C1937 French prisoners (1/2)
The employees of the Canal Company, regardless of whether they were from Europe or the locals, they were all commoners. If they saw a shining bayonet, anyone would have to take care of their own life first.
In their eyes, no matter where the foreigners came from, as long as they had big guns and guns, they would have a reason for doing so. Seeing these eastern faces even more vicious than the French, they all scattered in fright.
Was there no French garrison around the canal? Of course there were, but most of the heavy soldiers were stored at Port Said and Port Suez, and the rest at Nile's side, Cairo and other places.
In these small towns, there was a company, and a platoon of troops at the very least.
The guards in the camp looked at the group of Chinese Army s who looked like wolves and tigers, and then looked at the Zhiyuan Warship's head-thick cannon.
On one side, the bullets were loaded and fully armed. On the other side, they were dozing off and didn't even have their boots on.
”Surround... Disarming them! ” Groups of Chinese marines charged into the barracks. The French didn't even have time to organize a resistance before the arsenal was raided.
The entire barracks was filled with shouts and curses. Just as the sentry at the entrance was about to fire a warning shot, several figures pounced on him from behind, pinning him to the sand.
The French probably felt that they were too confident in their rule of the place. The so-called military camp was actually just a row of wooden houses with no walls, a few barbed wire fencing out an open space, and five or six houses with a company of soldiers stationed inside.
This was a high point on the eastern outskirts of Ismailia, overlooking the town and the canal behind it. It was a typical strategic location.
In order to be absolutely safe, Pang Chaoyun and Ma Hui had gathered over two hundred people to ambush the army camp. However, they never expected that there were less than a hundred people in the entire army camp, and that it could not even be considered as strengthening the army.
The sentries were all tied up, and the remaining brothers cut through the barbed wire and swarmed in. They pointed their rifles at the soldiers vigilantly. In order to increase the fire rate, the class leaders even brought out a few Spencer.
However, what was shocking was that there was no resistance at all within the camp. The windows were opened and the wooden door was opened by a crack, revealing a wide range of sleeping faces.
”Oh God... ”What time is it? What are people doing outside …”
”God! ”A devil is ambushing us …”
The room was a mess, and no one could blame them for their shouts. Soldiers with their faces painted with paint did not exist in this era, and camouflage did not appear until the end of the second world war.
And these Chinese marines who were trained during the special forces training were covered in yellow camouflage cloaks, and their faces were painted with oil paint. They looked like ghosts or something in the dark.
”Where are my boots... Where are my pants... ”Damnit, why are you wearing my clothes …”
”Rifle, raider prepare for battle …” The quartermaster, where are our bullets? ”Damn it, the armory has been sealed off by the devils outside …”
Pang Chaoyun's face was full of awkwardness, he thought that these Frenchmen should be worthy of the reputation of the world's second strongest military power, why is it not even as chaotic as the Eight Flag Green Battalion?
”Horse Back …” Do you still remember how you looked when the Da Gu Kou was carrying the spear for the Qing Dynasty? Isn't that a bit like it!? ”
Ma Hui looked embarrassed. ”Why do you bring this up?” It was years ago... ”Everyone, listen to my orders. Attack the wooden planks and windows with your bayonets. Assassinate!”
