~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After 2 years of stalemate along the line from Cirith-Ungol to Osgiliath, both Free People and the Dark Lordās forces couldnāt afford the endless consumption at all. The Free people, spending almost the all the resources they just stored barely from the 1944 war was reaching the end of the empty pocket. On the other hand, the Dark Lordās side was seemingly better, though a little. The endless cost for war finally became the ready lightened fuse of the Dark Lordās League due to the divergence of its distribution, and numerous Easterling states became showing unsatisfied mood in secret, and even in public of the Leagueās meeting. Itās sooner or later the dices must be casted.
Gn. Ciryatur, commander of the 17th Ecclesia Annihilator Army, who had been proposing offenses instead of defensive and consuming operational strategy of the battlefield since the battle begun, now finally, had come to his show time. All kinds of elite units had been assembled to the front line, waiting for the possibly final stand of the desperate attempt.
On the other hand, like their rival, the Free People high command, the Dark Lordās side had truly no more chips to play the same tricks as well, thus ending up such costly budget consumers with an ultimate meat grinder coincidentally.
To face the new table, Gn. Ciryatur brought the whole new project of a series of military operation, maneuvering between each enemiesā target deeply with the destructively elite Inquisitors, then dividing and destroying them via precise fire power or armor surprising attack one by one after isolating and having them as target blocked. Such bold project wasnāt a castle in the air, for after calculating the logistic transporting linesā length on both side, Ciryatur figured out that itās not only time but the transporting lines were both too long to let the Dark Lordās forces make any further move. On 2001/7/26, Ciryaturās 17th Ecclesia Annihilator Army just had the Durthang Special Task Host annihilated, composed of 75000 personnel all Easterling instead of expandable orcs in only 1 day yet only one third weight of itās supplies were captured during the frontal combat. And this didnāt include the 45000 Easterling corpses from the 3 other devastated Easterling divisions during this engagement done in the same time.
Finding out that the Dark Lordās forces formed an edge with the length of 40 kilometers yet 10 kilometers as itās width, composed of the Vanguard Frontal Host, deployed from Minas-Ithil to the Anduin Riverās riparian, Gn. Ciryatur decided to use itās annihilation as an appetite on 2001/9/26, then putting Cirith-Ungol into good use by forming a sharp tip out of the Black-Gate, dividing the 3 other Frontal Host, Black-Gate, Dagorlad, and Gorgoroth then having them meet the same fate as the Vanguard Frontal Host, ending up the battle by leaving no enemiesā survival in other words by using his whole new tactic led by the reinforcement he brought. Further, the images of the Palantir showed each division was spaced at least 10 kilometres due to marinating the hardly hold lines.
Apart from the already well-known advantage of well sophisticated craftsmanship on military hardware inherited from the Numenor time on all kinds of aspects that some of them had been even classified for centuries, having been much more advanced now due to the frequently researched based on the recently military conflicts's stimulation, noticing the much more superior effective assembly due to the much more diversity of his foes, Gn. Ciryatur knew that any counter offense must be putted into act as early as possible, for on the other hand, the longer the operation got delayed, the more time his foes could prepare. On 2001/7/26, Gn. Ciryatur proposed his project to prince Earnur, minister of war, just as he finished off his prey right away, and the emergent meeting was held on the next day. The project was agreed by Gn. Alice, Gn. Aldarion, Gn. Norringrad, Gn. Eowyn, and even war minister prince Earnur.
However, the opposite ideas provided by Gn. ImrazĆ“r, Gn. Olorgando, and even steward Vorondil were reasonable as well. During a series of countless previous engage, things were proved that the Free People gained the absolutely military hardware advantage no longer, no matter itās proved by the mithril armor couldnāt defect the much more increasingly advanced Easterling arty efficiency, or the much more refined and deadlier black-breathe ingredients becoming much deadlier. The destructive victory of Durthang wouldnāt repeat yet might have the result reversed due to considering it contained controversial reasons of luck such as surprising attacks.
And things just went worse as Gn. Ciryatur suspected. The image brought by the Palantir on 2001/09/26 had showed that a fully well-organized system of fortification, along with even only the Black-Gate Frontal Host had assembled 1360000 personnel with 600000 of them were fiercely disciplined Easterlings, added up with the dreadful firepower composed of thousands of all kinds of pieces of firepower and hardware that contained even hundreds of Grond massive rockets launchers at least, and this didn't include the 2 other Frontal Host-Dagorlad and Gorgoroth, scouted to have 930000 and 850000 personnel respectively, along with both of them got the not fewer amount of hardware than the Black-Gate Frontal Host as well. In spite of their superior quality on personnel and hardware, the Free People were facing the foes 10 times stronger than them on all kinds of data in general. Without doubt the long-term of consumption truly costed the Dark Lordās side a lot, yet itās obviously endless logistic source amended them a much more lot.
This gave birth to a new controversy, to smash the targets before itās stronger or abandoning the coveting and deadly bait, and both must be done before getting too late. The coming up debate made both of these 2 projects fail probably. Grand Marshal Earnur permitted Gn. Ciryaturās project, yet on 2001/11/21, latter for about 2 months.
