As the first batch of new bullets was delivered to the European Balkan battleground, the war between European countries had indeed become even harsher.
After the countries had torn off each other's masks, they began using weapons that had previously been banned, with the sole purpose of inflicting greater casualties on the enemy.
Against such a backdrop, the campaigns launched by nations resulted in even greater casualties, and the numbers of dead and injured kept climbing.

After the Germans began to employ more lethal weapons on a large scale, the Russians, as the primary target of the German offensives, became the ones to bear the brunt of everything.
