C3292 Bloody Battle Saint Michel's Street

The bloodbath began on St. Michel's Street, the most important location on the left bank where the commune had been built. It was also the most famous street in the city.

The rows and rows of shops had long become fortresses. commune warrior with rich experience in street fighting had constructed at least six sandbag wall s on the street.

If the government forces wanted to attack St. Michel's Street, they would have to attack from the south, so Paris Commune had set up twelve cannons and set up a small ammunition depot at the north side of the street, near the Sorbonne and the Pantheon.

The National Guard who was guarding this place were very confident. They firmly believed that no matter how many enemies came here, they would not be able to get past this place.

However, they never expected that today, they would encounter an army that was armed to the teeth!

The attack took place when the commune was completely unprepared. It was currently the darkest moment before dawn, and in at most another fifteen minutes, the sky would be white. The long night had already passed, and all the soldiers could finally relax.

There were even many warriors of the commune that were leaning against the sandbag wall and dozing off!

French Emperor's army, known as the trump card of North Africa, had already snuck up. In the darkness, grenadier's body was tied up with thunder, and they were crawling in the shadows at the corners.

Each of them lay prone on the ground, moving in silence like predators lizards in the desert, slowly approaching the enemy's position!

When they were ten meters away from the first sandbag, the veterans started to place the hand grenades on their waists one by one on the street, even arranging the fuse ropes.

All of a sudden, the oldest of the veterans threw a grenade, followed by a hail of grenades, at the unsuspecting defenders.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosion woke up all the dozing soldiers, but before they could wake up, the vanguard troops had already rushed forward.

"Kill without mercy! "Charge forward quickly!"

Pah pah pah … The sound of gunfire rang out as countless people died in the defense line. These ruthless veterans supported each other with their firepower. Every time a squad started charging forward, there would be other allies supporting them with their firepower.

The bullets were shot so accurately that the defenders could not even lift their heads!

"Old soldiers won't die!" The Empire was indestructible! "Attack with a bayonet …"

The shiny bayonet leapt through the streets like a jungle. The soldier jumped over a half man tall sandbag wall and directly rushed towards the abdomen of the first line of defense.

How could those surviving commander-in-chiefs be the opponents of these wolf-like veterans? Just a single face-off from the White Soldier Assault was enough to cause a person to fall flat on his back.

The experienced French army could use their bayonets to deflect their opponents' weapons. The spirit serpent of a bayonet could pierce through the heart of the enemy without using much force.

Most of the veterans paid attention to cooperation. One of them blocked the enemy's weapon, while the other used a sharp knife. Sharp white blades pierced through the chests of the soldiers, violently stirring up their lungs!

The soldier that was screaming in pain vomited large mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground, twitching non-stop!

There was no mercy, no sympathy, only the most efficient slaughter. These veterans' killing was like slaughtering sheep and cattle for the rest of their lives. It had completely turned into an instinct!

In just a quarter of an hour, the first line of defense had been broken. Over three hundred National Guard's corpses were strewn all over the streets, and there were still more than a hundred people fleeing towards the north in a panic.

"Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Comrades's War... "

It was at this moment that the bells of Notre Dame in the north rang, and the whole of Paris knew that the army had begun its general assault.

The first line of defense was already lost, and the second was in peril. The sandbag wall finally revealed its muzzle, and started to counterattack towards the attacking French army.

Pah pah pah … Bullets flew everywhere, but they never expected that those veterans would miraculously disappear!

A closer look revealed that there was a gunshot on the other side, and the bullet had blown the head of the curious member of the commune off.

Only then did people realize that the government forces that had charged into the first defensive position did not waste a second. Instead, they quickly spread out in search of cover.

The buildings on both sides of the road, the broken statues on the street, the craters filled with rainwater, even some people had pulled a few sandbags and built a small single-soldier shooting shelter for themselves!

"My God, where is this army? "How did he react so fast …" Before he could finish his sentence, another bullet flew across his head.

These veterans of the Empire who had battled for their entire lives, were simply taking their breaths when they fired. Everyone was equipped with the most advanced riflemen's rifles, allowing them to reload at an extraordinarily fast speed!

Spearmanship was accurate and the shooting speed was incredibly fast... As a result, a company of French soldiers was actually able to suppress an opponent's entire battalion to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads up!

"Reinforcements!" I need reinforcements! "

Amidst the constant cries for help, the buildings on both sides of St. Michel's Avenue were suddenly filled with clamor. Soon after, many windows were pushed open and windows were smashed. The commissar's soldiers began shooting from above!

Due to the high level of advantage they had, the number of casualties among the government soldiers increased. However, this advantage did not last long. Soon, a series of muffled explosions could be heard from the buildings on both sides.

"Hehe, you still want to block my mountain with this kind of position?" The commander of the Third Division sneered, "The military has prepared three times the explosive charge for you. What are you waiting for now?"

Holding the detonator produced by Nuo Beier Co., the teacher sighed: "I never thought that Prussian's explosive technology was already this high!"

"It's powerful and there's not much smoke. The most important thing is that it's still safe …" It's not wrong for us to lose this battle! "

In order to win this war, Thiers did not hesitate to sacrifice everything. Even the two provinces of Arthas and Rolin had been ceded, let alone buying some new weapons and explosives.

At this moment, a big bag came to France from the bottom of the German armory.

The proof was that McMahon's decision to hand over authority was extremely correct. He did not specify a specific plan for the battle and only gave the troops targets to freely fight.

In the face of the defending army's counterattack, these veterans had actually thought of a clever method to blow up the building with explosives!

Aren't you hiding in the house? Then I'll blow up the walls and walk through the building!

Boom … Boom … Boom …

The safety detonators produced by Nuo Beier Co., Ltd., were able to shatter the hard iron ore s in the mines, let alone these brick walls!

The walls were blasted with huge holes. The French army with bayonets in their hands rushed in and started to kill those commissariat soldiers with bayonets!

At the peak of their killing spree, they had even challenged the soldiers to throw them out of the windows on the third floor!

Blood and organs splattered all over the ground like rain, smashing all over the Commune member s!
