Seeing the frightened female nurse staggering out of the town holding a white flag, the battlefield suddenly became silent, and the soldiers from both sides who had just been shooting at each other stopped shooting.
The French soldiers carefully watched the angel in white approaching. When she was more than ten meters away from the French position, two French soldiers suddenly rushed out, protected the female nurse and evacuated to a safe area.
Xiang Ying's telescope seemed to be able to see a commotion in the enemy's position opposite. It was obvious that the news brought by the female nurse really shocked them.
"The lives of more than three hundred wounded soldiers... I just want to see if you care about it. I want to see if you dare to massacre your own people!"
Facts have proved that these French army troops absolutely do not dare. The more senior the troops are, the more they care about the friendship of soldiers. The wounded soldiers come from different troops. Even though there are only three hundred, it is related to the emotions of the entire expeditionary force.
If that commander is not smart and dares to attack the wounded barracks at this time, once he causes casualties among his own people, his future in the army will be completely ruined.
How many enemies will this make? Countless!
Xiang Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma... I finally recovered from my dying breath. My ancestors bless me!"
The fierce battle on the Zhiyuan sailors' side suddenly and strangely stopped, but the bloody battle on the southern beach of Spike Island became increasingly fierce.
The new Prussian troops gradually joined in, and the tired French soldiers continued to retreat. Coupled with the gradual introduction of the God of War artillery, the Prussian army, which occupied absolute firepower, although the total number of troops was smaller, its combat effectiveness was not reduced at all.
The area for beach landings was expanding step by step, and more and more fishing boats came up with Prussian civilian support. By the last delivery, more than 3,000 soldiers could be brought ashore.
The forward hand-to-hand combat front has advanced into the dense oak forest. The Prussian army is less than 800 meters away from the small town in the center of the island. Looking at the speed of this advance, it will take more than forty minutes at most. They will Xiang Ying and others can be rescued.
At this point in the battle, the French army had completely collapsed. The hungry and thirsty soldiers launched meaningless attacks again and again, only to be defeated again and again.
The morale of the military has completely collapsed, and the Army no longer has the disdainful momentum it once dominated in Europe!
The navy saw everything that happened on Spike Island. Hof's face turned pale with anger as he stared at the changing battlefield situation on the island.
"It's a shame, it's simply a shame for the empire. Even if you don't have all your troops ashore, even if you are attacked by the Zhiyuan and cause serious casualties..."
"But of the 30,000-strong expeditionary force, at least 20,000 have landed! Can 20,000 people not even be able to deal with such a small enemy? Is this still the world's strongest army created by the Bonaparte family?"
"Shame... they are all a group of war criminals who deserve to be guillotined!"
Hof cursed in the command room, but did not notice the unconvinced looks from the people around him. Today's battle is going to this point. Isn't it you who is the instigator?
If you hadn't issued stupid orders over and over again, how could this war have been fought like this?
Facing the sudden British fleet, you showed your cowardly nature, fearing that the British would suddenly attack and immediately order the army to land!
The original grand strategy was overturned in this way. Do you know how difficult it would be for the 30,000-strong army to break the original strategic arrangement and accept new orders?
Not to mention other things, the soldiers' work and rest schedules have to be readjusted. You have to wake up many sleeping soldiers and assign them new tasks and complete them immediately!
This is not the action of thirty or fifty people, this is a complete redesign of the thirty thousand army! Do you know how much work this is?
From the moment you rashly changed your action plan, the Army was in chaos!
Hoff, you are not only cowardly but also evasive. Facing the appearance of the Zhiyuan, your attitude has never been clear from the beginning to the end. Sometimes you want to sink it, and sometimes you want to capture it. In the end, you are still constantly judging the pros and cons. , I always want to find the best result for you!
As soon as he saw the possibility of capture, he wanted to use this battleship to make meritorious service in exchange for his own immunity!
Once we find out that the Chinese have become tough in resistance and then cry hysterically about sinking them, how can we be convinced by such a walleye!
Hof had no idea that the people below were already so unconvinced. He had never been given the telescope in his hand, and his eyes were as red and swollen as rabbits.
"The Chinese have been holding the town for twenty minutes. Why haven't the army launched an attack yet? What are they waiting for..."
"The Prussian army continues to advance, why is the army still retreating? Where is their courage?"
Listening to the commander's nonsense, foaming at the mouth, the adjutant next to him couldn't stand it any longer, "Sir... the Army brothers are really too tired. They haven't slept or eaten or drank since early last night. They are already extremely tired." Tired!"
"Coupled with the loss of artillery support, the combat effectiveness will naturally decrease..."
"What about the small town? If you can't deal with the Prussians, why can't you deal with hundreds of Chinese?" Hof started shouting before the adjutant finished speaking.
At this time, the adjutant no longer cared about superiority and inferiority. He stiffened his neck and retorted, "Sir... Although I am not on the front line, I can judge from my simplest military experience that there must be a large number of wounded soldiers from the Army in that small town." …”
"The army has not attacked because it must be afraid of the safety of the wounded soldiers!"
"Fart! It's all fart! This is war, what we want is victory... When did the Army become a bunch of bitches? Send them a signal and order them to attack immediately and destroy these Chinese!"
"I don't want any prisoners, just let them bring out the bodies of all the officers!"
The faces of the officers around them turned pale with anger. "Sir! You cannot give this order! Are you trying to enmity with the entire army?"
"This order has been issued, and you will be solely responsible for all the wounded and killed soldiers! More importantly, the Army will not obey your order..."
"Asshole!" Hof roared, "I am the commander-in-chief appointed by the Queen of the Supervisory Country, and I have the highest authority!"
"Even if you have the highest authority, they won't listen!" The men were completely anxious. They realized that Hoff was trying to push the navy and army to the enemy!
"Commander, you have to understand! The Queen's purpose in letting you command the expeditionary force is just to appease the navy!"
"Her purpose is just because the army did not fight well before, and she hopes to use the navy to break the situation! The purpose of giving you the highest command is to inspire our navy to fight bravely!"
"It's not that Your Majesty and the Queen really think that our navy can surpass the army!"
"All your orders must take into account the feelings of the army! How can the glorious army created by Emperor Napoleon himself obey our words?"
"What's more..." these subordinate officers gritted their teeth and said, "What's more, with this night's command, you have lost the trust of the army. Do you really think you can command it?"
"If you don't believe me, just give the order and try it! See if the army will listen to your order!"
