//You too, of course. Please don't attack Coalition forces, thanks.

Just wear gas masks when I bring in the mainline army units.

gases? yikes. okay, give us a warning at least a week ahead of time, so we can ship in gas masks.

500 more Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are airlifted in to form up for an assault on Yamazil and to join the assault on Cilim.

Lethen forces storm Karbek and engage the terrorists. As paratroopers had no support equipment, it was all down to the quality of their equipment and their skill.

Prepared statement:

"Comrade, thank you for being forthright. We will now explain our side of the story.

We had reactionary peoples trying to worm their way into the revolutionary organization before. The traitors like Istiyar nearly destroyed the revolution for social equality inside the communist party itself by pursuing the path of parliamentarist vote-whoring. We took our party back to Marxism-Leninism and fought the sources of the reactionary culture, the city-dwellers, the Arab reactionary people with bad connections, the fake communist parties."

Now to write about military operations:

A copy of Allanea's evil plot to strangle the proletariat fell into our hands. Fortunately, comrades, they published it openly. To quote the enemy, they said they "will continue our operations in a surgical, precise manner," meaning a weakness to exploit. It only takes a few comrades to run thousands of class enemies out of towns, but we fear that might change when they start arming the urban parasites. We do not work in a "surgical, precise manner" toward the bourgeoisie and their lackeys, and the red terror is making lots of parasites flee the revolution and cause traffic jams, as well as tying up Diyaristani enemy soldiers.

Psyops targeting enemy reactionary peoples should focus on the fate of anyone who does not accept the revolution or fight the government. The wealth of the town and city parasites, which is great, will all be redistributed to the rural poor. Arabs in all places, capitalist landlords and bourgeois urbanists will be tortured since they will never join us, and this will make an example to other potential enemies.

A response by the Theocratic Republic of Christendom was fired off in less than 5 minutes later:
"Bend over and pull down your pants because you're just that screwed."
-Field Marshall Anne Gulliman

[Bruke]

The Royal Expeditionary Forces in Cilim and Yazamil are making slow but steady progress thanks to their air and artillery support, and the help of the Stormtroopers.

In Ghazghar as well, the REF is also making progress. Airpower and artillery are being used to destroy any visible Communists forces, weapons, and supply depots, while the troops on the ground go to work. They go through the the city methodically, going door to door, aiming to fully secure each neighborhood before moving on to the next one.

[Reorganisieren Reichregierung]

OOC: At this point, we should have a separate OOC thread. Also, can someone make a map, rough sketch or name exactly where the communists are, so I know exactly what other places (aside from the airport) to attack.

[Allanea]

OOC: Please just wait for Diyaristan. There's no point in producing all these oe-sentence post if we don't give him a chance to respond.

"You're saying the DCTs, who can't number more than 5,000 if you also count foreign PRF terrorists, managed to overrun FOUR CITIES?!?"

Over the camera, one of the refugees spoke. "For my testimony, this is what I witnessed in Karbek. First, they ordered everyone to evacuate without giving anyone enough time to pack their belongings. People who disobeyed were shot, more often dismembered with machetes, along with everyone in their household. Honestly, even for someone who's seen war on a virtually daily basis, what I saw was fucking scary.

"When some of my neighbors told me a "whole army" of DCTs were spotted approaching the city, I wanted out as fast as possible. Trouble was, the roads were jammed full of people trying to flee. I couldn't get out of my driveway. I went on foot. Our city was overcrowded with refugees as it was, and two people, I think, had been trampled to death trying to get out. You couldn't really look down because you would end up in the same place.

"It's one thing hearing about massacres of entire villages, men, women, children and all, or the WhoTube videos they upload of them torturing anybody they don't like. It's different when they're literally right at your doorstep, in the flesh. And they came, with their guns, propaganda trucks blaring.

""Out in the country, you will learn to work. We will build a paradise of plenty, we'll irrigate the land until it's all completely green." They said that so repetitively I can't get it out of my head. Out there, we had nothing to drink. They poisoned the city water so we couldn't go back. I watched people dying of thirst. I went three days without water myself at one point, at which point the only place to return to, realistically, was areas controlled by the terrorists.

"They arranged us into work groups. One family, which was found to have relatives of what they called reactionary culture, was dragged out before the camp. The small children were simply killed, their throats slit. The others, they were [DNSE: too graphic for republication. Contact us if you have a historical or prosecutorial interest in DCT human rights violations.]"

Report: Communist Party Central Directorate

The campaign to break the parasites was amazingly successful. Although we still haven't heard anything from PRF command about their intentions to join criticism and self-criticism, we do know that for certain they are fighting the Diyaristani imperialist puppets. We advise to ask one more time about ideology so we can know how much we're capable of operational coordination, and then let their emissary report back to his headquarters.

Imperialist and Wall Street puppet militaries are moving in on the cancers we just liberated. They number in the tens, maybe hundreds of thousands pushing against the revolution in all directions. 5,000 can't resist that no matter how true we are to the proletariat. But remember, history is on our side. We have the weapon of collectivism on our side.

The weapon of water poisoning backed by the collective mind and might of the revolutionary organization has caused four enemy cities to become depopulated, but the Party Center has ordered all our troops to not try and hold the cities even if they think they can beat ten times or more the number of corrupt individualists trying to recapture them, and instead merge into the fleeing crowds of parasites to infiltrate other cities and refugee camps of the class enemies so we are not found.

Military Report

We have noticed an uptick in the activity of the Hizbi Tawhidi in its attempts to revive its "caliphate". They are positioning themselves as supposed protectors of the Arabs from communist aggression and trying to radicalize them into thinking the government doesn't care about protecting them.

DCTs are unlikely, we find, to be deradicalized due to anyone left in its organization being part of its hard core, after a spate of defections. The best way we recommend to our allies and partners to stanch DCT recruitment activities and isolate it internationally, according to communist defectors, is to focus on the unusual role racism plays in its ranks.

We are far more alarmed about the threat that Hizbi Tawhidi might present, since they are gaining real popular support and openly advocate armed overthrow of democracy.

OOC: Please just wait for Diyaristan. There's no point in producing all these oe-sentence post if we don't give him a chance to respond.

OOC: Everyone now has the all-clear from me to not have to wait for my posts. I tend to like to adapt to situations anyway even if they outrun me. I spend hours writing this and think some autonomy in story steering is a good thing. Better that the thread reaches 10+ pages than activity get curbed for my sake, I figure.

Here's the new OOC thread. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=432942

[Lethen Empire]

The three paratrooper divisions split into many squadrons, and stormed house after house to check for communists, throwing grenades in houses they believed were occupied. Transport planes drop off supplies, infantry fighting vehicles, and even a few tanks in friendly Diyuristani territory, then move it in to assist the paratrooper divisions. The transport planes are escorted by fighter jets.

[Diyaristan]

The reds, however, have left little trace of themselves in Karbek. A few holding elements, some 50 people, help cover the escape of almost a thousand comrades in the deserted city. Each knows death is coming, but knows the revolution has been saved far worse casualties. They resolve to die like Revolutionary Heroes, making a stand behind enemy lines in the government center of Karbek, raising huge red flags for all of Letheny to see, the whole city eerily quiet except for the sounds of bullets and artillery.

DCT Total Strength: will be from 3,000 to 2,850 estimated if the Karbek government center is stormed. Estimated losses from search and destroy operations include another ~100 already.
(People's Revolutionary Front has an additional 2,000 members in the country by now, though they are not in Karbek.)

[Lethen Empire]

The Lethen paratroopers prepare to attack the building, readying their tanks and IFVs. The vehicles will be used to pepper the building with shells and preferably just collapse it rather than storming it - but first, the Lethens have to be careful about how they approach.

Lethen paratrooper strength: 3 divisions (30,000 to 45,000 men)
45 IFVs
12 MBTs

The RoC sends 10 Thunderbolt Fighters with cluster munitions and tear gas canisters to provide air cover for the Lethens. They will arrive in 4 days.

In the meantime, Battlefleet Retaliation holds over the city and commence light Lance Battery bombardment.

About two hundred kilometers South of Elevit

“Ground elements, this is Task Force Fire Pigeon, approaching target now. Please prepare to designate targets now, over.”

The strategic bombers were four in number, carrying drop tanks on their exterior wings to ease their transit to this area. Loaded in their bellies, however, was something much more useful than mere drop tanks.

“Ground elements, this is Pigeon Alpha, rain inbound to irrigate the fields, over.”

The bomb bay doors on the lead bomber opened, and the weapons flew free. As they fell forward, slick, thin winglets on the bombs opened like the blades of switchblade knives, and they swept forward, the winglets cutting through the air as the bombs flew towards the DCT positions around the airport. These bombs were tiny and precise – each less than a hundred kilos, and capable of hitting a moving truck or flying through an office building window, the Small Diameter Bombs were designed for the sole purpose of precision strikes.

That said, the strategic bombers carried lots of them – about fifty each. The ground shook as the bombs sped down towards the terrorist targets, the bombs hitting the ground like blows from a massive hammer.

In Anavokia

Meanwhile, the Allanean aid ships, enormous RORO transports, entered harbor in Anavokia. The vessels began to unload, and soon, the trucks and armored vehicles that were being brought in started being loaded on trains. It had been difficult, given the bad state of infrastructure in Anavokia, to rent trains, but the Allaneans had managed to secure some. The trucks would have to be driven across the country by local drivers, hopefully they would arrive safely to be handed over to Diyaristani troops.

With the security situation in Anavokia clearly very bad, the Allaneans were already beginning to study alternatives. From Allanea itself, an aircraft carrier battlegroup was departing already, and a larger force of ships and men was being prepared. A classified report also being prepared for sharing with the governments of Fuso and Bruke.

A message to our comrades in Diyaristan:

Please forgive us for our late reply. It was difficult for Comrade Mulugeta to send your message to us. The Brukean imperialists and their puppet regimes have hounded us relentlessly for many years, and now we rarely leave our hiding places in the hills. We stand with you in your fight against oppression because we too have been oppressed. We will join criticism and self-criticism. In fact, part of why we are helping you can be explained that way. We have corrected the errors of our ways, and have returned to orthodox Marxist-Leninist thought.

The people's movements in West America, including our own, have been unsuccessful due to petty personal rivalries and primitive nationalism. Sadly, many of our compatriots have since lost hope in the struggle and have instead turned to bourgeois democracy. Yet there are still valiant comrades like ourselves and Werkneh Mulugeta. He has inspired us to greatness, to cleanse ourselves of reactionary elements and rejoin the armed struggle. Thanks to him, we have finally realized that the success of the worker's revolution in our own country depends on the success of the struggle abroad.

We will be sending more men to join you soon, along with weapons and engineering equipment.

We only ask that you allow us to stand together fully and equally, as partners.

Long live the revolution in Bruke, Diyaristan, and all countries!

OOC: Note that this document is only being sent to the addressees that are listed on it outside Allanea, by diplomatic courier and in hardcopy. In other words, there is no meaningful way that DCT or other hostile forces could get their hands on it unless the players of Fuso or Bruke confirm their government is infiltrated by spies or have a leak to the media about it.

IC:

OPLAN Unsafe Haven

Addressees: Governments of the Empire of Fuso and Bruke ONLY

Encryption: Paper Copy ONLY

The Free Kingdom of Allanea wishes to note that it is the suspicion of our intelligence services that the DCT faction – and possibly the Islamist factions that are now arising elsewhere throughout Diyaristan – is being funded and armed by a hostile foreign actor. The obvious factor is Maoist militias operating within former DRLFN territory, where terror training camps and roving gangs of Maoist militiamen have long been known to exist. The Free Kingdom has hoped that this problem would be sorted out by Markion countries after their victory over DRLFN in the previous rounds of hostilities, however it is clear that it had not been, with many Markion states collapsing into disorder instead.

Military science teaches us that where a large lawless area exists and is controlled by insurgent forces, it is almost inevitably used by them to spread their activities – like a metastasizing cancerous tumor – to adjacent territory. Chemotherapy or surgery are the only true choices when a tumor like this, termed in intelligence lingo a ‘safe haven’ area for terrorists, is present.

Because the former DRLFN area is not part of Diyaristan, nor subjected to its sovereignty in any way, members of the antiterrorist coalition are not subjected in any way to the limitations of needing to seek the permission of Diyaristan’s government to operate there. Therefore, both a need and a diplomatic capability to engage Communist Terrorist forces in former DRLFN territory exists.

We have developed the following proposal for the use of our coalition partners, known also as OPLAN Unsafe Haven:

1. As stage A of this plan, coalition forces will arrive to a distance of about 300 kilometers (just under 190 miles) off the DRLFN shore. Because former DRLFN territory has no organized state or military, it does not have a naval force or a long-range radar capability to counter our presence there. Simultaneously, satellite and aerial IMINT will be gathered about CT and DCT forces there. The Free Kingdom will dedicate 2 CVBGs to this effort, and a CAPINTERN CVBG will deploy known as Task Force Markion. These are already on their way, having been originally activated earlier in this emergency.

2. Coalition naval assets and aircraft will commence a range of airstrikes and naval strikes against CT and DCT assets from the sea, destroying vehicle pools, training camps, weapons caches, and terrorist HVTs and HVPs. Decapitation strikes against known terrorist VIPs will also commence at this stage of Operation Unsafe Haven.

3. Coalition forces will proceed to launch counterterrorist operations deep within DRLFN territory, through the use of Long-Range Surveillance Units and Hunter-Killer Teams. These will carry out additional ground-based strikes against CT and DCT assets, as well as carrying out battle damage assessment of the effects of previous air attacks, and providing guidance and intelligence for additional air attacks to be carried out by coalition forces.

4. Should steps 1-3 of this OPLAN fail, coalition forces will proceed with a large-scale operation in former DRLFN, thus allowing for CT and DCT groups to be crushed between the ‘anvil’ of Coalition and Diyaristani forces on Diyaristan’s border, and the ‘hammer’ of mobile coalition forces. Alternately, the sea shore itself can act as the ‘anvil’.

We await your comments on this proposal.

[The Republic of Christiandom]

The 10 A-10s have arrived. 2 of them go off and perform a strafing run on Karbek.


Over Karbek...

The 2 A-10s cruised at low altitude, approaching Karbeck.

One radioed the other. "Sure looks quiet today, eh?"
"Yep."
At that moment AA fire commenced.
"You know what? Never mind."
They split up and began strafing everything in sight.
Buildings, AA guns, and infantry alike were brought down by 30mm shells and rockets.

A single insurgent went up to a rooftop and pointed his Stinger at an A-10.
"Not today, imperialist."
He fired.


The Stinger immediately locked on to one of the A-10s..
Defying all the countermeasures, it slammed into the Port engine, wrecking it, before it detonated, wounding the pilot .
The wrecked carcass of the A-10 spiraled down, before-disregarding all logic-"landing" without much further damage, while the pilot ejected(for all the good it would do him) while it's comrade circled around before leaving.

A message from the People's Christian Revolutionary Temple

To our comrades-in-arms in Dirystan:
We apologize for our late reply. Carrying out the war against the bourgeoisie heretics from the mountains and hills means a lag time in responses, although the recent installation of improved communications and encryptment equipment has improved it somewhat. Regardless, our hearts go out to you. We too have been oppressed for too long by the bourgeoisie worshippers of the false God, and we wish you luck in your venture against the capitalist oppressors. But-more than that-we wish to assist you in this venture.
As of now, we are sending some of our operatives, and heavy equipment to assist you. 50 men, to be exact, true to the faith and to the struggle against the capitalist oppressors, armed with AK-12s.
Our only price is that we stand together with you and our comrades in Bruke, united as one mighty force against the oppressors.
May the grace of God and Saint Marx, liberator of the oppressed, be upon you.
-Cardinal Fredrick Tellias
PS: We congratulate you on downing one of the Imperialist's planes.


OOC: This is essentially the RoC's communist insurgency.

As Anovakian infrastructure is in a poor state, and to avoid having to deploy forces just to guard convoys of equipment, it was decided to move materiel through Sevevill instead. Troops will be moved instead through Anovakia, with the necessary precautions, while those that can be airlifted will be, as several transport squadrons are planned to be deployed to Diyaristan.

In case of any difficulties, a slush fund called Konto 10 has been prepared. The ambassador at Sevevill, to discuss the passage of troops, and he has been given access to the assets of Konto 10, but only if negotiations start to falter.

A fighter-bomber wing, JG 54, equipped with F-35As, has arrived, along with a transport wing carrying it's personnel and ordnance, as well as a tanker squadron. The civilian-military delegation has arrived as well. The ambassador of the Reich in Diyaristan has notified the president about these events.

The number of intelligence agents in Diyaristan has increased, and observers from the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda have arrived. All these have arrived through civilian flights.

The Homefront

Reports from Diyaristan began flowing in, with some claiming that a jihadist group thought to be defeated is beginning to show signs of activity, and some suspicious activities on the part of a PMC. The Reichsnachrichtdienst has authorized another increase in intelligence personnel in Diyaristan, in addition to the current increase due to the necessity for more intelligence due to the deployment of combat forces. Aside from this, the reports state that medications are in short supply in Diyaristan - a good portion of military aid would be made up of medicines due to the findings of the report.
