358 Soldiers in Berlin(1/2)

After Polkha captured all administrative centers on the Ilibyan Peninsula, he did not stop military operations. The war on the Ilibyan Peninsula entered the next stage - the extermination of guerrillas.

The war at this stage obviously made Polkha even more trouble because the guerrillas had a geographical advantage and public support.

When the army arrives, the guerrillas will burrow into the mountains and lurk. Once the army chases in, even the mountain troops composed of sharpshooters will easily be shot and shot!

Although guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests, the sharpshooter troops have always been at an advantage in casualties.

But the number of guerrillas is endless, and the number of sharpshooters is indeed limited. Polkha does not want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties in guerrilla warfare!

To this end, Polcha began to formulate a local co-coordination system in the name of Carlos IV on the Ilibyan Peninsula.

Local areas should form their own militia teams, attack guerrillas or provide information about guerrillas.

Once a vicious incident occurs in a certain area where guerrillas attack the French Legion, everyone in this area will be punished by the joint position system.

At the very least, it will be sent to labor camps for renovation and directly escorted to large cities with troops stationed in the country, or even local French.

If the circumstances are serious, they will be shot on the spot!

It's easy to avoid punishment.

Provide the guerrillas' hiding place and help the French army wipe out the guerrillas.

Polkha's strategic intention is very simple, using power and massacre to forcibly open up the connection between the people and the guerrillas.

When the guerrillas arrived, they could hike into the mountains and forests to hide, but ordinary civilians who rely on their own to live on the mountains and rivers should not abandon their belongings.

Without land and houses, how can they get food and clothing?

There are only two ways for guerrillas to survive.

Large areas of farmland were developed in the mountains and valleys, and a self-sufficiency grain production model was established.

Ammunition can be obtained from the outside, and ammunition cannot be consumed much without fighting.

The main battles of the guerrillas are small-scale, relying on external ammunition to support them.

But grain is indeed a big consumer. The larger the guerrillas, the higher the dependence on food!

If you don’t eat for a day, you will be so hungry!

Throughout human history, most guerrillas were wiped out because of food shortage.

The self-sufficiency model of Polcha naturally does not provide it. There is not much land suitable for large-scale crop cultivation in the mountains and forests, and it has been swept by Polcha and his army long ago.

When the Roman Guards operated, they would generally avoid them except for those guerrillas who were really strong.

After all, even the regular army is not the opponent of the Roman Guards. What is the difference between guerrillas head-on and dying?

If the guerrillas had this courage, they would have died on the battlefield of confronting the Roman Guards head-on.

Therefore, Polkha could completely order his troops to rush into the mountains during the busy farming period and completely destroy the guerrillas' own labor results.

In this way, even if the guerrillas have a small amount of crops, they cannot fill their stomachs and can only rely on the support of local people.

Once the joint positioning system is released, the guerrillas will inevitably involve the local people unless they do not take action.

For the sake of its own safety, the local militia defense regiments formed by local people cannot allow guerrillas to attack foreign invaders in their own jurisdiction, otherwise the whole family will suffer!

As for the guerrillas who want to pull everyone in a region into the water, they will often be found by local militias after the attack, and under the pressure of the French army, they will fight with the guerrillas to atone for their sins.

At the beginning, there were many local militia organizations wearing pairs of pants with the guerrillas, but when Boercha led his troops to clean dozens of villages, there were no more nationalists who were confused...

Why did in human history, invaders like to use massacre to deter conquered nations?

It is because this method is simple and efficient!

Even the Spanish guerrillas and Portuguese guerrillas, supported by the anti-French alliance, were miserable by the Polcha system of sweeping and co-selecting.

In just one or two months, many guerrilla members couldn't stand it anymore. They were not defeated, but were tortured by hunger and took the initiative to come out of the mountain, throwing away their weapons and integrating into the lives of local residents.

There were even many guerrilla members who were reported by locals as soon as they came out of the mountain, and then caught in a dark labor camp, working until they died!

Fortunately, many guerrillas are moving near their local hometowns. Those guerrillas who can't stand can simply bury their weapons, return to their hometowns to pick up their hoes, and become good people.

In fact, in the guerrilla war, there were not many members of the guerrilla warfare who were actually killed, and there were not many civilians who had not yet been massacred by Polkha, but the Spanish guerrilla warfare was quelled.

Of course, this is closely related to the strong combat power of the Roman Guards. When the system of co-selected the system was first promulgated, many places colluded with the guerrillas to rebel, and were then defeated and wiped out by the Roman Guards.

An absolutely powerful military force is the guarantee of the massacre and position policy, otherwise the massacre will only make the ruling situation worse and worse.

By early 1811, except for the small guerrillas that could not cause any scattered storms on the Ilibyan Peninsula, Polkha had basically achieved a comprehensive victory in this guerrilla war.

Since then, the French Legion began to escort a large number of labor workers while returning to France's mainland.

The rule of the Ilibyan Peninsula was handed over to the local militias in France and a small number of Spanish puppet troops formed by the Cabinet of Carlos IV.

Of course, Polcha did not leave any troops. He left about two divisions of troops in major important cities on the Ilibyan Peninsula, such as Madrid and Lisbon, and stationed in scattered areas.

These troops were to prevent the London government from suddenly landing operations on the Ilibyan Peninsula.

As for the civilians on the Ilibyan Peninsula, they have been completely killed by the French army. Those who do not accept discipline either become corpses or enter labor camps and are taken to France's mainland.

The captive slave workers were taken away, naturally, to prevent them from being rescued and becoming new guerrillas.

After all, after Boercha left with the main force of the French Legion, the Ilibyan Peninsula would not have enough military force if it wanted to go into the mountains to sweep the raid and implement the joint position system.

When Polkha led the main force of the French Legion to evacuate the Ilibyan Peninsula in full, the fifth anti-French war has lost more than 21,000 people in total.

Except for more than a thousand sharpshooters, all the guard infantry were killed as the main force.

Of course, not all the soldiers who died in the battle of the Ilibyan Peninsula, some died in the Battle of Hanover and some of them on the battlefields on the Eastern Front.

Although there was no main battle on the Eastern Front battlefield, the encounters of small troops often broke out.

Some are infiltration wars, while others are tentative attacks.

The fall of the Ilibyan Peninsula made the anti-French alliance become a panic. The Prussian Kingdom and the Russian Empire even fought their lives to turn into defensive mode.

Like the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire and other continental countries, the London government is in debt and supports the allies on the continent.

Unfortunately, just one year is not enough to reverse the absolute strength of both sides.

Why is Li Wei in the mood to stop fashion talent shows during the war?

Just because he knew that the victory of this war would definitely belong to him!

Although the anti-French alliance's army is getting bigger and bigger, the General Administration of Military Information has long discovered that the age of soldiers who join the army with regular army has been reduced to 14 years old!

Up to 55 years old!

Even the old man with white hair was wearing military uniforms and carrying a spear!

The Russian Empire even armed women and fully demonstrated the style of the Russians fighting to the end...

Compared to the Prussian Kingdom, there is no explosion of many troops. The Russian Empire's war potential is undoubtedly huge. At least the General Administration of Military Intelligence has not yet found the upper limit of violent soldiers of the Russian Empire.

The short-term expansion of the army has brought about a severe decline in the quality of the anti-French Allied Forces.

In the Kingdom of Prussia, due to the old and new approach, all the regular troops except the First Grenadier Legion became troops of new recruits.

There have even appeared on the battlefield, and the company collapsed without even a round of Roman Guards' volleyball guns!

This is not comparable to the regular Prussian army that could stand upright and shoot at the Roman Guards before.

Of course, the decline in the quality of the enemy's army is not the reason why Li Wei is slacking off. Li Wei is only slacking off himself, and his requirements for the troops below have always followed the highest standards.

Otherwise, Polcha would not have been forced to start a massacre on the Ilibyan Peninsula. Although the Ilibyan Peninsula was pacified, everyone knows that without a ten-year recovery period, it is basically impossible for the Ilibyan Peninsula to have much production capacity to support the Roman Empire.

At this time, large areas of abandoned fields, burned villages and even cities could be seen everywhere on the Spanish Peninsula.

It looks like a scene of purgatory on earth.

These are all traces left by the French Legion.

Of course, there are also benefits. At least even if the anti-French alliance forcibly lands on the Ilibyan Peninsula, it will be difficult to obtain sufficient supplies from here...

Polkha's rush to withdraw his troops was closely related to the huge damage to agricultural production on the Ilibyan Peninsula. If his army stays there, it will be impossible to support it!

After the French Legion led by Polcha returned, he did not do much rest and devoted himself to the attack.

The direction of the attack was not as expected by the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire, and directly started the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, but went north to attack the land of the Kingdom of Denmark.

The Kingdom of Denmark had a very weak sense of existence during the Fifth Anti-French War.

There is neither a developed industry nor a powerful army here, and even natural resources are just as good as that.

It seems to be of little offensive value.

Moreover, there is no shortcut to enter the Kingdom of Prussia to defeat Denmark. If the Kingdom of Prussia is defeated first, Denmark's national strength will not be able to hold on.

Therefore, the Anti-French Alliance never expected that the Roman Empire would take the lead in using the troops drawn back to attack the Denmark Kingdom.

Naturally, there was no preparation for extra reinforcements to support Denmark.

The Denmark's local army has indeed expanded several times after the outbreak of the Fifth Anti-French War, with more than 100,000 people on the books.

Then, these more than 100,000 Danish troops faced the French army, which was also more than 100,000, in just one week, either surrendered or was annihilated. The entire territory was easily captured by Polcha. The lost troops of Polcha even occupied less than a fraction of the Ilibyan Peninsula...

The reason is that the Kingdom of Denmark was not exaggerated by nationalism at this time, and the Danish officers and soldiers only knew that they were fighting for the king.

In addition, the tyrant Li Wei was invincible in the continental wars in the previous few anti-French wars, and the fear of France was widespread in the Danish army, so his performance on the battlefield was naturally unsatisfactory.

As a result, Polkha stabbed through the entire country with a slight stab...
