On the front lines their countrymen fought the invaders along the borders. For years they fought this war to hold back small armies who were sent to probe the borders ever since 1845. It was two years ago since they were inside enemy territory of Vimasdra. Yet the enemy pushed them out towards the large mountain range. Behind them lay two cities just 100 miles away from their position. These two cities had a history of dealing with invaders for centuries and fielded their own small armies of militia. All day they fired rounds of artillery shells at the oncoming enemy columns of poorly built armored vehicles that moved like snails through a sea of corpses.
Sitting on a small hill an artillery squadron manned the hill they were ordered to hold. Although they had troops at the front holding the enemy back from trenches, pillboxes, and foxholes, there was still a few lines of reserves and artillery. In one artillery squadron were one or two artillery guns, a five man team working the gun, two fire teams defending the flank, and two more behind them providing supporting fire. Twenty Vestrisians fired their weapons over the heads of those ahead of them at a company of strange invaders who scurried out of their light APC's. Three of the artillery squadron's fire teams had heavy and light machine guns sending bursts after the small creatures in uniforms who were drafted by the Nazdar. One of the fire teams had only three members the squadron leader either a Captain or Lieutenant was shouting out orders. The rest of the squadron members were armed with rifles, repeaters, and sub machine guns.
Vestrisians is what they called themselves, because of their continent was known as Vestrisia. It was made up of many states, nations, kingdoms and was home to many other races. United as a Union of Republics and States these Vestrisians were willing to fight the invaders and push back once the enemy wore itself out. Captain Loaverik barked at his Lieutenant to keep the shells coming as a unit of Grevaskii pressed the advance on the front trenches. He paused for a moment to see other squadrons doing the same thing only they had different targets. In his head he calculated more than a few hundred artillery pieces firing on the advancing invaders. His teams had to take on the responsibilities in shifts. Each team had to protect the flank, give supporting fire, and man the artillery piece. To his misfortune he had to rely on the ammunition crews to bring in more shells their way.
