Mission Breaking Point was the second and final counteroperation carried out by the Heimdallr Task Forces against the Neocon Task Forces during Operation Downfall. Following the success of Mission Hale, Field Marshal Kiriya Kitagawa immediately ordered a search for the King's whereabouts, as the 3rd Phase of Operation Downfall called for the Neocon's planting a mind-controlling device to the King in order to use the legendary Dath'Remarian artifact known as the Greathammer against the Heimdallr forces.
After elements of the Gneisenau Partisans reporting a large device being constructed in the Almaty Plains, Gneisenau scouts surveyed the area and found that HM the King is being kept prisoner in one of the makeshift buildings. The device was seen to attempt to control the mind of the person, as was tested on the local East Europan populace. Seeing the danger, they immediately reported it Kitagawa, who ordered his eldest son, Col. Yamato Kitagawa to assemble a token force to rescue the King and the Greathammer. As some of the Heimdallr Task Force personnel had been sent to secure other holdings, Yamato's manpower was down by 40%. Aware that General Chang Gwan-mook and Task Force Nicator had more men, and would try to use Seleucid artifacts against them, the former decided to enlist the help of Col. Vladimir Peniakoff and Vodka Regiment, who accepted the call for help. As a result, Yamato managed to bolster his number for the upcoming showdown at the Almaty Plains. In 14 April, final preparations were taken with Yamato successfully being able to recall the LRRG, a subgroup of TF 141. His manpower rose that by the following day, his men almost amounted to nearly 500 men, just short of TF Nicator's 550 strong personnel.
On the day of the battle, Yamato and TF 141 came upon a heavily reinforced TF Nicator supported by 4 Seleucid descendants wielding the Seleucid artifacts while defending the device. Although Yamato knew that he was outnumbered, he rallied his men and engaged in a bitter gunfight against TF Nicator. The gunfight lasted for nearly 6 hours. At 3pm, the Neocons successfully managed to control the King's mind and unleashed the power of the Greathammer against Yamato and his forces. Casualties were beginning to steeply climb as the situation for TF 141 was turning grim, being they were dangerously close to being routed.
As TF 141 braced for cover, Yamato and Kasimira attempted one final attempt to save the Heimdallr cause. Yamato and Kasimira ignored all gunfire and charged on the device that was controlling the mind of the King. As Yamato distracted the 3 Seleucid descendants and Kasimira knocking one out, she managed to lunge her spear on the device, setting the King free from the device's control. A few moments later, the Greathammer began to brighten with voices being heard coming out. A stream of energy flew and infused itself with the King. Both sides would see that the King had been possessed with the spirit of Dath'Remar. Although Alice Janggok tried to slay him with her blade, Dath'Remar activated a force field which sent her flying back. Afterwards, a storm of lighting rained down on TF Nicator's positions, causing casualties within Nicator to rise.
Dath'Remar, while possessing the King's body, rallied TF 141, whom he referred to as The Sons of Europa and ordered Yamato to lead his army to victory. As TF 141 charged in on TF Nicator's position, the fright of the Dead King's soul possessing HM the King frightened them that they were forced to run and retreat from the plains. Following the rout of TF Nicator, Dath'Remar would address TF 141 before his essence returned to the Greathammer and HM the King finally regaining control of his body.
Following this event, the Neocons would never again be able to obtain any advantage over Heimdallr, despite the Katabatic Event taking place, which only further accelerated its collapse and defeat.
