Chapter 96: War of Attrition V

With a bang, the solid wood house was pierced through a big hole, and the line infantry in blue uniforms hiding behind the wall wiped the fine cold sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest, and muttered two sentences of 'God forbid', although he didn't really believe in God, but in the rest of his life after this kind of catastrophe, there are still many life and death crisis battle moments, it seems that only this can make him feel better......

After the sporadic shelling, the familiar shouts were heard again, and the line infantryman, hiding behind the wall, could not understand why the gang on the other side was willing to fight, even sacrifice, for freedom and democracy! Will freedom and democracy allow them to marry a beautiful lady or eat a French meal?

Do you need to pay for your life?!

However, even if he didn't understand it, this line infantry reflexively poked his head out from behind the cover with his colleagues, raised his flintlock pistol and aimed at the main force of the National Guard in white uniforms rushing up!

The red, white and blue tricolor that never seemed to fall, was so dazzling and terrifying in the eyes of the line infantry!

The line infantryman could no longer remember how many attacks the other side had launched, he only knew that his physical strength was being challenged, and there were only more than twenty people left in his company......

The company of 160 men was full of more than 20 men, and the line infantryman felt that he should retreat and rest and replenish in any way, but the second lieutenant commander who held the command knife behind him never received any orders from his superiors or any reinforcements in the troops......

The idea of surrender once again appeared in the minds of the exhausted line infantry, but when he thought of the scene of his own soldiers who had surrendered before, he was tortured and killed on the spot by the angry National Guard, he had to give up this beautiful idea, and raised the weapon in his hand again, I don't know when it began, in this street battle, the reason for him to fight was no longer loyal to Lin Haoda, but survival!

Persist and survive in luxury!

What the line infantry on the front line didn't know was that Lin Haoda didn't support not because he was willing to watch his own army being annihilated by the formation, but because his line infantry had all been withdrawn!

From the early morning of the 21st, until the sun was shining at this time, Lin Haoda's troops had been fully utilized to the extreme, except for being a killer grenadier!

Under the command of the Marquis de Lafayette, the commander of the professional counterpart, the numerical advantage of the National Guard was fully carried forward, and the simultaneous attack at multiple points, the consumption of the new force in waves, and the reckless bombardment of artillery, so that the strength of the armed resistance to which Lin Haoda belonged was gradually weakened.

The superiority of the National Guard Corps in terms of personnel can make every attack, every battle, and the soldiers who are launched are recuperated personnel, while Lin Haoda's troops are limited, and he has always been forced to fight on the front line, just like this line infantry who is recovering his strength, with an interval of less than half an hour, a new wave of enemies has rushed to the front......

After firing only one shot, this line infantry had to raise his bayonet and form a simple bayonet horizontal formation with his teammates around him, and screamed and squeezed the last bit of strength in his body to thrust forward!

However, the follow-up soldiers of the National Guard, easily using the corpses of their compatriots in front of them, knocked the physically exhausted line infantry to the ground, and the frightened line infantry subconsciously shouted in French: "Don't kill me, I surrender, surrender, I will never fight as a soldier again......"

The crying pleas for mercy did not arouse the sympathy of the red-eyed soldiers of the National Guard, and it was this group of 'blue demons' who blocked thousands of their own people all morning at this small street bend, and the corpses of their compatriots in white military uniforms were spread from the street to the end of the street!

This team of blue demons, which has a total of no more than a thousand people, has caused more than half of the casualties to thousands of National Guards, and has been holding on to the present, it can be said that from top to bottom, there is no one in the attacking National Guards who are not full of hatred for them!

The soldiers of the National Guard, who were lying on the ground with bayonets on their backs and unable to get up, first looked at the streets around them where their superior forces had crushed only a few tired defenders, and then took a moment to mock the line infantry prisoners under them: "Surrender? When you slaughtered thousands of unarmed prisoners of war, did you think that they also surrendered? Die, you bloody demon! ”

With a snort, the rusty bayonet pierced the neck of the tearful line infantry on the ground under the vigorous stabbing of the middle-aged man, ending the future of this poor creature thirsting for life, however, the National Guard soldier who stabbed the line infantry to death pulled out his bayonet in anger, and pierced several bloody holes in the opponent's corpse as if venting, before he put away the flintlock pistol and followed the team in front.

At the edge of the crowd of the National Guard soldiers stepping on the line of infantry, a 6-pounder infantry field gun that was destroyed due to too much firing remained there alone, and the system artillery waiting for this gun had already withdrawn one step ahead, and less than 1,000 line infantry could block the main force of the National Guard several times their own continuous high-intensity attack, and it was precisely because of the credit of this artillery that the artillery was damaged until there were only more than 200 people left in the defenders!

Before the bombing, the professional artillerymen actually knew that the barrel had reached its limit, but the National Guard, which was pressing step by step, forced them to use this desperate fighting style, and the bombing was better than being defeated and captured......

Battles like this street line are fought in more than a dozen places from the Bastille to the Hôtel de Ville in Paris!

In each place, there are thousands of main forces of the National Guard with the cooperation of an untold number of armed citizens who continue to launch offensives, and the Marquis de Lafayette either snatches, captures, or privately casts dozens of artillery pieces of various types, ensuring that the main force of the National Guard can comprehensively suppress Lin Haoda's armed forces in terms of firepower in addition to numbers!

Even if Lin Haoda separated the artillery team to guard the 4 traffic arteries that could not be lost, he still could not stop the endless and endless attacks of the National Guard!

The main force of the National Guard, which was trained by the Marquis de Lafayette, has more tenacious willpower to face casualties, and in the face of defeat, after surviving the initial huge casualties, it is the dilemma of Lin Haoda's weak successor!

In the street battles of this era, as long as there is enough will to fight, the number of people will become an important weight to crush the scale!
