December 29, 1940
Allied-French Front
-This is Headquarters. Report indicates the French Army has committed new model tanks.
These tanks appear capable of countering the new model Panzer IV. All units be advised.
“Fucking hell, for basic infantry like us, even the old tanks are a fucking threat, and now they're saying even more troublesome bastards have shown up?”
Sergeant Kocher spat out a curse at the message from the radio, but that wasn't what was important to Carius.
The MG34 Machine Gun, which he had considered such a heavy burden, was mounted on its tripod, spewing out endless gunfire and showing off its reassuring presence.
Beside him, a private was assisting the firing, holding the ammunition belt with his hands to keep it from tangling, and he could see the French soldiers charging the machine gun Carius was firing from his position on the hill fall one by one.
