Retired Staff
The second half of their trip through the city had been much less eventful than the first, as the sheer number of troops joining them made any resistance the Mishhu remnants could mount. The reason for this became clear, as the squad suddenly came to a huge opening between the battered, crumbling skyscrapers. It had once been a vast square, more than a Kilometer in each direction, but currently it was a pummeled, broken, and misshaped hole in the the heart of the dilapidated old city. It had been bombarded for most of the day, both from orbit, and from artillery on the ground.
Across this void, firmly dug in, were the Remnants. From Squad XIII's position behind the front lines, they could see numerous fortifications that had somehow managed to survive the bombardment. Since the Planetary Infantry was now present, the majority of the bombardment had stopped, aside from the occasional precision strike called in by some forward spotter to try and blast past some sort of defense that had been found.
The tank that the Squad had been escorting, as well as the other squad, both went directly into battle, but Nakamura Juni held back Squad XIII, waiting for further orders.
