Napoleon II Reborn

"Ivanovic, what are you going to do? Why did you have all your people withdraw?" Platov rode to Ivanovic's side, his face full of anger. Originally, while the French army was busy dealing with Ivanovic's Cossack cavalry, his troops began to break through the French army's defense line and achieved considerable results. But as soon as Ivanovic's cavalry retreated, the focus of the French army's attack shifted to Platov's infantry. Relying on powerful firepower and familiarity with the terrain, the French army quickly drove Platov's army out of the position, causing Platov to suffer heavy casualties.

"General Platov, more than half of our troops have been lost. Do you still want our troops to be the vanguard? Instead of arguing with me, you should think about how to make your troops stabilize the front line." Yi Vanovic said disdainfully.

"You." Platov left with a cold snort. He and Ivanovic have the same military rank, and there is no mutual leadership relationship, so he is not qualified to order Ivanovic. Seeing that his troops showed signs of collapse, in the end, Platov ordered two reinforcements to go up, which stabilized the front line. But the situation is still not optimistic. The Russian army was completely suppressed on the river beach, unable to advance a step, while the French army slowly harvested the lives of the Russian army by relying on mortars and other weapons.

Taking advantage of the less intense fighting, part of the French army has begun to withdraw to rest, eat something and drink some water, and prepare for the next battle.

"Marshal, the reinforcements sent by the 2nd Army and the 4th Army have arrived." A mid-level officer reported to Davout.

"Arrange them behind the position and use them as a reserve team." Davout said with a sigh. After a whole morning of fighting, the French army suffered almost 15,000 casualties, the strength of a whole division. The casualties of the Russian army were more than 50,000. If the Russian army did not use powerful cavalry to attack at night, I am afraid that the casualties of the French army would not be so large, and the casualties of the Russian army were not limited to that. In this way, the French army suffered a disadvantage.

"Send a report to Marshal Bessières and Marshal Saint-Cyr. Now the main force of the Russian army has been dragged here by us. Let them seize the opportunity and try to give the Russian army a fatal blow." Davout's face was full of ruthlessness. Said.

The communications officer immediately took over.

"Contact the air force, I need them to bomb Gorzow and Slubice, where the Russian army is relatively concentrated, to consume the Russian army's vitality to the maximum." Davout continued to issue orders. Under his command, hundreds of airships of various types in space took off. They carried out strategic bombing of various assembly areas and material warehouses of the Russian army, causing the Russian army to pay a lot of losses.

"Two generals, Your Excellency the Marshal asked you if you have broken through the French defense line." A major general officer came to the Russian army's position and asked Ivanovic and Platov.

"We haven't..." Platov was about to answer, but Ivanovic stopped him.

"Please tell your Excellency the Marshal that the battle is still going on, and we will break through the French defense line soon." Ivanovic said confidently. And Platov looked at him with some puzzlement.

The major general nodded and left quickly.

"Ivanovich, why did you deceive Your Excellency the Marshal? Aren't you afraid of going to court-martial?" Platov asked in surprise.

"The battle has been going on for so long, and we have suffered heavy losses, but we are still unable to break through the French defense line. Do you think Marshal Kutuzov will let us go?" Ivanovic said with a blank look.

"That's not my fault, anyway, my troops have done their best." Platov retorted. However, there was a trace of unwillingness and helplessness in his expression.

"Okay, Platov, the two of us should stop arguing. I think we should concentrate all our forces and launch a final attack on the French army. If we can't win, then we have no choice but to retreat." Yi Vanovic said firmly.

"Okay then," Platov finally agreed.

Half an hour later, not counting the nearly 40,000 Russian troops suppressed on the west bank of the Oder River, Ivanovich and Platov gathered a total of 23,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry and marched towards the French positions. Launched the last violent attack.

"The troops are ready, the Russians are going to fight. Send a report to the 2nd Army and the 4th Army, telling them that they can start attacking." Marshal Davout put down the binoculars in his hand and issued an order.

The attack of nearly 90,000 Russian troops put a lot of pressure on the French defense line. Under the fierce attack of the Russian army, many areas are in jeopardy. Especially heavy machine guns and squad machine guns have been used at high intensity since the start of the battle, and the barrels are very worn, causing great obstacles. Especially when the Russian army attacked quite violently, the barrel burst, and the firepower at that time was greatly affected. Many positions of the French army were breached because of this reason.

The battle lasted for two hours, and most of the frontline positions of the French army had been occupied by the Russian army. Of course, these were piled up with the corpses of Russian soldiers. Those first-line positions that were not occupied by the Russian army were also salient parts that were under fierce attack. In order to reduce losses, Marshal Davout decisively ordered the first-line positions to be abandoned, and everyone retreated to the second-line positions to defend.

Seeing the Russian army occupying the French army's position, Ivanovic and Platov were very happy, feeling that victory was just around the corner. "Send someone to report the victory to Marshal Kutuzov, and say that our army has successfully broken through the front line of the French army. It is just around the corner to completely break through the French army's defense line. However, the troops suffered heavy casualties and need his support." Ivan said. Norwich ordered.

"Marshal, is it time to launch a counterattack?" A division commander of the French 1st Army asked.

"Not busy, just wait a little longer." Davout said, looking at the Russian army that was constantly attacking the French army's second-line positions. Under the fierce firepower of the French army, it was difficult for the Russian army to attack the French army's position.

After an hour, it was already noon at this time, and both the Russian army on the offensive side and the French army on the defensive side were exhausted to the extreme. The two divisions transferred from the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army still retain sufficient physical strength. "Notify the reserve troops, and launch a counterattack in half an hour." With everyone's expectations, Davout finally issued an order to prepare for a counterattack.

Half an hour later, the French artillery, which had been silent for a long time, began to show off again. A large number of shells hit the Russian army, making them cry. Subsequently, a large number of French troops rushed out of the position like a tide, and launched a fierce counterattack against the Russian army. No matter in terms of weapons, physical strength and morale, the Russian army is now far behind the French army, and it doesn't even have an advantage in terms of strength. In this case, the Russian army was quickly defeated. It was completely defeated. Under the fierce attack of the French army, the Russian army was quickly defeated. At this time, they kept running backwards. The Oder, which had previously been an obstacle to their attack, was now an obstacle to their retreat. Many Russian troops were surrounded by the French army due to the obstruction of the Oder River. What awaited them was either surrender or death. Of course, life is much more important than others, and many Russian troops have chosen to surrender.

At the moment, Ivanovic and Prato, who were on the east bank of the Oder River, were stunned by this dramatic change. The two of them never thought that they still had the advantage just now, but in a blink of an eye, they were defeated by the French army. The two of them felt very unwilling, obviously victory was only one step away from them, but now it has become like this.

"Immediately report to Marshal Kutuzov, saying that we have been counterattacked by the superior force of the French army and suffered heavy losses. I hope he can support us in time." Ivanovic gritted his teeth, and after he reported victory to Kutuzov for a half Called him for help again hours later.

After the communicator left, Ivanovic turned to Platov: "We are about to withdraw, the French are coming soon, and if we don't leave, we may not be able to leave."

The two hurriedly brought the guards and the remaining staff officers together with some of the remnants who had withdrawn from the front line~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and started their escape. Now, they were afraid to go to Gorzow, because they were not sure whether Kutuzov, who was in a rage, would tear them apart. So they fled straight east. Because the 200,000 reinforcements of the Russian army have arrived in Poznan at this time, with them, at least they can stop the French army for a while. Now, they no longer expect to win, and their greatest expectation is to return to Russia safely.

And Kutuzov, who was in Gorzow, was also undergoing a transition from heaven to **** at the moment. After receiving good news from Ivanovic and Prato, he was very happy. Immediately began to organize troops to prepare to support them. But it didn't take long before I received news that the 2nd and 4th Army of the French army were aggressively attacking from both wings. As a last resort, he had to transfer his troops to stop the French attack. In his plan, Ivanovich and Prato's troops were responsible for breaking through the French positions, while he and Minoradovic's troops were responsible for the security of the two wings. However, as soon as the army was dispatched to deal with the French attack, Ivanovich received a second report, claiming that he was hit by the superior force of the French army and needed support. Kutuzov was no fool, and he immediately understood that Ivanovich had lied about the military. The other two legions of the French army were attacking him and Minoradovic. How could there be a superior force to attack them?
