Cetsencalia front: Difference between revisions

Beginning on April 20th, 2022, the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] began an extensive bombing campaign on the corridor between Barrafranca and the Urcean lines west of New Constanz. On 31 May 2022, forces of the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] began the largest Urcean ground offensive of the war to that point as a major armored spearhead broke through Varshani defensive lines a few hundred kilometers west of New Constanz, beginning a push to liberate the "Pentapolis" - a grouping of Veltorine settlements sitting in the plain west of New Constanz. Elements of II Armored Legion New Yustona exploited a reorganization of Varshani defenses prompted by a change in the aerial campaign and penetrated fifteen miles into the Varshani line by 4 June, capturing vital supply depots and the major airfield in the territory, causing significant logistical issues for Varshani forces largely reliant on the north-south highway and railway corridor extending to New Constanz. With the possibility of their headquarters being captured by 6 June and being cut off from their primary base of supply, most Varshani forces abandoned their defense of the coastal region and attempted to rally in the three eastern cities of the Pentapolis in order to prevent New Constanz from becoming a salient. Most Varshani forces, harassed by the RAF and attack helicopters of the Royal and Imperial Army, did not reach the regroup zone and were destroyed or otherwise had to abandon their equipment. The command of the Xiquipilli of Continental Liberation decided to entirely abandon the region and create a new defensive line surrounding the New Constanz-Interior transport corridor.
