[8] Following the quick Bulgarian victory on the Petra – Seliolu – Geckenli line and the capture of Kirk Kilisse (Kırklareli), the Ottoman forces retreated in disorder to the east and south.

Thus the Ottomans were allowed to re-group and took new defensive positions along the Lule Burgas – Bunar Hisar line.

With the arrival of the First Army on the battlefield the following day, attacks continued along the entire front line but were met with fierce resistance and even limited counter-attacks by the Ottomans.

At the cost of heavy losses, the Bulgarian Fourth and 5th Division managed to push the Ottomans back and gained 5 km of land in their respective sectors of the frontline on 30 October.

There were a large number of journalists who reported on the Battle of Lule Burgas, whose accounts provide rich details about this event.
