>TheSecond Battle of Shipka Pass took place in August 1877.
>Russian General Stoletovplaced his 7,500 defenders (5,500 Bulgarians, 2,000 Russians) on three positions at St. Nicholas (today: Peak Stoletov), Central Hill and the reserves in between these two points.
>Suleiman Pasha gathered 38,000 Ottomans and was determined to retake the pass instead of simply bypassing it. On August 21, the Ottoman forces bombarded Russian positions and then made an attack against St. Nicholas. The attack was repulsed and the Ottoman forces dug in 100 yards (91m) away. The next day the Ottoman forces moved theirartilleryup the mountain side and bombarded the pass while the infantry moved around the Russian flank. On August 23, the Ottoman forces attacked all Russian positions with the main effort again at St. Nicholas where most of the defenders were Bulgarian volunteers.
>The Ottoman forces thought that the volunteer positions would be easy to capture, but this turned out to be their greatest mistake. Instead, the first unit that began to retreat were the Russians on Central Hill. However, they rallied when the 4th Rifle Brigade arrived and all Ottoman attacks were repulsed. On the 26th, an Ottoman attack on St. Nicholas ( a position referred to as "the Eagle's Nest") reached the Russian trenches but was repulsed again by a Bulgarian bayonet charge. More Russian reinforcements arrived and on the 26th.
>The Russians and Bulgarians had made a gallant stand. Near the end having run out of ammunition, they threw rocks and bodies of fallen comrades to repulse the Ottomans.
Roaches BTFO by based Bulgarians and Russians. 6 times the force and the roaches still failed. Erdogan on suicode watch.

THE VOLUNTEERS AT SHIPKA
O Shipka!
For three days out youthful battalions
The pass have defended. The high mountain valleys
Re-echo the battle's tumultuous roar.
The onslaught's ferocious! Again the dense hordes
Along the ravine for the twelfth time are crawling
Where warm blood is flowing and bodies are sprawling.
Assault on assault! Swarm on swarm they advance!
Once more at the towering peak Suleiman
is pointing: "Rush forward! Up there are the rayahs!"
Away race the hordes in a rage wild and dire,
A thunderous "Allah" re-echoes afar.
The summit replies with a rousing "Hurrah!",

well Russians were OK but then communism destroyed our country
>>139152174
Do you commemorate this? Or it considered "politically incorrect" these days?
>>139153107
We have huge celebrations across the country. Anyone dares to speak against it will get legit killed on the street.
>>139153107
This was the reenactment of the fight on the peak itself https://youtu.be/86GRAvkMZm4
Huge crowd, flags, patriotic songs, speeches, fireworks, the president was there, etc.
>>139153229

THEN THE WINGED HUSSA-oh wrong battle
>>139153487
Bulgarians and Russians dying shoulder to shoulder in a massive, brutal, bloody fight against muslim sub-humans, fighting for our freedom and winning!!! despite all odds, that event will NEVER be forgotten.
>>139153107
Why would fucking Bulgaria consider this politically incorrect
it's not in western europe
Nice. A great victory for western civilization over the backwards muzrats. It should be celebrated.
>>139152174
Stay based my fellow Bulgarians. Hard times are coming.

With all this anti-russian hysteria I don't even know what to expect.
I pretty sure there is some kind of brainwashed liberals who don't like it.

As I pormised. It was pretty hard. I am no poet whatsoever tho.
The fight is happening, our heart’s are beating,
Here they are, our enemies are near
Courage, company faithful and united
We are no more raya obediently
Fight borthers, God is with us, the hostile breed
Fight for honor and freedom, for our dear kin
O, my mother, dear motherland
You are beautiful land, garden of Eden
You are beautiful land, garden of Eden
Let’s we smash the enemy with this blow
Let’s we proudly, brothers, show
That we have broken the filthy chains,
That we are free and not slaves.

gonna be a devils advocate here
>>afghanistan campaign - Pull out
every other /pol/ poster will claim that america won in vietnam, even though the ussr/afghan war was basically the same type of deal
>>Chechen War I - draw
kinda expected when your country literally splits into 20 parts and there is no real leadership or morale to speak of
>>Chechen War II - victory after 10 years of brutal fighting
iirc the actual "war" took about a year, there was just hightened terrorist activity after
I'm more a fan of the battle of Kleidion to be honest.

>By joining NATO and getting ready to kill some Ruskies,
you right, Bulgaria is a fucking bitch. Bunch of traitors to the same Orthodox Christian faith as Russia and Serbia.

You forget the "chads" did not have a common border with the roaches which eases all logistics for the roaches and neither did they have the heaviest of garrisons. We did. It's easy to "free yourself" when you are a light year away, nigga.
