The tempo of combat operations continued at a moderate place.
Chernarus Defense Forces and Naval Forces have engaged in five separate operations against rebel forces in two regions.
1) On Friday night a private contractor special forces team eliminated local crime lord Enver Hoxha and a female assistant Annet Rulin in an intense firefight supported by two USMC F-35B fighter aircraft.
The team also recovered critical documents from the criminal command, including data indicating the rebels were planning to step up patrols in the region in the future, including vehicle patrols.
Several rebel soldiers and rebel contractors were eliminated by the team and two heavy vehicles were destroyed by airstrikes.
The team also rescued three unidentified hostages, who were being beaten and abused and were being held by the criminal element.
The team suffered no casualties, and the team as well as the hostages were taken to safety.
The mission represents the first real success Chernarus special forces have had in the region.
2) On Saturday a task force with the newly activated 1st Bn, Chernarus 7th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade conducted a town clearing operation in Granichak in western Leskovets.
Casualties were heavy. 2nd squad was wiped out while 3rd squad lost seven. A BTR was abandoned in town.
The two main targets, Zakhar Prilipin and his assistant, Tika Xhukici, were eliminated in a brief firefight. Important documents were recovered which showed that rebel forces were planning to step up attacks and take over in the west.
Brigade commander announced he expects another operation coming up soon in Leskovets.
3) On Sunday, a five man private contractor special forces team was sent to a secure compound south of the airfield near Krasnostav.
Two enemy operatives were eliminated after the team penetrated the security perimeter, with the help of a Chernarus army attack helicopter. Documents were recovered from one of the operatives.
In its exfiltration movement, the team ran into a foot patrol which was being engaged by another MI-24, and managed to finish off the two remaining units.
The team returned to ship safely.
4) On Tuesday, a task group from 1st Bn, Chernarus 7th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade launched a town clearing operation in Slatina in Leskovets.
On the approach to Slatina aboard the BTR-80, command squad encountered an enemy foot patrol, wiping out the infantry group.
Brigade recon staff had predicted the rebels would push further east and south making for either Slatina or Diva Slatina. The town was poorly defended, so it took little time for the task force to take over the town.
However, 2nd squad commander allowed his mounted squad too north of Slatina. It was wiped out by an enemy BTR-80A. One of the task force's T-72 was dispatched to kill the BTR and was successful.
3rd Squad was whittled down to just four out of 13 before it was ordered to clear town south.
Another task force tank located, engaged and destroyed a rebel T-34 just north of Slatina.
The two targets, Vladimir Yurinov and a female assistant were both eliminated. The commander seized documents being held by the criminal command group.
The data obtained indicated the rebels would continue to press south and east.
5) On Thursday,a task group from 1st Bn, Chernarus 7th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade were ordered to return on Granichak on intelligence that rebels were sending out a heavy armored force to that area.
Losses were moderate for the task force, with command squad losing none and 2nd and 3rd squads each losing six. No friendly heavy vehicles were damaged in Granichak.
The infantry forces, including command squad, supported by BRDM scout cars held the center of the town against determined enemy infantry attacks. Most of the enemy armor directed to Granichak was destroyed or damaged by Chernarus tanks.
On the return leg of the operations, the task force was blocked by a heavy concentration of enemy armor, including two BMP-1 and one BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles and, one T-34M and one T-55 tanks.
One T-72B was damaged in an exchange of tank gunfire with a BMP-1, but following completion of the battle, was repaired and returned to base.
The commander directed the rest of the tanks to the enemy armor block. CDF tanks destroyed almost every armor vehicle in the armor block. The commander destroyed the second BMP1 with an RPG-26.
There was little intelligence gained from the fighting, but brigade recon staff expects more attempts to force the issue in the west in the coming days.
