Operation Tetraethyllead was an offensive undertaken by the Republicans during the Sahren Civil war in 2246. The goal of the operation was to take the city of Klensagrad from the Klensagrad commune as it was a major point of industry, recruitment, and morale. The city of Klensagrad was subjected to fierce house to house fighting and artillery during the coarse of the battle.
Background
Following the Klensagrad commune splitting away from the Labour party, the peninsula fell into a stalemate. The republicans intended to win on the Bastian front first.
Opposing forces
Republicans
Prior to the operation's launchdate the Republicans allocated 11 divisions to field group black (feldgrupa Dyb in Egercian) including the volunteer divisions. These totalled to ~82,000 soldiers of which ~24,000 were Republican Guards. Overall command of feldgrupa dyb was given to general Daria Adaman. Additionally the Republicans had a total of 106 aircraft, 80 tanks, and 360 field guns.
Klensagrad commune
The Klensagrad Commune was fortifying the region for many months before the operation began. The Klensagradite people's liberation front officially had 9 divisions but only had ~52,000 soldiers. A majority of these were highly experienced from previous fighting. In overall command of the defence of the Klensagrad peninsula was general Duaren Yague.
Course of operation
Invasion of the peninsula
The operation began on (month) 2146. The first and second trench lines were overwhelmed within the first day of the operation but were stopped by heavy casualties. Republican aircraft bombed roads and railways to slow the Klensagradite retreat. As the Republicans advanced into the suburbs they had to begin clearing homes one by one against Klensagradite partisans. ~6,500 Republicans perished before even entering the city.
Battle at Klensagrad
The Klensagradite people's liberation front were well fortified in the city leading up to the invasion.
