Calm Before the Storm II
Somewhere on the Ukrainian-Polish border
March 5, 2023, the,
Height 30 Thousand Feet, E-3 Sentry AWACS.
"Gentlemen, what's the status of Ukraine this morning?"
The Chief Officer in charge of air-to-ground communications on the aircraft began to approach the officer in charge of ground radar where he monitored ground movements for a full 12 hours on the flight.
"So far there is still no significant movement from the Bakhmut region, Wanger forces are still trying to push back Ukrainian forces who thankfully can be held by them"
"Stay close, report if there's a recent situation"
"understand"
The operation on the reconnaissance plane was still going on for the next two hours before the plane began to turn towards Hungarian territory where they would be watching other areas.
"Sir, the report from the Chief will be about any suspicious activity on the Polish border"
Said the communications officer where he got the transmission from NATO.
"Move it to my monitor"
On his monitor he saw the encryption message where there was an unknown movement in an uninhabited area of Poland.
'Activity?'
"Direct ground monitoring to the area"
His orders were to the officer who was overseeing the air-to-ground radar where their focus was towards that area.
No one knows what happened in the empty plains at the end of Poland, but certainly a distortion of visible light created and something that will come will change everything, especially about human perception in this universe.
...****************...
March 5, 2023, Bakhmut, Ukraine.
The destruction of the war between the two sides has engulfed the city in total destruction where as long as the eye can see only the debris of buildings and the former artillery fire that landed everywhere.
In the midst of a firefight between the positions of the Ukrainian 52nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade against the 127th Infantry Armored Battalion of the Russian Army, a soldier from the unitary unit of the 1st International Legion of Ukraine was from Tokyo, a member of the Russian Army, he looked up at the window where the bombardment from Russian artillery was still not abating.
'Huh..... They don't know surrender'
He thought as he looked at this situation, the large-scale war between Russia and Ukraine on February 24 last year brought worldwide attention to the biggest conflict since the end of Europe's second world war.
For the first time in history a multinational force of 55 countries was formed after thousands of volunteers came here to fight alongside Ukrainian forces.
'If we're lucky, we can stay here for two months before the counter-attack starts'
With the ground still muddy due to the winter, the two sides were unable to take any action other than being stuck in a static position where the artillery duel continued.
"Are you daydreaming about rights that don't matter?"
A man from the United States who was one division with him seemed a little sweaty when he ran to his position from the opposite building that looked like it was about to collapse, after all, he still had time to joke around in the rain of artillery that continued to come to their positions.
"Yes, because they still don't want to give up"
"Bro, Wagner I don't think he's in his right mind to send hundreds of humans to No-mans-land"
What he was saying was the reality that was now happening here, the Wagner mercenaries somehow they sent hundreds of people every day to the front lines as if they didn't care about the lives of their troops, made him a little fed up with this situation.
"Is there any new Intel from Intel's team?"
"So far as there's been no news, I just got from Aerial Drone, they're reporting a posibility for an attack from the southwest"
".... Do you think that they'll surround us from that direction?"
"See, but as I know, the 22nd Armored Unit has been deployed from the south, whatever they're planning, I'm not sure it's going to be a success"
"Is that so?"
"Yes"
The two of them began to shut up while watching from the window where the situation seemed to be conducive, the artillery rain started to stop and the situation temporarily felt very quiet.
"Too quiet" he said to the American.
"Agreed"
'Hn?'
Somehow he felt a little strange, the strangeness he thought happened just in the direction they did not expect.
("To all units in the area, we reported the presence of strange humans")
["This Command, to the unit, thousands of humans appear to be emerging from the south of Bakhmut, they seem to be in the middle of a costume party?"].
("Air units to ground units in the area, keep an eye on them, we don't know what and how the humans like from this Halloween party came, as soon as possible evacuate them")
Various reports of communication came as thousands of humans on horses wearing iron armor appeared to emerge from the middle of the city that had become this rubble.
...****************...
Elsewhere, the 2nd Company Unit, 5th Mechanized Infantry, appears to have troops led by First Sergeant Oprah begin to form a battle formation behind the trees.
"By Oprah's headquarters, we're about to invade the ruffians' territory that, according to reports, is holding civilians there, we also managed to secure one of the civilians who appears to be from Earth with the identity of Himura Hanayama, please request further directors"
["This Command, understandably, your report an hour ago has been received, Lieutenant General has confirmed that you are free to give gifts to them"]
In the middle of the wilderness, 400 meters away from the cave, it appeared that four Tanks had started directing the main cannon towards the entrance of the cave with the main prize ready to be delivered.
("Loader, Load HE/High Explosive munitions")
("HE, loaded, ready to fire!")
As he loaded the cannonball into Tank's main gun, Commander and Gunner began aiming at the cave's door, where dozens of humans were relaxing outside.
"Let's give them a surprise"
Oprah orders the Marines preparing to fire from the bush.
Two of the four Tanks looked like they were going to deliver the first attack on the man.
["Lase, firing"]
The 120mm Smooth Bore cannon was fired directly at those who were unaware of the Tank aiming its cannon at them earlier.
Explosions are created and****** dozens of people into the fire, panicked cries echo among them, as if Oprah was waiting for them all to come out, the marines who were impatient to pull the trigger started to run out of patience, as if Oprah was waiting for them all to come out, but to Oprah when she saw those who came out of the cave in the hundreds could only smile darkly.
"Fire!"
Bullets of various calibers were released along with M2-Bradley and LAV-25 coming out of the trees firing their cannons at a distance too close.
'......'
For Himura Hanayama to see this, deep in his heart he felt very happy, his revenge as if being avenged directly in front of his eyes.
'Kill them'
Speak in his heart to see this massacre, two girls who are natives of this world who fared the same as him before being saved by his world troops, he said, they stared at this only to be silent in horror as dozens of humans collapsed and were smashed to pieces by weapons they never knew.
"Keep firing!"
Oprah's orders to the Marines don't care about the bullets they spend.
"Target, start to split, don't let them come any closer!"
Jonathan said as he fired his M4
The robbers who did not expect such an attack fell into a panic and shock that made some of them freeze did not dare to move in the slightest.
'What's this!?'
In his eyes a yellow glint shot to his comrades and killed them very quickly, then from behind the trees a ground-shaking iron object approached them venting an explosion that ******* man into the fire he never knew what it was.
"Get Fire!"
When the situation begins to be conducive where as long as the eye looks just a pile of rigid bodies can be seen.
"Marine, come with me"
Jonathan orders on the two Marines who begin to stand, as a NCO Corporal he has an obligation to command at least 5 marines under his Rank.
Five Marines under Jonathan's orders started moving, and then Sergeant Oprah started moving in with the rest of the Marines checking every body in here
Jonathan and the marines began to enter the cave.
"Stay guarding the back"
They moved carefully looking at the entire cave with the illumination from the flashlight.
The cave which has a depth of about 79 meters from the entrance, contains a variety of loot and several bodies of women who have been lying lifeless.
"Copral, we're late"
Medical Remark when checking the vitality of the two girls. Jonathan could only shake his head at this.
One of the Marines who happened to be inspecting the pile of loot immediately shouted at the team when they found something.
"There's a survivor!"
The team quickly got rid of the objects that were piling up the body.
"Little boy, report it to Sergeant!"
"copy!"
A 12-year-old may be lying limp with a variety of stains that words cannot explain, the condition is the same as the two women who were there only the child was still fairly lucky.
The evacuation process was quite intense when outside where dozens of Marines saw firsthand the condition of the victims.
"that's ironic"
Oprah said when she saw the two women.
"Uhm... Sir"
Himura seemed about to say something to Oprah, Oprah only answered with a sledgehammer when she saw how the two women had died.
"We're late, forgive us, son, you're so lucky, we'll do anything to get you home, so don't be afraid"
Oprah said to Himura who was slightly trembling in fear, she knew very well that this girl must have been frightened after what she had experienced.
'This world is too chaotic for us to tolerate'
