281 Bloody battle on the outskirts of Besançon
The progress of science and technology has brought about great changes in human society as a whole, including the pattern of warfare. In the mid-to-late 19th century, Xiao Letian was in the transition stage from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution, and the explosive development of science and technology brought about the overall change of human society.
The advent of telegraph technology has not only changed the way human beings communicate, but also made the operations of large corps more efficient and organized, and the dispatch of various resources has become effective and scientific.
The popularity of rear-loading needle-pierced rifled guns directly changed the mode of army combat, soldiers no longer had to wait in long queues to be shot, and they could reload weapons while lying behind cover, and the trench was born based on this change.
In addition, the successive popularization of ironclad warships, the birth of smokeless gunpowder, and the gradual extension of the railway network have brought earth-shaking changes to human society.
There is a chance with change, and it is absolutely impossible for a weak country to turn over and not seize the opportunity for change, when the old empire is immersed in the glory of the past and is slow to react, those small countries who are catching up have the opportunity to come.
Prussia firmly grasped the tide of the changes of the times and used new technology to transform it into new strategies and tactics, which led to successive victories in the three major wars and the completion of national reunification.
And today, in the eyes of Europeans, the ignorant and backward Chinese soldiers have also used the most advanced tactical concepts to teach these stupid French stupid geese a good lesson.
Less than a hundred new troops were ambushed in the path of the French charge, some hid in civilian houses and warehouses, some hid behind thick tree trunks, and more directly sappers worked with shovels, digging out foxholes one after another, Spencer erected on the mound, Molotov cocktails and grenades neatly placed on both sides.
Xiao Letian is completely abusing the tactics of World War II, which is a tactical generation gap of nearly 100 years, and the current French army is at a loss in the face of this almost scoundrel treatment.
When Sima Yun's order to attack was given, the burning Molotov cocktail tumbled into the enemy's ranks, and the sound of glass bottles shattering and kerosene burning everywhere was heard.
Anyone who has ever played with a campfire knows that in the dark of night, people close to the fire can only see patches of darkness when they look out, but those in the dark can see the situation next to the fire clearly.
Beside the burning flames were French soldiers scurrying around, forming small firing formations and firing ferociously in the direction from which the Molotov cocktails were thrown.
At this time, the French army and the British navy were veritable world first, and the defenders of a battalion here in Besançon were not the most elite at all, but the frequency of their muskets and the range of fire still surprised the new troops.
The silent French army fired rapidly into the darkness, and there were not many armies in the world that could shoot the front-loading Minnie so quickly.
The French responded smartly, and when they were attacked at night, on the one hand, they let the soldiers look for cover, and on the other hand, they suppressed the dangerous areas of the fire squad. This is a lesson learned in exchange for blood, and it is a compulsory course in the army's drill code.
It's a pity that today they are met with an army that is ahead of their time, and all their counterattacks are in vain.
The calm young men of the New Army were lying in the individual pits, the Spencers in their hands pouring firepower, and they even sneered at the bullets flying above their heads, and scolded stupid people in their hearts.
"These blind people are going to hell with their eyes open...... "The steady finger pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun close to the ground drew a raised trajectory and went straight to the enemy.
This group of French soldiers was simply a live target, bullets pierced their bodies, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground before they even had time to scream.
It was a one-sided killing, and the formation of the first two hundred French troops who rushed up was as if it had been hit by an invisible heavy hammer, and in just five minutes, there were already more than sixty battle attrition.
"Scattered...... Don't fall in love with the war, we're already targeted......" Before a French platoon commander could finish shouting, a bullet went through his mouth and into the back of his head.
The big platoon leader fell to the ground like a log, and the wound on the back of his head was the size of a teacup.
"Oh God... The platoon commander died in battle...... I have to say that the French soldiers at this time were a very honorable group, and when their commander was killed in battle, what they thought was not to retreat but to charge forward against the rain of bullets.
"Revenge, revenge for the war dead......" The French soldiers surged forward like crazy, their figures jumping in the darkness.
Sima Yun sneered and shouted, "Brothers... Shoot up your bullets...... Prepare for a white soldier fight, hold off the enemy's arrogance, and repel their attacks...... Let them know that we're not to be messed with..."
"These arrogant French have dared to imprison the Prime Minister, they have long regarded us as a mustard, and they look down on us even if they pinch our eyes...... Brothers, how can you earn the respect of your enemies?"
Sima Yun's pre-war encouragement really made people's blood boil, and the hundred new troops collectively roared, "Kill... Kill... Kill... Sacrifice Xuanyuan with my blood, sacrifice Huaxia with my life..."
It was a battle of wills in the dark, each of the new soldiers aroused the greatest murderous intent, and the French also went mad, when they saw the corpses of their comrades on the ground, they completely lost their minds, and revenge was the only thought in their hearts.
The idea of the French is also very simple, no one can lose to these Chinese, six thousand years of French army burned down the Chinese summer palace, although most of those thousands of expeditionary forces are now retired, but the pride of victory is left to other soldiers.
This is the interior of France, this is the heart of Europe, this is the home of the white race, and if it loses here to the hands of the Chinese, then France will become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe.
In the darkness of the night, the two armies finally collided, and the new army, which had run out of bullets, picked up its tactical daggers and rushed towards the French army, and at that moment it was like two heavy tanks colliding together in the wilderness, and blood and fire splashed in the air.
"Warriors of France, defeat these barbarians with our bayonets......"
"Brothers of the Prime Minister's new army, draw your swords and attack the enemy, don't let those Japanese laugh at ......"
In the shouts of Chinese and French, war quickly recovered to the appearance of antiquity, and cold weapons actually became the mainstream of the battlefield.
Sima Yun held the tactical short knife in one hand and rounded the sapper shovel in the other, and before the enemy in front of him could react, the sharp short knife pierced his throat, and streams of blood splattered out.
Immediately after, he pressed his right arm against the abdomen of another Frenchman, and a back fall threw the hapless Frenchman to the ground, and then the sapper shovel smashed on his temple like lightning, and even the ** was smashed out.
"Hahaha, brothers, do you see? The French are not three-headed and six-armed, they are also flesh and blood, and they will still bleed and ......die if they are cut by a knife."
"Fight fight, keep fighting, this killing makes them remember for a hundred years......"
All the soldiers of the New Army jumped out of their bunkers and rushed towards the enemy with a frenzy on their faces, and all of them had no sense of flinching, even if they fought to the last drop of blood.
The French also played out with fire, long bayonets dancing tigers, small battle queues coordinated with each other, often three or four bayonets pierced into the bodies of the New Army soldiers, and even they would form a round defensive formation with shoulder and back against each other to resist the Chinese charge.
The French army stationed at Besançon was a reinforced battalion of more than 400 soldiers, which was overwhelmingly superior in numbers, and when the battle began, they paid for more than 100 lives before finally becoming entangled with these Chinese warriors.
The French army sent more and more reinforcements, and one by one the squad platoon companies formed a stormtroop formation to surround the Chinese, and the battlefield situation suddenly became anxious.
The commander of the French battalion shouted at the back of the ranks, "Warriors of France, these Chinese have little courage to expend, our predecessors have already broken through their capital, even the emperor's palace has been burned down, they are all a flock of weak sheep, they will not ...... anything except a sneak attack"
"Fight, fight for the honor of France..."
At this moment, an angry scolding in the distance, "Fuck you, your military uniform is the most gorgeous, Lao Tzu killed you ......" followed by three gunshots, two of which were missed, and the last shot directly overturned the battalion commander's military cap.
"Reinforcements?Chinese there are still reinforcements...... the French couldn't believe their eyes, but they did see it, and a group of Chinese in light blue military uniforms rushed out from the direction of the city.
"It's Xiao Hexin, it's Lord Xiao...... He's here to support us...... "That's right, at this time, from the flank of the battlefield, it was Xiao Hexin who blew up the Besançon City Council.
"Hahaha, Sima Yun, you are enough, you have already started hand-to-hand combat before I come, if Ye Ping sees it, they have to be envious to death...... Brothers, we can't let them take all the credit, we have to leave a little..."
"Run out of your bullets, grab your daggers, and grab your sappers' shovels...... And your fingernails and teeth, charge your enemies with a qiē tool capable of fighting...... This slaughter is to be remembered by these French people for a hundred years..."
The battle has now been out of control, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun have long forgotten that they are still a commander, their eyes are now scarlet, and they have only one purpose in their hearts, that is, to kill the prestige of the Chinese, even if the whole army is destroyed, they will still fight to the death.
Today, on the outskirts of Besançon, even the last drop of blood will trample the arrogance of the French into the mud.
"Ahh Brethren...... This is a battle for glory, and it will make these French people fear us for the rest of their lives, even if we become demons in hell..."
The warriors of the new army, who opened their bloody mouths to reveal Bai Sensen's teeth, bit down on the throat of the enemy, and the stench of blood spurted everywhere.
It was only at this moment that these French soldiers realized what a terrible army they were facing, and the morale of the French finally began to loosen.
