Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 458: Countermeasures (in)

The Austrian political situation is very treacherous, and Wendy Schgretz's troops are blindly attacking, and they want to bloodbath Vienna. The main nobles in Vienna were puzzled at this, because no one wanted to see the **** scene of corpses all over the field, and no one wanted their home to become a Shura field.

Quite a few enlightened aristocrats felt that the Revolutionary Party actually did not say that they would die to the end. They were also willing to negotiate. Why not solve the problem in a more peaceful way?

To take a step back, even if you Wendy Schgretz and the Revolutionaries are like a sea of ​​hatred, you must pay for it, you can't do it recklessly! It is perfectly possible to communicate with Russian allies and wait for Paskovic's army to work together to solve the problem!

Quite a few nobles believe that the army under control of Wendy Schgretz is the only maneuver and effective force that Austria can handle. If this army loses too much in countering the rebellion, how can it deter those uneasy and kind Xiaoxiao around it? ?

"Even if he doesn't wait for the Russians, he should wait for Josip Jelacic!"

Yes, for the Austrian nobles, the only military power that Austria can count on now is the Croatian Jelačić, besides its own Wendyschgretz. To this Croatian who does not cooperate with the Hungarians The governor, the Austrian nobles still have good feelings and respect, and felt that if Wendy Schgretz waited for Jeracic's troops to arrive in Vienna and start working together, the odds of winning should be even greater.

Objectively speaking, this is indeed the case. Although Jeracic’s troops are not as large as Wendishgretz, with only four to fifty thousand people, they have rich experience in combat with the Hungarian insurgents, and they have not suffered much before the Hungarians.

But what a proud man Wendy Schgritz is! How can he be considered a Croatian **** as an Austrian nobleman? He even thought that if the Croatian **** helped solve the rebellion in Vienna, it would be a shame to Austria.

On the other hand, Wendy Schgritz also wants to take the big credit for this day. Anyway, the rebels in Vienna are just a mob in his eyes, that is, more people, familiar terrain, and troublesome street fighting, but Can these stop him?

With these thoughts in mind, Wendy Schgretz could not wait for the arrival of Jeracic’s reinforcements. The battle started smoothly. In the periphery of Vienna, the insurgents were not opponents of the regular army and were soon forced to Shrink to the city center.

This naturally made Wendy Schgretz's confidence greatly increased, and he couldn't wait to invest all the main force, and even pressured part of the reserve team, which meant a quick battle.

Only when the battle turned into a tragic street fighting, the situation was completely different. The dense buildings and barricades provided good protection for the insurgents, and the power of Wendy Schgritz's street-sweeping weapon and cannon was greatly reduced. There is no scene where grape bombs swept across a large area.

The grape bombs, which are very advantageous for dealing with dense formations, are really mediocre when they encounter strong houses and barricades. After switching to solid bombs, although they can destroy some buildings, the efficiency is too low. Every hundreds of shells can be used. Plowing clean a building, and advancing at this speed, Wendy Schgretz will not be able to recover the capital in six months.

In desperation, Wendy Schgretz could only push up his own viable power and put a large number of infantrymen to sweep the rebels from street to street. But you know, there is no firepower advantage, and the insurgents have a terrain advantage, which directly caused Wendy Schgretz's casualties to rise.

In just one week, thousands of people were lost, and progress was meager, and there was no longer the spirit of going straight ahead.

"Wendish Gretz is going to have a headache!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov put down his binoculars. Just now, the Austrians' new round of assault came to an end. The insurgents relied on solid barricades to beat the Austrians crying and crying and fled in embarrassment.

In this regard, Duke Alexander Gorchakov was a little comfortable and relaxed, because the situation was indeed very unfavorable for him when Wendyschgritz’s peripheral progress was smooth. Once the Austrians succeed in a quick counter-insurgency, he will inevitably suffer from Nirvana. Sher Rodie's offense is a bit difficult to explain.

But now, looking at the Austrian bear-like appearance, he can shrug his shoulders and read the jokes with joy. He wants to know if Wendy Schgritz is still so arrogant at this time.

Wendy Schgritz’s condition is indeed very bad. The buttons of the military uniform are wide open, the shirts are all smudged, and his face is also unshaven, as if he hasn't shaved for a while, and his eyes are bloodshot. His brows frowned, and he looked exhausted.

Schwarzenberg asked in a low voice, "Not so good?"

Wendy Schgretz wanted to say that everything is under control~www.ltnovel.com~ But after taking a look at my elder brother, he swallowed the words again. There is no need to engage in falsehoods with him. The current situation is indeed not. Wonderful.

After a while, Wendy Schgretz beat the table and replied sullly: "These **** bugs, don’t dare to fight head-on like a man, but hide in a hole like a mouse and keep getting in. Get out of the soldiers who are harassing me! Let them annoy them!"

This is a new scene that Wendy Schgritz has not encountered before, because when the Prague rebellion was put down, because the incident happened suddenly, and he immediately withdrew his troops outside the city, and then concentrated the superior force and firepower to push back. There was not much time left for the insurgents to build fortifications.

Therefore, in Prague, he did not encounter this kind of street fighting that needed to be cleaned up street by street, and he did not encounter particularly strong fortifications and barricades, which was able to proceed smoothly. The situation in Vienna was completely different. The insurgents were more fully prepared, built a large number of barricades and fortifications, and used the advantages of familiar terrain to constantly deal with him, which made him a little tired.

This kind of combat mode is actually a headache even if it takes another 100 years. The famous Battle of Stalingrad and Berlin in World War II, even with superior firepower, encountered this kind of street fighting and suffered heavy casualties. Not to mention the era of poorer firepower in 1848.

"What are you going to do? Do you want the troops to take a break first!"

Wendy Schgritz immediately refused: "Never stop! My lads are exhausted and the casualties are high, but the rebels are even more exhausted and the casualties are greater. As long as you put more pressure on them, they will soon It's over!"

With that said, Wendy Schgretz beat the table fiercely again, and then resolutely threw all the reserve teams in. He believed that this would be the last straw to crush the camel!
