Make France Great Again

After Canrobert and Beaucas arrived at Pelissier's location, Pelissier immediately informed Canrobert and General Beaucas of their next action plan.

Canrobert and Bokes looked at General Pelissier in surprise. They didn't understand why Commander Pelissier wanted to take action in advance, or whether something had happened.

After General Pelissier finished explaining the deployment of the operation, General Canrobert, who had this question, asked Commander Pelissier: "Your Excellency, Commander, wasn't our original plan to operate tomorrow? Why do we have to move in advance?" One day of action, and it was done in a hurry! Did something happen?"

Pelissier glanced at Canrobert and nodded in response: "Something did happen!"

Later, Commander Pellissier told Brigadier General Trochu's battle on the south bank to Canrobert and Bosquet.

The expressions of Canrobert and Bosquet were even more shocked. The combat effectiveness of the Russian Empire soldiers had exceeded their cognitive bottom line.

Brigadier General Trochu was able to achieve such a result with only 5,000 troops. Is this because the combat effectiveness of the British and French armies is too strong, or because the combat effectiveness of the Russian Imperial Army is too weak.

"This... this is really... too..." Major General Bosquet was so surprised that he was speechless.

"In the next period of time, the soldiers on the south bank of Sevastopol will definitely devote all their strength to the battle for the bastion, so we must make a big noise on the north bank to attract their attention! "General Pellissier responded decisively to Canrobert and Beaucas.

"What should the British side do?" General Canrobert asked Pelissier: "Do we need to discuss this matter with them?"

"There is little time left! We must act as soon as possible!" Pelissier showed the decisiveness and perseverance of an excellent commander.

An excellent commander must have a keen sense of war and be able to make important decisions in an extreme time.

Any hesitation will cause the balance of war to tilt towards the other side.

The historical offensive and defensive battle of Sevastopol Fortress was due to the hesitation of the British and French commanders, which gave the commanders in the Sevastopol Fortress a lot of time to fortify Sevastopol. This caused countless British and French troops to bleed in front of the fortress.

If Commander Pelissier hadn't captured Sevastopol at all costs in history, I'm afraid Sevastopol would really have become a bloodletting trough for the British and French armies.

At this time, Sevastopol had not yet begun to become a fortress, and coupled with the constant panic within Sevastopol, it was easy for the British and French troops to occupy the south bank near Sevastopol. Fortress near the port settlement.

If we wait a while longer, it may be difficult to capture this morale-restored fortress.

As soon as Commander Pelissier finished speaking, Canrobert and General Bosquet hurriedly said: They will definitely obey Commander Pelissier's orders. Please ask Commander Pelissier to give them orders!

Commander Pellissier immediately handed over the task of attacking the Star Fortress to General Canrobert of the First Division. As for Major General Bosquet of the Second Division, he also replaced Britain and guarded the flanks of the First Division.

"That's what I want to say! Specifically how to act, the staff of the headquarters will hand over the plan to you in a moment!" Pelissier glanced at his pocket watch and said to Canrobert and Bokes: "It is now 3 Click 20 minutes, you only have 1 hour and 20 minutes to organize your team! Around 4:40, I need to see an elite division! Do you understand?"

Although Commander Pelissier's request was a bit overwhelming, Canrobert and Bosquet could only bite the bullet and promised that Pelissier would assemble the troops in the shortest possible time!

"Go! Don't let me down!" General Pellissier waved his hand and issued an "expulsion order" to Canrobert and Bosquet.

Shortly after Canrobert and General Bosquet left, the expeditionary force staff handed an attack plan into the hands of Pellissier.

"Commander Pelissier, this plan is a modified plan based on our attack plan on June 6 (that is, tomorrow)! I don't know if you are satisfied!" Standing next to Commander Pelissier The staff officer said to Pelissier.

Pelissier spent 4 minutes carefully reading through the staff plan, and then closed the plan book.

Under the anxious gaze of the staff officer, Pelissier said: "The plan is good! But..."

"But what?" the staff officer asked Pelissier nervously.

"You have exceeded the time limit by 10 minutes!" Pelissier pointed at the pocket watch and said to the staff officer.

"I..." The staff officer breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the plan would be rejected.

"Next time, remember to hand it in on time!" Pelissier took out a pencil from his military uniform pocket, signed his name and handed the plan back to the staff: "Now you immediately convey this plan to those who need to execute it. The planned troops must be quick!”

"Yes!" The staff officer saluted quickly in response, and then trotted away from Pelissier.

At 4:40 in the afternoon, the June sun was still hanging brightly in the western sky, emitting seemingly endless light and heat.

There is not a single cloud in the blue sky at this moment. Under the sky, near the north shore of Sevastopol, a team of nearly 20,000 people is being led by their division commander Canrobel, dividing into two rows and columns towards the Star Fortress in the distance. March.

Behind this force are two artillery regiments, which consist of six artillery battalions (eighteen artillery batteries), with 108 artillery pieces, including 72 6-pounder Napoleon field guns and 12-pounder Napoleon field guns. There are 36 guns, and its lineup is nothing short of gorgeous.

Not to mention conquering a dilapidated bastion like the Star Fortress, even attacking the Four Corner Fortress that the Austrian Empire is proud of is more than enough.

The artillery regiment stopped about one kilometer away from the Star Fortress. The two artillery regiment commanders on horseback divided their artillery into two rows and lined them up. The small Napoleon cannon was placed at the front, and the large Napoleon cannon was placed at the front. It is placed at the back.

"Load!"

Following the order from the commander of the artillery regiment, the soldiers of the artillery regiment pried open the shell box and loaded the shells into the artillery.

After about 10 minutes, all the artillery pieces were loaded.

The regimental commander holding the command knife pointed the tip of the knife into the distance and looked at the bastion and shouted: "Launch!"

108 rounds of artillery shells flew out of the barrel and shot towards the Star Fortress in the distance.

Cannonballs like raindrops fell one after another near the Star Fortress, and the ground began to tremble non-stop.

After the more than 2,000 defenders in the Star Fortress heard such movements in the bastion, they inevitably panicked.

"Sir... we... can we really hold on?" the soldier behind the fortress parapet asked the officer beside him, holding a musket in his hand.

"I don't know either!" The officer responded to the soldier with a trembling voice.

He was also not sure whether they could really defend this place, because this fortress did not have many counterattack weapons at all. There were only a few cannons from the period of the Holy King (Alexander I) pitifully staying in the fortress. Whether they could be fired was still a question. The walls within the fortress have also not been repaired for a long time...

"careful!"

Just as the commander was thinking about the shortcomings of the fortress, a cry suddenly came from his ears.

The commander who came back to his senses subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance. From his perspective, a cannonball was hitting the parapet where he was in a parabolic trajectory.

Damn it!

Before the officer could react, the cannonball had already hit him with lightning speed. The unlucky officer was hit by the flying cannonball, and he lost his wisdom on the spot.

The explosion started a second after the officer was hit, and the impact took away several soldiers and the makeshift parapet.

The soldiers surrounding the fortress began to consciously stay away from the parapet, and the soldiers inside the fortress also felt uncomfortable.

Since the entire fortress has not been repaired for more than thirty years, the walls of the fortress have become very fragile.

The cannonball easily penetrated the wall, and the resulting explosion directly injured the defenders in the fortress.

When the troops of the First Division approached the Star Fortress, the entire fortress was already full of holes under the attack of large and small Napoleon cannons.

Looking at the dilapidated fortress in front of him, Canrobert couldn't help but be speechless. He really couldn't believe that the fortress built by the Russian Empire was such a shoddy project.

As a result, Canrobert quietly overturned the originally planned siege.

A siege of a fortress in this state is just a meaningless waste of time.

"superior!"

Under Canrobert's order, the soldiers of the First Division changed from columns to horizontal formations and surrounded the Star Fortress in a fan shape.

Seeing this, the defenders in the fortress immediately called their adjutant and said: "Go to the port immediately and let the warships in the port aim their cannons around our star fortress!"

"However, this will cause losses to our troops!!" the adjutant responded to the fortress commander.

"I can't control so much now!" the fortress commander gritted his teeth and responded to the adjutant, looking for Shuyuanwｗw.zｈhaｏｏｏｏｎ.com and then ordered his soldiers to move the artillery to the city wall. He wanted to use the only weapons in the fortress. Artillery attacks them.

The adjutant who left the Star Fortress on horseback soon arrived near the port dock on the north shore, where he saw an even more desperate scene.

At this time, the Russian ships parked in the Sevastopol Fortress were being bombarded, and several ships burst into flames.

More importantly, the attacking empire did not enter the port of Sevastopol, but lined up outside the port to launch a covering bombing inside the port.

However, their fleet artillery was unable to effectively counterattack, and the technological generation gap between the two had reached a point of despair.

"The Russian Empire... is over!"
