C3242 a war that you dont understand (1/2)

Michelle's ringing of the bell signaled the complete separation of Paris Commune and the Third Republic of France. The civil war finally began.

However, this civil war was full of comic effects at the beginning, causing countless Historian to be puzzled!

Because from the beginning of the battle, there had not been any serious conflicts. Since Le Kongte's vanguard unit was exposed, for an entire three hours, neither side had actually fired a single shot.

The whole battle did not seem like a war, but a common street demonstration in the future. Those soldiers only knew how to use their bodies to fight against the common people, but their killing weapons were useless.

Alarm bells sounded in various parts of Paris. Basically, the Montmartre plateau and all the artillery positions in the Belweve Industrial District had been ambushed by government troops.

Trochu had invested an entire twenty battalions into this plan, with the number nearing thirteen thousand. Of course, with so many people, sneak attacks would also be the key to exposing the truth.

All plans for a sneak attack on the city went bankrupt. Michelle's alarm rang and woke up the citizens of the city. Following which, more bells rang and all the citizens got up and walked onto the streets.

Before National Guard could even take action, the furious citizens of Paris took the lead and walked onto the streets to confront the soldiers. They used their bodies to block the soldiers' advance, cursing non-stop as saliva flew everywhere.

This chaos had obviously woken up the German Army s and Chinese Army s who were surrounding the city. The Shabelle Gate had always been the guarding grounds for the Chinese troops, so Xiao Letian did not stay in the Versailles for the past few days.

When the city was on fire, the Führer put on his army coat and went up to the tower to look out over the city!

”Good boy …” The entire city was mobilized! The commotion caused by Thiers is truly not small … ”

But it was not small, especially on the right bank of the main attacking battlefield, Paris. The fire had already started to light up the sky, and this was not because someone was setting fire to the city, but because the campfires of the defense lines set up by the communes had been set ablaze.

Of course, there had to be firelight during the night battles. There was no electricity in that era, so the night lighting was still ignited. Furthermore, there clearly wasn't enough kerosene lamps to burn on the battlefield.

The most primitive and effective method was still torches and bonfires!

A bonfire was lit. Almost all the crossroads were filled with bonfires. The torches in people's hands crackled, and boiling pine oil dripped down. No one knew if it hurt even if it burned their arms.

The people were already in high spirits. The burning flames combined with their anger were the best catalyst for the atmosphere on the battlefield. The unarmed commoners used their chests to block the bayonets of the soldiers.

The military officers behind the army fired again and again, but none of the soldiers obeyed their orders!

The chaos in the entire city was being reported by spies one after another. Xiao Letian stood on top of the city gate tower as if he was present at all times.

Luo Huo was already dumbstruck. ”Such a big commotion actually didn't start a fight? Both sides did not shoot? Only occasionally? Are you trying to scare me? ”

A lot of people could not understand the current situation they were in. Even Sima Yun and Director Wang spoke up in confusion, ”Didn't the commune get into a fierce fight with Trochu's subordinates before?”

”When we were looting the Tuileries' Palace and the Louvre, the commune and the government army confronted each other along the Seine. Both sides shot at each other, and quite a few people died …”
