Confederate Mechanized Assault

Share

Estal and Erebus were flashpoints of the Confederate-Pact war. The Pact, having few agricultural hubs was keen on ensuring their safety, and the confederates were keen on eliminating them. Armies run on their stomachs. Each of the two systems were central hubs of their regional Pact system grouping as well. Without Estal or Erebus, the 'Southern' two spheres of influence the Pact had in sector 4 would be lost.


The Pact, was entirely aware of this. Thei navy was prepared for sieges and blockades, with a thorough amount of fast corvettes completely rebuilt for supply runs to break blockades. Asteroid belts had been prepared with missile systems to ambush any CSCN naval forces that thought hiding in or traveling nearby them would be wise, and the majority of the Pact navy stood ready to defend these systems. Planetside, instead of attempting to protect the entire planet, the Pact just allowed the confederates space to land, and focused on pinning CSCN forces in on their landing sites with quick reaction forces. They would not allow themselves to fall.

Their LAV/APC had taken a hit from several incoming rockets now, shrugging off the first two. The thing kept powering through as the soldiers inside stayed latched in their safety harnesses in case of a roll-over.


"Fuck!" One of the men shouted as the third rocket round collided with the front of their transport, as the lights inside flickered. "We're gonna fucking die!"


Many of the others, though silently agreeing, just clutched the handrails, some closing their eyes and clenching their teeth as the engines roared. The muffled thunder of explosions outside rocked their vehicle, as mortar fire pounded craters into the wheat field they were crossing. Silent prayers and bouncing knees as the infantry inside attempted to steel their nerves.


A fourth rocket struck the LAV/APC, but this time the engine shrieked as holes punched through the drivers compartment from the shrapnel, followed by belching flames from the ingited engine as the vehicle steadily came to a crawl and stop


"OUT OUT OUT!!!!" the sergeant yelled, slamming his fist against the door locking button, as the door automatically released and flung open.


As the door opened, the sounds of muffled thunder ended and they were exposed fully to the noise that was kept from them inside that metal box. Machinegun fire and shells pounded all around them, as the resolve that all the men once had vanished with the realization they were now standed in the open. Their only protection a burning vehicle, and nowhere to run to. Bullets flew all around them as the tracers were visible. They were trapped in an ocean of wheat with a powderkeg as their only safety.
