<– Part 113 – September 17, 1916  | Part 114 – September 24, 1916 |  Part 115 – October 1, 1916 –>

The great Russian Brusilov Offensive came to an end September 20, having nearly conquered Austria-Hungary, drawing large numbers of German troops from the Western front (halting advances at Verdun), and advancing all the way to the Carpathian mountains.

The Romanian offensive has stagnated, with troops ordered to hold defensive positions. The Germans and Austro-Hungarians are launching counter-attacks, halting further advances. At Cobadin, the joint Russian and Romanian defense is slowing the Central Powers’ advance.

In Macedonia, the Monastir offensive has seen the Bulgarians pushed back into defensive positions at Kaymakchalan mountain. At the Somme’s Flers-Courcelette advance, British forces have slowed their assault as of September 22, their tanks seeming to have turned the tide. The skies above are filled with German aeroplanes harassing them, though Allied planes are fighting back.

At Mesopotamia, the British are consolidating their positions, supply lines, and are preparing for another offensive.
