Chapter 469 Moltke Who Wants To Fight One On (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
On September 9, Paris, the capital of France, was surrounded by a hundred thousand Prussian troops.

Yesterday, the Prussian army arrived at the city, and then began to encircle the city. Although Marshal McMahon, who had retreated to Paris, organized the city defense and mobilized soldiers under the emperor's behest, the city was able to survive in a hurry. How long it will last is still unknown.

The Prussian army that arrived in Paris did not even rest, and launched an attack on Paris in the early morning of the next day.In just a few hours, the North German Allied Forces poured more than [-] shells into Paris. Although the intensity of the artillery fire was not as strong as theirs in Sedan, it was also regarded as one of the largest artillery bombardments in history. one.

"Quick, quick..."

On several artillery places outside Paris, Krupp steel cannons were camouflaged by the Prussians with branches, fishing nets, etc., and the artillery positions were even deployed directly in the woods.To avoid exposing the position, it has to be said that the Prussians responded extremely quickly. After Sedan suffered an air attack, they immediately made targeted adjustments, among which the camouflage of the troops became the top priority , after all, they were really terrified of being bombed.

It even caused a psychological shadow. After the Battle of Sedan, it took the Prussians almost two days to resume their offensive-this was because they had obtained information.

The airship is useless!
They spent all their bombs and shells at Sedan, and even fuel.

Therefore, we must hurry up and take down Paris before they replenish their supplies!

Hundreds of Krupp cannons are thus hidden in the woods around Paris. These Krupp cannons use steel rifled barrels and are loaded from the breech. In the hands of experienced and well-trained artillerymen, it can even fire 10 rounds/minute top rate of fire.In terms of range, the effective range of Krupp artillery can reach 3500 meters.

The German soldiers operating the Krupp rear-mounted steel guns were not worried about the French cannons at all-the range of the French bronze front-mounted guns was only about 2500 meters.

For a whole day and night, the woods outside the city have been shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke, and the shells fell like raindrops on the French military fortifications and strongholds inside and outside Paris. After preparing the Chasepeau rifle four years ago, this advanced rifle It also changed the tactics of the French: French soldiers were required to learn to dig trenches with shovels within 30 minutes, and use their advanced rifles and secret weapon machine guns to sweep down the Prussians in the trenches.

After the Prussian army physically tested the superiority of the French Chasepo rifle, they immediately withdrew their troops out of the range of the French infantry and beat the French army with their superior steel Krupp cannon.Therefore, relying on the advantage of rifles alone cannot defeat the Prussian army. Instead, the Prussian army relied on its artillery and strength advantages to outflank the French army on both wings, easily defeating the French army time and time again.

"Target……"

On this huge artillery position, the officers with binoculars were constantly adjusting their targets, blasting the French positions into the sky again and again with accurate artillery fire.

Under the accurate and violent artillery fire, the defensive fortresses and fortifications outside Paris have been reduced to ruins, and the destroyed positions are full of dead soldiers, and the flames go straight into the sky.

But even so, whenever the Prussian army launched an attack, what awaited them was still the fierce rifle fire of the French, and they attacked again and again, and were repelled again and again under the tenacious resistance.

The battle situation on the front line was quickly sent to the Palace of Versailles in the southwestern suburbs of Paris by telegram. This is the headquarters of the Prussian army and the residence of King William I of Prussia. According to the Prussian system, the king must be with his army headquarters during war Together, this is the duty of the king as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the Prussian monarch who is not a hypocrite.After all, in the unpredictable wartime, the king's opinions and decisions are indispensable for the issuance of various orders of the General Staff.

When the Battle of Sedan was frustrated, William I, Bismarck and the old Moltke were also on the front line to supervise the battle. After the army suffered heavy losses in the air strike, it was with his support that Moltke finally decided to drive the Prussian army straight into the hinterland of France. Almost surrounded Paris.

The base camp of William I moved to the outskirts of Paris along with the large army.

"Your Majesty, the Nanhua Army is here!"

This news is not unexpected. After all, in the past half a month, newspapers all over Europe have been reporting this news, which is definitely not good news.

"Where's their airship?"

William I was more concerned with their airship.After all, when they were in Sedan, what their airship brought to Prussia was a disaster at all.

Even now he can still remember the horrors after the bombing ended.If it weren't for Nanhua's airship, perhaps they would have won Sedan by now.

Even the emperor of France may become his captive, and the war will be over.

But the appearance of the airship changed everything.Not only does this war continue indefinitely, but more importantly, they must consider the threat posed by airships in every battle now.

"Did they fly to Le Havre?"

William I said with a long sigh of relief when he learned that the airship in Orleans had not changed.

"At least, we don't have to worry about their airships now."

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as their airships don't get fuel and bombs, then we can defeat them on the battlefield, or at least stop their rescue of Paris. According to our intelligence, the army they sent should be around 3.5. Relying solely on this army, it is absolutely impossible to relieve Paris."

As the chief of the general staff, Moltke is still extremely conceited until now. This should be self-confidence!It is confidence in the fighting power of the Prussian Army. Perhaps Nanhua's airships are very powerful, but God can testify that it is because Prussian soldiers have no wings. If God gave them wings, they would definitely not be afraid of that airship.

Even in the depths of their hearts, many Prussian soldiers, including Moltke, have an obsession—hope to fight the South China Army in an upright manner, of course not in the air, nor at sea... Well, sea is also possible, although The Prussian navy is not as good as the French's thigh hair, but it is certainly not inferior to the South China Army.

It's better to fight an upright battle on the ground!

9 month 2 day.

Sedan... is simply a disgrace to the Prussian army!
Ever since the rise of Prussia, when did they suffer such losses? Now that the Nanhua army has finally arrived, let's fight a battle with dignity.

For a moment, Moltke even wondered whether he should write a letter of challenge.Tell the other party clearly - we fight alone, but not with the kind of airship!

"Can you be sure that their airship will not be put into battle in the short term?"

"Your Majesty, the railway from Le Havre to Orleans has been cut off by us, unless, they..."

Suddenly, Moltke realized the problem.

The Nanhua army can indeed fly, and Nanhua's airship can fly!At any moment their airship could be flying across the sky, flying past their blockade, and getting supplies.Then their airship will once again appear on the battlefield...

Then what will be waiting for them?

It must be a disaster!
