The remainder of the battle, where it still raged, was quick and decisive. To the west, the remaining enemy was finished off, fired upon from multiple angles, the last shots more a formality than a necessity. The crews had abandoned the vehicles by the time the shells struck, turning the vehicles into the smeared rubble of a range target.
The northern incursion was similarly series of converging fire upon relatively few targets, almost all knocked out quite quickly, save for the last violence in the woods, where Krogh’s platoon engaged in furious close combat with enemy T-8s, aided from the flank by Splitterschwert’s m/28s. A squad took a bad shell amongst their ranks, but most of the platoon was quickly overwhelmed- and the final vehicle was abandoned as Krogh’s dragoons charged up to finish it off.
Flanking fire and another dragoon charge destroyed one T-15 platoon, leaving the only presence on the battlefield that of a single T-15 platoon. Its final shots chewed one of Lieutenant Martins’ tanks to pieces, but afterwards…they were quiet. After their last shot, it became evident, that they had been abandoned. They did not have confidence in a battlefield they were alone in. With that, things went still- eerily so.
That quiet was interrupted by a rocket artillery barrage in ten minutes, but to the relief of all, it was off target.
By the time Major Yule had gathered up a picture of the complete situation, it seemed as though the fighting had ended. Vynmark’s forces remained on the field, and the Twaryians had left their wounded and smoking wrecks here, forced to retreat after a fierce fight. Was it a victory? Hard to say for sure, yet. It was time to consolidate- and look at what had to be done next…
