Struggle in Russia

The total casualties in the two days were nearly 15,000, and more than 6,000 people were directly killed. Such heavy losses have never been seen in Turkish history. Even the Turks, who are not afraid of death, are a little scared now.

It’s only been two days!

Even fifteen thousand pigs can't be killed that fast!

Therefore, the Turks want to take it slow first and regain their blood. If they continue like this, they will be a little unbearable.

However, the British and French did not agree, because it was not their people who died first. Although their artillery participated in the battle, the infantry and cavalry were still watching the show. Anyway, they don't like the Russians or the Turks. Wouldn't it be nice to let them fight to the death and shed more blood?

This is one of the first, and the second is that the generals of both Britain and France believe that after two days of fierce fighting, the Russians should have reached their limit. As long as Turkey continues to strengthen its offensive, it will be easy to eliminate the opponent in one fell swoop.

If we can kill more than 30,000 Russian naval infantry in one fell swoop, it will be a brilliant victory, and it can give reassurance to those elites in the country who still have doubts about Russia's declaration of war. Incidentally, it can also make Türkiye more powerful.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, Britain and France strongly demanded that Turkey continue to maintain the offensive on the third day and deal with the Russian naval infantry as soon as possible.

It can only be said that the Turks are relatively pitiful. They have not been the protagonists of this war from the beginning. Although they are the ones who are beaten and suffer, it is not up to them to decide whether to fight or how to fight. Without the support of their British and French fathers, they He couldn't last a day, so when the British and French fathers strongly requested it, even the Turkish commander had doubts and had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry it out.

The third script was no different from the previous two days. The British and French artillery still opened fire fiercely. The only difference from the first two days was that there were not many targets they could find. There was no building outside Ineada. A complete building, not even a decent broken wall.

The artillery observer looked up and saw nothing but ruins. So the question became, where would the bullets rain down? Is it the ruins or the pile of waste land and garbage?

The British and French artillery could hardly find any decent valuable targets, and they couldn't even find any trace of the Russian army in the ruins. But their superiors ordered them to rain down bullets, so they could only shoot blindly and indiscriminately.

Compared with the previous two days, the artillery fire of the British and French Expeditionary Forces was obviously lacking in structure. It looked like a hail of bullets, but in fact it was completely aimless. A large number of artillery shells were wasted on meaningless ruins. The losses of the Russian army were minimal. .

Moreover, the preparations for this artillery fire were slightly hasty compared with the previous two days. On the one hand, there were not enough targets, and on the other hand, the British and French ammunition reserves were not enough. After all, new explosive bombs cannot be produced by barbarians like Turkey. Judging from the reserves of the British and French Expeditionary Forces, one shot is missing. And the previous two days were a bit too wasteful, so their explosive bombs were not enough.

The Turks also changed slightly. The corpses everywhere made the dense formation unsustainable, so they could only slightly widen the gap between the formations and launch a charge in a looser and more casual formation.

Of course, from the perspective of future generations, this kind of looseness is far from enough. It is still a dense formation, which is simply giving away people's lives.

Fortunately, the Russian army did not have machine guns, otherwise the grand occasion of the First World War at Verdun would have been premature. However, even for such a Turkish army, it was quite difficult. They were greeted by dense rain of bullets. They were knocked down one by one, and then they trampled on the corpses of their own people like zombies and continued to move forward until they were knocked down again.

Two thousand lives were lost this morning alone, and some battlefields were littered with corpses.

However, the huge sacrifice did not bring about the expected victory. The Russian army dealt with it relatively easily. The excellent results of the trenches the day before gave the soldiers great confidence. Almost all the front-line soldiers began to dig holes frantically. The foxholes initially connected the foxholes to form a relatively simple and primitive trench.

Some survivalists went to great lengths to reinforce their foxholes, using wood and cloth bags to build fortifications. As long as they were not directly hit by explosive bombs, it would not be a big problem.

"Your soldiers are all cowards. Look at how loose your formations look! If you want to break down the enemy's defense line, you must form a tight formation and surge up like a wave, otherwise there is no use!" "

Regarding the failure of the Turks, the British and French commanders believed that the key reason was that the Turkish army was as timid as mice and had poor military quality. They believed that the Turkish army's array was too loose and loose like a group of second-raters. What's the point!

"We must form a tighter formation to attack!"

The Turkish commanders are not smart. They have been taught countless times by the Western powers. They subconsciously believe that the Western powers must be right. Even if they fart, they should be regarded as a blessing!

So after a midday adjustment, the Turkish commander formed the densest formation in history and launched a new offensive, and then... and then nothing happened!

In the afternoon, the Turkish army's losses were twice as high as in the morning, and another 4,000 lives were lost outside Ineada. If the wounded are included, they lost nearly 12,000 people that day!

Okay!

The Turkish army originally had only a little over 100,000 troops on the battlefield. After these three days of fierce fighting, more than one-third of the number was reduced. Even the Turkish army couldn't bear it anymore and could only tell the British and French fathers in despair:

"We tried our best, but the troops suffered heavy casualties and are in urgent need of rest and recuperation!"

The faces of the British and French were as ugly as ever. They felt that the Turks were just sneaky, and they only stopped fighting for three days with heavy thunder and light rain. No wonder they have been beaten by the Russians over the years.

They were extremely dissatisfied with the poor performance of the Turkish army and believed that Turkey was the sick man of the Near East. They even shamelessly criticized and ridiculed the Turkish army commander and threatened to say:

"Tomorrow we will go on the offensive, and we will tell you with actual actions how real soldiers fight!"

The British and French commanders actually look down on the Russians. Even though the Russian army has performed relatively well in the past half and thirty years, they always believe that the reason why the Russian army can win is not because of the high quality of the Russian army. How clever the general is, but just because there are so many Russians, they can use the human wave tactic unscrupulously.

He even asserted that the same number of Russian troops would be beaten if they encountered the British army, the French army, or even any army in Western Europe, because polar bears are so rough and savage!
