Chapter 19: Sweep!

Sweep - Battle of South Asiansenstan / Great War of South Asiansenstan

The wild history of the Tasman Empire truly exposes the historical facts that the remnants of the war have repeatedly tried to cover up, and the founders of Assenstein have also had helplessness and sorrow under the glory of the light. www.biquge.info The ancient Tasman Empire, the once powerful imperial army, is still producing brilliant victories when it is about to fall. Did you know that the victory trumpets of the Imperial armies have been echoing on the battlefield for millennia. On the occasion of the death of the country, the horn of victory sounded again, the third article of the victory series of the dead country, "Sweep".

The year 96 of the B century was the year of the fall of the Tasman Empire. The Tasman Empire, a huge country built by the people of the empire who were born into a barbarian race, fought again and again, and was once the third most powerful country in the world, it was once so powerful and glorious. The people who founded this country were warlike and valiant in battle, and even at the moment of the fall of the empire, they fought actively, and won many major victories, enough to shine in the annals of history, but these victories that should have been brilliant in the annals of history were covered up as much as possible by the final victors, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see their traces, and only in the internal books of the army that recorded the true history, the victories of these fallen countries still existed almost real.

This article is the result of the compilation and collation of confidential military materials left by both sides in the Tasman Empire's War and the Yasenstan War, which can ensure 100% historical authenticity, but these are definitely not the histories told by historical authorities, and they will never be open to the public. (Public history is not necessarily true history.) Students, you must be clear that what is in history textbooks is not necessarily real history, but more propaganda and education. )

。。。

The following is the specific battle process of the Battle of South Yasenstan:

First, the cause of the war

On 22 July B96, the Battle of Vaham-Lumslar ended in a miraculous and complete victory for the Imperial Army. The rebels had planned to capture Waham, and the rebel armies from the north and south were linked together. But the result backfired, under the city of Waham, the southern rebel army suffered extremely heavy casualties, and the main force participating in the battle was already crushed under the counterattack and pursuit of the imperial army; The rebel army in the north was also defeated, and many points in the rear were seized by the Imperial army, and the aid arms and supplies of our army in these areas became the trophies of the Tasman Imperial Army. For a short period of time, the battlefield initiative on the Eastern Front seemed to have fallen into the hands of the Tasman Empire.

Under the city of Waham, the vast majority of the defeated rebel troops fled into the areas controlled by the northern rebels, and the northern rebels received much-needed reinforcements, but the actual loss of personnel was not large, but many of these newly replenished soldiers were empty-handed, and many were wounded. The northern rebel army suffered serious damage and loss of heavy equipment, and the actual combat effectiveness of the participating units was much worse than before, and even some units even developed a phobia of the Tasman Imperial Army. If the Tasman Imperial Army, which has seized the initiative in the war, seizes the fighter planes and launches a large-scale attack on the Northern rebel army, the Northern Army may collapse.

In early July B96, in order to defend the fruits of victory and ensure the smooth digestion of the original territory of the Tasman Empire, Speaker Caesar proposed to fully support the pro-Chinese North Asianseman army and launch a fatal blow to the Tasman Empire, which still maintained a strong military force. The proposal was unanimously adopted by Parliament. Failing to achieve the goal of armed intervention, our army (United Imperial Army of San Roman) planned to organize 43 newly formed divisions rebuilt from the former Imperial Army units in the control area, 16 field divisions of our army's former Southwest Frontier Military Region, and a large number of supplementary troops from the former Imperial Army insurgents, totaling more than 1.2 million elite troops in the name of volunteers to join the Northern Rebel Army's battle sequence.

From mid-July to early August B96, the first "volunteers" entered the territory of Assenstan and were immediately deployed to the front. The first batch of volunteers consisted mainly of foreign units of the Imperial Army that had been incorporated into our National Defense Forces. These units are already our army's standard in terms of establishment, heavy weapons allocation, and tactical coordination training, and even the military uniforms are our army's standard uniforms, and they only changed their cockades nearly a month after they arrived in the war zone.

On July 23, B96, these volunteer units appeared for the first time in the line of fire on both sides, the soldiers were wearing the uniforms of the Saint-Roman Imperial Army, holding submachine guns or carbines of the United Imperial Army, but under the military hats were not the faces of the Saint-Romans, but the aliens who had been trampled under the feet of the Imperial Army. The arrival of the "Pseudo-United Imperial Army" was quite frightening to the Imperial Army, which almost meant the direct entry of the United Imperial Army of San Romain into the war. It is clear that the pro-St. Roman Empire's Northern Rebel Army of Asenstan may be stronger than before, which politically means that the United Empire will come to the aid of the Northern Rebel Army at any cost. The Tasman Empire Army did not have the confidence or strength to launch a war of annihilation against the Northern Rebel Army, and the Tasman Empire Army Command did not want to gamble and could not gamble. The Cabinet and the Imperial High Command unanimously decided to postpone the attack on the rebel army in northern Yasenstan and first annihilate the weaker rebel army in South Yasenstan, so as to rescue more than 300,000 regular army troops of their own side that were caught by the rebel army in the central plateau of Asenstan by the rebel army from the north and south. Pinch a soft persimmon that is easy to fight, and then the campaign against the rebel army in North Yasenstan depends on the specific participation of the United Imperial Army.

In order to concentrate forces, from 26 July, the elite of the Imperial Army began to withdraw from key points such as Lumslar and Maqal as quickly as possible, taking with them captured munitions and large quantities of supplies. These units withdrew to their original defense areas to prevent a possible attack by the northern rebel forces of Yasenstan. The newly formed troops urgently transferred from the rear were concentrated in the area around Vaham. On 28 July, most of the captured heavy weapons and supplies were returned to the rear of the Tasman Army's own side of the front; The attack troops transferred from the rear were also basically in position.

On 29 July, the Imperial Assault Force launched the Battle of South Asianstein.

Second, the tragic sweep

On 29 July, the Imperial Army launched a large-scale offensive against the South Asian Senstan rebels.

In this offensive, the Imperial Army transferred only two new assault infantry divisions (numbered the New 1st Division and the New 2nd Division), which were the fist troops formed by the Empire's special transfer of capable personnel and heavy equipment from other units for the great counterattack. These infantry divisions were reinforced by a divisional heavy artillery regiment (36 heavy guns of 100mm or more) and a cavalry regiment on the basis of the original infantry division. The brigade-level establishment was abolished, and the division directly subordinated four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, one heavy artillery regiment, and one infantry supplementary regiment. The regiment had a heavy fire battalion, 12 80mm infantry guns, 12 13mm heavy machine guns. In terms of firepower at the battalion and company levels, emphasis was placed on increasing the number of light machine gun automatic carbines, and an unconventional number of grenades were issued. The division has a standard establishment of 14,000 personnel, and the division has 36 heavy guns, 48 infantry guns, 48 heavy machine guns, and about 150 to 200 light machine guns. The Imperial General Staff had planned to form a new-style group army based on this type of division, but it was eventually abandoned due to unfavorable combat conditions and lack of heavy weapons.

(The elite infantry division of the Tasman Imperial Army has two brigades and four regiments, as well as other logistical support units.) The brigade has a heavy firearms battalion equipped with 6 heavy machine guns and 12 80mm infantry guns; Each regiment has about 1,500 men, with three battalions and a machine gun company, equipped with 4 13mm heavy machine guns and 4 light machine guns; The infantry battalion consists of three companies, each usually armed with 6 to 9 light machine guns, 2-3 per company. There are more than 7,500 officers and soldiers in the division. Individual infantry light weapons are average, with 1 rifle, 1 revolver and 1 broadsword per person. Heavy machine gun caliber 13 mm, light machine gun rifle caliber 6 mm, revolver gun 13 mm. There were only 24 80mm infantry guns in the division, and there were no heavy guns. )

This new type of fist unit showed great power in the first battle, and this type of unit used new tactics to carry out penetration operations and attack operations. First of all, the predetermined breakthrough area was attacked with heavy artillery fire, and repeated artillery fire was repeated many times, killing and wounding a large number of defenders in this area, reducing the resistance to the breakthrough to a minimum, and then carrying out the breakthrough from this predetermined location. Usually carried out in regimental units, the infantry was equipped with a large number of equipment to attack the enemy in the trenches, such as automatic carbines that were deployed to the company level, and each platoon was issued with hundreds of grenades, and the easy-to-use simple black powder blasting canisters for individual soldiers. During a breakthrough operation, the assault troops form an assault formation with various combat units, cover each other, use grenades, blasting canisters and other weapons to destroy the enemy's barbed wire area, break into the enemy's trench fortifications, and use automatic carbines, Mauser combat pistols, grenades and other close-range combat weapons to clear the enemy troops in the trenches. When attacking in depth, all infantry units and subordinate fire support units of this type of unit carry out alternate cover leaps and deployments with infantry and artillery coordination. The infantry artillery bombarded the firing point, the automatic carbine gunner opened the way in front, the rear heavy machine gun provided fire support, the rifleman protected the carbine group machine gun group, the grenadier continuously threw grenade barrage to cover and annihilate the enemy troops in the trench, the infantry artillery group artillery fire support accompanied the follow-up, and carried out fire strikes according to the objectives indicated by the attacking infantry unit.

On 29 July, a day of great terror for the rebel army in South Asianstan, the new troops invested by the Imperial Army used new tactics to carry out a fairly effective attack on the rebel line, and the military exercises generally broke through the rebel line without any problems......

The first to be attacked are the forward defensive support points. These support points are usually based on villages, with ring trenches dug on the outside, and usually barbed wire barrier belts are constructed outside the trenches. Machine gun fire points were built dozens of meters inside the ring trench, and some of the houses around the fortified village were also converted into machine gun fire points. The garrison is usually at the company level, but it is reinforced with heavy machine-gun fire, and a few support points are even equipped with infantry guns, which can be very good at blocking enemy attacks.

On the morning of 29 July, the Imperial Army launched two new assault infantry divisions to attack. Hundreds of well-trained elite infantry, using blasters and grenades to blast through the barbed wire, and before the rebel machine gunners who were dodging the artillery fire could take position, these Imperial troops rushed into the trenches, and then used combat pistols and carbines to attack the rebels in the trenches. These guns used by the Imperial Army have a fast rate of fire and a short body, making them ideal for use in tight spaces at close range. The rebels had only long rifles, which were slow to fire and long, and their guns were far weaker in speed and volume than those of the Imperial troops who broke into the trenches. The rebels in the trenches were suppressed. The machine-gun fire points behind the trenches could not find obvious targets for firing and could not support friendly forces; The Imperial forces approached these firing points from the flanks, grenades stuffed into the firing ports. Soon, the defenders of this forward support point were wiped out. The Imperial Army at many nearby support points succeeded in concocting the same method, and tore a big hole in the rebel defense line that morning.

Next, you can directly attack the core points of the depth of the defensive line. The core defense points of this area are mainly fortified towns along the communication line. The rebel army relied on the buildings of the town to build a ring defense system. Trenches and trenches were dug around the town to hold back the high-speed onslaught of enemy cavalry, and buildings around the town and on important lines of communication were converted into pillboxes, and the core fortified buildings were transformed into fortresses. The garrison is usually battalion-sized and has individual points of two or three battalions.

The Imperial Army used infantry artillery coordination tactics in their attacks on these points. Infantry artillery almost closely followed the assault troops, suppressing enemy machine-gun positions and direct-aim artillery fire; The infantry penetrators advanced in a low posture until they were a few dozen meters away from the enemy's position and threw multiple rounds of grenades, and then got up and attacked. The forward knife troops concentrated on automatic fire, and the moment they opened fire, they suppressed the enemy with rifles and smoothly rushed into the position. Subsequently, the defenders used combat pistols and grenades to clear the defenders in street fighting, while some units combined with artillery to advance along the main streets. For corner machine-gun fire points and inaccessible forts, the infantry artillery units that followed up were destroyed by direct fire. Almost all points were lost within two hours.

At noon on the same day, these breakthrough troops broke through the defense line of the rebel army in an all-round way and advanced in depth, breaking through the defense line of the rebel army in an all-round way.

At the same time that the infantry units were attacking the points of the defense in depth, the Imperial cavalry units entered the battle, launching a high-speed assault into the hinterland of the rebel-controlled area, and outflanking the defensive line. Under the blows of the intruding enemy cavalry units, the rear of the rebel army was in disarray. Several of the rebels' rear points were captured by the Imperial cavalry, and the elite infantry units of the Imperial Army who followed up took over the garrison.

By dusk of the same day, the actual front had moved more than 40 kilometers to the side of the rebels, and even 60 kilometers behind the line of defense there were Imperial cavalry movements. The defenders of the front line are actually on the enemy side of the front, in other words, the front line defenders are surrounded by the Imperial army. Over the next few days, the Imperial forces on the front line continued to advance, handing over the rebel forces in the rear of these lines to the follow-up forces for annihilation. The Imperial Army in the rear adopted all kinds of intelligent tactics to annihilate it. For the besieged rebel army who did not understand the temperament of the imperial army and had illusions, they were lured to surrender, disarmed and slaughtered en masse. Those rebel armies who had combat effectiveness and knew the Imperial Army tricked the children into breaking through and setting up ambushes in the middle of the field to annihilate them. For the children who decided to stay on the spot and wait for help, the Imperial Army also used smart assaults, poison gas shells, night sneak attacks, pretending to be reinforcements to blend into enemy positions, and other dark means to break through. By noon on August 3, the rebel forces in the rear of the Imperial Army had been completely wiped out. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100,000 defenders of these defensive line support points and fortified strongholds. This may be the main force of the entire second line of the Nayasenstein rebel army. A large number of people in the garrison were also wiped out on the grounds that they supported the rebels and provided them with large numbers of soldiers and supplies. It is also true that the people of Assenstan, who have long been disgruntled with the Tasman Empire, have been robbed of their wealth by inflation for generations, and any local people will side with their own national rebel army. The order received by the Imperial Army participating in the war was to completely sweep the area controlled by the rebel army, eliminate all the locals, kill them all, kill them all, and leave no one behind......

In front of the Tasman Empire army, which raised their butcher knives, the only hope for the locals to survive was the South Asian Senstan rebel army, whose own children were the main soldiers. This is an armed force expanded after the uprising of the Yasen Imperial Army in this area, although it is outnumbered, but the equipment is far inferior to that of the Northern Army. The rebels had collected all the available arms and smuggled them from abroad by all means, and after exhausting all the resources they could, the rebels were barely able to manage to have a small weapon for everyone, and there was a serious shortage of machine guns, although the elite troops on the front line were heavily equipped with submachine guns purchased from the St. Mary's Empire. In terms of light weapon allocation, it should also be absolutely superior to the elite units of the Imperial Army. However, in terms of heavy weapons, this rebel army is weaker than the elite troops of the Imperial Army. The main force of the rebel army, the old base troops, had some artillery, and the second-line troops had some small artillery mortars bought from the international market, and the third-line troops used as supplementary troops only had one light weapon, and there was no artillery.

On the side of the South Yasenstan rebel army, because the main force of the first line was defeated under the city of Waham, most of the remaining troops retreated to the north, and a large number of troops deployed on the defensive line were besieged by the enemy, and the South Yasenstan rebel army, which once had a strength of more than 700,000, could not transfer reinforcements. In the face of the menacing Imperial Army, the South Asian Senstan Rebel Army did not have enough mobile defense troops on the front line to organize an effective counterattack, and there were not enough troops in the rear to block the breakthrough enemy army and continue to attack the deep hinterland, and it seemed inevitable to be beaten by the Imperial Army.

The rebels' final option, and what seemed to be the only viable option, was to shrink their defenses, secure the points, and call for help from friendly forces in nearby North Yasenstan. This means counting entirely on others to save oneself, a choice that seems to have doomed the rebels and these ordinary people to tragedy from the start. In fact, the rebel army has another way, not to surrender, even if it loses all the second-line troops deployed on the defensive line, the rebel army can save itself and repel the enemy's attack on its own. At that time, the South Yasenstan Rebel Army also had two first-line main armies, the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army, and two quasi-first-line armies formed by the combination of elite independent divisions, the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army. These four armies, including the units of the second-line independent divisions that can be used, have a total available strength of no less than 200,000 men, and with these troops, it is completely possible to open up a line of communication with the northern rebel army, or to coordinate the main force of the northern army to the south, or to flee to the north. Even if you lack the courage to take the initiative to attack, it is completely possible to use these 200,000 combatable units to maneuver and eat the vanguard division of the Imperial Army.

This tragic rebel army chose the next of the next strategies, and shrank back and was passively beaten, waiting for the enemy to come to the door and annihilate themselves. Their demise seemed inevitable, but no one could have imagined that this inevitable event would come sooner than either side had expected.

Three, an unexpected ending

On 2 August B96, on the fifth day of the Battle of South Yasenstein, the St. Mary's Empire tore up the peace agreement with the Tasman Empire, and the Imperial armoured forces entered the Tasman Empire from the Crystal River Valley, or more precisely into the territory controlled by the rebels. At this time, the St. Mary's Empire came to grab territory, and it also used a nice banner - to help friendly neighbors put down rebellions.

The St. Mary's Empire believed that the South Yasenstan rebel army at that time was a soft persimmon, and the second- and third-line troops of the rebel army were absolutely vulnerable in front of the regular army of the empire. In the face of the steely armored forces of the St. Mary's Empire, not only the second and third line troops of the rebel army were scattered, but even the elite first-line army chose to surrender. On the afternoon of 3 August, St. Mary's Imperial Army attacked the heavily fortified Rowling Pass, where the defenders of the 4th Army in South Asiansenstan surrendered the next day. Subsequently, on 5 August, the 7th Army and a number of 2nd and 3rd line troops stationed in the Ruzere Forest voluntarily surrendered to the Imperial Army of St. Mary's, welcoming the surrendered personnel of the Imperial Army of St. Mary's as if they were welcoming reinforcements. In the eyes of these surrendering troops, the St. Mary's Imperial Army is their savior, and if they do not surrender, they can only be completely annihilated under the attack of the Tasman Imperial Army.

However, the Imperial Army of St. Mary's was not the savior they imagined, and most of these surrendered troops were used as cannon fodder and consumed in the ensuing war. In the years that followed, local civilians were driven to the northern part of the country, where they were forced to rectify the Fa on the spot. With the arrival of St. Mary's immigrants from the Empire, South Asiansenstan became a clean Hallelujah region. This was acquiesced in by the United Empire, and it was a reward for the full participation of the Imperial Army of St. Mary's in the war.

The South Jasenstein rebels collapsed under the attack of St. Mary's and the Tasman Empire, but the St. Mary's Empire occupied large swaths of the Tasman Empire. I don't know if this is good or bad for the Tasman Empire. What happened next was a mixture of joy and sorrow for the Tasman Empire.

On August 4, the seventh day of the campaign, the United Imperial Army deployed to participate in the battle. The United Imperial Army began a tentative assault on the besieged Imperial Army in the Central Plateau. The Tasman Imperial Army stationed here was already exhausted, short of food and ammunition, and had to fight and retreat. In the days that followed, our troops followed the retreating Tasman Army unhurriedly and occupied the area under the control of the Imperial Army, while the North Yasenstan Insurgent Army followed behind our army, covering the flanks and consolidating the occupied area. On August 11, the Central Plateau fell into the hands of our troops. In return for "cooperating" with our army, the more than 300,000 Tasman Imperial troops trapped here withdrew almost intact through South Asiansenstan to a safe area. They also took with them a large number of their own Empire civilians, along with civilians in the areas of the Native Settlements that had been regained control by the Imperial Army of South Yassenstan, bringing a total of 120,000 new Native recruits to the Imperial Army.

Also on 4 August, the Tasman Army began an all-out assault on Grienral, which had already been encircled by the Imperial Army on the morning of 3 August, the capital of the South Yassenstan rebels, where the 5th and 6th Armies of the rebels were stationed.

"Assault at 6 o'clock in the morning." "Blow the Imperial Cavalry Charge."

"Order the heavy artillery regiment to open fire and use up all the heavy artillery ammunition."

"Rush, warriors of the Empire, the god of victory protects us."

"All infantry artillery groups follow closely with the shock infantry, aim directly at the enemy's pillboxes at close range, and dare to fire within 100 meters and hit hard."

"Brethren, get on the bayonet, for the honor of the Empire! Come on! Rush up and kill them all. ”

"The nest of the rebels is right in front of you, there is a house full of gold and silver, defeat them, and all the gold and silver treasures are ours. Offensive! ”

"Brothers, these rebels can't hold it anymore, rush forward and kill them all!"

"Concentrate machine gun fire, hit hard, and call the artillery to fire at the south gate of the city, and the enemy wants to break through from there."

"Search the bodies and see if there are any silver dollars." "There is an order from above, and no chickens and dogs will be left in the city."

(Our army estimates that there are at least 136,200 rifles with 70 million to 84 million rounds of ammunition in the two districts of Lumslar and Makaral; 14,300 submachine guns with 42 million rounds of ammunition - 70 million rounds, 1,600 light machine guns with 15.8 million rounds of ammunition. These light weapons alone can arm an army of 160,000 people, as well as 16 150mm heavy howitzers, 54 old 105mm combat stock howitzers, more than 100 mortars of various calibers, and up to 120,000 rounds of various shells. Almost all of these weapons fell into the hands of the Tasman Empire. In addition to a large number of armed new troops, the Imperial Army also made extensive use of these weapons in the war of annihilation against the South Asian Senstan rebels. According to the survivors of the Asenstein Army who broke through, the Imperial Army did not seem to be short of heavy artillery and heavy artillery ammunition at that time, and the Imperial Army was also equipped with a large number of automatic weapons. The rebels thought they could rely on the large number of submachine guns purchased from the St. Mary's Empire to form a firepower advantage in street fighting, but they were defeated by the Imperial Army, which was also equipped with a large number of captured submachine guns. )

At 6 p.m. on August 5, B96, the Tasman Army captured Grienral. The rebels defending it were almost completely wiped out. Previously, the other main forces of the South Yasenstan Rebel Army had surrendered to the St. Mary's Imperial Army, which meant that the entire South Yasenstan Rebel Army had been annihilated.

…………

IV. The results and significance of the Battle of South Yasenstan:

The rebel side was completely defeated, the southern rebel army in Yasen was annihilated, and the northern rebel army that came to the rescue also suffered heavy losses. This battle was the first battle launched by the Tasman Empire after seizing the initiative on the battlefield through the Battle of Waham-Lumslar, and it can be regarded as a key battle in the counterinsurgency war. The battle was brilliant, basically annihilating the southern Yasenist rebel army, and the southern Yasenstan rebel army, which had a total strength of as many as 700,000, was almost completely wiped out, and the 300,000 regular troops of the Tasman Empire, which was caught between the north and the south, were freed from the siege, and the local settlement area regained control by the imperial army also made the imperial army add 120,000 native recruits. This battle was supposed to be a turning point in the entire counterinsurgency war, but due to external interference and many other factors, the imperial army once again lost the initiative on the battlefield. After the war, the United Empire of Saint-Roman increased its assistance to the rebels. The Tasman Imperial Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the follow-up forces were already seriously insufficient, and the heavy equipment was also seriously insufficient. Later in the campaign, the Imperial Army of St. Mary's took advantage of the fire to seize the strategic Rowling Pass and other places and a large area of South Asiansenstan, so that the Imperial Army could not achieve the victory it deserved.

V. Postscript:

In the two days of August 4 and August 5, the most tragic annihilation and massacre of the city in the Battle of South Asiansenstan was staged. The main force of the Nayasenstein rebel army stationed in Grienlar was annihilated except for a few breakouts. The massacre that followed lasted for another two days. On 8 August, the Imperial Army began to retreat, not only from Grienral, which was already a city of corpses, but also from all of South Asianstein.

The South Yasenstein region is barren and its agricultural output is difficult to feed a large army, but it is rich in minerals such as coal and iron, as well as a silver mine. The rebels here relied entirely on minerals for food from the St. Mary's Empire, which controlled the Crystal River Valley, and also from the St. Mary's Empire. After the massacre, it was almost a no-man's land, and not even a small army could feed it. Even without the threat of enemy troops, the Tasman Empire could not defend the place, only to evacuate. For the same reason, the Tasman Army also withdrew from the Central Plateau, which had been slaughtered into a no-man's land.

Subsequently, under the pressure of the St. Mary's Imperial Army and the United Imperial Army, the remaining Tasman Army in mid-August gathered in the western border area of Yasenstan, where they established a solid defense, known as the "Eastern Barrier". The shrinking defense that the Tasman Imperial Army had been trying to carry out was actually completed with the help of the United Imperial Army and the St. Mary's Imperial Army. At this time, both the Imperial Army of St. Mary and the United Imperial Army of our United Empire were in trouble. Because the large no-man's land created by the Tasman Empire massacre in the rear of the front-line troops could not provide logistical supplies for the large forces, and it was impossible to prevent an effective offensive in a short time. Both armies chose to retreat, leaving the front-line fighting to the various nomadic rebel armies that could easily solve the logistical supply. (Some historians believe that the heavy losses suffered by the United Empire and St Mary's were the real reason for the cessation of the Tasman Empire's attack.) )

This seemed like a rare opportunity for the Tasman Empire, which, in accordance with the optimistic plan of the Imperial General Staff, would launch a counterattack in September to regain the initiative in the war. But the Tasman Empire eventually gave up, and the large area of no man's land was also an obstacle to the Imperial Army's attack, and there was no point in taking it. As a result, there was a joyful scene on the battlefield that no one had taken the red land for thousands of miles. With the only regular army in the rebel army, the army of the Republic of Asenstan withdrawn from the fighting, the battlefield live in September, October, November was more like a game of baby soldiers. There is a senseless war of attrition going on the front.

The Imperial Army generally lacked heavy firepower, automatic weapons, and even light weapons and ammunition, and its firepower and tactics could only gradually move closer to the guerrilla mode, and could no longer stop offensive campaign operations at or above the military level. The rebel army on the other side of the battle line was originally a rabble, they had an ample supply of ammunition, automatic fire and heavy firepower of the superpower, but they could not fight a decent battle. The two sides continued to attack and kill each other with divisional units, and the exchange of fire between battalion and regimental units was staged every day. The fighting on the front line is still fierce, and the casualties are definitely not small. In the engagement, the rebel army with inferior tactics always relied on its firepower superiority to inflict no less than its own casualties on the Imperial Army, and many officers and soldiers of the elite units of the Imperial Army were gradually consumed in this low-level battle. There are fewer and fewer replenishments in the rear of the Imperial Army, and the munitions provided by our Combined Imperial Army and St. Mary's Imperial Army have also been greatly depleted, but they have all achieved their ultimate goal.

It can be said that in the Eastern Front theater in the later stages of the Lost Nation War, the war ran at a meaningless low level. The generals of the Imperial Army, who were heavily armed, felt extremely depressed, and they silently stocked up on weapons and ammunition......

In December B96, the contradictions gathered within the empire reached a critical point, and a civil war broke out in the imperial army.
