Hamburg, Nitom-controlled Gibet
The four Legions were now in control of the north, south, east and west parts of the city. The First Legion had continued their artillery bombardment on the city, letting the LY300's outside the city take a rest to restock on their ammunition as a logistical train arrived to restock the Expeditionary Force. General Lynch had ordered the Legions to do perform what he called a pressure move where each direction of th city would be assaulted and taken and then the Legions would move inward, slowly and killing any hostile force in their path. He had also sent in the 68th Gormar Medical Corp to evacuate Gibetan citizens in the liberated parts of the city and move them to the Itailian FOB back at the Gibetan city of Bitten.
As for the rumors of Nitom surrendering, Lynch had been given specific orders not to end his attack unless asked by Britannia or her allies or if Nitom surrenders to the Coalition or the Empire directly.
