By the next morning, the supplies had arrived, but the artillery had not yet arrived.

Fortunately, Vasa had the foresight to come and decided to attack at night.

But in reality, he was only afraid that he was too tired to effectively control the troops and launch an attack.

Anyway, it's all about fighting, it's the same in the morning and in the evening, as long as the strength of the opposite side doesn't change.

So the Austrians just sat and waited until night. During this period, some people felt bored and wanted to go out to make some noise, but without exception, they became honest after being kicked by the deputy head of the regiment.

The deputy commander was named Senwal, who was the chief officer of the 27th Infantry Division; In other words, he was once Kuster's subordinate, so being sent here at this moment was undoubtedly Kuster's handiwork.

Soon into the night, Vasa woke up and commanded the troops to deploy artillery in suitable positions and distribute supplies reasonably.

In order not to wake up the Russians, he decided to launch a small offensive in the place where he had scouted yesterday, trying to open the enemy's lines.

After the gap in the enemy's front is opened, the rest of the infantry regiment will all pour in and establish a temporary stronghold.

But because there was not much information, Vasalai did not know what was going on inside Russia, so he could not prepare a more perfect plan, so he could only take it step by step and work steadily.

While the Russian outpost was preparing for the changing of the guard, the Austrians also began to move. They approached the hillside, threw their grappling hooks up, and climbed one by one.

After going up two infantry companies, Vasa came to stop the soldiers who were still climbing, and followed him to prepare to rush out and join up with friendly forces after the Russian line was breached.

He took the main force of the infantry regiment and waited in place outside the high ground.

Soon, a succession of gunshots alarmed the vultures on the high ground and also woke up the sleeping Russians.

Vasa scolded secretly, but he didn't care so much, and hurriedly led his men to attack the outpost.

Fortunately, the Russian troops in the outpost did not react, and soon surrendered after being flanked from both sides, and the Austrians also took advantage of this to gain a position on the high ground.

Vasarai ordered his troops to quickly construct fortifications, using and repairing the barbed wire, horse rejects, and trenches previously used by the Russians.

But before the Austrians could carry and arrange these things, the angry Russians came.

Their officers took the lead, brandishing their sabers and rushing into the position, but without exception they were nailed to sandbags by the Austrians.

Immediately after these brave officers, those Russian soldiers were also elite, and they rushed in with bayonets without fear of life and death.

The Austrians were not prepared and were taken by surprise, but they were also elite, how could they be afraid of these barbaric Russians?

With the courage of the soldiers and the sophistication of their weapons, they dared to fight the Russians head-on with bayonets, and some of them fired with submachine guns.

After more than 100 casualties on both sides, the remnants of the Russians wanted to continue fighting, but their commanders demanded that they retreat and regroup before attacking. The first firefight ended dramatically.

The Austrians hurriedly took advantage of the gap to build fortifications, and at the same time pulled up all the supplies in the rear to prepare for a long battle.

Soon, the Russian army launched a second counterattack.

Unlike the last time, which relied solely on the bravery of the soldiers, this attack was quite methodical, as they were able to alternate leaps under each other's cover, and could fire several shells at any given moment. Of course, after only seven shells, the Austrian positions were never bombed again.

After the Austrians were knocked out more than thirty people, they also began to counterattack:

They quickly set up their machine guns and cooperated with the infantry to suppress the charging Russians. After the bullets fired from the machine guns were like rippers, tearing many people, the Russian troops hurriedly lay down and hid in the gap to try to kill the Austrian machine gunners.

But the Austrian machine guns were like a raging storm, so that the Russians did not dare to show their heads, so they could only hide in relatively safe places.

But the Austrians' mortars gave them nowhere to run, and they would be blown up wherever they went.

Machine guns and artillery are a perfect match! The two of them are like disabled brothers, and they may be a little missing when pulled out alone; But when the machine gun pins down the infantry, and then the artillery carries out the accurate bombardment, it will definitely have good results.

Obviously, the Russians do not know this set of Kuster's personal tactics, and they do not have that foundation to use.

With the suppression of machine guns, they can only be beaten and bombed passively, and hardly dare to fight back, the brave officers have long since died, and the rest have run away.

But without the control of the officers, these Russian elites did not dare to retreat privately, for fear of being shot on the spot.

It wasn't until twelve minutes later that a group of reinforcements arrived from the rear, and they were very angry when they saw the dead body of their brother crushed under the building, but to no avail: there was a rain of bullets in front of them, and they did not dare to rush forward.

The officers who came to support hurriedly ordered the Russian troops who were trapped in the fire network to withdraw quickly, but only those who were still safe in the dead corners of the building were evacuated, and the rest of the people who were exposed to the battlefield could not be withdrawn because they were suppressed.

At this time, although they heard the order like a gospel, those Russian troops could only lie on the muddy and dirty ground, waiting for the shells to fall from the sky to end their suffering.

Finally, some Russians could not withstand the tremendous pressure and collapsed. They roared at themselves, then stood up on the bullet-flying battlefield and rushed towards the Austrian positions.

As soon as they climbed out, these brave Russians were shot all over their bodies and finally collapsed in relief.

There is no doubt that they were extremely reckless, but this move also pointed the way forward for other Russians.

The remaining Russians took advantage of the darkness and corpses to crawl back along the sparse areas of fire, risking their lives.

In the end, about 67 Russian soldiers survived the pile of dead, leaving behind corpses strewn across the field.

When the Russians were no longer visible on the battlefield, Senvar sent men to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties on both sides.

Austria originally had 1,500 men, but due to two battles and various accidents, a total of 346 people were killed and wounded; Based on the number of corpses on the battlefield, at least more than 900 Russians died, and the casualties were even more numerous.

There are also some people who are so dead that they don't even have scum left that they can't investigate, so they can only be judged as 'missing'.

At present, there are still more than 1,100 Austrian troops; The Russian army should be no more than 3,000 people.

If this ratio of battle losses is followed, then sooner or later it will be Vasa who will win.

But he didn't want to be as negligent as he had been before, resulting in a large number of soldiers dying in vain, so he could only be as careful as possible while attacking the city.

But this is useless, there will always be people who die due to all kinds of bizarre events, let alone the battlefield?

If you want to keep your soldiers from dying as much as possible, you can only let the enemy soldiers die more and end the battle quickly.
