275 The main force of Hesse collapses
When Emile's teammates saw that there was only one person on the other side, they looked overjoyed, and they all burst into morale, and rushed up with a scream.
It has to be said that men who join the army and fight all have violent factors in their bones. Even if they didn’t, they were full of hostility under the violent training of the instructors!
This kind of hostility is also needed by the army!
Otherwise, all the soldiers in the army would shout, "Eat peaches, it's so cool." This army would probably be ruined...
Could it be that I went to the battlefield and conquered the enemy by acting cute?
If you encounter an enemy soldier who likes "hard and difficult", you may be able to save your life...
Of course, the crazy fighting spirit of soldiers on the battlefield is very terrifying in the eyes of the people of the country who have been peaceful for a long time, and it is no exaggeration to be described as a murderous demon!
The indifference of life by battlefield veterans is several times higher than that performed in film and television dramas. They are not only indifferent to the lives of their enemies, but also indifferent to the lives and deaths of their own people. Perhaps only when their own lives are threatened will arouse their deep fear.
This is actually a mental illness. So many veterans who returned to society after the end of the war in the United States have serious mental illness, which is the root cause of the disease that has fallen on the battlefield. This mental illness is often more difficult to eradicate than physical illnesses.
Because in the eyes of many veterans, there is no difference between life and death between humans and animals...
If it weren't for the constraints of the country's violent machine, these veterans who returned home after the war would immediately transform into murderous villains.
Because these veterans often slaughter and humiliate ordinary civilians in the occupied areas according to their own preferences in the war zone.
The unacceptable massacre of unreasonable massacres that cannot be accepted by people in a harmonious society in the 21st century is actually very common in war years, and many soldiers even kill people just to vent their negative emotions accumulated during the war!
Among the Hesse army, there are not only new recruits like Emile, but also many veterans. When they see the French army alone, they will naturally have an adrenal hormone surge.
Because the smoke from the large number of grenade explosions obscured the battlefield vision, Emil and others could not see the surrounding environment at all, and could only hear the explosions one after another. They thought it was a subsequent grenade throw, so they didn't care.
At this moment, Emil, who had never killed anyone with his own hands, was cowardly. He watched his teammates screaming and pounced on him, intending to surround the French Defense Army soldiers who were coming up. He paused and did not follow, but stood behind and looked at him with a terrified expression.
This is his first time since he completed the training of a recruit. The stimulation of bayonet fights is not comparable to that of a bullet killer.
Fighting cold weapons often tests people's courage even more.
Puchi!
The guard infantry used agile movements to insert the bayonet in his hand into a shocked and unresponsive Hessian veteran's chest, but before he could pull out the bayonet, he felt five severe pains all over his body, and the power in his body was instantly lost!
When the guard infantry inserted the bayonet into the enemy's chest, the Hesse veteran who surrounded him had already taken the opportunity to tie the guard infantry into a sieve...
For these Hesse veterans, it is too easy to find the opportunity to kill people.
A regular soldier may be able to fight and kill several ordinary civilians, but it is difficult for a special force soldier to fight and kill several regular soldiers!
It is because the European army's supervisors and officers were very strict on the battlefield in this era and deserters can be executed anytime and anywhere!
People in later generations only saw the British Redshirts' expressionless face, walked to the enemy's formation to shoot close-range shots, and admired the courage of the British Redshirts.
But I don’t know that behind the British Redshirts on the battlefield, there are a row of supervisors. Whoever dares to stop or retreat will die without the enemy killing them!
In addition, there were officers riding war horses among the various British Redshirts. These officers waved their sabers and could easily chop the turned deserters to the ground.
The thick smoke generated by the self-destruction of the guard infantry blocked the view of the Hesse army's supervisory team behind. Otherwise, Emir, who had been hiding on the ground for so long, would have been pulled out and shot on the spot.
The second lieutenant officer followed Emil and stared at him. Emil could even feel the sharpness on the tip of the other party's saber!
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the white mist in front of him. A Hessian soldier who was somewhat mentally ill escaped back empty-handedly, attracting the attention of the lieutenant.
The next second, the white mist in front rushed out with a soldier in the French Defense Force uniform. After seeing the white smoke coming out from the other party, Emile's legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground, holding his head in the ground like an ostrich, burying his face in the soil...
As for the lieutenant, he greeted the three Hessian soldiers around him and greeted him with a grim smile.
Puff~boom!
After two sharp blades entered the flesh, a violent explosion sounded not far from Emil lying on the side of Emil, which made Emil buzz and buzz, and for a moment, no sound could be heard...
Emil felt a warm liquid spraying on his arm. He looked up and saw a broken arm falling beside him. The wrist of the broken arm was still holding a saber tightly. The style was the one held by the second lieutenant who had just forced him to move forward!
Emil continued to look up, and as expected, the second lieutenant who forced himself to go up and die, his eyes wide open, and there was still a look of fear in his unsightly eyes. Beside him was a broken French Wehrmacht soldier who had been bombed to form...
“It’s so scary!
The French are all crazy!
We can't win, we will lose, we will lose..."
Emil murmured and retreated, his remaining reason preventing him from throwing away the flintlock rifle in his hand.
Soldiers who throw away their weapons will be punished very severely after returning.
Emil got up and ran towards the back without looking back.
At this time, there were still many Hessian soldiers rushing forward, but more people fleeing back!
As the battlefield was covered with thick smoke, the Hessian soldiers behind could not see the tragic battle, so they were still moving forward.
But there were not a few Hessian soldiers who fled back. They quickly informed the terrifying scenes they saw to the Hessian soldiers and even officers who were rushing forward!
As a result, the Hesse Legion that was attacking was a slap, and more and more Hesse soldiers joined the escape sequence!
Not long after, the supervisory team behind could not stop it and was dispersed by the defeated soldiers...
As the Hessian Corps in one direction was defeated, a chain reaction was soon caused, and more and more Hessian Corps in other directions were defeated.
The overall defeat of the Hesse Corps caused the guard infantry of the French Wehrmacht to stop the self-destruction tactics. The guard infantry extinguished the ignited leads and began to load bullets for their muskets, loading them while walking, and following behind the Hesse Corps to shoot.
Although there were few people and could not fire many bullets, the Hessen defeated soldiers became even more frightened, and their morale quickly fell below zero!
Just as the generals of the Hesse Legion gathered the defeated troops and reorganized the troops, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the other side of the jungle, and a team of guards appeared at the end of the official road!
The battalion commander of the French Defense Forces, who was bait, showed a gratified smile on his face when he saw the flag of the guards' cavalry, ordered the last soldiers: "Our reinforcements have arrived, everyone charges with me!"
The French Defense Forces battalion commander, with his men, attacked the guards and cavalry on both sides, easily defeating the Hesse Corps that blocked their retreat.
The defeat on the front line caused the overall morale of the Hesse Legion to drop significantly. After all, no one expected that a team ten times the enemy would ambush a battalion of French Defense Forces, and attack from all directions, would fail!
This is simply impossible in the Continental War!
In fact, the defeat of the Hesse Legion was mainly because they had not fought with the French Defense Forces. If the Austrian Legion came, they might not be able to conquer for a long time, but all fronts would not collapse one after another!
Because the Austrian Legion would not stolen everyone, they knew very well that the French Defence Force's self-destruction tactics would be powerful and would be put into the army in batches, and after one wave of defeat, the next wave would be sent, so that the defeated troops would not collapse with other troops.
The emotions of collapse are contagious!
Unfortunately, the generals of the Hesse Legion pursued a quick victory and were worried that the main force of the French Defence Force's vanguard troops would come, so they invested all the main force from the beginning.
The concerns of the Hesse Legion generals are very correct. This battalion is just a forward scout reconnaissance battalion in the French Defence Force's vanguard regiment, and there is also the main force of the vanguard regiment behind it!
And this vanguard regiment is the First Regiment of the First Army, 1st Division led by Napoleon!
The large French Defence Force, which suddenly appeared on the flank of the main force of the Hesse Legion, was the main force of the first regiment led by Napoleon himself to quietly detour!
Of course, the number of main players in the First Regiment of Napoleon's First Division is still not as large as that of the Hesse Legion now, but the Hesse Legion had just experienced a great defeat and his morale was sluggish. There were many soldiers like Emile who were scared, even many veterans!
At this time, the main force of the first regiment led by Napoleon suddenly appeared on their weak flanks and launched a fierce attack. A team of guards and cavalry appeared on the front battlefield to rescue the ambushed battalion. Even soldiers like Emile knew that they had been defeated!
If even grassroots soldiers have the idea of defeat, the army will naturally not have much combat power.
Napoleon, with troops with far fewer troops than the Hesse Legion, destroyed the main force of the Hesse Principality with a destruction!
In addition to the troops that did not participate in the first ambush attack, the main force of tens of thousands of people in the Principality of Hesse collapsed in just half a day.
Chapter completed!
