Last stand at Remich

(October 12th - Axis Discussions)
(OKH) Unterfeldwebel Kenki reported from Remich: " I join up in the naval river town of Sierck-les-Bains to liberate the town of Remich from enemy hands. We arrive on the scene and other then the enemy finishing thier captures we find the city oddly quiet other then sparce engagements. I leave the opel driver wielding my light machine gun. Wile most of the main force attacked the south end I flanked from the north and gained three captures seeing the occational corpse of a british soldier. I head near the dock when anouther opel driver appears but when I join him as he heads to the city instead of the east armybase which was my intent. Mean while Prt. Supremus captures the dock which was critcal in the defence of the town, I advance tword the east army base. As I cross the bridge I encounter enemy sniper fire, rather countless times, non-of which hit me but it was very unnerving. I send out communications about the sniper and a friendly tank comes, but as I was on a time limit I had to cross anyway and continued to take sniper fire as I headed east, south of my final target.

As this is going on reports of enemy fbs are screamed on the communication channels, heavy infantry brigades and armor headed for the town as well as a para op of four men. We lacked the man power to hold the town and rapidly began losing men.

I arrive to the Armybase, steathfully expecting resistance yet not finding any and begin my capture when the Pvt comes to help. Enemeys are gaining a lot of cps and our resistance is faiding due to fatuged supplies. The Pvt and I secure the armybase. After five minutes of resistance eventually we had to give up and pull back. However I told them I would stay and defend untill our reinforcments arrive. The Pvt considered the city lost and abandoned his post.

Anouther 10 minutes later the defences of the east army base take out a few of the enemys inexperenced personel but I begin the hear the sounds of bedferd trucks. I set up my Light machine gun and mow down an enemy soldier. Lucky they wernt expecting a defender in the army base.

Anouther 5 min pass. They gained over three quarters of they city. Occational enemy officers and bedferds come but the armybase defence takes them out I sigh I relief. Being jumpy as hell after reports of more CPs are captured.

Four more mins pass. The enemy tries agian to get into the army base. First one enemy officer charges full blazen into it and I mow him down like the first one.. but my drum is out, I quickly replace it seeing two more enemy soldiers rushing in.. lucky they were sloppy and didnt have enough reaction time to take me out and I mowed both of them down.

Agian Sighing in relief.. Paratroopers have arrived, reinforcements at least.. they regain some ground but unfortunatly it was just a small moment as they took them out.. leaving me alone once agian.

Para forces heading to enemy fbs try to arrive to stop the enemy from flooding the city but it is too late. They captured the last standing structure before my position.. The docks...

Two mins pass after the docks are down. A few of what was left of frendlys took out some of the enemy force but were overran, leaving me trapped. Supplies never arrived in time. The ground rumbles... enemys begin to try to kill me by placing satchel charges. They try agian and agian but fail. Eventually the sapper trys to rush me but I got the drop on them and kill them before much dmg was done.

The enemy thought enough was enough... My was sweat dropping extrealy bad and I had began to be afraid hearing the rumble of enemy tanks firing on the bunker. It was shaking wildly, they made shots from the door, moving down the coridor slowly.. aganizidly slow... trying to hit me in my position... I find the rounds becomming way to close and I pull away... unfortunatly this ended in disaster as I had remade my position below the stairway not knowing an enemy soldier had enemy snuck in.

I ready my light machinegun knowing I will die, and in a quick burst of smg bullets I die.. Shot in the back by Enemy Officer Lt. Imded. They captured the city after my death."
