Soviet Tanks VS Japanese Infantry

"Ladies and gentlemen..." Saber begins and turns her attention to her audience.


"Before we start, I would just like to ask you something was the Great War horrible?"


"Of course it was and still is. All those lives lost for nothing, frankly it wasn't worth it" Ironwood scoffs.


"Well what if I told you that Earth has also had a Great War, not once. But twice, with no aura, no robots, no stupidly complicated weapons. Just men, guns and a whole lot of fucking explosives?" Saber leans into her chair and crosses her legs.


"No aura. No robots to replace losses. How we're they even able to replace losses?" Ironwood shudders thinking about the possible losses.


"There are a lot of reasons, but I won't get into the specifics just yet. We have other times to deal with it but not right now" Saber says.


"Now what your about to see is not for the feint of heart, you may or may mot have nightmares for a few days watching this" Saber warns and flicks buckets near everyone.


"Though I suppose you could learn something from this" Saber muses to herself and sits down.


The screen begins glowing, revealing Russian BT-5's rolling down a slope towards the Japanese convoy.


"Its an attack, sir" says Adam says to Ren beside him.


"Adam?" Blake says looking down at her feet.


"You know him kitty cat?" Yang asks her partner.


"Sort of. But not anymore" Blake says leaning into Yang's shoulder.


"Get ready for battle" Ren shouts out to his soldiers.


An officer runs off towards the rear barking out orders.


"Block up the front with trucks!"


"Move the trucks up front!"


"The rest to the frontline of defense!"


The Soviet tanks open fire on the Infantry running around the field, as the Japanese soldiers return fire with their artillery guns


"Poor bastards..." Qrow laments at the sight.


"Wait. Don't they have aura? They're soldiers aren't they?" Weiss asks out of the blue.


"What? Of course not, most of these universes don't have aura, especially earth" Saber answers.


Everyone looked shocked at the revelation, and turn to the screen in horror.


"Then... That means... Ren!" Nora shouts clinging to her partner worried for his counterpart on screen.


"No aura. No robots. Two Great Wars. How can you all stomach this bloodshed" Ozpin asks feeling disturbed.


"You ain't seen nothing yet professor... And to answer your question. We can't, for now we cling on to a very fragile notion of peace..." Saber whispers to him.


"To the frontline of defense!"


Japanese soldiers and trucks rush towards the Soviet tanks, but one Japanese soldier tries to run away but us hut by a tank shell.


Carnage ensues as an artillery gun gets destroyed crushing a soldier underneath it. As Ren and the Japanese soldiers close the gap between them and the advancing Soviet tanks.


"I never got to ask Ms. Saber but what are those vehicles. They don't look like trucks but they aren't robots as well" Penny asks.


"Well Penny and everyone, what those vehicles are called tanks, they were developed during World War 1 as a means to end the brutal trench warfare in the western front. The specific models you see here are the BT-5's" Saber asks, earning a few nods in the crowd.


"Specialist Schnee, take notes perhaps we can use this against grimm when we get back." Ironwood whispers to his right-hand.


Japanese trucks continue ahead towards the Soviet tanks as Ren and his soldiers crouch down.


The trucks revealed to be carrying fuel swerve their way towards the Soviet tanks some getting shot before getting close. Soviet machine gunners open fire on the Japanese infantry.


A Japanese truck driver manages to get close to one tank, he screams as he pulls the pin of a grenade as he crashes the truck towards the Soviet tank.


This act was followed as a lot more trucks crash into the Soviet tanks destroying them.


"Crazy bastards... What are they doing!" Yang says angrily.


"Suicide runs. They know they aren't going to survive so they'll sacrifice themselves to give their comrades a fighting chance..." Saber answers.


"There has to be another way!" Yang clenches her fists.


"Of course there is... If you want Ren to shoot you in the back for desertion. Or be labeled a coward and lose your honor." Saber deadpans.


"She's right Yang, they most likely knew where they were headed. And they most likely made peace with that as well" Summer offers a comforting hand to her eldest.


Team WTCH looked at the screen clearly disturbed, except for Tyrian who looked like he had found like minded comrades.


Ren looks around him before drawing his katana, and shouting


"Charge!"


"Now that's a katana" Roman wolf whistles.


"Roman. Not. The time" Cinder warns the master thief.


"Scatter!" An officer shouts, as the Japanese soldiers head off into separate directions.


The Soviet tanks open fire as machine guns and tank shells hit the Japanese infantry hard.


A Japanese soldier could be seen being torn apart by Soviet machine guns as a tank slowly moves under him.


He pulls out a pin as he yells out, "Tenno heika banzai!". Causing the tank to explode from under him.


"They're insane..." Roman gapes, clearly not comprehending their lack of survival instincts.


"Why aren't they retreating!? They're clearly outmatched" Winter voices out her concern.


"Clearly because they are insane!" Roman snaps.


"Because the Japanese have high regard for honor. And to die for the emperor is their greatest honor..." Saber flinches remembering the battle of Okinawa.


"All of this carnage for pride? Honor? Why die for that..." Roman mutters, for once everyone seems to agree with him.


Japanese troops quickly move along the gaps, another injured soldier finds himself under a Soviet tank and sacrifices himself.


Ren stabs his katana into a soldiers body before pulling out his pistol,and shooting a Soviet machine gunner.


Ren then makes his way towards an Antitank charge, activates it and then throws it into the enemy tank before jumping down.


More japanese soldiers could be seen throwing molotovs and firing at a Soviet tank.


"Are those beer bottles?" Qrow asks fearing for his alcohol.


"Yep. They're called molotov cocktails they're relatively easy to make just add flammable shit into a beer bottle and your good to go" Saber says.


Winter and Raven smirk finally knowing how to get rid of Qrows alcohol supplies 'accidentally'.


A Japanese soldier makes his way up the tank and throws a molotov into the commanders hatch burning the crew inside.


The screen pans to Ren repeatedly stabbing a flaming corpse. A group of Japanese soldiers could be seen swarming a tank before a soldier screams and enters the tank.


"Tenno heika banzai!"


"I've been wondering about this. But what are they saying?" Weiss asks while looking uneasy at the screen.


"I've actually been wondering that as well, Ms. Saber" Pyrrha follows up.


"They're saying something oh, so universal actually. It means, 'Long Live the Emperor' dears" Saber answers the two girls.


"Their fanaticism is worrying, I wonder what could have caused this high level of devotion" Ozpin asks to himself.


"To answer your question Ozpin, the Japanese believe their Emperor is descended from the gods" Saber.


"Gods? How preposterous! Do they truly believe that" Weiss says.


"Do not presume that ones belief is preposterous, Ms. Schnee. But yes they did indeed believe that." Saber remarks.


"But why? If they truly believe their emperor's a god, they why do they go to war instead of trying to spread peace?" Ruby asks their host.


"Because Petal, they are an empire of warriors and they have something to prove to the world..." Saber answers the younger Rose.


Ruby blushes at the nickname, earning Saber a glare from Weiss and a suspicious look from the Rose-Xiao Long Family.


Jaune gains back his senses as he watches his comrades sacrifice themselves getting burned alive as they advance.


"That must be quite terrifying for anyone present" Ironwood says.


"Why do they keep killing themselves? They're already winning isn't this enough?" Ruby looks away from the scene.


"Fearless leader, is here too maybe he can talk some sense into Renny" Nora says hopefully.


"I... Doubt it" Saber mutters to herself.


The screen pans over to Ren climbing up a tank then slitting the throat of the unsuspecting soldier.


"Or... Maybe not?" Nora sighs sadly then covers her eyes, not wanting to see Ren kill people indiscriminately.


The screen then pans over to Cardin dragging an injured Yatsuhashi.


"Die bravely like a special suicide unit member"


"That bastard bastard, I'm gonna kill him! Nobody messes with my teammate and gets away with it" Coco screams while being restrained by Fox and Velvet.


"Asshole, Jaune do something!" Yang screams at the screen.


"He looks dazed I doubt he can do something, blondie" Roman says to the blonde brawler.


"Well he could try, right Jaune?" Pyrrha answers back.


"Y-Yeah, I hope so too" Jaune says anxiously.


Jaune pushes Cardin off the injured Yatsuhashi, but got punched back by Cardin.


"You son of a bitch!" Cardin says as he makes his way to Jaune and Yatsuhashi.


"Yatsu, its okay" Jaune says before getting pulled away by Cardin.


Jaune punches Cardin back and gets on top of him and gets a hold of his gun.


"You go die bravely"


But is interrupted when a shell lands near them. Yatsuhashi lands right on the path of a Soviet tank, prompting Jaune to run towards him.


"Yatsu!"


Jaune quickly tries to pull Yatsuhashi to safety but the tank rolls over and crushes Yatsuhashi's legs.


"Yatsu..." Jaune says over his ragged breath, holding Yatsu with him.


"Yatsu..."


Everyone that was currently looking at the screen flinched at the horrific sight before them.


Jaune begins hyperventilating, "I-I didn't c-couldn't save hi-him". Prompting Saber to rush over to Jaune.


"Hey. Hey. Kid, look at me, hey look at me" Saber cups Jaune's chin making him face her.


"There wasn't anything you or anyone could have done about that. It wasn't. Your. Fault. Okay?" Saber reassures the blonde knight.


Raven flinches then looks at Summer, who gives her a reassuring smile.


The camera then pans over to Japanese soldiers finishing off the remaining Soviet tanks. As Ren quickly looks forward into the horizon.


"They won? They actually won!" Roman says surprised.


"But at what cost, Mr. Torchwick?" Ozpin asks.


"Too much to count. But atleast they're alive yeah?" Roman says.


"Oh for fucks sake! You jinxed it!" Saber groans.


"Wait. What?" Roman says confused.


The screen pans over to reveal hundreds of Soviet tanks rolling into the ridge line as the soldiers start breaking.


"Fuck! How? Those things must be expensive, how do they have so many?" Roman exclaims.


"Easy because tanks are crazy cheap and effective compared to Atlesian Paladins" Saber smirks at Ironwood.


"They're retreating, finally that must have knocked some sense into them." Weiss breathes a sigh of relief?


"Correction. Ms. Schnee they're deserting..." Saber corrects the heiress.


Every huntsman and soldier in the room look in horror.


"That. That means-" Winter tenses up and looks at her superior.


"Court martial and possibly an execution..." Ironwood grimaces


"But why! They needed to live so they retreated!" Ruby asks not comprehending why the soldiers will be court-martialed and possibly executed.


"Because they're disobeying orders, Petal. And disobedience equals death..." Saber frowns.


The Soviet tanks run over and kill any Japanese soldier they can see, while Ren shoots his own soldiers for trying to retreat.


"Fools! Imperial soldiers do not retreat! How dare you run away! Charge! Don't show your back to tge enemy"


"The bastard is killing his own men..." Roman snickers.


"Why do they not retreat?" Blake asks Saber.


"Well kitty, in the Japanese Empire it is taught that to die for the emperor is the greatest on honor, but to retreat is its greatest shame..." Saber answers, earning a few shocked but most horrified looks.


"They put their pride above all else to the point where retreat is seen as cowardly... I don't think even I would stoop to that level" Cinder laments.


"Indeed dear, not even we could possibly put our pride first like that" Salem tells her subordinate.


"Its pride would sooner be its downfall, I presume?" Ozpin says.


"You have no idea..." Saber says solemnly.


The video finally ends.


Everyone looks down and depressed after what they saw.


Saber stands up and looks at them


"How about a little break? Yeah"


Everyone nods and get off their seats to take a short break.


Saber watches them leave before pulling out another crystal from the box.


A/N: Well that was depressing. As always feel free to leave comments and requests for next time guys.


Nex chapter will be different because they'll be reacting to....


What'd I Miss? from Hamilton the Musical!
