Isn’t it too cruel to treat people as shields, tie them in front, and block bullets for one’s own side?

In war, victory or defeat is the most important thing. Historical books are written by the winners, and no one needs to say that anyone is inhumane.

During World War I, troops once did this, but they were French at that time, tied German prisoners and civilians to charge in front of their chariots. Who had held the French responsible?

No war has anything to do with civilians, it is just a nonsense. Everything is based on victory! And for victory, various means can be used.

The poisonous gas bombs during World War I are an example.

Now, in order to persevere, Scholzne must do everything possible to delay the French army's actions. Of course, he knew what his troops would mean when they control this place. He would withstand ten times or even a hundred times the attacks of the French. If he didn't use some tricks, how could he persevere until the reinforcements arrived?

Just this person's shield can block the other party for a few hours!

As for the safety of these human shields, the decision lies with the other party's French commander, and it depends on how the other party handles it.

This is definitely a headache choice.

As the commander-in-chief, Darlang is in this state now. He was confident and could be 100% sure of his first attack, but he was beaten back with his butt and urine!

The reason is very simple, because the Germans were crazy about using civilians and prisoners to make shields, blocking their attack!

How can this be done?

"The Germans are too much. This is a blatant violation of the Geneva Convention." Beside Darlang, the commander of the Army Reserve Division, Pierre, shouted almost at the top of his voice, shouting like a rooster.

This approach is indeed an excessive, but now it is not the time to discuss the Geneva Convention. In fact, when a war is really fought and jealous, all kinds of methods can be used. The behavior of the Germans is the most effective for them now.

What the Germans need is time. It is beneficial to the Germans. Darlang knew that he would never fall into the trap of the other party, which means that he had to make a quick decision!

"Ten minutes of shelling." Dallang said: "After the artillery fire is covered, we will attack again."

Darlang's words immediately stunned the people present.

Covered by artillery fire! What does this mean? Most of those human shields will die!

Even if the experience gained from World War I was found, it was very necessary to carry out artillery-covered strikes before the attack. Artillery fire could destroy the opponent's will and consume the opponent's vitality. Especially now, when the German airborne troops arrived here in a hurry, they could not effectively arrange various fortifications.

However, in the first attack just now, Dallang did not order artillery fire to cover it because he was afraid of accidental injury.

And now, it’s about to be injured by accident!

"General, if we carry out artillery fire strikes, those hostages captured by the Germans..." Pierre did not continue to say anything. He was just shocked just now, and now he understood.

Instead of letting those hostages be killed in the exchange of fire, it is better to use cannons now. After all, the attack of cannons does not need to be face-to-face, and does not have to see how those hostages fall under their own guns, which will bring great burden to many people.

Rather than killing hostages with bullets, it is better to use cannons.

"Execute the order," said Darlang. "We don't know any hostages. Now, we only know that a group of Germans control our vault, which contains thousands of tons of French gold."

There is nothing to hide, so that the soldiers can know why they fight.

Those people were originally guarding gold. According to the truth, they should bravely and tenaciously resist the attack of the Germans and die until the last one. Now they are alive and will go to the military court afterwards.

It is better than now, their heroic sacrifice can give them a good ending.

As an admiral, as a general who saved the entire French Republic at this critical moment, Darlang had no choice but to make up his mind!

Ci is not in charge of the army, now it is time to sacrifice!

"Execute the order, I am the supreme commander here." Darlang continued, he issued the order, and he should bear the responsibility if something happens in the future.

What responsibility is greater than losing thousands of tons of gold? As long as the gold is rescued, he will not have any fault. If the gold is not snatched back, then his best ending is to die here in battle.

What are the lives of some prisoners? It can be said that if Darlang is now used as a human shield, he will order the fire. If you want to blame it, you will blame them for their bad life!

Darlang's order was issued. After receiving the order, an artillery battalion belonging to the reserve division immediately began to prepare.

In World War II in history, France was purely a so-called character. During the entire war, there was no eye-catching thing. It made people think that France was shouting the slogan of the most powerful army on the mainland, but in fact it was nothing.

Of course, this is not the case. France actually has some good equipment, such as its artillery.

Just talking about ground suppression artillery with a caliber of 65 to 155 mm, France deserves its reputation in World War I and World War II, and no other country can compare with it.

For example, the m1897 type 75mm field cannon.

From the name point of view, we can know that this kind of artillery was established in 1897. Judging from now on, it is definitely at the level of an old man.

Moreover, the range and weight of this gun are average, but the rate of fire is the awesome one, and no other cannon can match it!

How fast is it? The firing rate is 15 to 18 rounds per minute. It can be said that the bolt-action rifle is not so fast! It is almost twice the German FK96 Type 77 field gun of the same period.

Even now, this kind of fire rate is extremely amazing. At the same time, this old-father-level artillery is still active on the battlefield. The current reserve infantry division is equipped with 18 such artillery. At the same time, they only have this kind of artillery to be equipped, and other advanced artillery must be given priority to the front-line troops.

After receiving the order, the artillery prepared nervously and orderly.

They pushed their 75mm field cannon and slowly pushed forward. This field cannon is actually a cannon with a straight ballistic trajectory and an effective range of only 8,500 meters. Therefore, it has to push forward a little before it can effectively attack.

They didn't know that at this time, the 50mm tank gun opposite, was aiming at them.

A piece of grape vine covered the Black Panther 2 tank just in place. Some leaves in front were cleared, leaving a clear shooting range. From the high-magnification aiming system, the tank hands could easily see the situation on the opposite side.
