While the armored convoy was on its way to the capital city of Dataset, they we ambushed by militias of the Kata clan.
"Firebird to command, do you read me? I repeat, Firebird to command do you read me?" one of the communication controllers said while trying to reach command back in Kyeswa.
"I hear you firebird, what is the situation?" commanding officer Williams asked the man
"We have been ambushed, as far as I know we have one confirmed casualty and 15 more wounded. 3 of them are reds1, 7 blues1 and 5 greens1.
There are so many of them
"What are your coordinates? I will send air support and air extraction." Admiral Williams asked
"I don't know sir, but I will send a map of our location now." the soldier said
"Okay, I have received the map, I will send support soon, I will keep the communication open." Admiral Williams said
Planes were being prepared on the carriers and helicopters in the nearest friendly base.
The soldiers were fighting for a bitter 15 minutes until air support arrived. And another 35 minutes before the wounded could be extracted.
The fight was over and the convoy continues their trip. The rebels suffered 21 deadly casualties and the allied forces suffered a total of 3 deadly casualties. The troops now experienced that the combination of a harsh climate, a tough terrain and determined opponents will make this conflict one that will be hard to win.
1: reds are wounded soldiers in critical condition, blues are heavy wounded soldiers, but not life threatening and greens are soldiers with minor injuries.
