The remaining large forces continued to march eastward grandly. At a location approximately tens of kilometers east of Kaf, there is a small town called Bulaarad.
The destination of the French Army was less than 100 kilometers northeast of Bulaarad.
In order to occupy the entire Tunisia before the Italian Government could react, the French Army issued orders from the top down, demanding that this operation must be swift and that more time be saved at all costs.
Because the Ministry of the Army had given strict orders, the French General in charge of commanding this army dared not waste any time.
Aside from some time spent capturing towns, the French Army was rapidly advancing in a grand and orderly manner along the way.
From the small town of Kaf, the forty-thousand-strong French Army chose to divide into two routes.
One route headed north and, after capturing small towns like Baj, Mater, and Bourguiba Camp, would reach their destination, Biserta.
