279 Post-war cleanup

Although the main force of the Revolutionary Army of the First French Republic was completely defeated in the Battle of Caen, it was brainwashed by fanatical revolutionary ideas, and there was no shortage of unwilling soldiers who resisted to the end.

Maybe it's because of the tragic death of a comrade in battle, maybe it's because a family member and friend were sent to God and his old man during the attack of the Young Guard, or maybe it's just a fantasy of freedom, equality, and fraternity.

These defeated soldiers, with different ideals and revenge goals, spontaneously gathered together to form small groups of militants, taking advantage of every opportunity to attack the Young Guard, who were outnumbered by themselves, and then defeated without exception......

Because the main force of the Revolutionary Army of the First French Republic collapsed so quickly, the generals of the command fled the battlefield before they even had time to gather their troops, or became 'revolutionary martyrs'.

As a result, those revolutionary militants who voluntarily stayed behind and fought desperately could not be effectively unified at all, and could only fight on their own, and this undoubtedly put them, the revolutionary militants, who fought bravely with their blood, at various disadvantages when facing the well-organized and morale-strong Young Guards, causing a large number of unnecessary casualties.

It is true that these revolutionary militants who stayed behind and fought hard really caused the young guards to pay a lot of casualties, but at the same time, these militants who had combat experience and whose revolutionary morale was always high were meaninglessly consumed in unequal battles.

If these revolutionary veterans, who dared to continue fighting even in the face of the complete defeat of the main force of the revolutionary army, reunited under the unified red, white and blue banner of Robespierre's ruling government, they would definitely give Lin Haoda's army more casualties under more favorable terrain and unified and coordinated battles.

It is a pity that the generals of the First French Republic are too 'amateurs' compared to these low-level revolutionary soldiers, and the political commissioners who have the courage to fight to the end are still a group of military laymen, who do not know how to fight at all except shouting slogans and charging.

Robespierre's self-righteous veterans of the All-People War were thus greatly depleted by the first rout of the main forces of the revolutionary army!

As a result, when Robespierre's ruling government came to its senses and sent people to the front line of Caen to collect the rout, almost all the revolutionary veterans who really dared to fight and dare to rush fell under the guns of the Young Guard!

This is basically not much different from the total annihilation of the main forces of the Revolutionary Army of the First French Republic.

Because of this, a few weeks after winning the battle, Lin Haoda actually received the staged battle victory reward with more stringent reward conditions after the update, although it was the lowest level reward, but it also gave Lin Haoda a supplement to the 20,000 young guards!

You must know that after the whole battle, including the liquidation of those small groups of recalcitrant revolutionary militants, the troops under Lin Haoda suffered less than 10,000 casualties.

And the number of enemy troops destroyed by Lin Haoda exceeded 100,000!

After the defeat, many of the citizen volunteers threw away their weapons and went home to become 'good citizens', and the majority of Lin Haoda's elimination and capture were mainly the citizen volunteers supported by other provinces and the Revolutionary Army of the First French Republic.

The reason why Lin Haoda rewarded all the young guards was because he found that the best use in offensive and defensive battles was infantry, and the First French Republic, which was in a defensive posture, did not have the opportunity to start a field battle with Lin Haoda at all......

The scattered attacks and disturbances that the cavalry could use required a large number of troops to control the corners of the area, and those small-scale revolutionary recalcitrant elements would not attack the garrison of Lin Haoda's army at all.

In this way, the expensive cavalry units were naturally not as good as the relatively inexpensive Young Guards.

What's more, after taking down a city and a province, there are still a lot of garrisons to manage and suppress local French civilians, if the base of troops is not replenished in time, Lin Haoda will have to face the embarrassment of going deeper behind enemy lines, the fewer field troops used for the attack, and it is likely that in the end, because the territory occupied is too large, too many troops are apportioned, and the offensive intensity is not enough, and he has no choice but to withdraw the army, which is really a joke.

If the vitality of this kind of national revolution belongs to the level of small power, if we do not cut the grass and completely destroy the other party's regime on the bright side, give them a period of respite, and let Lin Haoda fall into the ocean of people's war.

This is what Jia Xu said at the beginning, if Lin Haoda did not have a full-scale war system to fight more and more wars, 100,000 people alone would not be able to flatten the Brittany region controlled by the ruling government of Robespierre of the First French Republic, and it is very likely that it will become the first foreign intervention army to attack France itself, because the offensive stamina is insufficient to withdraw troops, resulting in a series of collapses!

With the supplement of these 20,000 young guards, the total number of systematic troops under Lin Haoda's command has reached nearly 220,000, but because of Lin Haoda's yellow identity, in the occupied area, except for the war-torn young and middle-aged people who have suffered heavy casualties and the Paris region is quite harmonious, all other places rely on a large number of garrisons and administrative officials given by the system to maintain basic order and taxes.

Lin Haoda, with his victories in many battles, even though he firmly suppressed the French civilians in the occupied areas to break out into a full-scale revolution, the small-scale guerrillas and armed mobs were repeatedly banned, and many armed resistance elements were composed of locals.

It is difficult to dig out the nest of the guerrillas and armed resistance through espionage warfare, but because Lin Haoda's local garrison is very combative, the destructive power of the guerrillas and armed resistance has not affected Lin Haoda's actual rule.

When Lin Haoda was rewarded with 20,000 young guards, when he checked the personal information panel, he found that his million-level killing target had reached the level of 990,000/1 million, and he was only 10,000 people short of being complete!

Lin Haoda did not make too many killings this time because he was busy grabbing prisoners of war to fill the industrial logistics base in the Paris region, and he didn't think that such a big victory would not make up enough for the shortage of 100,000, however, now that the fighting has stopped, it is not war casualties if he wants to kill people again......
