Xisheng: Difference between revisions

The heavy losses incurred in Gatua brought the [[Varshan]]i counteroffensive to a halt, as depleted units were forced to abandon their positions and be removed from the front to be replenished and refitted. The war on Xisheng took a decisive turn after [[Varshan]] ordered a  [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot|nuclear strike on Zakan Rot]] in the [[Seneca Islands]]. Fearing [[Varshan]] would use its nuclear arsenal next against a [[Daxia]]n target, Chancellor [[Prib Dodd]], without consulting LoN command, authorized a retaliatory nuclear strike to reestablish deterrence. The target decided on was the city of Shimrra, a major city in north [[Varshan]] and a key logistical base and transport hub for its forces fighting on Xisheng. The [[Atomic bombing of Shimrra]] killed over 600,000 people and injured another 200,000, it also vaporized most of the Northern Command's command and control and its supplies. Varshani commander [[Shai Malan-Zar]], fearful of a direct nuclear strike on his forces and with communication with the interior broken, opted instead to abandon the northern defenses and to the retreat from the border. This decision was compounded by a desire to not be outflanked by [[Kiravia]]n forces gaining ground in the Mountains of Terror. [[Daxia]]n forces would continue operating from Xisheng until the end of the war in 2024.
