After five consecutive days of hard fighting and after nearly 3,000 casualties, the Russian army finally settled the enemy in the port, Ava was like a peeled cherry.

General Ivanolov had already visited the front line to supervise the war. It took five days just to fight for a port, which was very unfavorable to the Russian army's combat plan in the future.

Soldiers are the most important thing. If you want to quickly open up the Black Sea Strait, the most important thing is one word - fast.

The Ottomans have blocked traffic in the inland areas, and the Austrian Navy has blocked the sea routes. What they need most to mobilize their troops on a large scale is time.

In advance, the Sudanese government was not sure of the exact landing location of the coalition forces, so it could only fully deploy defenses. Even now, while the Sudanese government was deploying defenses along the strait, it also had to prevent the coalition forces from directly attacking Huanglong.

The Ottoman Empire has lost its capital once, and it can never be lost again. If Ankara falls and the Asia Minor Peninsula is divided into two, the Sudanese government will have no way to die.

According to the Russian army's plan, Awa should be taken down within two days, and then quickly expand around, and make a direct move to Huanglong, forcing the Sudanese government to mobilize surrounding troops to intercept them.

It is impossible now. After three days of additional time, the situation is completely different. The Sudanese government has time to readjust its troops and the difficulty of war has increased.

Watching rows of stretchers carrying the wounded pass by, listening to the wounded's wailing, Ivanolov's cold heart melted.

Resisting his anger, Ivanov ordered, "Lieutenant General Verasol, immediately ask for help from the coalition command and ask Austria to send medical staff to treat the wounded.

Lieutenant General Kharosf, you are responsible for commanding the following aftermath, and you must clear the enemies of Ava City today.”

This is all he can do. The Russian army has a serious lack of medical staff, which can only protect the personal safety of the officers. If the soldiers are injured, they can only leave them to fate.

In the past, there was no way. How could a war not kill people? The price of medicines is so high and the Tsarist government is poor and cannot afford it.

Moreover, medical staff were all middle-class in the Russian Empire, and they lived a comfortable life in the country, and few of them joined the army.

Not only the Russian army, but most countries in the world have this common problem. Relatively speaking, countries like Austria and Prussia, where all the people are soldiers, are doing better.

The Vienna government built a medical college more than ten years ago and trained a large number of medical staff. Under the national compulsory military service system, these people also need to join the army.

In addition, the troops themselves have also trained some battlefield first responders. In the same era, the Austrian military's battlefield medical rescue system is the most complete.

General Ivanov was not the one who wanted to save face and suffered. Now the Austrians were responsible for the logistics, so they naturally had to speak out for help.

It is not a pity that every soldier can obtain enough medicine, and at least he must provide effective first aid in the battlefield and try his best to find ways to rescue the lightly injured.

The seriously injured are very sorry for the limited medical technology in this era, and the possibility of being rescued is very low, and even if many people are saved, they will be ruined.

Some casualties even couldn't stand the pain and needed help from their comrades to get rid of it. War is so cruel, "one general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone", which is not an exaggeration at all.

"Yes, Commander." The two answered almost in unison.

After saying that, they left to execute the orders, and General Ivanov continued to patrol the battlefield. Looking around, there were all potholes bombed by artillery shells.

The smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder can be clearly audible. Under the sun, the earth is particularly yellow and red, and the atmosphere is particularly weird.

As Ivanov walked, he seemed to step on something under his feet. When he looked down, he saw a head with only half of it. It was covered with a thin layer of soil, and it was exposed by Ivanov.

Frowning, Ivanov continued to move forward. The war had just gone out and there was no time to clear the battlefield. The broken limbs he saw along the way.

Arms, thighs, heads, internal organs... as long as there are parts on the human body, you can find them here. This is a hell on earth. If you are not strong inside, ordinary people may collapse if they take a look at it.

(I dare not describe it in detail, bloody violence requires 404, the author can only...)

For soldiers like Ivanolov, this is all a pediatric department. He has seen all the bloody scenes on the battlefield, and he has long been numb in his heart.

"well!"

He sighed secretly, Ivanov was not sure whether the war was correct. If possible, he would rather choose the original "harassement plan".

...

In Ava City, the Ottoman army had almost run away, and all that were left were suicide squads that blocked the enemy.

Most of these people are fanatics. They not only want to stay and fight to the death themselves, but also organize civilians to stay and fight to the death together.

The weapons have been sent. Due to the shortage of numbers, most people can only hold cold weapons to make up for the numbers, including swords, swords, spears, bows and arrows, as if they have returned to the Middle Ages overnight.

Master Akyoer was among them. They reacted one step slower and did not escape from Ava City in the chaos. Now they could only live and die with the city.

As the first city to be conquered, Awa's resistance will definitely be the most intense. The Sudanese government lacks confidence in winning the battlefield and tries to scare away the enemy with such fierce means.

If all the Ottomans fought to the death, even Austria, which had a great family and a great career, could not afford it. The war would require consideration of costs and could not be invested endlessly.

The boy asked with a trembling trembling, “Master, do the enemy really want to kill us all?”

Ordinary people cannot remain calm in the face of life and death, let alone a teenager? The age of a middle school student is that he should have studied in school and learned knowledge, but he is forced to leave the battlefield.

Akyoer pretended to be calm and said, "Who knows! The fight started soon. You kid are a little smarter. Once you leave their sight, you will find a corner to hide and hold on until it gets dark before we run away."

As he spoke, Akyoll's hands were still trembling, obviously he was not as calm as he seemed.

To defend the country, defending the country is too luxurious for them, those who are in danger of peace.

I wonder if the enemy is terrifying. They have personally experienced the horror of the Ottoman government.

Awa is also a port city, so it is naturally inevitably affected by external ideas, and everyone's consciousness and concepts are gradually changing.

The Ottoman government that enslaved them gradually developed resentment and lost loyalty. This change was inconspicuous during normal times, but changed at the critical moment of life and death.

The Russian army began to make progress, and the Ottomans lurking inside the building did not stop it. Now is not the time for a decisive battle.

The mob cannot defeat the regular army, and cold weapons cannot beat the hot weapons.

The city of Ava has been abandoned, and the remaining defenders have retreated outside the city, preparing to rely on the terrain to block the Russians and delay the Russian army's speed.

If you want to cause trouble to the Russians, it is best when the night is dark, the people in the city can take advantage of the terrain advantages to cause big trouble to the Russian army.

The plan never changes quickly. The Russian army is either a little sheep, but it comes to eat meat when entering the city. The Tsarist government is poor, and the Russian army has always had the tradition of replacing military pay with looting.

The Russian army participating in the Battle of Ava was no exception. The Vienna government gave them logistics supplies, but did not pay them military salaries.

Even if Franz is willing to give it to it, the Tsarist government will not dare to ask for it. If it is really distributed and the Russian army's cheap salary system is broken, how can we fight the war in the future?

If you sacrifice so much, if you don’t get any benefits from Awa City, how can you make up for everyone’s wounded hearts?

Facing the Russian soldiers who broke into the door, the Ottoman ambush could not continue. There is no need to say, then fight!

Crying and shouting to kill were heard throughout the sky, and the Russian soldiers had already been red in their eyes on the battlefield. Faced with the Ottomans who dared to resist, they naturally raised their butcher knife without hesitation.

It was too late when Lieutenant General Kharosf realized it. Awa was originally a small town, but due to the war, another group of people ran away. Now there are only 20,000 to 30,000 unlucky people left.

How could such a few people be the opponent of tens of thousands of Russian troops? The battle lasted until the evening. Except for some lucky people who hid and escaped, the rest became the swords of Russian soldiers.

It was indeed done to clear the whole city. Everyone died almost the same, and Ava was naturally safe. However, the sequelae made Lieutenant General Harrosf cry without tears.

How did the promised robbery become a "city massacre"? Well, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Russian soldiers. Seeing that the Ottomans were holding weapons, they just wiped out the enemy in advance.

It’s just this reason, probably only the Russians themselves will believe it. After saying it, no one will believe it.

It is not popular to massacre cities in the European continent, of course, massacre of "natives" does not count. But this is just the thing that happened before. In the late 19th century, even if the colonists were playing massacres, they would cover it up.

At this point, Lieutenant General Kharosff had to bite the bullet and admit it. He must have worn the hat of the butcher General.

Fortunately, this is the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans in the European world were not much higher than those indigenous people.

Lieutenant General Kharosf was that due to the grudges between the Ottoman Empire and Russia, the radicals and religious figures in the country would support him, and the Tsarist government said that he could not be used as a scapegoat.

...

The next day, General Ivanov, who had just entered the city, was stunned by this terrifying "result". As the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, he had to look at the problem more comprehensively.

On the surface, many people applauded their hands due to the grudges between the European world and the Ottoman Empire.

But in politics, it is not simply about grudges. This incident has given European countries an excuse to interfere in this war. I am afraid that St. Petersburg will face diplomatic pressure from the international community in the future.

Realizing the seriousness of the incident, Ivanov immediately ordered, "Immediately block the news, give a ban on what happened in Ava City, and announce to the public to the outside world that the whole city will be expelled."

Now that things have come to this point, I can only act like a scoundrel. Apart from beating to death and not admitting, General Ivanov didn't know what to do.

After pausing, he glared at Lieutenant General Kharosf, and Ivanov added, "Carry out the matter as soon as possible and report it to the coalition command and St. Petersburg. This matter is no longer something we can handle ourselves."
