Chapter 278: Blood and Honor



The use of Flak guns against the makeshift British Armor had stopped the Allied Advance within the Alpine region, protecting the sovereign borders of Austria, and in doing so presented an opportunity to retake what had been lost.

But the wise man did not press his advantage when his army was designed with defense in mind. There would be too many problems if the Austro-Hungarians and their German allies pushed forwards into the occupied territory which Italy was currently in control of.

No, they maintained the line of defense, digging in further, and enhancing their fortifications as well as their capabilities. All the while Bruno made moves in the east. With the Royal Bulgarian Army smashed along their borders by the 8th Army an opportunity presented itself for the Austro-Hungarian forces to march through the gap that had been created for them. Meanwhile, Bruno focused his own attention towards the Bulgarian capital, hoping to force them to surrender before the Ottoman Army or what remained of it within Eastern Thrace could be mobilized to aid them.
