After receiving a telegram from Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, the Third Army took three days to rush to the front line and join the First Army.
Lieutenant General Silkutinchev and Chief of Staff Major General Kazyyuv were at the headquarters to welcome General Mitriyev's arrival.
When General Mitriev was still some distance away from him, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev approached him with a smile on his face and spoke to the commander of the Third Army.
"General Mitriyev welcomes you."
General Mitriyev shook the hand that greeted him, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, and said, "This time we will work together to defeat the enemy forces from Luleburgas to Budasharsal as soon as possible. If
It would be great if we could capture the Austrian commander-in-chief Zam Pasha."
Hearing General Mitriyev say that he wanted to capture the Austrian commander-in-chief Zampasha, Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev knew that this was just a good wish. It was unreasonable to want to capture the commander-in-chief of a country.
Difficult things.
After the two greeted each other politely, General Mitriyev, led by Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev, entered the First Army Headquarters. Here, the staff had already laid out a military map.
The distribution of enemies and enemies along the line from Luleburgas to Budhisar is marked in blue and red.
Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev walked to the map, took a baton handed to him by his staff, and began to explain the current situation.
"Now the Austrian army is concentrated on the line from Luleburgas to Budahirsar to stop us. Among them, we have confirmed that there are about 50,000 Austrian troops in Luleburgas and 45,000 in Budahirsar.
The Austrian troops on the left and right. A large number of field fortifications were built in both places. However, due to the time limit, the fortifications were all civil structures and were not too strong. Between the two, there were about 50,000 Austrian troops defending according to the terrain. Now due to the terrain
Due to the relationship between them, we can't weave in and outflank them, so we can only attack by force."
After hearing Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev explain the current situation, General Mitriyev asked, "What is the First Army's plan?"
Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev knew what General Mitriyev meant and stated the plan he agreed with from his staff.
"Our plan is for our First Army to storm Lule Burgas, and for your Third Army to storm Budashir Sar. As for the Ottoman army between the two, we will send one division each to contain them."
After discussing it with General Mitriyev and his chief of staff Ridevesev, they both thought this plan was fair.
"This plan is good, we will follow the instructions above."
General Mitriyev's answer made Lieutenant General Silkutinchev breathe a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that the plan would not be passed and would make him look bad, but that continuing to design the plan would delay time, and everyone faced a defensive line
It will be strengthened again. Now that everyone is satisfied with this plan, it couldn’t be better.
After the respective targets are clearly defined, now it is time to determine the time of attack.
Lieutenant General Sirkutinchev asked, "When do you think the attack can begin?"
Faced with Lieutenant General Silkutinchev's inquiry, General Mitriyev mentally calculated the time it would take for the troops to move to the starting point and take a short rest, and said, "Is it okay to start at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow?"
"This time is very reasonable." Lieutenant General Silkutinchev also agreed.
The last two armies were reached on November 6, and they launched an attack on the Ottoman army's defense line from Lule Burgas to Budashir Sar. Due to the late arrival of the third army and seniority reasons, the commander was sent from the west.
Lieutenant General Erkutinchev serves.
After coordinating the steps between the two sides, General Mitriyev had no time to chat. He took his people directly to Budasharsal to take over the defense line and prepare arrangements before the storm. Silkutinchev
The general also began to make arrangements for the attack plan on Lule Burgas.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, November 6th came. On this day, both armies were ready for the war. As time went by, Lieutenant General Silkutinchev looked at the pocket watch in his hand and used it as the pointer.
Turning to ten o'clock in the morning, in front of the front line positions from Luleburgas to Budashirsar where the Ottomans were fortified, the sound of artillery sounded, and the fighting between the Ottoman army and the Bulgarians began again.
"Rush forward quickly."
In front of the Luleburgas position, the officer of the Third Division who took the lead in launching the attack directed the soldiers to charge towards the Ottoman position.
On the defensive side, the Ottoman army was not to be outdone. Facing the Bulgarian army's offensive, it also opened fire. Rifles and machine guns sounded on the position. The Ottoman army knew that this was a strong attack by Bulgaria. They were also fighting back desperately for themselves and their country. This made
The Bulgarian army that launched the attack suffered heavy casualties, and the large number of casualties weakened the offensive of the third division that launched the attack.
Seeing a large number of wounded soldiers from the 3rd Division being sent down, Sackdorff and his party who were watching the battle behind looked at each other. His bravery does not mean he has no brains. If he had had this kind of firepower during the first offensive, he probably would have had nine lives.
It's not enough to fight. Obviously the previous successful attack was an illusion, and the next one should be a tough fight.
"Company Commander, what should we do next?"
Deputy Bodnov was obviously stunned by the casualties and asked his company commander.
"Everyone, be smart when the time comes and follow me and watch my moves."
Sackdorf didn't have a good idea. In a large-scale battle, his battlefield skills were not very useful and he could only rely on his luck. But of course he couldn't say this in front of his subordinates, so he had to let them
Follow me, hoping to leave a few more people for the Seventh Company.
At this time, a messenger from the regiment headquarters came to give them an order. "Company Commander Sackdorf, the regiment commander requires you to prepare in the afternoon, and the entire regiment will launch an attack."
Captain Sackdorf replied to the orderer, "Okay, our Seventh Company will be ready."
Although he wanted to ensure the safety of the soldiers, he still chose to execute the order after it was issued. After all, soldiers must be prepared to sacrifice for the country, and now he is ready.
Although the attack continued, the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield never stopped. However, after lunch, everyone in the Seventh Company was ready and waiting for the order from their regiment commander Kaposno.
Sackdorf, who had been observing his regiment leader, saw the regiment leader waving forward and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "It's our turn."
After saying that, he was still the first to rush out of the position, and the soldiers behind him also rushed into the battlefield with his company commander. The soldiers of the 1st Division and 2nd Regiment all rushed out of the position and launched a charge.
