When I was in college, Weiss spent his weekends and holidays either working or soaking in the library. There are thousands of biographies of famous people in the library, and he actually read more than half of them before graduation, among them, the most impressive is the European god of war and the French emperor Napoleon I. Several different versions of Napoleon's biography have different perspectives and different ways of dissecting them, but one thing must be admiration, admiration, and admiration for his unparalleled military talent. This small Italian man from Corsica rose to fame with his performance in the Battle of Toulon, and before Toulon, his living conditions could be described as a mess, not only was he shy in his pockets, but his future in the army also seemed bleak...... At that time, Weiss regarded Napoleon as his idol and dreamed of one day finding the right direction in his life in Toulon, and after crossing over to the planet Orens, this dream continued unabated, especially after entering the Dellafig High Staff Academy, and this yearning for becoming a savior intensified. However, from the Battle of the Northern Frontier to the Belakaser Pass, from the Sambara River to Stihofen, he did his best, and fully mobilized his mind, although he performed well, but he was still far from the expected turning the tide.

After going through twists and turns, will it become its own Toulon?

Weiss didn't have time to think about it, and the Norman army, which was pouring in like the rising tide of the water, finally advanced to his defense. In a short time, dozens of well-armed and agile Norman soldiers rushed in over the wall that had been blown down by artillery fire.

"Fire!"

Weiss gave the order, and the Union soldiers fired their guns in unison. In the blink of an eye, the Norman soldiers who had crossed the wall and did not reach the factory were almost all turned into dead corpses, but the pleasure of killing the enemy only lasted for a moment, and the dense bullets of the Normans pressed the federal troops defending the factory area to the ground. Identified by the mechanical roar of the vehicles, the Norman chariot units quickly crossed the outer line of defense and followed the infantry units in the first line.

Unsurprisingly, when the Normans crossed the wall again, at least three armoured fighting vehicles were cruising through the streets, and in this close-quarters battle, their large-caliber machine guns were so powerful that the Union soldiers facing the Norman breakthrough either fired to their deaths or gave up shooting, hoping that their comrades in other positions would use crossfire to block the enemy, so that they could avoid the enemy's edge, see the right time to throw a wave of mines, and defuse the enemy's second attack with the lowest possible casualties.

The Norman army was no pack of brutes, and their superior technical and tactical skills had been fully demonstrated by their opponents in the two major wars, and they were sharpened like a blade, which was probably the most desperate part of the opponents.

After the first wave of the attack, the Normans not only covered the Federalist fortifications with fierce and precise suppressive fire, but the soldiers who attacked over the wall rushed through the unsheltered open area with decisive attitude and swift movements, and reached the production workshop area that was almost in ruins, losing only a few men. In the chaotic battle between the ruins, the Norman soldiers skillfully alternated cover, sometimes getting up to shoot, sometimes throwing thunder, sometimes frontal assault, sometimes fighting in a roundabout way, leaving the defenders exhausted.

In the battle bunker in the center of the factory, Weiss, with his own skills, accurately observed the enemy's offensive, and he decisively ordered: "Herald, inform the 3rd detachment to withdraw from its position." Wise, wait for everyone to evacuate, and then detonate the explosives. ”

As soon as the words fell, the agile herald ran along the preset communication line to the production workshop area that was in a state of fierce battle. After a few moments, a group of dark figures retreated from the corner where they had avoided enemy gunfire. With the cessation of frontal defensive fire, the Normans who had entered the area of the collapsed factory could clearly feel the sudden decrease in resistance, but they did not perceive the "conspiracy" of the other side, and thus happily accepted the positions offered by the defenders. The prostrate Demoman quietly watched the battle unfold in the dark, and after several of his fighters helped each other out of the factory, he lit the fuse with his lighter and stared at the rapidly advancing spark as if admiring a work of art......

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A series of explosions turned the production workshop area where dozens of Norman soldiers were entrenched into a sea of fire. The explosion was triggered by explosives and artillery shells planted there in advance by Union soldiers, which were secured, in piles of rubble, drains, and damaged machinery, connected by fast fuses. This explosion, of course, is not as powerful as the large-scale artillery bombardment of the Norman army, and it is far from the explosion that blew up the Grumman Building. The ruins are a natural position in this street battle, and as long as they are properly used, they can provide a lot of help for defense.

This unexpected trap directly caused this wave of Norman army attacks to collapse. However, these two old punches were obviously not heavy enough, the first tentative attack and the second single-point assault, the Normans did not invest many troops, and the total loss of a hundred or so people was far from enough to make them retreat. Taking advantage of the short gap in the enemy's attack, Weiss fine-tuned the defensive deployment, allowing the 2nd Detachment stationed in the material warehouse area and the loading and unloading yard area to transfer half of its men and horses, replace the 3rd Detachment, which had fought with the enemy, refill the defensive gap in the production workshop area on the north side, and let several machine gun crews that had previously exposed their fire positions switch firing positions nearby.

In less than a cup of tea, the Norman army, which had firmly grasped the initiative in this battle and was completely strong, made a comeback. Under the cover of three wheeled armored fighting vehicles crashing directly into the fence and driving into the factory, the Norman infantry rushed into the factory in a seemingly disorderly formation, as if they were a school of salmon scrambling to spawn grounds, and rushed towards any shelter that could take temporary shelter. At this time, the defenders were under fire, but their machine guns and machine guns were immediately under fire from enemy armoured fighting vehicles, some armed with machine guns, some with short-barreled guns, and several more than three exposed to the wall.

This is a fight between the tip of a needle and a fight to the death, and neither side will have illusions. On the side of the Federal Army, there was no need for Weiss to dispatch, and the firepower of large-caliber machine guns poured into the Norman armored combat vehicles that entered the factory area. Their defensive characteristics are just like those of the hyenas in the mountains, with a hard head, strong legs, and a weak waist, and a properly deployed crossfire has just the opportunity to restrain their weaknesses. Under the concentrated fire attack of the Federal Army, those Norman chariots were dumbed one after another, and one after another were blown up, but the destruction of the front-line fire fulcrum did not make the Norman soldiers who broke into the factory area give up the attack. While the defenders' fire was being attracted, at least one company of Norman infantry rushed through the vulnerable open area, partly to the production workshop that had just "devoured" many of their brothers, and partly to the furnace plant on the west side of the factory.

This time, the Normans had significantly slowed down the tempo, which made the defensive Union officers and soldiers feel a little less stressed, but as the battle progressed, they gradually realized that this was a terrible illusion: the Normans had simply changed their tactical strategy, from a strong push to a flexible attack, from a hammer to a sharp knife to a sharp knife. They formed groups of three or five, occupying positions that could be attacked and retreated, and constantly infiltrated the defenders in depth. As soon as the defenders open fire, multiple combat groups suppress from several directions at the same time, cover the nearest companion to approach the target, throw a few spinach bullets past, quickly retreat some distance, look for the next target, and then target them in the same way.

This mode of battle of the Normans, with astonishing patience and skill, increased the efficiency of infantry in close combat to a terrifying extreme. Since the enemy's battle lines were wide open and staggered from each other, Weiss could only kill a third to a quarter of the enemy if he had done the same trick by arranging for the defenders to evacuate and detonate the preset explosives, and after the explosion, the Normans would enter the area where the danger of the explosion had been relieved at a faster pace, thus seizing the advantageous position and pushing the defenders into a desperate situation step by step.

Fortunately, Weiss left a hand, he recruited 8 shooters from among the lightly wounded, issued them Grumman sniper rifles with scopes, arranged them in a better concealed position in the shooting range, and asked them not to shoot if they did not see the red signal flare, and when they saw the red signal flare, they launched a "hunting operation" in the direction of the signal flare. In addition to these volunteers, who thought they were good at archery, he also singled out two young men who had excelled in the early shooting training and arranged for them to serve as "guerrilla hunters", allowing them to freely choose their shooting positions within the defense area, giving priority to Norman officers and non-commissioned officers, and giving free play in battle.

There was no room for delay, Weiss personally fired the red flares, and the scattered sound of rifles was not prominent in this noisy battlefield. The lightly wounded who temporarily served as snipers could not shoot accurately enough to penetrate the Yang in 100 steps, but before the Normans could figure out the situation, they opened fire indiscriminately, killing and wounding many Norman soldiers in a few minutes, forcibly restraining their easy infiltration offensive, and stuck the remaining Norman soldiers in place, leaving them in a dilemma.

Before you know it, the head-to-head confrontation around the factory area lasted for more than two hours. The Union Army, which was far outnumbered by its opponents, thwarted the Norman Army's continuous renovation of the "tricks" with a calm and calm, determined and courageous attitude. Seeing the corpses of the enemy all over the ground and their own losses quite low, the confidence of the defenders increased sharply, but they did not know that the enemy had already formed a siege after seizing the adjacent blocks and factories in multiple directions, and if they attacked from all sides, they would definitely be under heavy pressure, and the Normans were only one or two defenders left to defend the buildings, and they could completely cut off their retreat on the ground.

Weiss alone saw this precarious situation in his eyes.
