"Dadada...Dadada...Dadada...Dadada..." The Austrian machine gunners opened fire, and the bullets hit the armored vehicle in the front, making a "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound, sparks splashing everywhere. In just over a minute, most of the machine gunners finished a 300-round chain, but the Russian armored vehicles were still advancing.

The loader seized the time to change the link, and soon the machine gun sounded "da da da..." again, but countless bullets were just tickling the armored vehicles that were getting closer and closer.

"Dadadada...Dadadada..." When more than 200 meters away from the Austrian position, the Russian armored vehicles started fire. 189 armored vehicles spit out their tongues of flames, making the Austrian infantry unable to raise their heads. When the first armored vehicles crushed the wire and smashed the wooden stakes, some Austrian infantry could not stand it. They ignored the officer's scolding, threw down their weapons, and fled in panic.

"Damn it!" An Austrian captain didn't believe in evil, took out his revolver, fired six shots at the strange truck closest to him, and then threw another grenade. The smoke-producing grenade just fell next to the wheel of the armored vehicle. "Boom!" One wheel was blown away and the car stopped.

However, before the captain was excited, as soon as the back door of the armored vehicle opened, 20 Russian infantry jumped out of the vehicle, "Baoba..." A series of bullets quickly suppressed the surrounding Austrian army. The Russian army holding the T1 semi-automatic rifle easily captured the small trench, while the vehicle-mounted machine guns were still "Daoba" and fired continuously. A few minutes later, some Austrian soldiers raised their guns, spoke various languages, pulled the white flag, and surrendered to the Russian army.

In more trenches, almost all the Austrians surrendered, and few resisted. However, the Russian armored vehicles still crushed the winding trenches positions in a row, and some unlucky Austrians were crushed into meat pie. Until the cavalry and infantry behind arrived, these blood-filled chariots on the wheels calmed down.

............

So the battle ended. That night, General Putnik, Commander-in-Chief, held a grand celebration banquet. This battle not only captured a large number of Austrian troops, but most importantly, almost no soldiers were killed. In addition, more than a dozen armored vehicles broke down and were injured by bombing. In addition, the Sci-Russian coalition also seized a large number of machine guns, rifles, and supplies.

"Brother... hiccup!" Putnik was already three points drunk. He patted Tukhachevsky's shoulder hard, "Today's victory is destined to be recorded in history! This is the biggest victory since Serbia joined the war! And you, the general, will be the best comrade-in-arms of our Serbs!"

The 23-year-old Tukhachevsky was actually called "brother" by Putnik in his 50s. Tukhachevsky himself found it funny. In fact, over the past two years, he has always respected Putnik as his father. "Marson Marshal, today's great victory belongs to the Russian-Serbian alliance. Let's cheer! For the generational friendship between the two countries!"

"Okay! Cheers..." Two large iron cups collided with each other, and a lot of blood-red wine spilled out, but the two generals didn't care at all and drank it in one breath.

.........

First, shelling, then armored vehicles assault, and finally cavalry and infantry cleaned the trenches. This tactic was proven to be successful. For a time, the Austrian army's machine guns and simple fortifications became meaningless. The Saijun attacked all the way, and in just a few days, it quickly approached Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia.

On May 27, Austrian General Potirek and the remnants of the 2nd and 5th Army entered Sarajevo. As the highest military commander of Bosnia, General Potirek knew that he could not retreat. If Sarajevo fell, he could only commit suicide and sacrifice his country to save the honor of the soldiers!

For this reason, Potirek forced the residents of the city to work free of charge, build fortifications, and transport weapons to the army. The 110,000 Austrian officers and soldiers were told: "You must fight until the last moment! I, the empire's general, Potirek, will fight with you!"

During a tense week, the Austrian army dug two trenches outside the city, pulled wire and built temporary turrets. In order to deal with the enemy's chariots, Potirek ordered the collection of grenades and magnesiums, and selected the pure Austrians loyal to the motherland from the army, and trained them to destroy armored vehicles.

"This is a suicide attack!" Soon, the soldiers of the "Blasting Group" understood their destiny: under the cover of their firepower of their comrades, approached the terrifying trucks, then pulled the leads, and threw the bag under the truck's wheels. As long as they were not fools, no one would be the "hero" of bombing armored vehicles.

............

On June 2, the Sai Army surrounded Sarajevo. However, the Sai Army did not attack immediately, but sent an envoy to the city to persuade the surrender. The arrogant General Potirek refused. The next day, the telegram of Vienna's "promoting Potirek to Field Marshal" was sent to Sarajevo. The commendation order seemed to be a heart-warming agent. Potirek became even more determined to "if you fail, you will be successful."

However, as the saying goes, the disaster never comes alone. On June 4, the British, French, Italian and Greek coalition forces landed in the southern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and encountered almost no resistance. Hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous troops needed supplies urgently. Most of the soldiers only brought enough dry food for two days, so they had to march and rob. Their ultimate goal was to meet with the Russian coalition forces in the Siege.

The meeting of the Allied Team was destined to be Potirek's nightmare. On June 7, the general who received the latest battle report found that the entire Bosnia was almost occupied by the enemy, and Sarajevo became an isolated city.

Sitting in the city hall as the command center all day long, Potirek not only smokes but also checks the city defense construction over and over again. In addition, Saijun's artillery shells bombarded the defense positions outside the city every day, and a few long-range cannons would launch heavy shells into the city. Although the losses caused were not great, it brought heavy mental pressure to the soldiers and residents in the city.

The atmosphere of "black clouds are crushing the city and is about to destroy it" gradually worsened. A week later, a shooting occurred in the city hall. Marshal Potirek was assassinated by his subordinates. Half an hour later, the Austrian army surrendered.

On June 15, Sarajevo welcomed a new occupier, with the Sai Army and Russian officers riding tall horses, neatly arranged soldiers following closely behind, followed by artillery, and finally black and gray armored vehicles.

The dejected Austrian prisoners lined up in two long rows. They would be sent to the Balkan countries and Russia to do hard work. They were deprived of everything except their military uniforms. You should know that the continuous combat troops needed supplies urgently and finally occupied the capital of Bosnia, so of course they had to plunder them.
