Abbeville US HQ
Situation: 1 Heavy armor division, 1 Mechanized rocket artillery and 1 Infantry divisions are resting and defending Abbeville.
“Jerrys? Coming toward our location? Weren’t they suppose to come to Tanteville? I mean I’m not ready to defend”
“Uhh yeah I’m surprised that we are the ones defending…I’ve sent out a Sherman”
“I sent a staghound and couple of infantry, light recon will do the job, we can kick jerry asses for show-ing their ugly faces out here, lets greet them the American way!”
“SIR YES SIR!”
Moments before Axis arrival:
Alpha and Bravo headed out to scout. “Is this the right way sarge?” one finally asked after they were passed few hedgerows and chateau. “Right here, the Krauts are coming right here!” a sudden howl got each of them surprised. “Wha-“ Before anyone could open their mouths heavy bombardment of 210mm rockets slaughtered the entire squad within seconds.
“Sarge that came from Alpha and bravo’s direction!” Charlie squad soldier would exhale. The squad proceeds onward and without a warning they faced the same fate with one man surviving from it.
HQ: Extra Sherman and few rifle-squads inbound to replace the losses. Hold your positions! They are here! Their all ugly too
Calliope Commander smirked to himself as he marked the coordinates on the map. He would yell at the gunners. Two calliope turrets turned. “MAKE ‘EM SUFFEEEER!” he screamed as the rockets flew to slaughter German infantry. Few rocket volley’s later the commander sipped his cola to cure his head-ache when he saw SS troops pop out of the fields and fire their panzershrecks at the tank. In the end both Calliopes were KIA.
Combat continues and heavy Armor begins to push in. “BLOODY HELL TIGER!” echoed in HQ’s Radio.
“Alpha to Ant-nest alpha to ant-nest under heavy fire, we are sustaining ca-SSHH se SHHH ELP! *Panther’s tracks echoes in the background before radio dies into static sounds.
“THERE’S TOO MANY OF THEM! SEND ANTI TANK WEAPONRY FOR FUCK SAKES!” echoed in another radio.
“We lost Chateau! Grenadiers are all over the place supported by their damn anti tank guns!”
Experienced Sherman crew fought desperate battle versus P4 and Tiger. “Kraut in sight, FIRE!” a hot shell dropped down on the floor and the lock would echo. “RELOADED!” The commander stared at the optics feeling desperate. The tanks hull was full of gunpowder smell and few electric damages due to hits. “´God damn Tin can’s a death trap!” the driver yelled as he was hitting the gear. Sherman fired, 76mm Shell impacted on Panther's hull damaging it badly. “Good shot William your skill still hasn’t betrayed you!” Commander said with a wide smirk. “Fall back Reverse you idiot REVERSE They are over running us!” Commander screamed Radio echoed. “Panther! It’s a fuckin’ panther! Right behind you Armor six RIGHT BEHIND YOU PANTHER AT YOUR SIX!” Commander turned optics just to see a Panther crush the hedgerow behind them. “Mother a mercy-“ was the commander’s last words as 75mm High velocity Shell penetrated the tank and hit the ammo shell and blew up the whole tank. The commander ma-naged to crawl out from the tank coughing. He leaned his backside against the burning tank’s flank while he held his guts inside his stomach, he had a nasty cut on his stomach. He panted silently and heard when Nebelwerfer fired in the background. He followed the rockets that landed upon a infantry squad and a mortar squad. Incendiary flames swallowed the troops and filled them with terror. MG42s and Rifles fired at the burning soldiers. Their moral decreased and they ran off after most of their comrades died.
The tank commander dug out a small photo of his family. The last thing he saw was a Panzer drive over his body and his destroyed tank’s hull crushing it totally. “Los los soldaten, vorwartz!” German officers encouraged the soldiers to move onward.
Field Squads: “We got the Tiger, We fuckin’ got the tiger! Its dead! Its dea- ARghh ambusSHHZZZ” Squad after squad died during combat.
Light Recon reports: Anti tank guns destroyed, light infantry forces destroyed, this horde ain’t gonna- what the? Our comrade hit a mine! What the hell, drive drive Tommy we ran into a panther, shoot it with a phosphor round they’ll shit in their pants haha” Stun fire was shot and most of them escaped however one of the T17s got a rear hit and driver and the gunner died immediately while rest of the crew was wounded. The T17 drove to a wall and lit on fire leading to its ammunition and fuel to explode killing rest of the crew entirely. Second T17 with Engine damage exploded as well. Veteran crew escaped with light repairs, however met their fate by the same panther.
At the daybreak, a white flag hung upon the US HQ. Infantry commander had shot himself to avoid court marshal for sending infantry without any support to be slaughtered by enemy artillery. Armored Com-manders took it calmly and swore: “Next time bloody krauts, we’ll show you”
Abbeville was in ruins after that day, most of the buildings destroyed due to heavy artillery fire and combat. Wehrmacht Flag waves in the Chateau’s flagpole. Captured American infantry were sent to prison camps.
