The battle of Langen Gap corresponds to the Chapter 12: "They Came in the Same Old Way" in Harold Coyle’s Team Yankee, is the night defensive action fought on the 10th day (spanning from the late night of August 10, 1985 to the dawn of August 11) of the fictional World War III. In this engagement,Bannon leads the Tank Company against an assault by a Soviet tank regiment. It details the defensive deployment, the Soviets’two waves of night assaults, and the full tactical engagement throughout the fighting. In the original novel, the fatal critical flaw in the Soviet assault was a severe breakdown in tank-infantry coordination: during the night attack, the tanks’ assault speed far outpaced that of the accompanying mechanized infantry, leaving the armor completely stripped of infantry screening.
