257 Demolition of the city of Marseille
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
While Brittany was facing the terrible democratic rule of Robespierre, and the Girondist bourgeois National Guard in the Vendée was clearing the remnants of the rebel clergy and aristocracy, Lin Haoda was leading his men all the way to more than a dozen towns.
Due to Lin Haoda's bloody suppression of the rebels, most of the militia forces dispersed when they saw the Iron Cross Eagle Banner and became 'good citizens' again.
As a result, the municipality of Marseille was interested in mobilizing the whole Marseille region in the way Robespierre did, but not many citizens and farmers who were really not afraid of death followed......
Because Lin Haoda's army is almost invincible, for most French people, it is better to suffer a little crime and be a "**" than to die on the battlefield or be arrested and executed in defeat.
When revolution and death were clearly placed in front of the eyes of the French people, the original fanatical mood quickly cooled down, and even the best agitation ideas and theories could not be changed under the most basic survival instincts of human beings......
Those low-level French people who were willing to die for the revolution did so because they believed that the revolution would be victorious and that their children and families would live a better life after the victory of the revolution, but after the collapse of the main force of the revolution, even the illiterate Frenchmen understood that the revolution was almost hopeless......
At least, that's what most people in Marseille think, it's their men who are defeated!
The Marseille city government can break out so many elite young people to join the army, which has consumed a lot of the working population in the Marseille region, which belongs to the limit before the national mobilization and war policy, even so, it has been crushed by Lin Haoda, how can the Maasai people not despair?
Is it true that it is enough to fight for a generation of talents?
Because of this, the Marseille region was completely 'recovered' by the Young Guards led by Lin Haoda in just one month, and only the last birthplace of the Marseille revolutionary forces remained - Marseille City.
Marseille was not only the birthplace of the Revolution, but also a very prosperous port city, which was of great importance to the Latin American faction, most of whom represented the interests of colonial lords and maritime merchants.
The city of Marseille, which was controlled by a completely radicalized group like the radicals, had no one to say anything about the offer of surrender and reconciliation, and under the pressure of Lin Haoda's military power, the city gathered more than ninety percent of the original revolutionary supporters of the Marseille region who were still alive.
The Marseille city government, which is controlled by the radicals, uses the firearms accumulated in the city of Marseille to reorganize these staunch revolutionary diehards, known as the Marseille Revenge Army, to avenge the 100,000 Maasai Revolutionary Army slaughtered by Lin Haoda!
In fact, at this time, they continue to stand firm and aggressively faction the Marseille City Government, and continue to oppose Lin Haoda's army like a car, almost all of them have a blood feud with Lin Haoda's army.
The annihilated Maasai Revolutionary Army and the attached logistics miscellaneous service, each of them has a family behind them, and normally speaking, in order to leave a seed for the family business, often not all the men will be sent into the army as soldiers, and if they all die in battle, will they not be extinct?
Therefore, under Lin Haoda's shocking massacre all the way, thousands of enemy families were created, mainly because Lin Haoda's large-scale pit killing of prisoners of war was too much, and completely angered those French who had relatives and friends who died under the Iron Cross Eagle!
It is rare for a man like Lin Haoda to be killed on the battlefields of Europe, and in France, where national ideas are rising, such behavior is undoubtedly even more hateful.
The power of hatred is no weaker than that of revolutionary thought, and when the name of righteousness is combined with the power of revenge, it will make people really crazy.
Therefore, even in a disadvantaged situation, the Marseille city government still relied on Lin Haodala's hatred value to establish a Maasai revenge army of nearly 100,000 people.
However, the Maasai revenge army was a bit watery, and it was filled with a large number of old men and children, and even able-bodied women......
The Marseille municipality has gathered the weapons of so many people, which is not an easy task.
In order to resist the attack of Lin Haoda's army, the entire city of Marseille was made to resemble the urban area of Paris in the early days of the French Revolution, and every street could see the ditches and barricades built everywhere, and Lin Haoda's sweep in the Marseille region gave the people of Marseille enough time to build a defense system.
Marseille's position at the back of the city allowed Lin Haoda to attack him last......
When the Marseille Avengers were intent on turning the city into the grave of the Young Guards of Lin Haoda, more than eighty percent of the wealthy and unwanted civilians in Marseille fled the 'fortress city', which was about to be turned into a battlefield.
As long as the citizens who do not really support the Marseille city government, those who can leave the city as much as possible, the Marseille city government is also happy to see this situation, because the population of Marseille city is small, and the consumption of living materials will naturally become less.
In this way, the leaders of the radical faction of the city government of Marseille turned the city into a war base, and preached political ideas among the Maasai revenge army all day long, claiming to hold out to the last man, so that Lin Haoda's army would shed blood and completely dismantle the dictatorship of this alien regent.
At the end of 1792, Lin Haoda's army finally attacked the periphery of Marseille, and more than 100,000 troops completely surrounded the entire Marseille city, leaving no way to escape.
Lin Haoda, who had an absolute advantage, was naturally unwilling to let go of these revolutionary insurrectionists who took the initiative to gather together.
The radical faction is a more radical and brainless organization than the Jacobins, except for the scientific, rational and strict discipline system of the political parties in later generations, there is no difference in ideology, and fighting against the army under the leadership of the radical faction, Lin Haoda always has the illusion that he is fighting against the Soviet Red Army led by the political commissar......
Being charged back and forth by the cuirassiers more than ten times can be maintained, this morale is definitely something to be proud of among the countries of the European continent.
Therefore, this time, Andingguo intends to completely wipe out the city of Marseille, no longer by attacking the cities of Paris and Versailles, but from the outside, with artillery and a large amount of black powder, the entire city will be demolished little by little.
In this era, there were no machine guns and mortars, and even hand grenades were very backward, and the defenders under the ruins could not fight with any superiority in battle losses.
The reason why the street fighting in World War II was terrible was mainly because of the great lethality of mines, machine guns, grenades, mortars, assault guns, etc., which were light and heavy weapons.
