Hallo once again, Kameraden! Chapter Four is here, hope you like it!

Guben, German-Polish border~~~
Christofs POV:

"Listen to me. I just heard that Kommandant Richtofen just attacked at Poznan! I thought we were just supposed to be guarding our side of the border!" Christof slammed the phone back down onto its receiver and walked out of the building. He was speaking with a delegate from the School Council who refused to believe that the Polish had attacked first. Looking to his left he saw his Karabiner 98 lying next to the wall of the building and slung it over his back. Calling over two other riflemen to follow with him he walked over to the infirmary.

Christof walked up to the entrance, stopped by one of the medics who told him he couldn't enter.
"Listen, I need to see someone in there. I'll be right out."
"Sir, it's policy, you can't go in." The response ticked Christof off.
"Either you let me in, or you'll find yourself infront of the Field Marshall!"
The medic moved over and allowed them in. Christof motioned for the two riflemen to stand guard at the entrance. He realized his Karabiner was still loaded, he removed the cartridge, put it into his pocket and walked into one of the medical rooms where he saw Erika sitting on a chair next to Maho.

"Vice-Kommandant" Christof said, taking off his cap and saluting. Erika returned the salute. "Kommandant" Christof saluted Maho and she returned the salute. "Our forces pushed back the Polish force, Kommandant. They performed as expected."

"Yes, they did. I have something to say though, Erika, may you leave us?" The Kommandant wanted to speak to Christof in private. Erika obliged and left the room. "Christof, you're anxious aren't you? I suppose you've heard of the Field Marshalls actions?" He was surprised, she had already known? "Yes, I have, Kommandant." Maho motioned for Christof to sit down next to her. "You don't have to be so formal now. Erika isn't here." Maho had by now noticed that whenever Erika had been around Christof would become more formal. Christof put his Karabiner down next to the chair and sat down. "Now, tell me what you're thinking about." Maho asked. "Well first off, I'd loove to have a small talk with Von Richtofen. Who does he think he is? He can't just go around attacking places like Poland!" Maho cut him off. "Christof. You understand the Field Marshall outranks you ten times over? If you try to do anything, he can just change your positions, and I'm sure my mother won't get in the way, because of her hatred of Tatakai-Do." Maho did have a point. He had just let his mind get too ahead of him. "I guess you're right. I would still love to -" He was cut off again when one of the riflemen entered the room. "Sir, Polish scouts have been spotted above the hill. We fired an artillery shell and they retreated. We are guessing they're part of the group that attacked us, and we think they retreated to Wezyska." The rifleman stopped and noticed Maho sitting in one of the chairs. "Kommandant!" He saluted, Maho returned the salute, almost laughing. "Prepare the half-tracks and get the men ready. We're heading to Wezyska. Let's get this over with."

Tiger 212; Road 32; Poland~~~
Mahos POV:

"Kommandant, are we really invading Poland? I thought we were just securing the border." The loader of Tiger 212 has always been one to ask a lot of questions. "Yes, we're invading. They hit us first, so we're retaliating." She lied about that last part, but her crew didn't need any moral failings. She knew how bad those were, as she was a victim of one back at the school. Erikas voice came over the headphones. "Maho, what were you and Christof talking about back at Guben? Was it private?" She emphasized that last part. "Why do you ask? Either way, it's not your business." Maho looked back at Erika. She was standing in the cupola of her Tiger II and waved at Maho. "Well, I'm asking because he's on the half-track to your right." Maho looked over, and sure enough there he was. "Get ready, we're nearing Wezyska." She peeked to her right and saw Christof raising his Karabiner, he looked as if he was giving a speech of sorts. In a few seconds the rest of the people in his half-track raised their weapons. The half-tracks and flak trucks moved ahead of the tank column to take out some resistance and allow the tanks to roll through more easily.

A few minutes later she saw some smoke coming up from the town. There was a slight buzzing sound and some Polish aircraft flew nearby, then the flak began popping up. These black clouds took out the Polish aircraft as if they were flies.
"Alright, prepare ammunition, we're going in." The tanks shifted into gear and began moving towards the small town of Wezyska. As they approached the edge of town, they saw some of the Polish teams gear lying around, along with a few scattered students from Kuromorimine. It appeared that their team had been winning the battle, but they could not know for sure until they arrived at the center.

As the tank group moved closer to the center of the city they saw some Kuromorimine flak trucks parked in the streets, firing at the skies. They waved and the flak crews waved back at them. Now getting closer to the fighting and hearing scattered shots, Maho ordered all commanders to turn in from their hatches so as to not get hit. After turning in, Maho radioed in for a situation report from the forward group of infantry, the report would be heard over the radios of all the tanks so they wouldn't have to call in one by one.
"This is Tiger 212 to November One, what's the situation down there?" She asked to whoever might have been listening on the other side. A few moments passed and Maho was getting somewhat worried. Then a voice came through, it was one of their first-year students. His voice came through as panicked and short of breath. "Th-This is November One-Act-Actual, we've been ambushed by the Polish schools and pulled into a firefight in the center of town!" The boy stopped for a breather, in the background the pinging of bullets off walls and sounds of people yelling orders came through. "We request immediate assistance or we might lose this town!" The boy stopped speaking.
"All panzer units, move full speed to the center of town." The Kommandant looked out through the cupola and saw tracers going out from the square, she wondered if Christof was doing well, or maybe he had been captured. She couldn't know until they got there.

Town Center, Wezyska, Poland~~~~
Christofs POV:

Christof looked around him, although small, the Polish T26s could take the wall out of a building with an HE shell. He looked down and saw a piece of wall on his leg, no wonder he had trouble moving. He looked around and saw Lieutenant Wittman crouched next to a remaining piece of the wall with his Karabiner.
"Lieutenant! Come here!" Christof called out to Wittman, he came over and helped lift the slab off of Christofs leg. Christof thanked him and motioned for the Lieutenant to follow him. As they moved deeper inside the building, they began hearing the Polish and decided to try and sneak up on them. As they walked up next to the door from where the voices emerged, Wittman lined up behind Christof. They would run into the room and use shock to overcome the people inside.

They waited a minute or two and then ran in. Wittman leveled his Karabiner and hit one of the Poles, Christof fired his Karabiner and hit another Pole. They reached the other side of the room and swung around, facing the entrance but noticed three other Polish students leveling their weapons. One hit Christof in the leg, sending him to the ground and Wittman got hit in the chest. As the Polish students walked towards them to capture them, Christof pulled out his Luger and hit two square in the chest. The last one was about to fire at Christof when the wall behind him exploded into bits, sending the boy running for cover. After the smoke cleared, Christof saw the boy attempting to run out of the room. Christof shot him in the back. He looked to his left and saw Wittman coming to his senses. Looking back out the wall, there was a hull of a T34, white flag out of the top. A Tiger II stood infront of it, its turret facing the blown wall.

"Wittman, get up slowly. Don't jump. That may be one of ours but they do not wait with their MGs." Christof advised Wittman. The two, after fully coming to raised their hands above their heads and stood. The commanders hatch popped open and Erika stood. Christof picked up his Karabiner and walked up to the side of the tank. Erika looked down the side of the tank to the two boys. She looked angry. "Why the hell were you two in that goddamn building on the floor!?" She looked at Christof. "And you! Why the hell did you just shoot at him and not capture him! We could have taken him hostage!" They let Erika cool off before speaking up.
"Vice-Kommandant" Christof began. "That Pole should still be down. We can capture him. Also, what in the hell are you doing yelling at us!? You could be out there hitting the remaining T34s and helping us capture the rest of this goddamn town!" Erika looked like she was taken back by Christofs outburst. She didn't waste time on the comeback, though. "I'm the one in the tank here! Do you think that you should be arguing with the person in the tank?" They both stopped arguing for a second. A window opened from a two story building next to them and they looked up.

Mahos face poked out. "So, I hear you two are having an argument? My crew have been up here and we think that you guys should just kiss and make up, what do you think, Christof?" Christof looked awe struck. How was he supposed to answer to that? He tried to form words but ended up embarrassing himself more. Erika started laughing her ass off. Maho started up again. "Good, now that everyone is shut up, I have an announcement. We will be staying the rest of the week here as reinforcements arrive from Guben. Hold the position and for the sake of everyone around you, do not argue with your comrades." Maho closed the window and the streets fell silent. Christof walked off to a staging center where the remaining infantry were and Erikas crew parked their Tiger II and fell into the building where Maho was.
