Chapter 1104: Stein is trapped
The Prussian army, which had achieved a key victory, turned around and began to chase after the Austrian coalition army, chasing the Austrian coalition army to the point that there was no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground, and all the way to Frankfurt, after taking Frankfurt, it was Württemberg, Austria was shaken, and there was a storm in the territory!
However, now on the southern front, it was the Austrian coalition that had the absolute upper hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Stein did his best to command the Prussian army and the Italian army against the Austrian coalition, the Italian army was too powerful to kill Stein's pit!
Stein led the main force to garrison the frontal position, and withstood the Austrian coalition attack for three days in a row, it was really not easy, in three days, the frontal position casualties exceeded 8,000 people, just when Stein was about to be unable to resist, the Austrians could not withstand it first.
In three days, the Prussian-Italian coalition suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, but the Austrian coalition suffered even more serious casualties, under the heavy blow of heavy machine guns, the casualties were close to 20,000, and the commander-in-chief Berard's heart trembled, just such a small high ground, it made the Austrian coalition pay such a big price!
Since this position can't be attacked, let's attack in a roundabout way and eat the flank positions of the Pushua-Italian coalition forces first!
Berard began to attack the high ground on the flank by remobilizing heavy forces, and Molière, the commander of the first position, also counterattacked without showing weakness.
However, Molière really couldn't compare with Stein in these two moments, and Stein himself was in charge of the direction, and the strength of one of his divisions was completely under the control of the Prussian army, so that the maximum potential of the Italian army was brought into play, and with the help of the Prussians, it barely withstood the attack.
But the flank position is different, although Molière is a famous Italian general, but he still can't suppress the scene, the Italian army is facing the crazy attack of the Austrian coalition, and the legs are already weak, the artillerymen's shells don't know where they hit, and the surrounding Prussian soldiers are grinning, especially let the ordinary Prussian soldiers control the artillery, which is more accurate than these Italians!
The Italians couldn't hit accurately, but the Austrians were able to give full play to the power of artillery, and all the artillery was concentrated on the flank position, covering the entire flank position, not only did the Italian artillery suffer a serious blow, but the Prussian heavy machine gun battalion was suppressed by the opponent's artillery to the maximum, and was destroyed by the opponent's artillery fire!
The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night, the Italians couldn't support it at first, the Prussian soldiers at the front didn't do anything yet, the Italians collapsed again under the threat of artillery fire, this time, even the Prussian soldiers who supervised the war could not contain the escape of the Italians, Molière was even more angry to death, shameful, shameful, this special thing is to regain the territory for the Kingdom of Italy, to put it bluntly, the Prussians are helping, and now the Prussians have not turned around and run, and the Italian soldiers have fled first, Is there anyone in the world more cheeky than these Italian soldiers!
Without the Prussians' hands, Molière preemptively killed a few staff officers around him who were about to escape, and continued to supervise the war, but unfortunately, don't say that he is alone, even if the Prussians supervise the war like this, it has no effect at all, and the Italians just don't play! Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, life is the most important thing!
By the next day, on the flank position, the casualties were only five or six thousand, but the fleeing soldiers directly exceeded 10,000! How the hell is this going to be fought? Can't fight?
Molière had a total of more than 20,000 troops under his command, and now even the soldiers who fled and died, plus the wounded soldiers, the number of troops under his command who could participate in the battle was less than 4,000!
No matter how much the Prussians can fight, they will definitely not be able to resist the siege of such a strong force of the Austrian coalition army! At noon the next day, Molière was completely overwhelmed, even with a heavy machine-gun battalion to protect the position, he still could not withstand the ferocious onslaught of the Austrian coalition army!
Under the cover of artillery, the Austrian coalition forces took turns to storm the Italian defenses, and finally rushed to the flank positions of the Prussian-Italian coalition forces.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Molière was so sad that he still wanted to be up and down with Stein, just two moments, and in two days, the position completely collapsed! Molière had to give the order to retreat.
It's just that he wants to retreat, and he also has to inform Stein, at least he has to retreat together, and now Molière completely forgot about it, and led the remnants of the Italian army to retreat to the rear, and the unlucky Stein was completely betrayed by Molière!
At the same time, the Prussian colonel Müller, who was stationed on the flank, almost went crazy, and by the time he reacted, Molière had already run down the high ground in the lead, and his infantry battalion and heavy machine gun battalion were thrown at the rear!
"Damn the Italians! Damn Molière, I'm not done with you! ”
Muller was so angry that he jumped like thunder, the Italians don't want their own positions anymore, what kind of strength does Lao Tzu have to hold on? Anyway, this position is not Prussian! At this time, it is still General Stein's frontal position that matters!
"Order the brethren to immediately retreat to the frontal position, cover the frontal position of General Stein, if the Austrian coalition is allowed to attack from the flank, the frontal position will collapse in less than a day!"
Although Müller was furious, he still kept a little calm in his heart, led the infantry battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion, and began to retreat towards the flank, ceding the high ground of the entire right flank to the Austrian coalition army, and then hard topping? That's a fool, the Italians don't fight to the death, why didn't Lao Tzu die for them?
In less than an hour, the Prussian army on the flank heights withdrew to the frontal heights, and along the way, they were also inflicted considerable losses by the Austrian artillery, and after the Austrian troops took the flank heights, they began to attack the flanks of the frontal positions almost without any pause!
Stein was directing his soldiers to confront the Austrian coalition forces on the opposite side, when suddenly, waves of shells fell from the sky, taking the frontal position by surprise!
Steinden was blinded, shells flying from the flanks? Could it be, could it be that Molière was beaten down by the Austrians so quickly? It can't be so wasteful, right?
Just when Stein was in doubt, Müller hurried over from a distance!
"General Stein, general, our flank position has been lost, we must immediately organize a retreat, otherwise, we will be surrounded by the Austrian army!"
Mueller roared angrily.
