C2661 Nocturnal Fire and Bloodbath (2/2)

Eleven warriors perish here with the French!

Before the fire on the west side of the town had completely died down, the ambushers hiding in the north and east of the town could see the flare in the sky.

”Ouch …” The two platoons of the first battalion have already succeeded, they have attracted most of the main force over! ”

”Very good, now it's our turn to sing! ”Attack!”

In the dark night, figures akin to agile cats began to rapidly approach the earthen walls. The moment the guards were distracted, they rapidly broke through. Gunshots and explosions rang out one after another, and the north and east of the small city immediately fell into a bitter battle.

The defenders of the city had wanted to rush out to chase down the attackers from the west, but when they saw that the enemies were attacking from the rear, they immediately knew that they had fallen into a trap.

”The ones in the west are suspicious soldiers! The enemy's real direction of attack is in the north and east... Reinforcements! The main force will return to support! ”

Freeman was an important border town, directly opposing the German border city Salbrucon. Moreover, there was an important railway line that needed protection, so France had put in 3,000 elites here.

How could it not be elite soldiers that were able to withstand the sea of flames? To be able to launch a white blade assault without being commanded by an officer was basically a veteran.

Unfortunately, even the most elite soldiers could not replace the important role of officers, and Freeman, as a small town in France, did not even have a real general, and the two regiments were actually not even equipped with a single brigade or division.

During the entire night, the two had a lot of conflicts with each other, so they couldn't determine the intentions of the Chinese. It was clearly just a harassment battle, but they thought it was the enemy's main attack.

Of the three thousand people, they split up into half to guard the railway line, saying that they were afraid that the enemy would barge in and destroy the station and the railway line. From this, it could be seen how outdated their thinking was.

Prussia viewed the railways as a treasure trove. If they attacked France later, they would need the railways to run their supplies. How could they blow them up?

Unfortunately, the two incompetent Guild Leaders were not aware of this point, they had already thought that the Prussian was here for the railway, and in the end, half of their troops were locked on both sides of the railway, which had no effect at all.

The remaining one thousand five hundred people became dead tired stupid dogs. The police kept calling from all four sides of the city, and their legs were almost broken from running.

When the West City encountered an enemy attack, they would immediately send troops to the West City. In the battle between the North City and the East City, they would also have to pass through the city to provide support.

The night's assault lasted until half past three in the morning, when no one dared to sleep.

After they lost the rabbit eye celebration the next day, they were saddened to discover that their side had lost more than 390 members after a night of harassment.

Although there weren't many people, the effect on morale was fatal. Looking at the burning down third of the small city, all the French army had a bad premonition.

”Damn it, these Chinese even dare to harass Freeman. ”How messy are the other places going!”

His guess was right, that night, the northern border area of Mace City was turned upside down by the Chinese. Countless camps were raided, and many warehouses were set ablaze.

Even the vanguard unit's snipers shot and killed three of the France's Second Army's scouts and Rangers!

Waiting until Flosad, the commander of the Second Army, received the latest news, he kicked the coffee table in front of him in irritation.

”How dare you!” These Chinese people were too arrogant! Order the army to finish their breakfast within twenty minutes, and capture the Salbrucon today! ”

”I want to capture Xiao Letian alive and offer him to His Majesty as my captive!”
