C3240 night attack on Montmartre (2/2)
They were getting closer and closer, all the soldiers only had one goal, which was the artillery position on the Montmartre plateau. On the high ground, two platforms worth of shot, more than two hundred Napoleon cannons were threatening the entire city.
The order Thiers gave them was extremely simple. First, they sneaked an attack on the artillery position and used their fastest speed to drag away all the cannons.
First of all, he had completely annihilated the commune, leaving the unarmed people without the ability to resist!
For this night raid, Thiers gave a lot of rewards, and even held an extremely large Catholic Mass to pray for … Time was running out and he had no other way to boost his morale. He could only pray for the grace of God.
At the gathering, Thiers lectured the 20 odd Battalion Commanders, saying, ”Believe in God, believe in the all-powerful influence of the priests!”
”Because we want to test the gospel of God to spread the word of man. I must let the people learn how to be humble and how to prostrate themselves on the ground...”
”Who are those people in Paris? They were all people who refused to accept their fate and wanted to enjoy themselves … All you have to do is defeat them with the blessing of God! ”
”But they have come to their senses again, and let them know what life should be like!”
”Lowly people shouldn't have a good time when they are born into sin! The reason why we live is to enjoy ourselves, such a wrong thought is actually the tumor of the France! ”
”Go and cut out the tumor! to restore order in the motherland! ”
The soldiers carrying God's grace and grace finally started their journey. The brutal civil war between Thiers's government and the Paris Commune had finally begun tonight!
The battle plan was detailed, but the entire plan was filled with the President's self-confidence. In the eyes of the higher-ups, the Commune was just a bunch of thugs with the most threat being the cannons.
The cannons that had been stolen during the chaos of the war were the only threat to the regular army. As long as the cannons could be retrieved, only the enemies of the rifles were of no concern.
Of course, if everything went well, they could control all the artillery positions in the Montmartre plateau before morning, and the assault troops in the morning could destroy the enemy's ammunition depot.
At that time, the so called National Guard would only be able to fight using her bayonets and fists!
However, they never expected that the blessings of the priests would not work. Their entire plan had ended up in the hands of a group of women.
Louis. Michelle, the leader of the Paris Commune's women's movement, was someone who was on equal footing with Wa Erlan, Du Waer and Raoult Rigo.
Previously, the planners thought that since the day's mass protest march had exhausted all of their energy, after such a huge conflict, their defenses would loosen!
This was indeed the case. The men were already resting, and even the patrolling guards weren't too meticulous. They were extremely tired from the day's exercise.
Wasn't ambushing them at this time a good opportunity? However, none of the staff officers had expected that the women were actually allowed to patrol, and Michelle's group of female members had already formed more than a dozen night patrols.
Michelle noticed the starlight reflected off of the bayonet in the dark and shouted in fear, ”Who is it!?” Who's where! Throw the torch over! ”
