Battle for Werrina: Part 1
January 12, 2020, 12:00 hours
Werrina, Vulkaria, Almar Hotel
"Get those civilians on those trucks", yelled a Sergeant as bullets fly and ricocheted off the truck, street pavements, and the front of the hotel. It was the second day of fighting in Werrina. Arcadia-Dazber troops along with Byzoncian and Xiomerians encircled the city on the first day. On the second day coalition forces manage to capture most the outer parts of the city, resistance in the city was slim, but as they push deeper into the inner parts of city fighting became more intense.
The city was the first target to the coalition stationed at Godenia taking Werrina would be the first step of the southern offensive the estimated force was 500-3,000 or perhaps lower, many in high command were optimistic "taking Werrina would be easy," and "wasn't an important city to the M.L.F and would be an easy victory," they we're mistaken.
The M.L.F had made the cities that border government control territory into front line cities, strongholds to prolong a siege, however many of these cities fell in a matter of days. When coalition forces near the Vulkaria capital manage to take freeborn the city was captured in a matter of days, but the fighting was still intense. In Werrina the sounds of bombs exploding, gunfire, even the screams of the wounded and dying could be heard as the sky continues to be filled up with thick black smoke as the fighting continues to occur.
The Captain's mission was to lead a group of twenty-five men into the hotel and capture it in order to establish an Outpost in the inner city, fighting to take the hotel was intense about two men were killed and another two wounded each floor of the hotel was cleared. During the sweep one of the soldiers found a two group's of civilians hiding in the basement, the soldier turned and looked at the Captain "what we going to do now, sir? We can't just leave them here."
The Captain looks at the people they are scared, terrified, afraid to even move a muscle or even say anything. "No, we're going to get them out of here, see if you can get anyone on the radio and tell them that we need an evac for these civilians," stated the Captain, "Yes, Sir!," the soldier replied. A Sergeant who was second in command of the mission came to the Captain and argued "This isn't part of the mission, Our job is to capture this hotel not evac civilians," he said, "I know, but we can't just leave them here. In the meantime get the men into defensive positions we have to hold out until evac arrives," ordered the Captain.
The M.L.F had launch a counter-attack to retake the hotel, one of the soldiers had be shot in the chest in an instant he fell laying down gasping for air. The Captain drags the wounded soldier into the hotel as bullets fire passed him "Where the hell is our evac?!," he yelled, "almost here, sir!," said a Sergeant, then two armored Humvee's along with the transport truck arrived.
"Ok, there's our evac, get the civilians onto the truck," ordered the Captain as he returns fire. Coalition soldiers quickly exit out of the vehicle, as men on the .50 Cals open fire on advancing M.L.F fighters. The civilians head to the transport quickly as possible, bullets fly by as they get onto the truck. The sergeant tells the driver to go, and he takes off speeding as he drives off away from the hotel. "Alright, there gone. Everyone continue to hold defensive positions!, Push these dogs back!," yelled the Captain as he gives the order to hold the line.
The battle would last for around two hours before the M.L.F abandoned the desperate assault on the hotel and retreated. In those two hours of fighting around five coalition soldiers would be killed, and four wounded. The engagement would be known to the veterans who fought in Werrina as the "Siege of the Almar".
As the fighting continues to rage on in Werrina a special operations unit's begins to close onto a compound of a valued target.
