The Battle of the Berezina.
Screen 50.
Screen 51.
II Corps Sector. 10.45am.
Marshal Oudinot's extreme left is starting to buckle with one formation routing. The 7th Prussian foot battery suffered a melee assault by a battalion of the 3rd Russian Dnieper regiment and by sheer providence held them. A slight incline and thick thorn bushes with the turning of 2 guns put the fear of god into the mostly raw enemy recruits, who had to back off. French artillery continue to disorder Russian attacks.
The position before the Zawinki redoubt is stable. The centre of Oudinot's line and the southern hinge see endless fire-fights. The enemy stubbornly stand and take higher casualties, hoping that French morale will break.
