Part 8: Operation Primo Victoria, Day One

The primary six members of TFX, alternatively Task Force Xeno, exit their landing craft and begin wreaking havoc upon the beach. Lecelnan machine gun positions are destroyed and are left smoking wrecks by their weaponry. The XM56 HIMVLS rocket launcher acquired by the now Staff Sergeant Allen roars to life, and micromissiles race out of its barrel. They find their marks in Lecelnan armored vehicles and infantry-manned defensive positions.

The others, armed with XM1127 HIMCWs, also start turning the beach into a what felt like a deeper layer of hell for the Lecelnans, when compared to the havoc already being wrought by the other infantry -- and then even more so now with missiles from the offshore fleet raining down like the heavy rains of a typhoon. Their automatic 50mm grenade launchers start blasting holes in the cliffs covering the beach, and other normal infantry alongside armored vehicles start either climbing up the hill or scaling the cliffs.

Every infantryman and infantrybot activate their jetpacks and begin pushing through and flying up. Like mini CASA-10s, the PLLMG-54s, M250s, and in the case of TFX, XM338 LMGs begin strafing and wreaking havoc on the beach, still assisted by the aircraft strafing and now the MPH-07, M60, and other attack choppers begin descending upon the battlefield. Newly modified MPH helicopters now find themselves armed with twin 23mm door guns on each side, and infantrybots manning them/controllers activating and using these RCWS start also wreaking havoc. Lecelnan MANPAD troops attempt to shoot the jetpacking infantry and/or the aircraft strafing them, and are met with complete failure as they're gunned down and killed.

Lecelnan YGK helicopters arrive within 300 miles of the scene, however TEAAML MANPADS and other systems begin to open up on them from the New World Union's side. Their warheads fly at incredible speeds and often nail the choppers right in the upper cockpit, instantly turning them into burnt wrecks falling from the sky. Lecelnan jets are also opened up on by the offshore SSTB vessels, then often being forced into uncontrollable death spirals from the missiles that explode next to them or by pilots with borderline godly reflexes, though the G-Forces from these maneuvers rip apart their vehicles anyway, and leave them in death spirals that render them easy targets for passing NWU jets.

Back on the beach, the TFX members begin jetpacking up the cliffs alongside their comrades, taking out any Lecelnans standing in the way. The cliffs are rocked by armored vehicles firing drill shells; shells that, when fired, bore angular holes in the cliffs to allow for easier vehicle traversing. It was possible for the vehicles to simply hover up and over the cliffs; however the psychological effect of the ground blowing up next to you and then a tank coming out of the ground was deemed too much of a psychologically damaging boon to disregard. Micromissiles also flood through the holes, striking down Lecelnan soldiers with explosions.

TFX members hold their HIMCWs out, and their augmented cybernetic second set of arms allowed them to point their guns to their sides and hold down both triggers. The launchers and accelerators blaze quietly, as the quietness of the New World Union's munitions now begins to set in for both parties. The beach is an explosive and volatile hellscape, sure, but the sheer lack of volume from the New World Union's side renders it eerily terrifying, as Lecelnans are killed before their comrades can even hear the gunshot that killed their friend.

Some however, are granted mercy, and are painted with lasers to signify to other New World Union units that they're 'runners', the codename given to Lecelnans designated to run back to their bases and give tales of what happened, preferably to the press. The New World Union's militaries here have now fully pushed past Lecelnan beach defenses on the shore and are now progressing up cliffs and hills. T-50 RST vehicles parked at the entrances of the drill shells' tunnels, providing enhanced shielding to vehicles crossing through. 

Some Lecelnan units attempt to plant drill charges over the bored holes, hoping to collapse the tunnel on the New World Union's vehicles. They fail, and some are gunned down now by the TFX members arriving over the cliff. Others hoping to find safety in ruined bunkers are unceremoniously killed, their killer's munitions passing through the stone and then metal-concrete composites they hid behind. Lecelnan 'runners' flee from these and make their way off the battlefield, leaving their comrades behind, occasionally stealing vehicles to make their cowardly ass escapes.
