For weeks, both sides have exchanged artillery fire until the landscape has been turned into a hellscape of craters reminiscent of Verdun. Last night, the 20th Mechanized Division achieved the impossible: breaking the "Geza Line" and penetrating hostile territory. But victory has a bitter taste.

The enemy has not fled; they have lured us into a trap." INTEL: THE ENCIRCLEMENT OF THE 20th DIVISION (BADME) 2.
