All is peaceful in the coastal town of Hashigahara. Well, except for the heightened military activity near a defense complex on the outskirts of the town. But, things seemed to be normal. The students are going back home or to the places where they hang out, the farmers are working the land, the cars and trains pass by as normal.

There was a young couple sitting on the beachside, probably taking a rest. As they stand up, the guy noticed something strange coming up on the horizon. It looked like two ships. Then it became four. Then sixteen. Then to their horror, as his girlfriend grabbed her binoculars and took a closer look at the ships, there were about 65 ships, all bearing the flag of the PRS. And they're coming straight for the town. The couple ran back to the town. As they were about to leave the hillside, the defense complex already began to evacuate the town and took positions along the beach. The ships responded by, well, shooting a shell at the line of soldiers at the beach. Unfortunately, it missed and damaged some farmlands and residential buildings. Things were going to get messy.

As the rain began to pour and the ships got closer, defenses mercilessly fired on every landing craft that attempted land on the beach. The nearby towns and cities have been warned and their garrisons have been deployed to defend the beaches. But even with high casualties, the enemy continued sending wave after wave. It soon came that the third wave of up to 3,000 soldiers landed on the beach of Hashigahara and began engaging with the few hundred soldiers behind the dunes. Machine gun fire and artillery couldn't stop the enemy soldiers from coming. The 3,000 became 5,000 as more of them were approaching the line. The situation looked dire as they inched closer. The Lieutenant of the platoon, not losing any confidence, had an idea. He moved the soldiers back behind the farmlands, with the artillery on the hillsides, and waited for the enemy to cross the farmlands.
