Kahlawian War of Reconquest

Appe96 wrote:You may have only invaded one place once. However you often resort to covert means, such the civil war in Segerline. We will never regret the horrors that you did to innocent civilians in that war.

We both know that a white peace will not be sufficient. After more than a century of oppression and occupation of the Kahlawian people, you won't simply get away with it. They will enjoy the same freedoms as their brothers south of the border wheter you like it or not.

We would also like to remind you that you are not in a position to make demands. You military has suffered probably the worst catastrophy in both naval and aerial history. You are defeated, now let us settle this peacefully or face Segerlinen and Kahlawian steel.

However, we probably already know your answer. For we all know that you are not a kerb who want to help other kerbs, you only seek personal gain no matter the cost. Maybe you will talk when the rest of your military is annihalated.

Narcona seconds this. The pigheadedness of the Kyuxians will only end in their demise. We would also sadly like to note that Rituko holds the record for most destruction one battle.

DECISIVE HAMMER

The Kyuxian navy has regrouped into one fleet east of New Spoori, in a last ditch effort to save themselves from the onslaught with simple numbers. The Colonial subs have dispatched, trying to hunt down Kahlawian vessels, with very limited luck. The Kahlawians have only lost a missile cruiser and a heavy cruiser in the skirmishes, while the inferior Kyuxian subs have lost five from Kahlawian destroyers and submarines. The Kahlawians have grouped their own navy south of the Kyuxians. The Kyuxians steam southwards, at full speed.

A very important threshold is crossed at this point.

A Kyuxian missile cruiser goes down under a pair of explosions, listing heavily to port and drifting to a stop. A second suffers the same fate. A missile plunks into the water short of another missile cruisers, and another slams head first into the nose of the cruiser, opening huge holes to the sea, bringing it down nose first. The next missile cruiser survives miraculously, both missiles missing. The next isn’t so lucky. It takes two hits from opposite sides, breaking in half and sinking quickly. The next boat suffers the same fate. The seventh gets lucky, and both missiles miss. The eighth does not, and takes two to starboard, listing and eventually capsizing. The last missile cruiser takes two hits high, and actually survives.

After the loss of 6 missile cruisers, the destroyers begin to take fire. The first takes two missiles and sinks promptly, a third missile splashing into the ocean. The second takes three hits and really can’t even be called a ship anymore. Another missile tumbles out of control, but the other two hit a destroyer, and it is obviously out of commission. The next destroyer takes a single hit, and capsizes quickly. The next destroyer gets hit too, the nose going down, sinking quickly towards the waves. The next destroyer is missed entirely, as is the one after it. The last one takes two heavy hits, and quickly turns into a debris field.

After losing 6 missile cruisers and 6 destroyers, the capital ships begin to take fire. The first carrier takes two hits high, straight into the hangar, destroying a ground attack squadron inside. The second takes three hits low, and lists heavily, eventually slipping beneath the waves after capsizing. Of the 11 heavy cruisers, 10 sink from twin hits, the 11th getting missed entirely. The 20 light cruisers begin to take fire, and 16 take fatal hits. The Kyuxians have taken heavy losses, and are in no fighting condition, so turn around to retreat to the relative safety of New Spoori, under air cover of the Eastern air force.

They don’t get far.

Before the Eastern air cover can get to them to cover them, the Kahlawian air force descends upon the survivors. They launch more ASMs from the air, sinking the aircraft carrier after two more hits. Three more missiles descend, screaming through the atmosphere, tearing into the missile cruisers in the most brutal of hits, sinking all three. The Kyuxian air superiority arrives, and attempts to engage the bombers, but the Kahlawians swoop in to keep them busy while their bombers continue firing. The Kahlawians, in their valor, take heavy casualties against the Kyuxian fighters, being outnumbered two to one. Some Kyuxians get through to the bombers, shooting down a trio of those. More ASMs rain down. The two surviving destroyers both take heavy hits and sink quickly. The surviving heavy cruiser stands strong, attempting to provide some AA fire without taking out their own fighters, but cannot fire accurately enough to do so. It takes four direct hits from ASMs and remains afloat, a fifth sailing overhead. More bombers pinwheel from the skies, down to three survivors, all unleashing hell on the heavy cruiser. It takes six mores hits and finally succumbs to the fire, twisting and snapping in three. The four light cruisers flee as fast as they can. The rest of the Kahlawian aircraft are downed, giving them a 100% casualty rate in the air for this skirmish, and 5 Kyuxian squadrons limp home. The Colonial navy is pinned in their harbors, and the Kyuxian subs retreat north to re-organize a stealth assault, all 24 of them.

Segerlinien missiles streak from their launch sites towards the 4 Colonial light cruisers in their harbor. The first cruiser takes a direct hit from the huge warhead, and sinks promptly. The second light cruiser gets hit high, and survives, but is listing partially. The third light cruiser takes a hit low, and lists, finally capsizing. The fourth light cruiser takes a hit directly to the rear, and is dead in the water, slowly burning out from the inside. Its crew jumps overboard. Four more missiles splash down into the water around them, having missed their targets.

The Kahlawian destroyers break off on paths to detect and follow Kyuxian subs, and attempt to hunt them down.

Losses:

Kyux:
9 Destroyers
8 Missile Cruisers
11 Heavy Cruisers
2 Aircraft Carriers
19 Light Cruisers
3 Air Superiority Squadrons
1 Ground Attack Squadron

Kahlawia:
1 Bomber Squadron
3 Air Superiority Squadrons

Terripana views this attack as unjustified. We hope that the war can come to a more diplomatic ending.

Diplomatic ways have been tried multiple times, and multiple times they have been rejected. It's a sad fact that now weapons have to speak after words failed, but we know that it was not our fault.

Three cargo vessels, small, regional freight runners, leave the Colonial territory’s main harbor. All the crates onboard are removed, and it is full of people attempting to leave the Colonial territories, trying to flee to Eastern Kyux. As they get out into open waters, the Kahlawian fleet intercepts them.

“Halt! Unidentified vessels, turn around and return to harbor! This is a total naval exclusion zone, and you are not permitted here! Turn or be boarded!”

The captain looks at his bridge crew. They’re all nervous, beyond all belief. The ships are unarmed. What are they to do? None of them wish to fall to another nation. They all love their home country, and they wouldn’t rather live anywhere else.

“I’m sorry, but we aren’t turning around. We are peaceful, unarmed civilians. Let us leave this area, and we will cause you no trouble.”

Grimly, the Kahlawian responds.

“I’m afraid we can’t just let you go. It’s too dangerous out here, there’s combat daily. You need to go back for you safety.”

The captain coughs, and his frail old voice comes through over the radio in response.

“We know our safety, and we know where we’re safest. We’re leaving. Are you prepared to harm innocent civilians, who are displaced by your bloody war?”

There is no response. The Kahlawian knows what they feel. Alas, orders are orders.

The civilian vessels continue onwards. A light cruiser and three destroyers break off to follow them. A new voice, stronger, younger than the last, comes through on the radio.

“Turn back now or prepare to be boarded. This is your final warning.”

There is no response. He shrugs.

“Send ‘em.”

Five helicopters, all carrying heliborne marines, fly over the three ships. Two spin off to the left, two to the right, and the center one goes for the central ship. They all hover over, and drop marines onto the boats via ropes. The marines snap their rifles to a firing position, and clear the civilians, checking for firearms or bombs. The left boat is clear, and the captain of it surrenders without a fight. The same occurs on the right boat, although his first mate tries to fistfight a marine, and gets a rifle butt to the face. On the central boat, things are less peaceful. The weaker force uses tear gas to subdue the civilians. They run for the rear of the ship, towards the bridge. When the soldiers chase them down, some have picked up heavy tools, and wield them as melee surprise weapons. Hitting them around corners, one enraged kerbal hits another in the head with a crowbar hard enough to knock him out before he hits the ground. The marine behind him, new to stress, panics, and fires three shots, killing the kerbal wielding the crowbar. Panic ensues, and the civilians scatter, some wielding weapons in the tight quarters of the ship to defend themselves, some running for cover. Many of the marines open fire. Screams echo out across the water. After a few minutes, it’s over. The bridge is under the control of the Kahlawians, but almost 30 civilians and 2 marines are dead.

HEAVY HAMMER

Artillery fire erupts, disturbing the dawn. Before the war, the DMZ was under constant patrol. After naval combat started, it was dead silent. Forces waited on both sides, but never got to see each other. They didn’t want to start a land war.

Orders came through that night. Things were going to change.

At 4:30AM, two artillery divisions had set up, and begun firing at fortified positions along the DMZ. Kyuxian soldiers awoke to a start, and panic set in. They knew they were under attack, so the soldiers flooded towards the DMZ to prepare for an invasion. Fortifications, hit badly by artillery, are further torn up by ground attack squadrons. Just as the Colonial soldiers reach the DMZ, the steel flood pours in. Two tank battalions, two mechanized infantry battalions, two special forces groups, and two mobile AA groups tear across the DMZ. The special forces open fire with .50 cal MGs at the mechanized infantry and special forces lighter vehicles, and at the tanks with 20mm autocannons in light fortifications. The 20mm rounds bounce off the tanks, and the tanks return fire, obliterating the 20mm guns. Still on the move, the tanks and infantry groups overrun the two special forces on the DMZ. Those that aren’t slaughtered surrender. The three special forces groups coming up to reinforce the DMZ are met by nasty sights. They use shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapons to destroy three of the tanks, but are pushed into cover by return fire. The special forces retreat into the night, and draw out a long battle against the invaders, stalling them but never fighting to sustain casualties, setting traps. By the time the sun has risen, the fight is in a small suburb, long evacuated, with all three special forces groups still alive and fighting. 15 more tanks had been lost, and the invaders were down a mechanized infantry group, as well as both their useless AA groups. As the special forces retreated through the suburbs, the one tank battalion was finished off, but at heavy casualties. One Kyuxian special forces group was overrun and surrendered. At the towns center is small river. The special forces blow the bridges across the river and retreat to the far side, holding the mechanized and special forces back, although sustaining some casualties from artillery and ground attack squadrons.

Losses:

Kyux:
3 Special Forces Battalions

Kahlawia:
2 AA Groups
1 Tank Regiment
1 Mechanized Infantry Battalion

Kyux you are loosing heavily on both land sea and air. Will you come to the negotiations table or do you have too much pride?

We would like to remind Kyux they are still at war with the Raxira, and are currently fighting two wars on two different fronts

If you do not agree to a peaceful surrender we are afraid we have no choice but to test our new weapon on you. We will give you a few days to give up (OOC when i get back from school today i'll fire)

If you are gonna test a weapons of mass destruction on us then it only proves what psycopath you are. Any attack will be retaliated in full force.

How can you retaliate more then you are already doing? This is a example of imperialism, but you people are nothing but brainwashed so you believe everything you do is right. All we seek to do is to defend our territories, but you fight a war like a coward instead by using missiles from far away, there is no honor in what you do. Beacuse of that expect no honor from us

This is not imperialism. This is liberating the peoples that you conquered from Kahlawia. You are the only coward here since the only way you fight is to attack nations when they are their weakest. Using missile is not being coward, it is not our fault that your admirals where to stupid to grasp the concept of a cruise missile in modern naval warfare.

I warn you, if you use weapons of mass destruction, then the days of Kyux will truly be over. Because there will be nothing left.

We are deeply sorry that the world doesn't fit your personal view of a chivalric battle. Maybe you would have been happier if we made our ships parading under your guns with our men blindfolded, or maybe even if we sunk them ourselves.

Your desperate menace is insensate. We's like to point out that no harm has been done to civilian population until now, and that your aggression will be met with full force. We might not know what youe menace exactly consists in, but we are sure that our destructive power is many times higher than yours. We suggest you to reconsider your position and to save your people from annihlation.

Segerline also wants to be perfectly clear. If you do not reconsider your position, then your nation and everyone living there will be annihalated by Segerlinen weapons. But once more you show that the lives of millions are worth it in your sick twisted mind. As long as you can desperatly cling on to the territory you stole.

Remember, we can fight fairly and take all the territory. Or we can go down the dirty route and open up an entire new kind of warfare. Once again, the choice is yours and you will be the first one open up this warfare.

You have fought with no honor, i do not even know if you know what the concept of "fairly" is as all you are able to do is to call other people imperial for the slightest sneeze, then do the same but worst.

You Kyuxians are more of warmonegerers and killers than any of the Kahalwians! Any kind of attack is a fair attack, the only fault heres of the defender, which couldnt regorup and rebuild fast enough. But if you are threatening a nation to attack it with mass destruction weapons, which are already somehwat used by Narcona, and look how often they were condemned at. Do you really want to win the war at any cost of lives, money and economy? Do you really have to fight until you are deep undergorund, dead and have no body, eaten by ants, just to see your enemy taking some bigger losses? We at HUENH find this stubborn and foolish.

Delayed reports from Albemuth seem to show that 4 special forces regiments have landed and have locked down the city. Eyewitness accounts reveal that the brutal efficiency in locking down certain key parts of the city has contributed to the delay in release of information.

We began peace talks first offering half of the mainland possessions, then all. But they did not agree, they wanted our islands too, who they have never owned and are in a far majority Kyuxian. THAT is imperialistic. They threatened us with a invasion if we did not agree.

The Kyuxians have just approached us to begin peace talks. Speaking from a position extremily favorable as theirs, they graciously offered us some 45% of the Kahlawian occupied territories, actually less of what our army is occupying at this moment.

Now, while we feel threathened by their fleet of wrecked ships manned by ghosts, or by their nearly unexistant army stationed on the other side of the equator, we felt this as an offence at our people and at our sacrifices.

We're not disposed to left a single inch of our land in their hands, and if the security of our nation from foreign aggression dictates to push a little further, then we'll do it. It's still up to the Kyuxian to decide if this will happen at peaceful terms, or if they'll have to be umiliated again on the battlefield.

The Kyuxan government must understand that they are in no position to make demands. If given the greenlight by our armed forces, then we will swiftly take the territory that we demand and seize it fast. Once more the Kyuxan government has shown that they do not care about people dying on the battlefield. The war is lost for their part but still they fight on to desperatly cling on the land that they once stole.

Tell me Kyux, do you think our demands when you surrender will be harsher if you surrender later or do you think they will be lighter? You are diging yourself a very deep hole.

We agreed to give you your former territories, but you want our territories too. So this is not a war of reconquest, rather agression. We will never agree to such terms. You are all imperialistic liars with no honor, you're only skill is lying and calling people imperialistic. You pigs.

We only want colonial kyux. You offered half the albemuth region which is not acceptabel

Hey, William Shreier, your neutral arbiter, here.

So, get this clear, Kahlawia is asking for more land than they ever owned? That does indeed change the nature of this war, doesnt it?

It is lies perpetrated by the Kyuxan regime. We only demand what was taken by Kyux earlier.

Then cant both parties settle at that?
