Well that's primarily because the anime majorly screwed things up.
Vasel Bridge had multiple Light Tank Companies stationed on/around it. During the game mission, there are about... ~10 to 20 inactive tanks and four crewed ones. There were ragnarite fuel storage cells everywhere.
Basically, it looked exactly like you would expect the end result of a blitzkreig offensive to be when they had reached their primary objective. Heck, the only reason Squad 7 survived was because when they captured the bridge, they opened it... and dumped another light tank company into the river.
So yeah. The anime wasn't a blitz, but the game certainly had it. And the end result of the game was that the Imperials got a very, very, very bloody nose from it, so altered their plans.
