Airborne Rescue!

The 5th Infantry Division was pinned down in their base in Sturzdorf. The red and black flags of the Axis infantry was atop every critical choke point and resource sector. They were facing against the 6th Sturm Truppen Division.

Several riflemen tried to do an early attack. Marching off in haste to take fuel depots off in the north. Some engineers tried to secure the munitions and fuel depots to the south east yet a group of Axis infantry showered them with bullets.

An motor bike rushed to take out the engineers yet they managed to escape successfully. An Axis MG squad positioned themselves across the open road. Two squads of riflemen die to their suppressive fire with a bike chasing after them.

Axis infantry now also carried small grenades that would stun thus making them easier to kill. It looked bleak for the 5th infantry division.

2 squads of ace drivers and gunners took the challenge. Using their skill, they maneuver their M8 Greyhound to fend off the impending defeat. HQ has already requested for support yet due to the weather, it appears that help might not come in time. Yet, the M8 crew manage to kill of several infantry and even several Puma Armored Recons. The first German assault tank to come out was the Stug. The M8 crew feared for their lives yet they said they would do all they can to defend against it.

The roar of an engine overhead signaled help has arrived. An AT gun drops from the skies and an engineer crew quickly mans it. With the AT's help, the 2 M8s manage to crush the Stugs and push the Axis back. Squads of paratroopers begin their descent over Sturzdorf. Reclaiming the fuel and munitions depots from the enemy.

The Axis commander, in a rage for losing his vehicles, sends out his main volksgrenadier division with pioneer and AT gun support. A lone group of riflemen stood in horror as the bullets whizzed the battlefield. They almost get pinned down when a strike plane swooped low. Firing at the bulk of the Axis infantry and taking a whole group of them.

The Airborne company has arrived and the counter attack begins...
