Sakdorf, who had started the charge, shouted to the soldiers behind him as he rushed forward.

"Hurry up, don't stop."

Approaching the range of the rifles of the position, Sakdorf continued to command his own soldiers.

"All bend down and pay attention to the position ahead."

Despite the command of the company commander Sakdorf, there were still soldiers who were constantly hit, and he was anxious in his eyes, but this time the Ottoman position was too strong, and they rushed to a distance of two hundred meters from the position and could not rush.

The commander of Lule Burgas, Arsapasha, who was watching the battle behind the Ottoman position, nodded with 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 that were ready to support the rear to the positions, and now there were nearly 50,000 men in Lule Burgas, and of course he could not attack by relying on the divisions to attack in turn.

The commander of the 1st Division, Major General Toshewei, who was watching the battle from behind, saw that his troops' attack was blocked, and picked up the phone next to him and ordered the artillery commander. "The artillery is holding down the second and third line positions with all its might, and they cannot be reinforced. The task of suppressing the Ottoman artillery is left to the military artillery, you only need to suppress the infantry in the position. ”

Under the constant attack of the artillery of the 1st Division, the 2nd Regiment could not move before it barely reached the front-line position, and could only retreat.

In the command of the First Army, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev also saw the plight of the 1st Division.

"The Ottoman position on the opposite side is still very strong, and we will suffer more if we fight like this." Major General Kazdyuv said that the dilemma of the offensive of the First Army appeared.

Hearing the words of his own chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sylkutinchev said. "I have already seen that the Ottoman deployment is to strengthen the front-line positions and empty the rear, and if it weren't for the terrain constraints, I would have let him know the fate of doing so."

Major General Kazdyuv also saw it, but in Lule Burgas, this place is stuck in a mountain pass, blocked by mountains on both sides, and the battalion company can bypass it because of its small size and the lack of heavy weapons such as artillery. In addition, the artillery now has a weak suppression of the defenders who have positions, so Arsapatsha dares to put a large number of troops on the first and second line positions.

"Even though the Ottomans are defending well, I've been able to break through their defenses."

Hearing that the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Syrkutinchev, had a way, Major General Kazdyuv asked a little curiously. "What are you going to do?"

Faced with the questioning of his own chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev said his own approach. "Tomorrow I plan to concentrate the troops of the 1st and 3rd Divisions, and devote all of them to the battlefield except for the necessary defensive troops. The artillery also made every effort to ensure the suppression of the position. I plan to break through the front-line position on the opposite side with one blow, and the battle that follows will be much easier. ”

Hearing the one-shot approach of Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, the chief of staff, Major General Kazdyuv, asked worriedly. "Is this a bit of a hurry?"

Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev heard the intention of the chief of staff, and only then did he use such an extreme method from the beginning, if they did not break through the defensive line, they would be greatly damaged, and the casualties in this attack mode would not be small.

He explained to his chief of staff. "It's the best way I can think of, and there's nothing more effective than this."

"Then do as you say."

Major General Kazyov thought about it and accepted his approach.

Soon a telegram from the First Army changing the pattern of attack was sent to the headquarters of the two divisions. In the face of the orders of their superiors, the two division commanders had nothing to say, and they were preparing for tomorrow's attack.

The 2nd Regiment of the 7th Company retreated at 5 o'clock, and the 7th Company had lost 57 soldiers in the previous attack.

Second Lieutenant Bodenov also sat down beside him and said to his company commander. "The fire on the opposite side is too fierce, and we have suffered a lot of losses."

Faced with the situation that Bodenov said, Sakdov also had no good way. After all, the losses this time were so large, and only 182 of the 239 people returned to their positions when they attacked, so I have to say. "There's no way around it, I hope we can lose less."

"Commander Sakdorf is in the yard?"

When the two of them were talking about the loss of the Seventh Company, the herald of the regimental headquarters came to the Seventh Company to look for him.

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

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

The company commander of Sakdorf replied after hearing the order of the regiment commander. "Okay, tomorrow morning, our seventh company will be ready."

After seeing the departure of the herald of the regimental headquarters, Second Lieutenant Bodenov came over.

"Looks like there's going to be a big move tomorrow."

It seems that Second Lieutenant Bodnov also heard it, and the company commander of Sakdorf said to his deputy with a straight face. "Okay, don't talk about what you're doing, or you'll suffer."

After a night's rest, the First Army was ready for battle the next day.

At 8:30 a.m., with the order of the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, the 267 guns of the First Army opened fire with all their might on the front-line positions.

This heavy artillery fire caught the Ottoman troops in the front-line positions off guard, and the casualties skyrocketed. Not willing to be struck by their own army, the Ottoman artillery also joined the counterattack. As a result, the Bulgarian artillerymen did not care about their own safety at all, and shelled the defensive positions vigorously, which greatly confused the command of the defense.

After a burst of shelling, Bulgarian artillery is now bombarding positions on the first and second lines, intercepting possible reinforcements. Both the 1st and 3rd Divisions charged, with the exception of one regiment remaining. Seeing the actions of the Bulgarian army surprised Arsapasha and secretly screamed badly.

It turned out that some of the troops in the front-line positions were withdrawn by him last night, intending to give these soldiers who were holding on to rest for a while. Now in the face of the decisive charge of the First Army, the troops staying behind cannot be transported at all. Now he can only order the troops that had returned last night to be strengthened to the second-line positions. At the same time, he ordered the artillery to abandon the counterattack on the Bulgarian artillery and bombard the charging 1st and 3rd divisions with all their might.

The charging Bulgarian troops, after withstanding the interception of artillery fire, appeared in front of the front-line position, and the Austrian soldiers on the position were also fighting back against the defenders with all their might. However, there were too many soldiers in the charge this time, and they were completely unable to fight back, and the Bulgarian army, suffering casualties, rushed into the position.

"Kill"

A Bulgarian soldier roared with a hideous face, calmed the Austrian soldier in front of him, and a stabbing stabbed the bayonet into the Austrian soldier's abdomen. The Austrian soldier he had stabbed fell limply into the trench, his eyes gradually fading with color.

When the Bulgarian soldier was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and it turned out that another Austrian soldier took advantage of his unpreparedness and stabbed him into his lower abdomen with a bayonet from the side.

From the moment the Bulgarian soldiers rushed into the position, a white-knuckle battle began. However, in the face of a steady stream of defenders, the Ottoman army in the front-line positions also began to show its inadequacy.

This made Arsapasha, who was at the rear command of the position, secretly anxious, but he could not do anything in the face of the interceptive artillery fire of the Bulgarian artillery. In addition, sending troops to support now is a refueling tactic, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the defending army, so he can only hope that the second-line position can be held.

The Ottoman army, which could not be reinforced, began to flee backwards after struggling to resist for a while.

"Don't stop, keep charging."

Following the orders of the various commanders, the Bulgarian army followed the defeated Ottoman army to attack the second-line positions. The Ottoman troops in the second-line positions, seeing the Bulgarian soldiers coming with the retreating friendly forces, opened fire one after another. However, due to the cover of their own people and the concerns in their hearts, few of the soldiers of the security army were hit.

"Get out of the way."

The Ottoman troops on the positions shouted one after another.

The defeated soldiers began to retreat to both sides, revealing the defenders who were following them. This resulted in a considerable increase in the casualties of the Bulgarian army, but the distance between the two was already very close, and the Bulgarian army broke into the second line of defense despite the casualties.

The 7th Company also followed the large forces into the position, and the pistol of the company commander of Sakdorf, which had long been lost during the attack on the front-line positions, brandished his saber and shouted at an Ottoman soldier in front of him. "Die." The Ottoman soldier facing him raised his rifle and blocked his slash. Sakdorf kicked him down and swung his saber again, killing the Ottoman soldier. After the defeat of this soldier in Sakdorf, he once again rushed into the warband.

The superiority of Bulgarian training in hand-to-hand combat gradually became apparent, and they often attacked in small groups in conjunction with each other. The lack of training of the Ottoman army was magnified, and they were not as demoralized as the Bulgarian army, and they were gradually at a disadvantage.

Observing from behind the defensive position, Arsapasha was so anxious that he had already put all the forces he could pull out into the second-line position. Now that the third-line positions are almost empty, now he can only pray to Allah for protection.

Unfortunately, this is the world of science, and neither Allah nor God can bless him. The Ottoman army in the second-line position was also showing its weakness, and Arsapatsha knew that he had no choice at all.

Sure enough, the Ottoman army, under pressure from the Bulgarian army, had already begun to flee. This made the morale of the other Ottoman soldiers even lower, and the defenders saw this phenomenon and attacked more violently. By three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ottoman army was finally unable to return to the sky and the whole line collapsed, and the Ottoman soldiers fleeing all over the mountains and fields, the Bulgarian army shouted loudly in unison. "Ulla"

Bulgaria invested 190,000 troops and the Ottomans 140,000 in the battle that decided the ownership of Western Thrace, and the battle ended in Bulgaria's victory after several days. The Bulgarians suffered 27,000 casualties, while the Ottomans suffered 56,000 (23,000 were lost in the retreat). Moreover, the Ottoman army also lost a lot of ordnance, and the Bulgarians captured 134 artillery pieces alone, which effectively supplemented their losses. Now except for Adrianople, which was still in the hands of the Ottomans, the other territories of Western Thrace would not be able to withstand the attack of the Bulgarians.
