Chapter 122： Battle of Lule Burgas

Sackdorf, who launched the charge, yelled to the soldiers behind him while charging forward.

"Go ahead and don't stop."

When he was approaching the rifle range of the position, Sackdorf continued to command his own soldiers.

"Bend down and pay attention to the position ahead."

Despite the command of the company commander Sackdorf, there were still soldiers being hit continuously. He was also anxious in his eyes, but this time the Ottoman position was too powerful, and they rushed to a distance of two hundred meters from the position. Impulsive.

Arza Pasha, the commander of Lule Burgas, who was watching the battle behind the Ottoman position, nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the Bulgarian army was blocked in front of the position. Before the attack of the First Army, he had already transferred the troops to be supported by the rear to the position. Now there are nearly 50,000 people in Lule Bourgas, which of course cannot be attacked by the rotation of the divisions.

Major General Toshewe, the commander of the First Division, who was watching the battle from behind, saw that his troops' attack was blocked, and he picked up the phone next to him and ordered the artillery commander. "The artillery suppressed the second and third line positions with all their strength, and they could not be reinforced. The task of suppressing the Ottoman artillery was entrusted to the military artillery. You only need to suppress the infantry in the position."

Under the constant attack of the artillery of the First Division, the Second Regiment could not move before barely attacking the first line, and had to retreat.

In the command of the First Army, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev also took the plight of the First Division in his eyes.

"Osman's position on the opposite side is still very strong. We are at a disadvantage when we fight like this." Major General Kazdzow said that he appeared in the predicament of the First Army offensive.

Hearing the words of his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev said. "I have seen that Osman's deployment is to strengthen the first-line position and the empty rear. If it were not for the terrain, I would have let him know the end of this."

Major General Kazdjov can also see it, but in Lule Burgas, this place is stuck in a mountain pass, and both sides are blocked by mountains. Because of its small size and no artillery and other heavy weapons, the battalion company can go around. You haven’t had any troops above the regiment. Over the mountain, the defending army has been waiting in front of you for a long time. In addition, the artillery is relatively weak against defenders who have positions, so Alza Pasha dared to put a large number of troops on the first and second line positions.

"Even though the Ottoman army is still defending well, I already have a way to break through their defenses."

Hearing that Lieutenant-General Sirkutinchev had a way, Major General Kazdzhov asked curiously. "What are you going to do?"

Faced with the inquiry of his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev said his approach. "Tomorrow I plan to concentrate the first and third divisions. Except for the necessary defensive troops, all the others will be put on the battlefield. The artillery is also doing everything to ensure the suppression of the position. I plan to attack the front line on the opposite side with one blow. The battle will be much easier."

Upon hearing Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev’s one-shot deal, Major General Kazdzyv, Chief of Staff, asked worriedly. "Is this anxious?"

Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev heard the Chief of Staff's intentions, and only used such an extreme method at the beginning. If they did not break through the defense line, they would be greatly injured, and the casualties in this attack mode would not be small.

He explained to his chief of staff. "This is the best way I have thought of. There is nothing more effective than this one."

"Then do as you said."

Major General Kazdzyw thought about it and accepted his approach.

Soon the telegram that changed the attack mode in the First Army was sent to the headquarters of the two divisions. Facing the orders of their bosses, the two division commanders had nothing to say, and they were all ready to attack tomorrow.

The second regiment of the seventh company only retreated at 5 o’clock. In their previous attack, the seventh company lost 57 soldiers. The company commander Sackdorf took his soldiers back to the starting position with a look of fatigue. , Sat down and rested.

Lieutenant Bodnov also sat down beside him and said to his company commander. "The firepower on the opposite side was too fierce, and we lost a lot."

Faced with the situation Bodnov said, Sakdorf has no good way. After all, this time the loss was so great that only 182 of the 9 people returned to the position when the attack was launched, so I had no choice but to say. "There is no way, I hope I can lose a little bit less."

"Sackdorf company commander in code?"

When the two were talking about the loss of the seventh company, the messenger of the regiment came to the seventh company to look for him.

Sackdorf stood up and spoke to the messenger. "I'm here, what's the matter?"

"The regiment commander ordered that the whole regiment will launch an attack on the left wing early tomorrow morning."

After hearing the command from the commander, the company commander Sackdorf replied. "Okay, our Seventh Company will be ready tomorrow morning."

After seeing the regiment's messenger leaving, Lieutenant Bodnov came over.

"It looks like there will be a big move tomorrow."

It seemed that Lieutenant Bodnov had also heard it, and the commander of Sackdorf said to his deputy with a straight face. "Well, don't talk about the actions above, or you will suffer."

After a one-night rest, the First Army was ready for the war the next day.

At 8:30 in the morning, with the command of Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, the 267 artillery pieces of the First Army fired at the front line with full fire.

This fierce artillery fire caught the Ottoman army at the front line by surprise, causing casualties to skyrocket. The Ottoman artillery was unwilling to be attacked by his army, and joined the counterattack. As a result, the Bulgarian artillery, regardless of their own safety, kept bombarding the defensive positions, which confuses the command and defense.

After a burst of shelling, the Bulgarian artillery is now bombarding the first and second line positions, intercepting possible reinforcements. The first and third divisions all launched an assault except for leaving a regiment. Seeing the actions of the Bulgarian army, Alza Pasha was shocked and cried out that it was not good.

It turned out that some of the troops in the front line were withdrawn by him last night, intending to give these soldiers who stood by to have a good rest. Now facing the decisive charge of the First Army, the forces remaining behind cannot be transported at all. Now he can only order the troops returned last night to be strengthened to the second-line position. At the same time, he ordered the artillery to abandon the counterattack against the Baojun artillery and fully bombard the first and third divisions of the charge.

The Bulgarian army that launched the assault appeared in front of the first line after being intercepted by artillery fire, and the Austrian soldiers on the position were also fighting back against the Bulgarian army with all their strength. However, there were too many soldiers charging this time, and they were unable to fight back. The Bulgarian army suffered casualties and rushed into the position.

"kill"

A Bulgarian soldier roared with a hideous face and stopped the Austrian soldier in front of him. A stab stabbed the bayonet into the abdomen of the Austrian soldier. The Austrian soldier who was stabbed by him fell softly into the trench, his eyes gradually disappearing color.

Just when the Bulgarian soldier was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. It turned out that another Austrian soldier took advantage of his preparation and stabbed his lower abdomen with a bayonet from the side. The Bulgarian soldier was dark in front of his eyes and fell down. In the trench next to the soldier who was stabbed to death.

The moment the Bulgarian soldiers rushed into the position, a hand-to-hand battle began. However, in the face of a steady stream of soldiers, the Ottoman army on the front line also began to show its lack of support.

This made Alza Pasha in the rear command of the position secretly anxious, but he couldn't help it in the face of the interception of the Bulgarian artillery. In addition, now sending troops to support is to add fuel tactics, and it is impossible to be an opponent of the Baojun. He can only hope that the second-line position can be defended.

The Ottoman army, which could not receive reinforcements, began to flee backwards after resisting for a while.

"Don't stop, continue to charge."

Following the orders of various commanders, the Bulgarian army followed the defeated Ottoman army to attack the second-line positions. The Ottoman army in the second-line position saw the Bulgarian soldiers following the retreating friendly forces, shooting and sniping. However, due to their own occlusion, coupled with concerns in their hearts, few soldiers of the Bao army were hit.

"Get out of the way."

The Ottoman troops on the position shouted.

The defeated soldiers who had recovered and began to retreat to both sides, revealing the soldiers who had followed him. This increased the casualties of the Bulgarian army a lot, but the distance between the two was very close, and the Bulgarian army broke into the second line of defense with the casualties.

The seventh company also followed the army into the position. The Sackdorf company commander's pistol had been lost when attacking the first line. He brandished his saber and shouted to an Ottoman soldier in front of him. "Go to die." The Ottoman soldier facing him raised his rifle to block his hacking. Sackdorf kicked him down and wielded his saber again, killing the Ottoman soldier. After Sackdorf ended up with this soldier, he rushed into the battle group again.

In hand-to-hand combat, Bulgaria's training advantage gradually manifested itself, and they often cooperated with each other in small groups. The disadvantage of the lack of training of the Ottoman army has also been magnified. In addition, they are not as morale as the Bulgarian army and are gradually at a disadvantage.

Alza Pasha, who was observing after the defensive position, was extremely anxious, and he had already put all the troops he could draw into the second-line position. Now the third line is almost empty, and now he can only pray for the protection of God.

Unfortunately, this is a scientific world, and neither God nor God can bless him. The Ottoman army in the second-line position also showed no support, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Alsa Pasha knew he had no choice.

Sure enough, under the pressure of the Bulgarian army, the Ottoman army has begun to flee. This made the morale of the other Ottoman soldiers even more low, and the Baojun saw this phenomenon, and the military sentiment increased and attacked even more fiercely. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ottoman army was finally unable to return to the sky and collapsed across the board. Seeing the Ottoman soldiers fleeing in the mountains and plains, the soldiers shouted loudly. "Ula"

In this battle to determine the ownership of Western Thrace, Bulgaria invested 190,000 troops, while Ottoman invested 140,000. After several days of battle, Bulgaria won. Among them, Bulgaria suffered 27,000 casualties, while Ottoman casualties 56,000 (23,000 were lost in the retreat). In addition, a lot of the Ottoman army's ordnance was lost. Bulgaria only captured 134 cannons, which effectively supplemented its losses. Except for Adrianople who is still in Ottoman's hands, no other Western Thrace territory will be able to withstand the Bulgarian attack.
