Two hundred and thirty-one. Trappers

Udine became a pain in the heart of Major General Laurent.

Here, he lost too many troops, and the defensive network organized by the opponent with dense fire showed no signs of being torn apart.

The feint turned into a real fight.

With each attack, the 92nd Infantry Division was left with corpses; Every time he attacked, Aura felt a burst of distress.

It seems that the enemy is not affected by the rapid consumption of bullets in the slightest, and they are always desperately firing bullets and shells in every battle.

All have to "thank" those Italians. Without their "assistance", the Germans would not have been so brazen in their strafing.

The air was filled with the smell of blood all the time, and now everyone was used to it.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and even though the fire was strong and ferocious, it was inevitable for the Germans to be killed or wounded.

Some people fall and can never get up, and they have done their best for their profession, which is only a profession, without any noble ideals, without any lofty goals, and it is exactly the same as the profession of a worker, a doctor, a seafarer, and so on.

Someone was wounded, they lost their legs or hands, and after many years of being able to jump nimble on the battlefield, they would never want to recall this war, which was the deepest and deepest pain hidden in their hearts

The skull battle flag fluttered in the wind, deeply stabbing the heart of every British. From the first shot of the battle to the present. This battle flag inspired countless Germans, but mocked countless British.

As long as this battle flag remains, the skeleton commandos will remain!

When another attack was repulsed. Laurent no longer thinks he can capture Udine, and the only thing he is thankful for is that the 93rd Infantry Division should have cut off the German retreat

As long as you can defeat the Skeleton Baron, it will be worth it even if you pay a few divisions

"General, the British 93rd Infantry Division has entered the attack range we have set!"

"Good!" Feng. When General Bellow heard this, he suddenly stood up: "Ernst's plan has succeeded, and he knows that the enemy will definitely try to defeat him in Udine, and the British will definitely attack from the rear!" He used himself as bait. Dead dragged the British, and now, it's our turn! I command. All the attacking troops, at 3 p.m., launched a general attack and annihilated the British 93rd Infantry Division! ”

"Yes, General Colonel Ernst is really bold. He actually thought of this solution, God. The enemy would never have imagined that while he was retreating, he would attack again."

Feng. General Bello said lightly: "Even our own people think so, after more than a month of fighting, we are already very tired, the ammunition is almost exhausted, and now retreat has become the only thing we have to do." The British were unprepared for a sudden attack, and their end had come to kill them. It will make the British and the French stop their pursuit, and taste the defeat in Italy."

"Colonel Ernst is only afraid that in Udine he will fight very hard."

"Yes. But he was able to get the job done. "Feng. General Bello smiled slightly: "Don't forget, he is a skeleton baron who will never be defeated!" ”

Yes, Ernst. Bramm, the Skeleton Baron who will never be defeated!

Now, at the time of the great retreat of the German-Austrian forces, no one would have imagined that a war of annihilation of British infantry divisions had begun

Fourth day of the Battle of Udine.

Both sides were exhausted, the attackers had no strength to attack again, and the defenders were exhausted to the extreme.

For four days, the fighting did not stop at all, and both sides gritted their teeth and fought the small battlefield. Every minute and every second is a desperate struggle.

Blood is about to run out

Major General Laurent waited bitterly for General Trenway's 93rd Infantry Division to attack in the rear of Udine.

But half a day had passed since the appointed time, and there was no movement in the rear of Udine.

Where is General Trenway?

In the distance, there was no movement at all

The overwhelming sound of guns and shouts rang out everywhere, and countless German troops launched the largest attack.

The 93rd Infantry Division is completely trapped!

The Germans and Austrians threw all the shells at the enemy without mercy, watching the shells explode among the British, and then flooding up from all directions!

The British 93rd Infantry Division is completely trapped!

This was a result that the British could not have imagined at all. They were supposed to attack Udine and completely surround the skeleton commandos, but now they are surrounded!

How did the Germans find out about them?

Major General Trenway would never have imagined that from the very beginning Ernst. Bram had already thought that the British would use this trick. The enemy's large intelligence squad provided him with the most valuable information.

Count as you go!

Even if you retreat in Caporetto, make the retreat more valuable

Annihilate the British 93rd Infantry Division! Beat the 92nd Infantry Division of the British Army!

Feng. General Bello was also very surprised when he heard this plan for the first time, no one could have imagined that the retreating army would turn around and strike!

But when he finished listening to Ernst. After all of Bramm's plans, and seeing Baron Alexson's unwavering confidence, von Brown. General Bello fully supported this plan.

A large net rounding up the 93rd Infantry Division was opened

General Trenwei and his men, faced with an enemy several times their size, had no way to break through. And they raided, carrying all light weapons, under the frantic artillery fire of the German-Austrian army, the casualties were so heavy that it was impossible to count.

Isn't it a great irony that a predator becomes a prey?

On December 29, 1917, the British 93rd Infantry Division was besieged.

The German-Austrian forces launched a surprise attack at 3 p.m., routed the British on all fronts at 5 p.m., and forced General Trenway and his remnants to retreat into a very small area.

Surrender became the only choice that General Trenway could make

At 7 o'clock, after a round of negotiations, General Trenway announced that he had laid down his arms and surrendered to the Germans.

At this point, the siege and annihilation lasted only four hours, and the British 93rd Infantry Division was completely annihilated, and Major General Trenway himself became a prisoner!

Ernst. Bramm's plan was a great success! His war history has been written with a strong stroke, and the war history of the German army has also been written with a strong stroke!

Feng. General Bellow quickly transferred a German division and made a rapid movement in the direction of Udine to support Baron Alexon's counterattack against the British 92nd Infantry Division there.

The Germans, now the real predators!

On the night of December 30, 1917, the German division on rapid march reached Udine. And the commander of the division brought a von. The order given by General Belo himself:

Udine will be all German troops only, and will be all by Ernst. Colonel Bream commanded!

Again, this is an unreasonable decision.

However, this is something that the Germans are used to.

On December 31, Ernst. Colonel Bream gave the order to fight back!

Tank artillery and mortars spewed out counter-attack fire at 6 a.m. on this day. There was only one order from Colonel Braim:

Shoot the last cannonball!

The earth-shattering cannon fire threw the British and Italians into a mess, and the Italians, as always, showed their essence:

Run away!

The Italians were much more determined to flee than they were to fight! By the time the artillery was at its highest, the vast majority of the Italian army had already collapsed.

The British officers, the French officers, no matter how hard they tried to reprimand, could not gather these scattered Italians.

Generals Laurent and Bivorge were completely unaware of what was happening in the road, and the German counter-fire was a bit too unexpected.

In the previous day's attack, the British had already run out of shells, they were waiting for supplies from the rear, but instead of waiting for supplies, they were greeted with shells from the Germans!

Does that count as a huge irony?

When the artillery was ready, a large number of German soldiers jumped out of the trenches and launched the most ferocious counterattack against the British.

And in the middle of these German soldiers, a huge military flag fluttered:

- Skeleton Banner!

The battle flag, which has always been flying high in Udine, is now sending a message on the battlefield strongly:

Fight back, here we go!

Attack, attack, attack!

General Laurent didn't really care much at first, believing that it was just an attempt by the Germans to buy them some time with a limited counterattack while they were struggling to defend.

But as the battle continued, General Laurent discovered something wrong: there were too many Germans involved in the counterattack!

As far as the eye can see, there are those German soldiers everywhere, densely packed, and there is no end in sight at a glance.

Where did so many Germans come from? The frightened General Laurent could not figure it out at all.

It is not to blame the British for being careless, a whole division of German troops arrived at a loss, but the fighting in the past few days has exhausted the British army, which has always maintained an offensive posture, and once the battle is over, what they need most is rest.

The reconnaissance mission was completely neglected, and the British had no idea that a large number of German troops had been reinforced to the battlefield.

Now, Ernst. Brahm was about to tell Laurent:

Who is the real predator! (To be continued.) )
