Day 33-35
Spread by news and rumors, the Kannexian troops hear about this "Platinum Commander". Confusion and hope is mixed as it spreads. Despite this, the war seems at a stalemate, with neither side seeming to have the advantage.
Rebels, numbering 70,000, attack Agagisan's Sabers and allied Tannenberg forces, numbering 30,000.
Agagisan's Sabers make the first actual move, tumbling down the hill to attack the Rebels head-on. The Rebels prove to have an advantage in this, its forces charging towards the center of the Sabers. Just when the Sabers seem overrun, it responds by moving its outside forces to attack the Rebel flanks in a pincer movement.
The Rebels uses an M formation, attacking weak points in the Saber's formation. Breaking through their pincer movement, the Sabers are now separated and isolated into three pockets.
Agagisan's Sabers retreat back to the hill, suffering heavy losses. Being bombarded by Rebel cannons, they get into fortified positions and attack the Rebels from an elevated position.
The Sabers were soon surrounded and hit by heavy bombardment, but the Rebels were unable to take the hill.
When messaged to surrender by the Rebels, Baron Zangakiba Ryiang Agagisan cabled back: "1337 2984 0008 1448", or in decoded form, "ning sih ne gul". This is translated as "death before dishonor". This has made Baron Agagisan a celebrity.
Eventually the Imperial 29th Brigade, Rubyias 2nd Mecha Combat Battalion, and USSA forces arrived, attacking the Rebels at its rear. Unable to fight any longer, the Rebels retreated.
Suffering heavy losses, the Agagisan's Sabers was disbanded and was incorporated into the Imperial Kannexian Army.
