The return of Sholin marked the beginning of preparations for the Spring Offensive of 1723. Spring attack is a very risky move. If the war affects the spring ploughing, the harvest in the following year will not be satisfactory. Even, it affects the quality of life of people in winter. This will test the accumulation of food by the force itself, as long as the food is accumulated enough, even if it affects the future, there will be nothing to do.

Shawling has a self-confidence, and Shawlin's goal, the French do not have this ability. The French had been beaten before, and all they could take away were small pieces of regular gold and silver. You can't take much of the food with you at all. Even if they could take it away, they wouldn't take it, and if they didn't have money and food, those French nobles wouldn't agree. In addition, another 30,000 people were recruited as recruits, and 30,000 people were left to farm, so there was already a shortage of food. Even, the French began to send warships to fish to fill the food gap.

People pointed to this spring ploughing, but Xiao Lin received specific news. Therefore, Shoren was to attack the French at the most important time of spring ploughing. The primary goal of this operation was to seize a sufficiently large entrance to the sea. With access to the sea, Izuk's fleet had a port where it could dock and repair. And the missile boats, submarine hunters, frigates and destroyers he bought from the 21st century have a large enough place to dock. Without an entrance to the sea, should all these ships be parked on land as fixed batteries?

Xiao Lin talked to the sun god that as long as he obtained an entrance to the sea, he could help Xiao Lin set the teleportation position in the sea mouth. For the sake of his fleet, which was strong enough to dominate the Pacific, Sholin had to get a suitable outlet to the sea. Then, using the company's industrial capacity, a shipyard and naval port were built. This time, Ijik also received an order to assist the army in attacking the selected site. This time, four field brigades were dispatched at the same time, and three garrison brigades, followed closely behind, and were responsible for taking over the defense.

The Night Stalkers' battalion was the first to be dispatched in small groups to clear out all French scouts on the front line. The whole battalion of night owls was first equipped with the Type 81 gun family, except for the snipers, using the Yanhuang II Type A precision sniper rifle recently developed by the company itself. The others used Type 81 assault rifles and Type 81-1 assault rifles. Replaced with new weapons, the Night Stalker's mountain combat capabilities were greatly enhanced, and in just one day and one night, all the French scouts who had been lurking were chased out of the front line.

Then a hundred heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment arrived. After a winter of manufacturing, 10,000 rounds of ordinary shells were again produced. Enough for this use, the French also learned their lesson and never again resorted to fortress fortifications. The fortifications of the fortress have been proven, and it is impossible to block the power of heavy howitzers, only the trench fortifications can barely block it. At great expense, the French gained enough experience from the British to build good trench fortifications.

However, the British are all two knives, and the French have learned these three knives, but they still can't do it. The anti-artillery holes were not built well enough, especially without cement fixation, and half of the anti-artillery holes collapsed after being bombarded by heavy artillery. Of course, the trench fortifications of the entire front line still did not collapse too much. Apache arrived first with a brigade and immediately launched an attack, fortunately with two types of rifles of Type 56, the effective range of which was about 300 meters.

The fighters of the 1st brigade, first of all, set up their machine guns and began to cover the infantry attack. The mortar follows the infantry to the front line, and as long as the defense of one point is strong, the mortar will hit it. One brigade, three thousand people, all five or six types of firepower, that is really not something that the current French can withstand. The French lost half of their territory, and even if they succeeded in copying both the revolver and the yellow gunpowder, they would not have enough raw materials and enough factory manpower to produce them.

Relying on front-loading muskets, the intensity of fire is not enough if it is not aimed at all, and if it is aimed, it is difficult to achieve results within less than 100 meters. The Apache 1st Brigade had just entered the position and the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade and the newly formed 4th Brigade had joined in. This was not a full-scale attack, but a point break, and the four brigades got together and broke the trench fortifications of 30,000 French troops in two hours. The 30,000 troops of the French were left behind by the company's four field brigades.

If there is not much difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, plus Carrot has a bit of courage, these 30,000 people should take advantage of the weakness. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Yanhuang Trading Company was exhausted, he attacked the company's land with all his might. However, the combat effectiveness of the more than 20,000 soldiers of the French was really poor. Now the people of the garrison division and the militia division have begun to change into five or six types. Only the newly formed militia division fighters will use the previous Yanhuang Type 1 rifle.

Together with the light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns that were retired from the main division, the combat effectiveness was much stronger than theirs. Carrot didn't have the courage to figure out the goals of the four field brigades. In order to grab some money, if they want to engage in decapitation tactics, the four brigades can directly break into the current colonial administrative center, and then kill all the military and political leaders, including Carrot. In this way, the French were completely powerless to resist.

Not to mention blocking the company's next all-out attack, even the British will definitely show a great appetite and encroach on more French territory. Therefore, more than 20,000 recruits, who were urgently recalled by Carrot, were in full swing, digging round after circle of fortifications. But unexpectedly, the people suddenly made a U-turn, changed the line of attack, and turned to a small fishing village ten kilometers away. This is a small estuary to the sea, and it is also a medium-sized fishing port on the French side.

However, because it is a fishing port, it does not have much military and economic value, and there are not many soldiers guarding it at all. When Carrot realizes that something is wrong, he mobilizes his army and prepares to defend the fishing port and ensure that there will still be enough fish and shrimp for food. Here, it has already been captured by four field brigades. There are 13,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are the same as those of the Chinese Army in the mid-20th century, how can the only a few thousand ordinary militiamen in the fishing port be able to support it.

By the time they arrived, the men of the four field brigades had already set up defensive positions. Four brigades carried a hundred heavy howitzers, sixty of which were set up against the sea, and all ships that were 1.5 kilometers away from the fishing port were within their range of attack. And the other forty gates were on the landing side, imitating the French to snatch them. Carrot didn't know why the enemy had to seize this fishing port, so he fished, and that shouldn't be. Don't think he doesn't know, the British export raw materials to the company all year round, including all kinds of frozen seafood.

The seafood was then turned into delicious canned food for export to the British colonies. Even the French themselves, there are many people who buy it, and the French meal has not yet formed a perfect system, and it is not yet well-known in the world, compared with the company's mature 21st century cooking skills, it is still a little worse. Could it be that the news that came before that the Yanhuang Trading Company itself also has a fleet is true. If the company really had a fleet, then it would be necessary to seize a port.

The sea conditions here are still good, but there are more reefs below. For Xiao Lin, this is nothing, the reef can be blown up with the explosives in Xiao Lin's hand, and if it is tidied up, it can be expanded into a dock of about 1,000 tons, plus a large port enough to berth a 4,000-ton destroyer. The construction team arranged by Xiao Lin has already started on the road under the escort of the garrison division. All three important cities along the way had fallen into the hands of the garrison brigade and were still very safe from being attacked by the French.

Carrot thought about it, but decided that he should try it. Fifteen thousand troops were drawn up, and all the twenty-five remaining warships of the colony were brought close. Anyway, he just had one idea, he had to stop everything that Yanhuang Trading Company wanted to do, and he couldn't let him get anything that the company wanted to get easily. It's just that relying on the strength of the French now, it's a bit unacceptable.

Unbeknownst to Carrot, the Native had already begun to think about abandoning the French North American colonies because of this defeat. Originally, France did not rely on the colonies to convey benefits. Even if it is to rely on the colonies to convey benefits, it is not on the side of the North American colonies. Because of the presence of the British, on the North American continent, two colonies existed with each other, one with its own frictions and contradictions. Many of the interests of the colonies were mainly used to arm the forces of the colonies.

No way, if you don't arm, the British will be armed. When the British outnumbered them in the North American continent, it was the time when the French lost these North American colonies completely. In addition, the distance is too far, even if there are some benefits every year, once the transportation arrives, there will not be much left. In addition, in the past two years, because of the continuous war with the British and the Yanhuang Trading Company, not only could they not transfer benefits to the mainland, but they needed local funds to maintain the development of the colony.

If it weren't for the yellow gunpowder and revolver that Carrot got them, they would have copied a good weapon, and the local people would have severely reprimanded Carrot a long time ago. Now, the mainland has begun to think about whether it is time to abandon the North American colonies. The colony was also full of down-and-out nobles and commoners who couldn't survive, as well as all kinds of criminals and gangsters who were driven out by them. Abandoning them is not something that is reluctant to cut meat and be reluctant for the natives.

As long as you can get enough profit from this colony, then there is nothing to sell them. The king of France, having consulted with his ministers for a long time, has tilted the scales in the direction of selling out the colonies.
