Shells continue to rain down on Emmerian forces, while the MTHEL emplacements engage and destroy the rockets. MBT's and IFV's full of troops begin pushing back against the Emmerian forces, while the planes that were sent to bomb the defenses were shot down in the process. The bombers have created only a few holes in the defensive line, while Aribissia's own air force mounts constant air to ground strikes against Emmerian infantry and defensive positions.
