18th century total war

Chapter 216 Cavalry Raid
Due to the death squads and close-range artillery shotgun tactics of the main force of the Black Dragon Army's first division, the Southern Group Army once again encountered the problem of the first all-out war. The main force of the first division.

However, this battle does not only take place on the frontal battlefield.

Behind the front of Toulouse City, the long logistics team is slowly moving forward with the efforts of a group of labor service workers.

However, the number of garrison soldiers guarding both sides of this logistical convoy far exceeds that of the coolie labourers. From time to time, they laugh and abuse the ragged laborers, using them to pass the boring journey.

If the workers in the labor office dare to refute, they will be dragged out immediately and beaten up. During the period, if some workers are weak and cannot get up after falling down halfway, they will be directly dragged to the side of the road and shot by the soldiers in charge of the garrison, and then let other workers Just dig a hole and bury it.

In the eyes of the garrison soldiers, these laborers are not their French compatriots at all, and they cannot even be regarded as a person!

Since the establishment of the concentration camp system, the safety of workers' lives has been increasingly ignored by the higher authorities.

Standing at the height of Li Wei, what he needs is to ensure the productivity of the rear and how to transport the military supplies to the front in time.

The fierce offensive of the Southern Army Group consumed the black powder of the First Division of the Black Dragon Army.

Whether it is the explosive packs strapped to the backs of the Guards Infantry Death Squad, or the high-yield explosive packs specially used to smash people, they will consume a lot of black powder. In the southern part of France occupied by the Li Wei regime, there is a steady stream of gunpowder every day. The logistics supplies team transported to the front line.

Obviously, it is impossible for such a large-scale logistics transportation to be escorted by the brainwashed soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion. Even if Li Wei wanted to do this, he would not be able to spare so many troops.

Therefore, we can only let the good and bad garrison regiments and even the local security regiments help escort them.

Generally speaking, in the safe and stable rear, the local security regiment takes over this task, and when it comes to the rear near the front line, there will be a special garrison regiment to take over.

The vast majority of these garrison soldiers were drawn from the nearby concentration camp labor offices. They had long developed a superior view of the workers in the labor offices, and they did not regard those workers as human beings of the same status at all.

In addition, the higher-ups turned a blind eye to their abuse of labor in the labor agency. As long as they don't cause too many lives and don't cause riots, they won't be punished, which makes these garrison soldiers even more unscrupulous.

People who have lived in a peaceful and healthy social environment for a long time can never imagine how cruel those low-level soldiers are in war-torn countries!

For this group of people who risk their lives for food, they no longer have much conscience in their humanity, and the cruel war has worn away their kindness.

This is the reason why various human tragedies often occur in the war zone. The only way to restrain soldiers is not to rely on their conscience, but strict military discipline!
Especially for this group of garrison soldiers who have no beliefs and only work for Li Wei for Juntian, the bottom line of their work depends entirely on how strict the superior officers are to them.

Facing the bullying by the soldiers of the garrison around them, the small number of workers in the labor office without weapons had no choice but to swallow their anger.

It is even fortunate that these garrison soldiers will not kill people for no reason, otherwise, if the labor force of the transportation team loses too much labor, the garrison soldiers will have to do these dirty jobs themselves...

A handsome young officer wearing a ship-shaped three-cornered hat with the national emblem of the French Republic inlaid on his head was riding on a tall horse and holding a monocular in his hand to carefully observe the transport convoy moving slowly in the distance.

"There is no black dragon battle flag, and the style of the military uniform is that of a garrison soldier in Li Wei's rebel army. This is a piece of fat."

The handsome NRA officer named Ollie gestured to the rear, and his adjutant and herald immediately went into the jungle to issue orders.

Accompanied by a quick whistle, a group of light cavalry troops of the French Revolutionary Army for Salvation mounted their horses, with a saber on their shoulders in one hand and a horse in the other, forming a dense wall formation, and slowly came out of hiding. stepped out of the place.

With a swipe, Oli drew out his saber for the officer, pointed forward obliquely, and shouted loudly:

"For France!

For the great revolution!
For liberty, equality and fraternity!

Citizens of France, charge! "

A soldier of the garrison who was carrying military boots, stepped on the cheek of a laborer who was lying on the ground, scratched back and forth, and kept laughing at the laborer under his feet with his teammates, just because this older laborer If you move a little slower while working, you will be treated like this!

However, a soldier of the garrison who was resting and watching a show with a musket suddenly widened his eyes, pointed in the direction obliquely ahead, and shouted in horror:
"cavalry!
Cavalry of the Revolutionary Army!

oh!my God!There are hundreds of them! "

When the surrounding soldiers heard it, they quickly turned their heads to look, and screamed in horror at the same time!
The soldier who stepped on the cheek of the laborer in the labor agency watched the cavalry charge towards him with dull eyes.

These garrison corps have experienced guerrillas in actual combat. Where has they ever had a head-to-head encounter with the regular troops of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army?
Not to mention facing a cavalry team that outnumbered them!

The light cavalry of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army lined up in a wall-like charge formation, using Oli to the officer as an arrow, as the distance narrowed, the speed became faster and faster, and the saber that was originally carried on the shoulder had also been swung diagonally upward.

The seemingly dying laborer on the ground, seeing the cavalry of the revolutionary army rushing here, suddenly showed ferocity like a beast on his numb face. The leg on his cheek opened his mouth and bit it hard!

"Oh my God!
You bloody bastard!

You mad dog!
Let go of your mouth! "

This bite immediately pulled the god of the shocked garrison soldier back.

It's a pity that at this moment, none of the teammates around him is in the mood to help him pull away that mad dog-like labor office worker.

In fact, the ribs on the laborer’s body are clearly visible due to lack of food for a long time, and his strength is no match for the soldier of the garrison who can eat and drink enough every day. He bites the opponent’s long legs tightly. , is already the last stubbornness of this labor service worker...

However, the soldiers of the Garrison Corps are not good people, none of them have blood on their hands!
