After dawn, the battle became exceptionally difficult.
The Fan Army concentrated its forces on the east and south to initiate a reprisal. The garrison troops, accurately speaking, primarily armed police personnel who had retreated into the Deogarh city area, seized the opportunity to cause trouble, such as sniping at Empire soldiers approaching the city, especially those controlling the outer crossroads, from buildings hidden on the outskirts.
At that moment, the Marines guarding the landing zone were almost surrounded on three sides by the enemy, fighting on three directions simultaneously.
The more fatal issue was that the attack aircraft guarding the Marines had returned to base before dawn, and the heavy attack aircraft rushed in had lost their support capability after dropping dozens of tons of bombs due to running out of ammunition. As for other fire support, it was even less reliable.
