Such operations would be continued until the enemy are starved out. It is hard to imagine it otherwise, when we remember that, with much infe...rior weapons, even the badly trained French mobiles of 1870 were rarely beaten at once, a second day having usually been necessary to drive them from newly occupied positions.
