Kleisky had previously commanded the army and fought against the French army, and Nikolay also believed that he failed last time because Kutuzov concealed the French army's strong firepower, and Kleisky was still a little bit He was really talented, so Nicholas asked Kleinsky to direct the attack.

After being appointed by Nikolai, Kleinsky was very excited and lamented that he followed the right master. If he still followed Kutuzov, it would be impossible to get such a chance to be reused. At the same time, he was completely determined to follow Nicholas in his heart, and he was also very confident about this attack, completely treating himself as a Maxima, and Nicholas was Bole.

There were two cavalry divisions and three infantry divisions participating in this attack. Kleinski and the other division commanders were all at the same level. It was completely out of reach for a small major general like him to command such a large force. , but with the support of Nicholas, others dare not say anything.

"General Kleinski, can you tell us your attack plan?" A cavalry division commander who participated in the attack asked respectfully.

Seeing the general who was as senior as him treat him with such respect, Kleinski felt extremely comfortable. Rights are indeed a good thing! Clay sighed. At the same time, he also understood that Grand Duke Nicholas brought him everything today. In order to enjoy this powerful feeling for a long time, he decided to hug Nicholas' thick legs.

"The firepower of the French is very strong. If we fight head-on with them, we will suffer a loss." The last encounter is still vivid in my memory. My 10,000 strong Cossack cavalry were all dead in less than two hours. Thinking of it, he was still a little timid.

Several other people also knew the ferocious firepower of the French army, and agreed with Kleiski's point of view.

"I don't know, general, do you think of a solution?" Another infantry division commander asked.

"Of course." Kleinsky said proudly: "Although the firepower of the French army is very strong, their defense line is not impenetrable. This has been proved in the attack two days ago. Our brave Soldiers broke into their lines several times, of course, in the end they failed for some reason. It was all Kutuzov's fault, now under the leadership of Grand Duke Nicholas, we will definitely eliminate those damned French of."

Regarding Kleiski's belittling of Kutuzov and blaming him for the failure of the attack, the general of the organization actually despises him in his heart, but he has to agree with him for the sake of his future official position. As if the previous failures were all caused by Kutuzov, but now that Kutuzov is dismissed, victory will fall into their hands with a light touch like a ripe peach.

"After analyzing the battlefield, I found out a very important weakness of the French army. The defense line built by the French army is composed of the 88th Army, the Guards Army and the 5th Army. Before that, Kutuzov had been Misleading us that the 88th Army was not vulnerable at all, so that we put all our strength into the attack on the 88th Army, and caused heavy losses to our Cossack warriors. Now I understand that all this is Kutuzov's Conspiracy, he must have conspired with the French, that damned traitor, who has betrayed the interests of great Russia and deprived us of so many of our best soldiers. His Majesty the Great Tsar should hang him." And so, K Lesky had fabricated a charge against Kutuzov.

Kleski decisively assigned the task of attacking. A Cossack cavalry division and two infantry divisions were responsible for containing the 88th Army from the front, while the remaining cavalry division and an infantry division were responsible for attacking the 88th Army and the Guards Army. of the junction. Because they have been detected, the section of the riverbed at the junction of the 88th Army and the Guards is higher, and the deepest part is only about one meter, which is very suitable for infantry wading attacks. Another most important reason is that they learned that the current Guards Corps is a Guards Corps after suffering heavy losses. I don't know that two divisions of the 5th Army were transferred to use as a reserve team), of course the persimmons were picked softly, so Kleski set his target on the Guards.

At 10 a.m., under Kreski's order, the offensive began. First of all, the artillery arrived with the infantry and started shelling. Before the Cossack cavalry had to maintain a high degree of mobility, they were not equipped with artillery, so that they had no artillery support in the battle against the French army. Although Kles now understands that the artillery of the Russian army cannot be compared with that of the French army, it is better than nothing.

The Russian army didn't have many cannons, and Nikolai's 250,000-strong army was only equipped with 600 cannons in total, but now there were a total of 200 cannons in the running position behind Kleiski. It can be seen that Nicholas attaches great importance to this attack.

The shells of the Russian army kept falling on the first line of defense of the French army, blowing up clouds of dust, and occasionally there would be more violent explosions. Kleski saw through the binoculars that the French army's position was quiet, as if there was no one there, and the whole battlefield was emanating a strange feeling. He guessed right. Except for a few observers, the entire first line of defense withdrew to the second line of defense as early as last night. The defense line was also covered with landmines, and occasionally landmines were hit by Russian artillery shells and caused explosions, producing violent explosions. Some Russian troops thought that the quality of their shells had improved.

Seeing that many landmines on the first line of defense were detonated, Xiao Jie felt a little distressed, and said bitterly: "Why didn't you think of their artillery? This is a good one, and it will be cheaper for them."

Since the Russian army did not have a lot of artillery reserves, they stopped shelling after 20 minutes. Under the order of Kleiski, the cavalry and infantry launched an attack on the French defense line. The weather in November is already a bit cold, and the water is even colder. The cavalry is better, there are not many places where they get wet when they ride on the horse, but the infantry is miserable. Almost the parts below the chest were completely wet, and his face was black and blue with a cold face, and his teeth chattered.

While the Russians were crossing the river, the French bombardment also began. However, since the artillery regiment had already withdrawn to the third line of defense, and because of the range problem, only the heavy artillery battalion was shelled.

Klesky also discovered the problem. Last time when his troops attacked, the French army's shells were overwhelming. Why is it like this now? Although the power of the unfired shells is great, but it looks like the shelling There are no more than 10 cannons.

With almost no casualties, the Russian army rushed to the French position, but the strange thing was that there was no one in the position. "Those nasty Frenchmen must have been scared away by the great Russian army." Not all Russian soldiers thought so. Only a few Cossack cavalry who survived the previous battles felt very strange. They were very aware of the terrifying firepower of the French army, and it was even more impossible for them to be scared away. Suddenly, someone accidentally stepped on a landmine, and with a bang, the unlucky ghost and the people around him were blown to pieces.

The French army planted more than 2,000 mines on this line of defense. Although most of them were detonated by the shelling of the Russian army, there are still many left. People stepped on landmines one after another, creating a panic among the Russian army. In the end, the Russian army only dared to hide in a few areas that had been proven to be free of landmines. In this way, it happened to provide the heavy artillery battalion with a target. When a shell went down, at least dozens of lives were taken away, and the Russian soldiers were crying.

"Your Excellency, we have completely occupied the enemy's line of defense, but we found that it is only the enemy's first line of defense, and there are two more behind it." A staff officer reported to Kleiski.

"Occupied?" Kleinski couldn't believe it. The line of defense where tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry had failed before was captured so easily. Although I heard that there are still two lines of defense behind, the high-spirited Kleiski no longer cared so much at this time, and ordered: "Send a letter to the Grand Duke immediately, saying that we have broken through the enemy's first line of defense and occupied Frankfurt." It is just around the corner. In addition, order the troops to continue the offensive until Frankfurt is captured."

But the good luck of the Russian army ends here. Next, they will be greeted by mines, artillery shells and ruthless bullets.

The Russian army attacking the 88th Army had good results at the beginning, and they occupied the first line of defense of the French army without much effort, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com can attack the two divisions of the Guards Corps to the iron plate. Dawu saw Xiao Jie's 88th Legion keep getting rich results, and he couldn't hold back for a long time, but for many days in a row, no one attacked his defense line, which made him very depressed. Now that someone has finally delivered it to the door, of course he will not be polite.

Although Xiao Jie supported them with a batch of heavy machine guns and mortars in order to improve their combat effectiveness, after all, they were the only legion that suffered heavy losses. After the enthusiasm cooled down, facing the attack of the Russian army's superior force, they gradually couldn't hold on. By noon, the defense line of the Guards Corps had been breached twice, but in the end the soldiers of the Guards Corps stubbornly drove the Russian army out. The reserve troops of the Rhine Army of the 6 regiments have also filled in two, but the defense line is still crumbling. As a last resort, I had to lower my face and ask Xiao Jie for support.

After Xiao Jie learned about the situation, he immediately dispatched one of the two divisions of the 5th Corps as a reserve, and asked Davout to immediately retreat to the second line as soon as he realized that he could not hold the first line of defense. line of defense. Xiao Jie also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Guards Corps was far from being comparable to that of the 88th Corps, so he didn't force too much. But fortunately, after reinforcements from a division were dispatched, the Guards finally stabilized the line of defense, and the Russian army seemed to have exhausted their edge and had to stop their attack.
