Amidst the devastation of two years of war, is the stories of those who fought the bravest, often with death being the other option to fighting.
These soldiers were the ones who fought as they were literally dying.
It was during the fighting in the outskirts of Detroit, where these soldiers of the 245th Infantry Regiment. The unit was largely decimated in the fighting across Canada by overwhelming hordes of Awwami forces, and Detroit was the next target. Although supported effectively by Paternian Air Force Pummelers and artillery, they were vastly outgunned and outnumbered.
Yet, the division held strong. Desperate, the commander of the Awwami forces decided to employ a new nerve agent, which did not require the user to breathe it in to be effective. And the unfortunate first target was the 245th Infantry Regiment.
The morning of the final assault began with this, with Awwami soldiers donning chemical weapons suits as they fired mortar rounds filled with said nerve agent. The 245th Infantry Regiment was only issued gas masks, and as a result, the unit suffered terribly at the hands. Of the 1,500 soldiers, only 250 survived the attack.
However, these 250 soldiers would prove decisive. Awwami forces advanced confidently, believing the nerve agent killed everyone. However, when they were withing 300 meters of the defensive positions of the 245th, they climbed out of their trenches and conducted a bayonet charge.
The surprise of the attack, as well as the bloodied uniforms of the Paternian soldiers due to the nerve gas, caused panic among the attacking forces. This panic was reinforced by the fact the soldiers did not stop to gunfire. Their high adrenaline, as well as additional adrenaline, and the numbing of tactile senses due to the nerve agent contributed heavily to the ineffectiveness of bullets.
As the Paternian soldiers closed upon their lines, mustard gas was employed. Again, these agents did nothing, due to the numbness to pain.
The five divisions sent to crush the 245th Infantry Regiment were thrown into panic, and by the time they were able to regroup, the unit has already expired from the nerve agent, and Detroit was reinforced heavily. The sacrifice of the 245th, and their determination to continue fighting, regardless of their fate. The 250 survivors knew their lives were coming to a close in a few hours. Instead of wallow in sorrow, they decided to mount a final last stand.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Well that explains why psychological warfare operations were less effective this time around.
@Pilotmario It also has Nothing to do with Cryogenics
@Pilotmario Honestly cant tell you. but we don't create Humans. They're not Humans. We only use the Human Soldiers internally.
Clones? How? Like, cryogenics or something like that? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario We either Decommission them or store them for later use. And no it's not Illegal anymore. Much like the Amarr in EVE
I thought that was illegal...
Also, what are you going to do with the clones after the war? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario Not the Heavy Soldiers I'm talking about Light Infantry. Their Suits aren't Heavy. As for Heavy Infantry. They have an rivaled case of armour. Similar to a Tank. Which is why heavy soldiers storm the front line while Medium Protect their Sides and any other Soldiers. Snipers kill the Main Enemies that pose a Threat and Light Infantry go to finish the job and search. However the Systems are not Disabled as only if the Wearer is disconnected and I Mentioned this before. Cloning is also a Method that we now incorporated from the F.U.C. they supplied us with it from Germany and now We send Clones into the war. As is with any War. Elite Soldiers also have a different variety of armour as they prefer. But there is certainly a standard that all soldiers have to follow. And if you think That the heavy armour suit is reducing functionality you're very wrong. It's light on the User and at the Same time the Wearer is Built for its weight even if it's Neural Connection was disabled.
Many of them remove or leave behind the heavy armor suits because it functionally provides the same level of protection as the light armor suits.
Both the heavy and light armor suits can be penetrated by standard Paternian rifles at ranges of 300m with AP-LJ ammunition. Both are resistant to non-armor-piercing ammunition as well as artillery blast. If a light armor suit systems are disabled, the operator is still able to move, albeit with less dexterity and mobility. If a heavy armor suit is disabled, it will trap the operator, although newer suits solve this somewhat with an internal emergency manual release. That's why we rarely see them in heavy armor. More experienced units forgo it for these reasons. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I told him that. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario Light Infantry Also do have Armour. But it's an entire suit for Mobility. You were most likely engaging GLA Troops. Awwam Soldiers never remove their Armour.
@Pilotmario you used them first. So we're not at fault @Mudkip
@TemDesBur Sure.
@Pilotmario its a free gift
@Pilotmario do you still want them?
@TemDesBur No need. The war's all over.
may we send you 1000 B-84M MBTs to assist in your efforts? @Pilotmario
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Pilotmario is saying that you used chemical warfare.
@Mudkip We did.
So he did against us, a nerve agent to be specific.
@Pilotmario Shut up. You used chemical weapons on him.
@Mudkip He used chemical weapons on us in retaliation for Jakarta.
@Pilotmario That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that chemical weapons are banned.
@Mudkip Last time I checked, when you stab a bayonet into a man's throat, they tend to die.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Cemical weapons are banned, and your using tech from the 1600's.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I see.
Some soldiers found it enhancing, others found it limiting, they're humans.
The only soldiers which we saw that wore armor of any kind were assault troopers, who often wore the full suit, seeing that it be necessary. However, light infantry tended to wear little/no armor, as they viewed it as either useless or cowardly.
The Paternian Army employed three standard-issue rifles: the M12, the M18, and the M36.
The M12 is a 7.62mm full-power battle rifle, and with AP-LJ (Armor-Piercing Light-Jacket, works like IRL APCR) rounds, can penetrate medium armor suits at 500m light armor suits at 800m.
The M18 and M36 are 5.56mm assualt rifles, and can penetrate light armor suits at 600m and medium armor suits at 500m with AP-LJ.
Also, there are two-types of bayonet in service; the M1 Fighting Knife and the M2 Bayonet. The former is a tanto-blade knife, and the latter is a triangular spike dagger. Both designs are known for their good stabbing ability.
The average range of engagement is 400m. Given that the armor does nothing to stop them and is something extra to carry, they are often left behind.
Also, I must deduce that you are from Pakistan or India, since A) you spell armor and color with a "u", and B) when mentioning how badass Muslim soldiers are, you specifically mentioned the Pakistani Special Forces, and used terms such as "we".
@Pilotmario Actually you're mistaken. Can you please not say such things? If I need an argument it would be that their Armour enhances their Mobility and isn't As clunky or bulky as you think.
