With the support of air and artillery units, the 3rd Army Division made significant progress towards their objective, securing key positions and eliminating enemy resistance along the way, while at the same time sustaining heavy loses in equipment and manpower due to less than adequate protection for high intensity urban combat.

During the intense combat in the government district, the 3rd Army Division faced heavy engagement both during the day and relentless surprise counterattacks at night. The Akanatoan forces, determined to defend their capital, launched fierce assaults to dislodge the Pelaxian military from their positions. The 3rd Army Division, however, withouth heavy armor support as it did not have a main battle tank suited for intense urban combat, remained resilient and adapted their tactics to effectively respond to these challenges. | |||
One crucial element that proved vital in disrupting enemy resistance and enabling the division to achieve its ground objectives was the close air support provided by a formidable array of aircraft. The Rafale Ms, AV-8A Harriers, and CASA C-101 Aviojets played a pivotal role in delivering airstrikes on enemy strongholds, troop concentrations, and armored assets. These aircraft conducted precision and "area" strikes, obliterating key enemy positions and infrastructure, weakening their defensive capabilities. | |||
Under the cover of darkness, when the Akanatoan forces attempted surprise counterattacks, the Pelaxian military relied on the timely and accurate air support from the aforementioned aircraft. The Rafale Ms, with their advanced sensors and weapons systems, engaged enemy targets with precision-guided munitions, effectively disrupting the enemy's momentum and inflicting significant damage. The AV-8A Harriers, known for their versatility and vertical takeoff capabilities, provided close air support and supply deliveries in this urban environment. Additionally, the CASA C-101 Aviojets, renowned for their agility and firepower, launched coordinated "area" strikes, suppressing enemy movements and providing critical support to ground troops, effectively neutralizing enemy combatants and fortifications | |||
These combined efforts of ground forces and close air support were instrumental in maintaining the momentum of the 3rd Army Division's advance and inflicting heavy losses on the Akanatoan forces. By day, ground troops pushed forward, securing key positions and eliminating enemy resistance with the support of airstrikes. At night, the Pelaxian military effectively disrupted enemy counterattacks through coordinated operations, utilizing the close air support to neutralize threats and maintain control over their gained ground. | |||
Despite the challenges faced and the heavy losses sustained, the 3rd Army Division's unwavering determination, combined with the strategic use of air assets, allowed them to persevere and achieve their objectives in the face of a formidable enemy. Their ability to adapt to changing conditions, exploit opportunities, and leverage their air superiority ultimately proved crucial in establishing a firm foothold and ending the Pelaxian military's campaign in the city. | |||
