Battle of Chicago

Before the Battle
When the Race's Conquest fleet came to earth, the human powers who had been fighting each other had to throw their resources into fighting the Race. But it seemed hopeless as human technology was outclassed by Landcruisers and Killercraft. But a surprise victory could still come. One of the race's targets was Chicago, where the University over there was making an atomic bomb. Jens Larssen had managed to tell General George Marshall of Chicago's Importance and the United State's generals went to work. If they were able to throw the Race attack off balance, they had to conduct surprise. The equipment had to be moved at night time and then camouflaged in some bizzare places but that was the point. They had to hide their equipment from the Race if they were to succeed. But surprise wasn't the only thing they were counting on. They were waiting for a snowstorm because the Race did not fight well under the snow, reason being was that they had no experience of such weather. One of the Generals, George Patton was planning to encircle the Race forces attacking Chicago. To do that, he had to conduct a mass thrust in the Race lines and link up with General Omar Bradley's forces.

The Battle
The attack began when a massive artillery bombardment began at a appointed time. Artillery guns of the US Army had to change positions as the Race were able to return fire and destroy them if they stayed in the same place. Under the Artillery bombardment, tanks moved. Despite their tanks being obsolete to the Landcruisers, the Landcruisers were outnumbered and there was another threat to the Landcruisers. Bazookas were used by infantry to disable landcruisers as the Race landcruiser males were not trained to regard Infantry as a threat. Aircraft of the USAAF went into battle as well, despite worries that rose about the use of human aircraft in the face of Killercraft. But the threat posed by human fighters was enough for the Race to not send hauler aircraft to supply the Race with more landcruisers. Hopelessly outnumbered, the Race retreated.
