Chapter 399: The Guerrillas' Compromise

"This time, the Imperial Staff is so stingy that they are not even equipped with a Maxine heavy machine gun, and that good Dreiser rifle, not a single one of them has been issued to us! Although the European revolutionary army also used backward flintlock pistols, we have no advantage in weapons, how can we fight with so many revolutionary troops? ”

Mondora sighed, although he commanded more troops this time, he felt what it means to be abandoned for the first time......

"Don't worry, my lord, the empire is also doing this to avoid the leakage of the technology of those weapons, we only have so many people to the white people's home field, the emperor and his old man will definitely not hand us advanced weapons......

However, this time with the help of the British, and at the same time there will be local guerrillas to help, so they may not be in a weak position when fighting! ”

Apardo relieved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Since the Empire wants to guard against the leakage of ordnance technology, why did it equip us with so many Armstrong rear-loading heavy guns this time?"

"As far as I know, the British have long developed the technology of breech guns, but because of cost and failure problems, they have not been installed on a large scale in the army, not to mention that the Empire's new rapid-fire field gun has been preliminarily sampled, and it is only a matter of time before this heavy and high-failure Armstrong gun becomes obsolete.

However, the Armstrong breech gun was extremely powerful, and it was used in siege and land field battles, and it had a huge advantage in the face of those backward front-loading smoothbore guns, which was more than enough to deal with the revolutionary army! It will increase the chances of our expeditionary force to win a lot!

I think that the Armstrong artillery we carry is already ninety percent of the Empire's inventory, and it is the last time to exert residual heat, and this kind of artillery will also become a witness of the 'friendship' between the Empire and the British, otherwise, the Empire has nothing to pay, how can the British send their own elites to help us attack Spain in vain? ”

After hearing this, Mondora touched her shaved head unhappily, and said in a muffled voice: "So, we should also be regarded as a 'collateral'......"

Appado smiled bitterly: "We should be the pawns used by the empire to contain the forces of the European revolutionary army, the empire does not want to really help the Europeans to quell the war, and does not want the revolutionary fire to continue to spread, so it sent those of us who are not up or down to contain it, although the ultimate task given to us by the Imperial Staff is to support the representatives of the Clouey family to establish a royal government in Spain, but the number of years given is as long as ten years!"

Obviously, even the empire itself is not confident in our success......"

The corners of Mondora's mouth twitched: "It's not that the empire doesn't have confidence in us, but the empire didn't have the luxury of succeeding at all!"

We're just a bunch of valuable cannon fodder! ”

Appado lowered his head and replied in a deep voice: "Having said that, we still have a chance after all, we have also heard of the military science and technology level of the empire, in less than ten years, no one in this world will be able to stop the empire's army, as long as we can hold out for ten years, in the end, it is good to be able to say that the emperor above our heads is a real old and immortal monster!" ”

The look of fear in Mondora's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject: "How long are we going to stay in Moroccan ports?" ”

"The British have already heard that they have reached an agreement with the Portuguese and Spanish guerrilla leaders that British troops will land with us in Lisbon, Portugal!

This landing should be very easy, because the Portuguese have already driven out the French Revolutionary Army, and maybe we will have one more Portuguese Allied army at that time, hehe~"

"Oh? Is our Portuguese Allied Army the Army of the Republic, or the Army of the Kingdom? ”

"It was the army of the Provisional Government of Portugal, and although the British had reached an agreement with the Portuguese, and the Portuguese guerrillas had given up the idea of establishing an unreliable revolutionary regime, the British did not dare to restore the Kingdom of Portugal at once!

Because they were afraid that they would be targeted by the French Revolutionary Army! ”

"Hmph, it's really funny, the British and Portuguese openly call the Spaniards brothers, but secretly let those Spanish guerrillas attract the main force of the French Revolutionary Army, they really don't care about the life or death of Spain."

"Hehe, don't we care about the life or death of the Spaniards?"

Mondora and Appado looked at each other and laughed out loud, if it weren't for the military order, they would rather live in North Africa for ten or eight years!

In the spring of the 56th year of the Han Dynasty, following the northern offensive of the coalition led by the Russian Empire and the central offensive of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the last British and Han Empire allied forces landed in the capital of Lisbon, Portugal, and gathered the government troops adapted from the Portuguese guerrillas to attack the French Revolutionary Army that suppressed and slaughtered in Spain itself!

The Spanish guerrillas, who were almost one-sidedly suppressed, finally ushered in a rare opportunity to turn over, leading the LinkedIn army and the Han army led by Mondora along the way, attacking the French stronghold everywhere, and at the same time increasing the attack on the logistics of the French Revolutionary Army!

For the first time in Spain, the French Directory is facing a real crisis!

The British obviously made a bloody effort this time, including the integrated Portuguese army and Spanish partisans, the British gathered nearly 200,000 troops to fight the French Revolutionary Army in many battlefields!

And the famous Clouy Guards of the Han Empire made the French Revolutionary Army taste the power of the unseen!

A large number of veterans were dispersed, further reducing the control of the French Directory in Spain!

In order to save the situation in Spain itself, the French Directory had to draw a large number of veterans with actual combat experience from the main force attacking the small Germanic countries and put them into the Spanish theater!

At the same time, it also completely tore off the last face and launched a brutal massacre against the disobedient Spaniards!

After all, the local Spanish guerrillas played a key role in the fact that the British and Han armies, who were unfamiliar with the country, were able to achieve such great results!

The French Directory, which had stopped the fighting in the Germanic region, gathered nearly 400,000 revolutionary troops and fought with the coalition army with the Han Empire expeditionary force as the main force for several days.

Moreover, due to Mondora's defeat in this battle, all of the Armstrong heavy artillery was destroyed during the evacuation, that is, Mondora's troops lost almost all of their heavy weapons......

However, just as the French Revolutionary Army was celebrating its victory, the main British force arrived in time to annihilate the largest French army left in Spain!
