occ: I didn’t see your reply Delfos, but I made a quick change to add your forces.
At noon, the Loyalist and Delfian forces from Base A moved southward to take out the rear of the Dysannian spearhead. They left the half of the newly arrived Delfian forces to defend Base A.
The rear was held weakly by sparse groups of enemy regulars and artillery batteries. While the rest of the Colonel Jerry’s men were busy slugging it out with the Llayndern defenses and UASS forces in front, the Loyalists and Delfians were free to take out this rear. Nevertheless, the regulars prove to be difficult, especially when they and their long range artillery were fortified in their makeshift bunkers.
“Fire Company, move out to take that machine gun nest!”
“Heng, give me a smoke grenade!”
“I see smoke, it’s the 155s!”
“We’ll leave the Delfians to that! Let the smoke fill!”
“Medic, I need a medic!”
“Mortar rounds away!”
“It’s filled, go! Zig zag pattern, keep pressure on him!”
…..
“Fire in the hole!”
BOOM
“Secure the nest!”
“All clear! I’m redeploying this HMG.”
“Medic! I need a Medic! Jen got shot! Fuck, someone get a Medic!”
“Delfian Medic Corps here! Where’s he shot?”
“I see three holes in his chest!”
“Alright I see them, Peter! Get me some morphine!”
The airspace over the Loyalist forces were cover by G-C naval squadrons and Loyalist planes from inland, keeping the air free of Dassie planes and destroying tanks before the Loyalist troops moved in. For the spare planes that does pass the air umbrella, Delfian air defense on the ground took it out.
Firebird Two: Enemy armour coming up!

--------------------------------------
“All clear, the tanks are blown! Move out!”
“Fire Company flank their position! We’ll cover you!”
“Bei, give them some cover fire with your 42!”
“I’m on it!”
“We got a cripple Challenger tranversing in the corpse field!”
“Someone hand me a RPG!”
“He’s aiming at us! Get down!”
BOOOOOOM
“Take him out of action!”
“Take this you fucker!”
VVVVSSSSSSHHHHHHH
“Hit!”
“He’s still in action! Walter, take his side! Everyone get out!”
“Get behind the dead tanks!!!”
BOOOOMMMMMM
“Medic!!! He got Bei!”
“Pick up the 42, get behind those fucking tanks!!!”
“Dassies! Infantry in our front!”
“Fuck!”
While Dassie armour and aircraft were taken care of easily by UASS planes, it still left a sizeable force of Dassie regular infantry for the Loyalist infantry to eradicate. The further they push through the Dysannian rear, they met with increasing amount of regulars. While the Dysannians held the advantage of equipment and numbers, they were tired out from their lightning spearhead attack on Llanydern’s east flank. Now, Colonel Jerry was squeeze between the northern Delfian and Loyalist forces lead by High Marshal Ei and the UASS forces in the south. In a matter of hours, they would crumble…
“Rain One, this is Division E, requesting an air strike on a Dassie pit! We can’t clear their MG defenses and field guns!”
“Division E, this is Rain One, all our birds are busy…you got a 30 minute spot…”
“Negative Rain One, I need to clear this pit quick, or my men can’t move in to cover Battalion A.”
“…I have a squadron of Crossfires being held back by HQ, but I’ll clear them…”
“I owe you Rain One, I’ll take care of the AA!”
…
“Pai! You and your crew redirect fire on these coordinates!!! We need to take care of some Triple As.”
“I’m on it!…Everyone transverse to bearing 124 and raise to 31 degrees! Smoke munitions on first volley, then switch to HE! Move it!”
…
“We got them!”
“Go Crossfires! Woah!!!”
“Quit cheering! We need to clear that pit!”
“Sai! Tell the 76s to hold their fire! We’re moving in!”
“Lieutenant! Tanks sighted!”
“Where? I can’t fucking believe this!”
“Wait! They’re ours! It’s the First Armour Division!”
“Heaven, that’s impossible! Sai, link me to the First Armour!!!”
“About time we landed some armour!”
From the Llanydern frontlines, the Loyalist’s First Armour Division and ten SID divisions finally arrived, adding 200 modern battle tanks, 100 BMP-3s and 50 000 men to the Loyalist forces. They led the counter attack on the Dysannian spearhead, follow closely behind by local Llanydern reservists. By dusk, the First Armour division met up with Marshal Ei’s Division, having crush the spear point of Dassie’s attempts to break into Llanydern’s western defense line.
“High Marshal Ei of Battalion A, it’s good to see you.”
“Marshal Jian of First Armour Division, great to finally be in the fight. You won’t believe how much bickering I did to get Anyia to mobilize us.”
“You seem to did pretty well in your first action…”
“the Llanies managed to hold on long enough for us to arrive, the Dassies broke almost 200 km into Llanydern before they were pushed back.”
“I heard their tanks were force to drive around looking for a way through the jungles, cause they couldn’t find any roads.”
“Haha, yes. Most of them ran out of fuel before they found a decent road to travel in. We pick up a lot of these “stallers” on the way here.”
“But how you get here?”
“There were roads through the jungle, but Llanies had them blockaded and defend like their lives depend on it. I heard 60 000 reserves alone held one of the road leading north.”
“You have to give it to the locals…”
…
“Marshal! Air recon report! The Dysannian reserves are moving from the north! 30 000 a least!
“Radio all the Divisions! Tell them to dig in and prepare for the worst!”
“Bloody dog, we’re gonna need reinforcements! I’ll move in my armour to their flanks.”
“Lieutenant! Get Air One and Air Two, Get them to bomb them to pieces!”
“Sir! We got 50 000 Llanydern reservists coming in from the south to reinforce us!”
“Good! We’ll need it!”
The Dysannians had been attempting to reinforce Colonel Jerry’s men ever since they detected the Loyalist movement on their rear, but Delfos’ own counterattack on their middle and east had preoccupy most of their reserves. It wasn’t till well into the afternoon that they manage to patch up a unit of regulars and conscripts to assist Colonel Jerry. By the time they reach the battle line, the Delfians, Loyalists and Llanies were well entrenched to face them. During the night, numerous firefight broke up in the moonless dark. Just before dawn, the Delfian forces at Base A manage to envelope the Dysannians from behind (after taking out a division send out to take Base A during the night). By morning, the Dysannian western front fell, and a doorway was open to Dysanni Ryazania.
