Location: Abandoned Ward, Deadlands
The sun began to rise to shine on the encircled city, the defenders of the city managed to withstand another assault from the Colonial forces. Its been close to 2 years since the Wardens within the city was encircled after their push offensive into the center of Deadlands, there has been the occasional Warden counter attack from within the main city to try to break out but those have failed. Now the forces within are out of supplies and fuel, they have begun to scavenge even from their own dead let alone the colonial bodies
Lenny waking up from a good night sleep that himself and most of the Warden troops stuck managed to get because they got some news that the collies are focused on trying to push on the gate. Walking around the city searching through the dead bodies that were left there, then heading to a position in an old hotel building walking up stairs and meeting with a machine gun team looking across the destroyed bridge keeping an eye out for any targets that want to appear
"Jet, Louis any new developments?" the medic lieutenant asked the team
"Nothing so far, its just the same sir" Louis said "Its quiet even if we can hear a battle at Callahan's Gate"
"How much more can we last sir?" Jet counting the ammo for the machine gun "I mean we are to the point where I don't think we can fight more"
"We will hold out, that I know there will be a time where we can get some rest on the back lines for some time" Lenny said back checking the sniper scope and the ammo
The machine gun team stared at the medic for a second until Jet spoke out "Sir do you know how to use that, being medic and all that"
"Hmm? Oh yeah I know how to use this, like every soldier within the Regular army we are still trained to use a rifle when need be. Its been awhile though since I used a sniper rifle" He responded back to them
The trio looked out at the destroyed bridge that got them here in the first place, its a very big reminder that they are stuck here and they don't need to know that there are still colonials trying to take this city hearing aircraft going over them and seeing squadrons of the Colonial Air force
"Looks like its really fucked for them if they are putting this much resources, to either keep us contained here or stop incoming advance of our forces" Lenny said hearing artillery rounds ring out and are close to their position his heart drop "Here it comes again" He got up "We got incoming get to your stations" As rounds impact in the occupied dead city
The artillery is destroying dug in positions and any old building that were already abandoned or in ruins after years of neglect, after a 5 hour artillery barrage from both sides of the city, after the smoke cleared the wardens posted near the bridges see the colonials start rebuilding the bridges or making field bridges
"Light them the fuck up" Lenny aimed his sniper at a collie engineer taking the shot, cycling the bolt back and taking another aim shot at another enemy soldier
The machine gun crew beside him started firing at the incoming colonial troops running across the field bridge, smoke and gas being used so that the colonials could push through and overrun positions that was so meticulously set up by whatever was left around from dead bodies and random rubble to sandbags that the they managed to steal from the colonials
Lenny reloads his rifle after finishing his first 10 rounds, he was indeed rusty in the 10 rounds expended he only managed to hit 4 and kill 3 colonials, after reloading 10 rounds individually he took aim then started shooting again hitting some and missing some. Doing the same motion until he was out of ammo or the colonials are getting closer, looking through the scope he kept on shooting. Patting on the shoulder of the machine gun crew
"Alright I'm switching areas" Lenny grabbed his medkit and the sniper rifle, moved out of the current building. Seeing the street battle getting worse as even more of the colonials cross over
"We need to move they have taken Wendover street" The gunner of the half-track said until the vehicle got destroyed by Colonial Light Tank Destroyer with the shrapnel hitting anyone close by Lenny ran over handing over the rifle to another Warden as he begins patching up the wounded leaving the dead in their place
"Move the men to the Government district, we can make a stand there" Lenny ordered whatever troops that are near him "Lets move" He grabbed a booker and sprayed the street he was looking at suppressing the enemy whenever they pop their head out
The troops Lenny managed to get away with move to other streets and the alleys getting into firefights whenever possible and losing more men when staying in the firefights for more than 2 minutes
Location: Abandoned Ward, Government District
With the snow getting heavier as ever, the colonials pressed their attack on the beleaguered Warden forces in the city pressing towards the last major strong point within the city which was the old government district, Imperial forces managed to build up defenses in and around the district for pretty much a situation like this. From makeshift barricades to kitbashed AT and Arty guns they have laying around surprising the guns still work with the crude appearance
"Enemy Light tank, range 50 meters, Northeast" One of the AT spotters said as the makeshift AT gun changed its range to hit the light tank "Gun ready and loaded" The gunner replied the gun fired at the Light tank destroying it in mostly one shot
"Reload we are finishing that tank" The spotter said again the gun fired its next round killing the tank
As the colonials got closer and closer to warden lines to almost touch them the colonial artillery couldn't risk the friendly fire so they halted the barraged left it up to the Airforce to help with the final push
Lenny running through the trenches helping patching and bandaging wounds, he looks around at the other medics doing their jobs. Everyone had mismatched equipment due to them being cut off from the rest of the Wardens so they had to make due with Colonial weapons which some liked abit too much
After the constant fighting that lasted for 10 hours throughout the day the noise finally quiet down only hearing the sounds of men and women groaning or just dying until a noise of an aircraft everyone looked up, the ones with binos looked up and identified it was a Warden scout plane
"Guys its ours, we need to signal something to show that we are alive and here" The spotter said
Flares and flags were used for the scout plane to see that there are wardens still in the city, the plane made a gesture that the pilot knows that they are there. Everyone was happy that friendly forces are actually finally coming to break them out
Until artillery rounds began raining on the colonial lines, most of the soldiers were ecstatic that now the colonials got a taste of their own medicine until one artillery shell hit friendly lines killing a couple of soldiers, everyone stopped cheering and got to cover the artillery that they now got is now hitting them most were just confused at what is happening and some paid the price for it everyone and everything was hit with shrapnel from wood, bricks, barb wire anything and everything was hitting them including the artillery
