New Mombasa 105 East: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

During the [[Battle of Earth]], the Covenant attacked NM 105 E, and indiscriminately destroyed a large number of civilian transports and vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses, holding the critical highway as a major choke point against attacking forces and a major conduit of transportation to assist their occupation efforts of Mombasa. The Covenant positioned over a dozen [[Ghost]] assault vehicles, four [[Banshee]]s, and three [[Wraith]]s, several [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]]s, along with a large number of infantry, including [[Sangheili|Elite]]s, [[Yanme'e|Drone]]s, [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s, and [[Unggoy|Grunt]]s, to hold the NM 105 E.

There was a UNSC effort to rally scattered defenders across the city and retake it, with a major objective of launching an assault on the city center and boarding the Covenant [[~~Regret's assault carrier|assault carrier~~]] there in an attempt to capture or kill the [[Prophet of Regret]], a major Covenant religious leader. [[John-117]], who was spearheading the attempt, was forced to assault the NM 105 E to reach the city center, and almost singlehandedly retook the highway, with occasional Marine reinforcements arriving from side entrances in [[Warthog]]s. NM 105 E took a considerable amount of structural damage that caused debris to litter the driving surface. As a result of this, high-speed vehicles that crossed their path during the assault would inadvertently run over the debris and occasionally be propelled several meters into the air.

In the middle of his attack, the Covenant attempted to regroup, reinforcing their positions with several [[Shadow]] transports, but were ultimately unsuccessful. Meanwhile, a Covenant Scarab walker tore a path from Old Mombasa to New Mombasa above NM 105 E, stepping over it, and decimating a Marine [[platoon]] that was sent to destroy it. John-117 was eventually able to retake the Old Mombasa segment on NM 105 E, despite significant Covenant resistance and ambushes. Upon reaching the bridge that bridged the two segments of NM 105 E, he re-joined the sole survivors of the entire Marine platoon, and was reinforced by a [[M808B Scorpion Tank]] that was air-dropped by a [[Pelican Dropship]] under the command of [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]].
