Battle of Kueplios (8 März 1954 Jahr – 10 St 5 Nov 1954 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Oipientian loss, Fevak victory

The Fevak Army had encircled the city and began a long siege. They broke through into the outside districts and then into the outer most wall. Then they were held up outside the second outer wall for the majority of the siege.

Due to the holdup close to the start of it, the Fevak President/top general Arsavïs Golopïs, decided to use all of the bombs on the city as he said, "This city, this city is their last hope. If it stands, they stand, if it falls, they fall. Those bastards have nothing left and they will have nothing left so I want all of the bombs we have to be dropped on the city, every bomb, EVERY BOMB! Dropped, until they submit to me. [Gïnto shtesa, gïnto shtesa tamkulïm yelvoshtën vayulïm ko. Enë mïn sïlale, yelïkomas sïlale, enë mïn dïsve, yelïkomas dïsve. X̃ïvos gesonomas fïpeshketa gal yelïkomas fïpeshkera näto vïs borasht putorkecamo ïsëlo vosav zvamë shtelïm xovoresan, borem putorkem, BOREM PUTORKEM XOVORENÏSA! Bayev yelïkomas ë vïrem kïvape]" And so, the city was bombed every day starting May 12 and ending November 5, with the end of the war.

The Inner Walled Districts were bombed the most, with the outer walls having been bombed closer to the walls themselves to try to open them up. This strategy worked extremely well but by the point the Fevak soldiers had breached all of the outer walls, the Inner Walls were heavily armed and the remaining Oipientian soldiers were in almost every single house around, forcing more bombs to be dropped and extremely close quarter combat. The first inner wall to fall was in the northeastern corner of the Yelšamíšè (Northtown) District and it was breached on September 12, 1954. From then on, the Fevak soldiers tried to funnel in but were constantly being forced back outside the inner walls due to the large concentration of Oipientian soldiers. After heavy bombing directly in the area, the Fevak troops slowly poured in, trying to clear each and every house of Oipientian soldiers. However, this strategy was very flawed, causing more Fevak casualties than Oipientian in the inner walls.

The eastern portion of Yelšamíšè District was taken by the beginning of October, alongside all of Apadteca (Sunrise Gate) and Sikkenta Districts. By mid-October, all of the North Bank of the Inner Walls had been taken and that is when the entirety of the Oipientian armed forces began to collapse, with most surrendering, some remaining in position, and the rest deserting their ranks and hiding among the refugees and homeless. The entire city of Kueplios had been bombed relentlessly, leading to massive fires that took out large portions of the city. The walls had acted as firebreaks for most of the fires, but still they continued. Most of the city was not even occupied by the Fevak soldiers due to the constant destruction and massive sweeping fires taking place so most were directly outside of the city itself, resting in camps until the official declaration of peace came about.

By the end of October, only a small portion in the middle of the Èteivamíšè (Southtown) District was still held by the Oipientian Army and had not been bombed yet. The emergency Oipientian government and Kuepliot municipal government were hiding in a couple of the buildings there, but Tasak was hiding in Arkek, deep within the massive prison complex, slowly starving. So, once he ran out of food, which was on November 1, he decided to surrender and he made his way out of the catacombs in the prison to where he met with Arsavïs Golopïs to sign the Treaty of Arkek (1954) on November 5.

With the signing of the treaty, the remaining Oipientian section of Kueplios also surrendered and the federal government agents were arrested while the city government agents were allowed to remain free in order to help their city. Over 74% of Kueplios had been destroyed whether by bombs, fires, or tanks, the city had been ravaged and well over 500,000 people had been killed from its fallout. The majority of the city had become homeless and unemployed. However, the Fevak army hospital workers (who most were primarily women) stayed well after the end of the war to help those in need and they had set up thousands of emergency shelters for the refugees. The women who stayed to help began working with the Oipientian Army nurses and the two groups formed the United Fascist Nurses Association in order to better organize and aid the refugees. They had set up their headquarters in the Silver Hill Hospital, which had remained standing during the siege.

By 1960, the large majority of the city had been rebuilt as there was a great effort to rebuild after the war in order to repair Oipientian spirits.

Despite the reconstruction of Kueplios, with the start of the KNA Rebellion, the city was once again attacked by the Fascist rebels. They would throw homemade and military grade bombs into homes, leading to fires and more destruction. The rebellion in the city was quickly dealt with, albeit pushed into the underground, and the damage was no where close to the damage dealt during the Battle of Kueplios (1954), with only 7% of the city having been damaged significantly.
