C2945 Paris First War (1/2)
”Reporting, General. We have discovered a French military camp up ahead. Over a thousand French troops are undergoing training.” Now they've found out where we are … ”
Luo Huo put down the telescope and said with a sneer, ”Is this the garrison unit from Paris? I just saw them training in the playground... These f * cking new recruits! ”
”1st Battalion Undertaking Rapid Assault... The Second Battalion flanked from the right, breaking through to... ”Let's end this quickly!”
The training camp soldiers that were newly recruited to the Bobini near Paris became the first place to shoot during the attack and defense of Paris. A thousand garrison unit soldiers who had only been armed for less than three months were ambushed by two battalions of Chinese cavalry.
All the Frenchmen did not expect the enemy to arrive so quickly. This morning, they had just announced the New Deal of the Republic, and as a result, 12 hours later, at 6: 30 in the afternoon, a Chinese Cavalry appeared in the northern suburbs of Paris.
”My God! Did they fly here? Didn't they say the Chinese were fighting in Sedan? You can get to Paris in forty-eight hours? ”
The straight line between Sedan and the map of Paris was 170 kilometers. If they were to actually march, their distance would extend to 200 kilometers and their 48-hour march would be 200 kilometers. This was already a terrifying speed.
The speed of the cavalry had never been a simple math problem. If it was just based on the speed of the horses, it was possible to travel 300 kilometers in a day.
Historically speaking, the Mongol cavalry fighting in Europe could be considered as the standard way for the cavalry to advance on a large scale. However, the powerful Mongol cavalry regiment s could only travel 80 to 90 kilometers per day.
This was already the fastest speed the cavalry could muster, but today, this record had been broken by the Chinese. This caused the defenders of Paris to be terrified.
Completely unprepared, all the Military experts in Paris believed that the enemy would need at least three to four more days to get close to Paris. Three to four more days was enough time for Paris to build more defensive positions and recruit more soldiers.
Who would have thought that the Chinese would be able to travel 200 kilometers in 48 hours? Were they riding mechanical horses? Don't you want to rest?
”Emergency Collection... ”We need to assemble urgently …” There was a lot of shouting and screaming in the barracks, and the officers pulled out their horsewhips to drive the new recruits into a shooting formation.
There was no cover to defend against, the training camp did not even have a wooden fence, because no one expected to meet an enemy today!
”Distribution of ammunition … Distribute Ammunition... ”
The soldiers had already given up all hope. They saw the black mass of cavalrymen charging towards them, but they didn't even have time to distribute ammunition.
The dusty Chinese soldier lowered her body to minimize the wind resistance. The rifle in her hands was already full of bullets and after a round of shooting, she would have to rely on the impact from her war horse.
”Stabilize the Charge Faction...” Steady... Our warhorses were just snatched up at Montelei, and we have plenty of horsepower … ”
”Smash them, crush them …” Kill! ”
How did a miracle come about? After the war, countless reporters asked the Chinese officials and soldiers, but they all said the same thing: ”Snatch!”
That's right, it was a robbery along the way. The assets left behind by France and the resources that had not been delivered to the battlefield had all become the spoils of war for the invaders.
He didn't know whether to snatch it or not, but after snatching it, he was shocked. The French family's wealth was unimaginable!
Almost all of the railway stations were inexhaustible warehouses for the Chinese. Arms and ammunition s, fodder and medicine, as well as the war horses were all being transported to the north.
