Chapter 311: France Doesn't Give Up an Inch!

From tomorrow, this book will be updated three times a day!!

Napoleon was well aware that the navy would play an increasingly important role in this era of great change, so he continued to develop the French ironclad ships, hoping to expand to nearly half the size of the British. From 1860 to 1885, the British ironclads were built faster than anyone could have imagined, and in almost 20 years they built a main fleet of about 40 ironclads, and the French navy wanted to resist such a fleet, which, in Napoleon's opinion, could only be said to do its best.

So the crushing defeat of Cherbourg was also reasonable in Napoleon's view, after all, France had deployed less than two divisions here, and he was facing the main British force.

After the defeat of the French army at Cherbourg, they quickly moved in the direction of Calamp. Here they would build a second line of defense to stop the British army from continuing to advance, and once the British army occupied the entire peninsula, France would lose two important harbors, which was unacceptable to Paris.

"The task of preventing them from continuing south is left to the War Office, and it is hoped that Field Marshal Conrobell will be able to exert his residual heat one last time to prevent them from proceeding. This is a battle that will determine the fate of France, and I don't want to see any mistakes. The last step, when the Germans enter the game, even if the dust settles. ”

Napoleon finally told Conrobert that he would be able to hold the line. In the north of France, there is also a neighbor who watches their every move.

"Your Majesty Napoleon, I will definitely complete the task you have given me!"

Conrobert assured the president, word for word, that "we will never let the British cross the line!" ”

He looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and said earnestly, "It's not the mission I gave you, it's the mission of the whole of France." The strength and decay of the French in one fell swoop. ”

Domestic propaganda efforts have also gone very well, and the Tuileries Palace has avoided talking about Egypt and has instead played up the British invasion and compared them to the culprits who destroyed the glory of France half a century ago.

Patriotic sentiments were quickly recognized by the population, who condemned the shamelessness of the British invaders and resolutely gave the other side a firm counterattack.

The war machine of the whole of France has been mobilized, and the results of more than a dozen years of training will finally be tested today. The French love peace, but they have never been afraid of war.

When the British army landed on the peninsula, the newly formed Orleans Regiment rushed to the direction of Calamp to support, and they were ready to take down the British army in one fell swoop, and complete the task assigned by the Tuileries Palace.

Schneider's artillery began to join the war, and they were deployed in Calamp's position, waiting for the British army to attack.

Trenches, cannons, neighing horses.

The gloomy sky covered the land, the waves crashed against the reef that swept the shore, and every young French lad had a gloomy look carved into his face. It never occurred to me that there would be a war with the British invaders for the sake of my homeland.

Everyone clenched their guns tightly, and no one wanted to be a loser, let alone see a shattered France trampled by the invaders.

The Maxim machine gun is loaded and ready to fire.

The red figure appeared at the end of the smoke, and the British soldiers were approaching in the direction of the French territory, and instead of the traditional intensive attack, they finally opened a skirmish line after learning countless lessons.

For France, however, none of this matters.

They had artillery strength second only to the Germans, and having learned the lessons of the Franco-Prussian War, the French began to vigorously develop heavy artillery fire. Napoleon's nickname was the Emperor of Artillery, and in order to cater to his tastes, Schneider focused all his efforts on the development and production of artillery. Various types of artillery fire were developed to increase the attractiveness of the French military department. One time to consolidate their position in the arms market.

The first wave that greeted the British was Schneider's heavy artillery.

There was a sound of artillery bombardment from the rear of the trenches, and the soldiers hiding under the trenches looked up and saw countless shells speeding in the direction in front of them, the British had just routed the French soldiers who had no defense in Cherbourg, they were being defeated by the guns of the armored ships, and on the sea, the French were never the opponents of the British.

Because they have a strong navy to rely on.

However, this army red deer forgot that after going ashore, they could only rely on themselves. At this time, the ironclad ships had not yet been able to achieve long-range artillery coverage, and they had to face the French Imperial Legions on land.

The impression of France has changed for everyone. At this time, France was no longer the weak chicken that was pressed to the ground by Germany in the Franco-Prussian War, and in South Africa and Egypt, they fully proved to the British the gap in weaponry and tactical training, an imperial army that had been truly polished by the war.

"All the soldiers listen, take the Tuileries Palace, capture Napoleon alive, let's go!"

This sentence became the slogan and manifesto of the British army, who all believed that this time would be the same as before, and the French would be forced to retreat by the British. They chose to attack here in order to put the Tuileries Palace in a dilemma: whether to let the British army penetrate deep or the German army to cross the border and go all the way to the central part of France.

However, Napoleon would never let them go a step forward!

As they approached in the direction of Karamp, Schneider's artillery was also ready, and a new round of crushing began.

Bombing.

Artillery fire is slamming down on the British's head!

After an order, countless shells flew towards the attacking British, and although they were mentally prepared, the soldiers lost their minds at the sight of such sweeping artillery.

Wherever they met France, it was simply a German artillery attack!

A steady stream of steel cannon fire crushed and annihilated everything!

The shells fell in the charging camp of the British soldiers, and the strong explosion directly overturned the machine gun position, and the soldiers were shocked to several meters away, and were directly torn to pieces by the artillery fire.

The wails of pain, the sound of bullets passing by, and the explosion of falling shells make up this tragic symphony.

The heavy artillery fire finally made the British retreat and temporarily hide from the enemy's edge.

They had thought that having routed the French army at Cherbourg, they should not encounter much resistance next. However, it was only when the French artillery units were actually deployed that they finally felt what it meant to be despairing.

Despair from which there is no escape.

The British Army was bombed so that they could not raise their heads, and the fierceness of the French artillery was far beyond their imagination, and everything in front of them was blown away, forcing the other side to not advance.

An impassable river of fire appeared before them! If you want to move forward, step over this land that burns with gunsmoke and cannonballs!

France doesn't give up an inch of land!
