Yanuban: Difference between revisions

On July 23rd the soldiers of the Junta joined the protesters to put pressure on [[Burgundie]] for a negotiated retreat. For 48 hrs the stand off continued until a Yanubi Sapper team arrived. Seeing the writing on the wall, the Legionnaires and Gendarmes requested permission to return fire if fired up on and fight their way to the coast. At 1700 local time they were given the green light if they could not hold the perimeter to fight to the coast to liaison with teams from Rapid Deployment Group 6. At 2105 the crowd was unleashed on the Legion base and the sappers took the distraction to position themselves near a side entrance they thought was now well guarded. The Legionnaires left the Gendarmes to use the riot truck to hold off the civilians surge until the Yanubi sappers had blown the back gate. Using the water canon and batons the Gendarmes give enough ground to make the Yanubis feel confident. They signaled their sappers to blow the side gate at 2117. Thinking they had surprised the Burgoigniacs they were terrified when they were met by a coordinated sallying forth by the Legionnaires who gunned down the sappers and the Juntas commander who was with them. The Legionnaires called to the Navy indicating that their fight to the sea had begun. The Legionnaires swept up behind the protesters and Juntas soldiers and assaulted from the rear.

=====Fight to the sea=====

On July 23rd at 2117 Yanubi sappers blew open a side gate, thinking they were taking the [[Umardi Askari]] of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] by surprise. They were counter-ambushed by the Askaris and killed. Three squads of the Askaris exited the perimeter and quietly circled around behind the Junta soldiers and protesters while another squad stayed by the side gate and fired into the air to trick the Yanubis into thinking the Sappers were still alive and engaging with the Legionnaires. The encircling action complete, the Askaris opened fire on the Junta soldiers from behind and caused a panic, dispersing the crowd. This gave the remaining Legionnaires and gendarmes time to open the main gate and exit in their armored vehicles. Askari combat engineers had mined the key infrastructure of the base and the materiel they had to leave behind. With charges set for 10 minutes the convoy called the [[Navy of Burgundie]]'s [[Navy_of_Burgundie#Grand_Eastern_Command|Grand Eastern Command]]'s Rapid Deployment Group 6 to begin the operation and to establish a beach head for their extraction. An advance survey team deemed the city's harbor to be insecure, so they were instructed to head to a beach 7 kilometers south of the city and meet up in 6 hours.
