Chapter 462: Zero casualties login

After hearing what Yarves said, Gustav IV and Alfrey's expressions changed suddenly. Gustav IV did not notice this loophole at all, and Yarveri deliberately ignored this loophole in order to show his talents in front of Gustav IV, but unexpectedly it was pointed out by Yarves.

"His Excellency Yalfre, if the French 3rd French Legion landed from the east, how should we stop it?" Yalfres asked. Yalfres felt very comfortable in front of Gustav IV.

"Hmph! I have already figured out a solution to this problem. As long as we deploy 100,000 troops in Kapelsher, the French army should not be able to successfully land in Scandinavia." Alfreud said toughly.

"But, do you have 100,000 troops now?" Alves said provocatively.

"Not now, but it will be there in half a month."

"Oh, then can you guarantee that the French army will not land within this half month?" Alves continued to ask.

"This." Of course, Alfrey could not guarantee it. He dared not say that the French army would not land within this time period. On the contrary, the possibility of the French army landing within this time period was very high. "Hmph! If your navy had not been successful and was beaten by the French, not to mention that our country's coastline would be exposed to the French navy's cannon. Otherwise, we would not have encountered such a situation." Alfrey changed the topic.

"You." Alves was immediately hit and couldn't speak. The Swedish Navy's entire army was wiped out, making him a commander with a bareback, which made him very embarrassed and became a sentence he couldn't hear from others. In fact, he was quite unfair. Compared with the French Navy, the Swedish Navy was too weak, and the two were not on the same level at all. Alves had been holding on for so long, which was quite good.

"Okay, don't argue anymore." Gustav IV said angrily. "Now the Kingdom is in a very critical moment. As important officials of the Kingdom, you two are making noise here. What does it look like."

Seeing Gustav get angry, Yalfre and Yarves have to retreat aside in disappointment, but neither of them is convinced.

"Alfre, how do you think about dealing with this problem?" Gustav IV asked.

"I think we can send some troops to Kapelsheer first, and after the new troops are recruited, we will send more troops to strengthen the defense," said Yalfrey.

Gustav IV nodded helplessly. Now Sweden has no extra troops at all, so he can only do this first. Now, the only thing they can do is pray for God, hoping that the French army will not launch landings or other large-scale offensives within the next half month.

However, perhaps God did not hear their prayers. The officers and soldiers of the 3rd French Legion were already impatient. When the 20,000 troops sent from Stockholm had resisted Cappelsher, the French army launched the landing less than two days after they resisted Cappelsher.

On July 5, the weather was very clear and there was only a little breeze on the sea. This was a very suitable day for landing and combat.

In Port Mary in the Orland Islands, nearly 100 transport ships and more than 20 warships have been ready for a long time. As the first batch of landing troops, all 15,000 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Marine Division have already boarded the ship, and they will be responsible for starting this landing operation. After establishing the beachhead, they are waiting for the support of the 3rd French Corps.

"Start." On the Baltic Fleet flagship "Default", Marshal Lans issued an order to attack. The "Default" warship is one of the two "Defaultless"-class warships that survived the Atlantic Battle. Although it has been nearly 10 years old, it is already a group of old warships in the French Navy. Although it is not as huge as the new French Navy warships and its firepower is not as powerful, in the Baltic Sea, it is definitely an irresistible giant. In the vast Baltic Sea, no country's warship can be compared with it.

Under the order of Marshal Lanshi, all warships and transport ships sailed out of the port. At sea, the warships protected all transport ships in the middle. Although no fleet in the Baltic Sea could threaten them now, they were still very careful. Because the transport ships were loaded with all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Marine Division and their equipment and supplies, they should not be careless at all.

Mary Port is less than 60 kilometers away from Kapel Sher, and it is necessary to cross the South KValken Strait. Although the battleships of the Baltic Fleet are all eliminated old warships and those very slow transport ships. However, 3 hours are enough for them to arrive at Kapel Sher.

Departed at 8 a.m., at 10 a.m., the fleet was less than 15 kilometers away from Kapelsher.

After discussions between Marshal Lans and General Pearls, the commander of the Baltic Fleet, it was decided to divide the fleet into two. Admiral Pearls personally led 10 warships, including the "Dreadnought", to go to Kapalsher to shell the Marines to clear obstacles for the landing of the Marines, while the remaining more than 10 warships continued to protect the safety of the transport fleet. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Marine Division began to have lunch, and then after the shelling was over, they had to launch an attack. At that time, they would not have time to eat.

At 11 a.m., the shelling fleet arrived less than 5 kilometers from the coast of Kapelsher. The arrival of the French fleet scared the Swedish army that had just arrived in Kapelsher. They had only 20,000 people in total, and were drawn from the 100,000 troops guarding Stockholm. The new army was still in training. Although the craze for the Swedes to defend their country was very high at this time, and more than 100,000 people were recruited in just two days. However, it would take quite a while to turn them from ordinary farmers, workers or merchants into soldiers.

The 20,000 troops sent to Kapel Sher were mostly second-line troops in the past, lacking heavy weapons. The entire army only had 12 cannons with a caliber of less than 100 mm, and no heavy machine guns. They only had a rifle.

In this case, it is basically impossible to compete with the powerful naval guns of the French Navy.

Therefore, when the French naval fleet appeared, the Swedish army immediately ran out of the position regardless of the officers' drive, dragged their rifles, hating that their parents did not give them two less legs. Some even threw the rifles. Many officers saw this situation and had to escape with the fleeing soldiers, after all, they were also very afraid of losing their lives.

Major General Elik was so angry that he sent military police to shoot dozens of fleeing soldiers before stopping the momentum of fleeing. He gathered the troops and found that the original 20,000 troops were now only more than 17,000 people left, with more than 2,000 people. Before the battle began, he had already become deserters.

At this time, the French Navy's artillery began. A large number of shells were tilted on the Swedish army's positions. Since the vast majority of Swedish soldiers had fled, the French artillery did not cause them much casualties. However, seeing that the French Navy's artillery was so powerful, the Swedish soldiers were unwilling to enter the position again. In order to reduce losses, Eric had to order the Swedish army to reorganize the defense line far away from the beach.

However, although his arrangements did reduce his own casualties. It also reduced the difficulty of landing the French Marine Corps. Without the beaches stationed by the army, the French Marine Corps could basically establish a vast beachhead without paying any casualties.

At 12 noon, the French Marines, who had hurry to eat lunch, began to land. Without the Swedish army's blockade, they basically landed successfully without any casualties. The only loss was that a landing craft hit a reef near the coast, but the Marines on it were rescued by other landing crafts. Therefore, the 3rd Division of the French Marine Corps achieved an unprecedented zero casualty landing.

After landing, they quickly built a solid beachhead. In order to stop the French army's actions, the Swedish army sent about 5,000 people to launch an attack. But when the French naval fleet's naval fleet fired, they ran away quickly, and the speed was several times faster than when they attacked.

Seeing this situation, Eric had to report the situation here to Stockholm and request reinforcements, while strengthening the construction of the position and preparing to confront the French army.

As soon as the French army landed, the Swedish capital Stockholm immediately became a mess. A large number of civilians began to flee, and they fled to the countryside with a large amount of gold and silver wealth, trying to avoid disasters. The Swedish palace followed in chaos. Gustav IV began to secretly transfer his wealth and sent all his children away quietly, hoping to retain a trace of blood for the Swedish royal family. He himself was determined to live and die with Stockholm.
