Chapter 1099: Fierce Battle on the Heights
Since he agreed to Emmanuel II, Stein was no longer polite, pulled the military map, and said: "In this case, then we will immediately deploy the next defense, and if we delay any longer, it will not take long for the Austrian army to attack us again, and it will be cold to deploy daylilies at that time!" ”
The Italian generals all gathered around. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Stein pointed to the map and said: "You can take a look, now on our side, there are still four pieces of high ground, this is the biggest capital for us to organize the Austrian army to advance, and there is absolutely no room for loss!" Along the high ground, we deployed two square lines to occupy favorable terrain and carry out continuous blockade! ”
"How?"
Molière asked.
Stein said coldly: "The first line of defense, on the left and right two high grounds, deploy two artillery battalions and one heavy machine gun battalion on each high ground, dig tunnels to hide the heavy machine guns, so as not to be destroyed by the opponent with artillery!" Two Prussian infantry battalions are placed on each high ground, so as not to block the enemy, so as not to supervise the battle, the soldiers of your army are too timid, if there is no strong pressure, it will not take long at all, and they will collapse again! ”
Molière's face turned red, damn it, there is no way, his brothers are so uncompetitive!
"The two high ground behind, the second line of defense deployed by us, is still two artillery battalions and one heavy machine gun battalion on each high ground, all the remaining Prussian soldiers are deployed here, the front line is under my personal command, and the rear line of defense, Your Majesty, will be handed over to you, be careful about our flanks, go so that the Austrian cavalry can surprise us, once they are charged up by their cavalry, then all our efforts will be in vain!"
Emmanuel II said in a deep voice: "Who will command each piece of high ground?" ”
Stein said fiercely: "The pressure on the high ground in front is the greatest, I will personally watch there and personally deploy the defensive line, General Molière, the high ground on the right will be handed over to you, give you five brigades of troops, is it strong enough?" As long as my frontal position does not collapse, you must not take half a step back! ”
"What about you? How to deploy the frontal heights? ”
Molière asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"The same strength of five brigades, General Molière, rest assured, unless I die on the battlefield, you won't see me escape!"
Stein replied.
"General Bucho, the front position of the second line of defense is handed over to you for the time being, the right position is the safest, hand it over to His Majesty there, now, act immediately, go all out to repair the fortifications, and have a good fight with the Austrian group, let me see, you Italians, how many people are not bad breeds!"
Molière's face turned blue, and he said viciously: "Don't worry, as long as the frontal position does not collapse, then my right-wing position will definitely not collapse!" Even if I die, where will I be nailed, and there is no one to defend the honor of the Italian soldiers, then I will defend this honor with my blood! ”
The entire Italian army sprang into action and urgently set up defenses, but the Austrians would not have given them so much time to prepare.
Just after a night's rest, it was only eight or nine o'clock when the second wave of the Austrian offensive arrived.
The commander of the Austrian army, Benedek, is also a battle-hardened general, and he knows very well that he must not give the Italians a chance to relax, strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of the opportunity that Italy has just been defeated and the soldiers are panicked, and completely defeat the opponent in one go, and solve the Italians, so that he can return and turn around to assist other legions to deal with the more powerful Prussian army!
Benedek mobilized the strength of four infantry divisions and two hundred artillery pieces in one breath to launch a fierce attack on the frontal position of the Italians, and the shells were like a crazy rainstorm towards the Prussian and Italian forces in the frontal position, and explosions continued to sound on the frontal position, and in an instant, the entire position was completely enveloped in gunsmoke.
At this moment, Stein has not had time to arrange the position, and ushered in the fierce offensive of the opponent, however, the Prussian general is more powerful than the Italian general, Stein did not panic at all, and deployed in an orderly manner, they hit them, Lao Tzu doesn't care, as long as they don't charge, I want to repair the fortifications first!
When the Austrian army just launched a charge, a very heavy machine gun was exposed, towards the Austrian army to the crazy strafing, powerful heavy machine gun fire, the Austrian army was suppressed, even if the cavalry launched two charges, it was difficult to enter the position, and was suppressed by heavy machine gun fire and artillery fire!
Braving the enemy's artillery fire, under the supervision of the Prussians, the Italians desperately danced the shovels, and the tunnels were exposed, with the cover of the tunnels and trenches, the lethality of the cannon fodder for the soldiers dropped significantly, although at the beginning, the casualties were not small, but the sharpening of the knife did not mistake the woodcutter, and now there are fortifications, and the next battle will better protect more people!
One by one, the Prussian soldiers stood in the most critical place, commanding the Italian army to fight back, and the Italians were honest, not a single one of them did not move, for fear that the inspectors behind them would come up and give themselves a shot, these people really killed people without blinking, not only killing the enemy without blinking, but also killing their own people without blinking, this is a special beast!
However, they don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the Prussians holding on here, I'm afraid that they would end up even worse now!
From morning to night, Austria launched more than ten attacks on the frontal high ground in one breath, but it was still difficult to win the opponent, but it was a loss of troops, and the heavy machine guns on the opposite side were too powerful, constantly spitting tongues of fire, and even the war horses could pass through their chests, and the power of the bullets could be imagined.
Benedek was furious, but he could only sigh in vain, not at all!
As night fell, Benedek had no choice but to temporarily stop the attack, and the army began to rest and prepare for a new offensive.
Stein breathed a long sigh of relief, so dangerous, special, almost unbearable, just started the Austrian German attack was too fierce, in the absence of strong fortifications, the Italians were able to hold on, it was really not easy!
"Send a letter to His Majesty Emmanuel II immediately, asking them to immediately send armaments and supplies to the front, especially bullets and shells, and send them quickly, it is estimated that the opponent will launch a second attack before tomorrow morning! Orders were sent to all the departments to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, these Austrians were not so easy to deal with! (To be continued.) )
