Public Statement from the Dai-Tōhoku Renpō

 

With the aggression against Tianxian troops, the mad South American dog bites the Imperial Wolf in its sickness of mind and heart. The Republica has shown its true face of a constant source of threats to the Imperial peace, which now turned into action. As loyal subjects to the Emperor, the Dai-Tōhoku Renpōgun shall come to defense of the Imperial authority and vanquish any threat to the Imperial regime or die trying. We have extented a hand of peace and negotiation since the time we arrived, but if all we get in return is aggression and slander, the Republica will feel the wrath it has brought upon itself. We hereby officially declare war on the Republica in defense of the Empire of Tianxia.

 

Tennō-heika banzai!

 

As the announcement was read out by the honourable Konoe Nobuhisa and broadcasted to the nation and the world, the soldiers in the barricades prepared themselves mentally for the struggle that was about to start. They were expected to fight to their best ability and to win. The Imperial position would surely be overwhelming the meek resistence in Brazil, but still, the possibility of death was present and real. They had to be careful, confident and competent. As Nobuhisa ended, a united cheer roared through the ranks, as the soldiers reiterated the age old phrase in honour of the Imperial authority and the Rikugun was set into motion.

 

The troops of the 1st Kechuagun would stay to defend the North, the Kaiheigun with its light infantry meanwhile tasked with defending the eastern flank. The 2nd and 3rd Kechuagun meanwhile would start their advance into Paraguay, towards Concepción and Caballero, for countering any advances by the Republica in the South. Mitsubishi F-2 and F-15J Kai were ordered to scramble in order to protect Paraguay from enemy air incursions.

 

Meanwhile, the one actually offensive action conducted for now would be the launch of multiple wings of Mitsubishi F-2, armed with JASSM-ER air-to-ground missiles. The Defense Intelligence Headquarters' SATINT department had mapped started to map out airfields near the frontlines, civilian and military, information that would be used to fire their missiles at stand-off range in an effort to shut down the enemy's frontline air coverage.

 

Last, an encrypted message would be sent to Tianxia, in an effort to integrate the Rikugun's actions into the overall war effort and to inform them of their movements.

"We are sorry for the delay in communications. However despite our efforts against it you've just declared war on us through your last actions of attempting to enforce a no fly zone and bloackade, as well as landing troops in Republica proper territory. We wish it didn't come to this, but your unreasonable demands and continuous encroachments into the Republica's sovereignty have forced us too this point. We hope you enjoy your war Tianxia."

 

 

 

 

Seeing as the Republica annexed most of the former Amazonia territory and had troops already deployed all across northern South America, Imperial Airborne troops would fall into the teeth of the Republica forces waiting for them there. AA assets would shoot down the aircraft transporting them and any escorts that came with them. In Buenos Aires Marine transports would have to get past two of the Republicas full Aircraft carrier groups if they wanted to land.

 

 

 

 

OOC: before I respond to this I'm going to have to ask that you explain what everything in here is doing in detail because I have no clue what any of those acronyms mean. In the mean time here's a kind of placeholder so you get the general idea of what you walked into.

 

Republica intelligence assets would continue gathering intelligence on Tianxian and Dai Tohoku forces. The attempted air restriction would be met by the Republica's AADN and the already launched and patrolling Air superiority assets. The attempted blockade would be met by the Republica's shore batteries as well as the four Aircraft Carrier groups that remained around Republica's shores to defend it.

 

bleh.

OOC:  Nobody landed in Amazonia.  However, most of South America is not your territory it is disputed, you didn't ever RP moving troops in you just RPed claiming it.  Which you should know is not the same thing.  FIN INT is Financial Intelligence, SIG INT is Signals Intelligence, IRSST is Infrared Search and Surveillance Tracking, GEO is Geosynchronous Orbit, A2 AD is Anti-Access Area Denial.

Btw not to be unfriendly but the OOC thing here will be ignored:  http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/116157-the-chancellors-manor/  Just flat out, you won't get special treatment cause you said so.  You have to RP development, tactics, and strategy like everyone else.  I'm treating your defenses as developed, if you didn't RP special abilities beyond generic, and I've RPed counters (as with most technology you made), I'm going to just operate as you haven't done anything special.

 

Also as far as I know you never  RPed developing a constellation of nav sats, which is a huge undertaking and are thus dependent on others.

 

IC:

 

Space Operations:

 

As many in the past had found, attempts to conceal satellites were not very effective.  They were easily identified by most large space fairing nations as well as private astronomers (OOC: really this is what happens).

 

A series of blinding actions on satellites moving through Tianxia's areas of operations would immediately be executed.  Sea based lasers would be used to optical sensors, while microwaves were used to engage satellites generally denying them their effects.  Tailored access operations by cyber command would be executed on the uplinks, to attempt and enter and seize control of enemy satellites via their data links with varying degrees of success.  

 

In GEO Comm sats and EW assets would be engaged directly be small clusters of micro-satellites deployed out from the S-2s to enter mini orbits around them jamming their transmissions.  Nav satellite constellations deployed over SA would have their signals temporarily disrupted by jamming in space, aside from TSI military specific channels keeping the area, limited while also denying the enemy the ability to have situational awareness, or deploy smart weapons.

 

Tianxia Global Prompt Strike Command would hit satellite command and control points across the Republica, launching its ICBMs into fractional orbit.  With enemy Early Warning disrupted, the weapons would remain undetectable, and thus unstoppable, until they would begin their descent (far too late to stop them), delivering tungsten rods onto the command and control infrastructure, necessarily deployed above ground to maintain contact and instruction with satellites and support the war fighting mission, as well as be able to track other satellites.

 

As ballistic missiles came in, the missile defense would have seconds to react to them, however, complicating this was the employment of DRFM jamming, sending false signals of incoming missiles to confuse radar systems trying to engage them.  What pricey missile defense actual missiles there were (remember 1 missile defense interceptor costs about 9 times at much as one offensive missile), would be tasked to engage many targets which would be blanks.  By the time they could figure out what missiles were real, they'd already have been striking their targets.  (So I don't have to retype this, please consider it in effect for all the ballistic trajectory missiles you'll be facing for the rest of the post)

 

Air Operations:

 

Skyhawk EWACs would begin engaging the sensor defenses on the ground as they entered into the air space of Republica, the extremely stealthy aircraft with advanced IR masking features would be undetectable without large amounts of radar energy turned on, and even then, only at very close range.  The presence of electro-magnetic energy being emitted would turn on the EWACs sensors, allowing it to rapidly engage targets with high powered microwaves, terminating even hardened radar capabilities near instantaneously.  At the same time the EWAC screen would provide jamming for the other aircraft against incoming missiles.

 

Skyhawk AWACs would provide ultra-low probability of intercept radar coverage over the battle space in concert with space borne and nano drone based assets.  The units would provide high situational awareness as the forces of Republica mobilized in attempts to stop the oncoming onslaught.

 

F-5 and F-6 fighters flying high altitude super cruise would begin their turkey shoots of fighters as they attempted to launch from the ground above, necessarily placing them at a extreme disadvantage.  Directed energy weapons would often be used to fry the aircraft, and even reduce the power their engines had in doing climbing, leaving it no energy to maneuver or engage, denying them the ability to even engage the Tianxia aircraft as they unleashed their missiles guided by both advanced phased array radar system, which bypassed scramblers and could not be outmanuvered, and advanced fighter supported EO/IR search track systems for detecting heat trails and doing visual identification, drastically boosting kill ratios.

 

18 F/B-5 aircraft would also super cruise in at high altitude, the stealthier bombers would carry external payloads in weapons pods to enhance stealthiness remaining near undetectable at outer ranges, then fire 4 land attack cruise missiles each which flew at low altitude masking their movements with both stealth and terrain.  The missiles low flight path would make them undetectable to ground based radar until the last possible moment, and with F-5s and F-6s shooting every aircraft that took off, AWACs getting into the air and onsight would be a challenge.  The missiles would be targeted for the necessary central nodes to process all together the information of the many different Republica information assets for an integraed air defense and missile network.  Following in, the F/B-5s would circle providing onsight support with flechette bombs to hit SAM and other missile systems, as they came online, being instantly detected by Electro-optical radars.

 

20 B-9 bombers, would follow on as the enemy radar and search systems are disrupted, remaining on absolute sensor silent before suddenly appearing for a brief instantly, and then vanishing again having unleashed swarms of flechette bomblets onto the major military air fields of the Republica below, some exploding their HDRM warheads as they hit hangars and maintenance facilities to do catastrophic damage, along with cratering runways, but many spreading out throughout the space, so repair crews would have to wait hours for explosive ordinance teams to disable the devices, before any repairs could begin.

 

The attack would be rapidly followed on by global prompt strike command, launching a second force of inter continental missiles, these ones descending in the Brazilian forest, releasing weapons pods of six cruise missiles each, totaling three hundred, which flew outwards, dispersing.  With enemy radar, which remained online, forced up at high altitudes, their detection at low altitude would be even more difficult, stealthily making their way, right above the forest canopy to tell tale target signs of stealth aircraft maintenance facilities, without which unless specifically engineered to be endurable (which again you didn't), stealth aircraft couldn't operate.  

 

Engaging the Carrier Groups near Buenos Aires:

 

Aircraft attempting to launch from the carriers would find themselves at a kinematic disadvantage against aircraft enforcing the no fly zone, super cruising in the thing atmosphere far above.  All the thrust in the engines for the planes taking off would be used in gaining sufficent thrust and lift to stay in the air.  At it was then that missiles would strike.  The F-5s operating near undetectable at 50, 000 feet would unleash their combination of IR guided and phased array guided missiles, while remaining their own onboard radars on silent.   

 

Onboard AESA radars missiles would be near impossible to jam or even detect as incoming due to their wide frequencies, and evasive action would be near useless, while their IR guidance systems combined with the EO/IR scopes on the F-5s would provide extra coverage, making even defeating one guidance system, useless as a second would come online.  This was further complicated by combination multi-layered network sensor, making direct IR countermeasures worthless.  

 

F-5 attacks would not be the only thing as launches of missiles from multiple asses would home in on he carriers.  From the South Pacific and Antarctica hypersonic FALCON gliders would swarm across the sky, barreling down on the carrier groups defending Buenos Aires, radio lock ons would be jammed, as the second stage boosters would fall out behind the hypersonic glider providing a decoy for SAM missile defenses.  The evasive action and high flat flight trajectory would make ballistic missile defense missiles worthless against the gliders as they made their final approach towards the carriers and battleships of the groups at well over Mach 20.  

 

At the same time 12 B-10s would swarm across the skies at 70, 000 feet, their stealthy profile against radar based detection would make them extremely difficult to detect, in time for either fighters or SAM systems to get a lock on them.  Meanwhile their speed would make interceptors have zero chance of catching them.  The B-10s would use purely kinetic packages to strike airfields within Republica coming across the Andes from the Pacific, before coming up over the carrier groups striking the carriers with 12 hypersonic kinetic kill explosives each, with six terminal stage penetrators, for busting through the hall, and six flechettes sprayers which would destroy all the planes on the decks of the carriers.  

 

18 ASBMs would come out from Falklands engaging the two carriers defending the approach to Buenos Aires, evenly divided.  Unlike most ASBMs however, the reentry vehicle would fly above fleet defenses for engaging ASBMs before entering the terminal phase.  The missiles would be guided in real time by space and drone assets, as well as its onboard IR and laser guided warheads to make jamming and electronic defenses near impossible.  Meanwhile the speed and armor penetrating kinetic warhead, would make kinetic engagement of the weapons (i.e. gunning it) extremely difficult to pull off.

 

Engaging fleets along the Brazilian Coast.

 

Out in the far atlantic flying silently, even as the radars were oriented upwards to deal with high altitude threats, 24 B-11s would begin engaging the fleets defending the Brazilian Coast.  The B-11s each carried 36 strategic ranged cruise missiles, flying far outside radar detection, they'd salvo them off.  The weapons flew sub sonic, but were equipped with advanced RAM materials to render them undetectable by radar, and their advanced turbofans gave off virtually no heat.  Further since they flew so low, they remained well out of view due to the curvature of the Earth.  When they did enter combat range, the missiles broke apart, activating ramjets as they flew up and then down into the four carriers, executing sharp gee maneuvers outside the track of short range missiles and guns before delivering their tremendous blows to the carrier decks denying them the ability to launch planes.

 

From the Ascension Islands, MIRVed and hypersonic glider ASBMs were launched against the northern carrier fleets, six at each.  The MIRVed warheads, coming in at a steeper manuvering angle, with them dispersing bomblet to disable the carrier decks and destroy onboard aircraft, while the hypersonic gliders flew above missile defenses before finally coming in delivering fatal blows.  Meanwhile the Island acting as a virtual missile turret, launched two hundred arclight missiles, using their hypersonic gliders to fly above most missile defenses, and then descend into the center carrier group on the brazilian coast, executing high gee maneuvers to evade point defenses before going into the escort ships.

 

Guantanamo Bay would launch its own flight of six ASBMs against he Northern Carrier, each of them carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle which would then descend down in high gee manuvers to engage and destroy the carrier and the cruisers.

 

Brazilian Forest

 

Contact with the enemy would be made at several points.  Neither side has occupied much of the disputed brazilian territories.  Troops would engage in swarming tactics, with individual squads taking advantage of their current advantages in information assurance and situational awareness, to avoid contact with large groups of enemy, instead converging on smaller weaker units, then spreading out.  Supporting fires from B-11s circling the area as well as organic stand off range missiles would be used to engage targets flying below enemy radar into the targets, enabled by access to precision satellite guidance and the drone swarms.

 

[b]Paraguayan Border-Republica[/b]

 

Light Infantry took up dispersed positions over Paraguay's rugged border to make contact with enemy forces at the border, with three armored cavalry brigades kept in the rear area dispersed to swarm in and engage enemy forces in support.  Behind them, long range stand off land based mobile cruise missiles, and Tianxia SRBM TELs began their attack on air defenses, command and control, and ground based sites in Brazil. Land attack cruise missiles would fly below radar striking missile defense systems across the South, while also cratering runways and dispersing bomblets to deny the enemy access to them.  SRBMs, with their extremely short fly time, would be used to launch a surprise first strike on much of the mobile missile launcher bases across the South of Paraguay.

 

A-47 drones would be tasked with using the S.A.R. and GTMI radars to monitor vehicles leaving the missile bases, engaging them with their own onboard weapons, as well as when their ordinance were expended, using HPM emitters to disable the vehicles, and organic short range stand off cruise missiles would be launched from border regiments carrying cluster munitions to engage and destroy multiple vehicles.

 

Additionally, Tianxia's highly classified improved Chongqing-Boeing CHAMP cruise missiles would be launched from Paraguay, flying stealthily around the air space of Brazil, engaging radars and command centers with crippling microwave attacks, designed to fry even the best hardened electronics. 

 

Buenos Aires

 

Marine forces would move into the unoccupied city, their fast ground effect transports to outrun enemy grey hulls, with the enemy stand off forces either jammed or otherwise engaged, rapidly fortifying beachheads to hold the city from oncoming attack.

 

 

Rear Area Forces would begin surging into the area, starting with the prepositioning of dispersed bomber assets across the rear area, a surface action group, and fighter aircraft.

 

 

 

Military Dispatch:

 

To be clear we entered territories disputed, and claimed as part of the Imperium, not proper regions of your country.  Yet you continue to insist all this territory is a proper region.

 

Following this aggressive declaration, Imperial Forces will and have begun to immediately counter attack.

 

We will avoid the following:

 

1) The targeting of population centers other than appropriate precision strikes on military targets in them.

2) The use of nuclear weapons.

3) The destruction of space based assets. 

 

We expect our opponents to play by these same rules.  Should they fail to do so we will prevail.  

 

OOC:  Please query me with any questions. In specifics for missile defenses, I can bring up articles to back up why you don't have a lot of this capability.  All those technologies are very specific to one type of missile.

OOC: Not acting to rob you of your chance to respond, Zephyr. Just a different theater where I have not yet made a move.

As the strike against the carrier fleets was still underway, the Fleet Command would issue orders also the the Dai-Tōhoku Kaigun, for the fleet in the Kaigen Islands (formerly South Sandwich Islands) to move out towards the Brazilean coast. Vice Admiral Kumamoto and his destroyer flotilla were tasked with quite an important task.

 

Nanpō Kaiiki Sakusen

 

After having been refueled and resupplied, the small destroyer flotilla of three bari-class destroyers (Kiso, Abukuma, Chikuma), the helicopter carrier Rishiri and the flagship, the heavy aviation destroyer Suzuya, left port to start their dash north. The small fleet would head almost straight north, staying in the open ocean, away from the southern combat zone. Kumamoto had been given a different target.

 

Following protocol for combat missions, Suzuya would launch its Neptune reconnaissance drones, to assist in ASW and missile defence, keeping a constant air patrol up. Rishiri would meanwhile utilise it's Mitsubishi SH-60 helicopters to test the waters for hostile submarines that were a threat that had always to be considered.

 

Once the flotilla would be halfway between the Kaigen islands and Rio de Janeiro, they would use a list of airfields in Central Brazil, put together by the DHI again, to launch a barrage of 40 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles at runways, hangars and fuel depots in Rio's surroundings, to hasten the collapse of Republica air power. Once launched, the flotilla would turn around, to return to the Kaigen islands, in order to await results and restock the missiles for possible future strikes, even further north.

Gran Colombia which was now part of the Tianxian Commonwealth in South America, had watched the situation closely. It had moved its ground forces to begin its assault which would be so much as a sideshow, but contribute to the war effort. As the hour approached, the two Army Groups facing Peru would begin to shuttle its front units towards the forward positions just short of the border. The silence of the dawn punctuated the peacefulness of the border as the Gran Colombia Air Force began operations. The Gran Colombian Pacific Fleet was on hand to provide support as well.

 

Then at five am, the opening salvoes of Army Group A situated in Ecuador and Army Group B in Southern Colombia were directed onto targets just inside the Peruvian border. F-15SE Silent Eagle Multi Role Fighters and F-22 Block 50 Stealth Fighter in pairs would sweep into Peruvian airspace, supporting a variety of missions. F-15E Strike Eagle Multi Role Fighters and MiG-35A Fulcrum F Multi Role Fighters carrying Air Suppression Packages of AGM-88E Advanced Anti Radiation Guided Missiles targeted radar sites and any anti aircraft positions, with Su-34GC Fullback Fighter Bombers and A-10C Thunderbolt II Ground Attack Aircraft moving to target any military equipment within a hundred and fifty mile radius of the border.

 

B-1B Lancer Strategic Bombers launching at high altitude Sixty AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapons. Twelve each were launched against the cities of Chiclayo, Trujillo, Chimbote, Huacho and Lima targeting airport runways. government buildings and military bases. These strikes were mounted to disrupt preparations to counter the invasion further north. 

 

An hour later, the first thrust into Peru was made by Army Group A, throwing out their spearheads across the border with the 1st Guard Army of the 1st Guard Division, 3rd Guard Division and 6th Guard Division making concentric attacks into Piura Province and Lambayeque Province, while the 11th Army of Three Armoured, Seven Mechanised and Three Infantry Divisions struck into Tumbe Province and the 12th Army of One Armoured, Four Mechanised Divisions and One Infantry Division pushed into Cajamarca and Amazonas Provinces. The aim would be to secure these provinces and the coastal areas in them for future operations further south. Once these were secure, there would be a general advance to the line of the southern edges of Lima, Junin and Unacayli Provinces which were to the limit of Gran Colombia Operations.

 

Meanwhile Army Group B with their three predominary Infantry Division Armies launched attacks into Loreto Province, inserting by air the 1st Air Assault Division into the Capital Iquitos and moving slowly through the Jungle as they crossed into Peru. Improvised roads would be built by engineers to get the vehicles and Howitzers through, though their role was subordinate to the main effort further west.

 

Rules of Engagement were to avoid civilian casualties and minimise damage to property. They wanted to project a positive light of the Gran Colombian Soldier, plus to prevent unnecessary destruction.

The devastation of the initial attack was hard to calculate.  The Republica Navy was hit the hardest, three carriers, five cruisers had been destroyed, the surviving carriers had lost upwards of 80 percent of their aircraft on the decks, and their catapults were completely destroyed, unable to launch planes.  Strategic command was in even worse shape, the loss of satellite control systems meant the entire space based system was down.  Precision guided weapons were offline.  Imagery and reconaissance was offline.  Navigation for long range strikes were offline.  Worse most of the long range radar systems were destroyed, the surviving ones were heavily damaged, leaving Republica blind to the continuing attacks.  Nineteen squadrons of air force aircraft were lost on the ground while a further four were destroyed trying to take off.  Those that had survived had no runways to take off from.  Air Defense batteries had lost their integrated command and control center and most of the radars were either lost or disabled.   Of the missile trucks and TELs the Republica had, 40% losses were calculated.  Units which had engaged the ground forces were dispersed, unable to recieve communications and more often then not unaware of the heavy casualties they were taking.  

 

Overall the initial opening was a disaster for Republica.  It was unable to contest air space far from its borders, and unable to engage stealth aircraft or missiles anymore with any decent success rate.

 

Radar waves of the enemy had now been detected and were being sent to coalition forces to use in electronic warfare to further evade enemy responses.  

 

With the defeat of much of the air defense systems, Tianxia forces could begin an even more intense air campaign.  A detachment of 36 F-5s in full air superiority mode would maintain coverage of the area against any high capability adversaries that managed to get airborne while others would switch from stealth centric to payload centric configurations.

 

F/B-5s loaded out with external weapons would fly in on the first wave super cruising from bases in Bolivia at 50, 000 feet, the forward wing would be loaded out for long range stand off missiles, using information from the drone swarm to continue the TEL/SAM hunts, firing stand off range low altitude cruise missiles to destroy both vehicles and radars, The F/B-5s would then continue on to their harder targets, attacking and destroying airplane hangars in Bolivia itself with 2000 lbs JDAMs.  

 

F-5 and F-6 fighters would follow in engaging supply lines with cluster munitions and targeting the surviving radar and air defense systems as they continued to pound at Republica defenses.

 

12 B-9 bombers would be used to circle the country using JDAMs to pound away at the country's missile bases and munitions factories, while four B-11s would be used to destroy airplane hangars and exposed aircraft, while the runways remained cratered and bomb munitions were dispersed.  A further 8 B-11s were to assigned to continue cratering missions making it very difficult for repair crews and EOD teams to work.

 

Legacy drones such as Avengers and Predators were now flown over Republica air space doing front line interdiction and destroying enemy forward ground force parties.  Jamming remained in place to deny the enemy the use of radar, but any sophisicated attack would immediately alert other air force assets to the position of that weapon, allowing them to do significant damage.

 

At Sea 10 B-10s would be used to deliver hypersonic attacks now targeting amphibious ships, cruisers, and crippled carriers.  

 

Meanwhile the first naval strike force rounded the cape.  At its front were three flotillas of littoral combat ships outfitted with long range airborne derigible sensors and sophisticated sonar systems.  From their decks unmanned drones would carry out a sweeping net anti-submarine campaign supported by satellites.  Stand off range missiles were ready to give a first strike blow to enemy surface combatents still out of range.

 

Behind it were two surface action groups each centered around a battleship, followed by a combined taskforce including a Imperator II Super Carrier, a Prince Gong Class Carrier, and a Zeon class Amphib.  From these ships, 10 F-5s and 20 F-6s moved to engage the surviving surface ships of the battle group defending Buenos Aires.  The F-5s would move in first and engaging the targets with their external weapon pods from still out of radar range with Yamamoto anti-ship cruise missiles before jettisoning the pods.  The missiles would fly below the range the enemy navy ships could see them until 2 minutes in, at which point they'd have kicked in their ramjets traveling at Mach 2, manuvering in a way that would be near impossible for CIWS and point defense missiles to engage them.  Further their onboard jamming capabilities would allow them to defeat lock ons.

 

The F-5s would then move in closer to 60 miles, opening their internal bays to fire each off two M-51 hypersonic missiles, the weapons moving so fast they would be impacting the sides of destroyers before commanders could give orders to shoot them down.  

 

Following on these attacks, F-6s loaded with external weapons would be detectable earlier but it would matter not, because they'd have already fired off volley after volley of Yamamoto missiles to further destroy the fleets surface combatents.  Following on they'd fire internal NGTAMs, using the smaller warheads to finish off the frigates and smaller vessels in the flotilla.

 

On land marines had secured Buenos Aires and were rapidly advancing to secure the border against further attacks from Brazil.  While troops had beat back initial attacks in the Brazilian Wilderness as well, thus giving the corridors for now surges of rapid response forces from the Pacific Islands.  Soon Tianxia's forces would be in place for a major ground offensive into Republica itself.

 

SATINT and high altitude drones were deployed to track wave displacement and heat irregularities in the Atlantic, as sonar systems also came online.  Soon a outline of multiple submarines were coming into view.  It would take time to process the location of the entirety of the submarine fleets, however, sufficient information would be available for the deployment of submarine patrol craft from Tianxia's atlantic territories to engage eight enemy submarines underwater, delivering certain death by repeated torpedo and depth charge attack.  Hunter killer underwater drones would also be tasked to move into the areas.  The patrol craft would then be tasked with the secondary goal of launching cruise missile swarms at enemy logistical ships, denying the ability for he Republica navy to operate its surviving ships much beyond its immediate shores.  

 

At the same time B-11s were tasked with flying high speed raiding missions into the home ports of the Republica navy.  They units would be fitted with external ECM pods to further jam enemy radar lock ons as they approached ports, deploying remote activated naval mines denying both submarines and warships the ability to enter ports necessary to service them, before hitting their ramjets and gaining altitude to escape.  

 

Strategic Decapitation Strike (Editted to include spy rolls):

 

FOBS ICBM fields in Tianxia would roar to life as Tianxia's conventional global prompt strike system was launched, expending a full third of the arsenal.  At the same time two SSGNs in the Eastern Pacific would surface delivering 300 hypersonic ER-M-51 cruise missiles with penetration warheads.  Finally land based IRBMs with only a minutes warning would be launched from Guantanomo Bay, Panama, and the Atlantic Territories. Without the early warning satellites and the destruction of the OTH radars to give them any warnings of the impending attack, the Republica forces would have little chance of stopping the conventional ICBM, hypersonic cruise, and IRBM attacks attack on their nuclear facilities and silos.  

 

Rains of fire would come in all at once, the entirety of the nuclear warhead storage facilities and missile silos, at once.  Without sensors to provide for missile defense, the systems would be entirely at the mercy of constant Imperial Bombardment.  Further with Tianxia command of the skies and space assets, no launch commands could be given to any units to launch before their destruction.

 

At sea enemy ballistic submarines would face little more warning as Tianxia B-11 bombers were tasked to engage the locations with the largest wakes, the bombers would provide little warning before dropping precision depth charges into the area saturating the enemy submarines in unsurvivable attacks, unfortunately again, the ships would have no warnings because of the destruction of satellite communications and Tianxia command of the skies.  Within minutes the nukes would be gone.   While those in port (as far as I can tell you never specified so I'm assuming most you have are in port), would be engaged by B-10 strikes to sink them.

 

Long range stand off range cruise missiles would be launched to circle the surviving areas where TELs or warhead transports could be moved from their bases, to engage and destroy any stragglers.  The loss of the nav satellites would not allow any of the mobile weapons to be used, especially against Tianxia targets which were all moving (you can target something without nav sats, but it requires incredibly sophisticated gyroscopic calculations, which you have to preprogram into a missile) that can't be done on the fly.

 

Imperial Forces continue their triumphant attack on the Republica Rebels.  Our triumph is inevitable.  We urge the Chancellor to immediately throw down his arms and not force his forces to fight against the combined might of the United South American Forces.  It is time to embrace the truth for the good of his people and cease this pointless war of aggression.  

 

Republica can make amends and find itself back in the graces of the Imperium, and his Imperial majesty, but they must reconcile and show proper reverence and acceptance.  Additionally they must dismantle their WMD programs.  The punishment they suffer now, is the result of stubbornness and failure to do this.  We urge them to take proper corrective action.

OOC: Auto-advance.

 

IC:

 

As Colombian soldiers attacked Peru from the North, the 1st Kechuagun in Northern Bolivia would start to cross the border from the South. Heading from La Paz along Lake Titicaca via Juliaca and Sicuani towards Cuzco, they would mainly focus their strength along this route. Upon engaging enemy strong points, they would be ordered to attempt to encircle the enemy, and if impossible, they would mosly stay in position, to avoid head-on assaults.

 

To assist in the North, five more wings of F-2 multirole fighters had been transferred to Bolivia. Armed with air-to ground loadouts, they would use the mountainous terrain to avoid radar by flying low and using the terrain to mask their movements. Radar sites that could not be avoided entirely would be approached similarly and engaged with anti-radiation missiles to degrade the enemies ability to engage approaching air strikes. However, the main target of the sorties would be enemy airfields, which would be taken on with bombs and air-launched cruise missiles, as well as enemy force concentrations encountered by the ground forces, which would get removed by JDAM guided bombs and anti-tank missiles.

 

In the South meanwhile, a two-pronged assault would be started. The two armies stationed in Paraguay would assault Southern Brazil, heading towards Campo Grande. With earlier air attacks by F-2s having already taken out pretty much all major air fields, the Japanese soldiers would use more concentrated force to break through along the Paraná, before turning towards Campo Grande. Mechanised forces with Type 10 tanks and Type 89 IFVs would lead the way for self-propelled artillery and infantry that would provide fire support and secure the rear. Meanwhile, light infantry units from stationed in Eastern Bolivia would attack the Republica across the common border to create a pincer at Campo Grande. Utilising the unconductive terrain of the Pantanal, the light infantry of the Kaiheitai would attempt to move with as little vehicle footprint as possible, to achieve surprise and use infiltration tactics to by-pass any strongpoints the Republica might have set up in the swampy area of the border. Such enclosed pockets would be left to rot or for later removel via aerial attack.

 

Assisted were these units by the F-2 and F-15J multirole fighters that had already been flying the first mission and which would now assist in operations against ground targets, as well as against enemy helicopter gunships, when encountered. Meanwhile, five wings of new F-2s, which had been transferred to the theater would be used to fly attacks against targets in the coastal provinces. With the F-4s' advanced stealth and the by now poor state of Republican air defense installations, they would start to mop up the last few intact radar installations with ant-radiation missiles, in order to allow following wings of F-2s to engage whatever was left of the region's airfields, this time however not targetting mostly runways, but focusing on hangars and fuel infrastructure to destroy or severely cripple the Republica airforce that had not already tried to scramble.

 

Kumamoto's fleet, which had hardly encountered anything, would fire their long-range cruise missiles from safe stand-off ranges, having long turned around by the time these missiles would reach their targets. The fleet would be withdrawn to seas further South, to meet up with PLAN ships, to assist with ASW duties.

 

Last, but not least, an army of 40,000, the Karafutogun, which had been ferried in, would move from Northern Bolivia into the Amazonas region. With the vastness of the terrain, the comparatively poor levels of infrastructure and the Republica considered to be occupied in the defense of other more vital regions, these troops were dispatched to assist Tianxian paratroopers and to attack Republica forces in the region to break apart the spread out forces completely.

OOC: Heh, almost forgot I got an auto-advance. And I wondered why I had this tab opened...

 

IC:

 

Peru Theatre

 

In Peru, 1st Kechuagun soon would make contact with the Colombian troops, as both forces closed in at the Republica garrisons inbetween them. With a simultanous advance of Renpōgun forces into the Amazonas, thereby severing the connection between Peru and the mainland, desperate Republica soldiers would retreat and form pockets around Ica and just north of Cuzco, where they became enclosed by Japanese troops.

 

With much of the enemies local air force infrastructure falling victim to the F-2s low-level approaches, the Republica air coverage in the western theater would crumble within days and leave the skies open for almost unchallenged aerial attack on the few remaining stragglers, which now were at the mercy of F-2s and their JDAMs, as the local commander saw no reason to expend his soldiers lives in an assault. A message would be sent to the troops in question though, to offer them the chance to surrender, should they not want to perish.

 

Amazonas Theatre

 

The greater part of Republica forces having been tied down in missions to search and engage Tianxia paratroopers, little effective resistence was made against the soldiers of the Karafutogun. Smaller parties that were encountered were mostly overran, with only a small part scattering to avoid a head-on engagement, rather resorting to delaying actions in the form of blowing up bridges and streets used to transport troops and their supplies. Given the overall level of infrastructure in the region, these actions bought around half the Republica forces in the region time to retreat to the coast around Belém, however without having a meaningful enough presence to contest the Imperial forces, Manaus would eventually fall without greater issues.

 

Brasilian Theatre

 

Almost as successful as the other operations went the attack on Campo Grande. With effective air support and an increasingly disorganised enemy, the armies from Paraguay seized most of the Paraná river, before Republica forces could muster an attempt at a counter-attack, attempting to envelop the troops by simultanous attacks from troops by-passed in Campo Grande and Northeastern reinforcements. However, despite their courage, the daring operation would collapse quickly, as the first light infantry managed to fall into Campo Grande's rear and although the western army turned towards this attack from the Pantanal, pressure from the forces in Parana and aerial attacks would soon lead to a collapse and the capture of the town. The troops from the Northeast meanwhile would face an approach under increasingly difficult conditions, as their own air support got increasingly crippled and news arrived of the situation around Campo Grande.

 

While the air force still flew missions to attack enemy air installations, these missions increasingly were to prevent reconstruction measures and to take apart road and rail transportation, instead of targetting functional air installations. Republica air forces would find themselves pushed back in their operational range to Northeastern Brazil, providing hardly any coverage beyond Brasila or Belo Horizonte. In the South meanwhile, the Renpōgun had overrun already multiple airfields and with the aircraft neither being able to launch, nor to defend themselves on the ground, their capture would cause great losses to the enemy air inventory.

 

At the end of the Renpōgun's actions, the Republica would stand quite devastated, having endured considerable losses in its ground forces, with estimates ranging from 10,000 to 18,000 killed or MIA, at least double the number in wounded and around four to five times the number in troops that had either surrendered or were now enclosed in pockets. About a third of the enemy aircraft inventory had been destroyed either in air-to-air action or on the ground since the start of the war and at least one more third had been grounded in remaining territory. On Japanese side, the Kaiheitai would have suffered the worst, having encountered fierce, but ultimately futile resistence from Campo Grande and of the around 2,000 dead Japanese, at least half of them were Kaiheitai soldiers. Wounded would make up for 8,000 to 10,000. Aircraft losses were negligible.

 

An encrypted message would be sent to Tianxia that the Renpōgun would for now not be able to push any further for the time to come, due to logistics and lack of free fighting soldiers, however they would garrison captured territory to not tie down allied soldiers. Wounded Japanese and Republica soldiers would be transferred to Paraguay and Bolivia, as soon as they were in a condition to be transferred, so they could get more adequate treatment. Fleet and airforce would however stand still to Tianxia's disposal.

The assault had by the end of the first day secured all objectives against heavy resistance, with Republica forces falling back under a series of hammerblows. Army Group A now took full control of the offensive, with several spearheads breaking through. As they advanced, Gran Colombian units moved through areas largely abandoned by Republica forces. Rearguards did put up resistance, inflicting casualties as they had to be dealt with one by one.

 

With the Republica airfields neutralised, the Gran Colombia Air Force now utilised its air superiority to pound Republica units without pause. With movement neutralised, the offensive was unchecked as it passed through town after town.  Republica units that were in fortified positions along the coast were blasted by surface vessels offshore, with the two Minke Class Heavy Missile Cruisers using their one Twin AK-130 130mm/L70 Dual Purpose Guns to pound them into submission.

 

Resistance would however soon collapse, as Huacho and Huanuco was captured, These developments would mean the Republica Army would suffer a catastrophe as on the afternoon of the second day, a Gran Colombia Naval Fleet landed two Marine Brigades between Cerro Azul and the southern Lima Province border in the Republica rear, rapidly securing a bridgehead. They then struck north towards Lima, reaching the southern outskirts just as a spearhead from the 1st Guard Army reached the city from the north and east. Lima was surrounded and would be put under siege. At the same time, forward units reached the old Federal fortifications from the last Peruvian Civil War, with several linkups made with Japanese units advancing from the south.

 

Humanitarian aid and food would be dispensed to the local population to prevent a crisis. A message was sent to the Republica administration in Lima ordering them to surrender, as their position was now hopeless. Meanwhile the city itself would be kept surrounded, while the last of the resistance was mopped up.

The scope of the devastation was hard to imagine, with enemy missile defenses blinded, the Republica forces were at Imperial mercy, and being bludgeoned constantly.  Warheads and delivery vehicles (be they hardened silo, submarine, mobile missile launcher, or bomber) alike to deliver nuclear weapons were gone, as was the command and control infrastructure to target them.  The air force was mostly destroyed, with those surviving lacking any usable air fields, nor did they have radar or air traffic control to direct their launch.  A full 80% of the navy was now at the bottom of the sea, including the carriers, the missile defense ships, and the submarines, leaving a hollow force.  Those left were blockaded from their own ports.  Radar defenses within the Republica were gone, with most SAMs destroyed.  Therefore standard heavier electronic warfare and AWACs planes as well as airborne refuelers could now be flown at high altitude, with protection measures to defend against limited SAMs as well as easily disrupt MANPADs.  This allowed for now a much more persistent presence of Imperial forces.

 

18 old AC-130s would be brought out of storage for the operation, with always one ready on the ground and one in the air flying point in 9 combat sectors, engaging enemy forward brigades to cover the advance of coalition forces, and suppress enemy maneuvering units to allow for flanking.  In the South this would be augmented by the final arrival of surface action forces.  

 

It would be as if the thunder god himself had descended on the continent as the Xia Class Battleships of the Imperial Navy unleashed their mighty arsenals against surface forces across the theatre.  Volleys of hundreds of cruise missiles launched from the surface action group at the edge of their operating distance surging ashore, being targeted by forward marine units as well as the drone swarm overhead, interdicting supplies to the Republica forward forces as well as destroying their artillery and massed units, allowing Marine forces to form spearpoints at their weak spots and pour through them.  Even as this happened, two army combat brigades had already been air lifted in to Argentina and were bringing up the rear, engaging forces the Marine's cut off and destroying them.

 

F/B-5s from the Atlantic Carriers would run interdiction missions deep into enemy lines, carrying large payloads of ordinance including external ones, using their electronic warfare systems to protect from surviving ground based fire, as well as the advantage of high altitude against guns.  GTMI and synthetic aperture radar synced with eletro-optical scanners would allow them to identify enemy vehicles seven under lush tree cover, and the multiple fused systems would allow them to detect with high degrees of accuracy military or civilian.  The result was the ability to destroy large numbers of columns attempting to move to the front.

 

Carries F-5s and F-6s would rain 4 air to air missiles each to deal with any remaining aircraft that managed to come up and play, but most weaponry was outfitted for air to ground intercept.  The units would provide direct close air support to the ground forces on the southern front advancing, destroying enemy head quarter units, artillery, and armor.  

 

The air force would use its B-9 and B-11 forces along with F-5s and F-6s based in paraguay to provide similar support for the Amazonian wilderness forces and the forces pushing across the Paraguayan border.  These forces would be both reinforced now by 3 full additional combat brigade teams allowing for limited pushes into Republica territory while the enemy command and control systems were in disarray.  Further the TEL forces in Paraguay had now been reloaded, firing an additional 300 SRBMs this time targeting head quarters units across the entire southern front of the war effort down to the regiment/battalion level, combined with striking major logistical pre-positioning sites.  

 

At sea the Tianxia fleet continued to steam towards where thousands of Republica sailors were adrift, with the Republica having no way to rescue them.  The strategic global prompt strike system meanwhile would let off six more FOBs systems before being placed on moratorium.  These would target the Republica ground forces three largest bases reducing them to rubble, the message was clear.

 

 

 

The Forces of the Emperor are poised to destroy Republica's status as a power into perpetuity.  Thus far our wrath has been primarily focused on machines, and your air force and navy.  Republica's Industry and its much more numerous ground forces have been left mostly alive.  But they are at our mercy.  Your sailors are adrift at sea.  Your cities are open for the plucking.

 

Now is the time to reconcile with the Emperor and restore the order of heaven.  Take the pledge as other nations in this troublesome continent did before you, or face the ultimate fate and we shall welcome you back into the fold, save your sailors, and spare your armies.

Lima, Peru
10:00 Hours Local
 
The sound of the Gran Colombia Military entering the city marked the end of the Peruvian campaign. The city had been surrounded for days, with tactical strikes on targets inside the city and sporadic artillery fire on known Republica positions had hung over like the Sword of Damocles. Finally as the Major of Lima surrendered the city, Armour and Infantry poured in, with the sound of tracks and engines drowning out the usual noise. High above Fighters circled, with occasional explosions and gunfire as some hardcore Republica fighters decided that they were not going to give up.
 
However by the end of the morning the gunfire fell silent, with the Mayor now working with Gran Colombia officials to oversee the new administration of the Gran Colombia occupied areas of Peru. The first local officials which were to be sworn in would take place soon.

Great Victory in South America

 

"Today, in the morning hours, after weeks of hard struggle against the Republica aggressors, the Nihongun was handed a notice of unconditional surrender by the Republica Armed Forces. Nihon Rikugun divisions have crossed the frontlines largely unopposed, with only minor firefights against stragglers that most likely were not reached by the Republica's faulty communication networks. Major cities have been occupied and together with the People's Liberation Army and the Colombian forces, the Nihongun has fought valiantly and brought down a true enemy of the Empire and Peace in the Pacific. The sons of the Rising Sun can truely be proud to have extented our Imperial lifeline to South America.

 

From the frontlines, brought to you by the NHK World."

 

[hr]

 

Japanese divisions would start moving into Brazil, taking the Republica forces into custody for now. Following initial heavier forces, the light forces would move in (such as the Kaiheitai in dress uniform pictured above). Cities in the extreme East would be seized via drops of Kuteiheitai paratroopers. Japanese and Imperial Tianxia flags were raised and soldiers would sing of the glory of the Empire, cheerfully enjoying their final victory.
