As daylight rose, Mason was in an awkward and strange position. There was 40 burning trucks in the distance and not a lot of indication that the men who had been inside of those trucks...Not a lot of indication they were alive. After his allies got ambushed and so many of their trucks got damaged or wrecked.... The Canadians had opened fire, and the enemy had either routed or realized they lost too many trucks to have much of an impact going forward. However, a good chunk of the enemy trucks had stalled, been shot up, or gotten confused. A chunk of them opened fire upon the allied trucks and damaged, killed a few more of them.
The ones who had not fled or retreated were slaughtered, as they had been yelled at to surrender and had not done so. Drone footage over the battlefield estimated about 200 of the enemy were dead, and there was no clue as to where the enemy had gone.
Mason was contacted and told that in 24 hours, reinforcements would come from Burkina Faso, they would be traveling through the areas that Mason's forces had recently "liberated". Mason was also informed that after all of this help he was getting, he was obligated to help Burkina Faso "liberate" the northern parts of their country.
In Burkina Faso, the jihadists had been a very serious problem. One so bad that coups and protests were constant, as people were always angry that the jihadists were doing raid after raid, with little resistance. Thankfully, the Jihadists were unable to work together, as some of them were pro-ISIS and others were pro-Al-Qaeda. Last night, encouraged by the taking of Gao, they had joined forces with the GIN. This was very very bad. The people in the capitol of Burkina Faso, there was an uprising and the government lost the capitol. There was reports of forces moving out of the city to go attack the newly recruited GIN areas. Mason felt bad, the forces that were with him now, getting shot at, could've been there to defend or retake the capitol. At the same time, almost all of the trucks that these experienced troops had moved on, were now wrecked.
Luckily, there had been a shockingly fast response and Burkina Faso's military had cooperated with militias to retake the capitol.
Mason was told that the victors of that glorious battle needed to sleep, but after they woke up they would drive 16 hours to reinforce him. The trenches had not done much good during the battle, but the diggers could now rest inside the trenches or behind the armored humvees. The Burkina Faso Colonel that was on the ground, agreed with Mason that after an attack, they were unlikely to attack again right away. Thus, it was logical that the best men, mostly infantry, should be the first to rest. After the Burkina Faso soldiers and Canadian infantry had rested, the militia and the crews of the uparmored humvees could rest.
After that was 8 hours of everyone being rested and bored, before they were reinforced.
Rolling to see if the planes can land.
