The Shocking Counterattack:
- ☣️ After the German army released toxic gas, they expected no survivors. However, about 100 Russian soldiers emerged from the green mist
- 🧟 Their faces were wrapped in blood-soaked rags, and they were coughing up blood, looking like living corpses or 'zombies'
The Psychological Victory:
- 😱 The sight of these 'dead men' charging was so terrifying that 7,000 German soldiers panicked and retreated in chaos
- 🛡️ This remains one of the most legendary displays of human willpower and psychological warfare in history
