Operation: Everest (Omz222 Invasion; Private) [Archive]

14-11-2003, 01:27

"INCOMING VAMPIRES!" one of the radar technicians suddenly screamed.

Two officers dashed to his console and he read off the data.

"Bearing 165 for 50 miles, closing!"

"Shit!" one of the officers pointed at the first man he saw. "Alert the bridge now - tell them we've got incoming cruise missiles!"

The sailor didn't have to be told twice - he bolted for a phone.

Hardly a minute later, Kalaxons erupted from every ship in the Remiesian fleet.

"Weapons," the Admiral barked, "have the ships sort targets and engage immediately! Spin up all Vanguards (CIWS; much better than a Phalanx) and launch the alert fighters!"

CIWS systems spun up, their electronic eyes searching the skies for the incoming missiles, and Standard SM-2 SAMs blasted out of the VLS launchers on dozens of the ships, arcing into the sky and nosing over towards the incoming vampires.

-Guardian Six, Guardian Six, you are cleared weapons hot, repeat, cleared weapons hot. Stand by to engage incoming missiles.

-Understood, Home Plate, going hot.

-Guardian lead, going hot

-Two’s hot.

-Three, copy that.

-Guardian flight’s locked and loaded.

-Guardian you are clear to engage repeat clear to engage. Weapons free.

-Copy command, engaging.

The Tomcats let loose their payloads of Phoenix missiles – designed almost exclusively for missile-killing. With any luck, they and the Standards would knock down most of the incoming missiles. If any made it through, the Vanguards would take care of them.

**************************************

Meanwhile…

The 6th Cavalry and 27th Infantry were dug in within ten miles of Honjaksgrad. If anyone came ashore, it would be their job to pound the hell out of them with artillery and air support, then climb out of their holes and ram them back into the sea.

Both divisions had dug in as deeply as they could – each tank had a berm to fight from and the infantry were either bunkered or in staggered lines of foxholes. Hours after hours of backbreaking work had served them well – anyone trying to pry them out of there would have a hell of a time. Of course, being under the blanket of Patriots, HAWKS, Avengers and Linebackers didn’t hurt either.

Their air support consisted of not only their own Comanches and Apaches, but Strike Eagles and A-10s that would rain fire down on any attacking troops.

Well-protected, disciplined, exhaustively trained, and well-supported, the Remiesian units were ready to kick ass – the adrenaline began rushing through the veins of every last soldier.

The Remiesian commander made the call – move elements of the 173rd Airborne Brigade into Honjaksgrad and prepare to repel enemy forces. Any attempt to encircle or bypass the city would run facefirst into two heavily fortified divisions.

Despite being outnumbered, the division SAM batteries (HAWKS and PAC-3 Patriots) opened fire on the incoming missiles, hoping to get at least some of them – God knows what they could be carrying as payload.

Under the smoke trails of SAMs, the 173rd started moving towards the city, clad in their MOPP gear with chemical detectors calibrated and ready. They were a light force, but they could still put any invaders in a world of hurt.

“Airborne!” came the cry from the men as they boarded their choppers and Stryker APCs for the trip.

Ridgeway light tanks would easily outmaneuver anything the invaders had and would be able to hit and run with support from antiarmor teams and ambushes, turning the fight for the city into a fight for every square inch.

***************************************

Meanwhile…

Sixteen F-22 Raptors lifted off from a nearby airbase, headed for the vicinity of the city. They kept their radars off and maintained radio silence, taking their feed from the E-767 AWACS plane a few dozen miles inland from the city.

Their mission – intercept and destroy any hostile aircraft, no questions asked.

Five minutes behind them, eight F-23 Black Widows were launched and given orders to commence a CAP over the airbase.

OOC: Back to you for missile splashes. The stealth ones obviously haven’t been detected yet.

Despite the passive mobile air defence, thunders and flashes rang in Honjaksgrad, devastating the Omzian government buildings, fixed air defense and early warning sites, and small military bases. Despite this, the few of Grendel ad Skymer surface-to-air missiles, which are on high alert, is said to have shot down about 19 of these missiles --- primarily RX7. The Omzian government already knew the war has almost began, as they did not comment but silently upped it to DEFCON 2.

Debrises and fire flashed through the midnight Honjaksgrad, as air siren rang and citizens rushed to their bunker. However, 6 unlucky citizens are killed in a residental area in the suburbs, with an unknown number injured. The origional "Omzian Federal Administration Office" at Honjakgrad, a beautiful glass building, turned to a pile of debris and fire.

For all they knew, this is just the beginning of the so-called 'Tomahawk Diplomacy". Silently, mobile air defense and coastal defence trucks scrambled again, trying to get a target. Secretly, many army forces, msot notably the Armored and Mechanized Infantry Divisions, are activated. However, the army Generals are confident that despite the inital losses, Omz222 would not be taken over. The enemy will face a lot of resistance. Or at least, they have a lot of hope for their tanks and missiles.

********************

The fleet, with the remaining 2 Hiragi Class Cruisers, Destroyers, and ASW Frigatesof course, expected the cruise missiles. Despite the volleys, many missiles were engaged by PDMs and ESSMs from the Hiragis, SM-2ERs from the Destroyers, and even short-range navalized MTHEL and Dragon CIWS. Despite this, a few missiles got through --- making a devastating blow to the smaller ships ---especially the Frigates. For all they know, the rest of the heavy-armored battlegroup were damaged -- with some frigates even sunk. Also, as a reminder, the fleet quickly called the Air Force to station the F-24s "Strategically" along large cities, to intercept high-speed and altitude bombers, plus missiles.

Quickly, the accompanying Wyvern Class Corvettes rushed, with their fast speed and advanced stealth technologies. Taking the command, they quickly tracked the missiles and fired back, with a volley of 60 Firebolt anti-ship missiles --- like mad. However, the aircraft carriers will also be future targets --- only not now.

OOC: Post coming tomorrow, possibly after the invasion actually starts. Just got a nasty fever, feels too dizzy to post a full-fledged post right now.

But I will try my best in not delayig this.

Preview after SpecOps take the city: Massive bombardment by tactical missile and aircraft, army Mech. Inf/Armored divisions advance, infantry advance, airborne operations commerces. Also further bombardment of the ships, plus an air-to-air combat planned. Hopefully this works well, same as planned.

14-11-2003, 05:17

OOC1: Well Omz, he's already landed tanks and such, so I'm gonna pound the crap out of them now :D

A lone OH-58 scout helicopter observed the troops offloading from behind a stand of trees, peering down onto the beaches through its mast-mouted sight. The pilot and gunner agreed they'd lingered as long as they dared and darted back to the safety of their lines.

But, that one chopper was all the artillerymen needed.

The grid coordinates were quickly handed off to a Crusader battery about 30km away - the four self-propelled howitzers adjusted their barrels accordingly and opened fire.

Four Crusaders spat their giant 155mm rounds for two full minutes, raining 20 rounds each down on the massing formations of tanks and vehicles - the infantry could wait.

Eighty rounds crashed down on the beachhead...

--------------------

The 173rd was getting settled into defensive positions in the city - apparantly there were no chemical weapons launched, but the troops were extremely alert, keeping their masks at the ready.

-This is Delta Three, I've got enemy troops about 200 yards out.

-Echo Five, I've contact here too...

"Let 'em come in a little closer guys," and Airborne NCO hissed to his troops, who were up on the second floor of a building, peeking out the windows at one of the large infantry teams making it's way up the street. "Let's put these c*cksuckers in their place!"

The enemy infantry edged closer...

"NOW!"

Rifle and machinegun barrels were thrust out the windows and the entire side of the building came alive in blossoming muzzle flashes - the enemy troops went for cover but not before SAWs, M4s and 40mm grenades rained down on them.

...

"Holy shit," the tank commander heard over his radio. "They've got NO armored support, repeat, no armored support!"

"Choppers, though..."

"Heh heh...the Raptors will be here soon enough."

Some of the Ridgeways, on an individual level, popped out of alleys and blasted the oncoming troops with 105mm cannon fire and sprayed them with .50 caliber rounds before darting back to safety...the Strykers did much the same.

It looked like this was going to be a walk in the park for the roughly 2,000 men of the 173rd.

-----------------------------------

Two frigates were at the bottom, one destroyer was crippled, and three cruisers were damaged - not not bad considering around sixty missiles had been fired at the fleet. SAMs and Tomcats had taken out most of the missiles...only to have stealth missiles suddenly pop up at point-blank range. The Vanguards got some but not all.

"Ready the attack squadrons," said the Admiral, "and prepare for Harpoon launch. Am I to assume the Seawolves are moving in?"

"Yessir."

"Good. Missiles first, then we hit them with subs and bombers."

-----------------------------------

Comanches are very stealthy helicopters, but the radar systems on the E-767s were the most powerful yet designed - picking them out around the city was child's play.

-Viper Six, this is Big Bird. Multiple attack choppers in and around Honjaksgrad.

The lead Raptor pilot took a look at this JTIDS and saw the dots moving around the city, without having to turn his own set on.

-Roger that Big Bird, we copy your contacts. Viper flight is engaging now.

Four of the Raptors split off to attack. All they needed to do was acquire visually and bring 'em down with AIM-9xs or guns.

-Easy as pie, fellas.

And the Raptors went to work. The Comanche pilots, keeping their eyes on the ground in search of paratroopers, didn't see the diving Raptors until they were padlocked themselves - and under fire. Sidewinders streaked into the choppers and Vulcan cannons lanced out at the others, the long fingers of tracers slamming into the choppers' skin, sending them tumbling crazily out of control.

--------------------------------

Artillery rounds splashed all over the 27th Infantry's position, causing everyone to hit seek the bottoms of their holes.

"F*ckin' glad they made us dig these things after all!" shouted one soldier over the din of incoming naval gunfire.

Casualties were kept to a minimum due to the fortifications (and the fact that naval gunfire is inherently inaccurate) - 9 Abrams were knocked out, 3 Ocelots, and 74 infantry killed with another 179 wounded.

(artillery and air defense was kept back for this very reason)

OOC2: Arty strike, city action, and Raptors after your choppers - throw some losses up there ;)

"Urgent! As of two minutes ago, Fredrick Barbarosea Jr. raised the national DEFCON to 1. This means that we are at total state of war with Omz222. The nation now has closed boarders. That means that absoultly noone is allowed in or out of barbarosea. That is all."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Training Grounds

The cargo ships were just 40 miles away from the rest of the fleets when
they stopped along with the 9th fleet. The bombardment cannons were loaded and ready. As they fired off the first volly of 10 (1 from each cannon) there was a huge wake given off behind them. The missiles were headed towards Honjaksgrad, at SAM turrets, and any defenses around the city. The cannons reloaded, firing off another volly, after another, after another, after another. The 9th fleet went live, scanning the skies, and seas for any missiles coming towards the cargo fleets.

The PT-B boats could hold about 40 troops each. They were making regular runs now, about 100,000 troops were there, ready to attack. Almost 50,000 were on the shore now, charging with groops of the Omni soldiers.

The UVC's armed there POM's (Pryo Oppressive Missile) and started firing, a total of 72 missiles were launched in a 20 minute timeframe. They were aimed at the bunkers, or well, just a bit over them...[The missiles are napalm missiles, that hit and spray fire in front (pan) and back (pan) so they hit alot of targets.]

Back at Barbarosea, Z-3's (Light Cargo, look here: www.barbarosea.tk) were launching and coming in on the J-MOB, or letting there troops drop in (via Parachuting). They had runs all moring and night, plus the next day and the next day. A total of 5,000,000 were to be brought in, and they were to overrun Omz.

Also, the 5th-8th fleets were deployed to SC while the 1st-4th were deployed to the training grounds (1st fleet is a nice missile fleet). C-130's were loaded up with tanks, HALO's, APC's, and ammo. Another 100 cargo ships were loaded up with the same and shipped out with the 1st-4th fleets.

From the UVC grounds, 7-19 were taking off, heading for the training grounds.

OOC: about 50 thousand troops ashore, about 5,000 on front lines. 72 pryo missiles launched at the bunker spaces. about 50 cruise missiles (the ones that break off) launched at SAM's patroits, ect.

14-11-2003, 15:27

OOC: Do we forget I have an entire squadron of Raptors covering the city? And you all have the exact coordinates of every fortification and missile battery...how?

Anyway....

IC

The effect of the artillery strikes on the dug-in divisions was more of an irritant than anything else - artillery rounds splashed all over their positions, but most of the equipment had been moved slightly since the last strike. A few more tanks and roughly 175 infantrymen were out of action.

"Goddamn!" yelled an officer, "these guys aren't quitting!"

He hit the bottom of his hole again as more rounds screeched in.

----------------------------------

Over Honjaksgrad, it was a fighter pilot's dream.

Defenseless, lumbering transport planes were attempting to drop paratroopers and MOABS...and were going down in flames by the dozens. The Raptor pilots, having rearmed and refueled since scrapping a flight of Comanches, were firing AMRAAMS, Sidewinders, and quite frequently guns at the transport planes - those that didn't get blotted from the sky by the Raptors were pounced on by four of the Black Widows that had been called up to help. Any planes not downed by the fighters were forced off course, scattering their paratroopers all over the map. The SAMs (miles to the rear of the divisions, mind you - that was made clear earlier) were too busy knocking cruise missiles out of the sky to lend a hand.

One Raptor pilot swung in behind a transport plane and let loose with his Vulcan - he could see the paratroopers inside the plane, gawking at him through the open tail ramp. 20mm rounds peppered the plane.

Enjoying complete air superiority, a pair of AC-130 Spectre gunships joined the fray, raining all manner of death and destruction on the advancing SC Coalition troops. Vulcan cannons, Bofors guns, and 105mm howitzer fire crashed down on them - and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it with no fighter cover and no AA defense.

A huge number of troops were landing on the beaches, and a flight of four A-10 tankbusters was sent to deal with it.

Standoff Maverick antitank missiles streaked towards the formations (20 missiles in all), and then the Thunderbolts dumped CBU-87s and -89s on the tanks. The area-denial cluster bombs opened at roughly 50 feet and caused a hailstorm of bomblets to saturate the tank formations.

-Alright guys, switching to guns - let's hose 'em down!

The four Thuderbolts swooped down on the tanks, their 30mm Avenger cannons spitting molten lead death down on the tanks and infantry, tearing into the formations at thousands of rounds per minute.

Their ordanence exhausted, they returned to base to reload and switch off with another flight.

-------------------------------------

Eager to strike back, the Army's Paladins and Crusaders (untargeted and out of range, as far as I can tell), added to the bloodbath by opening up with everything they had - convoys of trucks were bringing in more rounds as fast as they could as the howitzers pounded the enemy landing full-bore.

Six Apaches and eight Comanches buzzed in over the tanks when the artillery let up, firing Hellfires and unguided rockets into the enemy forces.

-Man, what a show! yelled one pilot over the radio as he saw the impacts from roughly two miles away.

When they had finished their hunting, the choppers departed, loosing two Apaches to ground fire.

The artillery started its cacaphonous symphony again.

----------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, off the coast, VLSs on the Remiesian ships blazed again, this time sending 55 Tomahawks streaking towards the enemy fleet.

Six EA-220 tactical stealth bombers (from United Elias) were launched, moving in at subsonic speeds to get within Harpoon range.

A-6F Intruders were then flung from the decks of the three carriers and send off to hammer the ships of the invasion fleet that were much closer to shore. Two EA-6B Prowlers tagged along to provide jamming support.

And still the Seawolves made their slow and inexorable trip towards the enemy fleet, moving at a near-crawl to avoid detection. The five of them that were dispatched prepared to nail as many ships and subs as they could.

To guard against a similar move, ASW birds (Vikings and Seahawks) were contstantly prowling the waters around the fleet, ready to pounce on the first sign of a submarine.

------------------------------------

The incoming cruise missiles were easy shooting for the SAMs - all of them, not just the fixed Patriots and HAWKs (again, several dozen miles inland). Avengers, Linebackers, and Stingers splashed quite a few of them, and Vulcan AA guns sprayed 20mm shells at the rest.

About 20 of the missiles got through, landing all across two divisions' frontage - killing infantrymen, about 200 to be exact, and putting a few Vulcans and Humvees out of commision.

The soldiers were getting more and more pissed off with every round that fell on their positions - those invading troops would pay dearly for this.

---------------------------------

OOC2: Ah, the wonders of air superiority. Time for you guys to respond to:

Fighter cover, two artillery barrages, A-10s, gunships, Spectres, the Remiesian Airborne troops in the city, and now missile launches and air strikes against yer navies :-)

The Omzian Armed Forces has commented that in this state of war, the entire reserve, consisting of 1.5 million personnel, will be called in immediately, making the total force to be in excess of 3.5 million personnel with the active force, not including another 0.6 million personnel from a government funded and trained civilian militia force (composed of young men who received military training and have a job but is willing to defend Omzian Nation incase of a takeover).

*******************

The bunkers (or at least, the ones the government has mentioned publicly), since they are well-protected and can only be penetrated using several heavy penetrator bombs, is affected minimally. But however, napalm fire can be seen at hills and small villages, as firefighters has been called in. But the bunkers are unaffected.

Fixed Patriot SAM sites, which belongs to the reserves however, are mostly hit, although a few are engaged by various other defences. The remaining defence near Honjaksgrad, where there isn't much, are already hit by previous bombardments, so there isn't much left now.

*******************

Omzian National Command Bunker, Unknown Location in Northern Mountains

The Generals, in the beginning of a brief meetings, stared at each other. It is a cold night, after the bombardment on strategic positions. But one, General Ukarans Yankze, commented. "Reports suggest that the Barbarosean forces and Sniper Country forces has landed, and are being engaged by Remiesian forces. As expected, Barbarosea is also using their version of J-MOB, to launch a massive invasion force at us."

Another General, seems confident, answered. "Begin Operation: Lightening".

[OOC: Going to start a massive bombardment later (composed of bombers, artillery, gunships, tank-killers, attack helos, etc) after getting back from school at approx. 5PM Central Time]

OOC: I'm gonna be gone til sunday, so Lighting might want to hold off

as to how I got the SAM's positions? My Jaggs on that hill looking into the city?

IC:

Casultalies:
5693 soilders dead.
(I have like no tanks there yet, so I can't post those stats)
9th fleet's PT-B boats (3) all hit, they seem to run tho.

RP:

The soilders then started pouring bullets twards the inflintry that were not in the bunkers, as 1000 troops started crawling in camo (200 with ghille). They were going up to the bunkers to plant C-6's (C4's with extra explosives strapped around it). Also, another volly (10) of the HE (High Explosive) cruise missiles were called in on the bunkers before the men got there. The J-MOB launched 5 Z-6's that were carring cluster bombs (5 each) that they were dropping on Honjaksgrad. Also, from the carriers, 250 Z-1c's were launched to engage the Raptors.

OOC: I'm gonna be gone til sunday, so Lighting might want to hold off

as to how I got the SAM's positions? My Jaggs on that hill looking into the city?

OOC: No, I meant the command bunkers, which are primarily based off Western and Northeastern Omz, for strategic reasons.

Also, if Lightening will be held off, so will the whole invasion, although I am reconvering from the nasty fever and some infection inside my stomach (shudders). So I'll let SC decide. But in the meanwhile, I will hold off Lightening OOCly, and assuming that the war will pause for a moment. However, when Lightening starts, it will be a big shore bombardment :twisted: Still, if Lightening holds off=Everest pauses, as my commanders are eanger to start it immediately.

The bunkers near Honjaksgrad are of course, all empty due to previous abadonments. Bombing the empty command bunkers though, will affect th effectiveness of the forces in the future. But still, the cruise missils caused minimal damage as the bunker is designed to withstand heavy explosions from HE, but still vulnverable to a massive volley of penetrator bombs (hint hint).

************************

The Omzian F/A-22C (upgraded F/A-22A) Raptors begins to join the Remiesian F/A-22As --- 24 infact, highly unusual for the small-natured Omzian Air Force. However, they awaits for the enemies.

One F/A-22C however, caught one Z-6 on radar.

************************

The pilot of the F/A-22C looked on his radar, cruising at a speed of Mach 1.4 near Honjaksgrad, armed with 6 AIM-152 ALRAAM, 2 AIM-238 Cockatrice, and 2 AIM-201 Scorpions (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75693). Suddenly, he spotted something of an object on radar.

He immediately radioed the rest of his squadron and his wingman. "Unidentified object detected. persume as Bandit 1, waiting for order to engage."

OOC: Any more info on the Z-6?

==============================

The Omzian Colonel and officers, escorting Sapphire from Clan Smoke Jaguar and the Smoke Jaguar Colonel, stepped off the black sedan they are riding. The Colonel personally opened the door for Sapphire.

"We've just received the news that the fighting near Honjaksgrad will be intense. The flight to a town where the secret command bunker is located will be short and brief, and safe."

Clan Smoke Jaguar

15-11-2003, 01:41

With the start of the invasion, Clan Smoke Jaguar's entire reserve was being called up. Even now, some 150 reserve force ships had set sail to join with the active forces and form convoys and patrols, or just take over normal patrol operations so active fleets could be sent elsewhere.
Deployment orders still hadn't arrived yet for the ground or air troops, but some 60 air wings were ready to ship out to help Omz, along with some 6 RDF divisions.

Somewhere in the open ocean, between Omz222 and Can Smoke Jaguar
The small flotilla consisted of 14 ships - 3 Wisdom CGs, 6 Sharon FFs, 2 Dolphin SSNs, and 3 other vessels that appeared to be modified Arleigh Burke DDGs. They made an effort to stay out of the way of any other ships, but none to hide themselves. After all, even if they were being tracked, it would only help in their mission. Right now, they were cruising along idly, doing nothing outside of possibly drawing some attention, but when everything was ready, that would most certainly change.

On the way to the Meeting
Word had gotten out that the invasion had already started, and this made Colonel Cline very apprehensive. Sapphire, on the other hand, was closer to just plain annoyed. This meant that things would have to be rushed now. "Well," Sapphire said, "we had best get this over with quickly."

15-11-2003, 01:46

OOC: There's no way you can see my SAM batteries (you can see his, certainly) from the city - my divisions are roughly ten miles out and the SAMs are behind the lines. As such, they are still operational and are still swatting your planes out of the sky.

And I assume you mean his command bunkers, so meh, I have no reaction to that :wink:

IC:

Over Honjaksgrad, the 16 Raptors had rearmed/refueled and were back on CAP. They cruised at 35,000 feet with radars switched off (which makes them almost impossible to detect - that's a fact), taking all their data from the E-767 running a racetrack pattern many miles inland. Having splashed just about everything the Barbaroseans had thrown at them with the help of the Remiesian Patriot batteries, the fighters weren't occupied at the moment.

-Ghostrider Six, this is Big Bird - we've got problems here. Looks like a massive air unit headed your way...I can't count them all.

OOC: 250? Give me a break. You'd need three Nimitz carriers loaded with nothing but fighters to get that many in the air.

IC: -Uh, understood Big Bird, what do you recommend?

-Hold position and await further instructions, over.

-Copy.

With the help of the Patriots and Omzian Raptors, they had a chance at fending these guys off.

OOC @ Omz: your fighters can keep their sets off and rely on the AWACS bird - it's much easier that way :wink:

------------------------------------

(the following actions were initiated in my last post)

About 150km from the main Barbarosean fleet, the six EA-220s launched a pair of Harpoons each. The sea-skimming antiship missiles headed for the ships, bringing with them their notorious reputation of nearly ripping ships in half on impact. The stealthy EA-220s turned back immediately, needing to do nothing more.

The A-6s did the same to the ships closer to land, under the cover of jamming by Prowlers. The twelve Intruders fired off two Harpoons each and hotdogged, racing back to the fleet as fast as they could.

(And the Tomahawks?)

---------------------------------------------

OOC again: At this point I'm freeze-framing, I guess.

On the way to the Meeting
Word had gotten out that the invasion had already started, and this made Colonel Cline very apprehensive. Sapphire, on the other hand, was closer to just plain annoyed. Assuming the meeting wouldn't be called off, it would mean that everything would have to be rushed from here on in, and she hated rushing into things.

On the airplane, Sapphire and Colonel Cline was greeted by another officer, only higher: Lieutenant General Thomas Vansare-Ellison. Wearing his blue military officer suit, with a selection of medals pinned onto his chest --- 1 being the "Medal of Honor" --- he took great pride. As he was introduced by the previous Colonel, he saluted to the 2 Smoke Jaguar guests.

"Welcome to Omzian Democratic Republic, comrades. We thank you all. I'm Lt. Gen. Vansare-Ellison, commander of the 2nd Corps of the Omzian National Guard Army. Of course, we have a few things on the agenda," he said boldly. After a mere second, he also commented, "we are also sure that our Operation: Lightening will finish those landing enemy forces off. Of course, our goal is to turn the forces into corpses, no need to worry."

**************************

Nellison National Air Guard AFB, Near Nellison City

The heavily defended Nellison AFB, named for its location near the popular Nellison City, a famous city where English settlers has stayed in the 1800s, is preparing for Operation: Lightening --- as many other Reserve and Active forces in southeastern Omz222. Today it is not the annual airshow as planned, today is the "truth".

8 of the heavily, new-manufacture A-114 Gunslinger tank-killer jets took off, with their heavy loads of 20 Locust anti-armor missiles modified with thermobatric warheads (to defeat massed infantry), 4 television-guided Maverick missiles, 2 Rockeye II Cluster bombs, and 2 AIM-201 Scorpion air-to-air missiles, took off. It is a long cruise, but they will undoubtfully make it. These are the forces that will lead the F/A-160 Wolverine fighters, the small fleet of AC-130U Gunships, the AH-93C Firebird attack helos, and some other of the AMF-10 Manticore tank-killer jets in the Lightening operation. The pilots, who are newly trained with this bird, is confident that they will survive a ahrd bombardment.

Returning the salute, Sapphire smiled. "We figured you would have a few tricks up your sleeve, but the leadership of Clan Smoke Jaguar doesn't think that this invasion will be stopped that easily. As such, we have a little operation of our own that we would like to throw in."
The Lt. General nodded. "At least, we'll admit that they have assembled an impressive invasion force. But as always, our people and leadership are determined to push these imperalists out of the Omzian Motherland. Even though this war will be slow and tendius, we are sure that we will get the victory at last --- even if this lasts for years."

"We expected as much. But there's really no reason for this war to last quite that long. We're getting ready to send reinforcements for you now, and all we're waiting for is the word from your government. As for our own operation, we will be able to launch it within a few weeks. If it goes off successfully, it could very well crush the invasion right there."

"Yes. As said, our government will approve your forces soon. We thank you very much for the courtesy of stopping this unjustified invasion of our land," he said proudly.

Then, he paused for a brief second, and then continued, "Of course, proper tactics counts here. If we could find some loopholes in their invasion force, we could just crush their force despite being outnumbered easily. Also, coopreation matters. Soon, we'd expect the primary defending forces to launch a series of operations coopreatively, that is cruical to being the downfall of the invaders. We wouldn't just fall into their trap and surrender, and admit us to their brutal hands."

Shortly after their talk, they would be arriving at the small regional airport of a village within a mountainous region, where the secret commander bunker is located. A good location to conceal current operations.

OOC: A Remiesian General wants to meet with both of you, at your convenience. (give his HQ some coordinates or something and he'll join you via Blackhawk.)

IC: A lull in the action provided the Remiesian troops time to rearm, re-entrench, tend to their wounded and remove the dead.

Total casualties so far were 58 killed, 91 wounded in Konjaksgrad itself, with 4 Ridgeways and 7 Strykers destroyed.

the 27th Infantry, closer to the city, had suffered 367 killed, 1034 wounded, 15 Abrams destroyed, 7 Ocelots destroyed, and 12 Bradleys destroyed.

6th Cavalry was the shoulder of the Remiesian line and took far less of a beating - 92 infantry killed, 258 wounded, 2 Abrams, 4 Ocelots, and 7 Bradleys destroyed. They also lost 2 Apaches during the strikes on the beachhead.

Despite their losses, they were eager to close with the enemy on the ground and deal them a blow they wouldn't forget.

"Yes, and that's part of why we're here."
With that, Colonel Cline chimed in. "Our primary weapon against them is the size of their own invasion. With the size of the force they're gathering, they will be hard pressed to sustain the invasion for very long, even with a major port. And if we strike at the supply lines, it will only get worse. But as miss Sapphire has stated, we do have something else planned that could really hurt the invasion."

After hearing that, the Lt. General grinned, as he sipped from his cup of green tea --- a traditional daily drink of the Omzian villagers. "Supply lines, true. It seems that their supply lines are only lightly-guarded anyways. Our reports also suggest that their forces lack artillery and proper air defence, now if we could exploit that..."

The Lt. General thought it for a while. While the Omzians is outnumbered, they will definately "out-tactic" the invasion force. As the old saying in Omz222: A well-thought fight wins an outnumbered fight.

With that, he grinned. "With our series of aerial and artillery bombardment, of course they can do little about it. Still, the 2 primary threat are their cruise missile-firing ships, plus the Gusto and Windcutter high-altitude and fast-flying stealth aircraft, capable of strike and reconissance missions. That's why we now have quite a few F-24 ANtares interceptors there to chase them, as they have before. About the ships, our corvettes performs excellent. But we also could defeat their naval forces using another combined fleet by Remiesia, your people, and our people, plus a joint aerial bombardment."

Then, the report about the Barbarosean J-MOB (Joint Mobile Offshore Base) flashed in his mind. "Oh yes, what are your thoughts about the threat of the Barbarosean J-MOB?"

EDIT: OOC to Remiesia: Yep, just ICly contact my Generals through a secure channel.

"The only real problem with the J-MOB is that the thing's so big that it can soak up a lot of damage and still be fully operational. Outside of that, it's just a giant target. Sure, it can support a large force, but it's still not going to be enough to hold off a determined air or naval assault. Plus, we have a few ways of at least delaying air operations from it, even if we can't sink it too easily."

"The stealth aircraft are a different matter, and one we can help with a little more. As you know, we've already set up some of the passive networks, and the next shipment has several batteries of modified Grendel SAMs that can be directed using the information gathered by the sensors. It's no good if the target makes any sudden maneuvers, but there will still be no indication of a radar lock until the missile hits, so there's a good hit probability."

OOC @ SC: heh a rhyme...

There's a fight going on in the city and I've called in some serious firepower on your guys (a pair of AC-130s and plenty of artillery to be exact) and the skies are in friendly hands for the moment.

I posted some losses for the 173rd a few posts back...I haven't claimed to have wiped your guys out (though sending them in there with virtually no support was kinda dumb :P )

As far as fleets, I've launched missile strikes on Barbarosea's fleet but he won't be back until Sunday - I have no idea what the outcome of that is.

IC:

ENCODED MESSAGE BLAH BLAH BLAH :P

*rubs hands together...oh man this fight is gonna be good :twisted:*

Sergeant Scott Norton had thought things were going pretty well - his troops were giving the Sniper Country twerps hell.

Suddenly the world around him exploded in a fireball of shattered glass, flying limbs, and gutteral screams as rockets slammed into the buildings.

Thrown clear across the room, he managed to sit up and found a chunk of sizzling hot shrapnel embedded in his IBA - he swatted at it with a gloved hand and knocked it free. He shook his head to clear the ringing and found that he had no helmet and no weapon.

Looking around the room, he noticed he was the lucky one. Even though the overpressure wasn't bad - he'd ordered all doors to be left open for that very reason - the blasts had absoultely gutted his team.

Corporal Smith was cut cleanly in half at the waist and was - for f*ck's sake - still moving, somehow. He was twitching violently as he lay in an ever-widening pool of his own blood and intestines.

Private Paratore's helmet was wobbling slowly on the floor - with the top of his head still in it.

Corporal Dombrowski had taken a faceful of flying glass, tearing his face and neck to ribbons. Blood soaked his BDUs and he lay on his back, writhing in agony, whimpering softly...blinded and deafened by the blast.

Norton vomited all over himself.

He tried to speak but found he had no voice - his throat worked spasmodically but no sound would come out. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally managed it, in a wavering voice.

"M-m-m....MEDIC!" Tears poured from his eyes and he sat there stupidly on the floor, sobbing hysterically, covered in other people's blood and gore.

------------------------------------

Sergeant Jim Robinson watched from the relative safety of his Ridgeway as the rockets slammed into the buildings. He cringed.

Most of the firing stopped, as even those not hit by rockets gawked at what they had just witnessed.

His knuckles went white on the handgrips and his gunner looked at him.

"You know what to do," Robinson said robotically.

A pause.

"Forward," he ordered flatly, and the light tank surged out from behind its partial cover and cranked the 105mm gun around, leveling it at the first group of Sniper Country troops the gunner saw.

"FIRE!"

The cannon thundered and the HE round slammed into a group of them. In a blind rage, he threw open his hatch, grabbed the M2, and held the butterfly trigger down, screaming at the top of his lungs, pumping round after round into the Sniper Country troops.

"SONS OF BITCHES!"

---------------------------------------

- Goddamn it, we need fire support on that intersection!

- I need a medic in sector five, now!

- We're pinned down!

- Get 'em, get 'em!

The Spectre pilots couldn't see all the details but they knew things were bad. Vulcan fire, 40mm Bofors rounds, and howitzer shells continued to slam into Sniper Country-held buildings.

- We could really use some Comanches right about now...

- This is Whiskey Four-Five, inbound to your location with a flight of guns.

The eight Remiesian Marine Corps AH-1Zs thundered over the city, loaded with rockets, guns, Stingers and Hellfires, and started unloading into any and all Sniper Country troops they could pick out.

The battle raged on, both sides more determined than ever to blot the other out of existance.

OOC: Wasn't firing at your ships, was shooting at Barbarosea :wink:

Emergency Session of the Board of Presidents

"Those bastards are over there killing our people! I am not about to sit here and watch our men get slaughtered! I propose to send all of our armed forces- including the national guard, a good chunk of the police, and by sin call up the Prisoner-Grunt forces!" yelled the Head of Comstar Rentals.

"That's going a bit far, you think? I for one just propose that we send more troops and take a more active role in this, 'situation'. Think of the medical advancements we can find during battlefield operations." replied the Head of the Dracodyne Medical Technolgies Corporation.

The Head of the Board spoke up, interrupting the heated debate going on in the dimly lit meeting room. The room was almost blank, aside from the massive black table sitting in the middle, made of ebony wood, at which the Board members sat.

"Look now, Ronny," speaking to the head of Dracodyne, "we're not going to sit here and call this a freaking 'situation'. This is war- sublime war. Now, I hate to disappoint old Boggs over here," refering to the head of the Comstar chairman, "but we won't be calling up the national guard, or anything of that sort. These little pansies we're fighting aren't worth calling those forces up. We'll simply upgrade the amount of suppressive forces from the original ten million to seventeen million, with options for increase. However, we will not excede twenty million; we still have a city to defend here. This will be good for all business- there's nothing better than a war-time economy for us, considering our main corporate focuses," the Head of the Board, President of Philcass Arms Manufacturing, said to the Board, grinning slyly at his colleagues, all presidents of the seven top corporations in the City.

"What are we going to do about the prisoners of war," asked the ever-mindful human rights activist and President of Drax Technologies asked.

"Just send them to work in the uranium mines!" answered the newest President of Nukes4You Uranium Mining and Refining.

"How about we just set up humane prisoner camps for most of them. Well, except for those Remiesian pricks, those who kill our citizens without regard- you can have those," replied the Drax Technologies President.

"Hahaha! Buddy, you got yourself a dea-" the President of Nukes4You was cut off by an intern of the Board, who just walked in and handed a manilla folder to the Philcass President and Head of the Board. The President studied the papers inside the folder for a seemingly long time. The President then looked up at his colleagues.

"Well, Sniper Country is also very concerned about our supply routes. his fleets are currently focused on the port of Hon- Hon- whatever, and they're worried that enemy forces might strike out at our supply lines, especially betwixt Sniper Country and his fleets. Any ideas, gentlemen- and lady?"

"Well, we're not currently using the Second Kamov Fleet, are we?" asked the Head of Corley Motors- the only female onthe Board.

"Isn't that the one under that dang loose cannon, Stokov?" asked the Head of the Board, as if he didn't know- he owned the fleet.

"Yes, but I think he has just the appropriate finesse for this situation."

"Yeah- destroying everything in his path- that's a fine finesse!" the President of Comstar Rentals said excitedly. He was eager to take revenge for his dead and dying employees in Omz222.

"Excellent. We'll get all this drawn up and put into place immediately. Let Sniper Country know the cavalry is on its way, and tell them they better make more room- we have seven million more on their way. Lady and Gentlemen, Omni Conglomerates is now at a defacto state of war with Omz222, Clan Smoke Jaguar, Liberty Fighters,and Remiesia. This meeting is now adjourned," the Head of the Board said with finality and order in his accord.

(Second Kamov Fleet:

(12) AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Agamemnon Class

(100) RECON (PT) BOATS
Petty Tempest Class

(50) DESTROYERS

OOC: Sorry about the late response, can't stand the stomach ache from the infection :oops: :x

IC:

"The only real problem with the J-MOB is that the thing's so big that it can soak up a lot of damage and still be fully operational. Outside of that, it's just a giant target.

It's no good if the target makes any sudden maneuvers, but there will still be no indication of a radar lock until the missile hits, so there's a good hit probability."

"For the J-MOB, our men are working on planning a full assualt on this giant. Perhaps electric warfare can play a huge role into disrupting the air traffic control of the J-MOB? We have quite a few Tacit Rainbows, HARMs, plus your Cicada, Firecrackers, and Bottle Rockets. But the primary goal before the assualt on the J-MOB is still, nertualize the enemy naval forces.... And that's a big task"

He leaned onto the confort leather chair behind him a little, then continued, "Of course, I've already heard about this special system to counter stealthy aircraft. We predict that there will be a good hit probability, with the assistance of our remaining F-24 interceptors armed with AIM-254 Super Phoenixes. The AIM-254 are already modified to accept a data link to AWACS. Perhaps there's some possible way to get the datalink also onto the 'sensor network? In a previous conflict, the F-24s at least has a decent speed of chasing down the stealth aircraft. With the help of the sensor network, plus the link to the Grendel, it would be perfect."

The Omzian Colonel, after hearing the news on the radio, joked to his Liberty Fighters counterpart (Hawk).

Calmly he said, "just some mess going on near the city of Honjaksgrad."

*********************

Omzian Vansara Province Military Command Complex, Near Vansara City
June 28th, 2016. 3:28AM
[OOC Insertation: Read OOC thread, people.]

The news about the "Victory Night" is all around Omzian nation, citizens of Osaria can be seen rallying around the street, chanting slogans praising the Omzian and Remiesian forces. But however, the group of commanders here, commanding the Omzian Army II Corps, are still cold and worried.

Lt. Gen. Janue H. Hagras is the first to start. In the cold night, he said calmly in the dim light. "Report has reached further, that more troop mobilization will be commerced by the imperalists at Sniper COuntry. Although Operation Lightening will be held off and the forces will be returning to their bases, the preparations for DEFCON 1 and the situation will commerce. The news is that a few divisions will be moving to areas near Honjaksgrad, securing the city, while the rest of the Army and Reserves will be still on alert."

The other one, General Honjak Langley, is still concerned. "So this People's Militia will just sit there and do nothing?"

The Lt. Gen., who is smaller than him, replied with a cold tune. "What do you expect? These 4.2 million butts are sitting ducks, no necessary force. Anyways, more Armored and Mechanized Infantry Division within our Corps will be moving, plus the fact that the Air Force has also notified to prepare for an air war, a big one. So is the naval battle and ground battle. Our people are determined."

The General, who always acts as if he is below the Lieutenant General, grinned. "Of course," he chuckled a little.

The Blackhawk touched down on the helipad at Vansark-Urankas Air Force Base amidst a swirl of dust. The ground crew at the pad knew something was up when they noticed the five-star pattern stenciled on the cargo doors, which quickly slid open.

General Mark Pennington ducked out from under the still-spinning rotor blades, flanked by a Captain (his aide), and two SEALs carrying M4 carbines (bodyguards - he's the commanding General of all my forces in Omz).

The Omzian officers awaited for the Remiesian General in this small Air Force base in the harsh mountain region. The weather will be harsh, but nontherless, they are in a positive manner.

The first to greet General Pennington is the Omzian Lieutenant General Vansarq Kursuk, a major player of the planning of the rumoured but delayed Operation Lightening. Wearing several medals and pins on his chest, he saluted the General. "Welcome to Omzian Democratic Republic, friend. I suppose we have some business to attend?"

From one of the HARM Carriers, twelve F-13B Beacats took off, in order to engage any air targets, incluing the AC-130s. On another HARM, twelve F-13B Bearcats took off to do just the opposite- take out SAM targets scattered throughout the plains outside Honjaksgrad. An E-3 was already in the air, having taken off from the RedDragon Carrier.

Still, there were the 24 F/A-22C Raptors on patrol, from 2 different Tactical Fighter squadrons. They were primarily patrolling Honjaksgrad, trying to estabilish air superiority. Suddenly, a group of 6 F/A-22Cs detected 4 F-13Bs.

One pilot of the F/A-22C, First Lieutenant John Pherson -- one of those from the parts of Northwest Omzian Island where the English settlers has stayed -- suddenly spotted a total of 4 aircraft objects on his advanced LPI radar, plus the IRST modification attached. Loaded with 6 AIM-238 and 2 AIM-201, he was very confident.

"Unknown aircraft detected. Stay on alert."

With that, he was completely ready to do any ACM manuverings -- to engage them, if they are enemy aircraft.

=========================

Citizens in Honjaksgrad rushed in fury, stocking up food and supplies, and leaving the city to their parents' homes in smaller villages --- a "custom". Schools are cancelled, businesses are shut down, and even hospitals are evacuated, to have patients to immediately move to other places. However, the unfortunate --- the poor class, still stays.

At least, they have bunkers if there will be a carpetbombing. But they are also confident that air superiority is there --- at least, for the military-minded.

15-11-2003, 21:37

In the city...

Robinson's gunner looked up as the commander slumped down into the turret, his head gone.

F*ck.

Taking over, the gunner saw the OC men rushing the buildings and brought their weapons to bear, continuing to turn them into mincemeat(they wasted all their AT weapons on buildings! Ha!).

Three Cobras (not Comanches) were hit with SAMs and went down, crashing into the streets and throwing debris everywhere. The other choppers continued to pummel the OC troops with rockets and cannon fire, adding to the mess created by the pair of Spectres orbiting high above.

OOC: Not every paratrooper was hit by a rocket :roll:

IC: Seeing the front lines starting to crumble, more of the 173rd troops engaged the OC forces - rifle squads moved up to close with the enemy under a solid base of M203 and M240 fire.

Norton recomposed himself on the second floor of the building.

You stupid f*ck, pull yourself together! He grabbed his helmet and slapped it back on his head and looked around for a weapon - he picked up a blood-soaked M240 and draped a spare belt over his shoulders. When he finally drained the ammo for the machinegun, he still had a Glock 21 strapped to his hip and a K-Bar on his ankle.

He clomped down the stairs of the shattered building and saw that things on the first floor were no better. Several paratroopers bolted out the back, apparantly headed for better cover to regroup.

A trickle of blood ran from his temple and he looked about with a crazed expression on his face - seeing a half dozen OC troops entering the building through the windows.

Stepping out into the open (in the building, that is), he jutted his hip forward and held the M240's trigger down, walking 7.62mm rounds into the troops, blasting them backwards against walls and out the already-shattered windows.

He watched them flail and fall with a maniacal grin on his face, watching the heavy rounds slam into their bodies from no more than twenty feet away, sending chunks of flesh spraying in all directions, leaving bloody smears all over the place.

Brass tinkled all over the floor and he finally stopped shooting, seeing that all of them were dead or down.

Laughing, he dropped to a knee and balanced the weapon on a windowframe, lining up the troops out in the street, and walking long bursts into them.

"Come, fairies, it's time to die!"

He emptied the gun, reloaded the belt, fired all of it, drew his pistol, and decided it was time to link up with some other paratroopers.

Norton left the shattered building and the shattered bodies of hundreds of soldiers from both sides behind him.

---------------------------------------------

The E-767 operators saw the SC aircraft launching.

- Viper Six, Big Bird - count 24 bandits inbound to your position.

- Understood, Big Bird. the Raptor commander said. This shouldn't be too tough - his sixteen birds and another 24 Omzian Raptors were flying CAP. The Sniper Country fighter pilots had better have said their prayers before takeoff.

He toggled to his AMRAAMs with a flick of hs thumb and waved to his wingman to prepare to engage.

- Do you copy? "Big Bird" asked the Omzian Raptor flight leader.

--------------------------------------------------

OOC: Norton will be my "man on the street" - I'll use him to try and get a lot of detail and stuff, so don't kill him :wink: He's not Rambo, he's just VERY pissed off.

And the E-767's radar burns through most stealth at a range of about 20 miles, so we'll still see your stealth birds coming.

Omz222

15-11-2003, 21:45

Indeed, from the Remiesian E-767, the pilots has received the infomation about the F-13B. Cleared to engage from BVR range from the datalink, the lead pilot of a group of 12 F/A-22Cs, codename "Gamma 1", answered back.

"Understood, Big Bird. Cleared to engage."

His heart raced, as he selected bore air-to-air mode on his HUD. "AIM238", it read in another corner. Even though he is engaging at a 9-12 o'clock position, he led the forces by firing 2 of the AIM-238 Cockatrice medium range AAM at the lead F-13B. Clearly, the F-13B will react, and he has prepared for it. Quickly, as a percaution, he dived down 120 degrees, and then up.

He give no remorse for imperalists who wants to take his homeland, slaughter his family, and humiliate his forces. He has prepared for a BVR fight, and a dogfight. Leading his team, he didn't care. What he cared is to get a few kills.

15-11-2003, 21:53

Pennington returned the salute to General Kursuk and they headed to the bunkers. Pennington, a big man, was an ex-paratrooper himself and had a Silver Star and Purple Heart pinned to his breast under his broad shoulders.

"Thanks for the welcome," he said, not breaking stride. "We've got lots to attend to - primarily the fact that I don't know how long the 173rd can hold the city.

"We've got massive amounts of air support and crack troops down there, but intel says Sniper Country aircraft are inbound and more of their amphibious troops are inbound."

He stopped and turned to face the Omzian officers.

"If they get those additional troops ashore, the 173rd is going to get overrun. At that point, the city is gone."

---------------------------------------

- Weapons free, Gamma Leader, you're cleared to engage. Happy hunting.

Captain Jeff Kozlowski fidgeted slightly in the seat of the Raptor, wishing that they'd start maing ejection seats more comfortable.

Oh well, time to kick ass, he thought.

- Fox Three, he called as the weapons bay doors swung open and an AMRAAM was dropped into the slipstream, falling away from the belly of the plane before the rocket ignited and the rocket motor propelled it to Mach 3+, sending it streaking towards the SC aircraft.

The rest of the fighters under his command started loosing their missiles as well, and he watched the smoke trails as the Slammers faded into the distance.

Omz222

15-11-2003, 22:25

The Omzian F/A-22Cs, although still not too near their Remiesian friends, followed the lead of Sierra 1. The planes scattered, even a few kilometers between some planes, readying themself to engage the Sniper Country aircraft with a strong force. Suddenly, more Cockatrice medium range air-to-air missiles were fired from the weapons bays, leaving a barrage of trail of smoke. Some AIM-152 ALRAAMs are also fired --- about 4 or 6 to be exact.

The missiles together, along with their -- somehow, inferior --- Slammer counterparts, streaked with an amazing speed of Mach 4.4, and their active radar seeker --- which is much more resistant to ECM than the AMRAAM's (which is vulnverable to modern ECM).

Calls of "Fox Three" can be heard from the radio, the pilots prepares themself from another barrage of missiles.

The remaining F/A-22Cs, awaits for the response by the F-13s as they. But they might have other threats to face later --- the B-52Hs with the F-15Es.

The F/A-22C pilots scrambled, upon hearing various messages from their newly-installed "Voice Command and Infomation System". "Active radar missile fired at six o'clock, semi-active radar missile fired at 8 o'clock", it roamed through. Although the automatic chaff/flare-ejection scheme from the ECM systems commerced, they kept pressing "the button".

One pilot, codename "Sierra 5", is a young one. Just barely passed out of training, he panicked when he heard the message about an active radar missile was fired at his 6 o'clock position --- the tail. Almost shaking, he directed his plane to dive down at 160 degrees and fired almost thousands of chaff and flare until it almost got empty. Despite this, he yelled into the commbox: "I've gotten a missile locked at my tail!"

The ringleader, Sierra 1, continued to fire its chaff to evade the missiles. Hearing the message, he answered bitterly, "Shut up and f*** it, fight and die like a soldier." That was only his message before the AIM-120s slammed onto his engines, causing a fire. Right Engine Fire, Left Engine Fire, Engine Failure, Control Surfaces Failure, Eelctrics System Failure... he pulled the eject handle, and ejected onto a farm --- not so near Honjaksgrad though. A spectular bailout, he survived. The plane however, slammed onto a hill.

The Sierra 5, however, continued on, until he was also hit --- also on the tailpipe. Immediately, being a young pilot, he pulled the ejection handle --- and ejected onto a grassfield of another farm. He survived too. "Fight and die like a soldier...," he is a soldier --- only in the Air Force. He repeated it again as a group of farmers surrounded him, curious, wondering whether Sierra 1 survived or not.

The rest however, dived down at multiple G's --- which requires the missile to turn another several times that force, making it impossible. Despite this, another 3 of the remaining 10 were hit --- with one pilot killed immediately.

Omzian National Air Defence Command Bunker #3, Near Janue-Granans County, Northeast Omz222

The massive, nuclear-blast-proof bunker is busy again. Flashing with lights, the Smoke Jaguar personnel are also in it, operating the air defence systems across Omz222, protecting the large cities. Formly a Nuclear Strike Command Bunker for a series of silos many years ago, this is now one of the hearts of the Omzian Air Defence and Ballistic Missile Defence Center. Operators are now poised to strike aircrafts, instead of cities, that is.

Because the Omzian SAM sites scattered near Honjaksgrad are still unbombed by the F-13s, they continued to monitor the air space, and having a data-link with the centers --- along with the early-warning radars there, plus the Omzian E-3s and Remiesian E-767s. The Grendel battery tracked the wide airspace with its 280km detection range, with another Skymer radar covering an impressive 600km. Despite the advanced features of these radars to have the ability to detect cruise missiles and stealth aircraft like the B-2 and F-117, the TR-2s are still not efficently tracked.

The group of operators stared at the huge map of Omz222, with a bunch of lights flashing, as if they are the lights of the city. Complex but yet important, they represent the foundations of the Omzian air defence system.

One operator, after hearing about a detection of several "unknown objects" by the powerful radar of the Skymer (ironically, which is more designed to detect ballistic missiles but is also good at detecting stealth aircraft) and the lost of track of the,, the operator tapped several commands into his console. and said via the speaker, "report suggests undentified objects spotted and lost track of near Honjaksgrad. Persumed aircraft. View command console for details."

With that, they were poised to strike --- aircraft, that is. As soon as the radars finally get to track these aircraft --- which would be a very hard thing to do --- they would be directed to fire. Hopefully, can get 1 or 2 of those "objects".

*******************

In the meanwhile, the army forces are still not reaching its destination --- but near. Just a few moments until they arrive.

Hooo boy, where do I start...

OOC first:

At one instance, a wounded soldier from Remiesia was seen withering on the ground. An allied soldier ran over to him with a medical kit, only to be gunned down by the enemy.

Well that's not very nice :(

And Norton never left the building - he was on a knee, shooting through a first-floor window :wink:

he dropped to a knee and balanced the weapon on a windowframe

IC:

- Whiskey lead, watch it!

- F*ck, I'm hit, I'm hit!

- Six-Two is goin' down!

- HOLEEEEEEE SHIIIIIIIIII-

The Cobras swithced gears as best they could, firing back with Stingers, but four more of them were blotted out of the sky and smashed into the pavement below.

One chopper autorotated into an alleyway and the crew bailed out - only to round a corner and come face to face with an enemy squad, who cut the two pilots down mercilessly (so there :P)

The enemy gunships picked out the Ridgeways and Strykers first - an intelligent move (and a freebie) - and started turning them into scrap metal.

The last thing Robinson's gunner saw was the smoke trail headed right for him. The Ridgeway exploded into thousands of pieces, flinging shrapnel everywhere, to the horror of some nearby infantrymen.

Up on a rooftop, one observer spotted the landing of SC troops and called it in to HQ.

- This is Lion Three, request fire mission - grid coordinates (whatever), HE and contact, fire when ready.

- Recieved and understood, Lion, the Paladin battery responded. Within a minute or two, the 155mm shells were on their way to the beach - again.

Shells rained down on the fresh Marines, who otherwise drew no fire from the city - all assets were tied up trying to stop the arterial bleed that was the front lines.

- F*ck, I've got no shot on these assholes! called one Spectre pilot to the other.

- Same here.

- Kingpin flight, Big Bird - advise you bug out, enemy fighters inbound.

- Copy that Big Bird, scramming now. The pilot switched frequencies. Sorry guys, we gotta get out of here - good luck.

Up on another rooftop, two Airborne troopers stood up in their sandbagged position and loosed a Stinger at the fist enemy chopper they saw before they were liquified by a chain gun from another.

On the street, it was pandemonium.

Norton was making for a squad cowering in a corner shop when the facade of the building was blown away by a Hellfire. Over the din he heard the clomping of enemy boots around the corner - apparantly the Airborne troopers over there had been wiped out. Blindly, he flung a frag in their general direction and beat feat for safer ground, linking up with another squad a couple of minutes later.

Other paratroopers gritted their teeth and slugged it out with the onrushing troops, often blazing away on automatic as ranges were little more than point blank.

Outnumbered, the paratroopers' faint hopes of weathering the assault quickly dropped as they saw MORE enemy troops entering the city.

"We gotta get outta here!" someone shouted.

"FALL BACK!" the cry went up and those who were able to do so tried to do just that.

The remaining Strykers and Ridgeways - fewer dozen total out of almost fifty - were transformed from killing machines into refugee boats, piled high with as many troops as could jump aboard. All command and control shot to hell, they raced for the opposite side of the city as best they could, hoping to get out of there as quickly as they could.

One platoon, decimated, low on ammo, and pinned down, was stuck in a half-wrecked cafe, firing out the windows as best they could. They suddenly realized they were quite alone and stopped firing, ducking out of sight. They knew it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.

"What do we do?" asked one of them.

"We can't surrender to those guys - they'll kill us first!"

"There's a back door in the kitchen," one squaddie said, leaning out the kitchen door into the main part of the cafe. "Let's go, now!"

"I've had it," one private said, and started getting up. He was grabbed by the sergeant and slammed back to the floor.

"You're Airborne, McCabe - not some straight-leg pussy!"

The private broke his grasp and scrambled out the door, weaponless.

A group of enemy soldiers was heading right for him, not fifty yards away. He stood there, hands at his sides, staring at them.

The rest of the squad watched from cover.

Meanwhile, three Cobras were left, having made the decision to run for it. They made a beeline back to the nearest Omzian base.

-------------------------------------------

Captain Kozlowski watched as several targets dropped off his JTIDS.

Now where were these other bastards going? he wondered, watching the blips on his display still being tracked by the powerful search radar on the AWACS bird.

He banked his Raptor and looked down over the wing at the scene below - there wasn't anybody left down there but enemy troops.

Explosions from the Omzian flight caught his eye and a couple of the -Cs went down in flames - thankfully he spotted at least one chute.

- Let's pop a couple of those choppers to get 'em off our guys backs' and let's get the hell out of here, he said angrily into his radio.

------------------------------------------------------

A Lieutenant Colonel riding in the back of one of the overstuffed Strykers made the radio call back to command:

- The city is lost. We've taken catastrophic losses and are retreating.

------------------------------------------------

OOC: Which ships are you headed for? Mine?

Report from Honjacksgrad:

22 (of 25) M8 Ridgeways destroyed
20 (of 25)Strykers destroyed
5 (of eight) AH-1Z Cobras down
1,949 (of 2500) paratroopers killed
88 left behind - 26 pinned down, the rest severely wounded

Retreating:
463 paratroopers

3 Cobras
All Raptors bugging out, none lost

Although we are deep saddened by the news that the imperalists' has almost taken Honjaksgrad, and the news that your Paradrop forces is suffering, we propose a full retailation assualt, primarily backed with our Infantry (Mechanized) Divisions, fitted for urban combat. We propose that if applicatable, Remiesia is to join the forces from Omzian Army II Corps to launch an assualt on the city from the northwest outskirts of Honjaksgrad, where Sniper Country still hasn't set their foot on. After this, the infantry will dig deeper, launch an armored and infantry assualt on the city, plus air raids by AH-93C Firebird helicopter-gunships, and Omzian Air Force Special Operations AC-130U Spooky gunships, plus some Sniper Country-made ACH-47C "Guns-a-go" we've purchased from Sniper Country a while ago before the conflict.

We express our sorrow for the dead, they will be very much honoured within Omzian nation. However, we also await for the reply to this proposal.

The 173rd Airborne is falling back to Vansark-Urankas Air Force Base and has been decimated. They will not be getting back into the fight anytime soon.

However, the 34th Marine division, which we have held in reserve, is at your beck and call - we can have them join your forces immediately for an assault if you wish. Let us know how many of them you require (see below for strength).

We also wish to know what you want the 27th Infantry and 6th Cavalry to do - we are inclined to withdraw them from harm's way until a plan of counterattack is formulated, but we will wait for your decision.

END

OOC: Okay, my divisions are just sitting there waiting for something to do - I think we should move them back to a safer area and use them to counterattack the main invasion when Barbarosea comes bac - in other words abandon their fortifications and fall back where they won't get hit by bombers and crap.

Also, my 4th Armored Division is still in the Northwest of the country, waiting for orders.

The Marines I held in reserve (accounting for the losses of the 5 Cobras):

8 UH-1-4BN Hueys
23 AH-1Z King Cobras
36 AV-8B Harriers
60 AAV7A1s
25 M1A3 Abrams
15 M198 155mm towed howitzers

Understood, the 173rd will be sent to a safe location, and be taken care of. Our men will repair all equipments, and refit them.

We also think that it is best to secretly form this force first, then hold off the attack until additional Sniper Country froces arrives. this way, we can finish off the forces quickly and efficently, while not taking too many losses and giving them a sort of a suprise.

We will be most likely sending 2 Mechanized Infantry Divisions to the assualt in total, along with air power. Of course, we also await for the Smoke Jaguars to make their decision. Pre-preparatory attacks will also be attacked on transports if the Barbaroseans --- who will mostly likely to send a barrage of forces and without what it seems proper support and logistics --- if they attempts to land an additional barrage of forces. Supply lines attacks are also vital to large forces, so keep that in mind.

Understood. The 34th Marines will prepare for a counterattack but are holding position for now.

The question remains though - shall we pull back the 6th and 27th and have them join in the upcoming counterattack? They are taking casualties where they are, and are increasingly vulnerable to air attacks.

If you wish, we can also start moving the 4th Armored to join your forces - but that will take some time as they have quite a distance to travel.

All T.V channels throughout Omz222 went fuzzy, then faded to black. A low ominous tone rang through the speakers as the picture faded in. Standing in front of the camera was Warlord Damien Dreadfire, and after clearing his throat, he spoke in a demonic voice.

People of Omz222, here my words. Your govnermnet has laughed and mocked us for the final time. Your government has driven the final nail in it's own coffin, and the pallbearers will be arriving soon to claim what is left. Already you are feeling the wrath that is begining to rain upon you, already you are feeling the flame as it intensifies. Every wicked and hateful thing your leaders have done has whipped and spun into form, and at the head of it all sits the Sentinels.

<Camera cuts to war footage from New Spartha. The T.V is filled with images of villages burning and men dying in the streets. Children weap as their brutalized mothers lay lifeless upon the Earth, and the Sentinels roll through town after town, pillaging and burning everything in their path. And over all the images, Damien speaks again.>

This is the fate that will await you, this is the fate your leaders have wished on you. The Sentinels are coming to claim what's theirs...and that is your soul. They will devour everything in their path, leaving a desolate and scarred wasteland behind them. Already we have set sail and shortly the end will be upon you, for this is the fate your government has decided for you. It does not have to end like this, but at this point..there is not much that can be done. The wheels of the AMF was machine have begun spinning once again, and under it's blood soaked tracks will lay the broken bodies of all Omz troops. Once the Sentinels have finished devouring your nation, a black cloud shall hover over Omz for all time, it's inhabitants forever silenced.

This is what I have forseen, and this is the punishment that awaits you, for you the people of Omz have done nothing to prevent such actions. At any rate....we'll be seeing you soon....

"For the J-MOB, our men are working on planning a full assualt on this giant. Perhaps electric warfare can play a huge role into disrupting the air traffic control of the J-MOB? We have quite a few Tacit Rainbows, HARMs, plus your Cicada, Firecrackers, and Bottle Rockets. But the primary goal before the assualt on the J-MOB is still, nertualize the enemy naval forces.... And that's a big task"

He leaned onto the confort leather chair behind him a little, then continued, "Of course, I've already heard about this special system to counter stealthy aircraft. We predict that there will be a good hit probability, with the assistance of our remaining F-24 interceptors armed with AIM-254 Super Phoenixes. The AIM-254 are already modified to accept a data link to AWACS. Perhaps there's some possible way to get the datalink also onto the 'sensor network? In a previous conflict, the F-24s at least has a decent speed of chasing down the stealth aircraft. With the help of the sensor network, plus the link to the Grendel, it would be perfect."

"We can have our engineers look into doing that, though I'm afraid it may take some time to get such a link working, even if the AIM-254 already does have a similar capability."

"As for the J-MOB and fleet assets they have, we have a few things in store for them, including the new AGM-271 Shinma (FOTH project), which has the first batch of missiles coming out soon, along with aircraft to launch them."

OOC: AMF, you can't operate F-15s from carriers. They're too big and heavy, and can't stand the stress.

16-11-2003, 05:49

General Pennington, who had been watching news updates to see what the press was saying about the latest actions, watched the takeover by AMF and shook his head.

"Friggin' excellent," he said to the Captain. "Send the word to the Admiral that we'll be needing his ships to start kicking ass pretty soon."

The aide nodded and walked out of the room to find some commo gear.

Dammit, he fumed inwardly, I need to know what to do with the 6th and the 27th!

Thankfully Malden (Remiesian capital) was authorizing more force deployments, including the 15th Mechanized Infantry and additional Air Force Units.

----------------------------------------

Sergeant Norton was back at the Omzian air force base, eating a hot meal for the first time in several days and enjoying not having massive amounts of lead flying around.

One of the other 173rd survivors was sitting nearby, still visibly shaken.

Norton looked at him. "You okay, man?"

The soldier did not answer and continued staring straight ahead with a glazed look in his eyes.

"Don't worry - the straight-leggers are gonna pound the shit out of those guys, and we'll probably get the chance to give 'em a little more hell later on."

Probably not, he thought, but I want to.

-----------------------------------------

OOC: Task Force 2 (the escort group from before), is setting sail with the 15th in cargo. It will be arriving in Omz tomorrow afternoon (real time) and offloading in the western part of the country - so they won't be in range of anyone's attacks.

"Very good, the AIM-254 will be presented to your engineers, although we prohibit them from reverse-engineer it as we only license-produced them from Ell."

Hearing the news about the AGM-271 Shinma finally being finished, it excited him. "The FOTH is finally finished now? Very interesting, we are sure that these has great potental. Is it possible for us to purchase or preorder some of these missiles immediately, as we need a desperate replacement for the Harpoon F?"

"The Shinma will naturally be available to you, and we have a team en-route to help with production. Still, it will take some time for either nation to start producing the missiles in truly significant numbers. Our first run is for only 250 of each of three types. However, we calculate that this missile is over three times as likely to evade enemy defensive measures, and our new CSA aircraft, which we're also offering, can carry up to 6-8 missiles."

"I see...," the Lt. Gen. thought about it for a while. Being not really good at production numbers, nontherless, he spoke for the entire military. "Oh, we are sure that enough will be available to us as a complement to the Harpoon F variants for now. Are there also a standoff land attack variant of this missile, similar to the SLAM-ER we are using right now? At factories at our 'safe' territories at the northern areas, the production run could run pertty good."

He also thought about the CSA aircraft. Although not really an interest of the Navy unless it will seem exceptionally promising, he answered anyways.

"The land attack versions of the Shinma aren't quite finished yet, as we had to really rush development just to get this far. However, they will be available soon, with us only needing to integrate a guidence package and possibly provisions for submunition warheads."
"The CSA uses two different, but similar, airframes. Both airframes are completely new, but minimum specifications were to exceed the S-3B Viking in virtually all areas for one of them, and to beat out the C-2 series for the other. Both frames include variants that provide a significant advantage over their predecessors, in cost, capability, and mobility."
"Understood. On the contrast, can the Shinma be deployed via truck-mounted mobile Harpoon launchers, to be deployed immediately, as this missile is said to have the capability to be launched from ground, air, and shipborne launchers of the Harpoon with little changes?"

Upon the word about the CSA, he smiled. Although definately not a navy expert (as he is in the Army), he does know a little about Air Force and Navy weaponeries, so he replied again, "the CSA indeed sounds nice. I'm sure the Navy will be happy to consider having the CSA to replace their ES-3As and S-3Bs, E-2s and C-2Cs or whatever they call it, and others. Not a navy expert here."

OOC: Not neccessarily. Add an arresting hook and some different landing gear and it's possible.
It's not just the landing gear that would have to be strengthened. It's the whole airframe. As I understand it, you could probably operate F-15s from the J-MOB, but it's more than a bit of a stretch to use a Nimitz.

It's not just the landing gear that would have to be strengthened. It's the whole airframe. As I understand it, you could probably operate F-15s from the J-MOB, but it's more than a bit of a stretch to use a Nimitz.

OOC: I don't understand why you'd have to reinforce the frame, but at any rate, it is possible for F-15's and F-16's to take off and land on carriers. The US Navy had special landing gear developed so that they could, but the idea never really caught on because F-14's did the job better.

Colonel Cline smiled. "Well, we can't all know everything, and I'm not entirely in my element when talking about aircraft either.
"As for the Shinma, it's only slightly larger than the harpoon, and can fit in most launchers, including ground ones, with some modification. It does require additional fire control though."
"No. As you know, I'm definately not an Air Force person or a Navy shipman.

Anyways, this is a very promising sign for all 3 branches. How long should be the time for the integration process for the new Shinma missile?"

EDIT:

OOC: I don't understand why you'd have to reinforce the frame, but at any rate, it is possible for F-15's and F-16's to take off and land on carriers. The Navy had special landing gear developed so that they could, but the idea never really caught on because F-14's did the job better.

OOC: I heard that the YF-17, an aircraft smiliar to the F-16 in a light fighter competition could, but later when the Navy really tested, it can't operate off carriers reliably.

As that being said, the navy also considered the F-111 to be a Naval fighter too, but then it never got on because the same reason. plus a few other reasons which made it not being a good choice for a general Navy fighter.

But still being a newbie at this area, I'll hear what CSJ have to say.

Also, any further OOC discussion about this will go to the OOC thread.

"We expect that it will be several months before it can be deployed in truly significant numbers. But until then, there will be a few missiles available that we can make significant use of. One point of significance is that the enemy will have little information as to just how many of the missiles are in our arsenals, and just a few strikes should put some fear into their naval forces."

"Sounds very good. Is it within your recommendations to use the missile as a complement to the existing Firebolt and Harpoon missiles? By all means, we would need to conceal as much infomation about this as possible."

Omni Conglomerates

16-11-2003, 07:58

After landing in Honjaksgrad the men of the 2nd and 5th Infantry Divisions, in conjuction with the 1st and 2nd Special Operation Regiments and the 1st Armored Division, made a temporary base out of an only slightly damaged Wal-Mart. The first action done once the area around the beaches of the city were secured was to take care of the injured mercenaries from the Comstar Corporation that had been hired by Sniper Country to storm the beachfront.

The 2nd Spec Ops and the 2nd Infantry were tasked with recon in and around the city, smoking out the enemy forces, and quelling any civilian attempts at resistance. This was a task these men and women were ideally suited for since all of the them had recieved their training fighting in the Union Wars and the Tariff Uprising of 2001. All members of the Omni Conglomerates forces were excellent at urban warfare since the nation of Omni Conglomerates was made up of one supermassive city. This adept knowledge of urban combat would suit them perfectly for fighting in the major cities of Omz.

-----------------

The Kamov Fleet was having little difficulty patrolling the supply routes between the Omni Conglomerates, Sniper Country, and Omz. The few intermittent contacts that the fleet had were only small scout ships and even those were not confirmed as belonging to the enemy. The fleet stood, nevertheless, at an uneasy state of alert waiting for an enemy ship to come into range.

"Absolutely. We should use it to complement existing missiles, but keep it under wraps as much as possible. The less the enemy knows, the greater the myth becomes."

"Sounds very good. Should cause an additional psylogical effect, as said."

Just after this long talk, the speaker announced, landing within 10 minutes. Please dress up for mountain climate.

As the plane hurled down, the Lt. Gen. warned Colonel Cline. "Better dress up as you go down the airplane, they say there will be a storm of some sorts."

*************************

"SAM enforcements in effect for protection against enemy bomber and strike aircraft. CAPs are staying with a few survived Raptor-Cs. Early warning provided with E-3s. Get into your positions."

With that word, the soldiers sorrounding the wide Honjaksgrad metropolitican area, quickly rushed to their positions, trying to hide from enemy bombers. The Grendel and Vespa SAMs would protect them, as they knew it. Soon, when it is safe, they will immediately attempt to root all enemy forces --- although with the air force also involved, with primarily the AC-130Us gunships, and A-114 and AMF-10A tank-killer jets. However, they also wanted to use some of Sniper Country's own ACH-47s --- to teach them a lesson.

************************

The Stealth Corvettes and Missile Boats (Wyvern aand Hydra Classes) silently dug themselves into position near Honjaksgrad. Even though theenemy may land themselves somewhere else --- they couldn't just let Honjaksgrad be the villain's command center. Armed with Harpoon and Firebolt missiles, plus smaller Thunderbolts for the missile boats, they are on the minute's notice to strike. Also new on the corvette is the BGM-233 Cicada, a modified version of the BGM-210 Naginata cruise missile. "Armed" with a tactical jammer instead of an actual explosive, for jamming search and tracking radars, it would hopefully degrade the chance of getting the other AS missile shot down greatly.

- Ghostrider Six from Big Bird...enemy heavies inbound to the city. I count several fightter escorts as well.

- Understood, Big Bird, came the reply from the lead Black Widow. Splitting off CAP and moving to intercept.

The eight Black Widows banked away to the North, arming their AMRAAMs and sorting targets with the help of their JTIDS - the enemy aircraft had no idea they were here.

- Missile Command, Big Bird - we're vectoring our CAP birds in to intercept. Keep your fingers off those triggers until our guys have cleared the area, over.

The lead Black Widow pilot grinned behind his oxygen mask. Man, these guy knew jack about how to launch a bombing raid! BUFFs with no jamming support and some ground-pounders as escorts? What was the matter with these guys?

It hardly mattered - he and his flight would be ruining their day momentarily.

Just a little further...

He didn't have to remind his pilots to gun for the bombers first - the Strike Eagles wouldn't know what was going on until BUFFs started dropping, and for all he cared the SAMs could deal with the -Es.

The B-52s were about the size of flying stadiums on the E-767's radar, and that feed was coming straight to the F-23's MFDs.

Perfect.

- Fox Three, he called as the weapons bay dropped an AMRAAM and it streaked towards the bombers. His flight followed suit, launching a pair of AIM-120s a piece towards the lumbering bombers.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Remiesian fleet was breaking off from their Omzian counterparts and heading east to intercept the newcomers.

Their intel was solid - they outgunned the AMF fleet in a major way. Nearly 70 surface combatants and submarines were cruising out to meet their new foes - and send them to the bottom of the sea.

"Send the subs up ahead but tell them to hold their fire," the Admiral instructed his officers. "When they pinpoint the AMF fleet, we launch our missiles, then our aircraft, and the subs finish off the survivors. I don't want those Sentinel bastards reaching Omz."

The officers nodded their understanding and a long pause filled the stateroom.

"This is going to be a turkey shoot," one of the younger officers said suddenly.

The old Admiral looked at him, then cracked a smile.

"Yeah, it probably will be. I wonder what that red-skinned freak is going to think when he hears about what we did to his precious navy."

The officers laughed it up for a few moments and headed back to their stations to prepare for the action.

--------------------------------------------------------

The commanders of the 6th Cavalry and the 27th Infantry couldn't have been happier to see the last of their forces pull back from around the city - those heavies would have done a number on them, since one always had to assume the worst.

The two divisions, a little dinged up from cruise missile strikes, reformed with the gathering horde of Remiesian and Omzian troops, tucked safely under a tightly-woven SAM and CAP umbrella.

"Might as well watch the show," one NCO told his men, pointing off to the horizon.

Engagement Control Cnter Skymer Launch Unit
Near Honjaksgrad Metropolitican Area

The unit of the fully-loaded Grendel and Skymer systems, stayed on to search for any hostile aircraft. Data-linked with the E-3s on the air, it could cover a wide-range of airspace. The passive, long-range radars scanned the deep, open blue sky, with its low-frequency search, tracking, and fire control radar designed for engaging stealth aircraft --- something that is a threat in the 21st century, with the Symer's high-powered radar scanned as much as just outside any aircraft would approach. Just as the bomber approached, the low-frequencey signals bounnced off the bombers slightly. Although the "defence system" teh Smoke Jaguars has setup is nowhere near Honjaksgrad, the Gendel and Skymey is sufficent to protect from the threats of stealth aircraft, high-altitude and fast-flying aircraft, and various missiles. Though, although the Grendel is also effective, most of the job of trying to engage high-stealth bombers and high/fast-flying bombers are left to the Skymer, something they had trustd on for the theatre long-range air defence.

The operators, who are prepared for any kind of attack, had their chemical gas masks on standby --- ever since the history where Sniper Country used VX on Omz222 and allies in a previous war. They stared at the large radar screen, sweeping the wide sky. Omzian and Remiesian CAP aircraft are all on it, identified with IFF codes. But one group caught their eyes.

One operator, a young one, started to panic. "Unknown objects... Just've been picked up... A bunch of them... Some just've been picked up, some are just as big as balloons... What.. what should we do?"

The other operator, who was a veteran of the Royal Palm civil war a decade and a half earlier, answered with ease, although still worried. "Bombers," he said with confidence. Quickly, he called in the comm-box, "bomber-objects detected. Appears to have no jamming and other support. Some are suspected to be stealth, not efficently tracked. Please check with the Grendel unit."

Another operator, a woman, answered a few minutes later, tapping something in her console. "Positive, sir. Detected several unknown objects, some unable to be tracked. Might as well be some kind of B-2 or F-117s, I bet."

Simply, he could not just dump several of these multi-million SAMs to these stealth bombers, and just get a low success result. Thinking smartly, he commanded. "Hook up the Skymer's radar with Grendel, if possible."

The woman made a weird expression on her face. Despite being a blonde, young lady who everyone thought her as a know-nothing high-school student, she got it all inside --- although still not all. "Sir... We haven't even experimented this yet. Do you think this is possible? Even the Smoke Jaguars didn't say so. Besides, this radar is especially designed for the Skymer, not for the Grendel. Perhaps, we could try a datalink, also to the above F/A-22Cs armed with ALRAAMs?"

"I suppose so...," the veteran thought for a moment. Frezing a while, he tapped several other keps into his console. Later, he commented, "launch authorized."

Just a few minutes later, 4 MIM-168 Skymer surface-to-air missiles rose from the vertical tube. 4 columns of smoke emerged from these huge missiles, which should more be like a ballistic missile rather than SAMs. Although worth approx. $4.5 million USD each, nontherless, they headed for the 4 closest "stealth objects", hopefully to get them. 4 columns of white smoke formed 4 swirels and trails in the dawn sky, following their end to a place hwere no human eye can see. While a great sight to see, it also pounded the crews' heart. They know that the chance would only be a "reasonable", and some may as well get through. They await.

************************

They've awaited a furiously long 25 minutes for the damage report. Where are the stealth bombers going? They don't know. Sitting in their trailors, they suddenly heard several loud explosions. Gotta to be one of the biggest in their lives --- well, not their lives. Just as they heard the explosion, they got onto their radar screen.

The radar sweep showed several objects --- several, jumping to life. As their bombing bays opened, it gave a flashing isignal to both the Grendel and Skymer radar. Time to have the Grendel to do the job.

*************************

Engagement Center, Grendel Unit

Same sight, less people. 3 men sat on their leather chairs, staring at the radar. Someone from the Skymer unit has told them, that there are something like the stealth bombers, just before a huge series of explosions.

The men were still staring at their radar screen --- it turned live (well, almost). Because the TR-2s opened their bomb bay doors, they at least showed themselves more a bit. The bomb bays showed a bit on the radars, although not much. A great chance to engage, as the operators tapped several commands into their consoles.

One quickly said, "6 detected on radar. All radar-lock on these achieved, missile firing commerces within a few moments."

Suddenly, in the afternoon sky, 6 Symer missiles streaked across the sky, heading for the suspected TR-2 locations at Mach 6. Although the chance of hitting are now decent, not all are going to be hit obviously.

...shortly, but expected, another 4 missiles are fired --- trying to get at least, a few.

...they awaits.

Task Force two came to a halt off the northwestern coast of the country and started disgorging its cargo, the 15th Mechanized Infantry Division.

Tanks, APCs and all kinds of other vehicles were taken ashore by choppers and LCACs, deposited on solid ground and quickly forming up to move inland.

Meanwhile, the additional Air Force units the Remiesian government had pledged were touching down at various air bases around the country. The additional fighters, tankers, attack planes and AWACs birds would help hold the line against the invaders' reinforcements.

And the Remiesian fleet continued its course east, scanning the horizons for the AMF fleet - it's primary target.

Colonel Cline was not happy to hear that. Even all bundled up, he'd probably freeze his *** off out there. He turned over to Sapphire to see her reaction, but she was already dressed. "Figures," he thought. "She probably welcomes the storm." With that thought, Cline began pulling on his heavy coat.

The Lieutenant General looked outside. "Going to be a rainstorm, or so they say. Talk about the climate here, storm in the middle of the year. Aw well, we could provide with some clothings."

We are proposing more a different one: fast-flying bombers armed with Harpoon and Thunderbolt missiles, as known, especially the Thunderbolt is a deadly weapon, and have the range to be fired from a safe standoff rnage, so we are quite confident.

As the plane descended, Sapphire looked out the window. Behind her, Colonel Cline was definately looking a bit apprehensive about something. Not that she really cared, as long as he came through. They would be at the meeting soon, and she'd once again be dealing with a bunch of staff officers 2-3 times her age.
The plane hurled down onto the small Airport-like Air Force Base. Despite the climate, quite a few aircraft are out of the shelter, with some F/A-160 Wloverine fighters out of the tarmac.

Omzian Naval Forces, North of Honjaksgrad

Long after the Dreadnaught attack --- which the government still hasn't mentioned, more percautions were taking place. The destroyers were constantly loaded up with SM-2ERs and other air defence weaponeries, while the Hirgais swung their beautiful guns, but lacking any real air defence. Because of this lack of presence of air cover and defence, more of the Navy's new land-based F-14FL Tomcat IIs are activated just a while ago, for CAP. The commanders also thought of using the purchased F-13Bs --- but nah, no the custom of the navy to use their own weaponeries to attack them. Loaded with ALRAAM and AERAAM, and sometimes Cockatrice MRAAMs, they are a deadly sight. Even though with this, the ship crews still sit with doubt. Surely, they couldn't just patrol there for 24 hours a day.

OOC: Before I reply to the B-52Hs, what did the B-52Hs just drop? Cluster bombs? Mk.84/82s? Hmm...

Also, are the Exocets the classis French weaponery? :twisted:

As the dark hulls of the thundering AMF vessels smashed against the waves, the banners of crimson and black flapped violently through the wind. The fleets would be arriving soon, and the Sentinel's bloodlust grew. Walking on deck of the AMFS Invincible, Dreadfire (Yes, Dreadfire) opened a communications line with the rest of his men.

Boys, lock and load. We arrive soon, and on the land of Omz we will smite the heathens. Prepare yourselves, brave Sentinels of Automagfreek, for war has arrived! Prepare for blood and fire, prepare for death and carnage. Remember my valiant warriors, you do not know pain, you do not know fear. Remorse is not in your vocabulary, and surrender is foreign to you. The screams of your victims drives your anger, it fuels your rage.....and prepare to bathe yourselves in the warm blood of the slaughtered. You all will fight to the death for your Ruler, and for your Empire! Leave none alive!

Sweeping across the seas over the wind, the screams of tens of thousands of Sentinels carried itself over the blue waves, and across the cloudy skies. Their anger and rage growing with each passing second, they readied themselves, as did Dreadfire. Loading his SBP-90, he slung it across his back, and stood at the head of his ship as his colors were raised high, like the pirate days of old.

With the occupants lost in their own thoughts, the aircraft finally touched down. As soon as the door was opened, Sapphire and Colonel Cline got up and filed out, greeted briefly by the storm as they made their way to the waiting vehicles.

----------Task Force Unicron, somewhere between Clan Smoke Jaguar and Omz222----------
Rear Admiral Mifune, commander of Task Force Unicron, smiled as he read the priority message. The official declaration of war had been sent out only two minutes ago, but it was already time for Clan Smoke Jaguar to launch its first strike against the enemy. Even better than the knowledge that he was finally going to be able to use the new ships’ ability was the fact that they had been under cloud cover for some 20 hours, greatly limiting the information the enemy would have on his task force. The Admiral had the order passed on to the captains of the other two destroyers in the task force, and, as one, they removed the covers from the VLS units. First one missile went up into the air, then another, and another, and so on. The missiles themselves were quite impressive, able to reach beyond the earth’s atmosphere to strike at satellites and ICBMs. There were no ICBMs around today, but there were satellites, and these missiles were targeted at all known maritime recon satellites operated by Sniper Country and her allies, or at least those that could cover the vital transit route from Clan Smoke Jaguar to Omz222. Naturally, a few communications birds were also engaged, as well as civilian ones that might be taken over as ad-hoc replacements for the recon sats.
The Admiral had no illusions that this kind of strike would render the enemy impotent, but it would certainly generate a great deal of initial confusion, as well as seriously hamper enemy naval operations in the area. Of course, to keep this advantage, the task force would have to engage any additional satellites that came into view. They would remain on station until relieved by their sister, Task Force Megatron, after which they’d head back to port for refit.

----------SJNN Broadcast----------
After much deliberation, the Smoke Jaguar government has finally declared war on the rogue nation of Sniper Country and her allies, which have launched a massive unprovoked invasion of our long-standing ally, Omz222. With this declaration, massive fleets of aircraft and cargo ships are now departing for Omz222, bringing what is reported to be 5 full corps comprising some 20 combat divisions and 30 combat air wings. We now take you live to Tanya Clees at the Kanowit Air Base.
**Picture shifts to a young woman, with Stormcrow IFVs being loaded onto C-5s in the background.**
Thank you Dave.
Right now, a massive airlift is underway. Behind me are IFVs from the 2nd Brigade of the 82nd Mechanized Airborne Division, which is one of 10 such combat brigades being airlifted by some 1600 cargo planes. These will be accompanied by 2500 combat and 1300 support aircraft in one of the largest airlifts in history. All told, over 200,000 personnel are being deployed this way, and this is just the first trip.
*Camera pans to a pair of F/A-22Cs being loaded with Cockatrice AAMs.*
As you can see, all combat aircraft in this force will be fully loaded for air-to-air combat, allowing them to provide a substantial escort force for the massive transport fleet, and they’ll make sure that our boys get to Omz222 intact so they can give those invaders hell.
Back to you dave.
**Picture shifts back to anchorman.**
Thank you Tanya.
Well, this massive airlift will be matched by an equally massive sealift operation, with over 100 large cargo and troop ships going in with the first series of convoys, with what amounts to the largest foreign deployment in Clan Smoke Jaguar’s history.
This has been David Greer, for SJNN.

----------Nicholas Kerensky Class Carrier Yoshi Kobagawa----------
With the launch of the strike force only a few minutes off, munitions were being loaded, and flight checks were being performed on all of the 48 aircraft. The 36 F-35C and 12 A-12C aircraft aboard the carrier had been chosen to provide the combat debut for the new Shinma antishipping missile, which had been delivered by COD just a few hours earlier. Each of the A-12s would be carrying 4 of the "light" AGM-271A missiles, while the F-35s would each carry a pair of heavier AGM-271B units, for a total of 120 missiles that would be sent to the AMF fleet.
This would be a long-range mission, and with the enemy fleet nearly 1700 km away, it would be pushing the limit of their endurance. However, this was the only unit that would have any chance to launch a strike against the enemy fleet before their troops landed, and that alone made it vital that their presence be felt.

OOC: Exocets against Hiragis? You do know they were designed to withstand light antishipping missiles like those, right?
Of course, with that many you might get lucky and disable one or two ships :roll:

17-11-2003, 15:55

- Damn, the Black Widow flight leader said as enemy missiles (heat seekers!?) headed for his planes. At least the SAM batteries would open up soon...

And open up they did, blasting dozens of PAC-3 Patriots and HAWK missiles into the air, targeting every enemy aircraft available - double targeting some of them, too. The incoming enemy fighters also made the target list, drawing a cloud of SAMs as well.

(have fun with that :twisted:)

Two of the Black Widows were hit (I'm way outside your weapons envelope but I'll let you get two of them to be a sport) - one managed to nurse it back to base while the other punched out.

OOC: total SAMs launched = LOTS...for those planes that survive, there are Raptors and Falcons waiting for them.

Target: Autopmagfreek's Fleet

The Naval Base near the small city of Garbonhanturg (OOC: Yes, long name :P), or simply called Garbon City in Central Omz, is very busy. The Naval base is a few that also has a full-fledged naval air base nearby, for land-based naval aircraft.

A huge force of 12 A-12Cs and 10 EA-220A Tactical Strike Fighter-Bombers, plus 2 EF-35A Blazer radar jamming aircraft, prepared their forces. The A-12Cs, loaded with 4 air-launched AGM-84F Harpoons, and the EA-220As, loaded with the same load, would take off with a fuel tanks for a very long-range anti-ship mission. Each are also armed with 2 Cockatrice MRAAMs and 2 HARMs for self-protection, as these are light-enough. The EF-35A Blazers would provide jamming cover for the aircraft, and decrease the chance the ship's radars will detect them, while also armed with HARMs.

In this bright morning, they launched into the air one-by-one, then was not seen, as they went over-the-horizon. They would join the Remiesian and Smoke Jaguar aircraft to meet their goal: bring doom to Automagfreek's fleet. But the Omzian goal is more of the transports and logistic support units, rather than the carriers. They'll left that job to the Remeisians and Smoke Jaguars.

OOC: Remiesia, my idea was to take out the Ticonderoga cruisers before anything else happened. That would pretty much eliminate AMF's air defense. You should also be careful here. It's extremely unlikely that you would get within Harpoon range of the enemy fleet without them detecting you and reacting, which is why I thought I had time to make my own strike.

IC:
As the aircraft approached the fleet, they dropped to 60m, using a combination of stealth airframes and low-altitude flight to prevent detection. At 250km, the F-35s launched their missiles and turned back. The A-12s kept on for another 50km before firing off their load, and they too turned back for the carrier.
Free from the aircraft, the Shinma missiles streaked off towards the enemy fleet under their own inertial guidance. Once they got within range, they'd turn on the IIR sensors and home in on their targets - the 12 Ticonderoga cruisers providing air defense for the AMF fleet.

OOC: the chance of detecting the A-12s at that range is virtually nil, and the same goes for the F-35s. The missiles are stealth units at sea-skimming altitude, so they shouldn't be noticed until they've almost reached the fleet, giving little time to engage them. And with 10 per cruiser, I'd expect most, if not all, of the ships to go down.

Omzian Position near Honjaksgrad

The infantry, hearing the air warning, rushed to their position to prevent bombing, but it seems that the bombers still come. Although many will be down, nontherless, they did damage.

Many of the men expected big booms from the bombs, or even big fireblasts from napalm. But has they thought wrong. Some also has thought of cluster bombs, and are prepared it. But they are not prepared for a rain of explosives, divided into submunitions, one-by-one. because of the massive amount, the bombers also got a good coverage --- although of course, not percision.

Many infantry men, patrolling, were killed by the sharp explosions of the submunitions, elimating their lives almost instantly and deadly. Many light armored vehicles and support vehicles are also devastated, leaving non-working wreckage behind. Many, as a result of this, died in the 4th and 3th, and equipments lost. Many of them were forced to pull back to a nearby area, for repair of their forces, although some of the undamaged --- tanks, and other heavily armored ones -- will join the 7th temporatorily. Luckily, the 7th is in somewhere else, and is expected to be joined by others to prepare for an assualt.

This is the dawn of another tactic used by the . The commanders were furious, as they proposed to launch Operation Lightening almost immediately. But not yet, they have a better revenge --- one, almost the same to what the enemy did. Then, the full assualt.

OOC: I'm pertty sure that the submunitions from these won't do heavy damage to heavy armored vehicles, more like light/medium armored vehicles and infantry. But since I can't find any info on the Mk.15/etc. correct me if I'm wrong.

In the range, 6 F-13Fs were on the CAP mission, along with a E-2C Hawkeye --- just incase if some aircraft decided to sneak up. Suddenly, it ringed on their radar.

Onboard the AWACS, the operators readed their radar sweep infomation. Suddenly, something appeared. One operator jerked towards the screen, and said loudly, "aircraft detected... 12 in total. Identified as F-13 Bearcat and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. Predicted to be on interception or strike mission..."

Suddenly, more objects appeared, this time, missiles. "Missiles released, identified as SS-N-22 Sunburn...". Suddenly, these Sunburn-like missile disappeared, into the surface clutter.

"Order F-14F to engage enemy aircraft immediately."

*******************

Immediately, the modified LPI radars on the F-14Fs has seen it too. Enemy aircraft, dared to enter their airsace. The lead wingman, "Gamma I", ordered, "engage all 12 aircraft to our death!"

Quickly, he kicked his plane to Mach 2.4 with afterburner, chasing teh F-13B and F/A-18IEs. His primary target are the 13s, while the slower 18s will be dealed with the rest. Armed with 4 AERAAM LRAAM, 2 ALRAAM MRAAM, and 2 Scorpions, it raced through. Despite the fact that the aircraft are in excess of 180km away, the AERAAMs would at least get into range using its range of 238km.

Launch Authorized for AERAAM, "Betty" in the newly-installed voice box notified him. Quickly, despite that his targets are fighters, he fired a barrage of 2 AERAAMs at the lead F-13B at the target lock. Fox Three, he called.

3 of the rest followed suit, engaging their plane to Mach 2.2-2.4 to chase the planes. They fired another barrage of 6 AERAAMs, at the F-13s. The AERAAMs, flying at Mach 5.8 with radar guidance and AWACS data-link from the E-2C, headed for 4 different F-13s. 1 broke away back to the fleet, but the rest chased. They don't care how they are outnumbered, but they gotta take out the bandits. Revenge.

More air support immediately, Gamma V, one that's left around the fleet, called. "12 bandits just came to us."

*************************

ONCS Daring Night, Hiragi Class Battlecruiser #1

The battlecruiser, was not quite aware of the Exocets just fired at him. Not their job for air defence, it was the job of the BCVN and the fellow DDs. The missiles, because of their high-speed and sea-skimmer nature, unsuprisingly, got in.

Suddenly, the newly-installed Remiesian Vanguard CIWS, the CSJ PDM point defence missiles, and other medium/short-range defence came in --- but not long. The CIWS fired their Stinger-B missiles at the Exocets, and the PDM launched theirs, designed to engage seaskimmers. but it didn't work that well. They couldn't just depend on short-range defene to stop all ASMs. Only a few --- 1-2, someone said --- were actually engaged, as there's little time to deal with them. They finally have met their Firebolt and Thunderbolt counterpart --- the Exocets.

BOOM, a sound came in as the barrage of missiles stroke the ship. Other missiles striked others too. A few on deck, and a few on the side. Fire erupted on the decks of these Hiragi Class cruisers, sending the lives of many crews to the afterworld. The missile launchers onboard caught the fire, as the fire-fighting equipments onboard activated, attempting to put out the big fire. As these ships haven't had significant armor, the missile also did some internal damage to the ship, some structures --- including big ones --- were damaged.

ONCS Daring Night, ONCS Janue Hagras, ONCS Kersoke all damaged. Heavily damaged by air-launched anti-ship missiles, mostly having fast-speed and seaskimmering features. Damage on these ships heavy, will be sent back to dock immediately. Send more escorts immediately.

But at least, they are not the sea-launched ones with 1000lb-2000lb warheads, that the airplanes can't launch. They were lucky.

With the message above, the Admirals were furious. More ships knocked out of service. Even they didn't sink, the Admirals were furious to their extent. Time to strike the HARM carriers with our "joint force" as a lesson, ..., they thought.

*****************************

"A few commanders sat at their table. Another short meeting, I guess. All I know is that the enemies are sending some more artillery and air defence, these bastards. But they should be gone soon.

Finally, one opened his bold voice. It was the old Colonel Raven. 'As we all know, the enemies has now put heavy 200mm cannons and other artillery guns around Honjaksgrad, from intelligence from Air Force JSOARS . It seems that they also captured the Honjaksgrad International Airport, obviously. These bastards also put up some air defence. Scenario: what should we do? My men were discussing some sort of attack by the Kodachi [ballistic missile with 2000kg warhead], also some ground-launched Naginata [land-attack cruise missile], with some aircraft company, along with some EW aircraft such as Blazer Cs [Jamming aircraft], and Cicada cruise missiles [Naginatas with jammar instead of explosives]. Firecrackers [UAV for jamming radars] and Bottle Rockets [UAV for destroying radars] will also be deployed from the ground. About the artillery, we have something else in mind. ATACMS fired from MLRS and HIMARS, Shoot-and-Scoot. If they fire somethine at us, our firefinder radars will be sure to find them of course, and another shoot-and-scoot. Airport will be taken by ground forces, we still need them later. Repairing a bombed one takes just too damn long. Plan goes good?'

The meeting has started, the other men looked..."

The storm had worsened, and the fleets were forced to slow themselves. Tall, unforgiving waves and a darkened sky was all the men saw around them as the seas tossed and turned the craft, occasionally sending a man overboard.

Standing aboard the AMFS Invincible, Dreadfire scowled as his fleets slowed due to the raging weather. It had been days since they set out from port, and this delay would be costly. However, the storm gave them adequate cover, but being hundreds of miles away from pretty much anything, that cover was all but useless really.

------------------

Suddenly, riding out of the storm, ships change course from their south-western route and make a sharp north-western turn, heading at full steam in the direction of the mainland. Behind them, the strom carried on.

Ok, this is gonna be the best I can give, if I miss a attack to me, point it out please

Casualities (from storming the town)
12,596 men lost
26,503 wounded
19 M1-A2f's lost
4 Bethomoths lost
26 Hawk APC lost
1 HALO lost
14 Bulldozers lost
4 Dump Trucks lost

RP:

Land:

A total of 2.3 Million troops were ashore now, altho most weren't in the city, only about 300,000 were in the city. A crew of about 200 had errected a 100x100 sq ft. conceret block for helo's and VTOL jets to land on. About 30 SAM sites had been put up in the city, with 30 Patroits and 30 Telhar (ground to ground HE missiles). Breastwork had been made on the side where the attack was to come from (we would know cuz it'd be the way you retreated). Many soldiers in the bunker had N75-k TOW's (like a sholder heavy missile launcher). Others had Flamethrowers, they were all ready for anything the enemy could throw at them.

Air: At the airport that the coalition had caputured, 52 Z-4's, 38 Z-1c's, and 10 Z-5's were flown in and were flying CAP. Also, there hangers were being expanded to hold many more planes. Also, 6 UVC's had landed and there runways extended, so the coalition could fly any plane that can land on a 4000ft. runway, and it could get restocked and refueled, then fly out again. From one of those, a Z-2 flew out, carring one huge cluster bomb, it was to be dropped on any troops trying to attack the city.

Sea: Now the 1-10th fleet were here, spaced out and were protecting any convoys coming in. They were going to fight to the end, and would never give up.

OOC: Sorry to break this to you, but I see no capability for you to land 2.3 million troops immediately and assume they can fight. Perhaps you could explain?

This is a war with logistics and time RPed, not some where you can just call on 10 million troops. As much as I don't want to let this become an ignorefest, I see no reason to accept this claim.

But don't take this too hard, almost as if this is an insult.

If so, I couldl bring another 2.3 million reserve/militia troops perhaps to overrun yours. But the entire point of this RP would be lost, wouldn't it?

EDIT: As I'm being generous, and as I don't want to start an ignorefest, you could have 2.3 million forces on the beach somehow slowly (means not now), providing you RP logistics and supply chains, and transport what you actually can (no, the allied forces in D-Day spent a lot of time to transport their troops). Or frankly, your forces are going to starve to death without food. In the meanwhile however, the 2.3 million troops/300,000 troops in city part will be frozen --- that is, ignored temporatorily. As said, you could have 2.3 million forces on my forces --- provided that you RP defeating my defences, provided with you know what logistics is, and provided that you transport what you actually can. But right now, no. That's why you don't see Sniper Country even landing more than 100,000 forces.

Finally, please reply to previous engagements by Remiesia/me on page 1. Thanks. If you want to reply to this OOC part, reply it in the OOC thread.

IC:

The commanders, as they saw the surviving Barbarosean forces still dominate the city, plus the planes, were furious. But as always, they would go by their all enemy forces turned to corpses plan --- just not yet.

More Omzian aircraft --- F/A-22Cs, F-23Cs, F/A-160Bs, and even Navy F-14Fs --- would be sent Honjaksgrad, forming a heavy air barrier.

The night air was cold, and the storm still tossed around the nearly stopped convoy. One soldier was walking near the aft Phalanx gun, whistling to himself as he made his way towards the private quarters. Suddenly, the Phalanx gun went off sending thousands of rounds into the dark air, consequently deafening the man standing next to it. Phalanx guns went off on every battleship and carrier, targeting the incoming missiles that were now losing steam due to the extreme distance. The Spruance destroyers opened up with 20mm fire, sending showers of lead towards the incoming missiles. Several struck the lower decks, sending cold salt water into the belly of the ships. Closing the internal hatches, they fired on, downing many of the inbound missiles. SLQ-32 electronic countermeasure systems went into effect as well as RIM-7M Sea Sparrow missiles which were struggling to lock onto the enemy's missiles.

Although the ordeal lasted only seconds, the damage was done. 3 Spruance class destroyers were lost as well as 4 Ticonderoga missile frigates, and another Tigonderoga's structural integrity had failed, and barely remained afloat. A battleship was grazed by a few missiles and slightly damaged, although the compartments were now closed. A surfaced sub was the unfortunate recipient of an awry missile, sending it's crew down into the briney deep. A few transports were hit, and some sunk as well. Search and rescue efforts were fairly successful.

-------------

The targeted fleets changed course again, this time heading south, away from the enemy. However, the portion of the fleet that changed to a north-western course continued at full speed. The AMF ships that could continue on were to meet up with Barbarosea craft soon, and although the convoy was shaken, they were close enough to friendly craft for the time being.

Target: Automagfreek Fleet

At a range of 350KM from Automagfreek's damaged fleet, it was a very long flight. Infact, the fuel from both the tanks and cells' truly been used up, time for a refuel at the end. It is also almost the time to launch their AGM-84F Harpoons, boasting a range of 315km. Flying at a non-regular ship-attack mission profile, they flew at seaskimmering altitudes, hopefully to avoid any attacks. Despite this, plus the fact that the Harpoons are still inferior to the Shinma (slower, less powerful, uses radar for guidance) the Omzians will be getting soon, the pilots has not lost faith. Closing their radars, the A-12Cs and EA-220As should be fairly stealthy and radar transmission-free.

At their subsonic speeds, they finally reached the range --- 280km for the lead EA-220A, and 300-310km for the tail-chasing A-12Cs. Quickly, a barrage of their load of Harpoons -- 88. It is a heavy load, but still less compared from what the Soviets would fire on the American fleets. The planes scrambled, as these missile popped out one-by-one from the internal weapons bays, targeting the 3 carriers (30+ missile), and the remaining Ticonderogas. They then, raced back at subsonic speed.

Hopefully they won't be engaged.

Screaming off the decks of the Nimitz class carriers, a squad of F-14's and F/A-18E/F's took to the night sky, headed for their targets armed with AMRAAMs and Sidewinders. They flew a few hundred feet above the deck, breaking formation and begining their attack patterns.

The EA-220, with their IRST (IR sight) turned on, quickly spotted the enemy aircraft right after they launched their Harpoons. Frantically they turned on the radars, and locked onto the Automagfreek F-14s and F/A-18s with their radars and just 2 self-defence Cockatrice MRAAMs. Doing a sweep and climb pattern, they quickly fired off their Cockatrices for self-defence, and streaked down at sea skimmering altitudes. With that, it would be exceeding the limit of their radars. The A-12Cs on the other hand, strided on with their sea-skimmering altitudes, also not easily detected by radars due to their altitudes.

They continued on, activating their ECMs -- just incase.

The fighters went into evasive maneuvers, dropping chaff and flares behind them as they moved themselves into attack positions. Arming their ASPJ electronic countermeasures, they activated thier missile tubes and began their dogfight. A few F-14's were dropped initially, but the fighters continued undaunted.

With their missiles expended, the aircraft were heading back to the carrier. About 500km out, they met with 8 S-67 Kingfisher and 2 ES-67 Humpback aircraft, all equipped with buddy stores to provide the fuel the aircraft would need to make it back to the carriers. First to be topped off were the F-35Cs, which were in desparate need of replenishment. Then, the A-12Cs were given some extra fuel as well.
With that finished, all 58 aircraft headed back to the carrier, with everyone looking forward to a long rest. It would be at least a day before they flew any more missions.

OOC: Omz, ECM is only used once the aircraft is detected. It obscures the exact location of the aircraft, but with how it works, you might was well be screaming "here I am" when you have it turned on.

The remaining Ticonderga craft began firing Sea Sparrow missiles at the intruding planes as the Spurance class destroyers began throwing 20mm fire into the air, their tracers lighting up the night.

Pulling up and activating the radar is just a mistake done by the EA-220s.

Explosions were heard around the EA-220s and the fleeing A-12Cs, as they fired off chaff and flares, and the EA-220 activated their custom ECM jammer, to try and jam the search radars that controls the Sea Sparrows and CIWS. Despite this, 3 EA-220s and 2 A-12Cs were hit. The pilots also immediately died during the fight, as they are unable to eject before they fell. The rest fled low, trying to avoid the other aircraft. Despite this, many of them are not far.

But at least, 88 Harpoons was still headed for the Automagfreek fleet -- and the carnage should be ended soon.

OOC: I've been gone for four days, and I've been running 15 PT-B boats up (can carry 30 men a run), with like an hour of 150 of them (as the other fleets would have just arrived) and for about a day we've had Helo's landing in with them, and for 3 days Z-3's (can hold 54 men) running ppl in, so it's not that hard. The food issue, I have 10 cargo ships + more on the way stocked with food, and in every soldiers pack they have food for 3 months (sure it doesn't have a taste and it is sick, but they eat it). So I think it's feasible

IC:

Casualities (attacks on page 1):
The 55 tomahawk missiles were seen a ways away, and the AGIES destroyers took charge, about 37 were shot down just by them. The various ships around fired countermeasures but still 11 got through, sinking a Titan Class Aircraft carrier, and a AGIES destroyer, while lightly damaging 2 Visby class corvets and a Iowa Class Battleship.

The Bombers were picked up by the AAAS (A all out anti-air ship), and the Faam guns locked on 4 and blew them out of the sky, the other AA guns tried, but with no prevail, shot at the other 2, which they couldn't see. Those two fired there harpoons, some hitting ships. 1 Arsenal Ship was sunk, along with a sea shadow. All 4 Olvier Perry Frigs were hit, 1 sunk, the other 3 moderatly damaged. Also, the helicopter assault ship was hit, light damaged, but couldn't launch any helo's.

The Z-6's are heavy bombers that can withstand some fire.

The Z-6's were spotted. 2 were shot down imeadtly, and then the other 3 dropped there bombs, but after that, none flew back but 1.

The Naval force that Barbarosea had assmbled together (10 fleets) fired off what they could. All but one incoming missile were shot down, and that one got lucky and knocked a powerplant on a AMF transport (srry AMF, had to say that, i know it's bad rp but...)

On land, 30 more SAM's, patroits, and 15 more Telhar stations were under constuction, and the breastwork was imporved. Now, the 1000 soldiers specialy trained in Urban Warfare were going into the buildings, unaware of what was to happen next...

The Barbarosea Relife Fleet was coming (all cargo ships full with ammo, food, ect. guarded by All purpose frigits), and the Head fleet was coming to escort it. There was about 50 cargo ships in all.

Sapphire and Colonel Cline returned the salute. Cline, obviously more in his element with staff officers, also returned the greeting, offering his hand in the process. "Indeed, and it a pleasure Colonel."

He turned at another group of black sedans and Jeep escorts --- almost the same as the ones at the harbour. "War's starting as you all know, we need to move fast. Let's talk in the command center later. Right now, we need to go. Situation's seems to be bad."

With this, he directed his fellow officers, and walked towards the Sedans.

OOC: Still, I don't see how you carried 2.3 million troops over at sea, and landed them that easily. 2.3 million men can't just get ready to fight that easily, and there's isn't really any captured strips for landing yoru Z-3s until now. Without large amphibious assualt ships and sealift ships (in WWII the allied forces had a lot of them to land their force) and proper ports, I don't see how you can even prepare/feed/land 2.3 million troops without any support in months.

If you can resize it to say, 200,000-100,000, at least they will be able to fight, and I will at most accept it.

OOC: Discussion in OOC thread now. Until the discussion's over, I just don't see hwo you can land 2.3 million troops that easily. Unacceptable. Even if 2 NS months = RL day, in this condition when you haven't RPed the landing much, claiming that 2.3 million is on the shore now is just unacceptable, also considering the previous bombardments by Remiesia.

EDIT: Also remembered, aren't your actions like... Frozen, since you asked me to delay Operation Lightening. You couldn't just say "oh, delay the attack on me" and then quickly assuming that your troops will automctically hand. I rememebred that I was assuming you froze your timeline, so some problems here. My commanders wouldn't just let you land that many troops and have a "Delay notice" for Operation Lightening. I also remembered that with your leave and request to freeze Operation Lightening, aren't you like frozen in time until you RPed this again? Not to insult you or point fingers at you, but hmm...

Off a AGIES destroyer, 2 Night Stalker Helos launched, quietly, they just looked like recon helos. They had only one pilot each, but that was plenty...

Indeed, this strike is devastating, more like a nuclear bomb, as smoke rose from the attack location -- not far from a place a Combat Engineering Company stayed, killing hundreds -- or even, thousands -- of infantry gathered at the point. Immediately though, the infantry at another gathering point saw it, as the Vespas caught the 2 F-13Bs on the radar, and launched a barrage of 8 Vespa SAMs at them, fiercely.

Another large loss. Soon, more will silently be prepared, for a retailation attack.

===================

"Get me this Honjaksgrad International Airport bombed into a crater! I don't care this is a civilian airport, as long as they put military aircraft on it, unacceptable," an senior Lt. General slammed his desk in a bunker near Vansara City, as he heard the news about the massive attack on the Omzian infantry, completely unacceptable.

Another turned at this dark meeting, "should we start the bombing on the airbase? It could also help us take out a few SAMs, if possible. We have quite a few Firecracker UAVs, Blazers, Avenger IIs, and Strike Eagles. Jam and destroy the radars, and we are all set. Maybe also a launch of a few Kodachis on the airbase. Turn those airstrip and shelters into craters. Essentially on a civilian airbase."

The Lt. Gen. was satisfied. "Commerce."

==========================

Nearby in an Air Force base not far from Vansara City, 4 A-12C Avenger II bombers -- loaded up with 8 Mk.84 JDAMs each, with 2 HARMs and Cockatrices for self-protection -- plus 4 F-15E Strike Eagles with 4 of the 2000lb JDAMs, took off from the night airbase. Along with 3 EF-35A Blazers with 6 HARMs and a tactical jammer, they would be bombing the airport with the biggest force available --- in replacement of the B-1B bomber (OOC: quite similar to what the US forces did to a suspected Iraqi administration meeting location in Baghdad). With this, they flew low at subsonic speed in the night, careful to aviod any enemy SAMs. The EF-35As will be giving cover for them.

They has still not arrived, but soon, they would be arriving at hostile territory, and SAM coverage areas.

******

3 Kodachi TELs drove across the Omzian "Super-One" national highway, to the point where they are about 400km away from the Honjaksgrad International Airport -- or, about 408km away from Honjaksgrad. One by one, they launched 3 Kodachi tactical ballistic missiles at a place not near from the aircraft shelters and runways of the massive airport. The 2000kg explosive warhead will provide a deadly force against the concrete runways.

After the 3 missiles streaked across the sky over the horizon. With their GPS-aided inertial navigation, they would provide a decent accuracy. Because Omzian nation is known for almost chemical/biological-weapons-free, they doubted that the enemies think these are filled with gas. At least, the Omzians would not have gas over their own land, and people. It just doesn't make sense.

As the Kodachi TELs reloaded within half an hour, another launch has commerced: at the same location.

******

Not far away from the Kodachi TELs, a troop concetration unit gathered around their Firecracker and Bottle Rocket launch unit. A launch command has just given.

Suddenly, with a large click sound, 2 CQM-217 Firecracker UAV, designed for jamming enemy radars, took off and launched into the distance, as with 4 CGM-218 Bottle Rocket UAVs, for destroying enemy radars. These slow-moving UAVs would escort the bombing force in time, just incase that the enemy SAMs would detect them.

=====================

"I can imagine so, and it would be nice to know what's been going on. Just another reason to get this meeting started ASAP."
With that, they walked over to the cars, ready to head out to the meeting.
The young Colonel smiled. "Of course, we will also have a debriefing there at the meeting. "Both forces are seems to take heavy losses. The situation's esculating."

Just as he finished speaking, he stepped into his sedan, and instructed the other people to put the Smoke Jaguars into another sedan -- quite similar to the ones they rode in back in the harbour.

From the Stingray, Adrimal Crp. Daniel Lithenwiller was leaving on a PT-B boat for shore. He used a inflatible raft to get there, and then was escorted by 9 men to a Z-8 (We landed 4 of them, there VTOL), he then got in, as the 9 Jagg's got in a Helo to follow the Z-8. It geared up, and took off, headed to SYNOP. The helo was close behind.

At the Sniper Country Mainstay (Fleet), sixteen LAMB Heavy Recon Boats, fourteen RAID Destroyers, three WAKE Small Aircraft Carriers, six BASS Missile Frigates, four Trident VI SSGs, and six Seawolf IV SSNs were called up for immediate deployment. They were ordered to haul tail in the direction of the enemy CSJ fleet, to engage priority, but if Omz222 got in the way, to engage at will. They were going on a supposed suicide mission, and they were told so up front. This mattered not to the Marines, who knew they were in this for the long haul. This was simply a diversionary tactic to aide Automagfreek ships to gain a little ground. The small fleet was sent on their way, in order to aide the Freeks in any way possible.

[BASS MFs are stealth trimaran design.]
OOC: This is the Yoshi Kobagawa battle group (the one that attacked AMF) they're heading to, right? Remember, it's probably about 2000 km out.

IC:
Sapphire and Colonel Cline got into the sedan without a word. Both were anxious to get this meeting started with, and finished, as soon as possible.

As the 3 missiles streaked towards the frontlines, Barbarosea forces were trying to figure out what to do. In a critical time, one troop with a N-62 (like a M60, only modern) blasted away at them. That cost 3000 troops there lives, and still one was going, hit. It was slightly off target, but still killed the benginning of the runway. Now, only light cargo and STOL fighters would be able to takeoff.

SC, you do the bomb run, we have 8 SAM's lining the runway and 20 Singer Troops there, + 2 Patroits.

On the drive, another one officer escorted the 2 Smoke Jaguars, although not talking much. Being one of the lower ranks as a mere Major, he still commented in a heavy Northern Omz accented Englist. "I'm telling ya, this situation's getting big. We have officers everwhere, no suprises." With that, he nodded, and added, "you are the Smoke Jaguars I persume?"

With a small salute to the Smoke Jaguars backseat, he returned, lying on the right of the driver, who was concentrating on a group of Humvees. "Thanks for all the help for us."

Omzian officers are creeping everywhere.

Though she was very uncomfortable with all these officers everywhere. Sapphire was the one who spoke up this time. "Oh, it's no problem. You are our nation's closest ally after all. We just hope our assistance will be enough. As I understand, things are already getting rather heavy, and it's probably going to get worse."

The Major still recalled the military purchases from Clan Smoke Jaguar, and some businesses with the export of their new F-14F. Wonder how this can get them a good ally. He then replied back, "it is very warming to have another close ally after all these years. As I heard, the current battlefield is at the city of Honejazgrande, or 'Honjakzgrad', as you all call it. Our forces maybe already preparing for a counterattack, should be happening soon."

As they drove through a dirt road into the highway, they would be arriving at the bunker location not so far from an army base --- soon.

Yeah, I didn't think in the ghetto, but...

OOC: The ghetto is after all quite close to the modern Honjaksgrad downtown.

"Well, hopefully the counterattack will go well, but I'd be surprised if they weren't preparing for one." Sapphire was almost certain that it would fail. The enemy couldn't be thwarted that easily.

264th Fighter Squadron (Renegades) 1500km out.
Captain Richard Osis, the pilot of aircraft "Renegade 3" yawned. He'd been escorting the large aerial transport armada for hours now, and there were still 2 1/2 hours to go before they reached their destination. The 264th was in one of the 24 squadrons that had been designated as primary escorts. All of the other combat aircraft were being flown by old Milita pilots, a fact that had been suppressed for obvious reasons. This meant that, while only about 1/5 of the squadrons flying would be much good in combat, 4/5 of them would be ready to fly combat missions as soon as they landed. Then Richard could count on a good rest while the others got to do the work.

"Of course, we are wishing for that too. But in the meanwhile, us Air Force people also have our own jobs."

As the sedans drove, the young Major looked outside. "Well, should be there soon."

Sapphire resisted the urge to respond to that. Instead, she looked out the window and watched in silence as the sedan sped on to its destination. As for Colonel Cline, he was in his notes again.

The A-12Cs, F-15Es, and EF-35A Blazers have finally arived near Honjaksgrad, a new land of the enemies. Quickly, the enormous A-12Cs and F-15Es dropped to nearly 100 feet -- where aircraft and ground radar waves can't "feel". The EF-35As, however, flew high. By using their stealth and radar jammer, they should be well survivable. They also met up with the Firecracker and Bottle Rocket UAVs --- not far. Despite that the Kodachis are already launched, they are going to 'bomb the heck out of it anyways'.

The EF-35A is the lead of the force, along with the Bottle Rockets and Firecrackers. A-12Cs provide secondary defence. Activating the jammers on their aircraft to jam radar signals, they targeted the radar waves' locations. Since their jammers are relatively modern, the aging Patriots' radar should be jammed a little. Quickly, they fired in excess of 12 HARMs at 6 different Patriots and other SAMs of Sniper Country and the other forces. The A-12Cs, despite carrying HARMs, didn't fire them -- since they can't target the radar waves -- not yet. The Bottle Rockets with their special 20kg HEs, dived down onto the nearest enemy radars -- much like the AGM-136 Tacit Rainbow.

Hurling down onto the airport at rooftop heights -- they released their ordinace on the parked enemy aircraft, control towers, and most importantly -- runways. In total, 38 JDAMs were dropped quickly -- a total of 76,000lbs of ordinace. Following the locations assigned by their sixteen-digits GPS codes, they arrived at their targets quickly.

The A-12Cs and F-15Es immediately kicked their engines, still flying at rooftop heights, and left off -- at a safe airport in Central Omz. Hopefully, the EF-35E and UAV covers can pull it off. A speciality in percision and bombing in hostile SAM covers. The EF-35s, seeing they finished their job, contuned on.

(OOC: By "rooftop" I don't mean that they are flying as low as a 2 story building --- just an expression for their "lowness".)

********************

The sedans, carrying the Smoke Jaguars, finally arrived at a place near the bunkers -- not beside, near. All the officers could see is mountains and rough grassfields and cold deserts, with an army base and a few rocks behind.

"We have arrived," the Major smiled as he opened the door for Sapphire and the Smoke Jaguars.

20-11-2003, 01:41

The two copters were to fly right over the buildup and drop "food packedges". They were on there way, the "Food" ready.

About 40% of the city was clear, but Barbarosea had lost another 91 men to the trials of urban warfare. It was clear that many building were uninhabbited, but the ones that were were heavly encamped. (Wink, wink; nudge, nudge Omz222)

On the coast, the 100x100 ft. "slab" had been lenghtened to 170x100 ft., and was planned to make it to a full 4500 ft. Another 50,000 troops had come, keeping the number of troops on land at about 600,000, since many had been killed. 2000 went towads the city, helping out with the urban warfare. The others were going to help secure the beach.

Also, a total of 12 Z-8's were now on land.

Clan Smoke Jaguar

20-11-2003, 01:47

After the major opened the door, Sapphire and Colonel Cline filed out of the car. As the two looked around and took in their surroundings, the colonel seemed rather confused. Sappire on the other hand, gave a slight smile. "Not bad."

Scroll down to the "Advanced Systems".

Also, are you firing at my "Attackers", or simply "jammers"? So that I could effectivelly determine my losses.

IC:

The A-12Cs and F-15Es continued their flight. A "get the hella out of here" style it is. Through the morning air and the sights of the villagers, it is not an usual sight of flight. They have thought flight is where they would see the clouds. An "ah well" they thought, at least they finished the mission.

===================

Mission Success.

Major Tranuva Kursuk smiled, as he read about the live briefing report about the bombing mission on the Honjaksgrad International Airport. He still care about the SAM attack mission, but not that much -- as he is carried away sometimes -- a rare sight for Omzian officers.

He turned, as he just simply said to the fellow air force airmen --- "mission completed."

OOC: 2 firecrackers. Only 2.

Also, where's the E-3 at?

IC:

The Firecracker UAVs continued their "jamming trek", while the EF-35s kicked their afterburners and got out at a speed of Mach 1.6, still with jammers on alert. But after the missiles were locked on the UAVs, both are immediately lost. Still, the UAVs are cost effective, and at least saved the Omzians a lot of money.

******************

The Colonel went and met Sapphire and Colonel Cline again. He smiled, and said confidently, "well, we have almost arrived. You two, along with me, will board the Humvee right there," he pointed a group of Humvees with infantry escort, and continued. "Then we will get to the Engagement Center's meeting place."

Then, he stepped toward the group of Humvees, and getting to one's front seat. "Should be arriving soon," he told the driver of the "close-hooded" Humvee.

As the Humvee accelerated, Colonel Cline braced himself and suppressed a frown. He hated these things, and the rough road did nothing to make it more comfortable. Sapphire on the other hand, seemed to enjoy the ride . . .

The Humvees, after a short and bumpy ride, finally arrived at a small group of complexes. In the mountains, the snow mountains are a beautiful sight, with the white-painted buildings.

The Colonel stepped down, and simply said, "we are here." Shortly, he walked towards a small white building.

"One step towards the engagement center meetings," he commented swiftly.

Cline stepped out of the vehicle, his face a little pale. Sapphire on the other hand, looked rather refreshed after the ride. Both took in the small white building without a word, and folowed the Omzian Colonel.

On a keypad on the front door of the small builging, the Colonel pushed his pinky finger onto a small pad, and entered a few codes. A metal door was then opened, not so thick, not so heavy.

Then, another heavy metal blast door with sandbags surrounded can be seen. "Well, here it is. Another one of these bunkers. Not the best, but certainly good for a meeting. Anyways, the other officers will meet you there."

As he said that, he once again pressed his pinky finger against a pad, and entered a few keys. This time, a metal blast door was unlocked, disclosing a small passage. Seems well protected, with sand bags, metal and wooden frames, and some concrete acting as support. Under the dim light and dry air, the Colonel continued without a word. "They'll know it is me," was all he said.

Again, the two followed their Omzian counterpart without a word, stopping only to make sure their uniforms were neat and they looked as presentable as possible.
After a long walk down, finally, they arrived at another metal door. This time, the Colonel pressed a button. The one on a communications box this time.

A young female's voice blurted out of the box, in perfect English. "Colonel Ukarans, I persume?".

Colonel Ukarans on the other land, in low Omzian. "Urans."

Suddenly, the metal blast door opened, as it swung towards Colonel Ukarans' way. Slowly walking in, he saluted his Omzian comrades at an oak table, and turned to Sapphire and Colonel Cline. The woman, a child of the English settlers in Omz222, answered in perfect English, while saluting her Smoke Jaguar counterparts with a gentle smile. "Welcome to the meeting. I'm First Lieutenant Linda Francis of the Omzian Army, on my right are Colonel Honjaz Kursuk, and Major General Han Gronard. Both are from the Air Force. I suppose we can get this started?"

Then, the woman sitted on a leather chair on the right side of the table, so are the officers beside her. Colonel Ukarans turned to the Smke Jaguar "guests".

"Well, we need to get the meeting started immediately. Feel free to sit on the left side of the table."

With that, he turned to his Omzian counterpart. He spoke in Omzian, "I persume we got this working? Good."

After a brief introduction by Colonel Cline, the two sat down. It was Sapphire who got things rolling. "As I'm sure you're already aware, the Free Land of Clan Smoke Jaguar has decided to provide full military assistance to Omz222 in repelling this invasion. I'm sure our troops are already underway, but that's hardly a reason for this meeting. We're here to discuss some information and possible plans of action that you don't know about."

Major General Han Gronard is the first to speak -- as usual, since he is the highest here in the meeting. Speaking in an accented English, he spoke it clearly,

"Of course, we are very aware of Clan Smoke Jaguar's aid for us, and that's unforgotten. We are sure that the battle plan will go well anyways," he chuckled. And then he continued, "if you have some issues and topics here, please present them out. Our issues might be the same, after all."

"Very well, I will start with my end. There are a few things that were never officially released. The first of these was a vote amount our council regarding upgrading our trade status with you. The vote is incomplete, but the majority is already in favor, and any delays are a formality only. In the next two weeks, it will be officially declared that Omz222 is the first nation to receive Most Favored Nation status with Clan Smoke Jaguar. In addition to discounts on any further purchases, this means that we will provide information and technology that we normally keep to ourselves, such as a range of artillery and tank munitions that we've developed, but do not export."
The Major General, who was happy the instant he heard about this, quickly answered back.

"Understood. I can fully understand the action to put us on the 'Most Favored Nation' list of CSJMI. This will not only bring new possibilities, but also to provide new jobs for Omzian military factories. But as well, this should be useful for us in the long run, especially during the war and post-war military increase we are planning, but still not violating a number of treaties we've signed."

Then, he thought about it, and continued. "Will there be, by any chance, joint military projects to be held between Omzian Democratic Republic and Clan Smoke Jaguar in the future? This should also benefit us in the long-run, as we are desperate right now. Finally by any ways, starting with the MFN status for us with Clan Smoke Jaguar, will there be any chance of exporting us the AMRBM project's product, the Blackjack MRBM we persume? It is not like we are interested to acquire nuclear weapons from Clan Smoke Jaguar, as we are peaceful nation with anti-WMD policies, but we would just like to have a few things clarified. "

"Joint projects are a distinct possibility, and would probably be welcomed by us as well. We might consider providing the Blackjack as too. However, a Blackjack deal might be shot down by the council, but I wouldn't expect that. I wouldn't go into too much details with this though, as my own knowledge regarding the relevant politics is not too great. Still, you can think about what it is you want. I have a feeling that when this is over, our nations will be quite a bit closer."

"On a more short-term note, we do have some proposals regarding military operations, which is the real reason why the two of us are here."

"Seems very good, our Air Force is rumored to have the desire to acquire several non-warheaded Blackjacks for... special puproses anyways. As long as we know the council's confident, it shouldn't be too hard."

The Major General continued.

"Oh yes, military operations. Please present them out, our focus here is on those anyways."

Omni Conglomerates

21-11-2003, 03:05

General Burg's office in SYNOP

Burg, reviewing troop movements over the northern area of Honjaksgrad that the forces of the Omni Conglomerates were now defending, looked over to one of his officers.

"When will my 4th Special Ops Regiment be in the city?" the general said in an exasperated tone. He had wanted those men unloaded in the first wave, but to a mix up they had been place towards the end of the unload list.

"They aren't due in for another two days sir," said the officer hoping the general was in a good mood.

"Damn, we need those men for the defense. While we are waiting, send word to the 5th Infantry to start on those roadblocks on the main roads of the city. Tell them just to use the building rubble and to get some help from the Sniper Country engineers. I hear there are some that are done setting up the anti-air defenses in that area," Burg said with a sigh,"Now what are we going to due about slowing the enemies troop movements when we they get into the city?"

"Well sir, we have a number of our special forces units in the city and we have some members of the 5th Infantry's Combat Engineering Detachment. Those men are excellent at laying traps to slow ememy forces down," said the officer.

"Okay get one of them in here on the double," Burg said with some relief. At least we are fighting in urban terrain; here we have a very good chance of holding our ground, thought Burg to himself.

Five Minutes Later

"Ok, son, now what can you do in this terrain?" said Burg to the a Corporal from the 5th Combat Engineers.

The man replied,"Well sir, our men can cook up a variety of surprises for the enemy. We have can set up some 'Venus Flytraps', which are flexible metal metal spikes designed to catch a mans leg and keep it there. Unless the man wants to cut his own leg off that is. Descending Spike Rolls are harder to set up in urban areas but they can be done. We can rig up some nice ones using sharpened rebar. We have roughly 6,000 M14 Anti-Personnel mines, but we can easily get more. We have some Earth Mover mines at our disposal as well to chunk large pieces of debris at enemy soldiers as well."

"Good, good, but what can you do for other defenses? Positioned ambushes and the like?" said Burg now pleased with what his men could bring to the defense.

"Sir, we have a derilict ship out in the harbor. It is a damaged SC ship I believe. I have checked with them and I think we can scuttle it and take some of its weapons and equipment for use. We also have a few downed choppers that have salvagable weaponry. I remember using an old GEC minigun back in the Stock Riots. We positioned in a shelled building and obscured it from view, then we let loose when a group of those armed punks came by. I think Isaw some in the choppers and I sure we can get some more in on the next boatload of troops and equipement that comes in. As for that damaged ship we can take a few sections of the hull and use the plating to reinforce some positions or some of those concrete blockades you are starting in the major roadways. I believe the ship is has a pair of 6in naval guns we could take out and situate in the city. It would be difficult and would take time, but it is possible," said the engineer smiling as he spoke.

"Excellent, now son, I want you to go and get your men to work. We haven't got much time and I want this place to be a deathtrap for and Omzian or Remiesian soldier that is suicidal enough to come against our troops. Now get going, son," the general said dismissing the Corporal.

"Yes, sir," the man said as he saluted the general and went to reinforce the Omni Conglomerates defenses.

---------------------------

A small camp on the northern edge of Honjaksgrad

Five men sat in a shelled out Starbucks in an old city mall. All were members of the elite 2nd Special Operations Regiment out of the Omni Conglmerates except for a single member of Sniper Country's deadly 22nd SOF-D. Sergeant Howie McKnight was on load to the unit to perform operations that the Omni Conglomerates troops could not, such as fighting on any terrain other than urban.

"Tom, how long till you find us some food from that kitchen, huh?" the leader of the small unit, Lt. Dan Smith said to the newest member of the crack team, Sergeant First Class Tom Riggs.

"Not yet. You shouldn't have chosen a Starbucks to camp at sir. There isn't much here unless you want more cappachino," the young operator said after searching for food for an hour.

"Damn, I guess we have to actually use the crappy MRE's then," The Lt. hated eating the things. Especially because he always got the weird combinations like banana-beef.

"Hey do any of you guys have a can opener? I seemed to have misplaced my pocket knife," the SC Sergeant said as he came over to the nice trash can fire.

"Yeah sure. Actually, I think this is yours," said Corporal Charlie Hicks, who had a knack for pickpocketing.

"Dick," said McKnight taking back his pocket knife.

The men then heard the sound of footsteps and went silent. As a man rounded the corner they prepared to shoot, but stayed their shots as the saw the man wore an Omni Conglomerates uniform that identified him as a member of the 5th Infantry.

"Holy crap man! Don't shoot!" shouted the soldier.

"Shut the hell up or we will shoot you! Damn man don't you know not to walk up on a bunch of operators sitting in a Starbucks this early in the morning!? Oh, you're part of the 5th Infantry. That explains it," said 1st Sergeant Gary Lucas lowering his SPAS-12.

"Damn man, I was just sent to tell you guys that you now are being assigned an engineer. All of the special operations teams are getting one assigned to them so they can begin laying traps and reinforcing the current defenses," said the soldier still startled by the unexpected welcome he recieved.

"What?! We have to do what? Of all the crap freaking duties to....Damn! Who the hell is the engineer anyway?" said Lucas.

"Me. I am Specialist Dan Morris. Are you guys ready to move out?" said the engineer.

"Hell no, but we have to anyway. You just make sure you don't piss us off, or we will give you all of Riggs' duties," said the Lt.

The small unit moved out and left their cappachinos where they lay. They then set to work laying "surprises for the enemy troops that were on their way. The rest of the OC military scrambled to do the same. Not knowing when the enemy forces would arrive, all of the members of the OC forces made sure to put as many mines, man-traps, and other devices to slow any enemy advance in as quickly as was possible. Urban combat was the specialty of the troops in the Omni Conglomerates. They wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Seems very good, our Air Force is rumored to have the desire to acquire several non-warheaded Blackjacks for... special puproses anyways. As long as we know the council's confident, it shouldn't be too hard."

The Major General continued.

"Oh yes, military operations. Please present them out, our focus here is on those anyways."
"Well, for the most important thing there, I'll turn this to Colonel Cline."
The attentioin shifted to Cline as he cleared his throat to speak. "I am currently an aide to one General Carlina Howell, who currently commands a landing force of over 150,000 troops that were mobilized for the Red Beach excercises. This landing fleet is already en route and should arrive within 10 to 12 days. Now, we could just steam into port and unload the troops normally, as just about everyone would expect, but the General and I have devised a little more ambitious and unconventional plan."

Colonel Honjaz Kursuk suddenly focused his attention. Being one representing the Marines and Navy here, of course he would be expected to answer in full. Speaking in almost perfect English -- except maybe a few grammar errors.

"Very well. We persume this force of 150,000 will be landing near Honjazgrad? If so, would it be a possibility that we can combine forces with our own Army forces? We are sure with a combined plan, this can succeed if the subject is Honjazgrad. Also, if applicatable, could you tell us a little bit about this strategy you and the General has sketched up?"

"You are correct, this does involve a landing to take Honjazgrad. More specifically, we propose a massive assault landing exactly where the SC Coalition forces hit, with the primary target being Honjazgrad. However, in order to do this, we have to do two things. The first is to make sure the enemy fleet doesn't interfere. This will probably involve a large combined strike to drive them off, and we do have some ideas on pulling that off. In addition, this requires that the defense of Honjazgrad be somewhat limited, and we don't recommend launching the operation until after the enemy has pushed out from the city, which should have happened by the time our forces arrive. Finally, there should be a ground offensive to back up the landing, so we can give them two fronts to worry about."
"The operation will be difficult to pull off, but if we succeed in taking Honjazgrad, than we'll have completely severed the enemy supply line, and that could crush the invasion in one stroke. Even if we don't take the city, we can provide a serious threat to the enemy's flank that can't be ignored. Most importantly, we can supply this force as long as we have control of the sea, due to the proximity of friendly ports."
"Very good, reasonable. Would it be possible that we can launch this campign at the same time? That is, our Army will advance from the northwest and north of Honjaksgrad, while oyur Marine forces lands at the same moment. Of course, it would also be a possibility if Close Air Support is provided by us, and your Army.

In the meanwhile, we do see a few naval fleets are the biggest threat: the Sniper Country and Barbarosea fleet. The J-MOB is also a threat, as always. Because we've already bombed the Honjaksgrad International Airport, limiting their ability to launch air power, the target this time will be primarily the HARM carriers. However, we also need to not be carried away, and a large air patrol is recommended in this situation.

Lastly, when do you and the General feel this should commerce, so we could attempt to launch off our Lightening II campign against Honjaksgrad?"

"The strikes not only could be coordinated rather well, but should. It might be a good idea to have one hit slightly before the other to draw enemy forces away though. We could launch the amphibious landing in 10 days. However, if we were to wait 14-16, we would be able to muster a much larger fleet to participate in striking against the enemy fleet. It would also give us time to deliver our heavier ground forces and organize them for a major strike. An extra 12 reinforced divisions would certainly help with the ground assault. That will also give us some exceptional mobile strike units, with 5 airborne divisions, 2 light cavalry regiments, and 1 light infantry division available to jump in."

"For our ground forces, it will probably take the full 2 weeks to get them delivered, prepared, and in position for a strike. Once we have that, we can begin the landing. However, we should launch the naval offensive at least a day or two earlier to give us time to completely remove the enemy fleets' threat from the operating zone."

"For air operations, we can move a bit more quickly. I believe our units are already en-route, and only one fifth of the combat aircraft are being flown by regular pilots. The rest are being flown by militia personnel so that we will have a large base of rested pilots when we land, allowing for large-scale air operations as soon as we're situated. So, in a few hours, we should be able to provide some additional air cover for your forces."

"Very good, I'll inform the Army guys, they should know what to do. A counterattack is ready anyways, since we've dig in positions. Our plan for the joint naval and ground is to have an operation similar to the proposed Lightening. A massive front of forces will attempt to crush in the naval forces threatening the area, send in army forces to get rid of key resistance in the city, and then the Marine forces should have the job done with the Army. But there's always one advantage: urban combat. The enemies could always set up traps for us. On buildings, in the ponds, on the streets, or even on the sewers -- as we've learned in the Fyreheartian Civil War with the Ferrussians and other allies. What do you think about the threat of pockets of enemy resistance? Of course, it seems that especially the Onmi Conglomates are very good in urban combat. Omzian Army, being primarily a extreme conditions-fighting army, isn't professional at the urban stage although we fought in it and gained experience in it. Should some Urban Combat Divisions put in? Or some special forces or infantry?

Our plan for an air operation is that we must remove the threats of enemy forces airborne warning systems, then onto the air superiority over Honjaksgrad. To do this though, we need to remove platforms for these aircraft. Since the Honjaksgrad International Airport is already bombed into a state of 'utter destruction', the real threat for us is the carriers, as said. After that is done, we will strike remaining enemy air defence systems, move in air units, and begin a large close air support and strike campign with the ground stage. Hopefully this plan will be given a go.

But as always, we need to alert the enemy, so that they are of course, in a state of shock. Our forces are resisting their strikes, hopefully they'll have our remaining forces unnoticed, or at least not to be put on the top list.

IC:

The Honjaksgrad Docks

"Thats the last of this group," said the quartermaster. The last group of this weeks landings from the Omni Conglomerates made their way off of the docks and towards their new stations. This past few weeks of troop landings had put an increased amount of stress on the engineers required to maintain and keep orderly control of the captured docks in Honjaksgrad. Over the past few weeks the 3rd, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 18th Infantry Divisions and the 4th and 6th Special Operations Regiments had landed in Honjaksgrad in conjuction with the 4th Mechanized Infantry and the 5th and 6th Armored Divisions. This put Omni Conglomerates numbers from 22,500 to 76,500. The men fresh off of their boats were immediately sent to work shoring up the Omni Conglomerates defenses in the northern portion of Honjaksgrad. More would arrive in the coming weeks, but for now this was what the Omni Conglomerates had to work with before the eminent counter-attack.

-----------------------

TOP SECRET TROOP MOVEMENTS WITHIN HONJAKSGRAD

Omni Conglomerates soldiers set up ambush points within key city junctions and streets. Soldiers set up kill zones placing GEC miniguns inside of buildings and in burned out hotdog carts. Additional troops take up positions around the kill zones to provide additional cover and rain death upon any soldier that steps into the zone. Descending rolling column traps are placed in narrow streetways and in collonades with rebar spikes to add additional casulty to any group that moves through.
Anti-personel mines are further requisitioned and brought into the city to be laid in parks and in small streets. Engineers set up massive walls of concrete, steel, and anything else they could find to block the passage of enemy vehicles. Parts of the sewer supports under the roads are also weakened so that anything much heavier that a humvee would cause the roadway to collapse. Omni Conglomerates special forces also begin mapping out and patrolling the sewers in order to use the entire city terrain to their advantage.

The 5th fleet has begun moving back, but has stopped about 30 miles away from the buildup.

The army now had 80% of the city cleared. They were doing well, with only 102 more men lost. The airpad has been made 1000x150 now, but is still not long enough to land planes on. Also, the Z-4's were now being helped by a J-2 (Radar plane).

About 710,000 Barbarosea men now were onshore, and now the total around the city is 320,000. The rest are around the beach and other places.

I'd suppose a max. of 200,000-300,000 is OK here, with proper supplying. Not to be so limited.

IC:

More Omzian forces are preparing to move on. As part of the counterattack proposed earlier, 3 Armored Divisions and Mechanized Infantry divisions are rumored to be mobilizing. Soldiers are finally preparing to fight -- or, defend their motherland.

It would be a while to drag a total of about 96,000 soldiers, but it is certainly possible if everyone coopreates the plan goes well. The soldiers are still suspecting -- will they live? Will the plan go well? They heard that Honjaksgrad is heavily defended, so this will not be an easy task.

"Well, we have two urban combat divisions on the way. While the rest of our forces are moderately effective in that area, the UCDs specialize in it, and those two would cause tremendous damage to the enemy forces if they entered the city, especially due to their heavy equipment."

"For the enemy's AEW aircraft, we'll probably use AERAAM equipped aircraft to engage them at very long ranges. They'd have to put up a major effort to stand a chance of preventing us to get close enough to use those missiles. The SEAD mission will probably be a bit easier, as we both still have large stockpiles of antiradiation missiles to engage with."

"Special Forces units could provide significant assistance with the whole campaign, including sabatoge of enemy air defenses and clearing, or at least locating, enemy traps and ambush points. We already have a number of special forces units in country, with Sapphire here acting as the overall commander of operations, so you'd have to ask her about operations like that."

URBAN WARFARE-Delta Tribe, Company 2256

The group had just cleared a church, and was moving on to, a two story resturant. They were going in the front door, that wasn't there from the bombing. They walked in, nothing, just rubble. They walked out, next up was a strip mall. Great they thought, counters galor. The first was unenterible, the next the same. The third was a pawn shop, and as they kicked open the half door, they saw a wall of guns. Dirty little shop one member thought. They started towards the guns, but then 4 shooters popped out of the back door, and sprayed Colt Commando rounds everywhere. 3 were dead, hit in the head. (Team of 10) 5 were wounded and would probably die. The commander looked out and fired off 9 rounds in the way of the terriorsts. He heard 2 bodies hit the floor. Good he thought, he then through a smoke gernade. His teammate then popped up and blasted 2 shotgun shells at the terrerosts. Then, the leader of the terrorists walked in the front door, pointing his MP5 at the two. He spoke poor english, but told them to drop there weapons. The 2 alive ones did, but the others did not. He blasted rounds into there limp bodies. The 2 alive, Lt. Srg. Adam Burggener and Lt. Mst. Brad Ka'Lithma, were shaking, as they knew that terriorsts had happy trigger fingers. They were taken out in the streets, across to a intact 11-story building, full of oppertunities.

"Very well. Perhaps our Infantry division could be fitted iwth urban fighting equipment, although the Army people still have to discuss about that. However, various traps can be a threat to us. Even car bombs and gunmounts on trucks. As said, we need to be very careful at all times, even after victory.

The plan seems good for the E-3. However, we still propose a massive air cover, incase enemy support comes. We believe several AERAAM could bring a commercial airliner done, perhaps. This should also provide a good advantage for us. For the SEAD missions, we could also use our Bottle Rocket UAVs, with air cover by EF-35As plus Firecracker UAVs, plus perhaps some of our custom F-4GP1 Wild Weasel aircraft. Perhaps we could also use a few of the MB-52I Megafortresses.

Of course, while SOFs could provide a decent blow to the enemy, we need to remember that the enemy has special forces too. Any comment on that?"

The colonel glanced at Sapphire, and then glanced back at Colonel Cline. He said with a smile, "We are sure that Sapphire could be a good leader in this."
Naturally, Sapphire was the one who answered the question about special forces. "indeed, we are well aware of the enemy special forces presence, which is exactly why I was chosen as the commander. You see, my team specializes in countering and hunting down enemy special forces units. We have a few additional teams with similar roles, in addition to the standard special forces units. Still, we should indeed be very careful while operating. We will, after all, be in hostile territory."
"One thing we should do to help offset that is pull together all special forces personnel who would know the city, such as those who've lived there or have close friends or family. They'll give us a slight home-field advantage."

The M200s, all two hundred of them, suddenly fired off a single round each, towards the north. The rounds they fired off were cargo shells. As the rounds flew threw the air, they began their decent towards the ground. Approximately seven miles away, the shells were near the ground. They burst open, and one hundred eighty DPICMs flew out, scattering all over the ground. They spread over an area of about eight kilometers long, and two hundred meters wide. These would be a devastating obstacle for the Omzian and Remiesian forces to counter, whenever the counter-attack was to occur. Another volley was to be fired towards the northwest, then the west, then the southwest, and finally the south. The city of Honjaksgrad would soon be surrounded by the utterly devastating DPICMs.

The northern area from Honjaksgarad --- abadoned --- is now the location of only a small amount of armoured forces. Near it are some M2012 Cavalier 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzers, capable of firing liquid-propellant rounds, and MLRS with MLRS rockets and TACMS rockets, and some old M2001A1 Crusader SPH. Primarily an artillery position. An AN/TPQ-36 firefinder firefinding radar was also located there, along with a MTHEL trailor for countering artillery shells -- to protect the rest.

Suddenly, when the shells flew and when the massive amounts of submunitions rains down, it struck a devastating punch against the old Iron Cheetah ADS tanks, plus some other Nova Cat IFVs .Some other combat engineering vehicles, Humvees, and M113s were also destroyed, along with a number of infantry there. Some artillery positions was also struck, with some M2001A1s and M2012s left dead. In total, 31 Iron Cheetahs there were "finished off", along with 36 Nova Cats and numberous other Humvees, with a few infantry that separated from their vehicles.

The Firefinder radar came, live. Quickly tracking the barrage of artillery shells striking a distance from it (although not that far). The crew frantically tracked the tracks of the DPICM artillery shell, and they finally found the location. Near Honjaksgrad. Suddenly, they transmitted the infomation to the few MLRS batteries still there, with other remaining Howitzers -- a small number.

As the fires struck the grounds, and the submunitions raining down onto armored vehicles, the artilleries came live. The M2012 Cavaliers fiercely fired over 60 DPICM shells carrying over 3840 M42 submunitions, plus over 1440 M46 submunitions, for them to rain down on the enemy, over the past few minutes. Some of the M2001A1 Crusanders, with less firepower fired another barrage of 38 M864 Extended Range DPICMs, with over 2736 M42 and M46 submunitions.

The rest also got smarter. Some leftover M2001A1s also fired 10 M712A1 Copperhead IIR-guided artillery shells, able to strike without a laser designator. Indeed, it is essentially a tryout -- but should bring some "unconventional" delivery of "percision" munitions.

The MLRS however, fired a barrage of 12 unguided M26A1 MLRS rockets, carrying 6216 M85 DPICM submunitions. The other 2 MLRS batteries -- armed with 2 TACMS missiles each, fired them all. The TACMS tactical missile fired were guided with inertial guidance, but carried 13 BAT (Brillant Anti-Armor Technology) guided anti-tank submunitions at the suspected artillery positions. Programmed with infomation before launch, and activating IR at the terminal, these new submunition is a deadly -- but expensive one.

The artillery, after firing all their munitions, quickly moved out as fast as they can, before another counter-battery fire was commerced. However, at least they doubted that the enemy forces could track the location efficently. The MLRS moved faster though, as usual. "Soot-and-Scoot", some may say.

An amazing counter-battery fire. The dawn sky was lightened, as the farmers wondered "just what the heck happened".

The Northern Section of Honjaksgrad

The northern section of Honjaksgrad was quiet. The streets were empty with the exception of the occasional stray animal that would exit from an alleyway. This area had become somewhat of a no-man's land since the Omni Conglomerates forces had taken control of the defense efforts in the area. None of the troops from the other allied nations would send any troops into the place knowing that only the Omni Conglomerates troops could now safely navigate through the managerie of mines, ambushes, and other nasty traps the Omni Conglomerates engineers and special forces had rigged in the area. From most of the rumors that came out of the northern section, the Omni Conglomerates special forces were still laying traps and planting explosives throughout the place. Most of the time the Omni Conglomerates troops would not even venture out of the buildings they were in, but rather they would use the underground sewers in an effort to learn the layout of the area. That was the first job of any soldier of the Omni Conglomerates when defending an unfamiliar area of a city. Learing the terrain was key.

----------------------

A small nightclub in the lower end of the north section of Honjaksgrad

The six man team, code named: Outhouse, had left their comfortable residence in the Starbucks and had made their way to an abandoned night club called the Ragnarock where they linked up with other special operations elements that were operating in the northern sector.

"Alright to so Goatee and Towelsnapper are still out checking the sewers for alternate entrances from the treatment plants main access chute, but where those guys in Poncho?" said Lt.

"Poncho is still on recon in the upper section and the rest are headed back here to discuss where we head next," said the leader of Hobo, one of the most experienced combat units in the area.

"Alright, now where do we stand on sewer recon?" said Lt.

The leader of Hobo replied,"Well, we have learned most of the ends and outs of the main system, but we will still need another day or two to get into all of the sub-tunnels and into those deeper shafts. Goatee took a detour down one of those and they lead into dead ends mostly from what they could tell. We told them to rig those tunnels with tremor recognition sensors just in case we missed something."

"What have we got on the streets?" said Lt.

"Nothing moves without us seeing it on the streets. I have most of the other units that aren't exploring the sewers or laying "surprises" for the enemy scoping out the cityscape and waiting for something to move that isn't supposed to," said the Hobo leader.

"How are we going to deal with the flow of enemy combatants when they reach the city?" said Lt. still wondering hoping they had enough ammo for all of these targets that were heading their way.

"We have used a manuver we used back in the Second Union War. We have set up barriers made of heavy concrete rubble from bombed out buildings and have weakened some of the substructure at specific points in the roads so they will collapse if heavy enemy armor rolls over those areas. While the Second Union war had us in the position surrounding the enemy the concept is still sound. We will funnel their troops through small back alleys and put them into a bottleneck," said the other unit leader.

"Alright, just remind your men that they are here representing a group of special forces that are amoungst the best urban combatants in the world. We wouldn't want to tarnish that reputation by sustaining anything less than 10 to 1 casualties now would we?" said the Lt. as he departed. As he left he thought back to his sevice in the Union Wars and in the Tariff Conflicts and he thought that all of his experience in those wars had trained him to take control of any urban combat situation. He knew that it would be likely that his men would take more casualties that 10 to 1, but he knew that once the enemy moved into this area that the Omni Conglomerates forced had secured, that his men and the men under other commands would respond to the knowledge of urban situations that had been running through their blood since the beginings of the City and that they would treat these enemy soldiers as if they were just another group of petty revolutionaries from the Union Wars.

The meeting completed and plans confirmed, the units steathily left the nightclub and moved on to their next drop site. The Omni Conglomerates was ready for any counter-attack.

The Major General nodded, as he took over. "I can see where we are going... Will these special forces be a good harass weapon, meaning that they are capable of harassing the enemy supply lines anytime?"
"Exactly. So long as they don't get caught in a set-piece engagement, our special forces will be able to cause tremendous damage to the enemy's ability to fight, even without engaging them head-on."

Captain Richard Osis glanced down at his instrument panel again. There was, after all, nothing to do except make sure everything was all right. With the aircraft coming in from the southwest, there wasn't much chance of a major enemy action to intercept the units, and even if there was, they'd be at an extreme disadvantage, with the enamy aircraft at the limit of their range, while the Smoke Jaguar Fighters had just been topped off again.

The aircraft were at the edge of Omzian airspace now, and heading in at a liesurely pace. Even now, the task force leader should be contacting Omzian air controllers, determining their destination, and where the massive task force would unload the first major Smoke Jaguar ground formation to arrive - the powerful 82nd Mechanized Airborne Division. Add to that the 8 combat and 7 support air wings, and this amounted to an impressive force, even if it would most certainly be split up to multiple air fields. After all, there were few installations in the world that could handle a force that size.

The Northern Quarter of Honjaksgrad, a small diner

Outhouse unit was setting another temporary headquarters in the norther sector. It seem like they were moving around quite a bit these days. This diner would soon be the scene of the next phase of their planning operation, or the building they would use to access the sewers to get underground in the event that the counter-attack started. They had been there for roughly 30 minutes, far longer than they had anticipated they would have to wait. A few more minutes passed and they got an identification signal from Hobo unit. Guns lowered the meeting began.

"Did you guys bring the food?" said Lt.

Lt. Bob Cain of Hobo replied,"No, I thought you were supposed too."

"Damn, we have to eat those crappy MRE's again. Let's make this short. There is a family grocery down the way that hasn't been raided of food yet," said Lt.

"Ok, lets begin with our progress on the sewer system," said Lt. Cain.

"We sent Wombat and Charliehorse down on patrols and from what I hear we have covered most of the passages and entrances in the sewers rigged up with tremor recognition sensors. On areas where we need to pass through the sensors are next to fiber optic video sensors so we can see what is coming and be alerted, the rest are just attached to enough explosives to collapse the tunnel. Most of the tunnels have been explored with only a few remaining and those are not connected to any key areas. We will keep watch though," replied Lt.

"We pulled out our guys after they finished their round of patrols. They did find a few large chambers. I think those were used as floodgate control points. We are planning on setting up some monitoring stations and weapons storage in there. All of the regular infantry are ready to do their part as well. I can't think of much more we can do to secure this place with the exception of adding more bodies. If we didn't have four special operations regiments working in the city I don't think we would have made it this far," said Lt. Cain of Hobo.

Lt. then asked,"So, when do you think they will get here?"

Cain replied,"The enemy? I don't know, but whenever they get here they will find a very prepared resistance facing them. I don't know about the readiness of the other troops, but I know it will take the enemy a very long time to rout us," Cain said this with a great deal of finality in his voice,"if they even can. I think we will be able to hold the city myself. And as for the enemy, I hope they get hear soon because I am getting an itchy trigger finger."

"I certainly hope so myself. I don't remember any of the rebellions in the Omni Conglomerates taking this long to respond after we took back some of the city. They usually attack before you can even draw up a plan to defend the place. These guys have left us with way too much time on our hands. I am even thinking of sending a few men over into the areas patrolled by Sniper Country forces to give them a hand,"said Lt. making his frustration over the fact that his enemy was taking so long to attack. He almost wanted to yell at them for inefficiently running their war. He had never seen an enemy let another force shore up its defenses for so long. Perhaps this was because he was used to fighting that occured rapidly.

"Are you ready to go check out that grocery store?" said Bob Cain.

"Yeah lets get the men together. I sure could go for some nachos. I hate these damned MRE's," said the Lt. as he bagan readying his men to move out.

The men moved out to grab some nachos at a grocery store. They did not know if the enemy would attack while they went to feast on delicious items like potato chips and spam, but they were ready for anything.

"On a non-related matter, how do you feel about how we should commerce air operations against Honjaksgrad, and any ships and aerial targets that are threats to it?"
It was Colonel Cline who responded to that question.
"Once the Smoke Jaguar forces are ready, we should launch a major campaign with SEAD and air superiority being our primary goals. Ideally, this would be launched in a few days, and we would hope to achieve superiority and elimination of most enemy defenses at least two or three days prior to the counterattack. That way, we'd have time to launch a major air campaign against the enemy's ground and naval forces in preparation for the attack."
"I see... Once the SEAD missions are complete, and air superiority has been achieved, we can be sure that we can stop any more enemy forces from getting into Honjaksgrad. Enemy gunships also won't find their way to the city, of course. We are also planning to also take down any ships that has significant air defence capabilities, such as aircraft carrier and guided missile cruisers. What do you feel about that? They will probably use ships as air defence probably, too."

OOC: Any response for my artillery counter-bombardment?

IC:

The patrols, mostly young recuited soldiers with virtually no real experience, continued their patrol along with a few machine gun and grenade launcher mounted Humvees, plus a few LAVs and Nova Cat CFVs. The remaining infantry, not far, has some heavy weapons such as the SHIPON rocket, LAW, and 76mm HIWS ready (OOC: For info check Western Asia's tech thread), along with other heavy machine guns of course. Some also even ahs thermal vision goggles with them plus binoculars, incase they spot something "suspecious"...

The driver, a young 18 northern Omzian Private, had his worries. What if he is shot? There's special forces everywhere in the city. Nonthless, he has his morales high. he drove and drove theough the dirt roads, until something has stopped the Humvee, something...

...splat.

"Private Mellan is shot! The driver is shot!", one behind the driver panicked.

"Sniper!"

"Take cover!"

"Someone is shot!"

"Medic!"

"Get the officers!"

"Revenge!"

The shot went through his upper neck. His comrades could see it, as a medical evacuation LAV rushed. he would be pronounced dead soon, as his friends stayed in a state of shock.

One sargent, much older than the Private, simply said "Private Mellan died for his country. Move on, and stop mourning. We got a war to fight, for him." The soldiers looked at the dawn sky, and rushed. "Tell the officers, suggest that patrol will increase. Snipers here, they are trying guerilla-style attacks now."

With that, the soldiers rushed away to the positions of the officers. Fast. They scrambled, to get a revenge for Private Mellan, who is in a tent being cared by the medics. The revenge will be set off, they thought defiantly. The incident didn't lower their morales as expected -- instead, they triggered their defiant hearts. The soldiers in their minds, vowed to fight back.

Only a moment, before they get into the action.

**************************

The artillery group knew it -- the enemies would start a counter-battery fire almost instantly. Some tank and armored vehicle escorts were knocked out at behind, along with another batch of M2012s and M2001A1s -- 11 to be exact. The submunitions rained down on the remaining forces left behind, small explosions and fires sparkled through the afternoon sky. The rest kept moving, kept moving...

The firefinder radar once again worked this time. Tracking the artillery shells, they immediately relayed the commands to the howitzers. With that, another batch of 48 modified DPICM shells were fired from M2012, each carrying 48 M42s and 24 M46s -- with a good CEP "accurate" enough for a howitzer. Bursts of fire can be seen from the barrels, as the howitzers fiercely fired their munitions, as a reply to the enemy.

One officer, after seeing this, commanded his fellow soldiers. "We've got an artillery bombardment. Quickly leave the scene before they shell us again! Get out of range of the 200mm shells, and we will be fine."

With that, the group turned north, trying to confuse the enemy. Or at least, trying to leave.

**************************

The SA-36Bs remained undetected by the Vulcan AAAs, and the Avengers of the convoy they are going to attack -- well, at least, not now. The soldiers continued to prepare, with AH-93C and RAH-66A patrols.

"There's no doubt that they will use thier air defense ships in a pinch. However, if they're AEGIS vessels, that will be a considerably diminished threat, as AEGIS has trouble operating with ground clutter. This means that all aircraft at low altitude will be relatively safe from the air defense, at least so long as they stay over land."

"Indeed," Sapphire interjected. "Having an idea of what we can do now as well as future plans is quite important. My teams will need to be ready for any major operation, but we can still provide some significant help with current things if we know where we're needed."

The AMF fleets had finally arrived at "The Honj" as it was being refered to, after a few days of weathering a brutal storm. Under Barbarosean and Sniper Country escorts, the fleets began deploying their landing craft, sending the first few waves of Sentinels onto land. Stepping off the first transport, Damien growled with a scowl across his face, looking from right to left. He spat on the ground, then uttered "Fucking country...". Moving at a double quick pace, the Sentienls began unloading supplies and moving towards the front lines.

Dreadfire reached for his SBP-90 off his back, and made his way towards the command center.

IC: Ground

About 122,000 men were now there, and over 60 grand were in the city. (62500) The "Airstrip" was now STOL Capible, which was a big step for the Barbarosea AF, now 22 Z-8b's and 28 Z-4's + 10 Z-1c' were stationed there. Also, Barbarosea men had set up the Bombardment cannon, and now...

The Jaggs had laser designated the buildup before, so it was in memroy onboard the Battalion (Command Ship). The information was transfered to the bombardment cannon. It fired off 5 of the HE missiles, and then waited for further commands.

The two helo's flew over the encampment, but there drop systems malfunctioned, and the doors wouldn't open for them, so no food was dropped. (Omz, did you shoot?)

The Troops now had a nice encampment going, with plently of supplies, they were just having the time of there lives.

"Understandable..." The Major General once again paused. "Very good meeting. We should get the air superiority and SEAD campign started soon. Any ideas on when the crews will be ready?

"The time it takes to begin depends on when we arrive and what facilities are available. I imagine it won't take more than a day or two to have everything ready for a massive operation, or we could be launching smaller ones within an hour or two after touching down. To maximize effectiveness though, we'd want the former."

264th Fighter Squadron (Renegades)
Captain Osis watched as the first C-5s began unloading their troops and supplies at the airfield (one of several dozen that the forces had been directed to). While the aircraft were being unloaded, they were also being refueled and prepared for the return trip, along with the squadrons that would act as their escorts. After all, there'd be no real use for the big transports in country, so they might as well head back to ferry additional troops and supplies over. The smaller C-17s and C-141s would stay though, as they'd be the prime transports for dropping airborne forces. However, all that mattered to Captain Richard Osis was that, as soon as those birds left off with their escorts, he could land, head to the (temporary) barracks and relax, with no expected mission assignments for over 12 hours.

OOC: Tomorrow or Thursday evening should be fine.

Honjaksgrad Sewers - Newly set up OC monitoring station

The room used to be a regulating station where the former Honjaksgrad public workers kept a watch on the levels of water, and/or sewage traveling through the system at any given time. Now the place was a monitoring center of the Omni Conglomerates military. They kept the water levels low to almost none in the areas they used for travel and nearly flooded all those that weren't in use. They familiarized themselves with the valve system so they could flood any tunnel they needed when the enemy came into the city. The old regulating system now had new items as well. After the OC special forces got finished setting up the tremor recognition sensors and the fiber optic video they rigged them up to specialized wireless adapters. The regulating station was now filled with a few hundred laptops and simple video screens. From here the OC troops could monitor all of the passageways into and out of the sewers system as well as most of the individual tunnels. With the ability to monitor the passageways also came the ability to detonate explosives that were attached to the tremor sensors. The sewers were the new stronghold of the troops of the City. They had ammunition stores, food, and all the other supplies they could possibly need stored down there and in other hidden locations throughout the northern sector. From the sewers they would make raids and conduct full scale assaults when the enemy began their counter-attack. Two officers disturbed the general quiet of the room by stepping in and taking a table for themselves.

"Now what else can we do?" said the Lt.

"We can watch and wait," replied Lt. Bob Cain

"We have to be able to do something. I have had my teams coming the northern section of the city searching for hidden locations, laying traps, and building defences. We have completed almost everything. We can't think of much else to do," said the Lt.

"You can do what my men are doing," said the Cain.

"And what is that?" said the Lt.

"Just watch and wait. Whenever you think of one more thing you can do to add to the defenses then do it and go back into your hole and wait," said the the experienced Lt.

"It is hard waiting, I have never been in a situation when the enemy took this long to make a counter-attack. In the Union Wars, the Stock Crisis, and the Free Trade Rebellion, my unit was usually attacked within the hour of taking new ground," the Lt. said with a sign of his impatience.

"You must understand that these men don't operate their wars like we do. We think in terms of urban combat usually where everu second is precious when you are taking territory because the enemy knows that however long you have that land is how long you have to make it a defensible position. When I was in the 3rd Union War, we took a small block of apartments. We hadn't had the area for five minutes before the enemy had mobilized and made a counter-attack. In that five minutes we had made up a nice little defensive circle around this one park. When the enemy came back they had to go through it. We used varying periods of fire and kept them guessing where we were. In the end we left none of them alive. So, son, don't worry about the war. Now I think we are probably needed back at our respective units," said Lt. Cain hoping he had eased his younger counterpart's impatience.

"You are right, Bob. I will get back to my men now, but I think we should rendezvous back here in 24 hours," said the Lt.

"Alright, I will make it an appointment then. I will bring Wombat and Towelsnatcher with me," said Bob as he was on he way back into the maze of sewers that made up the northern section of Honjaksgrad.

-------------------

The Omni Conglomerates section of the loading docks

"Ok, we can probably handle that after have these past few days off," said the loadmaster at the docks.

"Remember we are going to be getting in somewhere around 7,500 men each day for the next few days so be prepared to work late," said the a logistics officer.

"We may be working till night, but we will get them unloaded. There will probably be a little backup though since the Automagfreek men are arriving and they have yet to be assigned their own section of the docks yet," replied the loadmaster.

"Ok, as long as you know what is coming your way," said the logisics officer as he was about to leave.

"Sir, yes, sir," replied the loadmaster as he saluted and the officer left him to his duties.

The fifty five SA-36Bs screamed over the enemy buildup area, which was buzzing with life all of a sudden. The aircraft launched everything they had at the enemy- 20mm Vulcans, .30 machine guns, 2.75in rockets, and about twenty of them dropped a single 500lb dumb bomb each on the enemy. They had the upper hand of surprise. The aircraft immediately pulled up, and broke into different formations of five planes each, searching for any enemy helicopters- their main prey. With the enemy in such disarry, they were fairly certain any SAMs would be sort of slow to be pulled up immediately. They continued their flyovers, searching for enemy choppers, while raining down death and destruction on the enemy ground forces- infantry, tanks, and anything else that dared to be sighted.

The men of Levite Battalion, in a state of awe, were slow to fire. As soon as the commander of the unit came to his senses, he yelled "FIRE!" The men opened up fire with M4B2s, Para SAWs, and their other assorted primary weapons. The tanks and AFVs had been left behind, a mile back, in order to protect the landing zone for the eventual retreat of the men of Levite Battalion. Several of the men fired their M203s, while the others poured down 5.56mm rounds onto the enemy forces.
Indeed, after the sniper attack the soldiers ahs expected more attacks.

"Enemy aircraft!"

"We are going to be bombed!"

"Get your machine guns aimed at the aircraft!"

"Avenger crews!"

The radio calls quickly formed a virtual cloud, as some "real" voices can also be heard...

"Aicraft inbound!", an officer yelled, before he was instantly hit by a bomb. Devastated bombardment. Tank wreckages, bodies, burning trees, and remains of what was a group of Humvee, can all be seen. In total, over 50 tanks were destroyed, along with 80 other armored vehicles, and over 500 soldiers. Some Avenger Air Defence Vehicle and Vespa SAMs were too, destroyed. An entire Battalion-sized force is destroyed. Some other soldiers, as the SA-36Bs flew, tried to pickup them using their Black Fly MANPADS, but failed. Devastation, as some survivors -- only a few -- will recall.

8 AH-93C Firebird choppers flew in low flight, only seeing that the entire force is destroyed. As the SA-36B was sighted however, they knew something was "fishy". Quickly these armed helicopters, after realizing that the SA-36Bs were trying to engage them, they quickly fired 2 AIM-201 Scorpion short-range air-to-air missiles each, at the SA-36Bs.

At another place, only about 9km far away from the destroyed forces, some Avenger air defence vehicles -- 10 to be exact, detected a cloud unknown aircraft on their FLIR even before they received the news. P-51 Mustang-shaped aircraft, must be some suprise. As they flew in low-altitude, of course the CLAWS and Vespa radars can't detect them. Quickly, at a first reaction incase the aircraft does something suspecious, they fired 6 Black Fly SAMs (OOC: replacement for Stinger) each, at the enemy aircraft appearing on their FLIR. Even though the Black Fly's hit rate is only "over 60%", and they were fired at their maximum range, hopefully they'll hit.

As the aircraft pulled up however, the 8 CLAWS and 6 Vespas "rang". Quickly, the CLAWS fired 4 HUMRAAMs each at these aircraft, with 4 Vespa SAMs being fired by the Vespas -- of course.

"Our plan for our proposed Campign Seadlust, the name for the SEAD and air superiority operation, is that electric warfare aircraft such as our EF-35 Blazer and others to immediately provide jamming cover for our forces, along with Firecracker UAVs. At this time, EF-35 Blazers with Bottle Rocket UAVs will provide first strike on enemy air defence. Other aircraft, such as strike aircraft, and our F-4GL Wild Weasel will provide secondary strike.

As for air superiority, fighter aircraft will immediately enter hostile airspace along with the wave of EF-35 Blazers. The aircraft will begin its air superiority operations against enemy CAP aircraft with guidance from Omzian E-3 Sentry AWACS, as the strike on more SAMs commerce.

On the same time, Omzian F-14F Tomcat IIs, assigned for interception role, will empoly AERAAM and ALRAAM against the E-3.

Of course, this can change on your proposal. Once this is done, the operation can start, immediately. However, our second proposal is to have this start at midnight or early morning, for security reasons. As this is finished, it should pave a way for our aircraft to conduct low-flying strike mission on possible enemy buildups at the countryside, plus strike on civilian buildings that the enemy could take advantage of.

A standby alert notice was passed down shortly after Captain Osis was to hit the sack, but it was accompanied by another one from suggesting that aircrew take the time to get some rest in preparation for upcoming operations.

---SecureTransmission to Omzian Air Force Command---
From: CSJ Air Combat Command

We are ready to initiate the operation at any time, and have compiled a list of units available.

For an operation at 22:00 hours, we will have over 40% of our air-to-air combat aircraft unavailable, as their pilots were flying escort for the trip up, but can still launch the following:
8 Composite Air Wings (total of 432 combat, 8 AWACS, 8 JSTARS, and 48 EW aircraft)
5 Multirole Fighter Wings (total of 360 combat aircraft)
5 Composite Strike Wings (total of 270 strike and 20 EW aircraft)
4 Bomber Wings (total of 96 heavy bombers)
2 Air Control Wings (16 AWACS aircraft)
2 Air Control Wings (8 JSTARS aircraft)
1 Airborne Command Wing (8 ABCCC aircraft)
4 Airborne Jamming Wings (96 EW aircraft)
1 Electronic Warfare Wing (4 Psyops aircraft)
2 Reconnaissance Wings (12 SIGINT aircraft)
1 Reconnaissance Wing (10 recon aircraft)

For command and surveillance aircraft, we are only allowing for 1/3 of the number to be employed, which will allow us to provide continuous 24 hour operations even after the initial strikes.

Delaying the attack to 06:00 hours will allow us to add the following to the pool:
5 Fighter Wings (360 combat aircraft)
2 VSTOL Fighter Wings (144 combat aircraft)
2 Airborne Jamming Wings (48 EW aircraft)

The officer thought it for a short moment, then answered back. "We suppose so, as friendly fire can cause disarray among our forces."

She thought about it for a short while again, after speaking to the Major General. "We suppose that we can handle the Eastern portion of the city, while your forces control the Western Portion. Our forces will enter second -- that is, just about 1 quarter after the inital operation starting time, to allow your forces pave the way. Or it could, go on the reverse.

On a related note, we also do have a few things to do with our forces besides striking enemy positions and gaining air superiority."

OOC: On a related note, Sniper Country just showed some "concern" for our numbers? Mind if we reduce the number of aircraft that will actually fight in this operation a little, to aviod some arguments?

---SecureTransmission to Omzian Air Force Command---
From: CSJ Air Combat Command

Very well, this is acceptable. We will launch two separate waves. The first will included 2 composite air wings, 1 composite strike wing, 2 multirole fighter wings, 1 airborne command wing, 2 airborne jamming wings, 2 reconnaissance wings, and 2 air control wings.
Total is 10 AWACS, 6 JSTARS, 8 ABCCC, 72 Fighter, 180 Multirole Fighter, 54 Strike, 32 Tactical Jamming, 6 Standoff Jamming, 6 SIGINT, and 10 Recon aircraft.

The second wave will follow up 30-45 minutes later, and will be backed up by the support aircraft of the first wave. It will consist of 2 multirole fighter wings, 1 airborne jamming wing, and 1 composite strike wing.
Total is 144 Multirole Fighter, 54 Strike, 24 Tactical Jamming, and 4 Standoff Jamming aircraft

The combat squadrons of 2 Additional composite air wings and 1 multirole fighter wing will provide escorts for vulnerable aircraft (AWACS, JSTARS, ABCCC, SIGINT, etc). This amounts to 180 combat aircraft.

All other air units will be held in reserve for continual strikes.

"Yes, I think that we've covered everything we need to, for now."

48th Tactical Fighter Squadron (Wild Cards)
With the last Omzian transmission, the word had been immediately passed down to the combat commands, and 306 combat aircraft, backed up by 88 support units, lauched from some 30 temporary and permanent airfields. Among these was the 48th Tactical Fighter Squadon, 254th Composite Air Wing, flying 18 F/A-22C Raptors.
As the aircraft streaked into the air, the squadron commander, a Major Tabitha Williams (callsign Card 1), though about their operation ahead. Their role would be simple enough - providing high cover for the strike aircraft, and engaging any enemy fighters that existed. However, execution of that role, as her previous combat experiences had taught her, would be anything but simple, and she wondered not only what the enemy had in store for the air offensive, but whether the young pilots in her squadron could handle it. Over half of them, after all, had yet to see any real combat, and there was no telling how they'd handle themselves when it hit the fan.

Six o'clock news, Kiev, Ferrussia

The Ferrussian government recently announced that the country has gone to DEFCON 3. Heavy suspicions have been aroused that this is caused by the recent negotiations with Omz and Clan Smoke Jaguar, but this has not been confirmed. The government has alluded, however, that this may be a preparatory move towards a war in defense of Omz22.

President Yavlinsky refused to comment on why diplomatic negotitations are being held with Omz and CSJ, however he did note that they were going "rather well."

As part of going to DEFCON 3, various parts of the Ferrussian army are being called to their bases. All appearances suggest that Ferrussia is preparing to mobilize, but this, too, has not yet been confirmed.

More news when we get it.

The Barbarosean forces were ready, and they had started running drills to keep the troops fit, since they had been just sitting around.

As more men arrived, along with tanks and another bombardment cannon. A total of 142,000 men were ashore, along with 500 Bethomoth MBT's and 20 Jeep's. They were moving around, finding good backup locations. The two bombardment cannons were givin 5 RP rounds each, and were ready to use them.

The Airstrip was now about 3000 ft. long, but it had a 500 foot gap between the 2000 ft. strip and a 500ft. expansion part. A total of 68 aircraft were now usually flying CAP to protect Honjaksgrad. About 30 Z-1c's and 24 Z-4's and 14 Z-8's were flying the CAP. Also, over 100 (108) SkyStalker SAM batteries were erected in the city now, with a focus on the NW part of Honjaksgrad. If and when the Counter-Attack was to come, they would be ready.

EF-35s followed behind, with EC-130s, AWACS, JSTARS, and ELINT/SIGINT/COMINT aircraft back even further. Along with the Wild Cards were 7 other fighter squadrons for a total of 144 combat aircraft, which would be ready to pounce on any enemy aircraft that showed up.

221st Tactical Fighter Squadron, "General's Choice"

It is final: the famed and one of the most oldest squadron in the Omzian Air Force, the 221st Tactical Fighter Squadron, would be joining the combat. With a total of 24 F/A-22Cs, they would provide a punch against enemy aircraft. Awarded with honor, they are famed for one incident when a F/A-2000 Millenium fighter pilot manuvered his opponent into the river in an engagement. They are still continued to be trusted.

Major Jessica Langley, the only female pilot in the squadron, constantly looked at the MFD Displays and the radar display prior to the HUD. Following the waypoints and having the radar on scan, she flew with uncertainity. Passing the lights of villages and farms, she is not far from Honjaksgrad -- but not close either. A little nervous, she thought about when enemy fighters would engage her... Prepared for any AWACS calls, she would be the front-line fighter to engage any aircraft.

*******************

A flight -- the first flight of aircraft roared through the night, and rainy weather along with the Smoke Jaguar. Squadrons and squadrons of F/A-160 Wolverine multirole fighters armed for a variety of missions (srike, air superiority, SEAD), F/A-22C Raptor air superiority fighters, A-12C Avenger II fighter-bombers, F-15E Strike Eagles, and even A-114 Gunslinger and AMF-10 Manticore tank-killer jets flew. EF-35A and EF-35B Blazers armed with HARMs and jammers followed closely, with the veneable F-4G Wild Weasel also serving the SEAD role. EC-130 variants, E-3C AWACS, "Mini-JSTARS", and other EW/ELINT aircraft followed back even further to provide another type of cover. AC-130U Spooky gunships and even AH-93C Firebirds also followed.

A deadly punch. Or overall, 140 fighter/strike aircraft with about 18 EW aircrraft were in the air, along with the 4 AC-130Us and a group of 12 AH-93Cs.

********************

At almost the same time, at a safe distance away, teams of Predator, Bottle Rocket, and Firecracker UAV control stations got ready, with even M53 TELs for launching Naginata land-attack cruise missiles. They were scattered, and was protected well, to prevent a first-strike by the enemy.

The calls went, it is time. Suddenly, within mere 3 hours at about 23:10PM, the necessary "aircraft" all got ready -- 12 Naginata cruise missiles followed their terrain closely to strike known Sniper Country and Barbarosean SAM sites, 12 Firecracker UAVs to provide airborne jamming against enemy early warning and SAM search and fire control radars for the waves of CSJ and Omzian jets, and over 30 Bottle Rocket UAVs to loiter in hostile zones and dive down onto enemy SAMs (that are tracking them) to destroy them (using their warhead). Reloads after reloads, reloads after reloads, they finally managed to get the aircraft on the air.

43rd Electronic Attack Squadron (Static Shock)
As they neared the enemy positions, the EW aircraft began their mission. jamming systems came online, and those armed with Tacit Rainbow ARMs prepared to launch their missiles. The first Tacit Rainbows would be launched 50 km out, and set to loiter mode, where they'd join the patrolling UAVs in striking at any radars that lit up. HARMS were also being carried for a quick strike against any radars that survived the UAV threat.

79th Strike Squadron (Copperheads)
With the EW/SEAD aircraft readying for thier mission, and the target coming up fast, the aircraft began to split up into groups. One of these, consisting of the 79th Strike Squadron and the 264th Multirole Fighter Squadron, was tasked with knocking out the enemy airfield. Durandal bombs and mine dispensors were in abundance, with Locust missiles, JSOWs, and JDAMs also being present.

67th Tactical Strike Squadron

The squadron is just another squadron. But it was not.

Flying the AMF-10 Manticore tank-killer jet, it is a companion to the A-114 Gunslingers and was a companion to the A-10 and A-14s in Omzian inventory. These aircraft, which are just delivered on an order made years ago, are assigned to serve the Omzian Air Force's secondary "anti-tank" forces -- the first being the A-114s. Boasting advanced EO sensors and a ground attack radar, these birds are an ugly -- but powerful beast in the skies. In this mission, they are armed with 2 Hydra rocket pods, 4 IR Mavericks, 2 CBU-87s, a jammer pod, an illumination flare release pod, and 2 AIM-201 Scorpions for self-defence.

Captain Honjaz Longa turned on his AES-EagleEye ground sweep radar again. He loved that plane. Sure, the "Hog" is also an impressive one -- but not as impressive as this one. Heavily armored, advanced electronics, large load... It got all.

being on alert, he continued to sweep the ground at an altitude of just about 200 foot, at a speed of Mach 0.85. The group of 8 AMF-10 and 8 A-114s continued, and continued...

"Sir, our LR Radar went out."

"Just a second ago, we still have the DF and troop radar's but that one's been knocked out."
"Those damn Radar Jammers, what can we do to fire back?"
"Well, we do have a EMP satillite up there, but it's too risky, too many "ifs" involved."
"What about a projection system (PSS)?"
"Well, if we use that we will revail our position, but it would show there's."
"So I see, any other, non-coventional ways?"
"Well, the EL-UAV's we could send out, but I don't kno-"
"What do you mean, I don't know, we have to win this war, skrew the damn logisitics of them, launch it now!"
"Well, um, you see, I don'-"
Two pistol shots echo though the plane, guards rush to the scean, and kill the commander, but it's too late...

Out of the 10 J-2's up, 100 EL-UAV's drop out, and head towards the planes, with no detonation button, they are gone, and the crew can't stop them.

(OOC: EL-UAV's are coventional, they just shine bright light all around, and they have a central EL-UAV that is a Radar that is hardened to EMP and most radar jamming systems. So, I can see your planes, and so can my SAM's and Pat's. The problem with the EL-UAV's is that they were tested for any side effects of there program, and it was found that in certain enviroments, they will give off radition.)

The Northern section of Honjaksgrad, Nighttime

The men and women of the Omni Conglomerates Armed Corporate Forces recieved the SECNET transmission from Sniper Country just in time to put on their Oakleys. The sky was lit up like it was daytime and there were Sniper Country planes flying overhead. They now knew the air war had started. They couldn't have cared less. They knew the few Sniper Country PMADS that their allies had set up in the area would be firing away very soon. It didn't really matter to them since they didn't have any hardened defenses in place that were truly vulnerable to air attack. The MGRS that Sniper Country put in would also be helpful in their defense, even though they prefered using manpower for such things. For now, the Omni Conglomerates troops would watch and wait for the enemy to come. It wasn't like they had anything better to do.

117th Electric Jamming Wing
81st Multirole Fighter Wing -- 18 F/A-160 Wolverine

The aircraft were working together. 8 EF-35A Blazers, and 18 F/A-160 Wolverine aircraft were on a SEAD mission. The F/A-160s were armed with the Honjak Electrics HJJ-28 Tactical Jammer pods, 4 HARMs, 2 TSSAMs, and 2 AIM-201 Scorpions -- for self defence.The whole fleet of aircraft, configured for SEAD, quickly continued flying in caution, since active jamming do provide the enemy an opportunity to "see" them. Since they are not the really flying low, and since this isn't exactly a strike mission, they figured that they could just use the regular helmets.

Just as the suprising "daylight" came, they know the enemy has launched an emergenc reaction campign. At a standoff range, quickly, using their HARM targeting devices, the EF-35A Blazers quickly fired 5 HARMs each at the remaining radar transmissions that haven't got down by the UAVs and CSJ aircraft, while the F/A-160s fired another 3 HARMs each, plus all TSSAMs at all major known SAM sites. Immediately after firing them, they immediately executed an escape manuver: 80 degrees climb, alieron (sp.) roll, and release of chaffs and flares, and quickly left off.

The TSSAMs quietly travelled at subsonic speeds, while the HARMs dived at ground radar transmissions at a speed of Mach 2. Hopefully they could strike their targets.

OOC: I assume SC knows what are TSSAMs, since he noted that the F-13s can carry them in the Bearcat sales thread.

******************

40th Tactical Fighter Wing
F/A-22C #AF-22-101 -- 129

"AWACS radio call. Pop-up group bearing approximate 188 for 068, Angels low, Hot."

"Bandits for 046 at front position, Angels low, hot." [OOC: Meaning: 46km away, low altitude, heading towards group of allied aircraft]

Just as they received the "shock" of the light -- well, not too much for them at least, quickly switched off their NV, as it would be useless at night. The F/A-22Cs quickly had the radar transmissions of the F-13B Bearcats on their Radar Warning Receivers -- so are the AWACS, and missiles. Carefully, they escorted their strike aircraft, but they finally got something onto their targets. Just as they turned on their AIM-238 Cockatrice on their bore air-to-air mode and have their radar caught onto targets, and fired two AIM-238 Cockatrices at teh cloud of enemy aircraft each, their missile warnings came.

"Twenty one, missile launch at eleven o'clock, engaged defensive!"

"Four, missile launch at twelve o'clock, engaged defensive measures!"

"Bearcats incoming." ...it continued. Just as these came in...

"Eleven, I'm taking damage, ejecting!"

As the messages went by, the aircraft finally activated their defensive measures, and fired their chaff and flares. However, 7 are hit, sending debris onto farms and hills, and the pilots ejected. the pilots got smarter. Some of the planes front quickly turned off their radar, and activated their EO (electrical/optical) tracking mode using their newly-installed IRST suite. Despite that the F/A-22C's radar is also "stealthy" enough for one, some got smarter. Still at BVR, 12 F/A-22Cs quickly fired two AIM-201 Scorpion heat-seeking missiles each at a range of 18km. Soon they would activate their helmet-mounted sights. Some also got smarter, and "uncaged" the radar seekers of the AIM-238 Cockatrices. While having their EO mode, another 12 F/A-22Cs quickly fired 2 AIM-238 each at the enemy aircraft, relying on the radar seeker of the AIM-238.

Radio messages announcing the firing of the missiles can be heard, as the aircraft quickly initated their various offensive manuvers to engage the 48 F-13B Bearcats head-on. The usual ways to counter the F-13s -- the stuff they learned at the "Agressor-countermeasures" courses just a few days after "the news".

****************

8th Naval Fighter Squadron, 12 F-14FL Tomcat II-s

Not far, the 12 F-14FLs were on a difficult mission: using their AIM-189 AERAAM missiles to intercept enemy AWACS aircraft. An Omzian E-767 is nearby, providing date-link for these interception missiles. Using their AWACS data, they quickly got the target on the E-3 about 190km away, while turning off their radar to gain additional "stealth". Armed with 4 AIM-189s, and 2 AIM-201 Scorpions each, they quickly fired all of their AIM-189s based on the datalink to the AWACS, all targeted at the Sniper Country E-3s. The E-3 is what they relied on. They needed to kill it, being the only aircraft in Omzian inventory really designed for the interception role -- aside from a few reserve F-24s, which are more for intercepting high-altitude, fast-flying bombers.

Quickly, unsure whether escorts are nearby, they quickly initated a self-defence manuver of diving down and changing direction, fired their chaff, and set their course north. Kicking their afterburners, they would be not far away from a nearby Naval air base.

******************

23rd Composite Air Wing
Multirole Fighter Squadron #337th

"Airship or balloon nearby. Engage defensive manuvers." A radio message went by as it detecyed the Hyperion Airship.

Another group of air superiority aircraft -- 12 F/A-160s each armed with 2 AIM-201 Scorpions, 6 AIM-238 Cockatrice. Suddenly as they received the AWACS radio message of their faint detection of the airship, they quickly panicked. They also had detected the radar transmissions on their radar warning receivers, and it clearly painted the airship's radar transmission. "What the hell do they do? They haven't been suited for this kind of air-to-air engagements against big airships... That isn't their job. Call up air units? Too late." The enemy seems to use an airship for AWACS, it has been clear. They know how to shoot down an E-3, but not an unique airship.

A temporatory solution: fire on the control units. But how? They depended on their luck. Quickly, they emptied 2 of their Cockatrices each on the airship, hoping some would hit "the bottom". After all, the bottom -- the control units -- would have a larger RCS than the actual skin of the airship, which deflects radar signals.

79th Strike Squadron (Copperheads)
Skimming across at treetop level, Major Antoine Pardier (Copperhead 1) risked a glance up to the light show greeting the attack. They were 50 kilometers out, so it would be another 4 minutes before his squadron would be close enough to begin the strike on the airfield, and he could expect to wait another 2 minutes after that before he charged in. After all, his was one of the three aircraft in the squadron equipped with mine dispensors and Durandal anti-runway bombs. The others would want to clear out all the defenses before he made his run.

Rainbow 1, 42nd Reconnaissance Squadron
The RC-135W Rivet Joint SIGINT aircraft designated Rainbow One was holding position 100 km behind the main strike when the first signals came in. Unable to classify the signal, but certain it was hostile, they stored the information for later analysis and ordered one of the EF-35s to attempt to engage with HARMs.

48th Tactical Fighter Squadron (Wild Cards)
Major Williams watched as the first lead squadron began firing off their ALRAAMs at the closest enemy air units. Some 36 missiles were now heading towards the enemy aircraft, which should now be some 100 km from the lead aircraft, 120 km gtom the Wild Cards. The 48th would be next in line to engage. With each aircraft in the squadron being armed with 4 externally mounted Cockatrice missiles, that would mean 72 missiles, to be launched when the enemy fighters were within 70 km.
Up above, the F-23C Black Widow IIs of the 64th Fighter Squadron (Snakeaters) were accelerating. They would be going after the Barbarosean J-2s as the F/A-22s engaged the enemy fighters. And further behind were the strike aircraft, ready to pour in as soon as an air lane was blasted open by the fighters.

Modified Chimera SSGN Oberon, Port Racice
After being loaded with all 24 available Crossbolt prototypes, the submarine slipped out of the harbor. Though she was only a test platform, the submarine's role was already complete, and though there were still some occasional problems with the missiles, it was decided that they would still be able to inflict some significant damage on the enemy fleets, and at least cause some damage while the CSJN waited for the production missiles to come out.

Northeim Military Airfield
The C-5B Galaxies of the 522nd Air Mobility Wing, having finally been loaded, prepared to lift off, taking their precious cargo to Omz222. This included 1440 AGM-271A, 1152 AGM-271B, and 576 BGM-271C missiles, as well as equipment for converting allied ships to fire them. Production Shinmas were finally coming over!

Omz222

03-12-2003, 05:32

Banasik Air Force Airbase
Northeast Omz222

A "shipload" of military vehicle and transport aircraft were there. Trucks, patrol vehicles, and even a few Western Asian PelicanULTRAs for carrying the Shinma missiles they would receive later. A well-prepared scene. Finally, some production Shinmas to replace the few prototype ones they've been reciving. The prototypes would be reserved for later use incase of "emergency". However, older Harpoons will still stay, providing a termporatory solution for the Omzian military before a post-wartime full deployment of the Shinmas.

The chief commanding officer of this transaction, Major General Gansa Vansare, an officer related to the Omzian President Vansare, sat in his office near the airbase again. Sitting in the dark office, he stared at the reports again, coldly. "Major Yavinsky, get here!", he ordered with a emotionless roar. "Yes, Comrade Vansare."

The Major General calmed himself down, and continued. "I heard this deal will be finished soon? They are sending transports to carry these new anti-ship missiles I believe? Or so..."

"Yep Major General, full load in excess of 3500 missiles. Essentially half of our active Harpoon arsenal. Although this will be used as complement to the Harpoon, we should see full deployments of these after the war, hopefully.", the Major explained in an over-friendly voice. No one dared to talk in "other ways" to the Major General. Absolutely no one, even his own ranks.

The Major General thought about it a moment, while giving a cold look at the airbase, and then glanced back. "I suppose so... I suppose so... Understood, Major. Now, go."

The Major saluted, and then exited the office. "Close the door!", just a final command before the Major's departure.

"Yes sir," the Major replied obdiently, as he slowly closed the wooden door. No slamming, not too slow, he thought.

"Idiots...," the old Major General said under his breath before resuming his work near his unused-for-years computer. He didn't like those "new electronic gagdets," as he says himself. "Young idiot officers..."

They knew that the enemy would surely have better SAM systems. Deploying flares, chaffs, nontherless the 4 fired on were immediately hit, turning into fireballs, as the crews panicked desperately. The crews of 2 hit Blazers immediately died. The other 4 however, continued to fly to the northern positions, trying to flee the area immediately.

462th Tactical Strike Squadron

A suprise attack by the previous-unknown PMADS systems. Quickly, the F-4G's roles has begun.

The 12 F-4G Wild Weasels with the Omzian "Block Super-8" upgrades, were "escorting" the EF-35As. They weren't necessarily using any Wild Weasel tactics themselves, rather with the EF-35As, sort of. Flying at a rooftop level, the pilots flying these are mostly experienced low-flying strike aircraft pilots. The WSOs are experienced navigators and WSOs from other "older" aircraft -- that is, before they really stepped onto the F-4G stage. They were armed with 2 Cockatrices, 2 Scorpions, plus a total of 12 CBU-87 CEM cluster bombs mounted on the 4 pylons and the fuselage bomb rack. As the PMADS concentrated on the EF-35As, they took the advantage. The pilots scrambled, as the WSOs got the target on the 7 PMADs. But hey concentrated their mind mostly on the PMADS that are not firing.

The total of 120 CBU-87 Cluster bombs (out of 144) suddenly separated from their racks: the WSO is using a multiple-bomb release mode. As approx. 12 are dropped on each firing unit, the 2424 CEB (Combined Effects Bomb) rained down onto the SAMs, just as these SAMs continued to concentrate their target on the EF-35s.

*********************************

28th Bomb Squadron

It is always their job to finish the missions requiring "Superior firepower". A squadron dated from the old B-52H Stratofortresses, these 6 B-1Cs' crews were very well trained. They came to Honjaksgrad for a puprose: to bomb their own. But what? They will be commercing a devastated strike against enemy-captured harbours, and ports, disabling the enemy's ability to send logistics aid to . The airstrips however -- the only working one, the Barbarosean-build airstrip, would be left to the Smoke Jaguars, as they are planning to attack it. Escorted by another 6 F/A-160Bs armed with an AA load, they nonetheless followed these bombers flying at a subsonic speed.

As they flew over the beaches in low formations and with ECM jammers and countermeansures deployed, they begin to unleash their deadly punch of a total of 144 2000lb JDAM bombs (24 each). Falling like sticks, these JDAMs immediately followed their 16-digit GPS codes, and fell onto all enemy-captured ports and harbours. With this, they would have a hard time to rebuild one major port that will accept sealift ships. A total of 288,000 pouns of munitions were dropped in this bombing run. The crews never expected light, they expected victory.

Quickly to avoid losses, they kicked their engines at a supersonic speed, climbed up, and flee onto the south.

***********************

23rd Composite Air Wing
Multirole Fighter Squadron #337th

The pilots were frustrated as they received no report of loss of this huge airship, still hanging on. Sending urgent messages to the Air Force command to immediately send more Navy F-14Fs with huge interception missiles, as 2 were knocked out of the sky by some lucky AIM-9Z. Receiving the launch of AIM-54 in one fighter, it immediately did a high-angle dive, and immediately backed up. They learned about evading AIM-54s in Air Force classes. They also had the signature of a Patriot radar-like radar on their RWR, thinking would the airships do with a PAC-3.

Heading on, they fired another 2 Cockatrices each at the airship at BVR range, and immediately escaped off with launches of custom Omzian chaffs and flares, while kicking their afterburners. Another flight of 12 land-based F-14FLs would be immediately taken into the battlefield later, but still not soon.

**************************

40th Tactical Fighter Wing
F/A-22C #AF-22-101 -- 129

Immediately, the crowd of pilots, seeing the F-13Bs now finally tries to really engage them, immediately kicked their afterburners, and immediately executed various offensive manuvers, some even being Yo-Yo manuvers. As the F/A-22Cs chased them, and as they have gotten closer, as they uncaged the radar seekers of the Cockatrice, or the IR seekers of the Scorpion. Only having another 2 Scorpions left, they mainly used the more expensive Cockatrices, as another batch of 36 Cockatrices are headed towards the nearest F-13Bs, as they kept their eyes on the navigation system, radar, and radar warning receiver constantly.

But, as always, they were careful to not run into the fleets. Luckily the war is still at near the center of Honjaksgrad.

******************************

421st Tactical Strike Squadron, 12 A-12C

The A-12Cs, being one of the new aircraft in the Omzian arsenal, were especially precious and used as often as the command could. This time, armed with 2 self-defense HARMS and Scorpions along with 4 2000lb JDAMs each, they were on the mission to destroy the remains of the known Sniper Country SAM systems (MARS/MGRS), as they followed the F-4Gs, the F/A-160s, and the EF-35As, and just as the time when the Sniper Country engineers desparately tried to repair the damaged radars that resulted from the Bottle Rockets and some portion of the HARMs. They were also on the mission to destroy the remains of the Barbarosean SAMs: the massed group of SkyStalker SAMs. However, they will receive more "aid soon".

Just as 6 A-12Cs closed off their radar and followed the ground using inertal guidance systems, they quickly flew over the damaged SAM systems, and immediately unleashed their oridance just a few miles away: a total of 24 2000lb JDAMs. Following their GPS codes of the different tagrets, these greenish-bodied bombs quietly, glided onto their target.

The other 6 A-12Cs however, headed towards the northwestern part of the city, informing the CSJ forces of their presence. Knowing that the CSJ forces is concentrating on them, the A-12Cs nonetheness helped, and dropped another 24 2000lb JDAMs on othe clutters of SAM batteries. Once again, they glided for about 8 miles, and fell over.

************************

336th Tactical Strike Squadron
61st Composite Strike Wing

The 12 F-15E aircraft, out of the 24 in total, have just taken off, onto the attempt of finishing the artillery position that has bombarded the Omzian forces earlier. With reliable data, they are sure that there are still some there. But they are also sure that some also moved, and/or new ones are coming. At subsonic speeds, and armed with 8 CBU-87s each, they have a mission to accomplish.

OOC: Good job on reading the posts. But you still forgot the E-3 attack :P

Honjaksgrad, a small subway depot on the southern end of the northern section of the city

A platoon of Sniper Country soldiers hunkered down with the units, Outhouse and Hobo. They were sharing some food they had raided from a 7-11 before the fireworks began. Hobo unit had originally intended to head to the far north of the northern section of Honjaksgrad, but their plans had changed after the radar blackout. They had been ordered to go south and link up with Outhouse to act as tour guide to any allied forces that needed help navigating the intricate sewer network. That job sucked so they just decided to rest in a subway depot.

"When do you think the ground war will start?" said Lt. Jack Teer of Sniper Country.

"No telling. I doubt we will have to wait much longer though. Omz and the Clan are likely to want to establish air superiority first and then start a ground attack. It wouldn't make sense for them to do otherwise. It would be suicide," said Lt. Dan Smith of Outhouse.

"He is right. They will probably not even launch a ground attact if they don't get air superiority. It wouldn't make sense sending their infantry to their deaths. Not that they aren't going to die in droves if they come in with air superiority," added Lt. Bob Cain of Hobo.

Lt. Charles Sanderson, the leader of the SC Platoon replied,"You never know. They could actually be that stupid. I've seen dumber tactics in my time." He was refering to a combat exercise between Sniper Country and Omni Conglomerates in which the OC troops charged the SC entrenchments losing their advantage in battle.

After a few moments of silence Cpl. Greg Rogers broke it by spitting out some food he had been chewing on,"AHH! Not again! Banana freaking beef!"

"You also?" said Lt. Smith,"I always get those crap combinations too. I think the distribution center does that just to spite me."

Cpl. Rogers replied,"Yeah, it always seems to happen when I borrow MRE's from Omni Conglomerates soldiers."

"Yeah actually we keep the crappy combinations just to give to you guys. It is so damn funny when you guys eat that stuff. I think L.T. is the only one who will actually eat the stuff," said Cpl. Hicks biting back his laughter.

"Shut up, Hicks, or you will get Riggs' duties," said Lt. Smith.

"Why so I still have to get everything for everyone? I am not the newest member of the unit. Morris is. Why don't we get him to do everything?" said Riggs.

The Lt. replied,"You have to do everything because it builds character. Besides, Morris will probably get shot when the ground war starts anyway. We need you to keep up the job."

"What?! How do you know I will get shot? I'm not incompetent. I know when to take cover,"said Specialist Dan Morris.

"True, but you are also the sixth man in our unit. That is unlucky. The sixth man always gets shot. It is a fact. I have run a five man team for the past two years because of that reason. You just had to come in and screw it up, so, as a result, you will probably get shot when we go into combat next," the Lt. said with only a little seriousness.

"Damn, so what do I do?" said Morris.

"Run, get on a boat and head straight back to The City," said Lt. Smith.

"He might get shot on the way over to the boat," added Sgt. Eric Szonabiek of Hobo unit.

"Or, on the way out of the subway depot a wayward missle could take him out," added Sgt. Jessica Cutts, also of Hobo.

"Or, one of our own snipers might mistake him for an enemy combatant. Those guys are testy," said 1st Sgt. Lucas of Outhouse.

"Screw you too!" yelled 1st Sgt. Bishop, second in command of Hobo unit and their unit's designated sniper.

There was a long laugh shared by everybody in the subway depot. Their laughter was interrupted by a loud explosion and a large cloud of smoke coming out of one of the subway shafts.

"Dammit! That one was close. Now we have to relocate. Time to move out men,"said Lt. Cain looking around seeing no one was hurt.

The two Omni Conglomerates units and the Sniper Country platoon moved out in search of another spot. That bast from what they assumed was a missle hitting one of their air defense launchers had knocked out one of their means of escape from that area. Now that their area had only one route of escape they needed to find another place with at least two.

Somewhere in the ocean off of the Coast of Omz, aboard the OCS Sony

"I assure you, Admiral Lindsey, you will have much better luck going with my fleet than you will finding those bloody Clan ships," said Vice Admiral Karakov, given control of the mission from Admiral Gerrarde Stukov.

"We may,"said Admiral Lindsey over a secure comm. channel, continuing,"I'll have to check with my superiors first. My orders are still to hunt down those Clanners."

"Very well, I suppose we will resume contact at the standard time then?" said Karakov.

After Karakov got off of the horn, he checked over his battle plans and his numbers. He was sending:

(4) AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Agamemnon Class

(20) RECON (PT) BOATS
Petty Tempest Class

(20) DESTROYERS
Knight Class
King Class (Heavy)

(36) FRIGATES
Tangent Class (ASW)
Manticore Class (Missile)

(10-SSG/ 15-SSN) SUBMARINES
Trident VI Class (SSG)
Seawolf IV Class (SSN)

(6) CRUISERS
Galaxy Class

(2) BATTLECRUISERS
Dreadnaught Class (Medium)
Excalibur Class (Heavy)
He hoped it would be enough for the operation he had in mind. The Sniper Country vessels would help considerably in this operation titled: Salted Earth.

As the aerial battle raged on over Honjaksgrad, Smoke Jaguar aircraft began entering the airspace over the city. With the fighters flying cover, and the jammers and ARMs degrading the enemy radar networks, the first waves of strike aircraft began targeting the outlying SAM positions, as well as the few enemy command posts and depots that could be identified. Mavericks, HARMs, Locusts, and cluster bombs rained down on any troops or vehicles out in the open.
Away from the main attack, the aircraft tasked with taking out the airfield continued on to their target.

Yoshi Kobagawa Carrier Battle Group
Things were looking up for the battle group, which had been required to steer clear of the enemy positions after its strike against the AMF fleet, owing to the relative lack of firepower the carrier group possessed. That was now changing, however, as they were had just met up with the Jessica Kabrinsky CVBG, effectively doubling their firepower. The escorts were still rearranging themselves to offer maximum protection for the expanded fleet, but this was now a powerful task force, and would be heading north to link up with the Omzian and allied fleets. It was only a matter of time before they'd see action again.

Total Force:
2 Nicholas Kerensky CVN
4 Carrack CG
8 Sparrowhawk DDG
4 Sniper DD
4 Prowler FFG
4 Hunter FF
4 Moray II SSN

Atlas Carrier Battle Group
The massive Atlas and Hercules, each with one and a half times the air complement of a Nicholas Kerensky class carrier, formed the mainstay of the escort unit, which was protecting the first convoy en-route to Port Hagras. The huge carrier battle group was backed up by the Kevin J. Anderson and Victor Korvek, a pair of lighter Franklin Osis Class carriers, as well as a cruiser squadron, two destroyer squadrons, a frigate squadron, and an LCS squadron, with a single heavy bombardment squadron rounding it out. The ships being protected would provide an entire armored corps, with 4 reinforced divisions, an amored cavalry regiment, and a multitude of supplies and munitions. Also present with the group were two squadrons of AIP submarines, using the large escort force as cover for running while snorkeling, thus allowing them to move much faster, and saving their batteries for later.

The total escorts:
2 Titan CVN (Golden Falcon import)
2 Franklin Osis CVL
2 Toryu BB
2 Firestorm Arsenal Ship
4 Hiragi CA
7 Carrack CG
21 Sparrowhawk DDG
9 Sniper DD
8 Prowler FFG
9 Hunter FF
6 Tarantula LCS
6 Conqueror SSK
6 Interdictor II SSG (Firebolt)
11 Moray II SSN

On satellites and other sensor systems from Omzian Navy and Air Force C4I systems, the Omzian Command has immediately spotted recent "suspecious" movements by the enemy fleet. It finally seems that they are moving on. Moving onto the Hagras area. The commands already knew that Port Hagras would be most likely be the target -- for its military presence. But the enemy would still have a hard time getting through the Cancun Strait, followed by another Gulf. But as the enemy fleets did gave them enough time to boost up Port Hagras and other places' defence anyways, the military climate was heavy throughout the area.

With the Smoke Jaguar fleet, Port Hagras would get an automatic protection. But also with the 16" coastal artilleries, Firebolt and Shinma truck launchers, plus docks for 1 Victor class light carrier, 3 Levianthan class SSNs, 5 Interdictor II SSGs, and a few other destroyers, cruisers, and corvettes there, the Port Hagras area would be hopefully safe. Various fighter-bomber aircraft plus B-52H Stratofortresses geared for anti-ship missons are stationed at defended airbases are linked up, ready to strike within the moment's notice. But the Air Force is going to do something else with them. The powerful Navy P-7A Poseidons provide maritime and ASW patrol for the area.

In the city and around critical points however, Army Vespa and Grendel SAM batteries along with reserve Hawk and Patriot SAMs, closely guarded various mobile and fixed installations. As of course, they are linked with other SAMs and early-warning radars in the area, to prepare for any attack.

*************************

It was night time again, as Admiral Kans Ukarans sat in his Naval command office in Port Hagras. Days and days seemed like hours for him, passing by. He couldn't just believe it was night again, even after all the work. He knew the enemys were moving faster and faster with the time, so are the defences. Another long, exhausting day. But something else to do before he really take a break. Pressing a button on his new digital phone, he quickly punched in a few numbers, and spoke as he got onto the line. "Is this Rear Admiral Hone Long of the 227th task force?"

A distant voice appeared, and easily replied, "yes, Admiral Ukarans. Some matters? We will be setting sail very soon. We are to link up with the Smoke Jaguar forces, remember?"

With a smile, Admiral Ukarans replied with trust, "of course. We are activating an entire battle group incase the situation esculates. But as always, we are trying as hard as we can to provide coverage for all areas while focusing on enemy advance. Nowhere will be left off."

With a light chuckle from the other side, the voice continued to reply. "We are sure of that. As we've just gotten the data, we are sure that coordination with Air Force and Army assets, plus Smoke Jaguar assets, would bring total safety to secure Port Hagras."

Admiral Ukarans, demanding for a break, finally replied in a slightly tired but still enthusatic voice. "We are sure of that, Rear Admiral. I shall hang up the line for now." With that, and giving a short time for the Rear Admiral to react, he quickly hang up the phone. Finishing his work, he would finally drag his tired body out of the office.

*****************************

227th Task Force, southwest of Port Hagras.

As the ship wandered around the Port Hagras area, ship crews were busy -- monitoring, arming, preparing, and most important of all, communicating. Especially the flagship crews in the Omzian Carrack Class CG, ONCS Alarm. The ship, which is modified to carry various C3I equipments while still functioning as an overall air/anti-ship defence cruiser, were busy to make sure they are linking up and communicating every second.

A distant secured MILCOMM line was opened with the Atlas carrier battle group of the Smoke Jaguars, and it was followed by a message. "This is the Omzian cruiser ONCS Alarm, of the 227th Task Force of Omzian Navy. Requesting identification."

OOC: The 227th Task force consists of -
1x Victor Light carrier,
2x Carrack Class GM Cruisers,
2x Hiragi Battlecruisers,
3x Sniper Destroyers,
5x Sparrowhawk Multirole Destroyers,
2x Ikara Class ASW Frigates,

Atlas Carrier Battle Group
With the fleet being informed of the possible threat of a large incoming enemy force, the vessels immediately began rearranging the defensive pickets. When it was finished they'd have their heavier combat ships focused in the enemy fleet's path to shield the transports, which would be protected by the smaller escorts. The submarines also began to go to work, with 6 Moray II class boats breaking away to patrol further east. In addition, a trio of Interdictors started sailing ahead, heading out to find a good ambush point.

Recon Facility 09301 - Huntress
The woman, one Miss Amy Jackson, studied the satellite photograph carefully, even though the contents were obvious. She'd now counted over 30 of the small submarines, and she was barely half finished. They were all appearing to join a growing combined task force that was suspected of preparing an operation at Port Hagras. The size of this force was very troubling, as so many submarines, even with their serious disadvantage in speed, could pose a major threat to any forces in the area. All fleets operating in the area would have to be notified immediately.

OOC: SC, are those Gatos the same ones that Talkos sells for $40 million? Want to make sure I have the right ships.

Shortly after the faint transmission to the Atlas CVBG, silence took over. Waited by the crews, the reply simply didn't come.

"This is the Omzian Cruiser ONCS Alarm, of the 227th Task Force of Omzian Navy. Requesting identification."

Admiral Wilson Shire was busy with a multitude of reports from headquarters when the Omzian transmission came in, and he was very irritated when he found out that they had waited to get him before replying. "Oh well," he mumbled to himself. "At least we've finally met up with them."

Transmission to Omzian Task Force
This is the assault carrier CVAN-1 Atlas, under Rear Admiral Wilson Shire, of the CSJ Northern Fleet, escorting transport convoy ARK-23, en-route to Port Hagras to unload.

OOC: Your IC "10 hours" statement got me thinking: why not put time in posts? :P

Skymer BMD/Theater Air Defence Site, Ganhavspe
0828 Tuesday

The crews at the site were busy. Pulse-dopplar radar vehicles constantly spins their huge, rectangular plates, searching for any target using its low-frequency, milimeter radar waves: be it a high-altitude bomber, be it a ballistic missile's warhead. Using Over-ther-Horizon technologies, they can provide a good "air defence" bubble over Port Hagras. Especially when they are fully linked with airbases, naval battlegroups, and other early warning stations and SAM units. Besides the trucks with the huge canisters containing the missiles, there sat the command unit -- a huge trailor.

One operator stared at his "command console" in the command trailer -- a huge one. He've been staring at this 16-color screen for hours, waiting for a bait before he can go back to his home not far from the site. Working in a night-shift, he is even more tired. But at least, he's not the only one. As he stared at the other operators, and then stared at the screen using his exhausted eyes. But something was on the screen. Suddenly, he bursted out loud, "multiple contacts made... South.... In excess of 10."

The other operators looked at him. "Distance? Speed? Type of contact?". Just as they asked, some of the dots disappeared. The operator simply said, "approximately 500km, Mach 1. Type unknown, persumed to be manned aircraft or unmanned drone or missile... Some contact lost!"

"Get the AWACS and Grendel units," another warned, as one typed something into a computer... With that, a message was sent quickly through secured Omzian MILCOMM channels.

This is Alpha Base. Unknown radar contacts made at south of Port Hagras, approximately 400-600 kilometers away. Persumed to be aircraft of any kind. Radar computer data is being sent as attachment. Advise is to contact naval forces and army forces immediately. F-24 Antares interceptors to be brought online.

********

Ganhavspe-Von Air Base
0839 Tuesday

The large Ganhavspe-Von Air Base is truly a magnificant sight. One of the largest in the region, it is also the only one that houses heavy fighter-bombers plus a squadron of F-24 Antares interceptors. Control towers, tarmacs, and some early warning and air traffic control radars
dominated the air force base, with its own power plant (incase the main power grid is down), SAM, and AAA units. A cloudy morning, but still free of poor conditions. Upon receiving the news of the unknown radar contacts made, the F-24s there immdiately got ready. The veneable Ell-made F-24s, now serving as the only Omzian high-speed and altitude interceptor, is still useful. With several avionics modifications, they are essentially airborne SAM stations -- only they aren't SAMs. They've cored hits againsty Sniper Country F-14s during the Royal Palm Civil war, they will probably score hits again.

Upon the news, the pilots and RIOs (radar interception officers) got ready immediately. They are prepared to take off at any moment's notice, but also careful to not be baited to be shot down by enemy air defences of any kind. Just as they stepped into their aircraft, a first batch of 3 F-24s took off immediately for a general CAP mission, armed with 6 AERAAM long-range AAMs each -- designed for cruise missile and bomber-killing, just like its little brother, the AIM-54 Phoenix.

They now awaits for the start of a separate front -- the Hagras Strait front.

227th Task Force, Gulf of Hagras
0626 Tuesday

As the flagship crews of the ONCS Alarm received the confirmation message, they were quite happy. A quick meeting will be happening soon, just after they sent their second message.

Understood. We wonder if Rear Admiral Wilson Shire would like a quick meeting with Rear Admiral Gansa Janue, the commander of the temporatory 227th Task Force. He will arrive via a S-3B Viking aircraft from the carrier ONCS Glorious Sea. Waiting for reply and confirmation.

********

P-7A Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft, South of Hagras Gulf

The P-7A Poseidon has been flying in a rectangular pattern for a few hours, just after its refuel. Armed with 2 Harpoons, 4 Mk.46 lightweight torpedoes, and dropped over 120 sonobouys along the southern part of the Gulf (not far from the battle groups), they are the watchdog of the sea, in conjuction with a few Omzian S-3B Vikings and SH-60F Seahawks. Just incase any submarine would sneak in first, they would notify the fleet immediately, and fast.

The Air-support had pulled back to the BFAFB (Beach Front Air Force Base) and the UVC's and Aircraft Carriers. The BFAFB was more fortified now, in fear of bombing attacks. About 20 M-SAM-B's were there, + 12 Patriots-H's and with 2 Faam Guns just unloaded for defense, this place was pretty safe.

And actually, I did shoot anti-radiation missiles at the radars, then cripple the rest of the unit. It is all in the posts December 5 and December 1. CSJ's also launched some missiles at that I believe, and will bomb the entire runway with anti-runway bombs.

[OOC: The missile thing is being disputed, pause there. Also, any more responses to the air war? :P ]

IC:

Indeed, the Sniper Country transports are flying over the south of Iansuk Islands -- the bigger one, with a few military sites and two airfields. The Iansuk Islands was a beautiful sight. Mountains of forests covered the peaks of the islands, while the plains covered the rest. Small towns and counties resides on the island, almost separated from the mainland. Furtunately, they are still guarded -- although not that tight.

*******

Patriot PAC-3 Army Reserve Battery
South of Stanvaspo, Iansuk-Meana Island
0922

The Patriot battery -- suited for both ballistic missile and aircraft engagement, is one of the only air defence bubbles over the Iansuk Islands, along with an attachment of the Stanvaspo Airfield, with quite a few lightweight F/A-160 multirole aircraft. The whole Patriot battery, scattered over a plain, stood there for days since the war.

The 2 operators inside a command trailor, just on duty new air defense brigade officers who just took their shifts, looked at the command screen. They've just finished training, and were still unfamiliar with the weird circular display. Trying to operate it, they spotted something -- something, up above, flying just over Mach 1. With strict ROE, and the fear that they are allied ones, they did not engage. The radar screen did not show what they are, but in almost panic, they got a secure line with the air defense command there.

Contacts made with unknown aircraft, flying at medium-high altitude just over 1.0 mach. Identity unknown, seeking assistance. Over.

Being a bit embarassed to send this message, they continued to look at the screen, waiting. For something.

*******

Iansuk-Meana Air Defense Command
West of Stanvaspo
0923

God..., an officer looked at the transmission just prior to a lunch break. These dumbass new people in the Army.... Examining the report, he quickly informed the Air Force airfield -- he perfered Air Force over Army Air Defence. Certainly, they were no transports flying filed in the events schedule. They doubt that the planes was Smoke Jaguar or Remiesian property, since they would have contacted.

Contacts by Patriot PAC-3 made with unknown aircraft, flying at medium or high altitude near area. Identity undertermined. Requesting armed operation to intercept/examine aircraft. Over.

*******

Stanvaspo Airfirld
0934

Just a few minutes later, 4 F/A-160s immediately made it out of the tarmac. The pilots of these F/A-160s are on a special mission -- counterterrorism plane hijacking style. Armed with 4 Scorpions and 4 Cockatrices, they have enough munition incase the aircraft were something special -- a bomber, a transport, or something. The pilots were happy that they'd finally go onto an air operation.

Just as the sun shined over the small airfield and town nearby, the 4 jets immediately started their engines. Just as the jet blasts blasted out of the engines, they finally rolled off the runway. "All rolling, wheels up." Heading southwest, they would be navigating to the transports.

*******

1002

It is a "long trip". The pilots still didn't found it bored, as long as they get engagements, they are happy for their hunger of war. They liked their lightweight F/A-160s -- better than the old F-16Cs and F/A-2000s. Flying in a closed formation, they got closer and closer to the Sniper Country transports. Almost immediately, they linked the images to something similar. The NCTR (Non-Cooperative Target Recognition) systems on the radar made it a lot easier to identify targets. Just below the radar output, and between other radar data about speed ,range, and altitude, there it is: C130J. Another reads, C17A.

Almost immediately, they flied just shortly behind the transports -- with almost the same speed, same altitude. Finally, one voice broke the silence, as the lead opened up a radio channel and radioed one C-1 -- in Omzian.

"This is Omzian Air Force Multirole Fighter Squadron #337 Flying Spirits. Request identification. Failure to reply within 15 seconds will result in destruction of aircraft!"

With that message done, they repeated the same in English. They had complete visual contact, and already initated locks. If the enemy is going to try something "fishy", they would, instantly fire their guns, and eventually Scorpions at the transports. They finally started the counting. 15.
