Operation Bunker Shot (Strangereal)

Operation: Bunker Shot was the invasion of mainland Anea by ISAF during the Usean Continental War.

The beginning
The Erusians were vulnerable after having there Air Force crippled in the battle of the Riass Space Center. However, their ground troops were in good shape. Even though they never invaded North Point, they were still in good spirits, were combat hardened, and had set up good positions in the areas overlooking the beaches. For ISAF, the situation was the opposite. Even though their air forces had sustained some casualties, it was in an overall good shape fallowing the decisive battle over the Comona Islands. Their landing forces were troops who were evacuated from St. Ark or replacements who had not seen combat in some time or at all. Nobody knew how they would turn out in battle.

The invasion
The invasion began with the ISAF naval forces bombardingthe Erusian defences and the landing troops were sent to three beaches.

Crowne Beach
The landing forces here began with trouble and the situation was the most perilous of all the beaches in the invasion. They didn't have air cover and were pinned down by the enemy defences and helicopters. The ISAF air forces, Including Mobius One, went to assist and soon shot down the choppers and destroyed the defences. The groundtroops were soon ontop of the cliffs. The last attack came from a squad of A-10s that caused heavy casualties. The squad was then shotdown by Mobius One.

Caranda Beach
The forces landed at Caranda Beach with air support and soon destroyed the defenses. They also destroyed some radar antennas the Erusians had set up. However, they were attacked by several artillery batteries that the Erusians had positioned inland. The air force and Mobius One destroyed these and the ground troops advanced inland.

Halle Beach
The troops at Halle also had air support, but the beach terrain was against them greatly. The beach resembled a small bay or lagoon and fire came on them from the front and both flanks. There was a small island on the right where the Erusians set up artillery. And lastly, there were mountains above the entire line of the beach except for a single path inland. With air support from Mobius One, they were slowly able to push the enemy back. The Erusians counter-attacked with tanks that were behind the lines. The air force destroyed the tanks and the troops were able to push inland.

Aftermath
The Erusians suffered a massive defeat and ISAF was back on the mainland. ISAF's ground troops could now beat the enemy and their air force was still strong. Erusia's troops were pushed back and held at the Tango Line.
