Prelude to the Final Battle

After another grueling day of combat, Richard, Graves, and their team of ten Special Forces managed to neutralize the threats surrounding the strategic location of Tianjin. The cost of this victory was steep for the Joint Forces, which comprised both Blackwatch and United States Forces. The operation resulted in three hundred personnel either killed or wounded in the line of duty. Additionally, the battle took a significant toll on their equipment, with ten aircraft and twenty land vehicles either destroyed or rendered inoperable due to the intense confrontations.
