C3006 The Balance of Victory (2/2)
Gan Bida's eyes were bloodshot, he drank the bitter coffee in large gulps to refresh himself, as he chattered nonstop.
”Hold on, my children, please hold on. The scales of victory are already tilting towards us, did you not realize that?”
Gan Bida was under his direct line of descent, but most of them were civil servants, so they were always in charge of more civilian work at the back.
They were the same as the Minister of the Interior with their sharp observation skills, they were not concerned with the battlefield, but with other aspects!
A middle-aged man with glasses said, ”Yes, the great reversal is about to happen, didn't you notice? The range of the Prussian's cannons is shrinking, our artillery positions are becoming safer and safer … ”
Another official drank a large gulp of bitter coffee. ”That's right, I have estimated that the frequency of the Prussian launching the Thorny Blade Battlefield increased by three times between three days ago and now …”
”What does this mean? This means that there's a problem with the enemy's supply, and their strength is being squeezed to the limit! ”
They were spent! The French did not know about this idiom, but they truly felt that the Prussian Legion was at the end of its tether.
Prussian army had already reached his limit in this war, they could not fight any further south. Although they had a lot of manpower, they would have to split it evenly in the vast northern part of France.
The huge army of one hundred thousand did not receive any support within three days. In the end, Prince Karl only assigned them a new army from the Bavaria.
As for ammunition, bullets, medical supplies and other war materials, they were even more scarce!
The continuous attacks of the French guerrillas had turned the railway transportation into a huge disaster. The earliest advantageous railway transportation efficiency had all turned into trash at this moment!
At the beginning of the battle, the Prussian cannons on the north coast of the Loire River were still very sharp. As soon as Napoleon fired his cannons on the French side, ten minutes later, the attack from the Krupp steel gun s arrived.
On the first day, the French army lost more than 300 cannons, while the casualties exceeded 2000. There were countless of damaged cannons!
But on the second day, it became clear that the Prussian was running out of firepower. Krupp's artillery shells were more concentrated in the charging French army, and there was very little retaliation against the French artillery positions!
On the third day, the sounds of gunfire from Krupp were even less frequent. Only when the most intense combat situation of the district was about to occur, and when the battle was about to end, would there be a round of fire to counterattack!
Everything had proven that the Prussian army could no longer move. Those arrogant Prussian soldier s' souls had obviously been destroyed in the three day battle of attrition!
The opposite of the Prussian was the more valiant the French army!
Don't look at how they died in battle on the battlefield, although their individual combat abilities were far inferior to Prussian army's!
However, the reinforcements from the south of France were constantly being replenished. The train lanes were filled with trains that were waiting to unload their cargo, and the new recruits from the southern provinces were flooding in.
”No matter how long the war lasts, we will always fight for the strength of our nation!” Gan Bida roared out like a red-eyed rabbit, ”Maybe good tactics and beautiful strategy to cheat will allow you to show off for a while!”
”But as long as our France persists, as long as the accumulated national power is mobilized! We are invincible! ”
The balance of victory had finally tilted, just as Gan Bida was continuing to give his speech to his subordinates to boost his morale, a special train came from the south, bringing extremely encouraging good news!
