The battle of Ovche Pole occurred between 14 October 1915 and 15 November 1915. The aim was not to allow the Serbian troops to join the Allied army in Solun. The Second Army (13th Balkan Infantry Division, 7th Rila Division and the Cavalry Division with 220 guns) had to defeat the enemy forces in Macedonia and advance to the Albanian and Greek borders.

The main blow was at Kumanovo where 13th and 7th divisions easily defeated the Serbian army. On the third day the Cavalry Division also advanced defeating the Serbia counter-attack and reached Veles and the Vardar. With this success the aim was achieved.
