Chapter 18: Avalanches and Ground Cracks
War is always cruel to life. Righteous or not, there is no such thing as evil or justice in the body after the loss of life.
Hordes of infantry and Indian soldiers of the French Foreign Legion were knocked down on top of the earthen enclosure by the oncoming fire.
Almost instantly, the blood flowed down the mud, which had been blackened by the smoke of the fireworks, and turned into blood and sludge. The wounded soldier screamed, and as he shifted his body, he was pulled down by the men under the earthen fence.
There, their shouts were much quieter.
The successive killings made the French commanders impatient.
Although he understood that he had met the armies of the Chinese Federation, which were feared to some extent by all the countries of the world. But the strength of five divisions and strong air and artillery support convinced him that this battle would be the culmination of his military career.
"Offensive ......"
Under the leadership of the officer, the French ** team quickly approached the earthen fence.
Groups and groups of stretchers, or simply two soldiers supporting the wounded.
"These bastards, they're so dedicated to wounding us that we have to allocate people to do these things!"
The stretcher bearers were sweating on their heads, and the soldiers who were holding the soldiers were also shouting.
"Hi bro, be careful. There are a lot of those guys, almost all of them! One! Root! Read! Nightmare Zheng?
Sniper!
Soldiers on the way, no one knows the number of snipers on the other side. With the news provided by the personnel who came down from the front, almost everyone's hearts were nervous.
"Are they trying to win this war with snipers? These strange Chinese! ”
Now no one will say anything inferior Chinese, and no one will say stupid Chinese, these words are already taboo language in France itself.
Any legislator, any tycoon, any church will be sincerely disgusted by this language.
"You can't say that about this crowd, absolutely not!"
In the eyes of these people, Chinese are law-abiding, hard-working and business-minded. "Zhonghua Association" is also a very powerful social group, and in this case, the word "Chinese" has changed all over the world.
As mentioned earlier, the difference between Westerners and Orientals is that their worship and respect for the strong comes from the marrow of the entire nation. Therefore, despite the fact that they are now on both sides of hostility and warfare, they will no longer look down on their opponents.
Circling the city, the earthen fence that had been turned into empty earth by artillery shells was covered in blue military uniforms. They didn't poke their heads out to provoke the almost ubiquitous snipers of the other side.
All the French soldiers, they were just preparing. Prepare to raise your bayonets and rush into the city to fight the enemy here to the death. Fighting, not something the French soldiers were afraid of. Only, they don't want to die worthless.
The sound of 75mm guns being fired from afar, and the fire of these armored vehicles was still designed by the McPrinces Company of Nancy at the time of every world war.
So far, the French, having lost a large part of the military industry, have not entered into the upgrading of these weapons in time. Although they will be able to use it for now, if they encounter the Marine Corps Heavy Artillery Regiment, they will understand how far they have fallen behind.
As the shells of the 75-mm self-propelled guns landed, large groups of French soldiers raised their bayonet weapons.
"Charge ......"
The courage of the French soldiers was always admirable, and even at the beginning of the First World War, they would charge in fairly tight formations until everyone fell under German machine-gun fire.
If, the tentative attack just now would be repelled by the sniper's accurate blow, then this decisive charge will definitely not end easily.
As the French soldiers advanced, the resistance they encountered grew strong.
Underground, there are patches of "bullet mines" and anti-infantry jumping mines. The charging soldiers did not care about the casualties caused by these weapons. They shouted and ran forward as fast as they could. In this case, they understood that if they moved fast enough, then numerical superiority would bring them victory in this battle.
In a support point defense system protected by sandbags, the "Wolf General Purpose Machine Gun" sprays tongues of fire. Snipers don't have to fire quickly with observer data.
In addition to firing with the 1.5x scope on his Stern rifle, the observer will also provide the sniper with the location of the opposing commander or soldier.
60, 80, and 120 mm mortars also fired intensive artillery fire at the charging French troops from one fire point after another.
The attackers in the front row were either killed and wounded by the dense fire, or were suppressed by the fire behind the concealment on the ground. In the face of such a situation, they are still trying to engage in firepower with each other.
They were supported by the shouts of the sea behind them, the soldiers in blue uniforms who climbed over the yellow wall like the sea.
Victory is at hand, and this is something that every attacker firmly believes in his heart.
They cheered, shouted, and charged.
Ignore the smoke of gunpowder that chokes on tears, and the blood that makes people sick.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, an explosion sounded like a landslide. The rising earth was mixed with fist-sized rocks. When the explosion, when the stones sent by the explosion to a height of dozens of meters fell, they could easily smash a soldier wearing a steel helmet with the sound of the wind.
The entire earthen enclosure was completely blown into a tunnel almost instantly, and this was the ultimate means of repelling the first attack of the French soldiers!
Quite a few boxes of explosives were arranged at regular intervals under the entire wall. The top of the chest was covered with fist-sized stones, and on top of it was the layer of soil that was used for protection.
At the front, the French artillery used to "eliminate" the first bombardment of snipers, and there was nothing decent heavy artillery. Because these big guys are still moving slowly on the avenue that is constantly being attacked by the "Vietnamese National Liberation Army".
The vehicle-mounted 75 mm support fire, combined with the tank's 57 mm guns, was not too powerful against the thick earth on the earthen fence, so the trap was a complete success.
Along with the dirt and stones, there were also the limbs of the French soldiers who were crossing the earthen wall. Hundreds of French soldiers, under such an explosion, became some independent body parts.
After the rocks fell to the ground, they fell sporadically from the sky.
It was a terrible hell on the ground, and the attacking corps, which had lost almost an entire battalion of troops at one time, had lost almost an entire battalion of troops in a single battle.
The loss was unbearable, but the nightmare was just beginning.
After the violent explosion, groups of soldiers in camouflage uniforms of the Bundeswehr launched a counterattack.
As in training, they unhurriedly lined up to search and annihilate formations, and in their hands were weapons ready to shoot. Behind them, the sniper squads of each infantry squad opened cover fire with machine gun squads.
Almost every French soldier who survived such a big explosion and still had some combat ability was suppressed by these fires, and there was no way to raise his head and attack almost immediately.

————————————————————————————————————— in addition to the hundreds of soldiers killed and wounded in the explosion, many more French soldiers were wounded, and an entire regiment was completely incapacitated by the blow.
With the exception of a few French soldiers who carried the wounded, most of them were in good health or had only minor wounds, and they became prisoners of the Marines, and a strange scene was played out on the battlefield.
The attacker escorted the attacker and moved to the rear of his position. Other French soldiers carried the dead bodies and advanced towards their own positions.
"No, don't shoot, let these guys come back, order the armored infantry to prepare for the attack! In addition, the infantry on both sides began to make a flank detour to the county town of Anpei! ”
The French front-line commander was almost in a state of rampage, and the situation on the battlefield was too abnormal now. There were 5 divisions of the army, but they could not strike a full blow at the opponent.
The county town of An Bai is completely stuck in the way forward, and if you want to reach the lair of the "Vietnamese National Liberation Army", then the city in front of you, which is garrisoned by the troops of the Chinese Federation, must be captured.
The failure of the tentative offensive made the French generals lose patience. The armored infantry division, which was supposed to be the main force of the assault, was placed at the front, while an Indian infantry division was reinforced. As for the other two divisions, they will detour from both sides of the county to the rear of the enemy's flank.
The only place where it is lacking, that is, the only place where it is not going according to plan. The heavy artillery units, due to the harassment along the way, had not yet entered their positions at this time, and if they had waited, they would probably have to attack in a few days.
Then this involves a problem, if the Chinese Federation solves the matter of their car in time. And if the main force of their rapid reaction force were to be transferred to the battlefield, it would be an absolute disaster for the Vietnamese colonial government.
Because no one in this world has dared to resist the attack of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles in the rapid reaction force of the Chinese Federation under the cover of a powerful flying team.
The Vietnamese colonial government has never fought a war with the Chinese Federation, and all they have done is to settle the base areas of the "Vietnamese National Liberation" before the Chinese Federation settles the Shanghai issue.
If the occupation becomes a fact, then the Chinese Federation will have to settle its problems at the negotiating table, even if it has objections.
But what the French absolutely did not expect was that this attack would bring such a catastrophe.
