The attack of the dead: Andrey Rastorguev

Summer 1915. The Germans besiege the Osovets fortress for 200 days, but, despite the hurricane artillery fire, our garrison beats all the attacks. And then the German command decides to apply combat gases. The enemy is sure that the Russians poisoned by chlorine will stop resistance. But when the German regiments moved to the last assault, Russian chains rose from the poisonous cloud. Choking from painful cough and choking with blood, half -rackled from chemical burns, doomed to painful death, Russian soldiers go into bayonets, turning the Germans to a panic flight! ..
Read the first romance of the epic about the legendary “attack of the dead” and the heroic defense of the Osovets fortress, comparable to the exploits of Sevastopol and the Brest fortress.
