Marwitz Breaks Off Engagement: Belgian Victory with Little Strategic Effect
- Towards the end of the day, Marwitz broke off the engagement. The battle between the Belgian and German cavalry divisions resulted in a Belgian victory, with the Germans suffering significant casualties. However, the battle had little strategic effect as the German armies were able to capture the fortified regions of Namur, Liège, and Antwerp.
- During the battle, De Witte, the Belgian commander, successfully repulsed German cavalry attacks by utilizing dismounted cavalry and massed rifle fire. The German cavalry, although able to establish a front parallel with Liège and discover the positions of the Belgian field army, failed to penetrate the Belgian front line or uncover Belgian dispositions beyond.
- Despite the Belgian victory, the outcome did not alter the overall strategic situation. The German armies continued to besiege and capture key fortified regions, including Namur, Liège, and Antwerp, which were crucial to Belgian strategy.

以下のとおりお答えします。 ドイツ軍とベルギー軍の間の戦い(その2)を述べています。 >Towards the end of the day Marwitz broke off the engagement; the 2nd Cavalry Division retired towards Hasselt and the 4th Cavalry Division withdrew to Alken. De Witte had repulsed the German cavalry attacks by ordering the cavalry, which included a company of cyclists and one of pioneers to fight dismounted and meet the attack with massed rifle fire, which inflicted significant casualties upon the Germans. ⇒その日の終わりごろに、マールヴィッツは会戦を打ち切った。第2騎兵師団はハセルト方面に退脚し、第4騎兵師団はアルケンに引っ込んだ。デ・ヴィッテは、騎兵隊を呼んでドイツの騎兵攻撃を追い返したが、その騎兵隊には自転車中隊や下馬して戦う工兵の1個中隊が含まれていた。そして、ライフル集中砲火の対抗戦となって、ドイツ軍に多数の死傷者数を与えた。 >The German cavalry had managed to obscure the operations on the German right flank and established a front parallel with Liège and discovered the positions of the Belgian field army but had not been able to penetrate beyond the Belgian front line and discover Belgian dispositions beyond. Although a Belgian victory, the battle had little strategic effect: the German armies besieged and captured the fortified regions of Namur, Liège and Antwerp, on which Belgian strategy depended. ⇒ドイツ騎兵隊はどうにかしてドイツ軍右側面の作戦行動を覆い隠しつつ、リエージュと平行した前線を設立した。彼らはベルギー野戦軍の陣地を発見したけれども、前線を越えて侵入することはできず、奥の配置までは発見することができなかった。ベルギー軍の勝利ではあったけれども、戦いに戦略的効果はあまりなかった。すなわち、ドイツ方面軍は、ナミュール、リエージュ、およびアントワープの強化領域を取り囲み、攻略したが、そこにこそベルギー軍の戦略が依存していたのであった。
