บท 424: The Significant Event

May 1st, 1822.

The dawn of May 1st marked the beginning of a pivotal chapter in the Gallipoli Campaign: the invasion of Constantinople. The coalition forces, comprising the French, Spanish, and Italian armies, were poised at the outskirts of the historic city, ready to execute one of the most significant military operations of the campaign.

The French Army, leading the coalition, had deployed their troops strategically around key entry points of the city. Artillery units were positioned to provide covering fire, while the engineering corps prepared bridges and roads for the advancing tanks and infantry. The Spanish and Italian contingents, although smaller in number, played crucial roles in securing the flanks and providing additional manpower for the assault.
