3291 Bloody Rue Saint-Michel
The bloody battle began with St. Michel, which is the most important position of the commune embedded in the left bank and is also a very famous street in the city of Paris.
The rows of shops have long become battle fortresses. Commune soldiers with rich street fighting experience have built at least six sandbag walls on the streets, which are six mutually relied on defensive positions.
If the government forces want to attack St. Michel, they must start from the south to the north, so the Paris Commune set up twelve cannons and set up a small ammunition depot in the north of the street near the Sorbonne University and the Pantheon.
The National Self-Defense Forces guarding the place are very confident. They firmly believe that no matter how many enemies come, they will not want to rush over here.
But I never expected that today they met a crazy legion armed to the teeth!
The attack occurred when the commune was unprepared. It was also the darkest moment before dawn. At most, a quarter of an hour would reveal the whiteness of the fish in the east. The long night had passed and all the soldiers relaxed.
There were even many commune soldiers leaning against the sandbag wall and dozing!
The 3rd Algerian Division under the command of the French Emperor, the troops known as the North African ace, had quietly touched them up. The grenadiers were covered with hands and thunder, and they crawled forward in the dark shadows in the corner of the wall.
One by one, they were lying on the ground and moving quietly like a prey lizard in the desert, approaching the enemy's position little by little!
When the first sandbag position was ten meters away, the veterans began to place their hands on the street one by one, and even sorted out the fuse.
Suddenly, the oldest veteran took the lead in pulling his hands and threw them over, and then he hit the unprepared defenders like hail.
Boom boom boom... The explosion woke up all the dozing soldiers, but before they could wake up, the vanguard troops rushed up.
"Kill without mercy! Go ahead quickly!"
Bang bang bang... The gunshots were loud, and the unprepared defenders lost countless casualties. These brutal veterans supported each other with fire. Whenever a squad began to charge forward, there must be another friendly force behind them to provide fire support.
The dense bullets were fired very accurately, and the defenders could not raise their heads at all!
"The veteran will not die! The empire will not perish! Use a bayonet..."
The snow-clear bayonet jumped on the street like a jungle, and the soldiers climbed over the half-person-high sandbag wall and rushed directly into the abdomen of the first line of defense.
Those surviving commune soldiers were not the opponents of these veterans who were like wolves and tigers. The white soldiers were killed after only one encounter in the assault.
The experienced French army can use a bayonet to gently push away the opponent's weapons. The bayonet like a spirit snake can penetrate the enemy's heart without much force.
More veterans pay attention to cooperation. One person holds the enemy's weapons, and the other person is a bayonet in a bunch of cold slaps, and the sharp blades are stabbed directly through the gaps in the ribs, stirring them hard in the lungs!
The screaming soldier vomited blood in his mouth, and fell to the ground and kept twitching!
Without any mercy, no sympathy, only the most efficient massacre, these veterans kill people like cattle and sheep that the butcher slaughtered for a lifetime, it has completely become an instinct!
In just a quarter of an hour, the first line of defense was broken. More than 300 National Self-Defense Forces' bodies were lying on the streets in a row, and more than 100 people were fleeing north in a hurry.
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! Comrades fight..."
At this moment, the bell of Notre Dame Cathedral in the north had just sounded, and it was only then that the whole of Paris knew that the government troops had begun the general attack.
The first position had been lost, and the second was in danger. Rows of muzzles finally appeared in the sandbag wall and began to fight back against the attacking French army.
Papa... Bullets fly everywhere, but what I never expected was that those veterans miraculously disappeared!
After looking carefully, I looked at it carefully and there was a gunshot on the opposite side, and the bullet blew the head of the commune soldier who was very curious.
Only then did people realize that the government troops that had just rushed into the first blocking position did not waste a second of time, but quickly dispersed and looked for cover points.
The buildings on both sides of the road, the broken statues on the street, the craters filled with rain, and some people even temporarily pulled a few sandbags to build a small individual shooting bunker for themselves!
"God, where is the army? Why is the reaction so fast..." Before he finished speaking, another row of bullets flew over his head.
These Imperial veterans who have fought for their lives are simply their breath. Everyone is equipped with the most advanced rear-loading rifles, which makes them load very quickly!
The marksmanship is extremely accurate, the firing rate is extremely fast... As a result, a company of French troops can't even raise their heads!
"Reinforcements! I need reinforcements!"
As the continuous call for help was heard, there were suddenly noisy sounds in the buildings on both sides of St. Michel Avenue, followed by many windows being pushed open, the glass was smashed, and the commune soldiers began to shoot from a high place!
Due to the high advantage, the casualties of the government troops began to intensify, but this advantage did not last long. Soon, there were dull explosions in the buildings on both sides!
"Haha, this kind of position still wants to block my military peak?" The commander of the Third Division sneered and said, "The military headquarters has equipped you with three times the *, so don't you have to wait for now?"
Holding the Nobel Company's **, the teacher sighed, "I didn't expect that the Prussians' * technology was so high!"
"It's powerful and there's little smoke and dust. The key is that it's safe... We lost this battle without any unfairness!"
In order to win this civil war, Thiers had already spared no expense. Even the two provinces of Alsace and Lorraine could be cedeed, let alone buy some new weapons and *.
At this moment, France has come to the rest of the warehouse in the German arsenal!
Facts have proved that McMahon's handover power was very correct. He did not specify a specific combat plan and only gave each unit the targets to fight freely, which instead inspired their battlefield creativity.
Faced with the condescending counterattack of the defenders relying on the buildings, these veterans actually thought of a trick to use * to blast forward in the buildings!
Aren't you hiding in the house? Then I'll blow up the walls and walk through the building!
Boom...boom...boom...boom...
Nobel produces safe*, which can blow up hard iron ore in mines, not to mention these brick and stone walls!
The walls were blown up with big holes, and the French army holding bayonets rushed in, fighting to kill the commune soldiers with bayonets!
When they were at their peak, they even provocatively threw the broken soldiers out of the window on the third floor!
Blood and internal organs fell all over the floor like rain, smashing the commune members all over the body!
Chapter completed!
