Struggle in Russia

The Turks were actually quite uncomfortable. They also encountered a lot of trouble in this wave of sneak attacks. First of all, the attacking troops lost their way, which directly caused almost half of the troops to fail to arrive at the planned attack site. If Markov's troops were not in a hurry, this would have been impossible. I'm afraid one wave will directly kill someone.

Then there was a big problem with the cooperation with the British and French forces. According to the original battle plan, the British and French forces would organize a sudden wave of artillery attacks before launching the attack at one o'clock in the morning. However, in fact, at one o'clock in the morning, the Turkish commander was waiting. Without waiting for the artillery cover from the British and French forces, they had no choice but to launch an attack alone.

Then something speechless happened. When the Turkish army worked hard to get into the Russian defense line, the late artillery fire from the British and French coalition came.

As a result, everyone was destroyed, and almost all the leading troops of the Turkish army were taken away in one wave. If there weren't so many Turkish soldiers and the commander quickly ordered the follow-up echelons to follow, this sneak attack would have been declared a failure.

Even so, the Turks were so angry that they jumped on their feet and cursed that Britain and France were not the same thing, while reporting the relevant situation to their superiors.

The reason for this own mistake was quickly discovered afterwards. The reason turned out to be that the British artillery commander was too slow. As for why the French did not find out, the reason given by the French was to respect the British choice. They believed in rigorous The British can't go wrong.

Well, in the final analysis, the Turks can only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. Who makes them have no real capital?

Let’s continue talking about the Turkish night attack. After being stabbed in the back by his teammates, the Turks finally gritted their teeth and held on, using corpses to clear the way and finally successfully seized the position.

But the Turkish commander could not laugh. For this night attack, the superiors gave him 10,000 troops. As a result, there are now less than 3,000 people left in the fully prepared position. The remaining seven thousand people disappeared without knowing why.

Anyway, he couldn't figure out what was going on with this bad debt!

However, he was still a little relieved, because at least he completed the task, and he finally became the first person to conquer the Russian position, and he also captured the Russian position before the British and French forces. This is worthy of bragging.

"Tell the commander that I have completed the mission and am waiting for his instructions!"

The messenger returned to his own position with the Turkish commander's order. The Turkish commander was naturally very happy. Who said he couldn't brag about it? Compared to tomorrow morning when the coalition forces meet, he can finally feel prouder.

"Very good, I will report to the Grand Vizier and ask for credit for you!"

Then the messenger was sent back. This time it seemed that there was no problem, but in fact it was the root cause of Turkey's failure.

Because the one who only knew how to attack at night didn’t actually send people back to report the good news. Although this was important, the more important thing was to ask for help!

After all, it would be difficult, even impossible, to hold on to his position with the troops he had on hand. But I don't know why he seemed to have forgotten about this when giving orders to the messengers, and was completely focused on announcing the good news.

In this way, the rear naturally did not know that his troops were tight, and it seemed to the rear that nearly ten thousand people were used in this operation. In any case, even if the front lines were reckless, they would not be able to wipe them all out.

In their opinion, there may be relatively large losses on the front line, but holding on to the position should not be a big problem. And even if there is a problem, the frontline can't help but mention it, right?

As a result, one forgot and the other took it for granted. This gave Kornilov and Nassimov the opportunity to join forces with Markov's remaining forces and launch a fierce counterattack.

The Turks here have not yet established a stable foothold and are not familiar with the terrain and environment. They are no match for the experienced Russian army. After a fierce counterattack, the Turks were beaten to the ground. They had just captured the area that was not yet warm. The position changed hands in an instant.

It was only ten minutes after dawn, when the Turks returned to their rear positions dejectedly that they realized how shocking the losses were in that night. Of the 10,000 people who set out, less than 3,000 returned in full. More than 2,000 wounded people were carried or dragged back. In addition, more than 1,000 people were missing. The rest were all given lunch boxes.

"Didn't you say that we have occupied the position? Where is the position?"

The Turkish commander was angry, but this is understandable. Anyone who wants to show off and brag but gets slapped in the face would go crazy on the spot.

"The troops are insufficient, and the Russian army's counterattack is fierce..."

"Then why don't you ask for help?"

"..."

In the end, the Turks really felt so miserable that they couldn’t express themselves!

"Okay, we are organizing a night attack tonight, 20,000 people will go together!"

Just when the Turkish commander was about to risk his life, Britain and France stopped his reckless behavior.

"No! The Russians will definitely be on guard. There is no point in continuing the night attack!"

"That's right, without the suddenness, the night attack will never be successful. Moreover, the losses of the night attack are too great, it is simply a matter of death!"

It's just that the Turks didn't know that the reason why Britain and France were so united was not because they were worried that the Russians would be prepared or because they felt that the Turkish casualties were too heavy.

To Britain and France, can the Turks be called people? They are two-legged sheep, no matter how many casualties there are, they will not shed a single tear. The reason why the Turks were so severely prevented from continuing their night attacks was very simple - they just didn’t want to see Turkey capture the Russian position first!

The failure of the first night attack made them feel that it was absolutely impossible for the night attack to succeed. So I just left it to Turkey.

But who would have thought that the night attack last night was so effective. The Turks almost succeeded, so where would they lose their face? If the country knew that the Turks had taken the lead, they would probably be ridiculed to the point where they could not hold their heads up.

Naturally, the Turks must not be allowed to continue to use brute force to break the situation. They must be the ones to defeat the Russians, not the Turks!

It can only be said that a weak country has no human rights. Although the Turkish commander was very reluctant, the unanimous opposition of Britain and France forced him to give up his plan to continue the night attack. And this also helped Paskovich, because if the Turks continued to do this, even if they could not penetrate his position, they would still be able to exhaust his already tired troops.

Thanks to Britain and France for saving the lives of the Russian army, otherwise how can we say that the imperialist powers are all the same!

But Paskovich didn't know this. He only knew that the situation was in a mess. Although last night's counterattack temporarily brought the Russian army back from the desperate situation of total collapse, the Russian army is still hanging with one foot outside the cliff. He could fall to pieces at any time...
