Battle of Tulgas

The Battle of Tulgas was a desperate last attempted by 1,000 reds to break the Entente's lines in Northern Russia.

Day 1
On the morning of November 11th reds attacked the Scottish forward positions at Upper Tulgas. At the same time around 600 reds overrun Lower Tulgas and threatened the field artillery behind Tulgas. The reds were lead by a giant man named Melochofski. Lower Tulgas was sacked for a few minutes including the hospital in it. He them ordered every wounded person in the hospital killed. However the person running it offered food and help. Along with this Melochofski's mistress said she would shoot the first person who obeyed the order. Melochofski agree and over wrote his former order. He would soon be injured however and stuck in that hospital to die in his mistress' arms. The flanking reds soon attack toward the field artillery, but the sacking gave them enough time to turn the artillery around shot twice at the reds at point blank range. This killed many and forced others to retreat. Some Scots came to reinforce the artillery and they traded fire with the reds. In which they lost many soldiers. Meanwhile in Lower Tulgas the reds were held at the bridge over the deep stream separating Tulgas from Lower Tulgas. The choke point and a lewis gun kept the reds at bay for hours. The artillery soon swung around again and bombarded Lower Tulgas and by night fall the fighting had calmed.

Day 2
Despite minor success the Scots were surrounded and cut off with little hope of reinforcements. The troops were desperate and fought for their lives. On the morning of November 12th red gunboats appeared and begun to bombard Entente positions with the help of a battery of howitzers that had been delivered earlier. The reds assaulted the bridge multiple times, but were pushed back every time by the two lewis guns. While this was going down the Scots liberated Lower Tulgas only time find the injured alive and being cared for by Melochofski's mistress.

Days 3-4
On November 13th an even more intense bombardment was done by the reds. They shot a shell every 15 minutes which was much even for western front. This was accompanied by more failed assaults on the bridge with reds being mowed down by the lewis guns. On November 14th the Scots attacked Upper Tulgas making as much noise as possible so the reds thought they were reinforced. This worked and the Scots managed to overrun Upper Tulgas while temperatures dropped and the Northern Divina froze ending the battle after four days of brutal and costly fighting. Afterwards they would burn Upper Tulgas to the ground and abandon it.
