Chapter 33: Combat 1
A Chinese satellite tracks a fleet of aircraft carriers launching helicopters and VTOLs to invade the city. A TV station is pinpointed in the middle of the city.
The helicopters begin to take off as a female Chinese voice spoked via comms. "Outlaw, this is Deadly. Refueled and fully loaded."
"Roger that." A male American voice replied, possibly Outlaw. "Bachelor Two-Seven, let's get those Abrams to the front."
The camera shifted from the fleet into a coastal town nearby. "Soldiers and Devil Dogs! Spotters have a possible fix on Al-Hassan in a building at the west end of this town." Ryan's voice spoked on comms.
The satellite then pinpoints the target building that Al-Hassan was assumed to be hiding there, along with two blocking positions down the roads.
"We're gonna secure the perimeter and grab Al-Hassan. Can I get a 'Oorah' and 'Hoorah'?" Ryan said as a lot 'OORAH!!/HOORAH!!' was heard in the comms channel, "Lock and load, troopers! We killin' today!"
The satellite tracks Sgt. Helena Wilson of the USMC, 1st Force Recon in one of the VTOLs.
She is doing a checkup on her gun carrying as the UNE task force of Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers invading the city to capture Al-Hassan. Offshore oil platforms are seen in the distance as the fleet of aircraft pass them and approach the shoreline.
"Shore line coming into view." One of the helicopter pilots named Striker Six-Four said.
"Copy, Striker Six-Four." Deadly voice replied.
"Feet dry in ten seconds." Striker Six-Four added.
"Copy."
As they approach the docks and the city, gunfire and RPG fire attempt to shoot down the choppers and VTOLs but to no avail.
"Taking fire here." Striker six-four said.
"Roger that. We've got RPGs down there." Deadly replied.
"What a waste of the ammunition." Helena stated, shaking her head.
"They're probably hitting us with everything they have." A Ukrainian Marine agreed with her.
More RPGs and machine gun fire attempt to shoot them down, but of course it did no effect.
The Task Force continued flying over the city while still being shot at. Then Helena's VTOL went pass a pickup truck with a machine gun as the latter was firing at it. Of course it too did no effect.
The aircrafts went far to the city, passing by more taller buildings. More RPGs were fired from the soldiers, one of them almost hitting Striker Six-four. "Shit that was close!" He exclaimed.
"Got a visual on the target." Deadly said as the Task Force made it to the designated area they were dropping by, with the building that they assumed Al-Hassan was hiding in it.
The aircrafts then spread out and stopped in different spots of the area. "Five seconds." Striker six-four said. After five seconds he spoke up again. "Standby for green light." Then the light inside of the VTOL went on, prompting the Troops to go.
"Down the ropes, go, go!" Ryan ordered as Helena looked to the Ukrainian Marine beside her. The brown haired green eyed man dropped the rope as he rappel down with Helena joining him followed by Ryan and another marine rappelling from the other side.
"Go! Go! Go!" The Ukrainian said as they all reached the ground.
As they landed, the troops rushed in to the streets and heading towards the target building.
"Second squad on me to the target building, move!" Ryan said as he along with a few other marines turned left. Helena could see the rest of the marines and soldiers pulling out some barbed wire across the main road.
"Move it! Move it!" A marine said.
"Set up the blocking positions. Let's go!" Another marine followed.
Helena then went to the left alley, catching up with Ryan and the other marines to the target building. They then reach another main road where they could see the building up close.
"There's the target building. Left side door breach. Stack up!" Ryan said as he, Helena, and the squad of UNE marines prepare to breach the door. Helena looked over to the main road as a squad of Soldiers are stacking up to the other door.
Some helicopters and VTOLs are leaving the area, with a few of them surrounding the city.
Helena and Ryan then stack up to the door with the Ukrainian marine accompanying them - in which Helena notice that his name is Massey.
The latter then went over to the doorknob and placed a breaching charge at it while Ryan gave him a nod. As Massey returned to his position, Ryan spoke up. "Blow the charge."
Massey then activate the detonator as the charge explode the door. "Breaching Breaching!" He shouted.
"Go go go!" Ryan followed.
Both of them entered the room where there were two of Al-Hassan's men in it. Since they were caught off guard from the explosion, Massey and Ryan manage to kill them with ease.
"Clear!" Massey said. Helena joined in to the room as she saw the bodies of Al-Hassan's men now dead. Another explosion was heard outside, implying that the Soldiers from the second door has breached in to the building.
Helena, Ryan, and Massey then head over to a set of stairs that leads to the basement. "Wilson, take point." Ryan ordered.
"Right ya!" Helena responded. She went down to the basement with her rifle ready. When she reached the door, she saw a few of Al-Hassan's men by a table.
She opened fire, managing to kill two of the men while the others flee to cover. She then walked in to the room as Ryan and Massey followed her.
By the table, Helena could see there were dozens of guns and equipment that Al-Hassan's men were using. The guns were in different variety - ranging from Assault rifles to rocket launchers.
She let out a whistle. "They are armed to the teeth."
Ryan was seen moving up to a set of crates as he exchange fire to more of Al-Hassan's men. Helena assisted him as she take out one of them.
As Helena move forward to the next area, she was suddenly hit by a stray bullet to the shoulder. She quickly turned to the direction as there were two more of Al-Hassan's men by a room she missed.
Seeing this, Massey took action and killed one of them as Helena sprayed her rifle to the other one, making his blood splattering to the wall.
"Good thing those guys have shitty aim, otherwise I would've been dead." Helena commented as a healing stim activated on her Mark I Exo-suit.
She, Ryan, and Massey then move up to a few doors that lead to another room filled with various crates. "Wilson, throw a flashbang." Ryan ordered, knowing that Al-Hassan's men were waiting for them with guns raising. Massey was then seen switching to his shotgun.
Helena nodded and threw a flashbang in to the room. "Nine Banger!" She shouted.
It exploded as her and Ryan move in and kill the blinded enemies, where as Massey decides to go to the second room. Helena could hear Massey's shotgun blast, implying that there was lone hostile in that area.
Helena and Ryan move up behind the crates while engaging any of the remaining hostiles. The former went to the corner and spot a hostile with a shotgun. She quickly sprayed him before he even got a shot. The Hispanic-American then turned to the corner and saw three more hostiles. She fired her rifle again but suddenly she was out of ammo. Quickly, she took out her sidearm - the M145 .45acp pistol, and kill two of the hostiles.
The last hostile was about to fire at her before he was shot to the back by the second squad of Soldiers which had entered from the door behind.
Another shotgun blast was heard as the last enemy in this building was seen flying out of the second room, their body riddled with holes from Massey's 12g shotgun.
As the coast is now clear of hostiles, Ryan spoke up. "All callsigns, check the bodies. We need a positive ID on Al-Hassan."
The marines and soldiers start to check the bodies, but none of them are Al-Hassan.
"Negative ID over here, sir." Massey said after checking out a body.
Helena replied. "No sign of Al-Hassan here, sir."
Ryan then went to the radio to inform command. "HQ, this is Wildcard. Target building is secure but we don't have Khalid al-Hassan, over." He waited a few seconds before responding. "Roger that HQ. Out."
"New objective?" A Russian soldier asked Helena.
"Seems like it."
"Assuming that Al-Hassan is in another building?" A British Royal Marine said.
Ryan then turned to the troops. "Heads up! I just got word that Khalid al-Hassan is broadcasting half a click east of here at a TV station. We're gonna move out on foot and take down the package there. Move out!"
"I don't think he's gonna be there as well." A German Marine stated.
"How could you tell?" A Polish soldier asked.
"Only an idiot would broadcast a message when they're in the middle of a battlefield, even if you're an HVT."
"Do you think it's probably bait?" Helena asked.
"Seems so, probably."
With that, Helena, Ryan, Massey, and all the marines and soldiers exited the building through the stairs. They then walk out from the second door as Helena could see two dead soldiers.
They all then make their way to the main road where they could hear gunfire, assuming that the UNE Task Force are now engaging with the bulk of Al-Hassan's men in the city. As they are heading over to the main road, a few fighter jets were seen flying above the city. Due to the aircraft not attacking the troops' position, means that they belong to UNE.
The troops continued on as they reached the main road of where the blocking positions were. When Helena made it, gunfire was everywhere in the main street, both from the UNE and Al-Hassan's forces.
The barbed wire weren't there blocking the path anymore as their objective is now to get to the radio station. But first they had to take care of the enemy forces blocking their way.
Ryan's squad then joined in to help their fellow troops against the OpFors(Al-Hassan's forces). Helena opened fire at the OpFors by the main road. She saw that there were already several dead bodies of them from the Task Force.
She then shift her aim right to an alleyway where Massey was taking cover behind a car with at least three OpFor soldiers ahead. She aimed her rifle and shot two of them to their heads. Massey peeked out of his cover and kill the last one. He turned to Helena and thanked her with a nod before moving towards the alley with two more Marines.
Helena decides to push down the main road since Massey had the right area covered. She then saw Ryan in a close combat fight with one of the OpFors. The late 40s, 5ft tall, man manage to overpower him by grabbing the arm and slam him to the ground. Ryan finished it by stomping his head twice.
Ryan, Helena, and a few others begin to push to the main road. Various OpFor soldiers were seen firing at them on the second floor of the buildings, but the UNE took them out with ease.
"Friendly reinforcements comin' up." Called out a French Soldier. Helena look back as two squads of Marines had arrived to assist them. Seeing that the Main road was being covered, she decides to go right to where Massey was, see if she could flank the OpFors from there.
When she arrived, she saw that there were some metal bars that was built in like some sort of house. Helena then saw Massey by the metal structure. The two Marines that were with him got killed so it was just him. Seeing that he needs help again, she joined in the fight.
She glanced to the other side of the structure and saw that there were about ten OpFor soldiers firing at her and Massey. She went back to cover and thought that this a good time to use her grenades. She then took out one of her HE frags - cooking it for a few seconds, before throwing it to the OpFor group.
Unknown to her, Massey had also threw one of his grenades to the group. They then heard two explosions from each of their grenades as Helena look back and saw that six of them were already dead. She glanced to Massey as he give her a nod before both of them went out of their covers and took out the surviving OpFors.
Helena looked to her left as two more Marines came to assist them from the main road. Ryan was also seen in the distance, pushing forward with several more marines. She and Massey move up to the street while managing to kill two more OpFor that rushed to them like total idiots.
They then reached the end of the street where a wall stood in front of them. As they were about to leave, one of the marines that were with them was shot dead. "Man down!" Massey exclaimed as they immediately search to where the gunfire came from. Helena then heard it coming from the second floor of the building near them while looking up at it.
Knowing that there are still more enemies, she, Massey, and the other marine went in the structure to take them out. Massey stopped by the stairs as the other Marine went up first with Helena following him. She saw that the Marine went to the second floor and fired his rifle to the OpFors.
Suddenly, the Marine was gunned down by a shotgun blast to the head, causing Helena to abruptly stop by the stairs. She wipes the bits of brain matter and blood off her face.
She could hear a shotgun pumping right above her. She knows that the OpFor is waiting for her by the stairs. So she thought of a plan by using her flashbang. Knowing what is about to come, Massey stood by her side - waiting to strike. She then threw her flashbang into the room. When it exploded, the two rushed up to the stairs and took care of the hostiles that were still blinded.
Helena went for the shotgunner while Massey went for the two OpFors by the windows. After they cleared the area, Helena and Massey regrouped with Ryan and the rest of the troops by the main road.
The OpFors were already taken care of as they all move up to the next town over, separated by a long road ahead. Before they were about to cross the road, the technical from earlier had showed up as the Gunner begins to fire at the Task Force. Luckily Helena, Ryan, Massey, and the rest manage to evade the bullets by proning under the road.
A marksman with a DMR had her rifle aimed at the gunner of the technical. She waited for the vehicle to turn back, letting her getting a clear view of the gunner. With one shot, she manage to kill the gunner as his body then fell from the moving vehicle from a clean headshot.
Despite the gunner is now killed, the Technical was still moving into the second town until it was out of sight. The troops tried to push forward from the road, however more OpFor appeared from the roof of a building.
The troops had to stay in their position as they engaged with the OpFor whom were hiding behind the cinder blocks of the roof. Though a few of the troops, including Massey, manage to cross to the other side. Ryan and Helena got up to a crouching position as they were going to cross the road as well. The latter then look back to the hostiles by the roof to give the former some cover fire.
Suddenly, she saw that one of the OpFor is wielding an RPG.
"RPG!!" She screamed and ran away. Helena quickly bolted across the street and to where Ryan was as the OpFor soldier fired the rocket from her previous spot, killing one of the Marines that were with her that didn't hear her warning.
Avenging her fellow marine, Helena took out a frag grenade and throw it to the roof to where the RPG OpFor was, along with his comrades. She heard one of them shouting 'Grenade!' in Georgian before it explodes, killing at least a few.
When that was done, Helena joined with the surviving Marines as they kept pushing through the street towards the radio station. They met fierce resistance from the OpFor soldiers. Ryan threw a flashbang in which he manage to blind three OpFor before he and the Marines kill them.
Helena kept firing her M16A6 at the hostiles, then she noticed that the technical driver from earlier had disembarked the vehicle and joined the fight. Though the way he was shooting his gun looked pretty embarrassing, not even a single bullet hit her or the Task Force. Helena finished off this embarrassment by shooting him to the head. After that, they continue to push on.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers was shot down by the back of his head and though his left eye. Helena and Massey turned to where there are still surviving OpFor soldiers that was by the roof. Both of them quickly took care of them with one of the bodies fell down from the stairs.
The troops reach the end of the road where there's a roadblock ahead. However, there is still a path to their left. And good news, the radio station was just close by. They could see a glimpse of the structure from where Helena is.
"Heads up! Friendlies at your six!" An American Marine spoke up, prompting Helena to look back and see that two more squads of troops coming to assist them.
The troops then head left where the remaining OpFor members were gathered beside an unfinished house made up of concrete. A lot of them are using it as cover.
Massey along with a squad of marines went to the first alley behind while Helena, Ryan, and the rest are at the second alley near the roadblock. As they were fighting, one of the OpFor threw a grenade from their position.
"Grenade!" A Russian marine shouted before getting out of his cover to throw it. It was then he realized it still had the pin. Unfortunately, since he was now exposed, the OpFor manage to kill him. Helena fired her gun and killed two of the OpFor before getting back to cover. She then threw a flashbang at them, blinding a good chunk of them.
Seeing this, the troops rushed in and quickly deal with the enemies. Those that were inside the concrete structure were taken care of by Massey and his marines. While Ryan move up front to flank the OpFor, Helena decides to go left and assist Massey.
Helena then joined in with Massey as they dealt with the rest of the surviving OpFor. There were still three more by the end of the alley. Helena was going to shoot them, but they were then shot down by the marines that flank them from behind.
Seeing that the area is now clear of hostiles, the Task Force make pace to the radio station. There they could see several more marines and soldiers arriving and surrounding the structure. The VTOLs were also circling around the structure.
"Target building in sight." Ryan spoke up before going over to the marines that were already by the station first.
"We've got the TV station locked down and surrounded, sir." A female Filipino marine said to Ryan.
Ryan gave her a nod. "Good. Get in position to breach." The marines and soldiers then stack up to the far right door. Though, six of them decide to stay outside and guard the station from any incoming hostiles.
Helena, Ryan, and Massey then stack up close to the door. Like what happened earlier, Massey placed another breaching charge to the door with Ryan giving him a nod.
After he went back to a safe position, Ryan spoke up. "Do it."
Like before, Massey activated the charge which blew up the door. "Breaching, breaching!'
"Go go go!" Ryan exclaimed as he and Massey went into the room. Though they didn't fire a shot since there were no hostiles nearby.
