Operation SuperMarket
0500 Hours, Serengeti F.O.B
The rumbling of a helicopter engine on the pad is a magnificent sound, but the sound of a dozen of them is absolutely unforgettable. The Chinese military has involved itself in the Abyssinian - Tanzanian War due to the endless killings of the local populace on both sides of the conflict, and it is believed that only a strategically well-fought, quick and precise war is what will end the bloodshed. Operation SuperMarkets main objective would be the capture of the head strategist and leader of the Tanzanian Rebels, “Ombuku”.
Chinese National Army troops, flying via twelve helicopters would quickly take control of the fortress where Ombuku was staging his operations, just after a perfectly planned bombing run by a squadrons worth of Chengdu J-10’s. The J-10’s would perform bombing runs on the barracks, maintenance depot, and the hangars that housed attack helicopters and 1960’s Soviet attack aircraft.
The helicopters would move in to quickly encircle the inner fortress, with six securing the perimeter, four engaging the strategic command center, and two performing close-air-support. At 0530 Hours, the helicopters took off bristling with eager Chinese soldiers. This would be the first combat engagement of Chinese forces in over three years.
0730 hours
The first attack of Chengdu J-10’s strafed their designated targets, absolutely obliterating them with the use of several guided 1,000 pound bombs and cluster-rocket strafing runs. The helicopters were only two minutes away and the element of surprise had benefit the Chinese.
“快速!快速!快速!保護周邊!” Shouts platoon leader Qin Li as they prepare to breach the command center. “違反!違反!閃爍! (Breach! Breach! Flashing!)” The guards were still in shock over the bombing runs performed by the J-10’s, and were taken prisoner. Shouting could be heard up the stairs as the first squad of CNA soldiers charged up the stairs. The phased defenders put up little resistance and were either shot or taken prisoner.
Meanwhile on the outer perimeter, fighting was significantly more fierce. Rebel soldiers opened up with SMG fire across the camp, but this was suppressed by the two helicopters providing close air support.
It was roughly 0745 Hours when the CNA soldiers in the command center had reached Ombuku’s command room, which was the most heavily guarded area of the building. “閃!閃!(Flash! Flash!)” Soldiers barged into the room seconds after the flash had exploded, and gunned down all of the guards. Ombuku was captured, phased by the flash. At 0800 Hours, the soldiers had been airlifted out of the fortress, and by 0815 Hours, the operation was marked as a success.
At 0900 Hours, it was released to the world that China had captured the man responsible for the Abyssinian-Tanzanian Civil War. He was extradited to China, to prevent any incursions by the Abyssinnians and he will be interrogated in Nanking.
