I recommend you read the book Great Senshado War first or else some of these one-shots won't make sense.
Takes place during chapter 4
Border Between Little Finland and Pravda
January 18th
Mika was laying prone on her stomach in a small bush in a dense forest, the snow was a few feet tall around her. A small but ferocious snowstorm had started just a few minutes ago obscuring the vision of anybody not use to this weather. She knew that Mikko and Aki lay a few feet to her left and right respectfully.
Bringing some binoculars to her face she looked at the small camp of Pravda troops. She was sure Miho suspected that Pravda was going to attack them at some point especially with what she had said in the meeting, Katyusha certainly hadn't liked that.
The camp had 50-75 tents with a dozen trucks and a few dozen tanks mostly consisting of BT-5 and T-60 with a few BT-7 sprinkled in there. They were in the middle of a small clearing that they had made by cutting the trees in this dense forest. She knew that they were also very isolated from any other Pravda troops as other scouts had confirmed.
She looked up at the sun and saw that it was starting to set, in a few more hours night would fall and she and her crew would sneak into the base and subtly sabotage as many tanks, trucks, and weapons as possible before they would book it out of the camp. Of course, they were gonna steal a few things on the way out, they wouldn't be Jatkosota otherwise.

Nightfall
Mikko started crawling forward towards the campsite, she was in charge of ensuring as many of the tanks would be rendered inoperable and stealing one of the BT-7. Jatkosota could definitely use any tanks they could get since they had been rendered back to simple Renault Ft and Vickers 6 ton tanks, on top of that they had a very lackluster amount of the tanks a measly 70 tanks were in their possession.
Being only a few feet away from one of the tents near where the tanks were parked she heard some soft whispering ahead of her. The System had taught each of the girls their own specific language, it was why she was able to speak fluent Finnish now and why she was currently hearing Russian.
Crouching behind one of the tents she peaked past it to the small campfire close by where two girls sat huddled up looking as if they were freezing to death. Mikko had to thank Mika's insistence that everybody builds an immunity to the extreme cold or else her teeth would surely be chattering loud enough to warn everybody nearby.
Pulling her pistol out she started sneaking her way to the tanks, grabbing the wrench of her belt on the way there. Once behind one of the tanks, she started her work carefully and quietly pulling the wire mesh off and started to mess around with the engines so when they started they would break or even blow up. She was planning to block up the cannons too so when they were fired the cannons would burst.

Aki, near the supplies
Aki shook her head as she looked at all the unpacked ammo crates, clearly, this was a camp of recruits or else they would have unpacked all this stuff. Half of the crates were still in the trucks. Grabbing one of the crates she started dragging it away towards the forest for some scouts to pick up later. The rest went into one of the trucks that she would drive away with Mika.
After around an hour of hard labor with the snow obscuring her movements she was finished with her main job and started working on the piles of guns just sitting inboxes. She rolled her eyes at how unprepared these people were. That took another hour of hard labor to place them in the forests spread around and dug near some specific trees that she had marked for the scouts to pick up later.
After that was all done she sat near the truck she would leave in, a Molotov Cocktail next to her a zippo lighter in her left hand and a small pistol laying in her lap her hand loosely wrapped around it.
She couldn't believe that these Pravda forces had been so ill-prepared that they only had 2 guards huddled by the fire. Clearly, they hadn't been told of the rivalry between Pravda and Jatkosota and how deep it ran, although most of the time it was a friendly one it had started off as a deep feud between the two when Finland and Russia had gone to war during World War 2. It's been back and forth ever since, going a few years of being friendly and then back to feuding.
Shaking her head Aki focused on the here and now and waited for Mika to give the signal, then she would throw her Molotov onto some of the spare crates that she had piled together containing the extra ammo and weapons that she wouldn't have time to move.

Mika near the trucks
Mika was currently under one of the trucks pulling at certain parts, creating a subtle gas leak and cutting the brakes. Anybody who drove these trucks would most certainly crash. Passing by Aki she noticed Mikko finishing up some of the tanks sabotages as she sneaked into the biggest tent.
A bayonet in her hand while the other one held a Zippo lighter, looking around she made sure she was alone before she sneaked up to the table that contained stacks of papers and letters most likely from Little Moskva (Moscow) and she stuffed them into her pockets, looking over at the radio she popped the panel open and grabbed a handful of wires and pulled her knife through them cutting them in half before putting the panel back on.
She was about to leave when her foot hit a small box, looking down she saw some Russian written on it, opening the box she pulled out a uniform.
Having only needed to think about it for more that one second she grabbed the box and made her way out of the tent and back to the truck stuffing it in between some of the other boxes she was about to give the signal when she saw Mikko hiding behind one of the tanks as two of the Pravda girls had made they're way there.
Trusting Mikko to be okay she took this opportunity to check each tent for the one that contained food, finding the cooking tent she ducked into it and made her way to the back of the rather large tent. Using her knife she cut away just enough of the fabric so she could slip through it.
Aligning the boxes next to the hole she crawled through it and grabbed three boxes of food and made her way back to the truck and had put the food into the truck just in time to hear two thundering gunshots break through the soft hissing of the snow falling.

Mikko
Mikko had just finished sabotaging the last tank right next to the BT-7 she was gonna steal, she had just fitted the wire mesh back onto the engine block when she heard two voices behind her. Spinning around and grabbing her pistol which had rested right next to the engine block she saw the two Pravda guards which she had thought had gone back to the campfire right behind her both of them holding a rifle.
She cursed under her breath as the girls pointed their rifles at her, they were shaking both from the cold and having caught and intruder. Adrenaline pumping through each of the girls. Mikko barely had time to think as her body reacted, she pulled the trigger twice as she rolled off the tank onto the ground.
She hit the ground hard, losing her breath for a few seconds but she heard two other bodies thud on the ground. One of the girls was screaming out in pain. Getting back up she glanced at the girls and saw that she shot one in the chest her eyes were glassy and already a pool of blood had started staining the snow surrounding the girl. The other one was shot in the shoulder was blabbering and crying as she clutched her wound. She cringed at the sight of them both a bit of bile rising up her throat, swallowing it down she remembered Mika orders of not allowing anybody that saw them live.
She leveled the gun once more squeezed the trigger and muttered a small prayer for both girls that lay dead in the ground. Turning around she rushed over to the BT-7 opened the hatch to the driver's seat.
She threw her pistol into the tank and stumbled around with her Zippo lighter and her Molotov as her hands were shaking both tools at what she had just done. Flipping the Zippo lighter open a small flame flickered and was brought to the cloth at the end of the bottle setting it on fire, she spotted one of the BT-7 and chucked it, it crashed into the tank and small fire immediately erupted on the engine block.
Diving into the driver's seat she quickly started the engine not paying attention at the girls exiting their tents all groggy and panicked. The engine roared to life as she pressed on the gas and the tank lurched forward. A shot or two pinged against the tank as it raced past the girls into the forest and towards the Jatkosota border.

Aki next to her "new" truck
Aki briskly got up as she heard the two gunshots, the snow fell off her as she grabbed her Molotov and lit the cloth at the end of it and lobbed it at the crates of ammo. Picking up her gun she slid into the driver's seat and started hot-wiring the truck. Although this was Mikko's expertise she could get by as a driver and everybody in the tankery team learned the basics of thievery.
She heard another gunshot as Mika slid next to her slamming her door behind her. The truck started and Aki slammed the gas pedal to the floor as the truck lurched forward and headed towards the forest leaving tracks in the snow behind them that would be covered come morning.
As they were making they're way out of the base she heard the ammunition start to cook off as small explosions happened in the camp, looking in the mirror it looked as if Mika had set off both the command tent and the food tent on fire.
I hope you guys enjoyed this one-shot following the Jatkosota Girls as they get up to they're stealing mischief once again. Anyway's hope you enjoyed this please let me know what you think of this so far. Thank you for all the support.
