Make France Great Again

Chapter 540 Fortress Meat Grinder

"North Shore...it's over!"

Looking at the warships constantly bombarding the south bank, the adjutant let out a cry of despair, then turned his head and rushed towards the barracks on the north bank of Sevastopol.

Since naval gun support can no longer be counted on, the remaining 1,000 people in the barracks must be pulled to the Star Fortress at least.

In this case, at least the Star Fortress can hold on for a while.

However, when the adjutant rushed to the barracks on horseback, there were not many people in the barracks. There were only a company of less than 250 people and a militia detachment of less than 100 people.

Looking at the empty military camp in front of him and the remaining soldiers in the military camp.

The adjutant's head felt as if someone had punched him hard with a fist, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears.

Where are people? Where have all my hot people gone!

The adjutant roared in his heart, and his expression became even more desperate.

The current plan to seek naval gun support is in vain, and the reinforcements in the barracks are also missing.

Where should he go?

"Sir...is there anything I can do for you?" Just when the adjutant was falling into despair, a voice came to his mind.

The adjutant who came back to his senses raised his head and saw the only remaining troops in the military camp, and asked urgently: "Where are the other people in the military camp?"

The company commander of the only remaining company explained to the adjutant that more than a thousand soldiers who originally lived in the barracks had left the north bank in a small boat an hour ago, and they were the only ones left.

"Who! Who ordered them to leave! Why didn't they notify us?" the adjutant asked the company commander with a hint of tears.

"Lieutenant General Nassimov's order!" the company commander responded to the adjutant.

"Lieutenant General Nassimov...Lieutenant General Nassimov..." After the adjutant muttered to himself several times, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that the Star Fortress... no, it should be said that the entire North Shore had been abandoned by Lieutenant General Nassimov!

What kind of bullshit is it to open up the north and south sides of the Taiwan Strait so that we can support you at any time! (Kornilov’s propaganda to appease the soldiers on the north coast)

It's just Nan'an's trick to fool them. They have been Nan'an's abandoned sons from the beginning!

"Why don't you go with them?" the adjutant asked, glancing at the company commander.

"Report to the commander!" The company commander responded to the adjutant in a sonorous tone: "I don't think we should escape from here. Every inch of land here was built with our hard work! Even if we die, we will die here!"

"You..." The adjutant's voice was slightly choked. He didn't know how he should comment on the "silly" company commander and his "silly" soldiers in front of him.

From their bodies, the adjutant seemed to see the Russian Empire in 1812. The ancestors at that time might have fought with the same ideas as them!

"Very good!" The adjutant, who had been taught a lesson by the soldiers, turned from confusion to determination. He nodded and praised the company commander: "You and your men are both good!"

"Thank you!" The company commander responded to the adjutant with a confident smile on his face.

Subsequently, the adjutant explained the situation currently facing the Star Fortress, and then asked them if they were willing to go to the Star Fortress.

The result was as expected by the adjutant. None of the soldiers present flinched. They unswervingly expressed to the adjutant that they were willing to fight until the last moment.

"You are real Russian soldiers!" The adjutant nodded, and then saluted the warriors in front of him.

The soldiers in the military camp also returned the salute to the adjutant. Under the leadership of the adjutant, the remaining 326 people in the military camp followed him towards the Star Fortress.

At this time, in the Star Fortress, the Russian and French armies that had stopped shelling had now entered meat grinder mode.

One after another, the French soldiers climbed over the ditch and came to the slope under the command of the commander. On the slope were parapets. The height of each parapet was about 2 meters. Although the thickness was not enough to protect against artillery shells kilometers, it was enough to protect against meters. Nirvana shot.

The Russian Imperial soldiers hiding behind the parapet kept firing at the French soldiers down the slope. When the French soldiers fired bullets at them, they could hide behind the parapet and quietly listen to the Miné bombs hitting the parapet. on the sound.

After the sound ended, the Russian Imperial soldiers leaned out half of their bodies from the parapet and shot at the French army.

In just half an hour, more than 100 French soldiers fell on the way up the slope.

Attack after attack was repulsed by the Russian Imperial troops behind the breastworks.

Of course, the Russian Imperial Army that repelled the attack was not much better.

When the French soldiers in the front row were marching up the slope, the French soldiers in the back row had already raised their miniguns and pointed them at the Russian Imperial Army behind the parapet. As soon as the Russian Imperial Army started to move forward, they would become the focus of the rear row soldiers' sniper killing. Object.

Not only that, some French soldiers also aimed their guns at the fort on the fortress wall. As long as the Russian Empire appeared next to the fort, they would quickly pull the trigger and kill the Russian artillery.

From the beginning to now, 6 artillerymen on the city wall have been sniped by the French army.

About 200 of the Russian Imperial troops hiding behind the breastworks were also killed by the French.

The casualty ratio between the Russian Empire and the French Empire remained at about 1:2.

This exchange ratio is the worst since France went to war with the Russian Empire.

In the past, France basically had an exchange ratio of about 1:7 or 1:8.

This time the French army did encounter a tougher nut to crack.

After another wave of offensives by the French army was repelled by the Russian Empire, Canrobert, who was about one kilometer away from the Star Fortress, used a telescope to see the situation of the Star Fortress. He frowned and looked at the adjutant Jérôme Pablo next to him. Tesun (Jérôme Patterson is the adjutant of the headquarters and the adjutant of the first division) said: "Let the regiment responsible for the attack come down! Enter Zhuav!"

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson rode to the foot of the Star Fortress and issued Canrobert's order to the regiment leader!

"Why!" the regiment leader said angrily with a tearful voice: "Why do you let me come down? I've almost succeeded! Major Jérôme, can you please tell the division commander! Give us a little more time, I No more than half an hour! After half an hour, if I can't capture this fortress, I will take off my uniform and leave the army! Now my army has formed a conflict with the opponent. If I don't defeat them, my men will I’m not willing to give in!”

Jerome Patterson listened quietly to what the regiment commander said, and then replied coldly: "I am just a person responsible for delivering the message. It is entirely up to you whether to execute the division commander's order or not!"

Jerome Patterson's words directly blocked the "emotional card" of the regiment leader. He knew what kind of outcome he would face if he did not obey General Canrobert's order.

Therefore, even though he was very unwilling in his heart, he still had no way to disobey General Canrobert's order.

The consequences of disobeying your superiors are very serious!

After Jerome Patterson left, the regiment commander looked at the fortress in front of him with a look of dismay on his face and gave the order to retreat to the regiment chief of staff beside him.

The main offensive group was responsible for the retreat. After discovering the withdrawal of the French army, the defenders on the Star Fortress thought that the French army would not attack due to concerns about casualties, and smiles appeared on their faces.

At this moment, more than 300 soldiers led by the adjutant also felt the Star Fortress.

After entering the fortress, the adjutant reported the situation in the port to the fortress commander.

"I've almost guessed it!" the commander said to the adjutant with a helpless smile.

The adjutant then explained their current situation to the fortress commander.

"Now, our fortress has completely turned into an isolated city!" the adjutant replied quietly to the fortress commander.

"Even if it is an isolated city, we must persist in defending it!" The fortress commander's attitude was also very decisive.

Subsequently, the fortress commander distributed the soldiers brought by the adjutant to supplement the lost troops.

About 10 minutes later, an officer wearing a Russian military uniform limped out of the French army. It seemed that he should be a Russian officer who was captured in the Battle of Alma.

When he came to the slope, the Russian Imperial troops on the slope pointed their muskets at the Russian officer.

"Don't shoot! I'm from the 17th Division! I have something to say to your fortress commander!" the Russian officer raised his hands and shouted while walking up the slope.

When he reached the first parapet, two Russian soldiers appeared and escorted the Russian officer to the Star Fortress.

The Russian officers who entered the fortress saw the commander inside the fortress.

The fortress commander looked at the captured Russian commander in front of him with disdain and said in a disdainful tone: "What do you want from me?"

"That's right! General Conrobel wants your troops to lay down their arms and surrender. He can guarantee the safety of life and property in your entire fortress!" The Russian commander said to the fortress commander with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Tell Canrobel that there are only Russian soldiers who died in battle in this world, not captured Russian soldiers!" the fortress commander sneered.

"You..." The captured Russian commander's voice trembled with anger, and he pointed at the fortress commander.

"Get out of here! I'm really afraid that I can't help but kill you!" the fortress commander loudly reprimanded the captured Russian commander.

The Russian commander left the position in embarrassment, and the Star Fortress burst into laughter.

When the Russian commander who returned to the French camp reported to Canrobert with embarrassment, Canrobert was determined to completely eliminate the guys who were stubbornly resisting.

The large and small Napoleon cannons fired again, this time aiming at the parapets on the slope.

After about 20 minutes of shelling, 60% of the parapets that had been bombarded by artillery were still not destroyed.

This round of shelling killed and wounded more than a hundred people.

After the artillery coverage ended, the Zhuav regiment led by Brigadier General Bazin once again appeared under the Star Fortress.

The Russian troops on the Star Fortress looked at the strangely dressed French troops below and their expressions changed greatly: "They are Zhuav soldiers!"

"Soldier Zhuav? What is that?" the soldier beside him asked curiously.

The soldier explained the origin of the "Zhuafu" to the soldiers around him. The soldiers around him also felt a little uneasy after hearing the origin of the "Zhuafu" regiment.

Brigadier General Bazin, who was riding a horse, glanced at the Star Fortress, and he was determined to conquer the fortress in the shortest possible time.

He wants to use this building to make his name.

Therefore, Brigadier General Bazin decided to go into battle himself. He dismounted and said to the soldiers beside him: "In this battle, I will climb to the top with you! No one is allowed to retreat. Once he is found to be retreating, Even I will be dealt with by military law! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" shouted the soldier from the Zhuav regiment.

"very good!"

Under the leadership of Brigadier General Bazin, look for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com The Zhuaft regiment was like a giant beast waking up from its sleep. They climbed over the trench and reached the slope at extremely fast speed.

After seeing the skills of the Zhuav regiment, the Russian soldiers who used the parapet on the slope as a cover immediately realized that the group of soldiers in front of them were not at the same level as the previous soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhuav regiment who came to the slope dodged left and right, and it took only a few minutes to rush to the first parapet.

In close combat, this group of Russian soldiers who did not have much combat experience were no match for them. The Zhuav soldiers who kept coming up killed the Russian soldiers behind the parapet at extremely fast speeds.

Then, he rushed to the second parapet effortlessly.

In just fifteen minutes, the vanguard of the Zhuav Regiment had completely rushed to the open space in front of the Star Fortress.
