Raid on Gei-fu
The Conflict
Prelude
The Riesenjager's next contract was a raid on the Capellan world of Gei-Fu. The company arrived in secret on the world January 4th, 3021 with combat initiating on January 16th.
The Engagement
Most engagements conducted were hit and run tactics, using the dense forests for cover. The Capellan forces resorted to concealing to catch the Riesenjager by surprise. This tactic resulted in at least one direct fatality when Guy Folgero landed his Shadow Hawk directly in front of a section of field guns, his cockpit was destroyed in the first round of firing.
These tactics wore down the moral and frustrated the members of the company. So the command team decided to do something drastic.
On February 21st, 3021, the Riesenjager struck at Gei-fu's primary military spaceport. The Night Hawks moved in under the darkness of night to place demolition charges on the base's air defenses. The following morning, after a patrol of aerospace fighters departed, the rest of the company attacked. A company of CCAF battlemechs were destroyed along with the infrastructure of the airbase.
These actions forced the Gei-fu government to negotiate with the company's employer (Federated Suns) in order to remove the Riesenjager from their territory.
