All ......

The 75mm French Miss rapid-fire cannon roared continuously, and in an instant, the French walls and other scattered fortifications in front of them were smashed into rubble.

The French soldiers, armed with Shaspo-style firing pistols, had completely lost their command system and were running around the city like headless flies.

In this era, there were no full-fledged anti-artillery holes, and those simple craters would turn into a sleek crater if they were hit by a 75mm French Miss rapid-fire gun, and the French soldiers hiding in them could not find even a corpse, and the lucky dead might be able to leave some fragments and pieces of flesh from their uniforms......

Lin Haoda, who had obtained sufficient supplies, was clearly bullying the French army with powerful firepower, just like the Battle of Bali Bridge in the Second Opium War 11 years ago, when the Anglo-French coalition army used superior artillery to pear the positions and houses of the Qing army over and over again, and forcibly blew up the 'elite' of the green battalion with absolute superiority......

At that time, the elite iron cavalry of the Eight Banners, the reason why they did not want to launch a decisive charge to the position of the British and French coalition forces with complete guns and artillery was also a helpless move, and the Qing army was not a fool, so they couldn't watch themselves bombed and not fight back!

It's a pity that the Manchu elite Eight Banners who charged to the death were the same as the so-called 'elites' of the Green Battalion, and after paying the price of casualties that shocked the British and French forces, they didn't even touch the enemy's skin!

It was also the tragic battle losses of the Manchu Eight Banners in the Battle of Bali Bridge that made the Manchu generals, including Seng Lingqin, completely chilled, and completely lost the belief in resisting the British and French forces......

When a weapon is powerful enough to a certain extent, it can really make people feel desperate, especially for the kind of soldier who is not strong in willpower!

Now the French army that was stopped in front of the first division of the expedition led by Lin Haoda was facing this desperate mood.

The city of Paris did not border the Prussian occupation zone, and Lin Haoda wanted to take over with the Prussian army, and he first had to eliminate the intercepted French garrisons.

These local French garrisons were not the 'King of Diligence' army that had been transferred by the government of the French Third Republic, which had been stewed in a pot, but were supposed to monitor the reorganized French forces of the Prussian army.

This is also the practice of various countries, as long as they have the ability, they will station a force on the border of the enemy's garrison to defend it.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of these reorganized French units, at least their strength on paper is still adequate.

With the arrival of the French reparations one by one and the retreat of the Prussian Corps from the six eastern provinces of France, these temporarily reorganized French units will face a new round of elimination and reorganization to restore their pre-war combat effectiveness.

One can imagine how big the combat power of such a French army, which was improvised and put together!

In less than half an hour after the 100 75mm French Miss rapid-fire guns of the 1st brigade brought by Lin Haoda opened fire, the entire French position fell into a state of no command, and a large number of deserters threw away their weapons and fled to the periphery of the position......

Quite a few French soldiers even mistook their enemies for the Germans!

I don't want to think about the direction of the opponent's attack......

In order to better defeat the main army of Prussia stranded in France, Lin Haoda brought a large group of grenadiers, a large group of Maxine heavy machine guns, a large group of 75mm French Miss rapid-fire guns, and ten German No. 3 tanks.

However, although Lin Haoda transferred all the special troops, he left an entire standard division of mobilized troops in Paris and Versailles to garrison and maintain the supply lines of the expeditionary force.

It was under the management and dispatch of the provisional government headed by Jia Xu.

During the mission, Lin Haoda could regularly obtain military supplies such as ammunition and fuel from his designated supply depots, which naturally required a large number of mobilized troops to be transported from the city of Paris to the front line of the troops.

This is the reason why Lin Haoda left an entire infantry division of mobilized troops to be a logistics unit.

Anyway, on the front line, Lin Haoda occupies an absolute advantage in artillery, and when attacking, he can also use the death line made by grenadiers and Maxine heavy machine guns to engage in non-contact warfare with the enemy, and use the weapon advantage to mass-kill and injure the enemy!

A Maxine heavy machine gun placed on the high ground can easily suppress the fire output of a battalion of French troops using Shaspo-style firing pin guns.

In this era, due to the poor long-range aiming of the firing pin gun, there were no professional snipers, and the Maxine heavy machine gunners who suppressed the fire were still relatively safe.

There are 75mm French Miss rapid-fire guns to suppress the slaughter at long distances, Maxine heavy machine guns and grenadiers to suppress at medium distances, and rifles with a faster rate of fire at close range.

Lin Haoda didn't even use the German No. 3 tank, and the general's unstable French garrison was crushed and successfully occupied the French city.

The French garrison of the city was not as heroic as the garrison guarding Paris, and the Han army could still persist in street fighting after rushing in, and in European wars, soldiers were rarely willing to fight in urban street fighting, because the destruction of the city and the 'accidental injury' of civilians were too great, and secondly, it was too dangerous for the soldiers.

Most importantly, the defending forces do not want to reduce their cities to ruins, as this will not necessarily lead to victory, but will provoke the attackers to retaliate even more!

Generally speaking, European prisoners of war who lay down their arms can survive, but if they resist to the end, it may not be......

Looking at the wars on the European continent, the weaker the resistance and the faster the troops who lay down their arms, the higher the survival rate, and the Europeans paid extra attention to face and honor, and they would not slaughter a group of captives without a sense of honor and combat effectiveness.

It is precisely because of this tradition that the Italian army in World War II, the incidents of surrender as a formation emerge one after another, in the eyes of the Italians, their own lives are much more important than honor, anyway, compared with the German army, they have no honor at all......

Self-abandonment is the most terrible!

Like the Italian army, there are not a few European armies that have become dogs and pigs against the wind, but Italy, as one of the world's great powers at that time, performed so poorly, which is even more memorable.

The morale of the French troops, who had just been trampled under the feet of the Prussians, soon appeared in large numbers to drop their weapons and surrender, and then, in amazement, they saw a group of yellow-skinned soldiers coming to take over their surrender!
