Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 716

  "Stop, stop... Soldiers, as a general, I order you to stop, and you are not allowed to escape."

  General Enzo drew a sharp command knife to stand on the bank of the river, and ordered the French soldiers who fled to the opposite bank to form a line to shoot at the chaotic enemy and cover the chaotic French soldiers in the stream to land.

  I have to say that the foreign legion is strong in combat effectiveness and strict in discipline.

  Under the kick and scolding of General Enzo, a rifle team of three to four hundred people was quickly assembled, and the guns were raised to fire platoons of guns at the Vietnamese soldiers who were in hot pursuit.

   "Papa Papa..."

  At this time, the Vietnamese soldiers pursuing them all the way had reached a distance of several 10 meters. Suddenly, they were baptized with platoon guns, bursting out a cloud of blood fog, "Hula La" fell a large area, and immediately disrupted the pursuit of troops.

   "Papa Papa..."

   "Papa Papa..."

The remnants of the French Foreign Corps were extremely lethal in several rounds of platoon gun shooting. They really stunned the chasing soldiers, and they dispersed and retreated in a panic. At this time, someone remembered to raise their guns to fight back, "cracking" across the crimson stream. "The opposite shot.

  After a few minutes of delay, another two or three thousand remnants escaped the stream, regained a certain degree of combat effectiveness under the organization of the officers, and began to shoot at the chasing troops across the stream to buy time for the remaining comrades.

  "Don't fight the general anymore, run quickly." Colonel Buffon ran over in embarrassment and grabbed General Enzo's arm and said.

  General Enzo shook off his arms angrily and cursed; "Let go of me, you coward, go back and organize your troops to fight back. I will rely on the stream to teach them severely..."

   "Don't tell me, General, the enemy has outflanked from upstream and downstream. If you don't leave, you will be surrounded."

"what…"

  General Enzo only took care of directing the battle. At this time, he hurriedly looked up and looked left and right after hearing the words, his face turned pale with fright.

  Upstream of the stream, the Black Flag Army has crossed most of the river, and downstream of the stream, at least one regiment of the elite Yueguo First Division has crossed the stream and is coming out of the middle part.

  Think about it

   The two forces on the left and the right had attacked along the stream. The French foreign corps swarmed across the stream and fled. Naturally, they easily crossed the stream to pursue them, but General Enzo did not pay attention.

   "Oh, God, we have to turn in immediately..."

   Colonel Buffon saw the enemy army on the opposite side of the stream, and once again raised the muzzle of the guns, frightened, and hid behind General Enzo.

  Almost at the same time as he flashed away, there was a muffled sound of "puff puff puff puff..." A large group of blood mist appeared in the queue of French soldiers, and a piece of soldiers fell.

   Colonel Buffon was empty, and he was shocked when he fixed his eyes. General Enzo's scrambled general's uniform was pierced with blood by bullets, and blood was gurgling outward.

  General Enzo's gray-blue eyes looked towards the sky feebly, blood was spitting on his throat, and he was speechless.

   "Your Excellency General, what do you have to order?" Colonel Buffon stretched his ears pretendingly, nodded and said; "Don't worry, I will follow your instructions and take the troops out of danger."

  Then he quickly stood up and ordered; "Soldiers, I have been authorized by the general to command this force. Now I need you to stay to block the enemy, to gain time for the main force to retreat, and the others to retreat with me."

  A captain of the French Foreign Corps who first occupied the shore and fired hostile fires. He was ordered to command the remaining less than 200 people to block the pursuit. The others followed Colonel Buffon and ran towards the distant jungle.

   From time to time, there were gunshots from behind, knocking the fleeing French soldiers to the ground, groaning in pain.

  The battle lasted less than an hour before and after the battle. A total of 7,200 soldiers of the French Foreign Corps, known as the indestructible, were destroyed.

  Such a brilliant record has greatly inspired the Vietnamese army.

It turns out that these ghosts also have hands and feet, and they also carry a head on their shoulders. They will die if they are shot. After the fear in their hearts dissipated, the soldiers became more confident and began to chase the French deserters all over the country. .

  You should know that there is a reward for killing or catching a white guy alive, a 30 tael, double the lieutenant officer, double the officer, and the price of life and death is the same.

  So it’s not French soldiers who are running all over the mountains, but Quante is money!

  Especially the Black Flag Army chased the most. These Guangxi mountain people are also afraid of poverty. Where can they let go of the opportunity to make a lot of money?

  It was really letting go of the feet and rushing forward. From time to time, I could see the front comrades escorting the dejected French soldiers back in groups, laughing from ear to ear.

  That's anxious!

  I really wished my feet had a hot wheel, and slid to the front.

  The battle report came soon

  In the battle of Beixi Camp, more than 2,400 French troops were injured and more than 1,300 were captured. In addition, the Black Flag Army has been chasing crazy, and the number of killed, wounded, and prisoners has been reported one after another.

  There is no doubt that this is a complete victory.

  The Black Flag Army suffered the most casualties in this battle, with more than 3,700 casualties, and more than 1,650 casualties in the rest. 12 legal 75mm artillery pieces were seized, 4 Ma Kemin heavy machine guns, and countless other military horses.

  It can be seen from this that the combat effectiveness of the French Foreign Legion is indeed good.

The French commanders are too big. I really don’t know if they are stupid or out of the pride of the French soldiers. They give up sticking to the wooden camp and take the initiative to meet the enemy. Much stronger.

  Li Shuanzhu didn't care about the casualties of the army. The casualties of more than 5,000 people are fully bearable for an army of 40,000 people, and there are so many poor Guangxi people who are not afraid of sacrifice.

  This battle gave the whole army a shot of invigorating medicine, radiating the spirit and self-confidence that officers and soldiers once lost, which is very rare.

  After a few **** battles, you can quickly pull up a strong army.

Most of the Yue State 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions were ordered to return soon after chasing down the stream. After taking some dry food for a while, they hurriedly drove towards Hanoi, ready to continue their efforts to defeat the reinforcement enemy and advance in. Hanoi City.

  A command came from up the peak;

  Into the city of Hanoi, the sword will not be sealed for three days, but the building is not allowed to be burned, the Chinese are not allowed to be killed, and those who violate the order are cut!

  This command came, and the thrilling whole army really screamed, and the murderous rushed all the way towards Hanoi.

  Hanoi direction

  Reinforced French troops marched along the dirt road. The long queue could not see the end at a glance. The French flags in the team were flying high, and the morale was quite good.

  These soldiers have been here for a short period of one or two months, and they have grown to seven or eight months. They have already adapted to the hot climate of South Asia. In March, there was already a high temperature of 25 or six degrees, and the air was humid and sultry.

  Under the shade of the trees along the road

The commander of the French Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Leo Fernandez, wearing a straight general uniform with white gloves on his hands, riding on a white pure-blooded Arabian horse with no variegated body, took out his pocket watch and glanced impatiently. ; "Damn it, our marching speed is still slow, the front battle is going on intensely, continue our military assistance."

"Your Excellency Commander, our troops set off immediately after receiving the order. Now it has been...nearly three hours. After crossing the Qidaowan area in front, we approached Beixi Camp. The movements are very fast and everything is under control. middle."

   "Lieutenant Colonel Bullock, what I am thinking about now is not this, but the foreign legion garrison united with Beixi Camp to slay the past, completely end all this, and let those mud legs taste the power of the bayonet."

  "Your Excellency Commander, in this case, we must consider a reasonable distribution of physical strength. The young guys consume too much energy for three hours of marching in the sun and must be repaired."

   "Arrive at Beixi Camp for repairs. I heard the gunshots in front gradually calm down. There is always a bad premonition. Oh, my God, General Enzo won't wipe out all the enemies, right?"

   "It's very possible, maybe we're going for nothing." Lieutenant Colonel Bullock shrugged regretfully, his words revealed a strong arrogance.

  Leo Fernandez smiled at the corner of his mouth; “It’s really a shame that these nasty cockroaches made me get up from my comfortable bed early in the morning. I won’t spare them lightly.”

  Several senior generals were talking, and there was a mess of gunfire in front of them, which immediately attracted their attention.

   "Damn it, who is shooting?"
