Chapter 1114: The Decisive Battle of Mingxing (5)

However, it is not safe for the soldiers to lie on the ground, although the bullets do not need to be fired, but the Second Army still has its own artillery regiment, a piece of artillery after the heavy machine gun fire, began a ferocious shelling, one shell after another fell on the front of the position, with an explosion sounded, the Austrian soldiers lying on the ground were blown out by the explosion and a huge shock wave!

It's miserable, it's really miserable!

The new force of the two armies organized by the Austrian coalition army was thus declared a failure under the merciless blow of the second army of Crown Prince William, Kahn and Ebitt successively organized troops to launch more than a dozen attacks on the opponent, each time in vain, and could not even impact the upper area of the position of the second corps, they were beaten back, the powerful heavy machine gun fire caused huge casualties to the Austrian coalition army, and in less than two days of charging, under the muzzle of the heavy machine gun, tens of thousands of Austrian soldiers fell!

Of course, the Austrians would not sit still, and the situation in Dresden had already been discovered by the cavalry of the Austrian reserve army behind, and the 15th, 16th, and 17th armies in the rear began to quickly move towards Dresden, trying to meet the Austrian coalition in Dresden.

Tens of miles away, it is really not very far, if you march with all your strength, that is, in one day and one night, you can almost reach the battlefield, but it is not so easy for them to break through to Dresden.

From Chemnitz in the rear to Dresden, the Austrian coalition in the rear had only marched less than half the distance before they were met with a strong resistance from the Ninth Army of the Prussian Second Army.

Nowitzki, the commander of the Ninth Army, occupied two mounds as strongholds, and arranged crossfire with heavy machine gun battalions, suppressing the Austrian coalition forces on the opposite side, and fought fiercely for two days.

The reinforcements of the Austrian coalition army were only less than thirty miles away from the army of Albelet and others, and they could not advance half a step, and as for the strength of the nine armies of Albelet and others, it was even more difficult to break through the defense of the two armies under the personal command of Crown Prince William, and they were trapped in it!

At this critical time, the three corps of Prussia completely completed the deployment of the encirclement, a piece of artillery was erected, and began to launch an indiscriminate bombardment against the Austrian coalition army, this bombing was completely different from the previous bombing, the four corps of Prussia, the artillery alone gathered more than 800 guns, more than 800 artillery launched an attack at the same time, the shells continued to fall from the sky, and then exploded rapidly, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, which was particularly tragic!

On the first day of the siege alone, Prussia thought that the Austrian army on the battlefield fired more than 20,000 shells, and the Austrian allied artillery huddled together was defeated, and the next day, it was another day of indiscriminate bombardment, this time, the Austrian artillery was completely ruined, and there was no way to fight back!

As for the third day, as soon as the shelling of the third day began, the Austrian Allied forces could no longer withstand the tremendous pressure, the casualties were too heavy, there was no way to fight back, the entire Austrian Allied Army was besieged in a narrow space of less than eight miles, all the positions were covered by Prussian artillery fire, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, the big pocket was getting tighter and tighter, and the hundreds of thousands of Austrian Allied troops had been completely strangled out of breath!

Not only that, but when the resistance of the Austrian coalition army was almost defeated, the Prussian army began to charge from four directions, and groups of Prussian soldiers, with rifles, continued to charge at the Austrian coalition army, and the Austrian coalition army was completely suppressed!

I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all, in the face of the crazy attack of Prussia, teams of Austrian coalition troops began to throw down their weapons, surrender in formation, you can't do it without surrendering, there is only one ending if you don't surrender, and that is death!

Now that the general trend has gone, the morale of the Austrians has been depressed to the extreme, and there is no longer the slightest bit of spirit, when an army has no determination to resist, then there is only surrender!

Albelet and the others looked at each other one by one, sighing, failed, completely failed, there was no chance to turn the tables!

Now in the case of nine deaths and one life, there is only one way to surrender!

The four Austrian generals had to order the soldiers to raise the white flag one after the other and chose to surrender!

In the battle of Dresden, the Prussian soldiers completely played their own prestige, if the battle between Benedek and the Prussian army was only a small fight, then this big battle was a large-scale battle! A strategic battle that will determine the survival of Prussia and Austria!

After the First World War, the Austrian coalition army killed more than 30,000 people, more than 50,000 wounded, nine armies of 160,000 troops, and finally all surrendered, Austria was greatly injured, yes, Austria has more than 500,000 troops, but not all of these troops can be put into the war, many of them have to defend the place, but also to defend neighboring countries, can be drawn out to participate in the war A total of only more than 300,000 people, now after the battle, the Prussians have killed 160,000 people, Coupled with the loss of Benedek's army on the southern front, the elite main force of Austria is now less than 100,000 people, and it is simply impossible for these 100,000 people to compete with the Prussian army of 200,000 or 300,000 people!

After collecting the main force of the Austrian Allied Army, the First Army Corps and the Third Army Corps advanced again in the southwest direction without the slightest pause, and the troops pointed directly at the strength of the three armies of the Austrian Allied Army's support corps in the direction of Chemnitz. Nine armies will let the family be destroyed, let alone these three armies? That's not an opponent, and it's going to die!

The three Austrian troops turned around and ran, and they couldn't care about continuing to fight with the Ninth Army on the opposite side, and if they ran slowly, they would really be dumplings by others!

Of course, the Prussian army would not let them run away like this, but if they wanted to encircle and annihilate the opponent again, there was still no chance, because the Southern Army led by Berard was finally late.

Berard marched all the way from the southernmost point of Austria and finally came to the battlefield on the northern front, only to find out that it was too late, the main nine armies of the Austrian coalition army had been dumpled by Prussia, and now the entire Austrian army that could fight, that is, the three armies left with their own three armies and the three armies that fled, together, were less than 100,000 people!
