Defense at Vollsjo
by Apocalypse

Based on the Scania Campaign by LHI - developed by Los


 
The silence of the commanders tank was suddenly interrupted by the cackling of the radio.   
 
The entire crew could hear the unmistakable voice: the Battalion commander of the 228th Mech Battalion was speaking loudly and rapidly firing instructions to his subordinate commander like a machine gun. 
 
"Yes sir, immediate Torrike attack against Vollsjo", "yes sir. immediate evacuation of government personnel from Vollsjo" repeated the company commander, vocalizing it loud enough so that he could confirm his tasks and prepare to pass them to his subordinates. After a short exchange and confirmation of his new mission, the captain jumped from his turret to the side of his tank where his First Sergeant and XO were waiting.
 
The captain, who hadn't slept in 72 hours was pushing himself beyond his physical limits. His home was near the Torrike border and rumors were circulating that his wife and two children were missing and presumed dead. Some of the men in the company were from the area and were quite literally fighting in their own back yards
 
"Sir, does he know that we only have a handful of tanks and a few civilians defending?" quipped the First Sergeant. "Of course he does" the Captain quickly responded then turned to the XO, "bring the platoon leaders to my vehicle immediately". 
 
Moments later the XO returned with two lieutenants and a staff sergeant.

"Gentlemen, we've received word from the Battalion Commander and here's the situation: 

2nd Company will attack in our north, towards Frannigen. They are stepping off in approximately 30 minutes and we've been ordered to HOLD Vollsjo.
 
A Torrike Mechanized Infantry Battalion is mounting a counter-attack against Vollsjo to seize the bridges. We suspect that they will attack along two axis - to the north and from the east. They will attack with three companies spread between each axis, each supported with a platoon of tanks. We expect that their Battalion scout platoon is already observing us and will initiate movement shortly. We expect the enemy to employ their organic mortars and also artillery to suppress our forces. 
 
It is also possible that the Torrike's will reinforce their MIBN with a second tank company that will attack with their recon element. And if that wasn't enough - we're also hearing that the enemy will be supported by helicopter gunships.
 
We expect civilians to flee there village but there are also 20 civilian government employees in Vollsjo that we MUST evacuate. They have made a valiant effort in keeping the essential services of Vollsjo functioning so that the Home Guard could survive, but the governor has issued the order for their immediate evacuation and we will need to evacuate them to prevent their deaths or capture - the Battalion commander has sent a mounted element to assist us with that task, but they are coming from the north, through disputed area.
 
We are expecting enemy scouts to make contact with us in approximately 8 minutes, and with their main body in 20 minutes. We must hold the bridges. Are there any questions?"
