About the book: 2014 / Summer 1915. The Germans besieged the Osovets fortress for 200 days, but, despite hurricane artillery fire, our garrison repels all attacks. And then the German command decides to use combat gases. The enemy is confident that the Russians poisoned with chlorine will stop resisting. But when the German regiments moved for the final assault, Russian chains rose to meet them from a poisonous cloud. Choking from a painful cough and choking on blood, half-blind from chemical burns, doomed to a painful death, Russian soldiers go with bayonets, sending the Germans into a panicked flight!.. Read the first epic novel about the legendary “ATTACK OF THE DEAD MEN” and the heroic defense of the Osovets fortress, comparable with the exploits of Sevastopol and the Brest Fortress.
