Before we get to the chapter, I want to say have a Merry Christmas. Anyway, here's chapter 21 everybody.
Chapter 21A: Front Line.
It's October 4th, 2040, and it has been one day since the successful SSTO launch thanks to Wardog's help. The Wardog Squadron, along with arriving nuggets, are back at Sand Island after days of refueling and rearming operations. Anyway, the Wardog Squadron are sitting in the briefing room as Sand Island is in red alert.
"You people are like the plague, you know that?" Perrault said. "The moment you return to Sand Island, this happens."
Perrault turns the briefing to Peterson.
"A large combined force of Russian vessels and aircraft has been detected advancing in the ocean directly toward Sand Island from the west. Our intelligence has confirmed the presence of amphibious assault ships within the oncoming fleet. We believe the enemy's goal is to conduct a landing operation on Sand Island and capture this base. Close with the enemy, disrupt landing operations and suppress their naval gunfire directed at our forces ashore." Peterson explained.
"Even if this turns into a ground war, I am prepared to fight for this island to the bitter end. As my advance guard, I want you to forget everything else and concentrate on dealing a lethal blow to the incoming enemy invasion fleet. We'll be deploying everything we've got. Launch every aircraft capable of anti-ship combat, regardless of combat experience." Perrault said.
"Man, how long da Russians are gonna keep dis up?" Blaze asked.
"I don't know, but I hope our counterattack is soon." Lexi said.
Wardog, along with the rookie pilots, head for their aircraft and takes off to stop the Russian invasion fleet.
