The conventional battle in the air was lost, this much was certain, though it had long been known this would be the outcome. Soyabar has good pilots and superior numbers, but the battle was far from a rout as rebel fighters struck hard to bring anyone or anything down with them. They knew this was not a vain sacrifice, for every downed aircraft - both theirs and their enemy’s - was one less that could be used against them later when they inevitably lost the airfields.
There was no need for such structures any longer, anyway, and so plans were laid to “retire” them. The people would be needed elsewhere.
Back on the beaches and in the jungles, the smoke and fire caused by the armored flamethrowers provided an ample and extra layer of cover with which the rebels made their withdrawal. The east-bound legions still met small pockets of resistance ahead of them and to their flanks, ambushes set up to harass and hary them on their route away from the landing zone and on the way to Yamana before they too retreated deep into the woods in the face of the armored flamethrowers.
Back in Yamana, word came of the legion’s advance: they were close, and there was not much time left to prepare. The forces arrayed against the relatively paltry defenders was overwhelming, and so the decision was made to sabotage what the could and abandon the position. Explosives were set within the fuel depots, along the tracks, and within the train engines at the station and within the rail yards. The rebel’s split up and made their escape along the tracks southward, and westward, setting magnetic mines in the tracks’ ballast and bringing down bridges as they went.
Moments later, an exceptional boom was felt for miles around as the trains and facilities at Yamana were blown apart.
Meanwhile, the fighters that had escaped into the woods following the beach landings doubled back to the west and towards Zeebrugge.
