C282 The tragic case of the Besanthus. (1/2)
Sima Yun's resistance troops and the reinforcements that Xiao Hexin had brought did not exceed 150 people, but they were facing an enhanced camp of more than 400 people, so the difference in numbers was obvious.
But the difference in numbers can be made up by a combination of qualities, and the arrogance of the French eventually makes them lose out.
Firstly, there was the difference in manpower quality. This French battalion was not considered as one of the top trump cards in the army, otherwise they would not be placed here to guard the Besanthus. The real trump cards were on the German-French border and in the colonies around the world.
But Xiao Letian's new army was different. This was an army that was trained according to the standards of the special forces of the later generations. That's right, this was the reserve of officers for Xiao Letian's future army, every single warrior was qualified enough to hold the position of Queue length.
In addition, the new army had received training in the fighting techniques of the Dragon Lord, and many of them had even had Jianghu backgrounds. They had all learned martial arts since they were young, would these kind of people be afraid of physical combat? They were eager to use their bayonets to kill the enemies one by one.
The biggest flaw of the French army was not only that. The entire battlefield was completely filled with the French army's strategy of adding oil to the oil. This group of French soldiers probably never received training to gather in the night before. Furthermore, because they were in their own land, they never thought that enemies would attack their Besanthus, so they were in a very relaxed state.
When the emergency whistle sounded, most of the French troops were in a dazed state of waking, either unable to find their pants or unable to find their rifle bullets.
This group of soldiers were like a flock of ducks that could not be grouped together into a single unit. They would rush out of a single unit and form a platoon.
In this type of replenishing tactic, the number of enemies the new army faced never surpassed two hundred. This small time difference was the key to victory.
Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun had already grabbed the opportunity, they were tightly sticking to the French army. The two groups of people were fighting in the darkness like wild beasts, constantly keeping the French army busy, which made it impossible for the enemy to use their ranged firepower.
The newly-formed army and the French army clashed violently like two torrents, and each time they clashed, a bloody light would appear. This group of French large nose were really tenacious, they had been repelled three times and they were still charging up.
The fighting strength of the Chinese was shocking to the French as well. They did not expect the soldiers with the oriental face to be so ruthless and tenacious. They would not retreat even if they fought as little as possible.
Gradually, the will to fight of the French started to waver, and waves of shouts could clearly be heard from behind the army. Xiao Hexin and the rest did not understand what it was, but they could feel the terrifying atmosphere spreading out.
Just when the new army was guessing what the French wanted to do, they suddenly retreated like the tide, and the two armies instantly opened up a distance of more than ten meters.
”The French retreated?” Xiao Hexin looked at the fleeing French Army in shock. Suddenly, a few German words flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning.
”Cannon...” Field artillery... Step Cannon Cooperate... ”F * ck, the French are going to fire their cannons and charge at everyone!” Xiao Hexin was so shocked that his skull started to crack.
”Sima Yun... ”With our brothers in tow, the French are going to fire …”
Almost at the same time, in the darkness directly in front of the New Army, a streak of fire flashed, followed by a thunderous explosion.
「 Boom! Boom! Boom!」 Smoke and dust rose from the back of the group as the air blast knocked down the newcomers who were closest to the explosion. It was all thanks to Xiao Hexin's loud roar. After a few more seconds, there were more than one or two lives saved.
Right now, the one who was in front was Sima Yun. Almost at the same time as Xiao Hexin, he realized the intentions of the French army.
”Twenty Deathsworn, follow me, fight your way through the enemy ranks and get rid of the cannon positions …” While speaking, the last hand grenade on Sima Yun's waist rang out, blowing up the French army that was retreating.
These lunatics that Xiao Letian brought out were all Death Soldiers. Ever since the night of that Tyrant's Blood War, Xiao Letian had left a trace of madness in the hearts of this group of soldiers.
More than ten hand grenades exploded into a gap amidst the French army, and under Sima Yun's lead, dozens of new army members pierced towards the field gun's position like light blue poison daggers.
”Cover, cover the guns, maintain contact with the enemies, press on …” Shaw led his brothers to load Spencer with bullets, then tilted the fire to the enemy's head.
The bronze field gun's retreat was something that the French Battalion Commander had just pushed out of the camp. Right now, the distance between them and the new army was only about 400 meters, which was a piece of cake for the new army that was used to living in the wild.
The night battle was never a stage where cannons could show off their strength. Just now, by borrowing the light from the Molotov Burn Bottles, the six field gun s could be considered to be somewhat successful. However, when the new recruits chased after the French army and left the burning field, the artillery soldiers immediately became blind.
”Battalion Commander, we cannot fire because we do not know the enemy's situation. Right now, it is a chaotic battle, we must retreat. It is too dangerous to persevere any longer …”
