9 April 1813 - Southern Germany - Day 10


The Austrian supply system is now fully operational


In the north 1st Austrian army advance within attack distance of Falkenberg

In the centre 2nd Austrian army attack Marktl

In the south 3rd Austrian army retreat having failed to take Burghausen

 

The second battle of Marktl was a short but very brutal one.   Both armies were weakened by previous battle casualties.   Aware that he needed a quick victory, Merveldt ordered 1st army to attack without the usual artillery barrage.   He suffered heavy casualties, but he won the battle
