Battle of Verdun

The Battle of Verdun was a major engagement during the Soviet—Kenyan War that saw the some of the most brutal and deranged fighting of the war. 
The battle began on the 18th of March with the advance of the 1st Guards Army against elements of the Kenyan Legion on the outskirts of the important city of Verdun. General Phillippus Verwoerd would not let the city fall and called in all of the foreign trained divisions in the legion. After a brutal battle at Fort Schwartz he had to retreat to a defensive line known as the Verwoerd Line 26 miles away from the city.
After 9 months of straight hell, the republic was able to beat back 5 armies. After the battle a new war cry and motto was adopted by the Revolutionary Armed Forces, "On ne passe pas!" or "They shall not pass". Due to the victory at Verdun the RAF was able to begin a counteroffensive that would push the Kenyan Red Army all the way back to the central mountains until the Soviet Red Army came in with over 6,500,000 to help the KSR retake the country.
