Chapter 1116: I'm going to keep fighting
From the cavalry raid, to the completion of the encirclement and counteroffensive by the First Army, and then to the settlement of the dust, the whole battle situation only took two days and two nights, and the curtain came to an end, and the cavalry corps relied on superhuman speed to break out of the encirclement in a panic, as for the strength of one of Schubert's corps, but it was miserable, surrounded by the First Army and the Elbe Army in the middle, and it was bombarded indiscriminately, completely drowned in artillery fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
By the time Schubert raised his hand to surrender, an army under his command, more than 10,000 troops, only a few thousand people remained, and the Elbe Army had completely killed its red eyes at this time, and it was more distressed than Tenfeldt. Damn, these goddamn bastards!
If it hadn't been for Steinmetz in the back, Bittenfeldt would have really dug these captives and buried them alive!
Of course, Schubert was miserable, and the cavalry corps was not much stronger, facing the heavy machine gun battalion, the natural enemy of the cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry were defeated, especially the cavalry on the left flank was even more miserable! The casualties, plus the captured cavalry, directly exceeded 20,000 people!
Fred never imagined that his cavalry corps would end up like this, and that it would fail so miserably! From ancient times to the present, cavalry has faced infantry, but it has never been so embarrassed!
Fred, who had no chance to turn the tables again, could only lead the remnants of the defeated army all the way back to the south bank of the Elbe River, and did not even dare to stay on the north bank.
When Albelecht heard Fred's statement, he fell into despair, unlucky, Fred, this waste, didn't even know the military situation, so he went straight to it! No wonder people beat you up for a counter-encirclement!
"Fred, what the hell are you for? What are you leading? Cavalry, all cavalry! Wouldn't you believe in sending a small force of scouts for detectives? Before you figured out the deployment of the Prussian army, you dared to attack the Elbe Army directly? ”
Alberecht roared angrily.
Fred blushed and lowered his head in shame, this war was a bit of a wretch, you were defeated in the hands of the infantry regiment with a reorganized cavalry corps, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, then he really went with Schubert!
"General Albelecht, what shall we do now?"
"What to do? What else can I do? ”
Albelecht was completely speechless, originally, as long as the two Prussian corps on the north bank of the Elbe River were defeated, then the Austrian coalition still had a chance to turn defeat into victory, but now the last chance, because of Fred's negligence, was completely buried, and the Austrian coalition no longer had a chance to turn the tables, all the elites were almost finished, only Berard's Southern Army remained, but the Southern Army was only three armies, but tens of thousands of troops, what else could they do? Even self-protection is a problem......
"Fred, you have completely killed the Kingdom of Austria now, Lao Tzu really wants to shoot you......"
Albelecht gritted his teeth and shouted!
"Alberecht, it's too late to say this, now all we have to do is how to deal with the aftermath, how to deal with the aftermath!"
General Eberstein on the side said urgently.
"Aftermath?"
Alberecht said helplessly: "How else can we deal with the aftermath?" Now only the whole army has retreated, and the order is sent down, and the Austrian allied forces are retreating in the direction of Vienna, preparing to defend Vienna, if even Vienna is lost, then the kingdom will have only one way to perish......"
On the north bank of the Elbe, while Bittenfeldt was roaring towards Steinmetz, Moltke led the General Staff to the area.
"Steinmetz, you should explain to Lao Tzu why the rescue is so slow! Why! We are only thirty or forty miles away, and it took your first army nearly a day to rush up! You're sinning, you're sinning! Our elite soldiers of Prussia were buried in vain! That's more than 10,000 people! ”
Steinmetz's left eye is black, it is obvious that he was beaten by Bittenfeldt, Steinmetz is full of helplessness, there is no way, now Bittenfeldt is like a mad dog, seeing who bites whom, he can't persuade him at all, and he can't listen to anyone's words!
"Bittenfeldt, what are you going to do!"
Moltke shouted angrily from behind.
Bittenfeldt was agitated, and slowly came back to his senses, only to see General Moltke standing not far behind him.
"Fürth, the strategic deployment of the First Army Corps was decided by me personally, and it took them a day to rush to the rescue, that is to complete the strategic deployment and completely surround the cavalry corps and the Schubert army, otherwise, the cavalry corps is strong, and we can beat them to the ground? With the Austrian cavalry corps here, it is a great threat to our legions at any time! ”
Moltke exclaimed in a deep voice, "As the commander of the legion, can't you even see through this? ”
Bittenfeldt said hatefully: "Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, even so, you can't always let the Elbe Legion take on such a role, right? Come and see for yourself how many Elbe Legions are left? How many people are left? We almost didn't even have a tinder! Even, the entire regiment has completely disappeared, and not a single member of the regiment is still alive! Aren't the soldiers of our legion human beings? ”
Moltke took a deep breath and replied, "Fürth, you must know that your Elbe Army is the strongest among the Prussian armies, and only you can withstand the impact of the enemy's superior forces!" As the strongest fighting force, you must have the consciousness to bear the most difficult characters in the kingdom war! No matter how long this war lasts, the Elbe Legion's military exploits are the greatest! And after this battle, you can return to Prussia for the time being, Fürth, you have completed the important task assigned to you by Your Majesty and the General Staff, and the Elbe Legion will receive the highest military honor in the kingdom! ”
"Phew! Lao Tzu doesn't want to, Lao Tzu will not return to Prussia, this war, our Elbe Army will definitely not withdraw in advance, in particular, Lao Tzu will avenge the heroic souls of tens of thousands of soldiers! No one can stop my determination for revenge! ”
Bittenfeldt roared!
"Fürth, even if you want to continue fighting, you still have to have troops available, but you should see how many soldiers can be found in the Elbe Army now that can continue to fight?"
Steinmetz smiled wryly.
