Sima Yun's blocking force plus the reinforcements brought by Xiao Hexin totaled no more than 150 people, and what they faced was a reinforced battalion of more than 400 people. The gap in numbers was obvious.
But the gap in numbers can be made up by overall quality. The French's arrogance ultimately cost them a big loss.
The first is the gap in personnel quality. This battalion of the French army is not considered the top ace in the army, otherwise it would not be stationed here in Besançon. The real ace troops are stationed on the German-French border and around the world. Gone to the colony,
Xiao Letian's new army is different. It is an officer corps trained according to the standards of later generations of special forces. Yes, these are the officers' reserve of Xiao Letian's future army. Every soldier he pulls out is competent enough to serve as a company platoon. long job,
In addition, the new army has received training in fighting skills from Lord Long, and many of them even have martial arts backgrounds. They are all talented people who have learned martial arts since childhood. Such people are afraid of hand-to-hand combat. They are eager to kill their enemies one by one with bayonets. Woolen cloth,
The biggest flaw of the French army is not only that. The French army's current situation on the entire battlefield is completely fueling tactics. It is estimated that this group of French soldiers have never received training for emergency gatherings late at night, and because they are in the mainland, they never thought that they would There are enemies attacking Besançon, so their mentality is very relaxed.
When the emergency rally whistle blew, most of the French troops were in a dazed state of being awakened. Either they couldn't find their pants or rifle bullets.
This group of soldiers who are chasing ducks can't gather into an integrated battalion to act in a unified manner. They often rush out after gathering a squad, and rush out a platoon after gathering a platoon.
In this refueling tactic, the number of enemies faced by the new army never exceeded 200. This small time difference was the key to victory.
Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun have now seized the opportunity to fight. They cling to these French troops. The two groups of people fight like wild beasts in the dark, always entangled with the French troops. This makes the enemy's long-range firepower basically impossible. It can't be used,
The New Army and the French Army began to collide violently like two torrents, and every collision would cause a flash of blood. These French big noses are really tenacious, and worthy of their honor, they were repelled three times. Still rushing upwards with a roar,
The fighting power of this group of Chinese people also shocked the French. They never expected that this group of oriental-faced soldiers could be so ruthless and tenacious.
Gradually, the French people's will to fight began to waver. There were clearly waves of shouts coming from behind the military formation. Xiao Hexin and the others could not understand what they were, but they could feel the atmosphere of panic spreading.
Just when the new army was guessing what the French wanted to do, the French army that was entangled with them suddenly retreated like a tide. The two armies instantly opened a distance of more than ten meters.
"The French have retreated," Xiao Hexin looked at the fleeing French army in surprise. Suddenly, a few German words flashed in his mind, which were words that the German instructor had learned during the class.
"Artillery...field artillery...infantry and artillery coordination...fuck it, the French are going to fire, charge everyone and stick to it..." Xiao He was so shocked that the Tianling Cap was about to burst.
"Sima Yun... rush forward with his brothers, the French are about to fire..."
Almost at the same time, in the darkness in front of the new army, a flash of fire flashed, followed by a thunderous explosion.
Boom boom boom, the smoke and dust from the explosion rose at the rear of the team, and the new army closest to the explosion point was knocked down by the air waves. Thanks to Xiao Hexin's roar, he only gained a few seconds more, and the lives saved were huge. It’s not just one or two,
It was Sima Yun who was rushing to the front now. He and Xiao Hexin realized the French army's intention almost at the same time. The furious commander roared,
"Come twenty dead soldiers and follow me to kill through the enemy's formation and remove the artillery position..." As he spoke, the last grenade on Sima Yun's waist was fired, and the retreating French army was blown down.
There were more than twenty dead soldiers who followed. These lunatics brought out by Xiao Letian were all dead soldiers. Ever since the night of the bloody battle in Naha, Xiao Letian had left a mark of madness on the hearts of these soldiers.
More than a dozen grenades blasted a gap in the French army. Under the leadership of Sima Yun, dozens of new troops pierced the field artillery position like light blue poison-hardened knives.
"Cover, cover with muskets, maintain contact with the enemy, press forward..." Xiao He led his brothers to load Spencer, and then tilted the firepower towards the enemy's head.
The bronze frame retreating field gun was just launched from the military camp by the French battalion commander. It is now only more than 400 meters away from the new army. This distance is simply a piece of cake for the new army who are accustomed to surviving in the wild.
Night battles are never a stage where artillery can show off its strength. Just now, with the light of Molotov cocktails, these six field artillery achieved some results, but when the new army followed the French army and chased them all the way and left the fire scene, the artillery immediately became blind,
"Battal Commander, we can't open fire if we don't know the enemy's situation. Now it's a melee. We have to retreat. It's too dangerous to hold on any longer..."
"Shut up, do I need you to teach me how to fight? I went on an expedition to China six years ago. I know what kind of cowards they are... There are only more than a hundred Chinese people opposite us now. Do we have to strengthen each other?" Is the battalion still going to retreat?"
"Pass my order, light a torch to illuminate the artillery, and blow up these criminals..."
Maybe it was because the arrogant battalion commander’s shouts were too loud, or maybe because the torches around the artillery were too bright, Sima Yun saw this tall and thin man at a glance.
Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first, capture the king. If you yell the loudest, you will be the first to die. Sima Yun's right arm was rounded, and the engineer's shovel in his hand flew straight towards the enemy like a whirlwind.
"Batalion Commander, be careful..." The artilleryman who was still arguing just now knocked down the commander with a tiger's lunge, and the engineer shovel was directly inserted into his back.
The battalion commander who had been bragging about the sound of the mountain just now turned pale with fright. He climbed out backwards on his hands and knees. The blood spat out of the artilleryman's mouth stained his uniform red, and the smell of blood that hit his nose made him sick. Want to vomit,
Maybe he was a brave warrior six years ago, capable of expeditions to East Asia, using advanced muskets to brutally torture Qing troops armed with broadswords and spears, but within six years, the hedonistic life in France has softened his temper. Bones, he doesn't want to risk his life again with these Chinese savages.
"God bless me, I have to leave here. I still have several sets of porcelain and calligraphy and paintings from China at home. I haven't enjoyed enough happiness yet. I don't want to die here..."
The collapsed battalion commander had already seen the God of Death on the opposite side holding up his rifle, with a ferocious face as terrifying as a demon from hell. Without a trace of hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
The artilleryman with the engineer shovel stuck in his back stared at the fleeing battalion commander with his dying eyes. He didn't expect that he was saving an incompetent idiot, and his life was wasted.
"Shame...shame..." After saying that, he tilted his head and refused to close his eyes.
The officer's leading escape finally crushed the French army's last vestige of fighting will. The artillerymen guarding the artillery turned around and ran away without saying a word, leaving all the field artillery in the wilderness.
"Turn the muzzle...load the ammunition...bomb the military camp...kill these broken soldiers..." Crazy Sima Yun struggled with one arm and actually turned the field gun 180 degrees, so that the muzzle of the gun was facing the distance. Brightly lit military camps everywhere,
At this time, Sima Yun was already filled with tears of excitement. He kept mumbling to himself, "This is the so-called world's number one army. Just this kind of bastard can capture Beijing. Damn it, just let these ducks escape." They burned down the Old Summer Palace, how could a good China be like this..."
"Everyone is here, targeting the French military camp...rapid fire,"
Boom boom boom... The six field artillery spit out fire, and the explosive bombs roared towards the military camp in the distance. The explosion spread from the field to the military camp. The fleeing French troops were blown into the sky like dolls. The military camp There was a sky-high fire inside, and there were running figures everywhere.
There was also the battalion commander who was the first to escape. He thought he could escape, but he didn't expect Sima Yun to use two field guns to call him by name. The explosive air waves chased him along the trajectory of his escape. past,
Just when the battalion commander was about to escape back to the military camp, a shell exploded less than one meter behind him. Hundreds of high-explosive fragments penetrated his body in an instant, and his whole body felt like it was disconnected. It hit the wall like a kite, like a puddle of mud,
"Fight, fight, I will let these French people remember this killing for a lifetime..." Sima Yun continued to load ammunition like crazy, but at this time Xiao Hexin grabbed his shoulder and shouted,
"Let's go, let's go. Your Excellency has sent out the fireworks signal. You have already left the city. We must catch up and cover you. These ducks can avoid them."
Sima Yun looked back and saw three bright fireworks exploding in the night sky on the east side of the city of Besançon. This proved that Xiao Letian had connected with Luo Huo and should now move towards the border.
"I'm not willing to give in. I'm really not willing to give in. Give me another twenty minutes, and I will definitely be able to wipe out these quacking French ducks. Damn, I'm really giving them an advantage... Retreat, let's retreat..."
The encounter lasted for 30 minutes. This was the largest casualty suffered by Xiao Letian's new army since its formation. After the war, a total of 32 soldiers were killed and 12 were seriously injured.
The New Army did not have the habit of abandoning their brothers. Several carriages snatched from surrounding estates carried the injured New Army and the bodies of the dead in battle, and ran all the way east. To the south of them was the chaotic city of Besançon. District, the parliament building has long been reduced to a sea of flames.
The losses of the New Army were not small, but they were nothing compared to the losses of the French. In one night's conflict, the secret police force suffered more than 20 casualties, six people were killed in the explosion of Parliament, and the troops stationed in Besancon were killed. In the French army camp, more than 400 soldiers were finally counted. One person died, 82 were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured.
Including the battalion commander, a total of 7 officers were killed. This was the Besançon tragedy that shocked the whole of France.
