Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 79 Destruction and Decay!!

In the face of the fierce attack of the Russian Imperial Army, the Ottoman Army could not bear it at all.

Their soldiers, whether in terms of weapons and equipment, combat qualities, or fighting will, could not be compared with the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire.

So much so that in the face of such a difficult situation, how could they resist!

Under the fierce attack of the Russian Imperial Army, the defense line of the Ottoman Army was in jeopardy and was soon in danger of being breached.

The commander of the 1st Army of the Ottoman Army, General Arslan has racked his brains and tried his best.

However, it was still impossible to maintain the defensive line.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Russian Imperial Army, he was already powerless.

“Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Sultan has asked us to do our utmost to resist the attack of the Russian Empire. But we can’t resist it now! The casualties on the front line are so great that they are about to lose control. ”

A general said with a frustrated look.

Admiral Arslan nodded, he was already in trouble now.

The Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia launched an attack from many directions, and the defending Ottoman Army had to face heavy artillery fire and strong offensive fire from the Imperial Army.

It can be said that this is definitely the most powerful enemy that the Ottoman Empire has encountered in recent years.

Even twenty years ago, when they went to war with the Russian Empire, they still lost.

However, the Russian Empire was definitely not so strong, not so powerful!

But now, the performance of the Tsarist Imperial Army on the battlefield completely blinded the eyes of the Ottoman Army generals.

It can be said that from the very beginning of the war, they were pressed and beaten, completely at a disadvantage.

Even after receiving reinforcements and greatly increasing the strength of the troops, they are still not the target of the Shawe Empire’s attack.

“Order the front-line troops to resist the Russians. Behind us is our territory, and the Russians will never be allowed to take away our land! ”

Arslan said through gritted teeth.

The Ottoman Empire has lost too much territory in modern times.

Now, only Rumilia is left in Europe.

If it is occupied by the Russians again, you can imagine how big a blow it will be to the Ottoman Empire.

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

The general answered.

However, whether they can withstand the attack of the Russian Imperial Army is very difficult to say.

Or rather, the chances of success will be very, very small.

“Ulla! Ulla! ”

The soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army, shouting slogans and supported by their own strong firepower, launched a fierce attack on the Ottoman Army defenses.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

As the soldiers advanced, the Mosin-Nagant rifles in their hands continued to fire bullets whizzing over the heads of the Ottoman soldiers, leaving the Ottoman soldiers able to huddle inside the broken trenches.

But soon, countless grenades flew and stoned on the Ottoman positions.

A number of grenades fell into the trenches, turning the Ottoman soldiers on their backs, blurring their flesh and blood.

The Russian soldiers, taking this opportunity, broke into the trenches of the Ottoman Army.

After a fierce battle, the Ottoman soldiers in this section of the position were either killed or surrendered.

The positions also fell into the hands of the Tsarist soldiers.

Subsequently, more troops of the Russian Empire poured into positions and began to expand on both flanks.

Soon, the Ottoman soldiers’ defenses were broken, and a large number of Ottoman soldiers began to flee.

Plovdiv, headquarters of the 1st Army of the Tsarist Imperial Army.

The commander of the army group, General Gulco, and the chief of staff, Major General Croix, are commanding the army in battle.

“Your Excellency, the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, and the 4th Infantry Division have broken through the Ottoman line at Svilenag and are attacking Edirne. The 5th Infantry Division, the 6th Infantry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, the 61st Infantry Division, and the 62nd Infantry Division responded to them from the east.

The Ottomans amassed a large number of troops in Edirne.

This city, the capital of the Rumelia region, is the most important city of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, and they will definitely defend it. ”

Major General Croix pointed to the operational map hanging on the wall and analyzed the current battle situation.

Admiral Gurko nodded repeatedly: “Order these 9 infantry divisions on the front line to storm Edirne and take this place in the shortest possible time.” Several other infantry divisions continued their assault southward. Especially the cavalry units, to use their speed and hit Istanbul directly! ”

“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!”

Major General Croix replied.

The goal of the Russian Imperial Army’s military operation this time is very clear, that is, to seize the entire Rumilia.

Then, the army of the Russian Empire naturally had to advance all the way south, all the way to the Aegean Sea and the Dardanelles and the Sprus at the mouth of the Marmara Sea.

In this way, the control of the Russian Empire over this land could be ensured.

Under the orders of Admiral Gurko, the Russian Imperial Army continued its fierce offensive.

The nearly 200,000 Ottoman troops stationed in Edirne were besieged, although these Ottoman soldiers also showed great bravery and were determined to do their best to defend the most important city of the Ottoman Empire in the region of Osha.

However, in the face of the heavy shelling of hundreds of guns of the Russian Empire, the defenders of the city still suffered heavy losses.

At the same time, the entire city was almost in ruins.

Within a week, Edirne was shot down by the Imperial Russian Army.

Some of the Ottoman soldiers stationed here died in battle, and most of them surrendered to the Russian Empire.

At the same time, other units of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia were also rushing forward.

Especially a couple of cavalry brigades, even more so that you are not far from Ishib.

Although the Ottoman Army mobilized a lot of troops in an attempt to block the attack of the Russian Imperial Army.

However, many of these newly mobilized troops were farmers or herdsmen not long ago, and they were not even fully equipped with weapons and equipment, let alone such a unit with combat effectiveness, and what kind of results will be in the face of the elite troops of the Tsarist Imperial Army, it is natural to imagine.

The Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia almost won a devastating victory.

The Ottoman army was on the verge of collapse on the battlefield of Rumilia.

Soon, the entire Rumelia will fall under the control of the Tsarist Empire and become the new leader of the Tsarist Empire…
