The East PacificBoard

As the enemy soldiers began to walk onto the farmlands, the rain pours down harder and harder, turning the farmland into a mudflat. This slows down the enemy and the defending soldiers fire on the enemy, hoping to demoralize them.

But why is the enemy throwing themselves at gunfire?

The thousands of soldiers with their tanks and light assault vehicles continue to advance through the 500m stretch of muddy farmlands. The Lieutenant of the defending platoon tries to contact the other cities' garrisons for support. However, they tell them they can handle them. Their 2 neighboring towns send troops and tanks to help. Reinforcements stay by the hillsides. The battle rages on as machineguns and artillery fire continued to batter both sides. Though taking heavy casualties, the enemy soldiers continue to advance. The Defense Complex sends out air and naval support, but it's not enough. There are now an additional 3,000 enemy soldiers on the beaches, with many more on their way. It seems this was their plan all along. Capture a small town and move on from there.

2 hours of fighting have passed and the defending platoon had to fall back to the hillsides after losing nearly 40% of their men. The Lieutenant meets with the other reinforcement platoons to reorganize. Time is against as the enemy soldiers continue to pursue them in the forest. The soldiers, men and women, tired, wounded, and low on ammo, are terribly demoralized. One of the sergeant ask if they should hold a siege, but their Lieutenant replied with "If they get past us, South Shihiro is f*cked. The city barracks aren't helping us so we're the only hope of stopping these guys from establishing a solid beachhead."

Another one of his sergeants, a woman, asked "So, what's your plan sir? Our soldiers barely have bullets, some have none."

The Lieutenant replied "Bayonets. The only way for the enemy to catch us is through climbing the hillside. We've pulled back like pulling back a fist for a punch. Let's deliver that punch."

The sergeants looked at each other before affirming the command.

"Tell the tanks and armored vehicles to go down the roads since that'll be the easiest way to get up the hills. Run over people if they have to. Tell the artillery to keep firing on the mudflats until there is no enemy to be seen," commanded the Lieutenant.

The sky was dark, the rain was pouring. Thunder and lightning filled the clouds. And with the sounds of thunder, a few hundred enemy soldiers begin to go up the hill from the mudflats while the rest secure the town. The defending soldiers readied themselves, knowing this could be their last days as a soldier. The Lieutenant looks at the approaching enemy raises his rifle, and just as lightning struck, he shouted with all his might,

"CHARGE!!!"

At that instant, the enemy soldiers panicked at the terrifying sight as men and women with weapons of steel and hearts of iron ran down the hill shouting a loud "Banzai!". A chaotic yet terrifying sight as the enemy soldiers fell back. The roads were much grim as the last thing some enemy soldiers saw was the front of a tank or the underside of a light assault vehicle.

The defending soldiers, after driving their bayonets into the bodies of some unfortunate souls, are now back at the mudflats where hand to hand combat ensued. The artillery decimated most of the enemy soldiers while the hand to hand combat was chaotic and difficult due to the mud. It was a hellish scene as the screams and shouts of war are drowned by artillery fire.
