The Battle of Derbela, also known as Operation Blessing Cross as designated by the Imperial Aethiopian Ground Force, the Derbela General Counteroffensive and the Liberation of Debela, was a major offensive in the Africanna Campaign of the Neocon War. It was set in and around the Aethiopian capital city of Debela, and resulted in a decisive victory for the Heimdallr forces.
With the success of the Jinwassa Offensive by the Second Imperial Aethiopian Army that punctured the Neocon forces' northern side, Aethiopian Field Marshal Tiruneh Eskinder Habtamu saw that the Neocon lines spread thinner and planned the recapture of the capital city, which garnered the full support of Immacolato Giovannetti, Marshal of the Archadian Arithean Army. On 26 December, a general offensive was launched with the First Imperial Aethiopian Army assigned to the regions west of Debela, the Third Democratic Aethiopian Army with one half of the Archadian Arithean Army tasked with capturing the capital city, and the Second Democratic Aethiopian Army advancing further north with support of the other half of the Archadian Arithean Army. The heimdallr forces made extensive and resourceful use of their special forces, especially the 7th Commando Regiment and the Long Range Reconnaissance Group. The offensive observed the retreat of the Neocon forces after a month of combat, and the Derg's seat of power relocated to Gamsum in Northern Aethiopia.
The offensive was a decisive victory that permanently changed the dynamics of the East Africanna theater. The Heimdallr forces engagements continued to go on the offensive by liberating East Aethiopia and Northern Archadian Arithea, and the Neocons being unable to mount a long-term successful defense which lead to the disestablishment of the Second Derg and the full liberation of Aethiopia.
