Chapter 93: War of Attrition II
During the daytime offensive on the 19th, in the afternoon, the National Guard had weakened, and the fighting enthusiasm of the French people seemed to be only 'a shot of strength', and the line infantry could finally counterattack after surviving the difficult and cruel fighting time at the beginning!
Due to the strong momentum of the National Guard, which had just begun to attack in the morning, they advanced to the Paris City Hall with a large number of human shields, and cut off a section of the main road between the Bastille and the Paris City Hall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But in the afternoon, the National Guard, which had suffered heavy casualties and lost morale, was pushed back by the line infantry led by Casio, pushing the battle line back to its original position.
This time back and forth, it seemed that neither side had taken advantage of anyone, but the pain was only clear to the respective commanders......
Larry. After receiving the information about the battle damage after the loss of the newly occupied positions in the afternoon, Tolandal, the temporary commander of the National Guard, gave the order to stop the offensive with a slight trembling arm.
The 30,000 formed National Guard Forces he brought with him lost thousands of people in just half a day!
And that's not even counting the armed citizens who were temporarily co-opted and the original National Guard forces were routed!
There is no longer even a need to lay out new barricades in the most intense battles, because the corpses stacked on top of each other are the best obstacles in themselves......
The battle damage report that Lin Haoda got was more detailed, and more than 3,000 line infantry were gone......
It's only been less than a day, so many people have died, according to simple mathematical calculations, Lin Haoda can hold on for another 4 days?
What made Lin Haoda feel speechless was that after the end of the battle was opened, the all-out war system carried out campaign statistics, that is, after the end of this battle, the rewards of historical smash points would be uniformly calculated and distributed......
What a cheat!
Of course, fighting a war is not a mathematical calculation problem, and Lin Haoda lost so much on the first day, mainly because the National Guard Force was at the stage of the highest combat morale, and naturally fought the most fiercely.
Lin Haoda initially chose a defensive posture in order to use the advantage of the defender to wear down the will to fight of some of the National Guard Forces instigated by the revolution, and then launch a counteroffensive!
You must know that the entire grenadier vanguard regiment was hidden by Lin Haoda and did not use it, just to maintain their physical strength and strength, and to strike a fatal blow to the National Guard when they launched an attack!
There was too much blood shed in the bloody battle during the day on the 19th, and both sides coincidentally chose to clean up the corpses and tidy up the battlefield, if these corpses were not disposed of in time, it would be easy to cause a plague after decaying!
The plague is a big killer that does not distinguish between the enemy and me, Lin Haoda may not care about the life or death of the soldiers under his command, but he himself is not immune to the virus, what should he do if the plague breaks out?
With the medical conditions of this era, in addition to relying on one's own constitution to stiffen oneself, one can only pray to God, Allah Allah, the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Buddha, Zeus and other great gods for blessing......
Lin Haoda didn't want to hand over his life to the blessings of the gods, so he hadn't even thought about the plague's strategy of killing a thousand enemies and ending himself......
The contact-transmitted plague is easy to prevent, but the killing effect is very weak, and the airborne plague has a strong killing effect, but Lin Haoda himself cannot protect against it......
Total Warfare does not provide a Plague Protection set......
Moreover, the all-out war system reminded Lin Haoda that if he really contracted an incurable disease, he would wait for death......
The reminder of the all-out war system is not to warn Lin Haoda not to use the plague means of destroying mankind, but to ask him to pay attention to the development of local forces in health and medical technology after taking power, because as long as Lin Haoda is not defeated and killed, the only thing that threatens his life is disease.
However, the Total War system also gives Lin Haoda a hope, and when his reputation level breaks through level 10, there will be additional surprises waiting for him!
So, try to level up, boy!
After the battle, the corpses left behind actually gave Lin Haoda's army an unexpected benefit, that is, a large amount of ownerless ammunition and military rations!
The soldiers of the National Guard were very poor, and they had no extra property except for a flintlock pistol, and some of the soldiers of the National Guard did not even have a flintlock pistol......
However, there are too many corpses of soldiers of the National Guard!
What's more, there are more than 3,000 corpses of line infantry left behind ammunition and rations!
When the line infantry came out, each of them had a hundred pieces of ammunition on them.
Judging from the course of the daytime battle on the 19th, even the living line infantry consumed no more than ten rounds of lead bullets on average after a day of fighting......
After all, the line infantry had to hold their bayonets and stab the enemy after firing a few shots, and they were forced to stab each other when defending, and they took the initiative to stab each other when attacking, in short, it was the right 'stab'......
Therefore, most of the soldiers on both sides were killed by bayonets, not by buckshot, which is the essence of street fighting......
The light infantry who really consumed the buckshot were the light infantry who provided fire support, and they fired dozens of bullets in the day's battle, even if they were equipped with twice as many ammunition as the line infantry, that is, 200 ammunition, but this kind of high-intensity combat could not withstand a few ......
Therefore, the collected ammunition was mainly distributed to the light infantry, and it was enough for the line infantry to have their own ammunition and bayonets!
In modern wars, it is precisely because of the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol that the demand for ammunition is very low, and in addition to long-term battles, the logistical pressure on ammunition is not great, and sometimes it is not as great as the pressure on the supply of food......
At least for Lin Haoda now, the rate of food consumption is definitely faster than ammunition!
Fortunately, in one day on the 19th, the National Guard reduced Lin Haoda's mouth by more than 3,000 mouths......
This is also a self-deprecating comfort......
On the night of the 19th, Lin Haoda reorganized the incomplete formation of the line infantry after the war, and the line infantry that had been tempered by blood and fire and reorganized was still relatively obvious in terms of combat effectiveness, and he believed that in the battle on the 20th, he would definitely be able to teach the National Self-Guard a impressive lesson!
On the 19th, the National Self-Defense Force consumed enough during the day, if nothing else, Lin Haoda will order the rested army to attack the area controlled by the National Guard during the day on the 20th!
However, when the early morning of the 20th fell, there was an accident, and last night, the Marquis de Lafayette had already entered the city of Paris with the main force of more than 60,000 National Guards!
With these more than 60,000 fresh troops, Lin Haoda no matter how arrogant he is, he doesn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and attacking the energetic National Self-Defense Forces with weak military forces is no different from suicide......
