The situation in the village was desperate. The germens were everywhere. Firing machine guns and lobbing grenades at the oncoming invaders. To them, every yard of territory lost was paid in blood. They gave no inch nor spared any quarters to the rescue team. They will fight to the end in defense of the fatherland.
The tanks machine guns rattled away at the germen defenders. But for every Nazi they cut down there seem to be another to take his place. A few tank commanders urged Sean to call off the attack but the he refused to budge. Wounded infantrymen were dragged behind the cover of tanks for the medics to patch up. The situation was desperate.
They have made no advance ever since they entered the town. Still blockaded at the mouth of the village by germen SS troopers that knew their tactics and are going to surrender nor give up to nothing. Infantrymen were demoralized by the heavy and constant fire by the defending germens.
Sean not impressed by the advance he has made demanded radio operator Kelly Bacchant to radio in for some help. Kelly immediately got to work his magic with the radio set to try to persuade the top brass for additional reinforcements.
Even with the three Tiger tank out of the equation, the defenders were already proving to be very troublesome. They even threaten to overwhelm the task force with their sheer numbers. Even so it was currently only machine gun fire erupting from the townhouses around them, Sean knew that there was bound to be more anti tank guns around the place and soon enough they will be added to the firepower in favor of the defendants.

“Commander!” Kelly yelled with his headset dangling from one ear, “Top brass orders you to pull out immediately!”
“Tell them I will take this town if he gives me just some Artillery support.”
Kelly went back to his radio set and seconds later came the reply.
“He is pissed! He has sent out a platoon of three Persist pieces”
“Good” Sean said with a grin.
“And a further 2 Shermans and some machine gunners. You better take that town or you’ll be demoted down the ranks!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make it work.” The commander replied with a much more satisfied face.
Although the help will ease the pain of the defenders, he knew that if he dealt his cards wrongly, they will be overwhelmed by the time help arrives.
