to the voice and grinned all over her face.
Hitomi Yuzumoto hugged Miho friendly and beamed all over her face.
"I heard what the French did but with a Nishizumi you do not dress" she joked
"How are you?"
"Well without Erika we would have been overrun" said Miho and looked to Erika. Erika stood there with her arms crossed and looked in a different direction.
"I'm fine and yourself? What are you all doing here? "
"Did you not notice today the alliance is signed" Hitomi said cheerfully "and celebrated" she added.
"What's going on?" Erika asked looking questioningly at Hitomi.
"One of the merge and the other we have Katyushas army expelled from your supply track" Hitomi winked at Erika.
"I'm sorry I have to go back to the tank and check it closer answer will probably bring the meeting" said Hitomi and looked at her watch.
"Yeah it was nice Hi…Hitomi again maybe later" said Miho and smiled at Hitomi.
Hitomi smiled at Miho and gave her a thumb up and then disappeared into a crowd of Bellwall soldiers.
"Let's go" said Erika moving to the check-in counter at the entrance to check the papers.
"Hmph let's see what comes again for a chicane" thought Miho and went to the checkpoint.
"Papers" the guard said and looked at Miho and her gaze moved back to Erika and back to Miho.
Miho handed her the papers and waited for the chicane. The guard made only a fleeting one on the pass and gave it back to Miho immediately.
"Go on" the guard said and handed it back to Miho.
Miho blinked incredulously a few times as she was picked up by Erika's hand and pulled away.
"Is something wrong?" Erika asked Miho she looking worried.
"N-no is alright" Miho said forcing an uncertain smile.
As the two entered the meeting room a wild conversation was heard. On one side stood Anchovy, Koume, Sheska and Emi. Emi told all the details of the battle against Pravda and did not realize that Erika and Miho had entered the room.
"ERIKA! MIHO welcome!" Greeted Koume and waved to them joyfully. "Great performance you have proven in the defense" she added.
Erika just nodded and sat down in her seat and prepared the papers for the meeting.
"Thank you but without Eri..." Miho wanted to report just when Emi turned around and immediately went to Miho excited.
"MIHO! Finally, I see you again" said Emi loudly and gave Miho a warm hug.
It was such a force that Miho almost fell over, Miho looked worriedly at Erika and saw the look she gave Emi...hate and death clear to see.
"Man, oh man you have got sturdy" Emi joked and grabbed Miho's butt. Miho cried out for a second knocking Emi's hand away.
"But fortunately, not in the important places" Emi whispered seductively to Miho.
She whispered something to Miho and Miho went with an uncertain look to Anchovy, Koume and Sheska and talked to them.
"What a slicer" thought Erika and her mood got even worse.
"Ah, where are my manners?" Said Emi and grabbed her head and went to Erika.
Erika sat like a ready to fight Wolf who was waiting for a wrong move from his victim to strike. Her hands were clenched into fists her eyes were narrowed and her teeth were tightly pressed together.
"Hi Erika nice to see you I have to express my deepest thanks" said Emi and bowed artificially before Erika.
"For what?" Erika hissed at Emi now began to shake her fists.
"This arrogant slut" Erika was not afraid to storm Emi.
"First of all, you saved MY Miho and brought her home and on the other hand we could buy us into this alliance for your glorious victory against Pravda" Emi said almost melodically.
"YOUR Miho...this... I... this BITCH" Erika could not think straight.
Erika stood so fast that her chair fell over and she ran up to a few millimeters Emi, her eyes stared with full anger in Emis eyes. Emis did not care at all and stopped. The front door opened and two women soldiers entered followed by Maho who looked around and saluted.
"Please sit down" Maho said and walked to her seat at the head of the table.
"We'll talk later Bitch" Erika whispered leaving Emi behind and putting her chair down again and sitting down on it.
When everyone sat in their seats Maho spoke up.
"There is important news" Maho took a note and went through it briefly.
"By a cowardly attack on Miho's units the French have shown their position. Of course, we will not let leave this attack unanswered." Maho paused for a moment and looked at Anchovy who immediately got up and pinned a card to the wall. The card was in blue letters "Fall Blau".
"We have kept to the historical" Anchovy said as everyone tried to translate the German.
Maho took the floor again "All bases will be dissolved tomorrow there is only this as a pure base otherwise only outpost. That means all supplies weapons and tanks are stored and stationed here. "
She continued "Fall Blau will be the annihilation of the French who have attacked Miho. Miho and Erika will lead this attack. You will capture the High Commander with heavy tanks and a strong force. It would be fatal if they also joined the Allies but not impossible for us to win the victory".
Anchovy intervened "The commander-in-chief is Erika and Miho as co commander-in-chief"
Erika swallowed
"I-I?" She points to her finger and her eyes were huge.
Anchovy smiled "Everyone deserves a second chance and that's yours".
Erika turned to Maho "I will not disappoint you!" Now she bowed to Maho.
Maho nodded slightly and continued.
"Furthermore, there are the following innovations Recent news from the fronts via a kind of radio station an idea of Anchovy I was skeptical at first but I seem to be plausible in retrospect then will be awarded starting tomorrow as soon as blue honor insignia for special services and too good and important Lastly we congratulate the Bellwall force on the successful battle against the Russians who have restored our vital supply line." Maho stood up and saluted Emi.
"It is my honor to join you in our alliance and appoint you Emi to the rank of First Lieutenant" Maho and Anchovy went to see Emi both of whom watched with awe. Then Anchovy Emi handed over her uniform.
"It's an honor" said Emi, smiling.
All just started clapping Erika crossed her arms and stared at Emi with a murderous look.

"We should rest Erika when tomorrow the battle begins who knows when we will get a good night's sleep again" said Miho when she started to finish her bed.
"Hmm" Erika muttered studying the map.
"What is it?" Miho looked at Erika in surprise and went to her and placed a hand uncertainly on her shoulder.
"What tactic would you take?" Erika muttered to herself.
Miho glanced at the map and at the troops she smiled and kissed Erika on the cheek.
"Whatever you think Erin...Blitzkrieg of course" she said and giggled and hugged Erika from behind.
Erika laughed for a moment "You know me well little Smurf".
Miho blew her cheeks and tried to be angry she let go of Erika and tried to be offended
"See how you keep warm tonight alone to call me a Smurf! Tzz good night Eririn" she went to her bed just put on shoes quickly Paddock and the field blouse and slipped into the bed and pulled the blanket over her head. Erika watched this happen and was amused. She turned off the light and went to Miho's bed and sat down on the bed.
"Miho" Erika said chuckling as she undressed slowly.
"Let me sleep you bully" said Miho and could not suppress a giggle.
"For sure after I conquered you" Erika joked tearing Miho's blanket away and falling over her. Miho cried out for a moment and then laughed she tried to fend off Erika but Erika leaned completely against Miho and tickled her at the hips. Miho broke away and launched a counterattack she rolled away from Erika and immediately fell prey to Erika. Before she knew it, she was on Erika pinning her hands to the bed.
"Looks like I won Eririn" Miho annoyed Erika and looked into her eyes she saw that Erika gave her a warm smile and her cheeks were flushed. Miho realized that she was getting warmer and that her blood was rising to her cheeks.
"Do not rejoice too early. MY little Smurf" Erika said softly wrapping Miho with her legs and rolling Miho on her back quickly grabbing Miho's hands and pinning her on the back. Erika's face was close to Miho's face.
"Do you see?!" she said confidently and gave a gentle kiss to Miho's mouth. Miho returned it and did not fight Erika again. Erika noticed that Miho no longer resisted and let go of her hands and gently stroked Miho's head. Erika let go of the kiss. Miho opened her eyes and embraced Erika's head and pushed her back to kiss her.
"You little horny" thought Erika and the pressure of Mihos arms and legs would continue to intimate. Erika's tongue was in Miho's mouth with a muffled moan.
Erika slowly slipped her hands over Miho's face and went further down towards Miho's breasts. Her firm breasts and soft skin have made Erika more and more exciting and her breathing faster. A little aggressive she kneaded her breasts and played with Miho's erect nipples. Miho groaned loudly and her face made a worried expression.
"All right Miho?" Erika asked worriedly and stopped working on the breasts.
"We do not have to…"
"Please keep going Erika" Miho pleaded and pressed her body more to Erika.
"As you wish" said Erika grinning.
Erika moved her tongue down to Mihos breast and began to lick and suck on the nipple. Miho hugged Erika's head and pressed her more to her breasts. She tried to suppress her moan which was in vain. Erika wandered into Miho's pants with one hand and stopped jerkily with her action.
"What the hell?" She thought and started to grin.
"I would not have thought of you Miho" she said played and started playing Miho's private parts. Miho reared up burying her face in Erika's shoulder.
"You are pretty lewd up Miho" Erika sneered and kissed Miho's neck again.
"Erika please" Miho started what was stopped with a violent groan.
Erika now let two fingers enter Miho and began to move them rhythmically. Miho moaned louder and louder with each movement and now bit Erika in the shoulder to suppress the groan.
"Since when do you shave yourself in the genital area? You little pervert" Erika mocked playfully and continued to kiss Miho's neck.
"Erika please...that's embarrassing" gasped Miho and took her hands to hide her face.
"Embarrassing? Tell someone else. Come on tell me how much you need it" said Erika in a more serious tone with a seductive smile.
"I...I..." Miho was then thrown by Erika on the back and she pressed her lips on Mihos.
Again, Erika began to rhythmically move her fingers which were answered by Miho with a dull moan. Miho began to shrug her abdomen Erika knew that it was a sign that her partner was about to come. The moaning became faster and more intense. Erika let go of the kiss and began to make the rhythmic movements piece by piece faster and faster. Miho just screamed out her lust she hugged Erika and pulled her closer and closer to her fingernails drilling into Erika's back.
"E-E-ERIKA I-I-I L-L-Loveeeee ..." and a wonderful feeling came over Miho and she cringed so much that she cried out again all of her lust. The grip loosened around Erika and Miho collapsed breathing heavily. Erika smiled contentedly and looked happily at Miho she pulled her hand out of Miho's pants and licked her fingers.
"Cute" she thought and began to stroke Miho's head.
"W-Where do you learn something like that?" Miho asked out of breath and stared at the ceiling.
"I will not tell you that little Smurf" teased Erika and gave Miho a kiss on the cheek. Erika looked deeply into Miho's eyes.
"I love you too Miho" she said tenderly pulling the covers over both of their bodies. She hugged Miho to donate her warmth.
"Good night" she wished and snuggled close to Miho.
"Hey and what about you I want you too..." Miho protested weakly as she felt Erika's finger on her lips.
"Not today anymore it's late and we need sleep for tomorrow" Erika whispered pulling Miho even closer.
"You have to imitate me first Emi" thought Erika and giggled to herself.

The next morning a long line of tanks stood in the thick undergrowth ready to attack. Erika nervously paced around her tank and looked at the other tanks where some of the soldiers were already sitting on the tank checking their weapons and equipment and talking. She looked at her watch on her wrist.
"In a few minutes the order to attack will be given" she repeated in her mind.
Her gaze wandered to Miho who was standing on her Panzer IV standing next to Erika's tank scanning the field for enemies with binoculars. As Miho set down the binoculars she immediately looked over to Erika she smiled at Erika and waved to her. Erika felt a surge of power that made her nervousness disappear. She smiled back at Miho and waved back. Miho jumped off the tank and hurried to Erika.
"No enemy movement" Miho spoke looking in the direction she had just explored the landscape. Erika listened silently. Miho did not know Erika so quietly and grabbed her hands and held her tight.
"Do not be so nervous that colors the troop" said Miho reassuringly and grinned at Erika. Erika nodded squeezing Miho's hands.
"You are a good leader you will lead us to victory all trust you and I believe in you" said Miho and blushed. Erika started to grin and blushed too.
"Thank you, Miho that means a lot to me," said Erika and pressed Miho to her body and gave Miho a kiss on the mouth. They stayed like that for a minute and did not care what the others would think about it.
"FALL BLAU!" shouted a radio operator from Erika's tank.
"Right now…" both thought at the same time and both broke away from the kiss and looked deep into each other's eyes.
"Take care Eririn" Miho said softly.
"You too little Smurf" teased Erika Miho and gave Miho a farewell kiss.
Both went to their tanks and occupied their stations. Erika looked at Miho one last time and nodded grinning.
"To all units: our target is the French base camp. Destroy all tanks and capture the leader if you can. Do not take unnecessary risks. Panzer Vor!"
Gradually the engines started and with great noise the steel colossus pushed forward from the undergrowth. Erika bit her lower lip and picked up her binoculars and watched the surroundings.
"20 km to expected enemy contact we drive up to 10 km and then get the infantry down on the ground until then radio silence!" Erika ordered over the intercom and continued to search the environment. She looked at Miho who scanned the area with a serious face.
"Take care of yourself Miho" Erika thought and focused again on the mission.
Erika's tank as planned on a map arrived on a ridge line that had enough protection not to be shot at or discovered unless warned by scouts or engine noise.
"Put down the infantry and get ready for battle" Erika ordered, wiping the sweat from her forehead. You could think of hundreds of possibilities in the head of how this attack could fail. "Hey Eririn!" A voice called next to Erika. Erika turned to the voice with a grim face but she only saw Miho sitting on her tank and smiling at her and giving her a thumb up. Erika looked surprised but then smiled.
"Hey Smurf!" Erika shouted and also gave Miho a thumb up. Miho giggled happily and turned to her crew.
"Infantry completely dismounted Mrs. first-Lieutenant" a soldier in front of Erika's tank shouted and saluted Erika saluted and picked up the radio.
"Ok scout tanks go ahead and report any activity infantry marches off to a distance of 5 km to the HKL (main battle line) and gets ready to attack. Tanks will start immediately when the infantry report is there." Erika commanded over the radio. Immediately the soldiers moved out and disappeared behind the ridge. It was very quiet the tension was written on everyone's face. Everyone waited for the urgent messages from the scouts and soldiers.
"Here pepperoni enemy is not warned positions half occupied 19 tanks stand in a row looks like they are repairing leader not identified. Expect further instructions" it came from the radio.
"Create a circle of 5 km from the enemy base to pay attention to the Allies". Instructed Erika and grinned.
"Typically attack first and then expect no counteraction they are weak" mocked Erika in her thoughts.
"We are in position Mrs. first-Lieutenant" it came from the radio. Erika had a diabolical grin on her face
"ATTACK!" she gave the order and closed the hatch of her tank and immediately the tanks rushed up the hill chain with a loud noise and in a few minutes, they passed the infantry. It was not long before alarm sirens started blaring up in front of them and incomprehensible screams.
"Goal one destroys all tanks! Measure fire to your allies!" Erika ordered over the radio. Immediately a huge thunder erupted from all the tank cannons and fumes broke out in the enemy and mud splashed in all directions. Now bullets hailed against the steel wall of the tank.
"What a desperate act" Erika thought and looked through the vision slit. Tank crews were taken under MG fire while climbing into their vehicles many collapsed because they were hit. Many female soldiers fled in all directions only away from the front Circle the enemy base and stop now the infantry comes in!" Erika commanded over the radio and grabbed an MP40 and a steel helmet and opened the rear exit hatch.
"Hold the position" Erika commanded pushing herself out of the tank. Outside she could hear the whistling of the bullets passing by. She glanced briefly at Miho's tank which had moved sideways to the front and Miho crawled out of the hatch from the loader's position and pressed against the tower to avoid being hit. Behind the tanks the soldiers hid themselves and returned fire. Erika crawled over the tank to shimmy down the engine deck and was helped down by some soldiers to arrive safely.
"Smoke grenades!" She commanded putting on her helmet. At once grenades were thrown in the direction of the enemy who immediately began to create a dense smoke wall.
"Forward! Victory or death!" Erika yelled which was confirmed by a roaring jubilation. All the soldiers stormed to the base. They fired blind into the smoke wall where they suspected the enemies to be. Erika plunged into the fog and found herself next to Miho cowering behind a sandbag wall and giving covering fire Erika pushed Miho a bit behind her to give her some protection. The first foxholes were taken without problems as the enemies retreated more to the inside of the base.
"Miho grab some soldiers and take the supply depot it would have to be 20 meters west from here. When you're done the gathering point is the shelter of the leader of this base." Erika said hastily wiping the sweat from her forehead and looking Miho in the eyes.
"Even with a dirty face you look cute" Erika thought and patted Miho grinning on the shoulder Miho turned to Erika and grinned as well as she leaned forward and gave her a little kiss on the mouth.
"There'll be more afterwards" Miho said winking at Erika. Erika looked puzzled and saw how Miho ducked from the position and started running. That would be the calmness Miho emitted and the kiss sparked a fire in Erika and with great enthusiasm she loaded a new magazine in the MP40 and stood up.
"To victory comrades!" She screamed and jumped out of the trench followed by many soldiers screaming out their intoxicating rage and plunging into the fray with weapons firing at anything that wasnt Axis. The remaining French soldiers were so surprised by the Lightning Battle that the battle lasted less than 10 minutes until all defenders fled killed or surrendered only the command post was still barricaded.

"We should have brought some explosives for this" Erika thought as she looked at the door in front of her.
"Last warning comes out and surrenders otherwise let me open this door with a shell you hear me!" Erika shouted at the door. No reaction behind the door. Erika kicked the door with rage. She stomped immediately to a radio operator and took the speaker.
"Need tank support at the HQ of the enemy!" She threw the speaker away with rage and sat down on a nearby ammunition box. Nervously she tapped her fingers on her upper arm her eyes scowling at the door. Miho slowly came to Erika to sit down next to her on the floor.
"I knew you would win" Miho said staring at the door. Erika just listened but this compliment as it lifted her mood slightly.
Miho reached for Erika's hand and slid her thumb over Erika's back. Erika could not hide her grin. She looked at Miho in her light brown eyes beaming with kindness and joy.
"Thank you for believing in me" said Erika kissing Miho on the back of her hands.
"Now you are cheesy Eririn" Miho teased Erika and giggled.
"You little smurf" said Erika joyfully and took Miho in the sweatbox and rummaged through her hair.
"Stop Eririn, I surrender!" Laughed Miho but enjoyed the tender aura that emanated from Erika. The earth started to shake and a panther got in position. Erika let go of Miho and went to the door again.
"Your last chance is to open the door and surrender otherwise we break down the door with a tank" Erika snarled at the door and heard a rumble behind it. As the door opened Erika slammed the door open and immediately pulled a pistol from its holster and shot a soldier in the head. This one flew in from the force of the shot into the room and stayed in front of her comrades.
"That's for not cooperating immediately" yelled Erika and put away her gun again.
"So where is your leader?" Erika snapped at the other female soldiers.
"Not here" said a soldier looking at Erika with complete disdain.
"Ah...and where is she then if not in your HQ?" Erika mocked trying to suppress the anger in her voice.
"HQ?" The soldier spit out the word contemptuously.
"That's just a distraction you sloppy soldier most of us are already somewhere else" mocked the soldier Erika.
Erika pulled out and hit the soldier with full force on her mouth the blow was so strong that the soldier flew back and laid on the ground. With fear and horror, the soldier looked up at Erika.
"WHERE?" Erika hissed threateningly and took the soldier by the collar and heaved her to her legs. At that moment Miho and Yukari came in and looked around for a moment and saw the scene Miho felt a cold shiver run down on her back she ran to Erika and reached between Erika and the soldier.
"Erika please..." Miho tried to reassure Erika.
"KEEP OUT OF THIS MIHO!" yelled Erika Miho and grabbed her roughly by the arm and pushed her away. Miho lost her balance and landed hard on the floor. Miho immediately got up and reached back between Erika and the soldier. Erika only saw red she was so angry she no longer distinguished from friend and foe. She grabbed Miho by the collar and pushed her roughly against the wall of the shelter. Miho suppressed the physical cry of pain.
"DAMN KEEP OUT OF THIS MIHO!" Erika yelled at her partner again. Erika let go of Miho and turned back to the prisoner
"Eririn ..." Miho said quietly to herself and saw the anger in Erika's eyes now she started to shake while she tried to suppress her tears which unfortunately did not succeed she slumped to the ground and looked at Erika in disbelief. Yukari hurried to Mihos side and helped her up and started to bring Miho out of this nightmare.
"WHERE'S YOUR LEADER!" Erika yelled at the soldier and ignored Miho. The soldier only had panic in her eyes as she looked to her comrades but they watched the spectacle with fear as well.
"She's with the Allies..." said one of the prisoners and was looked at sharply by a female soldier. Erika shuddered and let go of the soldier letting him crash to the ground thoughts circling in her head back and forth.
"We have to report that immediately Miho!" Erika said in a calm tone but got no answer from her.
"Miho?" Erika looked around the dugout but there was no Miho to be found anymore. Erika went out and turned to an NCO
"Take the prisoners away" she ordered looking around the square to find Miho.
"Where is Miho?" Thought Erika and continued to walk off the course.
"Since the cozy hair that's the friend of Miho" Erika went to Yukari.
"Hey you did you see Miho?" Erika asked Yukari.
"Yeah" Yukari said and looked at Erika with disdain.
"And, where is she?" Erika asked irritably.
"With us and there she stays and you will not come near her anymore" Yukari said sharply crossing her arms
"Permitted..." Erika growled but was interrupted by Yukari
"I allow myself to help and protect my friend" Yukari said sharply now approaching Erika menacingly. Erika blushed and gritted her teeth.
"I do not know what you have with Miho but the way you dealt with her and what you did to her was wrong I do not understand what Miho saw in you that she spoke so great about you it was almost defense of you. All meant when she wanted to have you as a reinforcement that it ends in something bad and look at everything now. Miho has been with you all the time almost as if she's in love with you." Yukari slapped Erika. She would endure everything just to help Miho as a good friend.
"Think about what you did to Miho ITSUMI learn to control your anger! And maybe Miho will forgive you!" Yukari hissed at Erika and turned away from Erika.
Erika stood like a pillar of salt completely still and saw Yukari disappear into the Panzer IV. She clenched her fist and began to tremble tears came to her and this time she could not hold them back.
"I've screwed up" Erika thought tears streaming down her cheeks.
