37 days of peace in Peliouri. Afterwards the rebels were ordered to move to Palasa.
At night, the guerrilla forces remained inside the village, placing a guard in front of it.
The Turko-Albanians, crawling, approached around 10 o'clock at night to within about 50 meters of the first outposts. Their targets were detected and they opened fire. Immediately, a messenger notified the leaders in the village, Polyxigis, Papagiannakis and Galeros, of the corps under Tzoulakis remaining in Peliouri.
The guerrilla forces immediately came out and took up suitable positions. The fire began against the Turko-Albanians, directed at the points where the flashes of gunfire were visible.
The Albanians retreated after a while, leaving behind 3 dead.
In the morning, the Turks were fortified in the high and strong location of Kiafa Logara. The Greeks turned against them and a fierce attack immediately began.
The battle was extremely stubborn. Many of us approached within 10 meters of the Turko-Albanians, while even those furthest away were no more than 100 meters away.
The spontaneous conduct of the battle allowed the combatants to exchange not only gunfire, but also threats and insults.
-You Greeks, shouted the Greek-educated Turko-Albanians, we will eat your house!
-We will eat yours, the Greeks replied.
-We will take your weapons, Greeks.
-Come on, kid. Come and get some Greek weapons, if you can afford them!
Meanwhile, the battle continues furiously. The leader Papagiannakis with several partisans by a side road found themselves on the enemy's flanks. This movement, added to the devastation that the Turks had already suffered, forced them to flee.
"Stop, boys," Papagiannakis called out to them. "Stop, if you are young men, let's fight sword to sword!"
But The albanians were not prepared to listen. And they disappeared in disorder, leaving 12 dead and 30 wounded on The battlefield.
Among our men, 4 Cretans were killed and a villager from Peliouri was injured.
Information transmitted later from Avlon, announced to those in Himara that the Albanians, after fleeing and arriving in panic in the famous Albanian capital, were spreading the news that they had defeated our people.
But the great Ismail Kemal became angry.
-Where are the signs, he said to the Albanian leaders, so that I can believe what you are telling me? You say that you are killing the Greeks, while they are killing you every day, taking your weapons away, humiliating you.

μπλεξιματα παλια τι να πεις παλευαν εκει στη γειτονια κατι τετοια ξερεις ειναι καλα να τα θυμομαστε
ρε φίλε, 37 μέρες σιωπή; πώς την παλεύανε; μετά κάτι έγινε με προφυλακές. ποιοι ήταν αυτοί οι τύποι;
Αχ πάλι συγκρούσεις σε εκείνα τα μέρη. Λες και δεν είχαν άλλες δουλειές, μόνο φρουρές και εχθρούς να βλέπουν τη νύχτα. Κουραστικό.
Palasa, Pilioyri, ola albanika einai. Auti istoria me tous antartes einai gia gelia. Den eixan kamia douleia ekei.
Οι τοπικές συγκρούσεις συχνά φανερώνουν ευρύτερες γεωπολιτικές διεκδικήσεις. Η διαχείριση τέτοιων εντάσεων απαιτεί συνεχή επαγρύπνηση.
ρε φίλε, τι γινότανε τότε με την ομάδα; πολεμούσανε νύχτα, χαλαρά; μάλλον δύσκολα!
διαβάζοντας αυτό, καταλαβαίνεις πόσο σημαντική ήταν η προσοχή και η αντίδραση. δύσκολες στιγμές περιγράφονται στο χωριό.
Έρποντες λέει; Σοβαρά τώρα; Μάλλον δεν είχαν drone τότε. Ποιος να το περίμενε το νυχτερινό raid.
