Southern Flank War (Completed)

[Zorga]

In the Sea
The submarine blew into multiple pieces. The entire crew, went down with their ship having successfully completed their mission. Their bodies and debris floated to the surface.

Fort Zorga
After waiting a long period of time, the large reinforcement force arrived. All 20,000 troops and their respective equipment arrived. The troops at the base let out a huge cheer as the large force arrived. Large vehicles rolled by, filled with men and large supply crates full of all kind of goods from home. Trucks towed large trailers behind them, which contained various disassembled aircraft and loads of aircraft parts. After pulling through the gates, the troops immediately dismounted. They greeted their comrades who were already there by giving each other hugs and handshakes. Afterwards, they unloaded some of the crates. One crate held a bunch of CD's, band instruments, and gentlemen magazines. Soon, a band formed and started to play rock songs from the early 60's including the "Twist", "I get Around", "Tequila", and "La Bamba". As customary to Zorganese tradition, large jugs of Sweet Tea were passed around, in celebration of the main force arriving.

Above the City
The squadron closed in on the city. They broke formation, and all aircraft dived. They each targeted the factory and the surrounding military points of interest. They immediately fire every single bomb and Air-to-Ground Rocket they have at their respective targets. After their payloads were gone, the swiftly pulled back and reformed the formation. As before, they started to head back home.

The commander responded;

"We want to help you and your countrymen get true freedom and self-autonomy because your countrymen have been under harsh oppression from the northerners for many years. Besides, all of these imperialist countries want your lands to suck it dry of all of its resources. Well, we are here to stop that at all costs."

Local Separatist Commander: "You know….I personally am having a hard time believing you. We might look just like a bunch of dirty rebels, but our leadership has had experience in the political arena in the past and thus we did get acquainted with such things as the international laws and certain aspects of politics as a whole. So, the point that I’m trying to make here……"

The local separatist commander then let down his AK-47 rifle and started walking around, while talking.

Local Separatist Commander "Although we might view this place that we are currently at as the Socialist Republic of Southern Begnakia, we had not yet won our independence, which means that the international community still considers the Southern Flank as part of Baggnagia. And since you had sent your military forces here to fight against the government, this means that Zorga has officially invaded Baggnagia and thus your country has ultimately declared war on Baggnagia and all of its allies. If your country has decided to go on this outright suicide mission by declaring war on 20+ countries, it means that you have very valuable interests here. Now….rephrase your explanation of why you are here and tells us what Zorga is truly seeking here."

---

Meanwhile, the separatists were losing their grip over the north eastern parts of the region, as the Baggnagian Air Forces resumed their super aggressive bombing campaign of the insurgent positions in those areas. Although the separatists were observing the skies 24/7 and had even prepared intense anti-aircraft counter attack, the Baggnagian military had seemingly foreseen all of the enemy’s tricks and had specifically sent more advanced jets that were faster, less damageable and delivered much more powerful attacks. Although the separatists were able to shoot down some of those jets over the several week-long Baggnagian bombing campaign of the regional north east, the military superiority of the enemy army was still too overwhelming and thus the separatists ended up overpowered most of the times.

As the insurgents were getting their positions, military outposts, camps, weaponry warehouses, tech and other important subjects destroyed every day, the local armies were mostly left hopeless and forced to flee to other areas, where they ultimately perished anyway, as the Baggnagian bombing campaign was consuming the north east more and more every day, eventually spreading down south and ultimately carrying out a complete slow termination of the separatist army.

The commander was kinda of taken back, as he knew that they were insinuating something. He responded;

"Look, we were once part of Alorianistan and they wanted to get involved in this war. We are simply following that up because we are fed up watching you and your countrymen die. If you want your independence because you are different, then it should be given it to you. If you think we are here to imperialize you, you are wrong. We are here to help you. We got involved because we wanted to help you establish a state of your own, and hopefully become allies.

Even if it is a suicide mission, we will stand with you to finish the job successfully. Plus, if we are fighting about 20+ countries, then they are doing a pretty shitty job about killing us. Zorga alone just forced a nation to pull out of the conflict. We have repeatedly bombed enemy facilities, killing a bunch of them. We have also received word that the main force of the military force has arrived. Tomorrow, we will start land assaults on enemy positions, and simultaneously start intercepting these crippling bombing raids. We have also created a military factory, where we can produce military equipment for your forces."

Local Separatist Commander: "Allies you say? Well, I guess that kind of answers my question."

Suddenly the conversation was interrupted by a bomb that was dropped a mile to the north from the Mountains.

Local Separatist Commander: "It’s the Baggnagians. Their bombing campaign has spread out into these grounds as well. We must clear out of here."

[Alorixia]

Command Center Sigma, Southern Flank, 4 Miles out from Gacel(Gacelj or Gaceij? Not sure)

The Military in the area began doing patrols around the base, setting up Sentry Guns, AA Guns and Heavy Artillery as well as turrets. Ranger Squad Gamma were sent into enemy lines to do recon on the city of Gaceij(I'm just gonna assume it's that..) the 25 man squad loaded up into Raven military Speeders, before heading out toward the city. The Ravens were silent, making little to know noise when moving, so it should've been easy to sneak into enemy lines.
Meanwhile the soldiers at the command center were training, guarding, or just having a slight break around it. While the higher ups made plan for attack.
Fresh units arriving via Manta, all of them a mixture of types. Ares, Hades, Zeus, Paladin, Ranger or Recon, it was more of a melting pot of sorts. All coming with their respective armors and weapons.

Mountains
The commander looked around and agreed with the separatist commander. Before he parted with the man, he said;

"This machine and Caluche Bofers 40mm vehicle are now yours. With this machine you can build military equipment and use this vehicle to shoot down enemy planes. We are also giving you one of our helicopters with a gunship conversion kit. Captain Jack is the pilot of this chopper, and he will train your men how to use it. Now, keep in touch, you know who we are now, so send us tg so we can cooperate on military fronts. Good luck comrade, and may we see each other again."

He got aboard the other helicopter, with all of his men. The other equipment and the other chopper stood idling, waiting for orders from the separatists.

Fort Zorga
In the morning, the entire force awoke to the commander. He was speaking through a large megaphone. He ordered the base to be finished today, as he pointed to the huge pile of crates. The troops had breakfast and immediately went to work afterwards. However, the officer ordered that all air and artillery personnel to the briefing room. He ordered that all artillery fire on enemy positions as he pointed to a map. These are large troops contingents, and they are in range of our long range artillery. These will help ease pressure off of our allies. Then, the aircrews will scramble to intercept enemy bombers. You will be armed with only AA rockets. Since there will be no bombs, each aircraft will be armed with about 12 AA missiles and your respective cannons. There is some small escorts, but nothing too large. We should down the bombers easily.

After the artillery crews were briefed, they all manned their vehicles. The self-propelled artillery guns (~245) all fired off in a massive artillery barrage at enemy positions. They aim for supply depots, fuel depots, arms depots, and other artillery positions. The long range transporter erector launchers also fired off their big ballistic missiles at troop positions. They are not nuclear/chemical/or biologically tipped. They are just normal big missiles.

The bombing run was complete. The aircrews were happy that they struck a factory in a nearby city. However, they were immediately refueled, and rearmed to intercept enemy bombers. After they finished, the entire squadron of warthog aircraft took off, all armed with AA missiles.

[Alorixia]

Command Center Sigma

The Alorixian Military stationed there were surprised by the sudden bombardment from enemy bombers and artillery, but they reacted quickly. They began shelling enemy positions using DONAR Artillery Alignments, using the advanced kinetics to rain destruction down upon them.
The USS Jackson scrambling 15 FA-Haribon Fighters, 12 MOAR Hammer fighters, 6 Stealth Interceptors, 4 Strike Fighters, and 12 IFX Archers, they quickly tracked down the bombers. The groups split, the interceptors and the strike fighters looking to locate the fort, and the rest of the fighters looking for the bombers, tracking them. Soon coming into contact with the Warthog Aircraft, they fired upon them, using their heavy AA Guns and Incendiary Missiles on them, flying around them in an ouroborous like pattern.

On the ground, Ares and Paladin squads were released, all of them riding in military armored vehicles, tanks, or on speeders. 30,000 Units of Ares and Paladins. Anti-Material Tanks, Firewalkers Tanks, Vanguard tanks and Walker Artillery. Along with some Kobra Battle Mechs.
They moved in unison, following the path that they originally saw the bombers come from and the artillery fire come from.

[Zorga]

In the Air
After taking off from the base, the fighters went into formation. However, their radars were picking up a small area of dots. "Shit", said the air commander. This would force the Warthogs to engage the enemy aircraft, since they were closing in. After reforming into a fighter-formation, the squadron neared closer towards the circle of red dots. After a short minute, a pilot identified the unknowns enemy hostile aircraft. Immediately they broke formation and engaged the enemy aircraft. The pilots armed their missiles and fired them as soon as they got lock-ons. They also fired their powerful nose cannon at the enemy aircraft, hoping to blow them out of the sky.

On the Ground
After the ground radar picked up the enemy aircraft, long range SAM missiles were fired. The fort went on alert, and military troops were scrambled. The long range artillery continued to pound the enemy, however, the medium range missiles were also brought into firing position. They immediately joined in the chorus and started to bombard the incoming enemy forces. A force of 20,000 men were scrambled to the valley, to set up for a surprise ambush. They were going to attack the enemy with every weapon they had in the valley, and hopefully cripple the enemy forces. Once they were in the valley, the plan was to cut them off and pound the shit out of them with bombs and artillery until they surrendered. They were escorted by hundreds of tanks, tank destroyers, IFV's, and short range rocket artillery.

Some TEL launchers were ordered to load up chemical-tipped ballistic missiles. These will only be used in the case of the army's defeat in the valley. The military people in the valley are placing a huge amount of mines, both anti personnel and anti tank.

[Alorixia]

In the Air

Due to superior technolgy, the Fighters evaded most missile fire from the enemy, two Archer fighters getting shot down however.
The Group of MOAR Hammers went into a figure-8 flight pattern, surrounding the enemy Warthogs while firing at them with high velocity Cryo Missiles when ever they got a lock on, the IFX Archers using their high powered lower wing cannons to tear apart any plane that got within their line of fire. This was all done, while trying to dodge missiles from the SAMs on the ground.

On the Ground

The DONAR kinetic fire was picked up, bombarding enemy positions harder than before, causing great devastation to the landscape.
The Miltary convoy itself splitting off into two groups of 15,000. Taking two different paths to get to the fort. One the original path, the others through the mountains.
15 Manta Heavy Transports bringing in a groups of Rangers. Ranger squads Omega through Sigma. Each holding 25 people. As they flew toward the fort in silence.

[Zorga]

In the air
The dogfight was intense. Planes were going neck and neck with each other, firing their missiles and shooting their guns at each other. Even thought the enemy planes were slightly better when it came into technology, the Warthog outnumber the enemy aircraft 3 to 1. They continued to fire their missiles and cannons into the enemy planes. They also did figure 8 maneuvers and other fancy dogfight maneuvers/tricks. So far, only 7 planes have been downed out of the total squadron.

On the ground
The base continued to pound the enemy forces with relentless artillery bombardment. The sound was so loud, it vibrated the entire landscape. But, in the radar room, the screens were lighting up. The operators saw various blips on the screen wiz around. It was the dogfight a ways away from the base. The SAM sights also continued to fire at the large contingent of aircraft. A small squadron of 30 gunships took off from the airfield to strike enemy troops moving in on the battlefield. However, they are unaware that enemy transports are on the way. They are armed with bombs, Air to ground rockets, and some AA rockets as well for protection. Artillery rounds started to hit near the base. Although the enemy didn't know exactly where the base was, the artillery rounds were hitting around the general area. The base was put on high alert. the commander sent a telegram back to Zorga, requesting more reinforcements.

He got aboard the other helicopter, with all of his men. The other equipment and the other chopper stood idling, waiting for orders from the separatists.

The separatist battalion had split up into 2 teams. Team 1 immediately cleared out of the territory in the Zorgan-provided helicopter and headed for closest surviving separatist camp, while team 2 used the Caluche Bofers 40mm vehicle to engage the Baggnagian Air Force in battle, targeting their jets.

[Baggnagia]

Near the Mountains, Southern Baggnagia

As 6 Baggnagian jets were bombing the mountain area, they suddenly noticed a hostile vehicle on the ground trying to engage them in battle. As the enemy had fired its first shot into the sky, the Baggnagian bomber jets immediately maneuvered in a formation during which they started dropping bombs all at the same time, targeting the enemy vehicle. The ground was soon covered in explosions.

[Begnakia Southern Flank]

Near the Mountains, Southern Baggnagia

The combined bombing of several enemy jets has completely destroyed the Caluche Bofers 40mm vehicle killing the entire battalion. The separatists had lost a very valuable piece of military equipment due to their unprofessionalism and lack of strategy. Now, the only force to withstand the Baggnagian Air Forces in the area are other nearby ground battalions.

[Baggnagia]

Near the Mountains, Southern Baggnagia

After bombing the enemy vehicle, the 6 Baggnagian bomber jets moved on with striking other separatist forces in the area, as well as nearby territories. The jets were also searching for other nearby Air Force battalions in order to merge and form stronger forces.

[Zorga]

Reinforcements will be arriving soon. This time, a large number of military equipment will be brought over, and given to the Separatists including;

Heavy trucks, Tanks, Tank Destroyers, Helicopters, Warthog Aircraft, SAMS, Mobile SAM Vehicles, Caluche Mk1 Battle Transporters, Caluche Mk1 40mm AA Vehicle, Caluche Mk2 Rocket Artillery, Caluche Mk2 SAM Artillery, Battle Rifles, Machine Guns, Grenades, Mines, Medicine, Food, Spare parts, and lots of other items as well. This reinforcement will bring mostly equipment to the separatists, but a large number of Zorganese troops and their equipment will also be arriving.

Plans to initiate a temporary cease-fire have come up in Zorga. If things go badly, then this plan will be initiated.

[Begnakia Southern Flank]

Unknown Location, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

Telkevich was discussing further separatist battle plans with his advisors in a dark room. Suddenly, their session was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Telkevich: "Come in…"

The door opened and one of the separatist communications tech specialists came inside the room.

Communications Tech Specialist: "Sir, we have bad news."

Telkevich: "What is it? "

Communications Tech Specialist: "Sir, we have received reports that we have approximately less than a 1,000 troops left in the field overall. Even if we manage to survive further attacks and win battles, we don’t nearly have enough men to hold even a half of the Southern Flank under our control."

Telkevich then lit up another cigarette.

Telkevich: "That is really, really bad. Do we have any other options? "

Communications Tech Specialist: "Well, sir, our final hope to somehow magically win this war is the intense support of Zorga. We had received reports that they are continuing their deployment to the Flank and will be bringing in additional reinforcements, weapons and tech pretty soon."

Telkevich: "Well…(sigh)….at least we have that. Let’s make the best of what we have here. Since we have very limited numbers left in comparison to the enemy, we will have to fight to the fullest, until each and every one of us is dead."

Communications Tech Specialist: "Sir, should we contact the government of Zorga requesting for more support? "

Telkevich: "No. You’ve said that they are bringing in fresh forces pretty soon, so let them continue doing that. We have other matters to attend to, such as creating new tactics. So if you were to be as kind as to get out of here, we would continue. Do you mean? "

Communications Tech Specialist: "No, sir, I’ll leave."

Telkevich: "Good. Get out of here."

As the Communications Tech Specialist left the room and was getting back to his duties, Telkevich resumed developing battle tactics along with his advisors.

[Baggnagia]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

After a long time of fighting, the war-torn north east of the region was on the brink of falling back under the Baggnagian control. The overwhelmed and outnumbered separatist army was almost overpowered and pushed out of territory by the Baggnagian military. Although the army believed that the separatists could be defeated via a series of ground battles, insurance for that was required and thus an Air Force was called in to bomb the separatist positions to weaken them even more.

[Begnakia Southern Flank]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

The left over number of the separatist troops were doing everything they can to survive. They used the left over tech to have a technological advantage against the Baggnagian army in the field. Although the ground forces were the primary force battling the enemy army on the frontline, surviving tanks and missile batteries kept being brought in as heavy artillery.

[Baggnagia]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

The Baggnagian military was attempting to surround the enemy positions and push them back south, attempting to make the enemy leave the territory. However, the enemy forces seemed not to wish to pull back and thus the Baggnagian military was forced to attempt to completely terminate the local forces, making their presence in the area extinct.

[Begnakia Southern Flank]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

The separatists were targeting the incoming enemy forces with missile batteries, firing showers of missiles onto the enemy positions. As this was being done, tanks took over the heavy assault, while troops armed with AK-47 rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and rocket launchers reinforced the heavy military vehicles.

[Baggnagia]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

As the enemy tanks and missile batteries were causing trouble to the Baggnagian military, the ground forces called in for air support. The enemy war machines were immediately getting bombarded and ravaged by air strikes from the Baggnagian Air Force, while the jets were receiving cover from the ground.

[Begnakia Southern Flank]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

As they were getting bombarded, the separatists started targeting the enemy jets with AA guns and rocket launchers, while also directed several missile batteries to join in on the assault. All units operating anti-aircraft fire were intensely firing at the Baggnagian jets.

[Baggnagia]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

The Baggnagian Air Force was receiving active back up from the ground. The Baggnagian military was powerfully firing at the incoming enemy ground forces with all might, making sure that they do not deliver a single AA shot at the jets. As the enemy ground forces were left to defend themselves from the assault, the bomber and attack jets were left to once again freely drop bombs and launch massive air offensives onto the enemy military.

[Begnakia Southern Flank]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

The separatists were losing the battle completely. The tanks had been severely damaged, while the missile batteries were almost entirely destroyed. The soldiers were left to almost entirely carry the battle on their own, however, that was a hopeless situation as well, as the insurgents were almost entirely out of ammo, as well as exhausted and heavily injured. This made them a completely helpless prey for the Baggnagian military.

[Baggnagia]

Battle of the North East, Southern Flank, Southern Baggnagia

Seeing how the separatists were almost entirely defeated, the Baggnagian army was doubting wheter or not should they move in for a kill of something completely helpless. However, the soldiers had their orders and thus they were to make sure that no terrorists are let go without punishment. Although the soldiers were determined to kill all the separatists, they were ready to take POWs, should any of them agree to surrender.
