The commonwealth war I

[Ayzek]

((OOC: I'm assuming Drassari is near New Heers or whatever.))

The Ishnalli Hanj Army continued its relentless push forward, itself propelled by the Imperial Army troops that were advancing behind them. The Hanj army, composed of ethnic Hanj slaves, was the Ishnalli Empire's most professional force and also the most loyal to the Empress. Having spent centuries in Ishnalli servitude, the Hanj people thought nothing of their unequal statue and the Hanj Army was instead grateful for the opportunity to so personally serve and die for the Empress. Indeed, the force was composed of men heavily indoctrinated from an early age, who knew nothing of the concept of freedom and were raised to consider foreigners as dogs and animals.

The were a fiercely determined force, trained by western officers in western tactics using western weapons. The Hanj Army also had an Air Force, which had the bulk of Ishnalla's modern aircraft.

Drassari
And it was the Hanj Army Air Force that struck at the Soyabarian force around Drassari Air Base. While Ishnalli interceptors met the Soyabarian aircraft in the skies, Ishnalli multi-role fighters rained guided munitions on the Soyabarian position, targeting specifically the Soyabarian artillery which volleyed the defenders. When the Soyabarian infantry charged at the airbase, Ishnalli troops from the east of the base made their own move. Advancing down the routes from the east, Ishnalli armed vehicles advanced around the Soyabarians, as its infantry reinforced the air base to meet the Soyabarians.

The Soyabarians would soon find themselves drowning in Ishnalli troops.


East of Zeeburgee
The Hanj Army lead the advance along the coast too, though they'd spent the recent while jockeying with Soyabarian troops, attempting to push the Soyabarians into the sea. With Imperial Army reinforcements behind them, the Hanj Army doubled its enforces to push the Soyabarians back off the continent. Its around-the-clock bombardment of Soyabarian positions continued relentlessly before Hanj assaults on the Soyabarian lines intensified.

South of the battle around Soyabarian landings points, an Ishnalli wave advanced towards Zeeburgee, intent on reinforcing the freedom fighters in the city.

Zeeburgee was an important stepping stone to securing the coast, which was necessary to deny Soyabar war-waging capacity further inland.


Eastern New Zealmark Plains
The Ishnalli advance along the Eastern New Zealmark plains had been ordered with Svarna Surya in mind. As the Svarna Suryans would be unlikely to want an all out war with the Ishnalli Empire, it was here that their troops would meet. As a result, the bulk of Ishnalli troops had been deployed here. As the area was largely in freedom-fighter hands, the Ishnalli forces advanced smoothly with little resistance, securing the roads and population centers, and also beginning to fortify the border, fully expecting a Svarna Suryan intervention.


Ishnallan Sea
The Ishnalli Empire finally made its move against the Soyabarian colonizers occupying its sea. Ishnalli naval fighters took off from its air bases along its coast and Paschlam Island, intent on striking the Soyabarian ships. Ishnalli submarines were also released from their bases, with orders of intercepting Soyabarian ships and supplies bound for New Zealmark.
