18 The Fall of The Portsmouth city (2/2)
Eagle 6: ”It is a bunker, sir, should we destroy them?”
Lance: ”Eagle 2 here, sure.”
AWACS: ”All aircraft be advised, an unidentified flying object coming from the west.”
Eagle 1: ”Roger that, Heavycloud.'
The 3 F-15E head to that direction and dropped four GBU-28 bunker-buster and exploded it on impact. The tanker was having fun too shooting at the knight that tried to fight the enemy that can't be touched. Their horses were running in agony as their user fell down or splashed into a lump of mince meat.
The cannon from the 125mm cannon in the M1 Abrams penetrated every cover that they can find. Even one of the risk-taker ram a nobility carriage with the tank to kill a pirate that was hiding behind it. The APC was busy shooting its bushmaster cannon at the running pirates.
The battle was indeed the showcase of power, the mage was speechless looking at the dragon that they spell can't reach, the carriage that only gets angrier if you shot at it and the enemy that you can't see.
The Tank platoon was pushing to the nearest Soulisphate defense post and acted as a guard dog and waited there. The attack was successful, marked by the flag of Russia that was flown above the ruins of the manor.
The armored vehicles were sent to the port, and the destroyers and the cruisers were on full standby on after the attack in case the Soulisphate kingdom decided to send a counter-attack. The cruisers were docked at the port to rest the crew.
The F-15Cs were busy chasing the wyvern that was entering the airspace right after the marines had successfully captured the town. The wyvern that was ridden by the mage was shot down by the AIM-120 AMRAAM that was carried by the F-15C.
”Dima, we have successfully taken over the town,” Lance said as he did a subtle left bank while seeing the burning and smoking town. The civilians were wounded, and all of the supports from the Soulisphate kingdom was cut off.
”It's no time to rest now comrade, we have to rebuild this town,” Dima said to him. ”But yeah, the town had been liberated, time to do some communism and eliminate the nobility from power,” Dima said to him.
”Ok, all units, RTB, refuel with KC-130 at sector Charlie five,” Lance said as he banked his jet following the F-15C formation.
”Lance, I want to tell you that we had an airbase not so far from here. About 100 kilometers from here, the carrier strike group from the USS Ronald Reagan has found an island and built an airfield there. And also another good news that an oil rig has been put in about 200 kilometers from the island. So yeah, we are very lucky indeed,” Dima said.
”What? And you wait for me to capture the town to tell me this?” Lance replied as he banked his jet and split from his squadron.
Lance: ”To all planes, Eagle 2 requesting permission to separate from the eagle squadron.”
Eagle 1: ”Permission granted general.”
Lance and Dima's F-15E flew away from the formation and turned on the afterburner of the jets. The F-15 left the combat zone and the town that was burning to ash. Truly the Portsmouth had become second Iraq for the soldiers stationed there. Unless they could win the hearts and minds of the people, the region will just turn into another middle east where money was pouring like rainwater without a significant result that they wanted.
”Lance, what do you want to do with the town? Now the town is liberated, and you basically are the leader,” Dima asked him.
”I don't know, maybe we think about it later,” Lance said as the jet left the horizon and landed on the newly formed airbase on another island.
