A wisp of light fog rises slowly across the fields, and a piece of light twilight floats in the distance, and the white fog is wet and waiting for the night to come.
Several wild dogs followed the scent of blood and came running here. The corpses were scurrying about in groups, and crows were circling in the gray sky.
Zhang Liuhe went to Zhang Yiping and reported that "there are still about 30 Frenchmen in the group who don’t want to hurt themselves. Do you want to kill them?"
Zhang Yiping shook his head and said, "No, so many people have self-mutilated. If we don’t have these people left, someone will take care of them!"
"The group seat means that they will? Kill? "
Zhang Yiping didn’t answer. He is always straight-tempered and irritable, so he is not suitable for playing these insidious games.
He was a little unwilling to put these defeated French back, and then they took out their weapons again to fight themselves.
Fan Dawei led Zhang Yiping’s mount to Zhang Yiping, who jumped to destroy the horse and whip the soldiers of the guard company and disappeared into the dark fog.
Soon after, there came a sparse gun. Zhang Yiping looked behind him and saw nothing but gray.
Chapter 42 Do what others can’t do
Shortly after the 1st Battalion ambushed the 246th Reserve Infantry Regiment, another encounter started in Beth, about 15 kilometers from valois.
No sooner had the 3rd Battalion of the "Wage Corps" occupied the 32nd and 326th reserve infantry regiments in Bethany than the 3rd Battalion surged in and collided with each other, and then a life-and-death battle was held.
At 243 noon, when the second battalion of the Reserve Infantry Regiment met, Pierre, the head of the 243 Reserve Infantry Regiment, reported the information to Brigadier General Verb Rebett Lang.
Brigadier-General Bertrand is the commander-in-chief of the "wage-seeking regiment" that commanded the encirclement and suppression of Chinese workers. Because the national forces are poor, the six reserve infantry regiments are drawn from different places and different troops and divided into six routes to force them to the "wage-seeking regiment", so there will be some problems in coordination
Well, these Chinese workers are paramilitary organizations, and Brigadier General Bertrand has just touched the gun, so he is not too worried. Even the whole of France does not take the "wage-seeking group" seriously, and thinks that it is just a group of workers’ strike. Workers strike every day in France.
However, these Chinese workers have gone too far and forgotten that this is France, where French workers can strike everywhere, but China workers can’t! What’s more, they robbed the arsenal and took the road of armed confrontation.
Although the French all know that the British have always been mean to Chinese workers and Chinese workers have often resisted, it is no longer news that Brigadier General Bertrand also sympathized with the Chinese workers, believing that this was the result of the British’s excessive oppression. However, sympathy belongs to sympathy, and it is still necessary to bounce back because the British are France’s most important allies and Chinese workers are a group of laborers from China. It is said that Chinese workers can be sacrificed from both personal feelings and national interests to safeguard the French-British alliance.
The infantry regiment can communicate in the field by messenger and carrier pigeons in the carrier pigeon box, and Brigadier General Bertrand can understand the development of the war through carrier pigeons. The efficiency can be imagined.
With the development of the situation, the situation of the 243 reserve infantry regiment became worse and worse, and it rushed to support the 246 reserve infantry regiment, which was ambushed and suffered heavy losses
Soon Brigadier General Bertrand received reports from the 243rd and 246th Reserve Infantry Regiments that the troops had been dispersed due to the surge of China.
Only then did Brigadier General Bertrand realize that the situation was serious. It would be terrible if the 243rd and 246th reserve infantry regiments were annihilated by the "wage-seeking regiment".
Brigadier general Bertrand believes that it is necessary to reassess the military strength of the "wage-seeking group" and then deploy it again, otherwise it will suffer a big loss.
To be on the safe side, Brigadier General Bertrand hurriedly notified the 32nd and 326th reserve infantry regiments on their way to Beth to be on high alert and ordered the two infantry regiments to join together.
Brigadier general Bertrand ordered to go to these two regiments. Although these two infantry regiments increased their marching speed, it was too late. Beth had been occupied by China.
Without hesitation, the two infantry regiments launched an attack on Beth together from the southeast.
Although the strength of these two infantry regiments is twice that of the third battalion, the third battalion’s precise attack on the front is as heavy as that of the 243rd reserve infantry regiment.
The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion is Hu Congfu, nicknamed the arrogant tiger. Apart from Zhang Yiping, this "salary-seeking group" has done a training course for officers of the Beiyang Army company commander when his military level is high.
The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion have reached the level of gunner after being trained by the gun king system. Hu Congfu certainly knows what this means to the troops.
Hu Congfu has a deep understanding of the army’s ability, so he can adopt tactics correctly in the battle, give full play to the shooting advantage of soldiers and kill the enemy to the maximum extent.
Beth is a medium-sized town with about 2,000 residents. The 32nd and 326th reserve infantry regiments left their artillery behind because they were running forward.
Even if the artillery followed, they wouldn’t dare to attack the city artillery, because the two regiments’ 75mm mountain artillery not only did harm to civilians, but also did negligible harm to China people.
At dusk, Beth was like a swamp trap. The intermittent machine gun in China’s sparse rifle rushed to the French infantry and fell to the ground.
I don’t think any rear commander thinks that soldiers fall to the ground to avoid rules, which doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hit by China bullets, but it’s getting more and more wrong later. These soldiers never get up after falling down, no matter how the officers behind them blow their whistle.
This is too strange. Aren’t the brave French soldiers willing to fight the Chinese workers and fall to the ground to "strike"?
It’s not surprising that the workers went on strike and the soldiers went on strike. Besides, these French soldiers have far greater affection for Chinese workers than the British team.
So another group of attacking soldiers were sent to the front of Beth Town, which was also killed. Only then did the regiment commander realize that things were not simple.
However, it was already late, and the remaining three battalions of the "salary-seeking regiment" were surrounded by all sides and immediately attacked the two regiments.
The strength of the four battalions is twice that of the two French reserve infantry regiments, plus marksmanship and other factors. The third battalion in Beth Town squeezed on all sides and took the opportunity to counterattack heavily. At last, the two infantry regiments could not be divided into several sections.
After nightfall, most French soldiers surrendered.
Four battalions quickly cleaned the battlefield and the horse set off for Paris overnight.
Zhang Yiping didn’t go to Beth. He followed Zhang Chang’s second battalion at midnight and later arrived at a small town called Oduan.
Oduan is a small town, but it is an important traffic artery leading to Paris, which is ten kilometers away from Paris.
If you want to break through here, the capital of Paris, France, will be ravaged like a naked girl.
There is a French reserve infantry division with more than 20 thousand people stationed here in Oduan.
When Zhang Yiping arrived, the first battalion of Sheng shopkeeper and the second battalion of Zhang Chang had repelled a French counterattack and established a forward position.
The French army tried to attack a small river in front of the town overnight while the first and second battalions came from afar, but they were jointly repelled by the first and second battalions. More than half of the troops of the three regiments were damaged and finally retreated into the city to defend the river.
Shortly after Zhang Yiping arrived, four battalions of Beth also arrived one after another.
China people want to occupy Paris with more than 6,000 Chinese laborers! Want to do something that millions of elite German army can’t do.
Chapter 43 Line up and shoot
-Ask for recommendation and collection! －－－－
The surprising move of the Chinese workers’ "salary-seeking group" really shocked the French high command, especially when the news of military failure came back.
In the afternoon, four infantry regiments were annihilated and the defenders stationed in Oduan lost about one regiment because of their rash attack, instead of repelling the enemy.
A dangerous atmosphere pervades the French high command in Paris.
This danger is not only a military threat to Paris, but also a threat to the leadership of the high command
Although there are more than 6 thousand Chinese workers, their record this day is shocking and smells dangerous.
If China breaks through Oudouan or bypasses Oudouan and pushes Paris, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Most of the troops of the French army have crushed the front line, especially in the area of Amiens, which is not many troops, but some reserve and police forces
