Chapter 79 Exercise (Previous)

The Transportation Brigade serves as the general reserve team, acting as a firefighter, and will block wherever a crisis occurs. Although this brigade is organized into a Transportation Brigade, which is mainly responsible for the supply and ammunition supply of the entire legion, their daily training is no different from that of ordinary infantry brigades, but the intensity is slightly worse. Since the 88th Legion generally uses weapons with relatively high ammunition consumption, it has to form a separate force to specialize in

Responsible for the transportation of supplies. But don't treat them as simple transport personnel. They hold guns, which is no worse than regular infantrymen. Moreover, their equipment is no different from other infantry brigades. It's just that they usually put weapons on carriages. During this exercise, all the supplies needed by the legion in these three days have been transported, so Xiao Jie dared to organize them all to serve as the reserve team for the entire legion.

The cavalry brigade is the only counterattack force in Xiao Jie's hands. Always defending is not a solution. Besides, the best defense is attack. Although it is basically unrealistic to take the initiative to attack the coalition of the Imperial Guards and Guards Army, which has only 6,000 people, it is basically unrealistic to seize the opportunity to make a small counterattack. It is not Xiao Jie's style to defend but not attack.

On the afternoon of August 9, Napoleon and the other party participating in the exercise, the Imperial Guards and the Guards Army arrived in Chartre. Xiao Jie brought the main generals of the 88th Legion to Chartre City to greet him. After two days of intense construction, the position of the 88th Legion had basically been built according to the training mode.

After resting, Napoleon proposed to visit the 88th Legion's position. Xiao Jie looked embarrassed. Napoleon said, "What's wrong, Andrecy, little? Are you still afraid that your position will be leaked?"

Of course, Xiao Jie thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that. He quickly replied: "Of course not. It's just that our position has just been built, and there are many other things that have not been cleaned up, which seems messy, so he feels a little inconvenient."

Of course, Napoleon knew that Xiao Jie's words were rude, and waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? Which of the marshals and generals here did not come out of the sea of ​​blood? What's the chaos?" Napoleon's marshals and generals also agreed with him. Napoleon continued, "But in order to show the fairness of this exercise, all the Imperial Guards and Guards are not allowed to step into the position of the 88th Legion before the exercise begins. Violators will deal with military law, including Marshal Dawu and General Bessier."

Davu and Bessier looked silently at the crowd moving away. "Marson, do you explain that our attack will be smooth tomorrow?" Bessier asked.

"God of General, you should know that you are the commander of the most elite imperial guards in the empire. In the empire and even the whole world, there is no way to know that the troops are the opponent of your troops. Even the crown prince's army that knows that all the gold coins are piled up, let alone add my guards." Dawu said confidently. He has never had a good impression of Xiao Jie's troops that consumed a lot of money and equipment. A unit of only 6,000 people, Xiao Jie was on it.

There was enough money to arm a guard army. Although he had heard that the weapons of the 88th Legion were very powerful, he had never seen them with his own eyes, so he instinctively believed that the combat effectiveness of the unit that could only rely on advanced weapons would not be too high. In order to ensure that these advanced weapons were in his own hands, Xiao Jie directly transferred some people from the 88th Legion to guard the Andresey Arsenal and Research Institute to prevent spies from stealing weapons information from other countries.

Bessier glanced at Dawu and stopped talking. He was not as optimistic as Dawu.

No one dared to violate His Majesty's authority. So Napoleon led the generals and marshals except the Imperial Guards and the Guards Army to the position of the 88th Legion accompanied by Xiao Jie.

On the way, Xiao Jie introduced to Napoleon: "Our position is mainly composed of trenches, barbed wire and fixed firepower points. Relying on the two hills, we called the one on the left, the one on the right, the one on the right, the one on the second, which is divided into two parts, namely the first line of defense and the second line of defense."

When Napoleon and his group stood on the No. 1 Highland overlooking the 88th Legion's position, they were all worried about the Imperial Guards and the Guards Legion. This was probably the most solid and novel position they had ever seen. They never thought that the position could be so slender. Napoleon was also surprised and keenly captured the impact of this position on military tactics. He secretly decided to implement the 88th Legion's new style of exercises after the exercise. After seeing the 88th Legion's position, he had already determined in his heart that victory would belong to them. However, his idea of ​​implementing the new style of exercises had to be interrupted, because the war was about to come.

After visiting the positions of the 88th Legion, the marshals and generals looked at Dawu and Bessier with their own eyes. The two of them were frightened.

In the evening, Napoleon organized all the senior generals to understand the meal. Before the meal, he said some unrelated words that encouraged the two troops participating in the exercise.

The next day, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Napoleon announced the start of the exercise, and all the troops participating in the exercise entered their respective positions. Since the Imperial Guard and the Guard Corps were attacking parties, there was no large-scale construction of positions, but they just built a simple departure position yesterday afternoon.

The Imperial Guards and Guards' Corps were located not far from Chartre, and the 88th Corps' position was about five kilometers away. Napoleon and his group were holding telescopes on the walls of Chartre to watch the exercise.

In the starting positions of the Imperial Guards and Guards, Dawu and Besier held up a telescope to observe the positions of the 88th Legion. However, in their telescopes, they could not even see one person, thanks to the new military uniforms of the 88th Legion. This military uniform is colorful and does not meet the aesthetics of the French at all. It is called beggar suits by the soldiers. At the beginning, many soldiers of the 88th Legion refused to wear such uniforms, but in the end they compromised under Xiao Jie's tyranny. People from other legions also laughed at them because of this. But this military uniform is too easy to integrate with the environment. After watching the positions of the 88th Legion for a long time, Dawu and Besier did not see any name.

"Marson, what should I do now?" Bessier asked. Because Dawu's rank is one level higher than him, it is natural that Dawu's commander is also appointed as the commander of their side.

Dawu was also very troubled now. So he ordered: "Scout cavalry set out and get close to some to figure out where the weaknesses of the enemy's positions are?"
