Chapter 81： Battle of venice

The war is about money and food. The national strength of the kingdom of Sardinia cannot be sustained for a long time. John Niu's loan is not easy to take. It is almost impossible for the state of the kingdom of Isard to borrow again.

Now that the Hungarian Republic is at stake, if the Austrian Civil War is over and the Venice War is not over, you will know the consequences if you think about it.

...

On the front lines of Venice, the army headquarters of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Bardolio is pointing with turbulence, not commanding the army.

Regardless of the fighting effectiveness of the two sides, let alone, at least in terms of the number of troops, the Kingdom of Sardinia has the absolute advantage.

The total strength that Austria can put into the battlefield of Venice is less than 100,000, and Bardario has 200,000 troops. Even if the Lombard rebellion restrained some troops, there are still 160,000.

"Marshal, there is news in the country that the Vienna government sent 50,000 reinforcements to the Venice area and ordered us to capture Venice before the enemy reinforcements arrived!"

The words of the intelligence staff scared Bardolio a half-dead and hurriedly asked: "When will the enemy's reinforcements arrive in Venice?"

"The Vienna government has drawn 50,000 troops from the Austrian Legion and is coming from Kaupp, no later than half a month, and at the earliest ten days."

Hearing the news, Bardolio put his gaze on the map and looked carefully.

The launch of the Venice offensive originally meant forcing the Austrian army to come back to help reduce the pressure on the Hungarian Republic.

But this is based on the premise that the Kingdom of Sardinia conquered Venice, and the two sides are still fighting. At this time, if Austria has 50,000 more troops, he still farts?

If the Hungarian Republic is saved, then nothing can be done on the battlefield of Venice, which is also strategically feasible.

Bardario is not optimistic about the Republic of Hungary. Even if Austria has 50,000 troops missing, it still cannot change the outcome of the war.

Without hesitation, Bardolio decisively ordered: "Our time is running out, order the troops, be prepared, start at 9:30 tomorrow morning!

General Messer, you lead the 2nd and 8th Divisions. Be sure to capture Trento within 3 days, then intersect behind the enemy and cut off the enemy's rear path.

General Facki ... "

The Austrian Army Command, Marshal Radkis also received news of reinforcements, earlier than the Italians.

The Hungarian battlefield progressed too smoothly. The Bohemian Army had spent the Danube to surround Budapest. The Croatian Army was less than one hundred kilometers from Budapest.

At this time, the importance of the Austrian Legion had declined. Without so many troops, Franz naturally chose to reinforce the battlefield in Venice.

Marshal Radkis's hanging heart has fallen. If there is no reinforcement, relying on the strength of his hands to fight the enemy, even if he can win, he will not be able to expand the results.

"Marshal, do we need to change our military deployment and wait for the enemy to arrive before decisive against the enemy?" General Victor suggested

Marshal Radkis shook his head and said, "No need, now the frontline troops are expected to have exchanged fire. It is too late to change the military deployment.

I have ordered the reinforcements to abandon the heavy supplies and speed up the march. Under normal circumstances, they can keep up with the war. "

There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Sardinia had made a mistake, and they did not expect that Austria's reinforcements would be lightly deployed.

This is the advantage of local operations. When necessary, you can march with only light weapons, food can be provided by local governments along the way, and ammunition can be replenished in Venice.

The turning point in the Osa War has emerged, and it is now focused on time.

If Bardolio is able to defeat the Austrian army before the arrival of Austrian reinforcements, the Kingdom of Sardinia will temporarily gain a military advantage, and the war will likely end decently.

Conversely, if Marshal Radkis of the Austrian army wins, then the Kingdom of Sardinia will be preparing for a homeland defense.

On May 9, 1848, the Battle of Venice broke out. The first bad luck was the fastest Tuscan army.

Well, Leopold II, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, was also cultivated by Austria. He did not want to fight against Austria at all.

Leopold II's ability to conspiracy was still qualified. At least he did a good job of killing with a knife. For example, this time he flew nationalists into the expeditionary force.

Not everyone is self-aware. For example, the Tuscan nationalist leader, Mr. Maherd, considered himself to be a god, and took over the position of head coach, preparing to rely on this war for political capital.

"Master, is the fish coming online so soon, will there be any problems?" Chief of Staff Fislav asked uncertainly.

"Is there a problem? According to intelligence, this enemy is acting alone, and the other enemy forces closest to them are also thirty kilometers away.

When their reinforcements arrived, the fighting was long over. Can these 5,000 enemies be able to prevent our sixth division from failing for a day? "The sixth division commander Morks analyzed

"But the enemy's performance is too stupid. Even so little one dares to go alone, do they think they are Napoleon?" Chief of Staff Feslav said with a frown.

"Whatever it is, our task is to destroy this adversary, anyway, no matter what the enemy's plot is, we will eat the bait first.

The enemies this time came from four states, and their internal contradictions were very heavy. Perhaps this Tuscan army was sold! Morks guessed

After thinking about it, Fislav didn't find the problem, so he said, "Okay, let's talk first, but send more spies, be careful that the enemy has reinforcements!"

Time passed every minute, and with the order of Morx, the sound of guns crackling, the battle of Venice started.

Sudden enemy attacks suffocated the Tuscan army while it was marching.

Maherd is an excellent speaker and may be an excellent writer, but he is definitely not a military strategist.

Maherde looked down on the decaying Tuscan noble officer, who was personally appointed by this expeditionary officer, most of whom were patriotic youth.

Everyone was very bloody, dissatisfied with their teammates' marching speed, all of them ran a little faster, and accidentally ran to the front.

Thanks to the usual propaganda, in their minds the Austrian Empire was decaying, the army was vulnerable, and the Sardinian kingdom's bloodless occupation of Lombardy made them believe this.

So after encountering the enemy, their first reaction was not panic, but surprise, and then they did not hesitate to order a counterattack.
