"TOP SECRET"

**Dalmatia Forward Air Command**

We ask you to bomb 4th and 8th Dragannan division at Utrecht. With a bit of luck those mined roads and railways with be hit as well.

*TOP SECRET*

Dutch forces at Arnhem will mass at Doorn, province of Utrecht (between Driebergen and Veenendaal) and entrench themselves and await further orders.

1st Gelderland National Guard, 3th Brabant National Guard and 11 Afdra "Gele Rijders" Mobile Artillery are to be send to Doorn and entrench themselves and await further instructions..

*TOP SECRET*

Upon noticing that the 15th Dragannan Division was moving towards Hoogeveen, Drenthe the units of the Drenthe, Overijssel, Friesland and Groningen National Guards have been withdrawn further north and have spread out. Ready to wage a guerilla war in Drenthe.

The Drakorian center held their ground, and the left and right flanks began to curl around to encircle the tank company. The Marines armed themselves with Javelin Anti-tank missiles and opened fire on the tanks as the rest of the troops fired on the infantry. With 50,000 soldiers and 300 tanks, the battle was expected to end quickly.

The 9th tank company was for all intents and purposes completely destroyed. However the few that did not get killed in the action were found to be already wounded troopers. It seems the entire company was replaced with wounded from the 8th Division, and sent as a diversion into the Drakorian center.

**Dalmatia Forward Air Command**

At the hastily put together Forward Air Base, Captain of the Forward Air Armies, Ljeck Kristof looked at an intel report put together by Dalmatia Intelligence. The map, itself, was quickly put together, showing only the major enemy elements close to the border.

"Captain, according to intelligence, most of the enemy invading forces have withdrawn from the border regions. UAVs can confirm that information. It would seem now we have two available enemy formations, there appears to be a Division to the North and one in the south near Gelderland." The intelligence officer rubbed his chin. "This intelligence should be up-to-date."

Ljeck slammed his fist on the table "Should be up-to-date? I want confirmed information, not random guesses! God help us all, that intelligence department really needs some reform."

Ljeck then walked over to a digital communications system and gave the order, "Proceed with Air sorties. Around the clock. I want the enemy destroyed."

**Air Operations**

Upon receiving the order from Captain Ljeck, Su-34 fighter-bomber/strike aircraft began to lift off from their assigned air fields. For each sortie, each fighter bomber would be equipped with guided weapons such as the Jachont air-to-ground missiles, KAB-500L/KR and KAB-1500L guided bombs, which would explode into anti-armor cluster bomblets or anti-personnel bomblets. Their main targets would be enemy divisions in the north and south (OOC: 15th Dranaagan Division, 9th Dranaagan Tank Company), and they would target them with around the clock bombing operations.

In addition to the Su-34s, Tu-160 Heavy Bombers would assist in the bombing. Each Tu-160 was loaded with 2 internal bays for 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) of ordnance. Each bomber would carry a mixture of fletchettes bombs, which would be used to shred the flesh of the Dranaagan soldiers and Anti-Armor bombs, which would expode in mid air and cover the enemy armour with armor piercing bombs.

Operations would continue until enemy forces have evacuated the Netherlands.

*classified*

The 15th Division, already on the move Northwards are hid hard in the rear formations by the bombers. 110 casualties are reported, but the division does not stop to pick them up.

-------------------------

The 4th Division, and the 8th Division, in Utrecht begin lighting fires to add to the smoldering forests around the city. Sending up massive clouds of smoke and ash to obscure their positions.

*Classified*

The 8th Division has moved to Western Utrecht. 4th Division snipers have taken positions in East Utrecht watching for approaching enemy forces.

OOC: Im assuming that was public.

IC:

Reports that the 9th tank division is nearly wiped out. all armor that was due to amass outside of Doetinchem is to relay orders to retreat BACK to Arnhem and await orders, we will let the Drakonians finish off the 9th armor. The Other forces will contiune towards Deventer.

Artillery will still be set up in Arnhem and begin bombarding suspected enemy forces.

Greenland: Contiune to persue and bombard the 15th Drang division, accompanied by Dalamatian air support.

Krieg, CAU and Austria: Move out and mass at Arnhem and Apledoorn. Reports of heavy flooding on the southern line, no need to defend, forces will not be able to enter or exit. Therefore, ALL Krieg Military units are to begin making there way towards Arnhem and Apledoorn.

Ede is now under Allied control, Deventer is now under allied control.

ARNHEM IS NOW THE NEW ALLIED HQ. ALL REINFORCEMENTS BY AIR SHOULD LAND HERE.

The Krieg Empire is sending 50 more MBTs, and 5,000 more troops to Arnhem via Air. We will send Reinforcements like this as needed. Wave 2 of reinforcements will contain 50 tanks and 5,000 troops, as well as Wave 3, etc ad etn.

The Artillery ordered earyiler in the thread is now landing in Arnhem. Artillery will be given orders soon.

NEW ALLIED CONTROL MAP AND TROOP MOVEMENTS..

Blue is Krieg, CAU, and Austrian Movements, all support is moving towards Arnhem.

Brownish-Black is Drakorian forces, moving hopefully towards Arnhem and Apledoorn.

Dutch forces can see the fires but it seems that it isn't that bad as previously thought. The resistance has informed us about fires around the forested areas around De Bilt and more north towards Soest.

Majoor L. Fransen of 11 Afdra Mobile Artillery is sitting on the parapet of his entrenched artillery position just outside Doorn with a smirk on his face waving the weather forecast. "Tonight.. there might be some rain." He grins to one of the other officers "The stupid idiots wasted their time for nothing !"

Secret IC: We ask the Dutch to not open Artillery fire just yet. Refer to orders above. We will mass Artillery in Arnhem and Apledorn and begin bombardment of Utrecht later, along with your artillery.

For now we WILL not engage Utrecht until Greenland and Dalamatia have finished off the 15th Detachment in the north.

[Markus Wilding]

IC: "C'mon Cole, get your gear. We're moving out to Apledoorn...whatever the hell an Apledoorn is." One private took up his Tenchgun and said, "Hey, ya know what Apledoorn reminds me of? Baltimore. Both have weird names, and are as hard as hell to spell." The company sarge said, "You can't spell Baltimore? Dang, I feel real sorry for whatever girl finds you, Hux." The rest of the division had a good laugh and they marched towards Apledoorn, with 12 Abrams tanks in tow.

Received and understood- we will refrain from opening fire towards Utrecht (Utrecht is well in range of our M109 mobile howitzers). Mobile Group Limburgse Jagers and a tank brigade have reached Barneveld. Distance to Amersfoort: 18.8 km's.

As the first NoN planes made their flybys over Krieg Territory, a message was sent to the Kriegian Battle Command.

"Attention, Krieg Battle Command... This is Magic-4 of the NoN Liberation forces... Please transmit landing co-ordinates for our flights and docking positions for our Ships, over."

As the pilot replaced his radio transponder, the lumbering C-141 Starlifter turned to the North East. As the plane banked, the man looked over his shoulder to see the similar movements of several other identical crafts.

If the man was able to see the scenes to the far south, a line of cargo ships was also approaching Krieg.

OOC: I take it I'll be landing the planes (1st Cabal of 9,100 men) at Eindhoven? Also, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th will arrive a day apart after this.

The heavy tanks and such are on my ships... however, the NoN does not have an IG navy, hence the term Cargoship!!! They are simply unarmed tradeships and will need a safe port!!!

"TOP SECRET"

Local units from the National Guard from Drenthe that had slipped into hiding and were rumored to have be withdrawn North attack elements of the Dragannan 15th Division at Echten- a small village close to Hoogeveen, Drenthe.

After a brief exchange they slip back into the darkness heading for an unknown location.

Likewise- Local units from the National Guard of Overijssel quickly gained control of the road close to Staphorst and looked for survivors to take prisoner for INTEL. After that they slipped back into the darkness speeding South.

OOC: I was referring to the unrealistic claim that i could have shipped 35,400 men in two weeks via cargolifters.... groups of 9,100 are arriving every week IC....

Also, the tanks will need to be released at a friendly port, yes, however some of these tanks weigh 60+ tonnes, while a standard C-141 can only hold about 147 tonnes, which is highly impractical!!!!!! If you can fly those tanks in, then why didn't I just do it myself? Ships are the only way for me to realisticly (no godmodding) move 354 tanks and the hundreds of other vehicles im sending!

Therefore, they'll dock at Krieg or the closest port you can get (the Allies getting a port so the NoN heavy tanks can land in the Netherlands could be a big part of the war RP, like a crucial battle or something) and then have to roll out to Dranagg positions themselves...

Something will have to be done to drive 15th south or north. They will have to be on the march for our attacks to be really effective. It is the idea to make them loose their nerves and surrender. Psychological warfare.

Another attack was carried out- this time on another side of Hoogeveen. A couple of shots were fired- and the unit withdrew back into the night.

[Malatose]

News of the destruction of the 9th Dranaag Company reached the Dalamatia Forward Air Command in no time. In response, Captain of the Forward Air Forces, Ljeck Kristof, ordered that all available air forces be directed towards the enemy formations (OOC: 15th Dranaggan Division) in the north. Basically, the entire might of the Dalamatia Airforce assigned to this conflict would be brought down on the enemy divisions there.

The Su-34s prepared for the next air offensive. They refueled their forces and reloaded their munitions. The Su-34s were equipped with guided bombs and air-to-ground bombs. These were mostly the same as before, basically anti-personnel/anti-armor cluster munitions. The Tu-160 Heavy Bombers would reconfigure their internals cargo bays, completely. The Tu-160, four in all, would be equipped with 2,000lb guided bombs, which would completely overwhelm, if not, destroy the enemy.

When the fighters and bombers were prepared, the next phase of the Dalmatia Air Support began. Each of the Tu-160s and Su-34s launched into the blue skies, with only one goal. The utter destruction of the 15th Dranaggan Division.

**Airborne Assault**

The 20,000 Troops from the Dalmatia Rapid Deployment Force assembled into their heavy large transport aircraft. Every other soldier was equipped with the basic Surface-to-Air Missile launcher and Anti-Tank Guided Missile. Three other transport aircraft would deploy the light self-propelled artillery guns and light tanks, which would be used as support. Their goal was simple. They would conduct a massive air drop between Apeldoom and Amersfoort.

They would then advance to engage an enemy division (OOC: the 8th Dranaggon Division) to push them back into the sea. It would be a daring move, but with the tactical air support assigned and with morale high, they believed the operation could be completed. When the massive air armada came within reach of the area, the massive air operation began.

Dalmatia Airborne Operation

The Dalmatia Rapid Deployment Troops hit the ground first, getting into their pre-planned positions to begin for the offensive. After the infantry landed, the light IFVs and light artillery landed. They would be assisted by parachutes, to ease their landing. As soon as the Airborne troops launched, they headed towards their destination, to engage enemy troops in the west.

In the skies, the Su-34 flew over, just in time to begin the ground bombardment, to help the airborne forces. This time to help in the bombardment, Su-34s were equipped with Fuel Air Explosive Bombs, to completely wipe out the enemy. The push to the west had begun.
