278 Defeated the main force of the revolutionary army

Bang~Boom!

The sound of gunfire and artillery roared in the city of Caen, and after the 'trench defense law' was demoralized by a simple grenade, several trench lines that the Revolutionary Army of the First French Republic had worked so hard to dig were completely broken in just one day, except for the thousands of corpses paid by the Young Guards in attacking the first line of trench defense, the rest of the battle was as easy as dispersing a group of armed mobs.

The rapid collapse of the outer trench defense law caused the morale of the revolutionary army of the entire republic to fall to a terrible critical point, and even the auxiliary citizen volunteers became shaken, except for the city of Caen itself, where the morale of the citizen volunteers remained high under the concept of defending their homeland, all other parts of the revolutionary army units were full of pessimism about the victory or defeat of this battle.

Had it not been for the encouragement of the political commissioners sent to the army by the National Salvation Committee to deepen their ideological education, I am afraid that the main force of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic, which had been pressed into the city of Caen in one fell swoop, would have completely collapsed long ago.

It's a pity that Lin Haoda's foreigner identity is too hated, and the history of wantonly slaughtering the French people has also made many revolutionary soldiers hate the same enemy, even if they can't see the hope of victory, they are still unwilling to lose to Lin Haoda's army.

Thus, the difficult siege street battles began.

Of course, the street battles in Caen were far less intense than those in Paris, Versailles and Marseille, and Brittany still had a large territory, and the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic did not realize that they had died in Caen.

This kind of thinking is very tragic for the enemy is strong and weak Republican Revolutionary Army, after the outer defense line of Caen City was quickly broken, the city wall of Caen City was not blocked for half a day, it was breached, if it were not for the citizen volunteers of Caen City to withstand the incoming young guards with their lives, I am afraid that the city government of Caen City has planted the Iron Cross Eagle Flag, but now it seems that it is only a matter of time before Caen City is planted with the Iron Cross Eagle Flag.

In front of the last barricade line of the Caen city government, a citizen volunteer of Caen City dressed in civilian clothes, while checking the ammunition he had left, cursed contemptuously to the regular revolutionary army of the Republic that had just been defeated not far away: "A group of white nerds (the military uniform worn by the regular revolutionary army of the Republic is a uniform white style), under the attack of foreign butchers, they can't hold out even for a day, and they are not as good as our militiamen, if it weren't for that Lin Haoda who killed people without blinking, Lao Tzu would have stopped fighting a long time ago!" ”

"Okay, Jet, in fact, you can't blame all these brothers of the regular revolutionary army, who is ordered to stay in the pit and be blown up by a grenade, but there is no way out, and they will run for their lives, this is not called fighting, this is purely sending to death! If you want to blame the generals who talk about the army on paper, I really don't know how the great leader Robespierre could choose such a group of stupid guys as the commander of the revolutionary army. ”

"You two stop complaining, the tyrant's army is up again, ready to fight!" A volunteer commander of Caen City came over to remind, he glanced at the number of soldiers still alive, sighed helplessly and added: "If you are unwilling, prepare a 'glorious bullet' for yourself, we have done our best." ”

After hearing this, Jett and the others' faces darkened, some of them silently tied the black powder explosives that had been prepared to their bodies, and some of them were stupidly there, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Long live the regent!!"

At this moment, a clear roar was heard in the distance, and then the Iron Cross Eagle Banner fluttering in the wind sprinted forward quickly with the flow of people.

Jett and the others reflexively raised their flintlock pistols and pulled the trigger at the young guards rushing up in the distance.

As Jett reloaded, he saw his allies coldly, and the Revolutionary Army of the Republic, with the cry of long live freedom, followed the forward red, white, and blue tricolor over the barricade and met the sprinting Young Guards.

Jett watched the fighting between the two sides, and couldn't help but think: "These revolutionaries from the regular army are still a bit bloody and brave." ”

However, within 10 minutes of Jett's idea, the red, white and blue tricolor flags fighting in front of the barricades suddenly fell, and the Iron Cross Eagle Banner continued to rush here, while the soldiers in white uniforms only knew how to flee backwards!

The blue wave overpowered the white wave, Jett smiled miserably, slowly picked up the explosive bag on his side, and when the hideous young guards rushed up, he lit the fire rope, and stood tall in this world, holding a large amount of black powder explosives in both hands and shouting: "Long live the republic!" Freedom wins!! ”

After speaking, he jumped into the side of the young guards who rushed over, and then was stabbed into a flesh gourd by a bayonet as a matter of course, Jett coughed up blood, while silently counting the number of young guards around him who had no time to escape, and there was only one thought left in his heart: "Lao Tzu pulled three cushions, this wave ...... No loss ......"

Bang~~~

As Jett's explosives roared, the last barricade line burst into a violent roar like firecrackers, blowing up the Young Guards who had already broken through the defense......

However, after surviving this wave of intense suicidal resistance, the following Young Guards easily planted the Iron Cross Eagle Banner on the barricade building, and the majority of the Young Guards continued to advance towards Caen City Hall.

A day later, Lin Haoda rode a high-headed white horse, under the heavy protection of the Young Guards, stepped into this city full of gunpowder smoke, everywhere you can see the citizens of Caen City who were forcibly driven to clean up the ruins and corpses, all over the ground are littered with red, white and blue tricolor flags that are thrown away at will, full of bullet holes, a team of hands held high, all weapons have been confiscated, and the regular army of the Republic wearing white military uniforms passed by Lin Haoda's team, and was pressed by the Young Guards to the camp on the periphery.

After the other party laid down his arms and surrendered, Lin Haoda was naturally reluctant to order them all to be killed, not to mention, this practice of leaving prisoners of war with a life can also make the resistance morale of other Republican Revolutionary Army troops collapse.

In addition to the regular revolutionary army of the Republic wearing white military uniforms, there are also many citizen volunteers wearing civilian clothing, these are all troops supported from other cities, it is not difficult to find that these prisoners of war are all young and strong men, not that there are enough young and strong people in France in Brittany, and the age limit is also for recruitment, but because all the prisoners of war who do not meet the age of coolies have been secretly executed!
