Case Alnus

Chapter 2

German troops were lined up at the entrance, after months of preparation, it had come to this, the first strike into the enemy

Morale was high, they were about to explore a new world and gain territories for the reich

Then, Rommel gave the order 'Alnus'

Vehicles drove through the gate, after hours of driving, they saw light, they stopped at a barrier blocking the exit, and then blew it up with a tank, and then vehicles flooded out the gate and started shooting at imperials who were suprised, the hill was secured in minutes, troops and vehicles lined up at the hill slope, Rommel was using his binoculars to see the imperials, they were preparing to charge up, which failed when Rommel ordered artillery to shell their positions, and then troops and vehicles rushed down the hill, which suprised the imperials, and then caused a rout, some of the enemy commanders and a general were caught, at 7:00 AM, Rommel ordered a halt in the advance and to position at the bottom of the hill, at 8:00 AM, a large swastika flag was raised on Alnus for everyone nearby to see

Engineers quickly got to work building temporary tents for soldiers and other stuff, defenses were quickly reinforced for anymore attacks

Rommel gave an order at 9:00 AM to start sending out scouting teams with tanks and artillery at the ready, since planes are not available yet, aerial surveilance was unavailable until a runway could be established

Vehicles rolled as they went scouting, some of them met friendly villages, some with magic information as well, there was also military information, there were also villages loyal to the empire, so anyone that attacked them were immediately destroyed, there was also an elven village which attacked a unit with arrows, so tanks and troops entered the village and killed everyone, and then burnt the village to the ground

Hitler also visited Alnus, he was proud of the troops, he said that the war would be over within one year, which excited the troops

After weeks of scouting, the base was mostly done, planes were up and running, the walls were up and etc.

The only thing now was to blitzkrieg...

Aerial surveilance found masses of troops in a city called Italica, so Rommel ordered a rapid encirclement of the city

Troops and vehicles rushed, the enemy was oblivious to what was going on

The encirclement was soon finished, artillery rained on the city

Pina was confused, what was going on?

Then, she saw it, the enemy from Alnus...

She realized, they were surrounded!

German troops rapidly blew up the gates, then light tanks and troops immediately went through, destroying the defenders, they rushed to the mansion in the city, and quickly took care of the maids there, the leadership was arrested and the swastika was over the city

500,000 Imperial troops were captured or lost...

German troops soon reorganized defenses and prepared for more attacks...

At another place, German troops were on their way to Sadera, nothing could stop them as imperial troops were simply blown aside, morale was high, They were ready to blow the city to smithereens, the swastika will fly on Sadera

Rommel looked at the map, 2 army groups were on the move with a crushing blow to the imperial army dealt with at Italica, He wanted an encirclement at Knappnai but it would overstretch supply lines and there would not be enough troops to guard both siders of the encirclement, so that plan was postponed to next month, all movement was to Sadera, and to the vassal states, there was not going to be any disturbment for months due to a crushing blow to the imperial army, it was the first month and things are going slowly since it would take months for the enemy to rebuild their armies
