249 Under the Engagement

The rumbling cannon sound came from the front line position of the Marseille Revolutionary Army not far away, and Colonel Rogers, who was dressed in gunpowder smoke, paced to the big tent in the rear command center, and slammed the tall military hat on the large square table with the marching map, and all the generals of the Marseille Revolutionary Army were all sent by Qin Xue'er to see God and his old man.

Therefore, in the highest-ranking command camp of the Marseille Revolutionary Army, the highest rank is the colonel of the same rank as Rogers, which is why Colonel Rogers did not hide his anger in his heart.

Because all the generals were 'killed', the Maasai Revolutionary Army had to adopt a command meeting model similar to that of the municipal committee to coordinate the combat cooperation between the various divisions and regiments, and naturally, the colonels with the highest rank except for the generals became the participating members of this general command meeting, except for the colonels in charge of the flanks and rear, because they were too far away from the front line to stay outside this command camp, and the colonels in charge of the command of the main combat soldiers of the front line stayed here.

Because Qin Xue'er was confused by Lin Haoda before the assassination mission, she had a lot of resentment in her heart, and when she killed all the generals of the Marseille Revolutionary Army, she found that the security system of the Marseille Revolutionary Army was several times behind that of the Tuileries Palace, so she killed nearly half of the colonels......

This was absolutely fatal to the Marseille revolutionary army, and the colonels who were originally in the position of regiment commander or deputy division commander had to be promoted to temporary division commanders before they were newly appointed by the distant Marseille city government, and some of the colonels who were originally high positions even had to command two entire divisions and regiments to fight!

Of course, the Marseille Revolutionary Army, which started with the revolution, followed the principle of relative fairness, with great rights and great responsibilities, and the colonel commander who commanded the two divisions naturally had to undertake the most difficult combat tasks and lead the troops to stay on the front line.

Colonel Rogers is such a colonel commander, so he doesn't need to give anyone in the commander-in-chief's tent a look at all, whether it is his movements or expressions, it perfectly explains how angry he is at this moment!

"The revolutionary fighters on the front line have been bombarded by hundreds of large-caliber field guns for more than an hour, but you are chatting here with a comparison on the combat map? Are you worthy of the dead revolutionary fighters and the generals who died for the revolutionary cause?! ”

Colonel Rogers' roar could even be heard clearly by the guards outside the camp, and one can imagine how 'wonderful' the faces of the remaining senior officers of the Marseille Revolutionary Army in the camp were.

In the revolutionary army, this accusation was already very serious, and the municipality of Marseille was the first to shout 'Liberty, equality, fraternity, or die!'" If the regional regime with radical slogans really produces revolutionary traitors, it can even be saved in wartime and shot on the spot!

The revolutionary troops that rise from the bottom are often full of 'contempt' for human life, and although they keep shouting that the life of every revolutionary soldier is a precious propaganda slogan, if something really happens or they are defeated, they will not show mercy when they are killed for the sake of discipline and discipline.

Everyone is from the bottom, there is no intricate interpersonal relationship in the original regime, and there is no past glory and noble identity, if you do wrong, you have to take responsibility, if the shoulder leader does not have the 'background' to take responsibility, then you can only use your life to compensate!

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the revolutionary army, the supreme commander often did not execute the officers below as long as it was not a major mistake, after all, after losing the battle, the biggest pot still needs to be carried by the supreme commander......

To put it mildly, if it weren't for Lin Haoda's current enemy, before the new general appointment of the Marseille city government arrived, the Marseille revolutionary army that had lost its general would have been a proper mess, and these officers would have been worthy of their conscience if they could not shirk their responsibilities to each other.

In the old warlord and aristocratic system, because of the emphasis on human feelings, there were few cases of on-the-spot executions, and everyone was willing to pay attention to the rules and use their mouths to solve problems, rather than pulling out guns at every turn, like the revolutionary army......

However, it is precisely because the revolutionary army is ruthless to its own people that it makes them even more ruthless to the enemy, and a unit that can shoot its own people on the spot at every turn, you can imagine how terrible its madness is!

"Colonel Rogers, Lin Haoda's artillery far exceeds ours in number and has a longer range than ours, so can't we leave the fortifications and force an attack?" Colonel Marshull, dissatisfied with Colonel Rogers' roar, retorted in a deep voice.

Just as Colonel Rogers was not afraid of the colonels present, the other colonels did not have to obey Colonel Rogers' orders, and their military ranks were not democratically elected, but were appointed by the city of Marseille on the basis of merit and 'revolutionary activism', so Colonel Rogers was not afraid of offending most of his colleagues.

He was really forced to be anxious, and all the soldiers who were bombarded on the position were his soldiers!

The Marseille revolutionary army, which had the idea of defending and counterattacking, naturally did not put all its main forces on the front line, and it was enough to stabilize it with two divisions guarding there.

Colonel Rogers glared at Colonel Marshur fiercely like an angry bull: "Richard (Colonel Marshuer's name, Westerners generally use surnames to match positions, and calling them by name is either a close person or showing impolite contempt for the other party, or a superior to a subordinate.) Why can't we take the initiative to attack? Is it better to let the revolutionary fighters shrink behind the fortifications and be killed by shells than to die in the road of the charge? If this kind of bombardment continues, how much of a difference will the fortifications we built still play? Instead of being bombed and losing troops to demoralize, it's better to fight the fuck! ”

Being accused of such a 'faux pas' by Colonel Rogers, Colonel Marshuer's face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he didn't care about the basic 'friendship' between his colleagues, and replied in a dark voice: "If Colonel Rogers has the courage, he can take the initiative to attack with your men, and no one here will stop you." ”

Colonel Rogers laughed angrily: "Hehe, Richard, are you trying to persuade me to die?" 100,000 troops are placed here, so let me lead two divisions to attack the elite of Lin Haoda's department with hundreds of artillery protection? Are you the same virtue as Lin Haoda's centaur and those corrupt and depraved aristocratic mercenaries?! ”

"Colonel Rogers, since you don't dare to take the initiative to attack, what kind of cheek do you have to accuse us? If you really take the initiative to rush out, I Richard respects you as a man, otherwise you don't make a big deal of nonsense here, don't think that there is no general here, you are the king of heaven! Colonel Marshur sneered.

"Okay, okay, now that the enemy is present, do you still want to have a fight among yourself? Don't let Lin Haoda's yellow-skinned monkey take advantage of the loophole. ”

Colonel Benicio on the side spoke up.

"Fighting is not my business alone, if you want to charge, you can only hope to win by leading people to rush together, the combat effectiveness of Lin Haoda's army, you have already seen it through the information of the first battle of Valmy, those former Union soldiers who dealt with the Prussians and Austrians are no worse than our soldiers, but they are still defeated in the case of numerical superiority, and the strength of two divisions alone cannot shake Lin Haoda's front at all, so I propose that the whole army attack!"

"No way!"

"Impossible!"

"You're crazy!"

The three colonel commanders present stopped each other in their voices.

Colonel Rogers swept over Colonel Marshuer, Colonel Benicio and Colonel Hetman, who had been watching the play indifferently, and said with a sarcastic face: "Why, when I heard that I was going to take the initiative to attack, they were all intimidated?"

"Colonel Rogers, you need to calm down now, according to the latest intelligence, the army led by Lin Haoda this time is a carefully selected elite, and there are signs of fanatical personality cult for Lin Haoda, and the morale is very high, and Lin Haoda has privately selected a group of professional heavy cavalry troops at some point.

If we were to attack with the whole army, we would not only have to fight a group of fanatical elite troops in the open field under the crossfire of hundreds of large-caliber guns, but also be ready for a surprise attack by heavy cavalry with powerful impact at any time, which would undoubtedly be fatal from a military point of view! Colonel Benicio explained to Colonel Rogers in a serious tone.

"I firmly believe that every soldier who participates in the revolution has a heart that is willing to dedicate himself to the revolutionary cause, I and my soldiers have long been ready to become the cornerstone of the victory of the revolution, we are not afraid of death, in the past combat effectiveness, has been confirmed, in the face of the righteous and high revolutionary morale, any army of the old forces is like a paper tiger stabbed and broken, what, Lin Haoda is not a typical representative of the old forces?

A yellow-skinned gringo, running rampant on the land of France, I don't think any Frenchman of blood can endure this disgrace, even if it costs me my life, I have no regrets!

I would now like to ask you, after putting on this colonel uniform, whether your original heart of freedom and equality has been corroded by the rotten bureaucracy and life-saving doctrine, and has lost the most precious fearless spirit of a revolutionary soldier!

Is the slogan "Long Live Freedom" a cry from your heart, or a perfunctory appeal on the surface of formalism?!

I'll say what I'm thinking now, and if you continue to watch the revolutionary fighters on the front line huddle behind the earthen wall and be bombed, only to know that you stay in the safe rear tent and pretend to be a girl on the map, I, Rogers, will sue you to death in the city hall of Marseille!

The glorious French Revolution doesn't need you cowards! “

Colonel Rogers' sonorous voice slammed into the hearts of the other three colonels, and the faces of the junior officers and guards around him were flushed.
