Chapter 70: Hard Street Fighting Five
A temporary infantry regiment consists of ten full line infantry companies, and even excluding the drummers used to 'sell cute', a complete temporary infantry regiment has more than 1,500 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More blue sea spread to the first horizontal main road, after the first batch of the most determined and agitated citizens of the National Guard were killed and wounded, the fighting beliefs of the citizens of the National Guard who came to support later were obviously a notch off, and the ordinary citizens could say that those ruffians were just the citizens of the National Guard who came to make a profit, and after seeing the tragic hand-to-hand combat with the line infantry, they involuntarily began to rout backwards!
The shortcomings of the National Guard's expansion without a threshold were finally revealed at this time, and the National Guard, which was already at a disadvantage in the war, was defeated by a group of ruffians who were not enough to achieve enough things and more than to lose......
After more than half an hour of hand-to-hand fighting with bayonets at close quarters, the barricade defense line at the first intersection was completely broken, and the citizens of the defeated National Guard had no choice but to rely on the houses and other bunkers behind them to fight and retreat, and the line infantry of the three temporary infantry regiments, except for the first vanguard infantry regiment that rushed forward because the battle damage was too serious, and a large number of officers had to be withdrawn and regrouped, everyone else followed the defeated National Guard and rushed to the second crossing.
The small barricades scattered along the street were unable to resist the general trend, and they were quickly dispersed by the line infantry until they reached the National Guard barricade line, which was heavily defended by the second horizontal main road.
After the tentative attack was pushed back by the second line of crossroads, the pursuing line infantry had to temporarily abandon the idea of attacking and turn to clear the citizens of the National Guard who had been fired with black guns in the houses on both sides of the main road!
The citizens of the National Guard who dare to stay are undoubtedly the kind of citizens of Paris who have firm beliefs or really can't live happily, and if these people don't clean up, it will be very fatal for Lin Haoda to come out and make trouble when he attacks again.
Lin Haoda looked at the first temporary infantry regiment that retreated and reorganized, leaving only more than 600 intact soldiers, and his face couldn't help twitching, this is not counting the losses of the last two temporary infantry regiments that supported and the battle losses of the light infantry, it is conservatively estimated that Lin Haoda lost at least 1,500 people in this attack!
He still underestimated the brainwashing belief in the National Guard, the first intersection barricade line, densely covered with corpses, the entire ground was stained red with blood, the corpses in blue military uniforms and the corpses in shabby sans-culottes were intertwined, and even many sans-culottes were dragging the line infantry to die together with the same fate......
Even Lin Haoda, who had seen a lot of dead bodies, couldn't bear to look at this scene directly......
Even so, the battle in the complex between the first intersection and the second intersection is still in full swing, and among the huge number of soldiers in the National Guard, there are still many mud legs who have been thoroughly agitated to fight to the end with the king's autocracy.
These underfed Parisians were bewildered by a sea of pies drawn with a bright future, as if they were able to live in heaven as long as the revolution was victorious......
The reason why enlightened democratic ideas can motivate the masses more than the ignorant religious ideas of ancient times is that democratic ideas have rigorous logical explanations.
Enlightened democratic thinking will deeply analyze the various shortcomings of the contemporary social system, give ordinary people an enlightening understanding, and then let them know what to do in order to get out of this dilemma of life, even if not for themselves, but also for their own children.
The demagogic power of this kind of thinking is undoubtedly more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the so-called religious thoughts, after all, although everyone talks about heaven and God every day, who has really seen God or heaven?
However, the idea of enlightened democracy speaks of what people have experienced, and the good society it depicts is also methodical, but it ignores a key point and ignores the greedy nature of human beings.
It is true that according to those democratic ideas, the big guys can indeed live a good life, but the people will not delve into who will preside over and manage the social system under that ideology after the victory of the revolution?
A good life is not as simple as taking off the monarch's hat and replacing it with a republic!
If you want to truly realize such a beautiful society, the first premise is that all managers, that is, government officials, must abandon their selfish desires and become a well-known blue sky master......
Unfortunately, this is too difficult and too difficult, even in the 21st century, in a society with a well-established supervision system, the problem of corruption cannot be solved, let alone the backward 18th century.
Therefore, it is almost a sure thing that the fruits of the revolution will be earned by the bourgeoisie and the liberal aristocracy, because the important leaders of the revolution, all of whom are propertied people!
And the propertied are either capitalists or aristocrats!
The bourgeoisie and the aristocracy are simply watering the flower of power that is about to bloom with the blood of the people's revolution!
The 'things' that the capitalists and the liberal aristocracy want are very simple, King Louis XVI officially bowed to them, and all other freedoms, democracy, equality, fraternity, etc., are just slogans used to fool people, and you can't tell the mud legs below that you overthrow the king's autocracy, and we nobles and capitalists can take power......
Of course, the people are not stupid, and how will the people react when they realize that they have been deceived?
This question is not what Lin Haoda needs to think about now, because the bourgeois revolution itself has not been completely victorious, let alone the post-revolutionary situation......
Lin Haoda, who was a little hesitant to continue the attack due to huge casualties, immediately strengthened his confidence to fight to the end after seeing the corpses of Parisian citizens who far exceeded his own!
If someone hears Lin Haoda's voice at this time, they will definitely think that the devil has come to the world......
Lin Haoda, who was looking at the corpses of the French people, was filled with one thought - with such a large number of killings, if he completed the task of capturing the Paris City Hall, how many historical smashing points would he be rewarded!
This ticket must be done, this is a task that is larger than the number of killings in the Bastille, and the reward will definitely not be weaker than the former.
Lin Haoda already has a vague idea of the task reward evaluation criteria for the all-out war system, the more enemies killed during the completion of the mission, the more generous the reward!
