The battle of Caporetto took place in october 1917 on the Austro-Italian front of World War I. Austrian forces, reinforced by German units, were able to break into the italian front line and rout the italian army, which had practically no mobile reserves. Austrian forces advanced more than 100 km in the direction of Venice, but they were not able to cross the river Piave, where the italians (with substantial help from French, English and American allies) established a new defensive line, which they held for the rest of the war.

The rout is beautifully described in the Ernest Hemingway's novel "A farewell to arms".
