Carefully timed and coordinated airstrikes and preregistered artillery barrages on supply dumps, jumping-off points and tank laagers was but a taste of things to come for the shocked Tans. Before they had a chance to recover from the onslaught, Green mechanized formations tore into key weak points in the Tan lines. Spearheading these formations were a few of the very rare supertanks, brought in on short notice through a miracle of logistics and operational security to give the offensive the greatest chances of success. The Tans had no idea these monsters were in the area, right up until the lead unit had punched through the shattered forward positions on Zucchini Ridge and turned to roll up the entire line.
Reports across the front are echoing the same results: burning enemy armor, ruined bunkers choked with the dead and dying and the backs of fleeing Tans as far as the eye can see.
