Following the attack on Holmforth by militants based in the settlement of Wallowdale. National Redoubt Command had prioritised the capture of settlement and the elimination of all hostile forces to solidify its control of the region. As such elements of the Steðeheard Militia, National Redoubt Garrison and various People’s Militias were mobilised for an assault.
National Redoubt forces were stationed in the abandoned settlement of Ironforge and the recently amalgamated settlement of Holmforth. From here a Wing of five Buladocga aircraft provided air cover and assaulted hostile fixed positions as the Militias pushed through the outposts littered in the two valleys.
The town of Wallowdale had been mostly ransacked following the evacuations, with the remaining population being subjugated by escaped inmates from the nearby prison (HMNEP Wallow). These inmates then joined forces with a large band of militants from CNUT. This faction utilised the existing defences of the prison as their Head Quarters, with their estimated strength believed to have been around 1200 men & women.
National Redoubt Forces utilising the air cover were able to push into the ruins of Wallowdale by 1600 on the 21st February 2017. From here fierce close quarter combat took place, one notable engagement took place outside an abandoned school within the town which had been used by the militants as an outpost. Elements of the Blue Shirt Militia were unable to break the enemy defence and called upon the Buladocga who napalmed the building and incinerated all those inside.
By 1945 National Redoubt Forces had cleared the settlement and executed all the captured militants. With the first stage of the Operation successfully completed the Militias regrouped on the outskirts of the HMNEP Wallow which was located to the North East of the town. The Buladocga aircraft refuelled and initiated the attack on the prison. Meanwhile the Militias advanced on the complex and took advantage of breaches in the prison walls created by the bombardment.
Once again fierce close quarter combat took place within the prison complex as National Redoubt Forces performed clearance drills throughout the facility. However by 2122 National Redoubt Forces were able to confirm that the prison complex had been pacified.
The casualty report for the of the operation is as follows;
Hostile; KIA – 1198 / WIA – 0 (All Executed)/ POW - 0
Friendly Forces; KIA – 89 / WIA – 213
This operation has resulted in the last portion of the National Redoubt now falling under Nation Redoubt Command.
May the Faedertellus continue to Rise!
Colonel Marcus Warf
Commander of the National Redoubt Garrison.
