Compared to the minefields unavoidable in wild battles, urban combat is more troubling for the Imperial Army.
As the frontline soldiers say, they'd rather walk into a minefield behind a mine sweeping vehicle than ride an infantry combat vehicle into a city occupied by the enemy.
According to incomplete statistics, more than half of the casualties suffered by the Alliance Army during the Boss Bay War are related to urban combat.
Therefore, whenever possible, the Imperial Army avoids enemy-controlled cities. If unavoidable, they utilize siege and firepower tactics against the enemies inside the cities. Even if capturing the city is necessary, extensive time is spent on preliminary preparations.
In fact, the last urban battle in Boss Bay, which was the attack on Mosu City, taught an important lesson to other combat units of the Imperial Army by the Seventh Armored Division.
The siege of Mosu lasted nearly 2 months, with the Seventh Armored Division spending 50 days preparing.
