Battle of High Bridtick.

**The Battle of High Bridtick/Haiyb[h]r[p/h]id[/t]ik[h]** was a military engagement during the Second Dokali War of Independence, between Dokali, Northanian and Xanxon forces fought from April 1991 to July 1992, ending in a decisive, but costly Dokali victory. Fought with mass trench warfare and deeply attritional fighting, the engagement was "truly brutal", according to Dokali, at the time, Colonel, Mattie Glasgow. Dokal dubbed it "Operation Triglycerides.".

## Background and Context.

As the Second Dokali War of Independence began, Dokal was engaged with The Northern Kingdom, whom promptly invaded Dokal in January 1991, it was during this difficult campaign that Dokal successfully held off against a superior Northanian force, even driving them back to the Manchirnk Side, also known as the Borders of the Region Manchurkian[iy+n], following the Iyrn Campaign, though, the fighting around the border was getting increasingly intense, and by April Dokal was rapidly losing men and materiel and resources, while the Northanians had gained the upper hand. With this newfound advantage, the Northanians plunged southwest, taking large border regions and in general defeating many Dokali units in open battle. As the two forces came to blows, General Mark Henry Ives of Dokal decided that his forces, under the 16th Army, could not continue, and they had to stop retreating and finally meet the Northern Kingdom troopers, and so the decision was made to hold, and to fight while they were still fairly within the limits of victory, and so the ideal position was encountered in High Bridtick, a city a mere 92 miles at closest and 99 miles at furthest from the closest point on the Dokali-Northanian pre-war border. It was at this position that, no matter what, the Dokalis would fight and fight on[wards], to never cease until they were completely annihilated and utterly destroyed, thoroughly ruined. Until then, the Dokali Army, Air Force and all other elements of the Dokali Military would never give up the territory. Beginning on April 1rst, 1991, Dokali forces in the Northern Quadrant of the province began to face a large Northanian assault, eventually being forced back to the northern outskirts of the city proper.

### The Actions of/on April 1rst.

Main Article; Battle of The Slides.

On April 1rst, 1991, Dokali Lieutenant General Daokali Yn Hrixeirn, at the head of the 63rd Infantry Division, made contact with Northanian forces, in the nearby city of Citeins'z'-Ehrenxeirn, by the 2nd delaying actions took effect, and the Northanians were gradually inching towards their objectives of Onko, Obko and Nolokeirnzz. Lyubliyandansk, a nearby town, saw heavy fighting from the 2nd to the 6th, with the 91rst Northanian Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the Dokali 44th Motorized Infantry Regiment battling, eventually resulting in a total defeat for the Dokalis under Maj. Gen. Doko-Dokoalenn Glennsonn, who was forced to retreat to the nearby southern city of Yrprens, on the 8yh, the 44th Motorized Infantry Reg. was again in contact with the pursuing 91rst Mechanized of the Northanians, and by the 9th, most Doklali personnel had been suppressed, resulting in, by the 10thm, Dokali forces in full retreat all across the regional front, heading to the outskirts of High Bridtick.

Between April 1rst and the 11th, Dokali High Command realized the necessity in trenches and other fortifications, and thus began construction on the 2nd, these primitive earthworks consisted of mere lower elevations and simple dugouts, but they were effective against repeated Northanian artillery and air strikes. By the 11th of April, 1991, Northanian troopers of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion made contact with the 11th Dokali Motorized Battalion, at a location known as "The Slides", a rugged and partially hilly area of terrain notorious for its slippery, wet and generally awful nature whenever it may [have] rained, it is approximately 5 kilometers at most and 3 at least from the very outskirts of High Bridtick.

At 5:32 AM, April 11th, 1991, Northanian forces rapidly attacked and used mass infantry, mechanized and artillery/air-backed assaults against Dokali lines, in spite on the minimal fortifications, the Dokalis were able to hold out against the Northanians for eleven hours. By about six P.M., reinforcements under Major General Folali's 193rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment came to assist the existing Dokai forces under Maj. Gen. Assos T. Richards. By sundown at around 7:50 P.M., Dokali and Northanian troops, the latter of whom were under the command of Lieut. Gen. Kyaryl Prinz von Tyurnpintz Od Ladter Rithonainian III, stopped exchanging fire and returned to their camps for the night. This would be one of the only times in the ensuing battle that the night was used as a grace period.
