It took a lot of guts to shock attack - The forts where at level 7 and in the mountains with 250k men. The emperor Gordo-san ordered the commanders of the CAA and KAA to attack. This inspired order resulted in 2500 points[8D]
This concludes Operation Bear Trap, now what to do with 1 million men[8D][:)][:'(]
The emperor received a telegram from Adolf sending his congrats. With the Armee in the West approaching the Urals and the Russian industry under attack from Jap bombers, Mr Stalin offered an unconditional surrender. What was started by Russia as an act of agression was ended by the Jap in 3 and half month. Not bad at all.
