《2nd Armored Division Get Transferred》 The Day Were Descend Atlantic Theatre, 0617 Hours, Earth Year: ("19/9/1945") On a brisk morning at 0617 hours on September 19, 1945, the Atlantic Theatre came to life as a ship set sail into the vast expanse of the ocean. The journey was heading north towards America, just a few miles away. However, the silhouette of the land or any other ships was nowhere to be seen, creating an eerie sensation as if they were in a world of their own. This was a monumental convoy carrying the 2nd Armored Division, bringing 328 tanks, and 14,487 men back home. The convoy was under the escort of Task Force A, both also making their way back to America. It had been a long and arduous journey across the Atlantic Ocean, without the absence of any remaining threats bringing a sense of relief to the soldiers and workers. The war had come to an end with the defeat of Nazi Germany, and now half of the force was being sent home to reunite with their loved ones. As the convoy sailed on, the well-established formation resembled a great fighting force, leading the combined fleet with strength and determination. The rhythmic clash of the waves against the ship, accompanied by the peaceful symphony of the blue skies, brought a sense of relief and joy to all the workers and soldiers on board who stood tall and resolute amidst this journey of triumph and homecoming. The 2nd Armored Division Forces Structure Command; https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCollege/s/o1ydvMKwzY - Please direct to this link for more information about the structure command. ----------------------------------------------------------- Task Force A was a combined fleet from another task force or fleet. With those combined, fleets were taken back to America for further repair and improvements. Task Force A consists of; - Aircraft Carrier :- ? USS Ranger CV-4 ? USS Wasp CV-7 ? USS Bogue CVE - Battleship :- ? USS Washington - Cruisers :- - CA Cruiser:- ? USS Cleveland ? USS Atlanta ? USS Montpelier - CL Cruiser :- ? USS Wichita ? USS Baltimore ? USS San Francisco ? USS New Orleans ? USS Anchorage - Destroyers :- ? USS Kidd ? USS Allen M. Sumner ? USS Gearing ? USS Fletcher ? USS Farragut ? USS Nicholas ? USS Bristol ? USS Hammann ? USS Laffey ? USS Benson - consists around 22 warships, and 34 convoy ships bringing weapon, ammunition, troops, vehicle, supplies and more. It was a strong navy fleet with the convoy as well. Such a mighty force in the middle of the ocean at the Atlantic Ocean, heading back to America. While heading its way, the skies were covered by a flock of cloudy clouds. It appears there will be rain coming soon. As everyone prepared with their will, the waves suddenly became much harder on impact within the ship; the impact with the violent waves caused extreme shaking between the crew and the soldiers. It was like no ordinary rain but rather a storm. "A storm incoming?" The crew of the convoy addressed the flock of cloudy clouds that appeared out of nowhere. All crew were working but seems like it would be a temporary pause for a moment. All crew headed inside to seek shelter upon heavy rain started to pour in. The scene started in a deck hall, where a soldier was walking over the hall, seemingly walking to a room located at the end of the hall. Followed with a document over his hand, the young soldier steps in as he arrives at the front door with a knock; "Morning, sir; I''ve prepared the documents as you wished for." The young soldier salutes at the high-ranking person in front of him. Major General Brooke D. Thompson, the leading command of the 2nd Armored Division, is known for its deployment at Operation Torch, the Allied Invasion of Sicily, Operation Overlord, Battle of the Bulge, Siegfried Line, and much more. He was a well-known officer for their independence and was a fierce officer throughout his whole campaign during World War 2. Brooke looked at him as he swayed his chair to him, fixating his eyes on him while holding his cigar between his fingers. He stood up; "Step in, son" as he blew away his cigar. The young soldier gives the documents to Brooke. "The Admiral from USS Washington, giving us a warning about the sudden storm," he said; Brooke looked at him, "A report?" he said without acknowledge. He took the document and put it over his desk. Meanwhile, the young soldier gives a slight brief about the incoming report- as he is about to talk, the waves clash with the ship, creating a violent shake, which makes the soldier almost put his face on the floor. "Goddammit, waves.." Brooke said, with his hand held tight over the desk, ensuring he also didn''t fall with him. The soldier then stood up, wiping the mess over his clothes before continue speaking; "Admiral Lonescloth requested us to head to Greenland and then continue straight until we arrive within Canada and then to America." "Hm, a quiet journey we have to go. Tell them this convoy doesn''t have the fuel to make its way. Also, tell them it''s probably a normal storm incoming." He responded with a neutral reaction, no, symbolizing anything, but doesn''t care. He lit up his cigar and started smoking again in his room as smoke started to build up... "Yes, sir." The young soldier salutes and gets the heck outta the Major General''s room. He then proceeded across the bridge to the convoy command room to relay a message to USS Washington using Morse code via light. Minute by minute, word by word, a message was transmitted. USS Washington 0645 Hours, "The leading convoy has sent a message." The crew member of the USS Washington received a response from the Major General himself. "We will continue straight ahead to America. No further explanation. A simple order." The crew read aloud, and every crew member on the bridge heard the clear words of the Major General himself. "Very well." The Admiral nodded. He didn''t have much time to debate and simply agreed with the decision; even though in his heart, he felt that something was amiss and trouble might be on the horizon for the convoy fleet. The convoy pressed on straight ahead toward America, disregarding the presence of the storm in the area. Following the route to Greenland, then to Canada, and finally to America seemed like a secure course, but it came at the cost of higher fuel consumption. As the waves grew larger and thunderstorms dominated the skies above, hail and thunder struck the ocean at any moment. The storm intensified and eventually developed into a hurricane in the middle of the vast sea. All they could do was try to survive and wait until the storm passed, which took 24 minutes. Amidst the tumultuous conditions, the convoy found itself in a precarious situation. the storm, the damage to the convoy ship was initially thought to be minor. However, it turned out to be more serious than anticipated. Unbeknownst to them, the storm seemed to create a strange anomaly, causing them to veer off course and sail to an Earth-like planet that appeared out of nowhere. The transition felt seamless as if nothing had happened. Panic ensued among the crew of the USS Wasp as they reported sighting a nearby ship or fleet, but couldn''t locate any falan; instead, a different island was visible, not resembling the usual North American continent. A commander charges in the bridge of the USS Wasp, "Heard a problem." He said, with his foot stepped in the room. "What''s the matter?" as he approached the crew who are working over radar. Sweats were visible at the crew forehead. He gulped then answered; "Sir, it appears that our fleet has entered at unrecognized places .. by looking over the radar, the other fleet of another task force doesn''t show up over the radar. Yet, the captain issued there are no any visible of the American shore, even silhouette of it.." the man spoke with bravery, but still his heart racing with the rumor of going to another world. The commander in charge of the USS Wasp, Commander Joel W. Curtis, he stand still in the middle of the bridge, looking at the vast ocean. As time tell 7:00 A.M. it''s been a long day of thunderstorms and suddenly a bright sky shimmering above the horizon. Joel then walked to the bridge balcony, with binoculars he took from the crew, started sighting to see if the reports were true. Truly, there is no sight of silhouettes of the shore, even though they are still 121 miles long; even a silhouette of a merchant ship could be nice! Telling home is over There! At 7:15 A.M, the USS Wasp conducted patrol and reconnaissance across the area using the newly produced V. F4U Corsair; the faster speed makes it way much easier to patrol across the sea. Around 5, Corsair was dispatched to all directions. "All clear for departure!" as the man signaled to the Corsair for launch. The force of the Corsair became strong, and with the engine roaring inside, the Corsair gave a salute to the commander before he started flying. Soon all 5 Corsair fly straight up and on route to their designated route. "Hm, conduct an early training ?" Leonscloth looks at the Corsair flying above them and heads south. He felt confused and sensed something wrong had reached to them. "Look at that .." Leonscloth makes its way inside the bridge from the balcony as he heads inside. The crewman of the radar reported his eyes grew bigger, and nervousness could be seen in him; "Sir! Contact of unknown forces over East in 56 miles!"Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Leonscloth looks at him with realization; there is much obviously what is going on here. There''s something wrong has happened. The Washington issued of an unknown presence east of the convoy, as the Corsair start their reconnaissance. Exactly at 7:20, all ship were address of an unknown forces present nearly 30 miles at East from the Convoy. The fleet soon conduct readiness and as all crew from all ship goes to their battle station . With the convoy now are task to break formation from the Task Force and join with USS Atlanta, with USS Kidd, USS Laffey and USS Benson who are now established a defensive perimeter with Atlanta on front, Laffey and Benson over the right side, and Kidd over the port side. The group formation now left with three; USS Wasp, USS Wichita, USS Anchorage, USS Nicholas, USS Hamman as Fleet Force A, USS Ranger, USS Cleveland, USS Baltimore, and USS Hammann as Fleet Force B. USS Washington, USS Montpelier, USS San Francisco, USS New Orleans , USS Bristol and USS Farragut designated as Task Force Z, and lastly USS Bogue, USS Allen M. Sumner, USS Gearing, and USS Fletcher as Taffy 1 to conduct support and firepower. The convoy fleet of soldier and supplies were put in the middle, with support of escort by the three tasked naval ship, Atlanta, Laffey, Benson, and Kidd. A diamond defense perimeter was set over the convoy, with all the convoy ship were put over the middle. Over 12 miles to the East of the convoy ship was Taffy 1, providing air support and firepower to the escorted convoy fleet and to the other fleet as well. As Fleet Force A and Fleet Force B was designed to the Northeast and Northwest of the convoy ship. Making both of the fleet resembles as the Frontline and airpower to all of the fleet. As Fleet Force Z was then sail north from the convoy ship, becoming the flagship and confront the enemies and engaging. All ship sails straight north. .. The lone Corsair make it''s way to the East of the convoy ship. Nothing has Happened gratefully. As the light appeared imitating over the glass of the plane. Horizon creates a silhouette of the plane to the vast sea. He exhaled. "Oh .. what a good day. I shouldn''t be flying up here .. rather than sleep. I shouldn''t stay up late playing pokers.. " he sighs heavily. The lone Corsair continues his way to the East, and all of a sudden, he sees something over the vast sea. A small piece, like an ant over the sea, resembles a ship. "What the .." then started to fly low, within 1,500 meters above the sea. To give a better view to him, and to ensure a clear view to him. As he start conduct reconnaissance towards the unknown ship that sails like a straight line heading east. As he gradually get closer, a warship of a kind a resembles them. But not a kind resembles from other nations.. looking the gun armament and design, They are quite similar to the Americans.. looking at the old navy ship from 1890 to 1923. It looked, but he can''t ensure it was an allies. As weird design appear over the ship. "Sir! The pilot stated around 8 unknown ships were heading straight to the convoy! But it appears the ship isn''t from any recognized country." The crew spoke, and soon, the report caught the commander''s ears; he walked to the crew. "Tell me more, son." His eyes fixated on the radar and waiting for the sailor to continue the report made by the pilot. "He stated, a fleet consist of 8 warship. He said, the warship are similar to the old US navy warship throughout the 1890 to 1923 he said. The kind of them and similarities are 75% , and weird design of model appeared over the warship." The commander left in disbelief and dumbfounded, an old navy? Why would even a fleet consist of an old warship sailing across the sea. Yet even .. didn''t much of the old naval warship was scrambled and turn into a new warship to 1935 upwards version ..? The commander trying to relax his mind a bit, then he spoke; "Ask again for clarification. Tell more about the ship identification and try to fly pass below them, and see their reaction." The crew nodded and start delivering message over the Corsair. 5 minutes has passed, with only circling the fleet. As message were told from the carrier, the pilot goes a bit closer for further inspection. As seen, the gun armament and how the sailor uniform were different, as told the gun armament was the same, No. As further close inspection, it was rather like the an old cruiser ship, similar as the USS Olympia with its 35 caliber gun on front. "Heck .. of almighty." The pilot give a disbelief, why would such an old navy of the US sailing? But .. is it truly the US?. Upon more inspection, the leading cruiser was followed with the same models of the leading cruiser as well and at the middle were much different. It was like putting a big gun on a smaller ship .. the monitor class ..a big gun put on both port and bow. Soon the pilot write his report at his paperboard. But before he send the message. He start lower his climb, approximate 20 meters from the sea. As he gradually increase his speed approach the warship in column. At that time, a soldier was task in cleaning duty. Upon hearing a buzzing sound, he kept his cool and thought it''s just probably nothing. But the buzzing sound suddenly becomes a hum, and the unmusical remainder . As the roaring sound closer, the sailor spotted an unfamiliar object.. a flying metal ship? "Unknown object!" a man screamed towards the officer. The officer look out from his bridge, looking the lone plane rush to them. "What a kind of a plane is that .. conduct defensive perimeter!" at the command of the officer. All saailor on board start going to their position, manning the 35 caliber gun and aim at the flying Corsair. The slow aiming of the caliber makes an open way for the Corsair to get close. As some shot their rifle to the Corsair, but luckily didn¡¯t hit. As a result; ¡°The fuck ..!¡± the pilot fired a warning shot to the leading ship. Deliberately not the hit the ship as a warn shot. As he swam in close, the 35 caliber almost aim at the plane but because of the slow mechanism. Soon the Corsair fly right above them, creating tension and shock within sailors. Such a fast aviation .. the steel bird gradually passed them, as the pilot fly right below the officer ship, a great insignia resembles the aircraft force, spelling **USAF**. As the white star over the body of the aircraft and wings. ¡°Wh-what the heck is that ... That fighter plane .. is seemingly much more faster and firepower than ours..¡± The officer replied with an awe but shock. As the pilot climbing his rate again, seeing all the warship locking their gun at the lone Corsair. ¡°That¡¯s enough..¡± the pilot relaxed him after an almost lost, even though his aircraft is much faster. Soon he return back to the Aircraft Carrier. The unknown force still let out a fire to the fleeing Corsair but missed. The officer stood still looking at the fleeing Corsair, before giving all of his sailor to stop shooting. His right hand command also in shock, but a new command directed by the officer himself telling to his right hand command; ¡°Report this to the headquarter .. unknown force detected fleeing to northwest ..¡± The right hand command nodded and salute; ¡°Will do, sir!¡±. The officer still couldn¡¯t move on, as cold sweat running through his forehead and then side of his cheek. He knew it¡¯ll be a blast if the Corsair didn¡¯t purposely hit the warship. He strength his grip over the railway. With rather determination, but feared among the unknown presence. .. ¡°Sir! The Corsair from the East requesting for landing.¡± the crew reported. The commander suddenly awake and stood up, fixing his coat. ¡°Alright, give him the green command. Let¡¯s hear from him.¡± He goes outside the bridges, appears over the balcony with binoculars on him hand, looking at the flying Corsair that flying around the ship in a circle. Soon the aircraft landed safely, and the pilot was told to go to the bridge to report all of the information he have. He took his paperboard with him. His face was in full of enthusiasm but inconspicuous expression. As he walk in the bridge, every crew look at him. The pilot salute; ¡°Sir.¡± The commander look at him and told to step in. ¡°What have you brought me, Sergeant Collins.¡± He look at him. Soon Collins gave him the paperboard, full of information and a picture of the fleet . With Collins continue with his information he gave as he see about it, all information was given as the commander looking through the paperboard. ¡°Again .. I couldn¡¯t be sure if it was from the navy.¡± Collins stated. ¡°You couldn¡¯t be sure?¡± the commander looked at him and put the paperboard aside. Waiting clarification from the pilot. Collins gives a thought again, then he is ready to answer; ¡°As I start flying closer, the unknown forces try to shoot me with their rifle, as their main caliber start gaining elevation, but much slower. I shot a warning to them, make them scared a bit.¡± He said. Again, he spoke, ¡°Seems like they don¡¯t have an anti-aircraft gun.¡± The commander soon nodded in acknowledgment. The commander left in his head, thinking the possibilities. Soon, he told Collins to rest and thank him for his great work in providing info. As he scratches his head, ¡°Tell this to Leonscloth about our information.¡± The crew nodded and started sending a message to USS Washington via telecommunications. ¡°Report, sir!¡± made Leonscloth suddenly startled. He approaches the telecommunications crew as he gets closer. The sailor gave him a text of information about the unknown presence of force. ¡°It appears we got information about the unknown force that appear in our radar also.¡± The sailor told to him; ¡°Thank you son.¡± He took the message and read it. As given much more information, Leonscloth acknowledges all of it, also in thought, but his thoughts are already faster than him, knowing it¡¯s not Earth anymore. With this evidence, his thoughts become true and positive. ¡°Get ready, ready for combat action,¡± Leonscloth command his crew. Soon the captain of the Washington rang a bell and informed To get ready with their battle station. ¡°Engaged if needed, tell Commander Hawther to send his aircraft over the unknown forces ..¡± the telecommunications guy understood and started sending via communication Western Union Off the Coast of Weinno, Naval Command Base ¡°Admiral, we have a report of an unknown aircraft intercepting the Seventh Fleet and then fleeing to the Northwest. It appears to be a blue-painted aircraft with a symbol of a white star over the body and wings, and the insignia resembles USAF,¡± the soldier reported. His face showed signs of unease, indicating a possible incoming threat. ¡°The hell¡­¡± he said, putting his hand over his head. ¡°Do we know the origin of the aircraft?¡± he asked, with a frustrated reaction visible on his face. No .. it¡¯s impossible that the Kaiserreich has begun their conquest to the Thalorian. But .. is it them? It can¡¯t be. Their Mighty forces weren¡¯t truly well established in aviation but rather in naval superiority. The Admiral gave a thought himself. As silence, we fill the command room. ¡°We can¡¯t let an unknown force suddenly appear in our area.¡± The admiral speaks with enthusiasm as his heart races. He knew the air force didn¡¯t have aircraft but rather a wyvern. With the production of the new experimental aircraft ongoing, he can¡¯t let it happen within the territories. No unknown forces will enter the territory; ¡°All squadron prepare. 3rd, 7th and 12th Wyvern Squadron.¡± Also, send the First Fleet to support the Seventh Fleet.¡± During that time, all the personnel from the naval base worked really hard, while their efficiency with preparing preparations was very fast and disciplined. ¡°All squadron dispatch!¡± the personnel giving a clear to take off. As all the assigned Wyvern Squadron flew up right into the skies, and headed to the area to catch up the unknown forces. ¡°Loud and thunder!¡± the captain giving a call sign to his force, as all the pilot replied; ¡°Loud and clear, sir!¡±. The departure of the squadron and the First Fleet make a confusion with the Weinno people. As lively cheers were directed to the naval and air force. But still they don¡¯t what will the forces will be faced. As many crowd look over the departure of the fleet. ¡°Having a trouble eh. ?¡± a man in a black suit, looking with the departure of the First Fleet. Then, a second man responded; ¡°They have left the city unguarded.¡± The man in the black suit, soon answer; ¡°Only the garrison left. May luck with them. At 7:48 A.M, USS Wasp, USS Ranger and USS Bogue soon send their aircraft to intercept the unknown navy that keep getting close with the convoy fleet. With 12 Aircraft of SBD Dauntless, carrying one 500 kg Bomb, and two 250 kg Bomb. With the Ranger sends out the 12 F6F Hellcat to provide air support as well the Bogue, 8 TBF Avenger, carrying a torpedo below their aircraft. Still not all aircraft were sent as seen it could be done within the aircraft strike. With all aircraft soon are launch off from the deck, the strength force of 20 Aircraft assigned as Strike Group, and the 12 F6F as the Support Group. Sound of the rumbling of their engine roaring towards the sky. Fast and powerful. The steel birds of the Strike Group raise their altitude of 2000 meters high up above, in a V shape-flying formation. With the Hellcats over their side to provide support among the strike forces. ¡°Look at them, shines through the bright sea!¡± as one of the dive bomber spotted the unknown forces that¡¯s heading towards their fleet. One again continue speaked; ¡°Do you truly believe we¡¯re on another world?¡± a question asked. Another pilot then respond to the answer. ¡°Its in front of your eyes, Danny. No America and no more Canada. Yet, an unknown fleet.¡± As soon reaching the target, the TBF fly lowers, until reaching an altitude of 20 meters from the sea. With the Dauntless still flying over the 2000 meters altitude. Nonetheless, the flying V formation now was break into 6 column formation with 2 of Dauntless targeting their main primary. With the TBF attacking all main target, nothing were left but target. Their roaring engines slowly being realized by the naval fleet. With all aircraft increasing their speed. ¡°Enemies aircraft!¡± as one of the sailor shouted. Hearing all crew onboard. Panic were brought to the scene as all of the crew rushes towards their battle station. The leading ship soon getting ready their armament, as their 35 caliber gun slowly elevating and aim at the heading TBF. ¡°All crew ready!¡± the officer spoke. Nervous and tension were brought to the scene. Cold sweats appear on everyone, with their heart racing faster, as if their heart about to get off from their body. Again, and again, the tension sparkled among the crew, as waiting for the officer command to begin, ¡°Aims at the heading aircraft!¡± shot was fired from the rifle by the crew. Almost the 35 caliber gun didn¡¯t fired, within second before firing it¡¯s firepower, the column of the Dauntless consist around 2 SBD, diving in, reaching 200 km/h. Flap were deployed to reduce the drag and speed, creating a time to aim well over the target. Reaching the altitude of 150 meter. Fear was caught, in a matter of second . The ship will be in attack, from divers and torpedo. Seconds before the firing, the 500 kg bomb explode after hitting the port side of the ship, creating a massive explosion around the fleet. With the second 500 kg bomb then dropped, hitting the 35 caliber gun on stern, penetrate until explode within the ammo room. A large fire and exploding were creating, sending ashes and debris falling right into the ocean, fire spread across the wood platform and many are struggling with the fire, and injured within the explosion. ¡°Great hit, Dawson.¡± The Dauntless pilot replied upon their hits, and soon regain their altitude. Soon followed by a TBF Avenger, releasing it¡¯s massive torpedo over the heavy damage warship. Hit was established, with the hit around the starboard side, making the ship soon falls over the right and gradually slowly sinking. Massive splashes can be seen. Soon, the leading ship are left to sunk. ¡°No !¡± disbelief across all the fleet, shocks and terrified as the leading ship already sunk within 5 seconds. They know they need to act fast to defended their self. Soon all warship sends it¡¯s shell to the incoming aircraft, but it didn¡¯t work, it was not an anti-aircraft shell. It was useless. With all crew using their rifle trying to hit the aircraft yet shells didn¡¯t even hit as the ship slow and bad aiming, but with the faster Dauntless aircraft flying, as well the TBF, they avoiding the shell and bullet incoming to them. ¡°Fire everything we all got !¡± as the officer instructed their man to giving all their shot to prevent the aircraft to get closer. As the second and third fly above the second and third warship within their formation, the 4 SBD¡¯s were ready to rolling down to their enemies and conduct diving to the enemy warships. The air was cold , as the pilot feeling the breeze as the sound of the shells and bullets flying across them; ¡°Goddamn, do they even know how to shoot?¡± he chuckled, as he look to the sea with the situation going over the warship. ¡°Bet they panicked.¡± The gunner responded to the pilot; ¡°Sure they¡¯ll do now.¡± The pilot grin, then followed a diving roll to the enemies warship, as the third column follows the second. All 4 SBD¡¯s from the second and third column condemn a diving bombing to the target. As panicked and fears were brought over the deck, knowing the aftermath if the bomb were drop by the incoming aircraft. ¡°All- All !! Shoot the in-incoming aircraft ..!!¡± the panicked officer were brought in fears with tears and sweats running down his cheek. Knowing this probably the last day ever he could see world. All soldier were also in fear but they could only shoot and hope to remain survive.. did they? As the Dauntless dropped their bomb upon reaching the altitude, and regain their altitude back, the 500 kg bomb struck the warship, resulting a big explosion, eventually following the 250 kg¡¯s soon struck an enormous explosion as hit the ammo room below the deck. Resulting the 2nd and 3rd warship in heavy condition, after 4 of 500 kg, and 8 of 250 kg. As time pass by, the warship slowly began to sink , but soon the TBF Avenger struck the warship port side making the warship sink faster. As no one were spare as the F6F Hellcats also joining the fight giving the enemies a hell of rain bullet to the warship . The battle was fought hard, with all dauntless continue it attacks after attack. The aftermath , all warship was struck to defeat, as every single of the warship having a result of heaving damage and sinking. It was useless, the modernized aircraft from the US Navy was far more better. The Seventh Fleet sent out to their defeated, as all crew that manage to survive were left to death of the cause cannot swimming, and due to cannot afloat. The remain structure of the warship soon finish with the Dauntless dropping their 250 kg bomb. Again, ashes and debris fallen into everywhere. Smoke of the explosion, can be seen from the heading First Fleet and the Wyvern Squadron, but they were too late. As all ship were left to sunk and still in fire, the group of the assigned force decided to take it as objective complete and head back to the aircraft carrier. .. ... That''s were the first engagement. Of the United States Military Forces .. th e 2nd Armored Division against the another world force .. shall we seek what happen on another chapter? .. Part 1 : Heavy Duty ea of Artermia, 20 KM of the Coast of Artemia The wind tore through the convoy, whistling sharply as it raced past the ships. Waves rose and crashed against the decks, each impact causing the vessels to lurch and strain as if the sea itself were testing their resolve. Overhead, dark clouds rolled in, heavy and menacing, a sure sign that a violent storm was drawing near. As the incident remind back the sudden interruption from the Western Union Fleet that were going to going towards the Task Force direction. The Seventh Fleet were already devastated within 14 minutes of firefight. The following that day, as the First Fleet and the couple of the Wyvern Squadron finally arrived .. they were sadden to see that one of their strongest fleet were wiped out as the remaining crumbles hull of one of the ship were visible. Tons of dead body afloat and scattered around the area .. with flames still burning up caused by the oil spill .. the scene brought tears as the crew yet pilot from the First Fleet and the Wyvern Squadron seeing their dead brothers completely abolished .. yet the remaining lives of the crew from the Seventh Fleet were quickly rescued from the water and head back to Weinno .. The task force and the convoy were still on their way on the open sea .. with the interruption still remind the Admiral Leonscloth .. Major General Brooke D. Thompson.. and Captain Joel W. Curtis .. seeing the sudden unknown forces that they didn¡¯t even know were abolished without thinking a second .. yet after a week of sailing on the open sea .. finally there¡¯s hope to catch , until one of the scout plane detected a nearby Island, that were just 20 KM from their fleet position .. ¡ª ¡° A land ?¡± Joel look at his radar operator report about the discovery about a land that were just 20 KM from their position, exactly west from the fleet position.. As a new hope sparks, for their to settle for .. it¡¯s not fun being on the open sea for so long. As threat could be engage again out of nowhere .. .. Day 1 Principality of Artemia . A small kingdom that were ruled by Princess Scylla that located at the Normandia Continent .. Artemia were once a part of the kingdom of Bastallion. Principality of Artemia were known for their resources as iron, gold, food and much more. With a multiple races that lived there. As one princess manage to gain power from times to times until a majority and 2/4 of the kingdom territories were under the Principality of Artemia . Kingdom of Bastallion were soon conquered by the Kingdom of Tal-Mien . A conquest followed by a ruthless siege. Much of the royal monarch, civilian, and soldier fled into Principality of Artemia. With Artemia the only country left, being surrounded by all direction .. with ocean is their only option to leave and escaped. But the princess didn¡¯t fall down yet, as she insist the fight and hold up the overwhelming force from Tal-Mien. With roughly .. 45,000 soldier .. they only could defend each of their town and city .. as waiting hope to be given to them. Meanwhile the Tal-Mien with their much more far better technologies from the Artemia, with catapult, trebuchet and ballista, with 100,000 strong soldier ready to siege. The tense air filled every citizen of the principality itself. But they do have not choice to surrender, or not have a time to escape the encirclement. Even so escape is a great idea, but it would take days or weeks to complete .. yet, the enemy far better technologies of weapon and warfare could make the principality fallen in 3 to 4 days of conquest if no any defensive position located. They don¡¯t have no choice .. but to fight. As spoken, the first day of the siege has started. From city to another city fallen .. with ruthless torture .. and the rape of the women in the city .. by the hand of the dirty Tal-Mien .. all cried, knowing the enemies would not let go of them .. the city was full with abrupt flames .. as scorching in heat .. ¡ª ¡° Please d-don¡¯t ..! T-take me instead..! Not my daughter ..!! ¡° the mother cried upon the enemies feet as she bowed down with her daughter on her back .. tears welled up on her face .. letting them to have ¡°fun¡± with her instead rather than her daughter She continue to plead .. the soldier there was already enjoying the scene, followed with laugh and lustful thought. The city itself were already destroyed, nothing left to do but to have ¡°fun¡± before continuing on their rampage. ¡ª ¡° She¡¯s crying. ¡° as one of the soldier laughing, looking down at the single mother who bowed and pleading at his feet. He played a little, with his feet put at her head, resembles her dignity already destroyed with the soldier feet on her head, playing with her head. The laugh continue. The single mother truly didn¡¯t enjoy this insult were given towards her .. but she has no choice to sacrifices for her own daughter . After loss her husband during the siege of the city .. she can¡¯t hold much more how hurt she are . One of the soldier soon grinned, as lust could be seen over his face. ¡ª ¡° Say .. we have fun with the mother. Also .. her daughter. ¡° he spoke. The mother look up ahead, shocking to hear the fact that even her sacrifices in her own body didn¡¯t fully satisfied they yet. ¡ª ¡° Please ..! Not my daught-!¡± before she could end her sentences, her face got stomp by the soldier. Her daughter cried also, as the soldier quickly grabbed them and head towards the abandoned house . Even so, the two of them .. the mother and the daughter cried on their way as the soldier pushed them towards the abandoned house. One ripped of the shirt of the victims. The mother were horrified with the intention of the soldier already, looking down laughing and clearly enjoy this insult towards her daughter and herself. As one abusively hitting her and one start doing rape towards her daughter, and .. herself. All could be heard from the outside was no much but screaming of pain , hopeless and laughing of the soldier itself. It¡¯s cruel how they use the local citizen for their own satisfied tools as the men were tortured until death and .. the women were raped and used for their tools for satisfy. Their face are now hopeless, as the scream faded. The gangbang were horrible .. the mother all could do is holding her daughter hand as she also face the same situation. Eventually, before both of them got excuted.. their body were drench in sweat, with the liquid of the ejaculation , and torn-up vagina. Their body feel numb and their jaw hurting.

No expression. ¡ª ¡° Mo-mother.. !¡± her cried getting loud. Seeing her mother were already dead from the ¡°experience¡± she got . The screaming of tears suddenly catch the soldier attention for being loud. Soon her fate would followed the same as her mother. As one of the soldier slay their sword upon the young girl. Their body were left on the abandoned house. The death of the mother and the girl. Seeing how ruthless the enemy soldier are .. the men insisted to fight and die with their defending their city or town from the enemies brutal torture and raping. Meanwhile the man and husband of their spouse holding back their position, all of the women and children were told to left the city to escape the brutal session that will do by the enemies. Day Four, The conquest has now reach multiple city, as their rampage and ruthless warfare leading the downfall of morale for each soldier and citizen .. all left was a couple of city, towns .. and eventually the capital city. Most of the women and children and Nobel were already left the capital city and seek refuge towards another kingdom that were already being friendship with Artemia. The princess never leaves her castle . As she insisted on fighting on the enemies and die on this place. ¡ª ¡° Princess ..! You need to leave this place as soon as possib- ¡° the knight word stop by the princess. She stood up and look at him, her eyes filled with desperate but flame tormented in her eyes .. resembles the will to keep on fighting. ¡ª ¡° I will not .¡± she look on him, as everyone around the room followed. Then she continues.. ¡°If so, I¡¯ll rather die fighting those pitiful sinful person. Get your gear arm, knight !¡± the determination lead over their eyes.. with their main mission to lead the princess out of the principality, but then replaced with hopes to fight. The princess also wear her own armored. As the enemies could been seen to be prepared with their siege .. ¡° soon they¡¯ll attack out of nowhere .. with those trebuchet and catapult ..¡± she said. The knight nod in acknowledgment. As he stood beside her, from the balcony that have a view of the whole city itself. ¡ª¡± I .. understand princess.¡± He look at her, soon the princess followed a small smile looking at the knight itself. ¡ª ¡° I¡¯m sorry. If our wedding preparation were disturbed by those sinful person.¡± Her eyes were like almost teared up .. but she look at him again, looking at her most loved person.. ¡°I love you ¡° she continued. The knight soon smile upon her words. Knowing her love and embrace for him was eternal. He look forward again, seeing the view of the enemies preparing their siege. ¡ª ¡° We shall get ready .. my love .¡± he spoke. The princess hides her own flustered face away .. soon a determined face pop up on her face. She also look towards her front, the main wall of the city. .. ¡­ Soon .. the city was besiege .. but it was much harder for the enemies to penetrate the main wall and the heavy defense that the Artemia soldier provided. It were enough for them to hold out as much of the civilian .. mostly women and children were departed from the main city and seek refuge towards another kingdom that already has relationship with, .. but soon it all stopped as the enemies warship as entered the city main port and waters, making the withdrawal of the women and children impossible. All citizen then we¡¯re left to the city, and scared knowing the enemies finally got them .. from the sea and the land .. ¡­ all they did was prayed .. waiting for help that would arrive .. USS Wasp, 16 KM of the Coast of Artemia, The scene now took in the bridge of USS Wasp, with Captain Joel W. Curtis looking at their own problem now . The scout plane that were just arrived reported about the land that they were about to settle was in a conquering phase . With the photos provided ..giving a clear and visible the currently situation. Most of the picture that were showed are the aftermath of the battle from the city and town that left burning. Most notable, the siege of the main city. ¡ª ¡° I guess .. those people would fall in a matter of hours .¡± one of the officer on the bridge speak. The situation on the room filled with tense pressure, after looking at the city via photos that were provided. The heavy silence between everyone soon break, as Captain Joel speak up. ¨C ¡°Report this to Admiral Leonscloth, we can¡¯t act own on this situation .. ¡° the commander gives the information towards the radio operator. Soon, information was received in USS Washington ..the flagship of the whole fleet. A soldier running down the long hall of the ship, as the admiral weren¡¯t on the bridge. With the information on his hand, the cold sweat running down his forehead as he keep searching for him. And finally, he was able to located the admiral. It was on his own room. ¡ª ¡° Admiral ..! ¡° the young officer spoke. He salute as he stepped in the admiral room. The admiral were just finished his cigar. His reaction slow but not tense, as he turn his gaze towards the young officer. Apparently, he was not frustrated because of not knocking and asking for permission like the other admiral of commander would be. He was cool though, because he already sense wrong is already closing to them. ¡°Speak.¡± he command.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. The young officer soon gave him the letter about the information. ¡ª ¡°We got a report from USS Wasp .. one of their scout plane detected a nearby land that were just west from us. But following the information given .. it seems the land were a territory for a country or kingdom they said ..¡± the young officer look at the admiral with tense. Knowing obviously that the gossip of the crew about they were in another world were true .. The admiral continue to read the information as the young officer spoke. He put the letter away as he look at the young officer. ¨C ¡° and about the conquest of another country toward the territory itself right? ¡° the admiral look at him. Soon he replied back; ¡° Yes, sir. It seems .. the land were talking were belong towards another country and we¡¯re in a conquest between their enemies .. looking down the situation.. it may look .. they already losing. Notable .. it seems their weapon warfare travelled back to the medieval area .. ¡° The situation were recalled of the conquest of Tal-Mien towards Artemia. Even though they don¡¯t know the name of the Principality and the kingdom and were though it was just the usual country . The admiral raised on of his eyebrow as the young officer mention medieval era. It¡¯s true, that most of the kingdom at the Normandia Continent were mostly in medieval area. Soon the admiral walk to the bridge as the young officer followed from his back. His presence tense everyone upon the bridge. ¨C¡° I know you guys already knew about it.¡± He look at the radio operator then, ¡°remind Major General Brooke D. Thompson for readying his troop .. we may have a intervention between those country fight.¡± His command were clear and loud. With the operator then sends the information about the situation they have right now, with the direct order from the admiral to readying his troop for further intervention if needed .. As minutes passed by, the whole fleet already knew about this current situation. As they sailed towards the East and heads towards the Coast of Artemia. A squadron of 12 F6F Hellcats from the USS Ranger, a squadron of 11 V. F4U Corsair , from USS Wasp, and 6 SBD Dauntless from the Bouge, were already prepared their planes over their flight deck .. checking for fuel and weapon load out armaments. Admiral Leonscloth and Major General Brooke D. Thompson were the lead figure for this operation, meanwhile Commander Joel W. Curtis from USS Wasp, Commander Hawther from USS Ranger, and Commander Leonard Forsche of the USS Bouge .. their figure were given responsibility for the air operator and the support attack. If the intervention needed .. the planes were still on standby from their flight deck, waiting for the result to be given by Major General Brooke, or Admiral Leonscloth. With Leonscloth arrived at the convoy ship were Major General Brooke stayed , followed with Captain Joel, Captain Hawther, and Captain Leonard .. the quick session of meeting on the convoy ship soon started .. meanwhile there¡¯s another delegate for the commander over the bridge .. leading the ship now. After a small and quick meeting, Admiral Leonscloth requested a destroyer squadron to go ahead into much closer towards the Coast of the Artemia .. with USS Laffey, USS Gearing, USS Farragut and USS Kidd designated as Destroyer Squadron .. soon fall and break from their current formation .. and continue with their mission which are sails ahead near the shore and clear out any unwanted obstacles that could hold out the landing operation and find a suitable landing site. Soon the four destroyer already leave their position from each task force and taffy, and sail towards the target. The F6F Hellcats , V. F4U Corsair, and the Dauntless still remain on standby as waiting for a clearance to fly. Meanwhile at the convoy troop ship, Major General Brooke D. Thompson instructed of a regiment, consist around 2,500 troops and 10 ¡°Easy Eight¡± Sherman¡¯s . The 1st Regiment were also on a hold of standby, waiting for the clearance from the Major General himself, as most of them already aboard the LVT-4 (Water Buffalo), and the LST¡¯s for the Sherman¡¯s . .. ... It seems they will followed the battle soon .. following the intervention between the fight and clashes of Tal-Mien and Artemia. USS Kidd, (Lead Ship) 5 Kilometers from the Coast of Artemia The day broke clear and bright, the clock striking 9:00 a.m. Four destroyers cut through the calm waters, tasked with scouting the nearby coast of Artemia. Their mission: to find a suitable landing site for an approaching force and clear out any obstacles that could ruin the whole operation. In the distance, a thick veil of grayish-black clouds loomed, a stark reminder that the siege was far from over. The capital, battered but unyielding, still stood its ground against the onslaught. The four destroyers moved in a disciplined line formation, their sleek hulls cutting through the waves with precision. Leading the group was the USS Kidd, its imposing silhouette a symbol of readiness and resolve as it spearheaded the scouting mission along the coast. Formation: Straight Line Front: USS Kidd Second: USS Laffey Middle: USS Farragut Back: USS Gearing ¡°We¡¯re now 5 KM from the shore, Commander !¡± as the radar operator reported. Yes, they could see the shore now, as a thick heavily grey-ish flocked cloud appears on the skies, resembles a fight has been started. The commander, nodded in acknowledged. The four destroyer still sails deeper into the principality territories . The sound were quiet but no rather than the sound of the waves clashes with their dock. All sailor was on the standby, watching the current .. the destroyer squadron sails ahead towards the shore until they turn starboard and their position were horizontally from the shore. The four destroyer were scouting for a possible threat that could do towards the landing craft .. and any suitable landing position rather than those rocky hill. We ain¡¯t doing the marine Okinawa stuff .. Their sails caught the attention of the Tal-Mien ship .. their ship was similar towards the medieval era type ship .. with cannons on their port and starboard side .. but still the four destroyer didn¡¯t caught before because they weren¡¯t that large like those Tal-Mien ship .. The crew really liking the view. A huge ship .. the similar appearance of the Man-O-War ship type. Seems like .. it was their flagship. Talk were heard among crew and sailor, talking about the huge fleet over there port side, currently doing a bombardment. .. ¡­ ¡ª ¡°Look at that.¡± A young sailor speak. As his friend over his side, speak also. ¡°Damn ship. They got .. like .. 34 ships in total !¡± he shouted. The two were best friend, since childhood. Their journey would capture the greatest moment they have recall.. yet a sudden, an alarm break off within the ship. As the alarm break off. A large of splashes were scattered around them .. luckily not hitting. Further into the scene ..it was actually a cannon .. that¡¯s been fired from that Man-O-War.. signaling readying for battle. As expected.. the veteran of the destroyer quickly manned their position , as the alarm kept whistling. ¡ª ¡° Its seems .. our position has been caught, Commander.¡± The officer spoke. As he look again towards the huge fleet port side of them. Currently doing bombardment. But now they are engaging the US Ship. It wasn¡¯t take long for them to take notice .. it wasn¡¯t an ordinary ship .. but rather a steel metal ship sailing around and observing their position of doing bombardment ..?! .. The scene took in the Man-O-War ship ¡­ it¡¯s not a similar Man-O-War but similar.. a huge fleet with 34 ships, with 3 of them are the Man-O-War type .. A heavily decorated captain, looking at his own monocular towards the 4 ship sailing across them. The heavily decorated was telling him was an old-veteran of their royal navy. Soon, young one speak; ¡ª ¡° Does it hit, sire? ¡° the young officer .. looks like he was an assistant towards their captain. He ask, also looking at the destroyer squadron. All sailor observe the view .. mean while some of them still engaging with the bombardment. The captain stop looking at his monocular. ¡ª ¡° No it didn¡¯t. But we sure did get their attention. ¡° the captain spoke. Not even scared by those four destroyer. Because he thought it was just a small ship .. rather it was more longer than the Man-O-War. Believing in their own self esteem .. as egoist rush deep down their blood .. knowing they could handle the four small metal ship. With a light chuckles, he sends a ship of its own to confront it. Wanting the four ship to surrender towards the Tal-Mien. A ship was then departed and break away from her position. As sailing towards the four destroyer. An attempted was made, even so they were confronting four ¡°small¡± ship, they thought .. they thought it was a small fight with their egoism . Knowing their fleet is much bigger than those four destroyer .. even so, they never met a metal ship .. they could get a hand on one of those, the captain spoke. As he sends out his one ship to confront the destroyer and demand to surrender. I can¡¯t believe that they¡¯ll face the reality of the destroyer rather their own imagination of a small metal ship with small cannon. .. ¡­ ¡ª ¡° Commander ! ¡° everyone on the bridge of USS Kidd were left shock to see their braveness of the enemy itself. Again, the crew then reported the sight; ¡°Bearing 248 ! A vessel are now approaching us ! ¡° the loud shout were heard among the crew. The Commander of the USS Kidd then observing the view from the bridge balcony, with the binocular on his hand. Yet, it was true. A lone vessel were approaching them. Seeing with binocular, an army of soldier standing on the vessel with weapon their raised over their head, with mouth chanting their always succession . ¡° Commander ! ¡° a young crewman called him, then he continued; ¡° Commander of USS Farragut, demanded for a quick action. ¡° The commander raised his arm slight above the chest area, as he meant to put on hold of the call that were take. He look again, at the lone vessel, approaching close towards their line formation .. approximate 987 meters from the formation. As the commander was still observing, the lone vessel start firing it¡¯s cannon from the front, as the arrow were released by the archers from the enemies of the lone vessel. Seconds before an act happen.. he look at the young crewman who were holding the radio that were communicated with the commander of the USS Farragut .. A loud cheers and smirk raised upon the soldier. As one of them, raised their sword . ¡°Remember ! We shall take those ship no matter what ! Glory to the Tal-Mien !¡± The leaders of the ship spoke, giving a speech for their assault towards the middle formation ship, USS Farragut. With loud cheers and chant , they were ready. To give all they got towards Farragut. ¡ª ¡° Give em¡¯ hell of what you got ! You¡¯re clear for taking out an obstacle in the way ! ¡° A rain of arrows were fired upon the Farragut. With their front cannon fired, missed an inch of the stern of the ship. Even so, it didn¡¯t do anything, but luckily no any soldier were harm from the sudden attack. As the vessel start getting much closer towards the Farragut, it turns into her starboard side, with all of the vessel starboard side aiming at the Farragut. ¡° Loud and clear ! Dismissed. ¡° the commander of the Farragut closed his communication. He look at his right hand command, giving a nod .. signaling to start attack the vessels. The front armament. Mark 12 5¡±/38-caliber gun , of the first and the second turning it¡¯s barrel towards the closing vessel. The soldier of the vessel itself were prepared to ram their self over the Farragut and take in command of the ship. But .. as the two of cannon already turning it¡¯s gun, and aim perfectly at the vessel. A shot was fired from the first and second Mark 12 5¡±/38-caliber gun. Without a second, as their fuse of the cannon already started .. but it was far too late. The first shot from the first front armament easily penetrate the hull of the wooden vessel. But lightly damage as the wood easily to be penetrate. But the second shot from the second front armament of the Mark 12 5¡±/38-caliber gun hit the port side of the vessel. Creating a large explosion towards the whole ship. With fire already start spreading within the deck .. and finally the whole ship. Followed by the Anti Air Gun, the ¡°Bofors¡± start shooting upon the whole ship. Devastating the whole soldier and the crew of the vessel.. within 25 seconds into the firefight. The lone vessel already sunken into the deep ocean. The crew of the Farragut really give a hell out of them. Within 30 seconds.. the vessel already sunken to ocean grounds. Seeing the threat already eliminated. The commander command them cease fire. All the weapon armament of the Farragut stopped, as waiting for the next action. The sailor were quick .. reloading back their gun before sit tightly their self towards their battle station. ¡ª ¡° Threat eliminated. Shall we continue the operation ? ¡° he gave a slight chuckles within his voice. The commander of the Farragut reported back to the lead ship, after confirming. The commander of the USS Kidd reported the incident that were already taken .. about the obstacles they have faced that could be a threat toward the landing operation. .. ¡­ USS Washington ¡ª ¡° A report ! From the Kidd. ¡° he gave the information to Leonscloth hand. He give a yet stern look towards the information. An attack? From who? .. he said in mind. A large fleet .. within the area of the landing operation .. approximate 34 vessels .. a wooden warship .. equip with cannon .. soldier and archers on their deck. Leonscloth look with confused .. he look around the bridge. Everyone was already waiting him for the next command. A yet determination face could be seen from all faces. The four destroyer slowed their speed, as waiting for the next command from the lead ship of the fleet. ¡ª ¡° S-sir ! Rayhold ship were sent to obliterated ! ¡° he reported towards the leader. A confused yet shock were shown from his face. He could not trust that his well renowned navy friend was already terminated .. how ? How ? How? .. the young crew spoke again ; ¡°They were .. defeated in 30 seconds into the firefight ..¡± he look down. He stood up, enraged by the report that he just heard. Seems like . . It weren¡¯t an ordinary metal ship that he already underestimated .. he walk up at the deck and look back upon the situation .. the four destroyer was rather slow paced .. as the crumble and left scattered wooden platform afloat at he sea .. he couldn¡¯t bear it .. ¡ª Legion A ! Commence an attack to those bastards ! ¡° he spoke. The loud voice were already heard .. yet the Legion A .. consist of one Man-O-War ship with .. 12 vessels were sails towards the destroyer squadron. A hateful and enrage warriors of the Tal-Mien .. as their courage and morale rose quickly.. after seeing their brother had fallen. The scene then caught the attention of all the four commander of the destroyer squadron. Still .. waiting the Leonscloth command .. after 2 minutes .. a new plan operation was called; ¡ª¡± Commander ! The flagship command us to continue to eliminating a possible threat toward our landing forces. A support were on their way .. as a squadron of 11 V. F4U was tasked ..helping the four destroyer with their support. But, aren¡¯t the four destroyer was enough to take care all of them? Yes. Obviously, no doubt. But .. the landing operation were already commence .. without thinking of waiting to eliminated the threat first . With the first departure of a squadron of 11 V. F4U Corsair heading towards the destroyer squadron location to help fight those bastards, and then cleared out the beach obstacles that were just north from the main capital .. next to a village. Soon, Operation Hammer was commence .. The roaring engines .. from the both squadron of the F6F Hellcats and the Dauntless. Both the flight deck of the Wasp and Bogue. The first regiment were already en route towards the landing area .. followed with the LST¡¯s . Both Force were stern .. but truly the Tal-Mien didn¡¯t have choice .. as all the Task Force .. Fleet A, Fleet B, Fleet Z, and Taffy 1 were already en route towards the landing area. Followed by the convoy and merchant ship. It was .. another battle .. The troops over the landing craft were stern .. their face was looking again with determination, knowing their enemies is just a medieval era type looking soldier .. but still, a casualties could be done if not handle it correctly. The waves clashes with the landing craft .. making dizziness and vomited among the troops. As the F6F Hellcats flew above from their landing craft. It was a beautiful scenery .. as the sun light reaches the whole scene.. as if a cinematic movie .. a hope spark within each soldier, as they kept praying to god, ensuring their safety upon this another world .. ..
