3. VII. Isonzo battle + VIII. Isonzo battle

 

13 September 1916 - 17 September 1916

9 October 1916 - 12 October 1916

Italians were considerably encouraged by the successes of the previous month, like that in mid-September they began shelling the entire front line (Rombon - Adriatic Sea). The main offensive concentrated on the Karst Plateau and Arupacupa. Despite overwhelming pressure the Italian army gained only Miren castle and Grujpo Kupo. Waiting for the reinforcements, Cadorna stopped fighting. In three weeks Italian troops attacked again, which resulted in a shift of the front by three kilometers.
