Arl Lappa
Ochtyr 13, 1585
The reports coming in were not good. The joint assault by Severyane and Harmajaa was making significant inroads and it had been only the first day. The provisional government in Arl Lappa was at a loss for how to prepare for the conflict, as many of their personnel were only loosely organized. After all, how does one control an army of guerillas?
Reports were coming in from the south that the Severyanians were advancing quickly, though maybe not as quickly as first assumed. All Lappish units, if you could call them that, were called to move back towards Rvon, taking out as many of the invaders as possible in the process. Bridges were blown up, roads were damaged, buildings were laced with explosives, etc. It wasn't significant enough to stop the advance, by any means, but it did cause headaches for the advancing Severyane forces.
In the west, the Harmajaans were advancing as well, though at a more rapid pace. The west of Balochia was barely populated wild-lands -- mostly forests and fields with the occasional settlement, whereas the Severyane advance was taking place through heavily populated Balochian heartland. The Harmajaan mechanized infantry were having trouble with the marshlands, and many tanks got stuck in the mud before being pulled out to continue advancing. Within a few days, there were air strikes on Grot Obvinsk as well as air-dropped infantry to soften up the city before the main brunt of the military arrived.
The casualties in Grot Obvinsk were significant, as the defending Lappish had more time to prepare than their counterparts in the south. Still, as more Harmajaans arrived, it would only be a matter of time.
The Harmajaan fifth division of infantry, with mechanized support, moved north, around Grot Obvinsk, to continue their advance towards Arl Lappa. Elements of the Harmajaan Navy had already met up with several ships from the Severyane navy at sea and would begin their naval assault on the Lappish capital in the coming days.
