The OFS Kestrel appears from the horizon, blocking out the sun from both the allies and invaders warship. As the massive size of the aircraft carrier outsizes the regular ones matching the Nimitz and Kuzentovs. The might of the Osean Fleet would then be revealed with the Kestrel's simultaneous launch of F-18A/FE multirole fighters to the sky, and half the squadrons launched took a suicidal run towards the Capilean's artillery pieces. The artillery positions were mostly bombed, wiped out from the combined firepower of the GAU-8/17 rounds and the Sky-88 Missiles. Any bold F-18 Pilots that were still up there on the skies continued their simple, but deadly task, to support the ground forces. With the F-18 Hornets joining up with the far, more air superior Atarashians, they combined their strength together with theirs to make close bombing runs against the enemy AA positions. As the speed of these heavily modified F-18 Super Hornets outmatches those standard, gatling AAs. The Carrier soon sortied out the CFA-44 Nosferatus, a far more superior aircraft in Osea's inventory.
The seas around the city and close to it were almost left with no holes. The Osean Arleigh Burke Guided Missile Destroyers used Sea Sparrows and Patriot Defense Systems to intercept enemy missiles. With almost every of the enemy missiles were successfully intercepted, and a lucky Destroyer managed to push stern side to avoid getting a direct hit on the hull. VLS Systems were automatically launched, as they rain down on the enemy Capilean and Axiom warships nearby. The Osean Assault Carriers, the OFS Nosfegard and Lacson launched F-35s to provide naval and air support for the present Atarashian, Osean and Pillowlandian warships nearby.

<< Roger that. Alright, let's get the basics out of the windshield and go with the expert! Right axis! Full power flight! >>
As the F-18 and CFA-44 Squadrons take their flight of the fight, comes with the reinforcement of the current Pillowlandian and Atarashian troops on the city beaches. Seeing that the enemy is using kamikaze tactics, the Oseans take both range and close combat quite seriously. The Osean Marines were first deployed from the LSDs, AAVs and LCACs. Some of the LCACs were gunned down as a result of a still present enemy artillery, but pushed on to remain a clear command. With the Osean Command Structure stable, and organized from the OFS Kestrel and two other Assault Carriers, management of each companies deployed went well. With both newbies and veterans on the Marine Corps able to take their shit together, gunning down those who wanna be heroes on the beaches, and assisting the wounded on both their own batch and allies. Some UH-60 Helicopters take their landing on the beach to deploy the more edgy demolition squads from the 8th Marine Battalion, and M1A2 Abrams tanks were being unloaded from the LCACs, as the drivers went full throttle to get ahead of the battle. With each squads from the 9th and 15th Marine Battalions using the tank as cover from enemy MGs, and marksmen from afar gunning down enemy RPGs.

<< Perimeter established on the beach! Get the 35th and 42nd Marine Battalions on the front! Don't let them squash the Atarashians! >>
All a while, the full push within the city was to continue helping the Atarashian Ground Forces, which are already present in the city. The Osean 35th Marine Battalion pushes on with the M1A2s and LAVs, giving clear markings of the enemy positions within the buildings, and pummeling them down with the 120mm smoothbore cannons. If that wasn't enough, marksmen from each marine squadrons coordinated with the F-18s on the sky to bomb down enemy positions cornered or garrisoned in the buildings. The destructive blow of the GA-15 Bunker Busters leaves a deadly aftermath for the enemy infantry there. It was then the skies were filled with a rattling annoyance of enemy rocket launchers and javelins when a fleet of Osean UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters deployed the marines on the rooftop, and some on the streets to gain an early advantage over the enemy.
Capilean Positions, near to Claystone City87th Air Group, 49th Marine BrigadeEnemy artillery seems to be a problem, and there was one simple solution. While enemy AA is strong within the area, it doesn't seem to be a problem that the President authorized something that people are not comfortable of. But they agreed regardless.
To ensure the massive Pillowlandian Navy survives as well as the current AFR fleets stationed with them, eight squadrons from the 87th Air Group and an encroaching number of cargo planes having their hatches open for a paradrop. The bomber squadrons were first to be seen from the skies. Sure, they expected the enemy anti-air firing at them to avoid any unneccessary risks on their positions, but that was exactly what they needed. B5R-A Continental Class Bombers made from Atarashi. Their extreme size is a physical advantage, but the speed and reduction range from enemy radar makes them a necessary use of surprise. Few unlucky B5Rs would be damaged, and two of them were shot down from the skies. But all of the bombers dropped their conventional munitions down to the enemy positions. Destroying everything within their flight path and what seemed to be ground zero for everyone else. Those artillery tanks and pieces would be crumbled, shattered and nothing left to be salvaged for a re-use of their losses. The bombing run continued on due to the large capacity the B5Rs can hold, and it ended as soon as the 356th Tactical Fighter Squadron confirmed that there were only a
"few religious green toasters left alive." This responsibility falls to the 49th Marine Brigade.

<< Copy that General. All Marine Battalions, Thrust Eighty-Four unit. Fixate positions and regroup, proceed with the attack with standard tactics. Leave heavy roles to the vehicles and light and defense roles to the infantry, break. >>

The 49th Marine Brigade entered to the weakened enemy positions by using both air and naval drop and deployment. Several LCACs make their landing on the beaches close to Claystone with MBTs, Self-Propelled Howitzers and a quarter hive of M2 Bradley carrying Osean Marines. The Osean Marines from the air take their drop to the ground from the C-5 and C-17 cargo planes from the skies, and make a quick regroup with the rest of their individual squads with a capable structure command coordinated by an Osean AWACS above air range of combat. With that settled, the 49th Marine Brigade close and at Claystone City's beaches make up the fight against the Capileans and the Erusean Army, with more reinforcements coming in from the second Osean Battlegroup should the enemy bother looking far, and when they try to plan an attack on their arrival, they could only fail with the escorts launching VLS Missiles from the distance.
