The War That Transcends Timelines! 109 Unexpected Outcome

Location: Manchuria

POV: Local Russian Commander

''Выглядит спокойно в японских окопах'' (Looks calm in the j.a.panese trenches), an observer said casually, ''Keep watch you idiot, who knows what these j.a.ps are going to do...'' I said Harshly, the observer kept looking through his binoculars casually. A few minutes pa.s.s with no words spoken and only having the stillness of the trenches surrounding them. The Observer's eyes widened and just as he opened his mouth, ''Враг заряжа...'' a sniper bullet flew through his head before he could finish his sentence, but I didn't need to know, because all I could hear was, ''BANZAI!''

''WE NEED ARTILLERY FIRE! THE j.a.pS ARE BREAKING THROUGH!'' I shouted over the radio, ''This is Transmanmur command, Vladivostok has fallen I repeat Vladivostok has fallen, we are actively retreating to Siberian outposts. All personnel is to orderly retreat into Siberia.'' The Radio message was broadcasted all around the front. 'f.u.c.k!' I cursed my precarious situation, in the meanwhile, all Russian troops woke up and started to fire at the advancing tanks. I quickly gave control of the front to my second in command while I ran to an old Hangar at the back of the base. At the gate, there was none other than a white skull protecting the entrance.

''This Is high command of Transmanmur, the j.a.ps have landed in Kamtsjatka, we order the 5th Motorised Division to fall back to intercept the enemy forces while Infantry Division 132 and 128 fill the gap as quickly as possible. This is a direct order of comrade Stalin: Order 277! Ни шагу назад!(Not a step back!)'' High command broadcasted to the Officers only.

I was startled by the order but didn't take it too heart and quickly advanced to the Hangar

''Sir!'' The white skull saluted before opening the door, I walked into the Hangar, and there it was, the newly produced Panther tanks, 'provided by Switzerland to help us. High command forbids us from using these, f.u.c.k them!' I ordered the tank crew to a.s.semble and man the tank.

''OPEN THE GATES!'' I shouted. immediately afterwards the ma.s.sive steel doors open up. Without saying anything we charged right forward towards the frontline. ''This is Commander Zhukov, we bring infantry support, repeat infantry support is on the way!''

''WE ARE TAKING HEAVY CASUALTIES! WE NEED MORE SUPPORT AND ANTI-TANK!'' The officers at the frontline shouted, but it was all in vain, the right flank collapsed and soon this front would follow suit, no one knew yet, the 1st major loss for the Organisation.

It took us only 5 minutes to arrive at the front line, ''ENEMY TANKS SPOTTED! FIRE!'' I ordered the tank crew...

Time: 4th of May

Location: Manchuria

POV: j.a.panese Commander of the Manchurian front

I moved my fingers across the tank, it has over a hundred large indentations, ''129 confirmed hits, 7 Penetrations, 2 Full penetrations, the cause of death; internal combustion of the fuel reserves.'' An engineer reported. ''This. This needs to be sent back to our research department at once!'' I ordered the men, ''YES!'' they replied with vigour. 'That tank held back our advance for 1 hour, only after it emptied out its sh.e.l.l reserves did we finally manage to penetrate it from the sides. causing over 1000 deaths and casualties, 47 tanks destroyed, 12 Half-tracks, 8 Armoured cars, 12 SPGs and 7 TDs. This is a cause for fear in this war.' I came to the end of the tank where I lifted my fingers off the cha.s.sis.

I walked with my hands behind my back through the battlefield, 'Did the Emperor take the right side?' I doubted myself as I saw the status report, ''350.000 casualties in the 1st day of fighting, 250.000 at the Russian side and 100.000 at our side, this is still acceptable, but too much than predicted. Continue the advance, re-organise the troops and prepare for the Union's orders. They ensured us they had their weapons coming the following days!'' I ordered my entourage of advisors and lower-ranked officers.

I grabbed a cigar and lit it, 'Ah, nothing above a good cigar after a long exhausting battle.' I looked in the distance when suddenly felt the ground under me vibrate, 'Earthquake?' I a.n.a.lysed my surrounding ground but found nothing, I turned to look behind me, I was too shocked and let the cigar fall out of my gaping mouth.
