Details
Prelude
The battle started on 4/8/2018 when Japanese troops launched a second invasion of Sorong, after the first successful one. This led to a call of arms for Germany, whom guaranteed the nation's independence along with Malaya. Despite the Chancellor not initially wanting to fight the Japanese or commit to the attack, the sudden nature of the invasion led to Paper agreeing to send German support. The current soldiers whom were online (Paper, Carlito, 73, and Oretin) quickly geared and mobilized in around 3 minutes. They linked with the Island Union and Tufan to fight the attack, beginning the battle.
Combat
The battle was very chaotic, with attacks occurring across the entire city. There was very little organization within the army, and often times individual Japanese and German troops were often isolated and killed this way, such as 73beetle of Vienna and Brooklyn of Tokyo. In addition, there was heavy friendly fire, with a Sorong troop killing the German 73beetle on accident, being the only casualty on the allied side. Eventually the Japanese retreated after sustaining heavy casualties leading to the battle being declared a victory as it was a defensive one.
Aftermath
The battle was the last Japanese attempt to subjugate Sorong, which subsequently formed the IU. While temporarily poisinging German relations, with an attack at Odense during the Mid-April troubles, the two nations later reconciled in a NAP and allied in the Kerala War.
