The system changed the law of the world itself. Now I am given the chance to choose the rout I wanted.
And thus my decisions shall alter the entirety of the world. From the meagre choice to the end of the world.
Now the system showed me a choice, for the final assault. It has given me 3 option, to choose from.
The first is to Cross the last bridge across the Rhine river. Take control of it and push the entire attack force through the bridge to attack the enemy.
The advantage of the first option. Is that, we will be able to receive armoured support for the final battle. And with the bridge on our hand the advance into enemy territory will progress significantly.
However with this option, If we fail to secure the bridge. The attack will fail. And there is a chance that they will blowup the bridge with us on it, and destroying our entire armoured division.
The second option is to assault the enemy defense across the Rhine river. Directly by amphibious landing vehicles. And land directly on the other side similarly like the beach landing.
The advantage of the second option is that we can just directly attack the enemy. By relying on speed. We could catch the enemy unprepared.
However, an attack comprising of only infantry may not be enough to take down the enemy. And unlike the d-day landing. We don't have the numbers for waves upon waves of assault.
Plus battling across the river meaning we can't receive armoured support. Plus if we do this, we might not have a way to retreat. So we would need to commit an all or nothing assault, to have even a slightest chance of victory.
If we fail then the entire infantry regiment. Will be wiped out and we will lose our chance of taking the Rhine.
The third choice is a combined attack on all fronts. By sending the entire infantry regiment to land across the river by all means. Such as boats, amphibious vehicles and even swim across.
Then the armoured units, will do a full assault across the bridge. Without a single doubt and care about loses.
While a small detachment is sent through the swamp area to the South. They will slip through the enemy their and destroy the enemies defensive artillery. Then secure the bridge from the other side.
From this option we will be able to commit all of our forces on the attack. And lessen the chance of getting ambushed or crippling our advance.
However this entire plan relies heavily on the small detachment. If they succeed, we will win. If they fail or didn't make it in time , for the main assault. Then the entire attack would fail and the entire army will be destroyed.
I took my time to consider my options laid before me. What should I choose.Becuse even with the systems help my actual combat prowess is almost exactly similar to that of a soldier.
So I can't sway the course of the battle with my powers alone.However I'm certain there is only one definite answer in my mind.
So we decided to go with the third option. Me Collins and our remaining members of our team.Will be the detachment sent to cripple the enemy and to secure the bridge.
We gathered our supplies and went to the South. Using a small landing vehicle we went through the swamp. We didn't used the engine in fear of alarming the enemy.
Once we reached the swamp, using wooden oars. We rowed across the swamp towards the clearing near the edge of the river.
Then we covered the vehicle near the muddy parts of the swamp to hide it. Then I lead the men. Sneaking through the trees houses and fields undetected. On a small hill we saw it. The enemies artillery set on a row upon row in the fields hidden by bushes around it. Without as much as a single soul near it.
We decided to split up and sabotage the artillery, separately. So we can avoid being captured in large numbers should something unexpected occurs.
We used thermite grenades to sabotage the barrel of the artillery s. It is set on a 60 second timer so we should finish planting them and get out before that. Because the sparks will light up and attract attention form the enemy.
Everything was going according to plan. I went to the rendezvous point. And then Collins arrived soon after.
However suddenly the enemy alarms went off. The entire enemy army was aware of our existence. Turns out the rest of our team was cornered.
They hold up in a house near the main road. Enemies flooding towards their position. They are surrounded, by the enemy there is no way we could get to them.
Collins whispered to me
" what should we do? "
" We can't just leave them here. "
I thought to myself. Our best option is to go ahead on the mission and leave them to their faith. However, I couldn't just leave them just like that.
("What should I do? ")
Using a flashlight they flick the flashlight on and off. Their gave us a signal. it says
"Go, finish, the mission, leave us".
I told Collins.
" Wrong should go now! "
"With them distracting the enemy, we could slip by undetected to the bridge and secure it. "
Collins replied.
"No!!!! "
" We can't just leave them to die!!! "
I told him.
"it's what they would've wanted. "
" If we don't finish our mission our army will perish in the attack! "
"If we fail all of our comrades, who sacrificed themselves, for us. "
" All of them would have died in vain! "
Collins sighed in regret and grieve for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth and pushed himself to go forward.
Then we went directly to the bridge. With the enemy garrison distracted by them. We managed to slip past undetected.
When we reached the bridge. We saw it, the main unit started their attack on the enemy. And the armoured division started to attack across the bridge.
We had little time left. So we decided to split up and finish the mission. Collins went to defuse the bombs on the bridge as quickly as possible. And I would secure the bridge of enemy presence.
As Collins went to work defusing the explosives on the bridge. I went through the entire outpost near the bridge killing all the enemy inside. Then I went towards the remaining enemies on the bridge defending it.
As the Tanks collum rolled across the bridge. Collins managed to disarm the explosives before they managed to blow the bridge to smithereens.When he went back up he saw the bloodied corpses of the enemies guarding the bridge.
He knew that as the tanks went through and the infantry took over the enemy positions. It signifies our victory over the enemy. And thus , all of our fallen comrades can rest in peace knowing we have won.
Thus the story of this world has ended. In the end the allied troops marched through the bridge crossing into the heart of the enemy lands.
When they finally reached the capital. We have won the war. Over 60 million people lost their lives.
All including men ,women and children. Civilians died in the midst of the chaos. Now can rest in peace at last.
Thanks to us winning battle after battle. We managed to make a quick end to the war. Saving the lives of Millions. From suffering, of the war.
At the end of it all. My soul desynchronized from the body of David the soldier. And went on the endless void.
The system notification appeared.
