Chapter 196 - Reports And Air Support
"Sir, for our current progress we have pushed back the southern loyalist forces to their 7th intersection from 1st to 4th street from the reports of the squad leaders at the front. From the casualties and fatalities reports we have is that we lost 20 Purple Armored knights and 10 for the Black Armored Knights. And we have a remaining force of 95 Black Armored Knights that is still deployable all across the battle zone, Sir. Sadly, we also lost squad leaders, namely Liu Lei of the Purple Armored Knights and Cui Qiang"
Qi Meili ended her report and then put the tab monitor back to her inventory. Jin commented on the report, "95 forces, have you checked the communication with Maskara city? When will the reinforcement arrive?"
Qi Meili did not expect that question, but luckily she has received a recent message. "Sir, the reinforcement will come tomorrow. They are first going to bomb the southern intersection after that they are also going to bomb the airfield because the loyalist forces have retaken it."
"I see well then, we are going to rest for now and deploy by tomorrow, hoping that there won't be any problem. So contact them and make sure we can regroup to the commander I mean let Wen Bao and the other squad leaders to reattach to their Black and Purple knight commanders."
Jin ordered Qi Meili to give the squad leaders a heads up on what they are going to do tomorrow.
The day ended. With that, Jin and Han Zian finally have their rest. With that, they also gave the garrisoned forces a time to rest and recharge for tomorrow preparation for the operation End day which was the last push of the forces of Maskara to make the Jelkala loyalist forces to surrender.
[0400 of the following day]
[Radio: Cyclone to Flight leader we are near Sir.]
[Radio: Copy that, we are going to let go of the bombs make sure it hit] the captain looked at his lieutenant who was his co-pilot at the Zargon Bomber. And his co pilot gives him a thumb. And when the Zargon plane they are flying is above target, the co pilot then opens the lock of the bombs and then said.
[Radio: This is C2 of Zargon 1 bombs away, I repeat bomb target. Bombs away]
After that, all the Zargon bomber planes dropped their bombs to the southern loyalist line of the 7th intersection from 1 to 6th street. The explosion was continuous, and it decimated the whole defensive line in the bombing run that was executed. The explosion had created craters upon craters, buildings flattened because of the impact of the bombs and fiery flames were all around. Whole road was no longer recognizable after the bombing run and after that 1st strike group finished their operation.
[Radio; All Strike 1 group units we are RTB I repeat we are RTB] (Return to Base)
[Radio: This is Dino we are nearing the airfield over. Enemy planes are launching off from the runway, numbering around 10. Escort, please engage over]
[Radio: this is Seventeen Copy Dino we are going to engage the enemy fighters over and out]
After that last radio message, the escort planes charged forward, engaging the fight planes that were launched from the runway. *BRRRRT* *BRRRRT* *BRRRRT* *Goowsh* a rocket fired and then an explosion followed.
[Radio: This is Seventeen to all strike pilots We have take down 1 proceed chase formation over and out]
[Radio: This is Strike flight 1 flight leader Copy that Seventeen]
[Radio: This is Strike flight 2 flight leader Copy that Flight leader]
[Radio: This is Strike flight 3 flight leader Copy that Seventeen Sir]
[Radio: This is Strike flight 4 flight leader Roger that Seventeen]
The fighters began fighting through the air. The explosion and the machine guns were being heard also from below as there were bullets that pierces through the roof and down to the people that were inside it. After that, the 2nd strike group reached the Airfield of Jelkala.
[Radio: This is Strike group 2 we are letting go of the bombs over and out]
And from that green light, they then dropped all the bombs to the airfield. And those fighters that were about to launch themselves that were about to fly received an order to not to fly because of the runway being destroyed by the bombs.
Which the bombs have created craters on the runway that will hinder the flight of the fighters. But they were some fighters that have launched themselves early but quickly shot down by the escort fighters.
[Inside the Eagle Bird on the 2nd force drop]
"Alright boys, we are going hot into the enemy zone. Make sure that all of you are ready to kill some enemies and make sure you hit them to the head." A Squad leader from the Black Armored Knights to his squad members inside an Eagle bird.
"We are ready Hoorah! To battle, Brothers!" and all the Black armored knights that were inside the eagle bird shouted "HOORAH!" and after that, they saw the green light flashing.
Which means they need to get out of the Eagle Bird. And the ramp opened and all of them jumps out, their footsteps echoed through the inside of the eagle bird 1 because it clashed with the metal ramp.
And from that moment, the Black and Purple armored Knights moved to their designated positions.
[On the ground]
"Sir, the reinforcement have already been dropping on the ground." Fang Shirong commented as he looked at the window and there are multiple Black armored Knights and Purple armored knights he saw that were parachuting from above.
"Qi Meili contact their commander and tell them we have Knights attached on our squad and with the attached, joining them." And Qi Meili replies with 'Yes, Sir I will contact the communication officer and the 2nd man of the black and Purple Armored Knights."
After that, Qi Meili rushed down where there was a 2nd man that was fixing the communication to their commander.
[On the other side]
"Move! Move! Position, avoid the open get into cover! 2nd fire team to the left takes that corner of the building. 1st fire team to the right building corner. Make an angle of the open field of fire. "Sir!" a communication officer approached the Black Armored Commander as he was directing his direct platoon of Black Armored Knights.
"Yes, what is it, communication officer?" the commander replied and the communication officer said, "Sir, there have been contacting that they have a few Squads of Black Armored Knights from the first wave of attack that have been attached with the SQUAD. They are requesting for a merge under your command."
And the Black Armored Knight laughed loud. "What is the SQUAD leader cannot handle our Black Armored Knights, so he wants it to give it back sure we are going to take those battle hardened boys those boys will be the key to further move and push these loyalist forces."
And from the north of the Western sector at the border of the northern sector. Was the Purple Armored Knight commander "occupy that building for an overview of the whole location then we are going to move into the northern sector."
The purple armored knight commander. While the Black Armored Knight commander is aggressive in his tactics. The Purple Armored Knight commander is cautious and always re thinking his decision before sending his men. After a few seconds, the communication officer of the Purple Armored Knight then approached the commander.
"Sir, I have a report," and the commander looked at the communication officer was looking straight at him.
"What is it communication officer?" after a pause the communication officer said "Sir, the SQUAD, the unit that was to be no direct correlation from our attacks, has been contacting us. Because they have rescued a squad of our division and that squad wants to merge again with the primary force, which is us. Those purple armored squad that want to merge was from squad leader Liu Lei and she was with the 1st wave of attack."
The Purple armored Knight commander was hesitant to accept a broken squad leader bunch of knuckleheads, especially since they were Purple Armored Knights.
"Tell the SQUAD that the attach of that SQUAD will be under their direct command we are not taking the merge with those Purple Armored Knights."
The commander decided, while looking at the garrison building, that he was making for the forward base on the ground.
"Yes, Sir I will relay the information to the SQUAD." The communication officer replied to the commander before saluting and turning around.
"I cannot believe that the commander did not accept those Purple Armored Knights. Is it because they lost their squad leader or is it because the commander cannot handle added force under him" The communication officer thoughts as he was walking back the makeshift tent for communication.
[SQUAD garrison building]
Jin was walking down the stairs when Qi Meili was waiting for him. "Sir, I have a good news and a Bad news which one do you prefer?" Jin replied to her as he looked at her in the eyes.
"I choose the later one what is the bad news Qi Meili" after asking that question from Qi Meili she suddenly pulls out the tab monitor from her monitor. And shows the communication between her and the communication officer of the Purple Armored Knights.
"Sir, according to the communication officer, the Commander of the Purple Armored Knights is refusing the attached purple armored knights that have joined us. He is instructing them to stay with us and so to keep them attached to us. Accept them as one of the support unit of SQUAD. That is what I am seeing in this report, Sir."
With that conclusion Jin thought of the same, but because of the purple armored Knight state, it will be a hindrance for their other objectives.
"Well, if that is the case, order the Purple Armored Knights to regroup with the other Purple Armored knight forces. And tell them to follow one of those new squad leaders." Jin then looked at Qi Meili as he ordered that.
