C3044 Shopinis breakthrough (1/2)

On November 2, old General Trochu suddenly ordered his army to break out of the Shapini area. This small town, which was nowhere to be seen on the map, became the focal point of the battlefield.

This order was given very abruptly. The old general didn't give the army any time to prepare at all. From the moment the order was given to explode into a bloody battle, the preparation time was less than twelve hours.

For a great battle involving over a hundred thousand people, the preparation time was only twelve hours. If it were placed in any country's military exercise book, it would be considered a huge violation of the rules.

However, the old general could do nothing about it. The security in Paris was full of holes and the figure of Qi Bolin's airship could often be seen in the sky. The movements of the troops on the ground could not escape from the eyes of the sky.

Even if Bei Feng were to shout out these few days, causing the airship to be unable to fly into the sky, the old general still could not guarantee the safety of the huge city. There were simply too many Prussian spy s.

As a last resort, the old general had no choice but to give the order to break through the encirclement. They had to take advantage of the time when the Prussian didn't have any time to react and use their superior strength to break through the gap in the Champignis.

Paris could no longer hold on. The only thing they could do now was to reserve all their strength to meet up with Elder Gan Bida and set up a second front in the south of France to save their country.

”Break out!” With the Interim Government of the Republic of China, we will advance towards the Orleans! ”

When Trochu gave the order, at four in the morning, before it was even bright, the French army of Champigny Town suddenly charged towards the Prussian army's position like a tide, the entire land was filled with the sound of battle.

One hundred and eighty thousand garrison unit s, the old general had secretly gathered a hundred thousand of them. The vacancies in the other defense lines had actually been replenished by the National Guard Warriors.

With one hundred thousand elites gathered here, coupled with the two 60,000 strong National Guard, the 160,000 strong army followed the nine kilometre long front line and suddenly attacked the Prussian army.

In the darkness before dawn, was the time when Prussian army was the most familiar with sleep. Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook, the sound of killing shook the heavens, causing many soldiers to wake up from their dreams.

”Bastard, get up quickly and fight …” The French are beginning to break through, the French are breaking through... ”

The entire tunnel was filled with the mournful howls of the officers. The soldiers hurriedly grabbed their rifles and stuck their heads out from the edge of the trench.

This was an amazing sight. This was an attack density that he had never seen before. In the darkness, he could vaguely see a black mass of people jumping towards him like a mountain.

”Fire …” Free Shooting... ”Heavy Machine Gun Gun Gun …”

Pah pah pah … Mao Se's spitting flames connected together at the position, and the charging French army was swept down, followed by the sound of Gatling s and captured French machine guns firing.

Tuk, tuk, tuk … Tuk, tuk, tuk … The high firing rate bullets were like the scythes of the god of death, sweeping down the opposing French army as if they were cutting wheat. In the darkness, the French army was filled with miserable howls.

However, this time, the French really put in a lot of effort. 160,000 soldiers attacked from a position 9km away, just to use the density of the soldiers to attack the enemy's firepower net. After experiencing the initial massacre, as long as they entered the battlefield, their superiority in military strength would be revealed.

In a country that had experienced the baptism of nationalism, the morale of the military and the citizens were indeed different. Especially during the war against aggression, such a country would always show extremely strong resilience.

He would not surrender even if he was beaten to death. After shouting ”Long live the France”, there would be thousands of fearless young men fighting for the banner of their nation.

With such a massacre, such casualty rate, the people charging at him did not slow down at all, in just a short ten minutes, vanguard unit fiercely stabbed into his position like a bayonet.
