The fierce shelling of the French army caused a devastating blow to Fortaleza. According to incomplete statistics after the war, the main buildings of the entire Fortaleza city were spared in the May Day of the French army's fierce shelling. The 30,000 civilians and more than 10,000 American and Canadian coalition forces in the city suffered numerous casualties and injuries during the shelling. At least 20,000 civilians died in the French army's shelling, and most of the remaining people were injured, and they were intact, and there were no few at all.

The US coalition forces also suffered thousands of casualties in the French artillery bombardment. So when the French launched an attack, they were unable to send enough troops to block the French. [bsp;    "Attack! Fortaleza must be taken before sunset. General Bennet will arrive tomorrow. Send a regiment to bypass the city and control the port, and the enemy cannot blow up the port. Otherwise, it will pose a serious threat to our supplies!" méngti issued an order. The French army of four regiments launched a fierce attack on Fortaleza. There was also another regiment, bypassing the city and heading towards Fortaleza's port.

Even if Fortaleza is in ruins, it has nothing to do with the French army. If the port is bombed, it will be a huge line. How can tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of tons of supplies be unloaded?

In order to quickly transfer these materials, the 18th French Army made detailed preparations. They blocked thousands of carriages, first transferred these materials to places far away from the coast, and then transferred them to the control area bit by bit. Finally, they sent them to the 16th and 17th Legion respectively. They even took the opportunity to expand the control area and seize one or two cities defended by the US-Canadian coalition forces. After being supplemented, the French army can maximize their combat power.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was feasible. I immediately sent a telegram to Dawu to report his ideas. In any case, Dawu was the highest commander of the French army in South America. Such an important military plan change required his consent. The focus of the offensive was that Méngti was hanging in St. Louis, not far from Beren. Taking it here could pose a fatal threat to the South American theater command of the US-Canadian coalition, and could also cut the South American theater of the US-Canadian coalition into two halves in one fell swoop. The French army could free up their hands to clean up piece by piece. Finally, completely occupy South America and end the battle between the two sides for several years.

Davu affirmed Méngti's plan and fully supported it. Now, the French army has launched a comprehensive counterattack against the United States and Canada. According to the General Staff's plan, they no longer have to worry about the threat from the United States and Canadian navy. It is time to go out of the mountains and start a final decisive battle with the US-Canadian coalition.

Of course, these are all later stories. What we need to do now is to kill all the US-Canadian coalition forces guarding Fortaleza, take down the port, and allow the supply fleet escorted by the French South Atlantic Fleet to dock smoothly.

The French army carried out two hours of artillery raging against Fortaleza. When the shelling ended, Fortaleza had become a ruin. When the attacking French troops stood up and attacked Fortaleza, they discovered that the fierce shelling not only destroyed the fortifications built by the US-Canadian coalition in Fortaleza, but also destroyed their determination to resist.

Faced with the fierce attack of the French army, Fortaleza's defenders no longer had their previous heroism and often collapsed with one blow. It would be very easy to take Fortaleza before sunset.

The troops attacking the port were also very smooth. They basically encountered no obstacles and took over the entire port, including the large machinery and other important infrastructures of the port. With these facilities, the efficiency of the French army unloading ships will be greatly improved by then.

"General, we can't defend it anymore. The French artillery is too powerful, and the brothers can't resist it anymore." A regiment commander rushed into the garrison headquarters of Fortaleza, which was located underground and reported to the supreme commander of Fortaleza.

"No, tell the soldiers that they must resist the attack of the French no matter what. Otherwise, we will all be sent to the military court." The commander of the Fortaleza defender roared. Now, he has sent out all the troops he has controlled, but he still cannot resist the fierce attack of the French. He knows that Fortaleza's fall is right in front of him, and he is just making the final struggle.

"Send a report to the headquarters! It is said that the French attack was too powerful and we can't resist it. If there were no reinforcements, Fortaleza would fall before sunset." Fortaleza's US commander ordered. Now, he could only place hope on the reinforcements that might have been sent by the South American Theater Command. However, what he didn't know was that there were no so-called reinforcements at all. In order to avoid the attack of Beren by the French army, Carlcent deployed all the remaining five divisions of the army in Beren City, and did not send a reinforcement.

Beren City, the command of the South American Theater of the US-Canadian coalition. From the 22nd to now, the situation has gradually become clearer. The atmosphere of the entire theater command is not as tense as before. Under the tight defense of various cities of the US-Canadian coalition, the shortcomings of the French army's weak forces have suddenly emerged, and the attack strength on many cities has been greatly weakened. The 16th French Army Corps even transferred troops back to the headquarters of assistance.

This is tantamount to good news for Carlcent and others. As long as the ports in South America are still in their hands, they are not afraid of the arrival of the French fleet. Although the supply fleet is huge, it is also the most vulnerable. After the ports are controlled by the US-Canadian coalition, they cannot dock and will eventually become the targets of the US Navy's hunt.

However, at this time, the emergency telegram from Fortaleza came, undoubtedly pouring a basin of cold water on the head of the excited Cavest.

"Damn it! I'm going to send him to the military court! Didn't he promise to resist the French attack? Why did Fortaleza fall overnight?" Cavest threw the telegram heavily on the table and roared.

Deputy Commander Brady and Chief of Staff Robert both looked at Cavenster with surprise. Why was it so good just now, and the face was full of smiles? How could it change rapidly in an instant?

"General, what happened? Has the occupation changed?" Robert asked.

"That commander of Fortaleza, that idiot! I want to send him to military court! No, I want to shoot him directly!" Cavenster roared angrily.

Robert and Brady suddenly had a trace of something wrong in their hearts. Could it be that something went wrong with Fortaleza?

"That idiot, yesterday he sent a newspaper that he could withstand the French. But now, he sent a newspaper that Fortaleza could not hold on to the sunset." Cavenster said angrily.

"How could this happen?" Brady asked in surprise. When Fortaleza's telegram was sent yesterday, he was also present. He even praised the other party for a few words, but unexpectedly, they all changed in one day.

"General! Now is not the time to be angry. Hurry up and order Fortaleza's defenders to destroy the port immediately. Maybe the French target is Fortaleza." Robert urged.

"Yes, yes! Come, send a message to the Fortaleza defenders immediately and ask them to blow up the port. Never leave it to the French!" Cavenster ordered gritting his teeth. I don't know if it was arguing for the French army or the commander of the Fortaleza defenders.

However, 10 minutes later, the staff officer came in again and reported: "General, Fortaleza called, the port has been controlled by the French, and they cannot complete the task of blowing up the port!"

"What? This bitch is an idiot!" Cavenster didn't know how to vent his anger. He was about to explode.

"It's over! It seems that the French's target is really Fortaleza! It can be inferred that the French landing is right in front of us." Brady was anxious.

"General, order the army to attack Fortaleza immediately," Robert suggested.

"But is this useful?" Cavenster hesitated a little. Now his troops are not large, and he doesn't know whether he should send the troops out. If Beren is empty and attacked by the French, it will be a big deal.

"General, whether it is useful or not, we must act like we should take back Fortaleza with all our might. Otherwise, the country will not let us go."

"Yes! Order, to mobilize three divisions of troops from the city to support Fortaleza. Send a report to the country, and return Fortaleza has fallen and we are taking Fortaleza back at any cost." Cavenster ordered.

The staff officer quickly drafted a telegram based on his orders. After signing Cavenster, he sent it to the country.

At this time, Cavenster was completely unaware that because of his telegram, it officially opened a quick decisive battle between France and the United States and Canada, and also officially pushed the United States and Canada into the abyss of failure.

After receiving a telegram from Cavenster, the newly established United States-Canada Joint Command was trapped in the hunluàn. The French fleet disappeared from the port and launched an attack on the French South American group. All of this was the French counterattack. The first target was South America.

Now, it is almost certain that the disappearing French South Atlantic Fleet will escort the French supply fleet to dock in Fortaleza, bringing personnel and military supplies to the French army's 3-sected army's South American corps.

Zominsk sent Cavinster a stern-worded telegram asking him to concentrate his efforts to regain Fortaleza. Even if Fortaleza cannot be regained, the French cannot get supplies too easily.
