C3308 Commune Counterattack (1/2)

Xiao Letian and Nightingale both made pessimistic judgements regarding the Paris civil war and began their final preparations for rescue.

The situation developed as expected. The following battles finally entered into the most brutal of street battles.

Paris Commune, who had been beaten senseless on the first day, started to organize the counterattack. They were already very clear on the enemy's strength, towards the professional legion trained by these French Emperor, all of them had abandoned their previous arrogance.

The situation became complicated. The commune began to change from a full-on offensive to a focused defense with a partial counterattack, while the larger area began to fight guerrilla warfare in the streets.

A strong fortress, a high ground, a bend in a river, a bridge... These easy to defend and difficult to attack areas are all set up with artillery and permanent fortifications.

The ruins of the buildings were being demolished and permanent shelters were being built with stones and bricks, so that the guns could be fired at any time from behind the positions.

These fortresses were definitely not allowed to move an inch of land. They had stored a large amount of food, fresh water and ammunition inside their walls, and even if they were surrounded, they would still be able to continue fighting.

It was as if iron nail were nailed to the board of chess in Paris.

unanimously decided not to fight against these elite troops. Because of the quality of their troops and their coordination, National Guard was not a match for them.

Therefore, these huge blocks would rather give way to the enemy and let the government army's line of defense lengthen so that they could not form an absolute superiority in military strength within a certain block.

As long as your strength slows down, I can use my sniper rifle to harass you for twenty-four hours!

Defense alone was not enough. The commune had more than ten small elite assault troops, and normally, only eighteen hundred people would be gathered together. They would be looking for a gap in the battlefield before taking the opportunity to fight a counter attack.

Or perhaps it was just a sneak attack during the night, concentrating their forces to fight one small annihilation battle at a time!

The three axes were swung round and round, causing the government troops to suffer quite a bit. For the past two days, the two sides had been constantly fighting each other over the line.

A street was captured by government forces in the morning, perhaps by the commune in the afternoon, and during the night, both sides carried out brutal night raids.

These 24 hours had been too cruel. The entire exchange line had been twisted!

After discussing with McMahon, he immediately sent all the cannons in his hands over to the front lines.

The arsenal at the rear began to produce ammunition at full capacity, and the rails leading to Paris were filled with armoured trains. Coupled with the fact that France was lagging behind in terms of railway dispatch efficiency, it caused a serious blockage in the already small railway line.

All the railway stations around Paris were filled with unloading soldiers and civilian men, and tons of artillery shells were sent to Paris and began to bombard common-controlled neighborhoods.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The whole of Paris shook as the fires of the Raging Inferno City and the Inferno soared into the sky. The commune had never seen such an intense bombardment. Three consecutive violence and six blocks were lost in one night.

Commune member, who had been blown up, started shouting at the government army, ”Executioner!” If there were so many cannonballs attacking Prussian, you would have won long ago! ”

”What skill is killing one's own fellow countrymen …”

Boom! Boom! Boom … All that answered them were the constant barrage of cannons, which flew past them like locusts.

The commune had been completely fired up. No one cared about life and death anymore as they formed wave after wave of death squads to defend against the enemy's fire during the night.

After one was killed, another one was blown up. The government troops who took advantage of the artillery to take over the positions would often encounter a desperate counterattack as soon as they put up the flags.
