3295 The cavalry is charging
"Exposed! The enemy's artillery position has finally been exposed!"
After encountering this shelling attack within the Third Division's front enemy command, he was not panicked but excited!
In the hearts of these officers, although the shelling caused certain casualties, the biggest threat exposed was more worth celebrating!
"It's great, our intelligence has not deviated. The enemy hid the cannon at the Sorbonne University, right in the Sorbonne Academy!"
"Occurrence! The cavalry of the Imperial Guards were dispatched, and the reserves were pressed down! If this artillery position was destroyed, there would be no threat to the entire St. Michel Street!"
"Tell the young men that they are the last pride of the Imperial Cavalry! Don't let His Majesty down, don't let these thugs laugh at the last!"
The Third Division has more than 10,000 people, and only half of its troops have been invested, and it has already suppressed the Paris Commune to attack. What are the remaining troops doing?
They are all reserves, all waiting for the cannons controlled by the commune to open fire!
Artillery is the god of war, this is what Napoleon said! Modern people can no longer feel how important the cannon is, because people in the 21st century have long been stolen by more black technology weapons.
There was already a * during World War II. Large caliber naval guns were more than 400 millimeters, and a shell could destroy a whole building!
Even more than entering the new century, the emergence of intelligent weapons has greatly improved the efficiency of human beings to kill each other!
In this context, ordinary people will think that the old-fashioned artillery is so powerful!
In addition to the fantasy and future weapons, Star Wars and other media, greatly expanding human imagination!
But modern people are different from ancient people. When analyzing any problem, you should jump to the environment of the ancient people to think about it!
What were the cannons at the end of the 19th century? The cannons at that time were actually just like the current nuclear weapons, *, and were strategic weapons and important weapons of the country!
This is a bit harsh? Absolutely not!
Because in that era, no weapon could surpass the power of cannons. As the top king of all weapon systems, he was the most dazzling diamond in the crown of war!
Moreover, with the scientific and technological level of mankind at that time, artillery making technology has always been the unique skill of a few industrial powers, and it was the most important commodity for foreign exchange creation!
The profit of Germany's export of a large caliber naval gun to the world was enough for the medium-sized British spinning mill to do an extremely high job!
It can be seen that the cannon manufacturing industry at that time, just like the chip industry, biopharmaceuticals, new energy, networks, etc. in the 21st century, was a real national pillar industry!
On the cruel battlefield where people have lives, whoever has cannons does not have cannons, and the result is completely different!
From the Franco-Prussian War to the First World War, human wars fought for who has more cannons, whose caliber is larger, and whose production speed is faster...
At the end of the 19th century, no one dared to underestimate the power of cannons. Because of this, Tier tried every means to attack the artillery positions of the commune and snatch the commune's cannons first.
Today, the veterans of the imperial camps who came out of the prisoner-of-war camp would not neglect the artillery, a killer weapon. They would rather use half of their troops as reserves than wait until the artillery fired.
The sound of cannons finally rang out, and a large area of charge of foreign legions was killed. The attack was blocked at the Fourth Barrier. Now the commune finally had a chance to breathe and began to rebuild its defense.
"Our cannons are starting to fight back! Don't be afraid! Keep here and don't give in!"
"Fire the cannons! Kill these executioners! Fire the cannons!"
Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...
Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, the attacking government forces looked for cover to hide, and the battlefield suddenly entered a stalemate.
And at this moment, east of St. Michelle, around the small street near the Paris Meteorological Observatory, a fierce sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.
The streets filled with garbage were filled with terrified eyes of citizens. They suddenly found hundreds of strong horses rushing out from the south.
The horses were full of imperial cavalry wearing half-breasted plaques. The sabers in their hands were raised high, the necklaces on their helmets fluttered in the wind, and the military flags roared violently.
"The guards cavalry...charge!"
"Long live the empire!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
Unexpectedly, McMahon not only restored the establishment of the infantry group in such a short time, but even restored the establishment of a small number of cavalry troops.
Chest Plate Cavalry Regiment, the pride of the Bonaparte Dynasty!
The Algerian Third Division was assigned a total of 400 cavalry, and this new force became the sharp bayonet to attack the artillery positions!
The war horses broke through the fragile defensive barricades of the commune like tides. The war horses crossed the low sandbags and wrecks, and the horse swords slashed left and right with sharp slashes.
The commune member who had no combat experience screamed and covered his head and fell into a pool of blood!
Many young children were even knocked away by war horses, flying in the air and then hitting hard on the ground!
Paris is too big, so big that the National Self-Defense Forces cannot defend against all the streets. Many narrow alleys can only be defended by temporary recruitment citizens.
Today's crazy attack by the Third Division has attracted the attention of all the surrounding commune regular troops. At present, there are no elite troops in the cavalry assault position!
They are all a group of old, weak, sick, disabled, and young children. How could they be the opponents of the wolf-like cavalry like tigers? They were all washed away without even a decent resistance!
"Accelerate, accelerate! Target Sorbonne Academy, target enemy artillery position!"
"Our brothers are being massacred, we can't waste a second of time! Accelerate..."
The Sorbonne University is close to the Pantheon of Paris, which is the Pantheon!
This is the cemetery of all the French great men, Voltaire, Rousseau, Dumas... Dozens of French great men were buried here, and like those gods, they were admired by future generations!
The Sorbonne University is close to the Pantheon, and this bloody battle broke out in front of the graves of these sleeping great men. I really don’t know what the sages who sleep underground felt!
Four hundred cavalry rushed straight into the street like hot knives piercing butter. They walked through the alley parallel to St. Michel Street and attacked northward.
Like a storm, rushing to the artillery position suddenly!
More than a thousand commune guard soldiers guarding the artillery positions looked at the rushing cavalry in horror and shouted, "Enemy cavalry! Open fire... open fire!"
Facing an enemy that was several times more than oneself, the guards were not afraid at all, and the commander's saber pulled up a beautiful sword flower in the air!
"Guards Cavalry Battalion! Charge!"
"Kill..." Four hundred tigers and wolves rushed straight to the enemy!
Seeing that the defending members were shaking their legs, their hands holding the rifle were trembling, "Let's fire... open fire..."
Pa... Papa... The chaotic shooting has no sense of rhythm at all, and it is impossible to form a dense rain of bullets!
