Ărkelé

"A small town lies in the North-East..."

Preliminary
After the successful counter-offensive in the summer of 934,the Virskaian forces had reached the old border. Beyond it, in the Thesian North-East, lied Ărkelé, a small town with a small garrison defending it.

The defenders had taken their time to reinforce the town with trenches, machine gun nests, and pillboxes which made taking the town reasonably hard.

The Defence
On 21st of Quatlai, the Virskaian 7th Tank Division launched an attack on the city. Thesian defenders rushed to their stations when their recon plane spotted a column of Virskaian vehicles making their way towards the town.

Thesians inflicted massive casualities on their Virskaian foes during the defence, but eventually got overwhelmed and surrendered when their ammunition ran out.

Post-Mortem
After the events at Ărkelé, the town was nearly destroyed and all of the civilian population was deported into the Virskaian north because of their "collaboration" with Thesian defenders.
