The Battle of New York City (14-17 August 2016) was the decisive battle of the Russian invasion of the United States during World War III. The Russian Army took over much of New York City, but the Americans fought back in an intense battle that led to much destruction, including the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. In the end, the US Army defeated the Russians by destroying their jammer and turning their submarines' missiles against their own fleet, driving the Russians from America.
Background[]
On 13 August 2016, Ultranationalist Russia launched a major offensive against the United States on their Eastern Seaboard, with a huge surprise attack leading to US forces being fooled. For two days the US forces fought a tough war against the Russian Army, and their capital of Washington DC was nearly overrun. However, the Battle of Washington DC resulted in a decisive American victory, leaving the Russian forces scattered. The American forces proceeded to counterattack, and New York City was the last bastion of Russian forces on the East Coast.
Battle[]
The Americans deployed several units to fight the Russians, who overwhelmed Midtown Manhattan and set up a jammer on Wall Street. This inflicted heavy losses on the US Air Force, and the Russians had the advantage. As a result, Overlord dispatched a team of Delta Force operatives from Bennett Field to assault the jammer in a special operation. They assisted the fight down Wall Street, and they destroyed the jammer with thermite charges after taking over the trading floor from the Russian troops. The destruction of the jammer allowed for the Americans to launch a counterattack on land, but the Russian navy still posed a threat. Russian forces fell back towards the river as JDAMs pounded their installations in the city, and they formed a new front line along the East River. The three Russian positions in Jersey City were taken out at the same time, taking out the Russians there; in Brooklyn and Queens, the Russian targets were also destroyed.
Overlord dispatched the Delta Force team Metal 0-1 to the collapsed Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, where they prepared for the assault on the leading ship in the Russian fleet. The Russian command submarine was Olga, an Oscar II-class submarine with enough missiles to level the eastern seaboard. The Delta Force team attacked the submarine and entered it, fighting its way to the command center and killing Captain Vladan Igoshin and several of his crew members. With the ship in American hands, the Delta Force turned its missiles against dozens of other Russian ships before fleeing, and the Russian navy in the Hudson River was destroyed. The Russians were sent packing, and the Battle of New York City ended in a decisive American victory. The Russians were driven out of the United States in the battle, and New York was a great victory that led to President Vorshevsky considering making peace with America.
