Yesterday at 0700 hours, the Rheinland Fleet moved out to Texas. 6 Rheinland Battleships and the pilots of the WRF started the attack at 0715. They did significant damage to the Liberty Fleet. My wing - Leutnant Sarah Austerlitz and [color=#33CC00]Feldwebel Theo Sittlingen, entered Texas at 0738. The libertonians were awaiting us. They brought a cruiser and a few fighters to guard the jump gate. We were under heavy fire, when the WRF came to assist us.
As we were heading to Houston, we encountered the LSF. I ordered my wing to engage them, but the Liberty Battleship made our job more difficult. I requested immediate capital ship support, but nothing happened. Fortunately, we managed to take down a few fighters, and made the LSF flee.
Planet Houston was highly defended by capital ships. I made an extraction point at the Hudson jump gate, but 2 capital ships followed us. I can't dissemble the fear in my eyes, when I saw the Leutnant's Wraith torning into pieces by 2 missile from the battleship. Thank God, the Leuntant managed to eject from his fighter, before the missiles hit the Wraith. We took her escape pod back to Westfallen.
In the end, my wing returned to Westfallen, with loosing only one fighter. The Navy didn't follow us to Hudson, I think there were more Military vessels in Texas.
To Leutnant Austerlitz and Feldwebel Sittlingen. You did an excellent job under my command. I'll recommend both of you for the award of the Iron Cross. You've earned it, soldiers. Keep up the good work.
Signed,
Major Joachim Landers,
