Due to the sudden loss of commander-in-chief, the command of the left flank of the Turkish government army was temporarily thrown into confusion, and the offensive was halted for a time, although Marshal Carter appointed another general as temporary commander soon after, but the progress of their attack was greatly delayed. After not receiving news of his right flank troops for a long time, Marshal Carter also vaguely felt that something was wrong, but because he believed too much in the escape ability of the "long-legged general", he did not make any arrangements, and in addition to continuing to send people to liaise with the right flank, he also sent a small group of cavalry troops to guard the north.

Ollie made a large circle with his troops, and by this time had made a detour behind the starting position of the government army in the center. Two miles ahead of him was their artillery position, and through his binoculars he saw the artillerymen sitting boredly chatting in their positions, which were barely defended, and the few heavy machine guns were deployed in the direction of Uzunkepu. In front of the artillery position was a small hill, and on that side of the hill was supposed to be Marshal Carter's departure position and headquarters.

Victory was finally in sight, but Ollie was very unhappy at this time, he had already received the news of the defeat of the three regiments on the right flank, and he also knew very well that his German soldiers would not give up until the last moment. He was saddened not by the large pensions, but by the fact that every good soldier under his command was a valuable asset to Germany, who had followed him all the way here, and now had to lie quietly in the dirt of a foreign land.

The anger in Ollie's heart burned brightly, and he roared into the sky with all his strength: "For the sake of the brothers who died in battle, attack!" ”

"Attack ......" There was a deafening shout from the field.

The government soldiers in the artillery positions looked behind them in horror, countless enemies were pouring towards them from afar, and with only poker, water bottles and food in their hands, no one knew what to do, except to run away......

On the hill, Marshal Carter watched blankly as his artillery position was flooded by the enemy, and he had thrown his reserves into the street battles in the city, and at this time he had no troops to move beyond a guard battalion?

Carter drew his pistol in desperation and slowly raised it to his head.

"Marshal, retreat quickly!" The staff officers beside him forcibly snatched the gun from his hand and persuaded him bitterly.

"Retreat? Where to retreat! Carter sat down on the ground in a decadent manner, and he began to envy Marshal Tavante a little, and he was dashing away from all the troubles of this world. He was well aware of the consequences of losing this battle, and even if he was able to break through with a part of his troops, those wolf-like sultans and nobles would not let him go.

"The tide is over......" he jumped up suddenly, but his eyes then dimmed again, "Order the troops, stop resisting!" ”

"Marshal, we can still break through to the south!"

"Marshal, we still have a full 50,000 troops in our hands!"

"Marshal, let's go!"

Hearing the marshal's order to stop resisting, the staff officers thought that he was suddenly frightened and confused, and they raised strong objections, and the old and overstimulated Marshal Carter fainted at once, and the staff officers immediately set him up and retreated towards the city of Uzunkepla. Since Carter was no longer able to command the troops, the staff officers jointly decided to immediately gather the attacking forces in the city and retreat from the south of the city.

After Oli led his troops to occupy the artillery positions of the government army, he left two battalions of soldiers there to guard the prisoners and operate the artillery, and the five regiments occupied and defended the original starting position of the government army in front of the hillside, and began to charge the city with the remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers, and the defenders of the city also played a beautiful defensive counterattack. The government forces that had been attacking from the east of the city collapsed from the enemy on their backs, and could no longer hold or retreat in an organized manner, and the soldiers were scattered throughout the city and eaten by Kemal's troops. The government forces in the south of the city had already begun to retreat, and in this case, the snipers opened fire, the officers of the government army fell one after another, and soon the unorganized retreat turned into a rout, and the crowd began to flee outside the city. Escorted by a group of soldiers, the staff officers also fled south of the city with poor Marshal Carter on their back.

To the south of Uzunkepluh, when the government forces in the city broke and fled to the positions of Kemal's right flank, which they had captured in the morning, they were greeted by vengeful bullets. Not long ago, it had been recaptured by the reserves of the second line of defense on Kemal's right flank, as well as by the troops who had retreated in the morning. In the evening, when the troops in the city of Oli and Kemal pursued, tens of thousands of government soldiers were blocked by the more than 1,000 people for several hours, and they had no choice but to choose to sneak attack.

In the battle of Uzunkeplü, almost all of the 80,000 troops of the Turkish reactionary government army were wiped out, and less than 1,000 soldiers fled back to Istanbul. Field Marshal Carter, the commander-in-chief of the government army, was captured, the deputy commander-in-chief, Marshal Tavante, and more than half of his hundreds of generals and colonels were killed, most of them were killed by snipers, nearly 30,000 government soldiers were killed, and all equipment and materials were captured. The 30,000 troops on Kemal's side suffered 13,000 casualties, of which 1,178 were killed and 842 were wounded. Hamid II, who had lost his main force, announced his abdication and was succeeded by Mehmed V. A month later, Kemal led his troops into Istanbul and announced the deposition of Muhammad V, the formal establishment of the Democratic Republic of Turkey, and the invitation of the Young Turks to co-govern. Two months later, with the support of the people and the army, Kemal's Turkish Democratic Party won the first parliamentary elections of the republic, and Kemal became the first president of the Democratic Republic of Turkey. Later, Turkey entered into a secret alliance with Germany to contain the military power of the Entente in the Mediterranean.

However, after the civil war, Turkey was devastated, the economy and industry were backward, the wealth was concentrated in the hands of the big nobles and big businessmen, and the people were impoverished. Kemal carried out a series of drastic reforms in the face of great resistance, which greatly restored Turkey's national power in the following years.

After the situation in Turkey stabilized, Oli began to return to Germany with most of the soldiers of the mercenary regiment. During the Turkish Civil War, a total of 5,636 German soldiers participated in the Turkish Civil War, including in the air, on the ground and at sea, and 2,215 outstanding German soldiers were buried here. Sergeant Hildrand chose to stay in Turkey after recovering from his wounds, and together with hundreds of other German instructors, he helped Kemal train the Turkish army, which had a strong German style and showed great combat effectiveness in the wars against Britain and Russia in World War I. Sergeant Rudra was awarded the Iron Cross of the 1st Class for his outstanding performance in the hunting of the Turkish marshal in this war, and became a heroic figure of the East Prussian Legion, regretting that the emperor did not personally award him the medal this time, but after successfully shooting 489 people in the First World War, he finally realized this dream.

The civil war of a declining empire did not attract much attention from the world, but it was of great significance to Germany and Chentian. Germany had only experienced a few colonial wars since the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, and the Turkish Civil War provided a good testing ground for weapons, and the thriving Kemal regime would be better able to contain the power of the Allies there than the old and backward empire that had preceded it.
