Iron Cross Fire

The Turks are coming! They finally launched an attack. Everyone was excited.

The Russians on the other side were a little panicked when they saw so many people suddenly appear on the river. They quickly stopped the attack and shrunk the front to the fortifications.

The Austrian army did not pursue the victory, but stayed in place to rest. They did not start to march until the Turkish army landed one after another.

The two armies were combined into one place, under the unified command of Kemal, who had a higher reputation, but all actions had to be notified to the Austrians in advance.

Since the day before yesterday, the Russian army in Crimea has gradually surrendered to the Turkish army. Until yesterday, the entire Crimea had fallen, and Kemal was able to free up a large number of troops to the Dnieper River.

The commander of the Austrian reserve told his superiors about this intelligence. The Austro-Hungarian high-level officials were very excited when they learned about it, and asked Kemal to launch an attack from the east, surprise the Russian army from behind, and penetrate the last few ports in Ukraine, leaving the Black Sea Fleet nowhere to live.

The next day, the army began to march.

They launched a series of attacks, and defeated the Russian army one after another, without any chance to fight back.

Then, without giving any chance to relax, they continued to oppress the Russian army's energy and drove it all the way to the coastal areas.

Although the Black Sea Fleet was equipped with countless huge cannons, please report that they had no shells, and the naval guns were just a bunch of decorations, posing no threat to the army.

So the Allied attack became more bold. In one day, the three fronts advanced about 72 kilometers, and there was no sign of stopping, and the invasion continued.

By May 25, the Allied forces had completely torn the Russian defense line apart. All the Russians had nowhere to hide and had to be surrounded and wait for the arrival of death.

The front line advanced more than 300 kilometers again. This time the attack direction was not as much as before, it was completely a straight line from the north.

But it was this straight line that easily broke through the Russian army's soft spot and continued to expand the results.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet only had one port left to rest, but it couldn't last long, as the Allied forces were less than 34 kilometers away.

It was impossible to defend against the enemy's attack on land, let alone the infantry.

The Russian naval officer looked at the sea with worry, then looked back at the scorched land, his face full of melancholy.

A group of sailors around him were carrying things, mostly food and the few remaining shells, but the officers lied to the sailors and said it was money, which they would get when they went ashore next time.

Soon, the ship was filled with similar things, the deck became crowded, and the sailors had some difficulty in moving, but they were still communicating with each other very happily.

The naval officer looked at them sadly, with some apology in his red and swollen eyes, and then his eyes became decisive again, but when he looked back and saw the Ukrainian land behind him, his eyes dimmed again.

After a few sighs, he suddenly heard gunshots in the distance, and they became more and more dense.

He knew he couldn't stay any longer, even if he was full of regrets, there was no way.

Before leaving, he took away the most memorable thing in this port - dust.

The unarmed warship sailed away, getting farther and farther away from the land, and even if they could no longer see it, they were still separated.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet had at least more than 50 warships, but there was no shell to fire, and the boxes were filled with only food, beer, and explosives...

Waves were stirred up on the sea, and the waves hit the ships. Suddenly there was a thunder, and dark clouds quickly covered the entire sky. The strong wind swept everything, and the mixed rain hit the ships together.

The rainstorm came, and the sailors immediately ran back to the cabin. However, to their surprise, this was not an ordinary rainfall.

Suddenly, a wave with a wavelength of about eight meters rose, instantly covering several ships in front of the fleet.

The sea water also turned black, and it seemed that several whirlpools were formed, trying to pull the surrounding ships in.

By the time they reacted, their three ships had lost their ability to move, and they fell into the water and fled to other ships.

The officer felt an inexplicable pull on his ship and quickly asked the crew to sail outside to avoid the whirlpool and waves and escape.

The entire fleet was hovering between life and death. After nearly two hours, the terrible weather disappeared, and the crew members who survived the disaster were all terrified.

After counting the losses, they lost a total of 7 warships, and only a few sailors were rescued, while countless sailors were missing.

Enduring the grief, they continued to sail.

Two days later, the sea was calm, but the Russian Black Sea Fleet received a letter, which was a letter of persuasion:

"Russians on the Black Sea Fleet, you have no way to retreat. The entire territory of Ukraine is our army, the ports are also controlled by us, and the entire Black Sea area is surrounded by us. You have no way to retreat. Are you going to starve to death on the ship? Or do you want to dig your own warships? Don't do stupid things, surrender quickly!"

After reading it tremblingly, the fleet officer had mixed feelings, but still concealed the matter and took the pressure of this intelligence alone.

But after a day, many small boats appeared on the sea. The Russians wanted to sink them, but they had no shells and could only watch them approach.

They did not come to attack the Russians, but to spread propaganda, and what they spread was the letter of persuasion to surrender sent before.

The Russian sailors who were still expecting became depressed when they heard their words. The fleet officer realized that something was wrong and quickly went on the deck to drive away these small boats with rifles.

Then he turned back and shouted: "Let's go! Go to Istanbul!"
