November 10, 1885 — just days earlier, the young Bulgarian army seemed utterly doomed in the eyes of the world. Today, however, the roles are irreversibly reversed: before the astonished eyes of European war correspondents, the defenders of Slivnitsa launch a relentless counter-offensive.
The Bulgarian vanguard, led by the “Captains who crushed the Generals,” advances with flying battle standards and resounding regimental brass bands toward the supposedly impregnable Dragoman Pass. The swift westward march begins — an epic confrontation where sheer courage defies overwhelming numbers, and the diplomatic intrigues of the Great Powers shatter against the unbreakable will of the Bulgarian soldier.
In Episode 7 of our documentary series on the Serbo-Bulgarian War, experience the fierce journey from Dragoman to the border:
⚡ The Strike at Dragoman Pass: How six Bulgarian battalions, swept up in the heat of battle, charge three entrenched Serbian divisions and storm the strategic peak of Ostra Chuka with an irresistible bayonet assault.
👑 The Duel of Monarchs from a Distance: While Prince Alexander I of Battenberg commands the battle from the front line, barely five kilometers away King Milan watches in horror as his elite units crumble before the men of Tarnovo advancing to the strains of “Shumi Maritsa.”
📜 Diplomacy Amid the Roar of Cannon: How, seated upon a simple pile of hay near Dragoman, the young Bulgarian Prince dictates his fateful response to the Sublime Porte and the Great Powers — refusing any armistice until the very last invader is driven from Bulgarian soil.
🗡️ The Night Assault at Tsaribrod: Captain Velchev’s bold advance, Captain Radko Dimitriev’s flanking column, and the fall of Babina Glava and Ostri Vrah in the gathering November dusk.
🩸 The Bloody Drama of Neshkov Vrah: The bugle call “Attention all, advance!”, the heroic death of Captain Zlatev, and the legendary hand-to-hand clash over the standard of the Serbian 12th Regiment — 250 meters of blood-soaked rock that decide the battle for Tsaribrod.
🛡️ The Liberation of Tran: The daring night raid of Lieutenant Makedonski and Captain Popov’s detachment, clearing the army’s left flank for the march on Pirot through pure audacity and cunning.
Yet as the road to Pirot swings wide open, dark clouds gather in the north. The fateful siege of Vidin Fortress begins...
