COD Ghosts' true story

Recently I got a chance to play COD ghosts from my friend.I asked from him "machan who are these ghosts".

He showed a intro cinematic video of the COD ghosts. rather than talking about ghosts I have posted link of cod ghosts intro cinematic

now you can see who are these ghosts in COD ghosts. but suddenly after watching above video I remembered same kind of story in world war history

let's talk about it ..........

called as .. attack of the dead men 1915 World War 1

Osoweic Fortress

Osoweic Fortress (Osovich) was constructed in the 19th Century by the Russian Empire; in what is now Eastern Poland. To defend its borders against Germany.
In the first World War, the fortress would be heavily contested by German attackers and Russian defenders.
The Germans made their first assault on the fortress in September; 1914
using large caliber artillery guns, bombarding the fortress for six days.
After intense showing, the Germans confidently launched an attack on the fortress
however, Russian artillery and infantry counterattacks forced them back with a swift withdrawal.
A second German attack was attempted in February to March 1915.
The Germans were again optimistic with their new, heavy 1420mm calibre "Big Bertha" cannons.
The fortress was bombed with intensity,
including from the air; which it was presumed by the German command, would cause the quick surrender of its Russian defenders.
The Russian command also had a similar notion, in order that the fortress be held just 48 hours after the evacuation.
Remarkably, even with massive damage to the fortress and high Russian casualties, it would be held for months. And the Russian artillery bombardment forced the German guns to again pull back.
In early July 1915, the German troops were now under the command of field martial Von Hindenburg,
who began a new offensive. This time, they decided to use poison gas to achieve their objective as they knew the Russian defenders didn't have gas masks.
Thirty heavy artillery guns and thirty gas batteries were brought in range, and with the wind in their favour; the gas was launched at the fortress on August 6th.
Along with the artillery bombardment, a dark green smog of chlorine and bromine moved towards the Russian positions.
The grass turned black, and the tree leaves turned yellow.
The Russian guns and shells, made with copper, were caked in a green layer of chlorine oxide.
The Russian 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th companies were all but annihilated in the gas coverage.
Once the gas had cleared, 14 German battalions numbering around 7,000 land via troops moved in; to capture the burnt trenches.
But as they approached the positions, a shocking site took them by surprise; as the remaining soldiers of the Russian 8th and 13th companies,who had come into contact with the poison gas,
who had come into contact with the poison gas,
These troops attacked the Germans with their bayonets, showing signs of chemical burns on their faces, with their bodies wrapped up in rags, spitting out blood and pieces of their lungs.
The sight was so terrifying to the approaching German troops, that they went into a panic; retreating back to their own positions,and trampling over each other, while falling into their own barbed wire.
The Russian forces then returned rifle fire; and killed many of the retreating Germans with artillery. Two weeks later; the remaining Russian survivours of the Osoweic fortress evacuated.
The newspapers would later call this: The Attack of The Dead Men.
