The Serevan War: the Battle of Syemaqa, Part II

[Image: 1021290658.jpg]

 
December 13th

At dawn, the four Bruuman armoured columns began to move into the city. The South-West column was the first to come under enemy fire as it attempted to cross the Syemaqa river, which coasted the outskirt of town in that part. Fearful that the enemy had mined the small bridge and the river bed itself, the commander let its column get bogged down, exchanging fire across the banks. This in turn allowed Orusyio sanqeo to to reinforce his forces fighting on the other front. 

The North-East columns pushed into a residential neighbourhood, encountering feeble resistance at first, but as they progressed into narrower streets, the EA ambush sprung into place. To face the Bruuman columns, Orusyio sanqeo had deployed five hunter-killer fire teams in buildings’ basements and top floors. As soon as the vehicles had no lateral escape routes, the anti-tank gunners fired at weaker spots of the vehicles, while snipers and machine gunners then fired on the dismounting infantry. The North-East column fell into the ambush and, unable to counter it, suffered heavy losses while confusingly retreating back.

The North-West column entered a less defendable industrial area and managed to get a foothold, but refused to advance after realising its flanks would have been exposed. The South-East column fell into another ambush and managed to retreat more orderly, after intense fighting.

At the end of the day, the Bruuman Army has experienced its worst day of the battle, losing permanently 8 tanks and 24 APCs and suffering dozens of casualties, mostly fallen as they tried to run back on foot. Its commanders had learned the hard lesson not to underestimate the enemy and to adapt their fighting style to the new threat, which they would apply in the following days.
Erinoran casualties were light, although the fighting inflicted already a toll of destruction in the outskirt of the city, a foreseeing of the complete ruin which would characterize Syemaqa at the end of the battle.
