While the ambush battle continued, the port was also engulfed in fierce combat.
Brigadier Aromeyev established his headquarters on a water tower on the periphery of the port area, using binoculars to observe the situation within the port.
"These do not seem like the Balasians' will to resist. When we landed, the Barlas Imperial Guards were scared off just by the anti-tank units using armor-piercing shells," Aromeyev put down his binoculars and turned to the Deputy Officer, "Have we captured any prisoners? Bring them over; I want to interrogate them."
"No, Brigadier, the enemy is exhibiting very strong combat will. Even when wounded, they continue to resist," the Deputy Officer reported.
The Military Bishop said, "Such a strong will to resist, could they be the Royal Family's personal troops?"
Aromeyev thought for a moment and said, "Bring over a body. I have a bad premonition."
Soon, a body was brought over and laid out in front of Aromeyev.
