Chapter 2 - Rainbow 6 Siege style
When the Emperor of Britannia shows his intent to kill god, god has made the decision to fight back through any means.
Now the forces of liberty and freedom will openly wage war against a seemingly superior foe.
This is a mixture of Call of Duty, Wargames, World in Conflict, Muv Luv and Full Metal Panic now Rainbow 6 added in.
Zero and Tohdoh arrived at the Tokyo Settlement to see an entire line of artillery units firing shells after shells at the Viceroy's Palace. M125 Mortar Carriers, L118 light guns, M109A6 Paladins, AS-90s, PzH 2000s, Type 74 105 mm SPGs and Type 75 155 mm SPGs fires their shells at Palace as MIM-72G Chaparrals, Gepard SPAAGs, Type 87 SPAAGs, M163 VADS and LAV-ADs scan the skies for any Jet fighters or VTOL coming to silent the artillery units.
The sight is very new since the introduction of the Knightmare Frame force many artillery units to be place farther or closer to the battlefield. But if they looked at the front is a line of Anti Tank Units, Anti Tank Infantry armed with Rocket Launchers and various Anti-Materiel Rifles, Various ATGMs and a few Armored units hidden among the rubble and ruins and the only route towards the artillery units are mined with Anti Tank Mines.
At the skies various fighter bombers continue to attack the Viceroy's Palace as helicopters protect the artillery units. British Challenger 2s, Cyclone and Soldiers, US Abrams, Bushnells, Marines and Soldiers, German Leopards, Draches and Troopers, French Leclercs, Mistral IIs and Foreign Legionnaires, Japanese Type 90, Type 10 Tanks, Type 96 Arm Slaves and Troopers are being prepare for combat as Armored Recovery Vehicles tow away the damage vehicles and arm slaves to the FOBs at the back.
Then they duck as a Apache Longbow flew low and fast firing it's auto cannon in the progress, standing up they saw a fireball before hearing an explosion as the Heavy Attack Helicopter RTB to refuel and rearm. "This is big." Zero commented as Tohdoh grunted in agreement as a Humvee speed by it's machine gun firing on stop. Then the speakers around them blared.
"All units Operation Olympus is a go!" At that announcement everyone ran towards their positions. Zero and Tohdoh ran towards their Knightmare Frames as the Black Knights and the JLF remnants prepare to join the attack. "Hey it's your Angels in disguised!" A Marine shouted as a wave of Warbirds flew towards the Viceroy's Palace, the soldiers around them hoot and cheer as another flight of attack Helicopters joined in. Everyone was cheering so loud the Britannian soldiers don't know what's going on.
"Let go! Lets give our Angels some help!" A British Tanker shouted as the tanks and Arm Slaves started to move towards the front lines intending to ruin the Britannian's good day.
Inside one of the Warbirds John recheck his equipment, on his lap is a carbine a Heckler & Koch HK416 with M68 Aimpoint, a Surefire Millennium Universal weapon-light and a very nasty surprise a Knight's Armament Masterkey Shotgun loaded with slugs. The rest of the team are either carrying carbines or sub machine guns of various makes and models the most common are the MP5 and MP7. "30 seconds!" The pilot announced to them as they close in to the Palace. Everyone looked out to see and massive line of tanks and arm slaves as they pound the battered defenders.
The Britannians found out that their tanks are useless on direct contact meaning frontal engagements are a deadly game for them as the Chobham composite armor or the depleted uranium mesh-reinforced composite armor or the modular composite armor stop the incoming rounds.
The Britannian Main Battle Tank is armored and armed like any other Main Battle Tank in the 20th Century and prove worthless against the 21st Century and near 22nd Century armor created by studying 20th Century ammunition. Since the Georgian calender says 1962 B.C and the Britannian calender 2017 a.t.b. the Britannian tanks still use the old Rolled homogeneous armor, that it's proven useless against HEAT, APFSDS/Sabot and HESH ammunition of the 120 mm main gun of the Combine Forces.
The Britannias use the 105 mm main gun and they use APDS, HE and standard shells to fight back, but the problem is that APDS are short in order since the Britannian main battle tank are always use as close range artillery units instead of tanks. Against them are the Main Battle Tanks and the only vehicles in the entire Combine Forces that use the 105 mm main gun. the M1128 Mobile Gun System, the AMX-10 RC, the B1 Centauro and the JGSDF Maneuver Combat Vehicle which is loaded with HE, HEAT, APFSDS/Sabot and HESH ammunition and are capable of penetrating a NATO triple heavy tank target at a range of 2,000 metres.
The vehicles have a small silhouette and stabilized, primarily outfitted to support infantry, it could take on the roles of the old tank destroyers. And they are station around the perimeter firing rounds after rounds at the Britannian line. One after another the Britannian Tank and Knightmare Frames are pick off by the 105 mm shell, snipping them from long distances. To the Britannians the enemy has accurate artillery. Then the lines broke as IFVs charge the lines firing their autocannons.
"10 seconds. Radio check. Go to secure channel." The Pilot said as they push a few switches as the team gets ready by putting on their gas masks. "Lock and load." John said to everyone as the gas mask muffles his voice. The Attack Helicopters broke off and attack the enemy units around the Palace as the Warbirds landed on the Palace and started to drop their loads. "Green light! Go! Go! Go!" John shouted as they jump down from helicopter, landing on the roof, all the guards were taken by surprise as they were shot them before anyone can react. "Roof secure!" John report in as they ran to the villa.
The teams split up a few going through the villa and to the stairs as the rest repel down the roof.
Once inside the guards were gunned down by Operators from TF:0. "Frame charge on the door." John nodded to one of this teammates Thermite as he place a breaching charge on the door. "Pulse?" John asked his bio metric specialist. Pulse use his heartbeat sensor and scan beyond the door. "Three tangos." Pulse replied putting his sensor away. John nodded and turn to his tech specialist. "I.Q?" John asked the German, who use her sensor. "Nothing." I.Q replied. "Alright, breach!" John shouted. "Breaching breaching!" Thermite shouted as he activate the charges, as it blew up everyone charge in. Blizt use his shield's flash bang charges blinding the three men as the team gunned them down. "Clear!" Thermite shouted as they head down the open stair well.
As John and his team use the stairs, for Ken Namikaze a brown haired Japanese 20 year old with brown eye on his right, and on his left eye is a glowing blue eye if they stare in said eye they'll see a glowing, bird-shaped symbol hidden behind a darken lens goggle. He and his team slowly repel down the roof to their target the Viceroy's Office. They're doing the Australian rappel as they reach the floor where the office is. "Do it." Ken said to his team as they broke the window and jump in. The three guards aiming at the door were taken by surprise as Mute and Smoke gunned them down with the MP5K and MP7.
"Room clear!" Smoke shouted back as Mute nodded. The rest entered through the hole on the window as they kick the weapons away from the bodies. "Ash blow it." Ken said to his demolition expert. "Right, placing charge." Ash said as she place two frame charge on the big double doors. Then footsteps are heard as more guards started to pound on the door. "I got it." Ash said to the team as she press the detonator. The explosion killed all the guards behind the door as the charge fell on them. "Go! Go! Go!" Ken shouted as the team charge out from the office killing the disoriented guards.
Outside the battle continues as the Combine force advances slowly to the Palace as burned out Knightmare Frames and Tanks littered the streets, the final line of defense included a few IFVs. All the M1128 MGS, the AMX-10 RC, the Centauro and the JGSDF MCV stood father at the back as they pound the defenders with HEAT, Sabot and HESH rounds. The Main Battle Tanks rumbled slowly with the Arm Slaves at the back advancing at the line like world war 1 as they advance without stopping.
The Defenders are desperate as the enemy armor and Arm Slaves advance with impunity when suddenly. *BOOM!* Some of the soldiers looked back and went pale, 12 Tactical Surface Fighters; 3 SF-Type-94 Shiranuis, 3 TSF-F-18E Hornets, 3 TSF-F-5F Mirage IIIs and 3 F-5E Tornado ADVs has landed behind their lines. Aiming their Assault Cannons the 12 TSFs cause chaos and mayhem as they cut through the lines.
The Black Knights and the JLF remnants arrive on scene just as the 12 TSFs cause chaos and mayhem as they cut through the lines. The Tanks and Arm Slaves stop to support the 12 TSFs, using this as an advantage the Black Knights and the JLF remnants charge to the line breaking the final defense of the Viceroy's Palace. At that Tanks, Arm Slaves and Knightmare Frames entered the building to secure the parking garage and hanger.
The TF:0 Operatives has secure the top floors, the middle floor, the main floors and are now securing the parking garage and hanger. The stood and wait in the massive service elevator as it descents down to the parking garage and hanger. With a PING it open the door only to be greeted by the sounds of battle.
They quickly exit the elevator and regroup behind a concrete wall. Taking a peek John saw a massive battle as Britannian Infantry, Tanks and Knightmare Frames fought the Combine Force's Infantry, Mobile Gun Systems, Tanks and Arm Slaves, and the Black Knights and the JLF Knightmare Frames. John and Ken share a look and nodded. "ASH!" They both shouted to their Demolition specialist.
Ash grinned as she takes aim with her Grenade Launcher, her target the piles of Energy Fillers. With one shot the entire hanger shook like an earthquake just hit it. The Catwalk that houses the Energy Filler storage collapse on the Britannian Knightmare Frames giving the Combine Force the opening they need. "GO!" John shouted as they aim their weapons across the Catwalk, their target the Britannian Infantry. In a massive one sided gunfight the Task Force Operators killed almost all of the Britannian soldiers. The gunfight continued when the Radio blared for an announcement.
"Attention all surviving members of the Britannian armed forces! This battle has dragged on long enough. You must realize by now that your defeat can be the only outcome of this conflict. Your leaders have abandoned you, and nobody is coming to save you. Therefore, it is in everyone's best interest that you surrender. Cease fighting now, and you will not be harmed. If you choose to do so, put down your weapons and surrender to the Combine Forces. This is the only chance you will have to survive. You have ten minutes to comply." Zero announce on a open channel.
"This is Major General William Croft, acting commander of all Britannian forces of the Viceroy's Palace, we surrender." The reply was quick as all the Soldiers surrendered exiting their vehicles dropping their weapons as they surrendered to the Combine Forces. The battle is over now is the task to secure the new POWs. Area 11 now renamed back as Japan is free and most importantly Sakuradite is now under control of the Combine Forces.

I've learn that since the invention of the Knightmare Frames the Main battle tank are considered second rate equipment, obsolete so the studies for Armored Warfare turn to the Knightmare Frames instead of the tank, which the Combine Forces use improved 20th, 21st and near 22nd century studies to improved their tanks.
The Knightmare Frames uses 25 mm weapons with 105 mm sniper weapons in service making it useless against 21st Century and near 22nd Century armor. The Knightmare Frames are all useless against the Tactical Surface Fighter and Armored Mobile Master-Slave System who has superior mobility and armor which in the former's case flight capability against the Knightmare Frames. Most of them use 75mm, 60mm and 90mm weapons and 120 mm sniper weapons to combat the Knightmare Frames.

Here's the third chapter and comparison between armored forces.
I don't know the interior of the Palace only known places are the top villa/penthouse, office and the garage/hanger so I'll leave those to your imaginations.
Hope you enjoy it.
