The fight for the "Kuppe K" sent on January 05, 2021 (1:36) by Lorisb. 60 comments, 1065 views.

, 1/320 f/7.1, ISO 100, hand held. Monte Piana, Italy.

La lotta per la "Kuppe K" Fin dai tempi dell'azione di avvolgimento, gli austriaci avevano occupato un posto sull'angolo nord-est del Fosso Alpino dal quale bersagliare le Forcellette e lo avevano battezzato Kuppe K ("Punto K"). Temendo un'avanzata italiana sul pianoro settentrionale, gli austriaci compirono un massiccio attacco contro gli italiani, da estendersi anche alla Forcella dei Castrati al fine di distruggere completamente l'impianto offensivo italiano. L'attacco doveva essere condotto sfruttando il fattore sorpresa, per cui viene programmato senza supporto dell'artiglieria e con il favore delle tenebre. Le truppe penetrarono nelle trincee italiane che erano vuote, le distrussero e ritornarono indisturbate nelle posizioni di partenza. Ai primi di agosto il comando austriaco ritiene però indispensabile il possesso della Forcella dei Castrati e della Kuppe K, viene quindi ordinato un nuovo attacco che ha successo. Si susseguono attacchi e contrattacchi, il 23 agosto un reparto della Brigata Umbria conquista la Kuppe K, ma due giorni dopo si registra un nuovo tentativo austriaco si conclude con la morte di 47 attaccanti su 51. La riconquista avviene ad opera di un contingente di altri 60 Kaiserschützen ("bersaglieri regionali") erano un corpo militare a reclutamento di leva appartenente alla k.k. Landwehr, l'esercito nazionale austriaco. I rinforzi austriaci non tardarono e permisero di trincerarsi in modo migliore, ma gli italiani non stettero a guardare, scavarono una galleria tra le vicine trincee e la Kuppe K, e di sorpresa, di notte, dopo un pesante bombardamento, un plotone italiano di Arditi riuscì a riprendere la posizione catturando l'intero presidio nemico. Nel primo commento troverete altre tre mie immagini che rappresentano la zona contesa con i numeri di riferimento che ho assegnato alle cartine di Monte Piana che ho scaricato per fare capire come era dislocata la zona del conflitto, la fotografia di repertorio con i baraccamenti la potete posizionare nel costone al centro dell'immagine principale in b.n.
