There were chaotic shouts of killing in the darkness, and then two staggering figures rushed out from the alley. Under the light of the torch were two men covered in blood.
Behind them, there were twenty or thirty commune members chasing each other. These people were armed with bayonets and iron bars and only had two or three rifles, but the fighting was full of momentum!
"Seize them and drown them in the Seine!"
"Outflank, outflank!"
The two people who were running for their lives looked up and saw that they were government troops. They burst into tears of excitement and said, "Help me... We are plainclothes police officers... We are secret agents... Help us..."
"Shoot! Shoot!" the captain of the Presidential Guard gave the order. Dozens of rifles from the Guards fired in unison, and the bullets went through the pockets.
The chasing members never expected that they would encounter such a dense firepower of government troops here, and they would be defeated as soon as they met.
"The enemy's firepower is too strong... retreat!"
The commune members dragged the bodies of the dead in the war and turned around and ran away while carrying the wounded! The soldiers of the Presidential Guard were about to catch up, but were stopped by the German company commander.
"They are familiar with the terrain. Don't chase...it's too dangerous. It's important to protect the president!"
Thiers looked at the two spies covered in blood, frowned and asked, "Aren't you plainclothes spies? How did you expose your target? Are you still being hunted?"
At this moment, the two of them already knew that this was the new president of France. They braced themselves up and cooperated with the soldiers to bandage the wounds while replying, "Exposed, all exposed, Your Excellency, President... You don't know how terrifying these commune thugs are!"
"One of the commune leaders named Raoul Rigault attacked the police headquarters in the chaos after the defeat of Sedan. He stole a lot of plainclothes files..."
"Sixty percent of the plainclothes network installed by the French Emperor in Paris was exposed. That Raoul Rigault took the secret files and searched for them according to the pictures, and arrested one of our colleagues one after another..."
"Many people couldn't bear the torture and threats to their loved ones, so they had no choice but to join the thugs... This is how our identities were exposed. It was our colleagues who betrayed us..."
The German company commander next to him sneered and said, "Didn't you surrender? How can we judge your loyalty?"
"Sir, there is no need for us to take refuge with them... First of all, we have no relatives in Paris, and they cannot threaten my family!"
"In addition, we have been responsible for intelligence outside Paris. Our files are not at the police headquarters in the city... We have been betrayed by our own people!"
"There is no gain in deceiving you. Your Excellency, President, considering the hard work we have suffered, please let us go back to our hometown in the south. We have been exposed, and we can no longer help the government..."
Thiers waved his hand impatiently, "Give them treatment, then send them back and arrange jobs in their hometown..."
I rubbed my hands and looked at the dark streets in front of me. This Paris has turned into a terrifying ghost, as if a demon would come out every step I took.
"Your Excellency, it's better not to move forward, this city is too dangerous..."
"No... I still want to see with my own eyes where I lost, and move on!"
This night was an unforgettable night for Thiers. He was actually afraid of death, and he knew the danger, but the outcome of Paris was related to his bet with Xiao Letian. If he lost, it would be a pain that the country could not bear!
Why did you lose? Where did you go wrong? There must be an answer!
The answer has actually been written in the ocean of this people's war. Along the way, the president encountered four small-scale battles. This is the Left Bank of Paris, which is the area most strictly controlled by government forces.
But here, the all-pervasive commune warriors can constantly harass and launch various surprise attacks!
They attacked the supply carriages of the government forces and snatched away all the carriages with few escort troops!
The windows in the darkness were open one after another. You had no idea that bullets would suddenly be fired from the glass. Countless soldiers died tragically in the sneak attacks of sharpshooters.
Looking up at the night sky, the faint starlight outlines the outline of the building. In the darkness, you can see countless thin figures moving back and forth.
You don't know who they are, or what kind of secret mission they have.
Even in the sewers on the street corners, there are countless children hiding, delivering the latest orders!
On the surface, the fighting during the day has stopped, but sporadic conflicts and sneak attacks have never stopped. This war has become an inescapable mud war!
This is how the morale of the army collapsed. The side that Thiers couldn't see was actually even more terrifying!
The grenadier, who had not eaten a mouthful of food, drank a lot of red wine. The drunkenness and hunger were mixed together. The tortured soldier was drowsy but could not fall asleep!
The soldiers were leaning on each other's backs, wrapped in blankets, surrounded by the wooden fence of the military camp. But just as they seemed to be sleeping, a roll of something suddenly stuck out from the gap in the fence.
The roll of something poked the soldier in the butt, "Who is it? Who..."
The soldier was so shocked that he stood up and shouted, but when he saw that childish little face, he couldn't shout!
A little girl and two little boys, about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in rags and with eyes brighter than the stars.
"Uncle soldier... keep your voice down... shush!"
"These are for you...biscuits...and these are for you too..."
Stuffed through the gap in the fence was a roll of leaflets printed by the commune, and another handkerchief wrapped a dozen biscuits. This was a gift from the child to his soldier uncle.
Innocent children can always soothe the anger in people's hearts. Several soldiers who woke up gathered around, lying on the ground with their buttocks sticking out and sharing cookies with the children!
Of course, those flyers were also accepted!
"Come on, this is a war, it's too dangerous... Go home to your parents!"
"No more...my parents are gone...we are orphans..."
"My mother starved to death while the emperor was still there... My father participated in a demonstration and was shot to death..."
The children didn't cry, their tears had dried up long ago, but telling the saddest fate in such a calm tone shocked the soul even more!
These young soldiers from the south were all dumbfounded. This was the first time they faced the conflict in Paris with their own eyes, and they began to understand gradually!
Why do these people want revolution even if they are not afraid of death?
Because if they don’t make a revolution, they will die!
