18th century total war

Chapter 198

"Citizens of France, mount bayonets and charge!"

The second lieutenant who had just shouted the charge slogan trembled, and the remaining instinct looked down at the blood-spitting bullet hole in his chest, and he fell back on the ground limply.

Daniel watched the second lieutenant, who kept reassuring himself along the way, fall under the enemy's gunpoint, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, while galloping forward with a bayonet, following the shouts of the crowd, he kept howling dryly:

“For freedom! For equality! Long live the revolution!!!
Long live France! ! ! "

Daniel was surrounded by his own people. The densely packed crowd rushed forward in no particular order, and then uniform gunpowder smoke suddenly floated in front of them.

To be able to shoot such a short-range volley in such a fierce fighting situation, Daniel couldn't help but think of the teachings of his own officers.

The Li Wei rebel army on the opposite position is the main force under Li Wei's command - the Black Dragon Army!
However, this did not panic the soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, such as Daniel, because they were already prepared to sacrifice for the revolution before they came here.

They must be worthy of the land allocated to their families, worthy of their parents who have been exhorting them thousands of times before going to war, and worthy of the motherland of France!

The sound of falling to the ground was endless, and the crowd in front of Daniel was completely empty, and the sound of the explosion had already caused him severe tinnitus.

Daniel knew that the fellow citizens in front of him were all knocked down by that round of salvo and subsequent grenade throwing...

Short-range volley and throwing grenades have always been the forte of the Guards infantry.

Daniel, whose vision suddenly widened, clearly saw that the red, white and blue tricolor flag closest to him had rushed behind the chest defense line of the Li Wei rebels who had been piled up by corpses!

"kill!!!"

Daniel lightly stepped on the corpses of his own people, and crossed the not-so-high chest line (there were too many corpses below, which were raised up), and then he found a dilapidated red, white, and blue tricolor flag lying aside.

Without even thinking about it, he copied the military flag, even though he knew that holding the military flag would easily become the target of sharpshooters among Li Wei's rebels!
Daniel held the military flag in both hands, and waved it fiercely at the high point of the chest defense line. After seeing this scene, the National Salvation Revolutionary Army behind rushed forward even more frantically.

This is no longer company after company rushing forward, but battalion after battalion rushing forward!

Every infantry guard behind the chest line was surrounded by at least five or six soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, and brutal fighting was everywhere.

Daniel looked at his own people everywhere behind the chest line, and couldn't help showing a heartfelt smile on his face.

This may be the first time that the National Salvation Revolutionary Army broke through the defense line of the black dragon army, the ace army under the command of Li Wei's rebels. Their troops will definitely be named and praised by the Jacobin National Salvation Committee in Paris!

Just as Daniel kept shaking the military flag in his hand to guide the soldiers behind him, a huge explosion suddenly erupted not far from him.

The explosion sound was several times louder than ordinary grenades, and it was obviously an explosive pack with a huge charge!

Yes, the explosive pack is a new type of weapon developed by the Black Dragon Legion, but due to the quality of the black powder, the explosive pack is often made very large and heavy, otherwise the explosion effect will not be satisfactory.

It's not that the National Salvation Revolutionary Army didn't want to imitate it, but they found that this kind of explosive package was too heavy for ordinary people to throw out. Even if they threw it with both hands, they would blow themselves up...

Later, after the National Salvation Revolutionary Army discovered the combat use of the explosive pack developed by the Black Dragon Army, it completely abandoned the imitation work of the explosive pack.

Because this huge explosive bag was not used for throwing, but was used by the infantry guards to tie it to the body. When acting as a death squad, facing enemies that are several times their own, they will die together!

After the smoke of the explosion passed, Daniel looked at more than a dozen friendly compatriots lying on the ground, dead or injured, and couldn't help but froze in place.

Just when he was in a daze, a high-pitched roar suddenly came from his ears.

"Master Li Wei! Long live!"

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow pounced on Daniel, the 'banner bearer', and pressed him hard to the ground, his whole body emitting black smoke.

Many soldiers around Daniel who had just crossed the chest barrier wanted to come to help, but after seeing the black smoke coming out from under the muttering military uniform of the seriously injured Black Dragon Legion Guard infantry, they immediately wanted to retreat in horror. .

It's a pity that time no longer allows...

A loud bang.

Daniel, who was hugged, and the infantryman turned into flesh and blood, and the surrounding soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army were also thrown off their feet, and even if they were not killed, they were left with injuries.

Daniel's death did not end the battle. In the Black Dragon Legion's position with too few troops, all the infantry guards put on death squad suits.

That is to say, under the larger black military uniform, there are specially made explosive packs strapped to it.

The infantrymen's physical fitness is very good, so even if such a large bundle is tied to their bodies, their combat effectiveness will not be affected, and the explosive package has been specially treated. The package will not be detonated.

Under the crowd attack of the Revolutionary Army for National Salvation, the infantry guards were unable to return to the sky no matter how strong their individual combat power was, so the sound of self-explosions could be heard one after another on the battlefield. The Corpse of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army!
The infantry guards, with no one retreating and no wounded, successfully repelled this wave of offensive in this way!

What the dead Daniel didn't know was that just this wave of offensive alone wiped out his entire battalion...

The more determined the revolutionary will of the team, the faster they will fight to the light, because they charge the most fiercely, the most forward, and the most desperate!

At the front-line headquarters of the northern defense line in Tarn Province, a guard infantry with a face full of gunpowder ran to the command camp of Major General Gasker of the Black Dragon Army. After a military salute with his right hand tilted, he reported loudly:
"General, the strength of our army on the central defense line is less than 800 people, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

Gaskol frowned after hearing this, and asked the adjutant beside him, "Do we still have a reserve team?"

"Reporting to the general, except for the guard battalion protecting the headquarters, all our soldiers have been sent to the front line to fight."

"Behind us is the city of Toulouse where Lord Li Wei is located, we can no longer retreat.

Tell the front-line troops not to take a step back, and I will personally lead the guard battalion to support the middle line of defense!
This gang of National Salvation Revolutionary Army did not know what kind of gunpowder they ate, but they were so desperate, one battalion after another came up to die, what a hell! "
