Make France Great Again

The young Captain Jerome Patterson used his energetic tone to vividly describe to Commander Raglan the blocking battle that took place on the Sevastopol Trail, which gave Commander Raglan an identity. The feeling of being there.

The excited Commander Raglan immediately congratulated the French Empire for its decisive victory on the Sevastopol Trail, and asked Captain Jerome Patterson what the French army needed them to do.

"Commander Raglan, I am here to inform you on the orders of Commander Pellissier! I hope you can lead your troops to the north shore of Sevastopol as soon as possible!" Captain Jerome Patterson told Raglan Commander Lun saluted with a military salute, and then continued: "We must seize the time to deploy!"

As soon as Jerome Patterson finished speaking, Commander Raglan smiled and said: "Patterson, tell me honestly! Is that guy Pelissier preparing to attack Sevastopol? "

Jerome Patterson was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and responded to Commander Raglan: "I don't know what Commander Pelissier's next move will be! He just told me to inform you as soon as possible. Set off!"

"Your new commander-in-chief is really a clueless guy!" Commander Raglan complained with a smile, and then responded to Jerome Patterson: "Go back and tell your commander-in-chief, I will immediately Just lead the British army and rush over!"

"Thank you very much for your cooperation!" Jerome Patterson saluted Commander Raglan again, then turned and left Kurgan Mountain.

Looking at the back of Jerome Patterson leaving, Commander Raglan said: "You all heard clearly what Captain Jerome Patterson just said!"

The generals present nodded, and then Commander Raglan ordered Duke Cardigan: "Hurry up and bring your cavalry to support the Fourth Division. I suspect that the Russian troops defeated by France are approaching there!"

The Duke of Cambridge, commander of the Guards Division and deputy commander of the expeditionary force, stood aside and rode forward to line up with Commander Raglan. He spoke up and suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to send the Guards Division to help! In case of a collapse? It would be bad if we defeat the Fourth Division!"

"The Fourth Division will not be defeated by a group of soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit!" Commander Raglan responded decisively, and then added: "If he is really defeated, then he will take off this suit for me. Military uniform, go home and coax your children! I don’t need a general in my army who can’t even defeat an army!”

Commander Raglan's decisive attitude made the Duke of Cambridge dare not say a word for Sir George Cutthroat. He could only pray silently for the Fourth Division in his heart.

After Earl Cardigan led his light cavalry to the vicinity of the Cacha River, Commander Raglan took out the pocket watch placed on his chest near his heart. It was already 4:45 pm, before Commander Raglan launched the first More than 6 hours have passed since the first attack, and only 55 minutes have passed since Kurgan Mountain was captured. In other words, the normal battle between the two peaks of Kurgan and Telegraph Mountain only took It took 5 hours.

"Set off!"

Following Commander Raglan's order, the British command system, which had been silent for a while, became operational again. The British army, which had just rested for 40 minutes, stood up under the officers' whips and riding boots. Their physical condition The relatively good soldiers lined up in two columns and marched towards the Sevastopol Fortress. Those British and Russian soldiers who were missing arms and legs were temporarily placed on the Kurgan Mountain, waiting for the follow-up medical troops to transport them to the rear. The town of Yevpatoria will undergo treatment, and more seriously injured soldiers will be sent to Constantinople for treatment.

In short, the British army has no time to linger here, they must reach the north bank of Sevastopol Fortress as soon as possible!

When the British army led by Commander Raglan crossed the Cacha River and arrived at the farm near the Berbe River on the north bank of Sevastopol, it was completely dark, and Sevastopol in the distance was now completely hidden in the darkness. among.

Marching in the dark is undoubtedly a dangerous thing, especially when there are still a large number of night blindness patients in the British army, so Commander Raglan gave up his plan to join the French army, and instead ordered his troops to station on the spot, and then He led his adjutant and continued walking forward, and finally found the French army about 2 kilometers away from him.

Under the leadership of French officers, Commander Raglan was taken to the interior of a simple farm.

"Commander Raglan, Marshal Saint-Arnaud and Commander-in-Chief Pellissier are all inside!" the officer responsible for leading the way said to Commander Raglan in a low voice.

"Saint Arnaud, is he awake?" Commander Raglan asked with a hint of surprise.

"The Marshal woke up last night! However, his body is no longer suitable for high-intensity command, so General Pellissier temporarily took his place!" Commander Raglan, a French officer, said after waking up.

Then the French officers said goodbye to Commander Raglan, who entered France's command post with his adjutant.

"Dong dong dong"

With a crisp knock on the door, Marshal Saint-Arnaud and General Pellissier, who were sitting next to the map, raised their heads and looked towards the door. Commander Raglan appeared in front of the door. Marshal Saint-Arnaud. and Pellissier immediately stood up to greet him and shook hands with Commander Raglan.

Commander Raglan was happy that Marshal Saint-Arnaud could return in good health, and also praised Pellissier's actions in the Battle of Alma.

If the French army had not occupied Telegraph Hill at an extremely fast speed, which caused turmoil in the morale of the Russian army on Kurgan Mountain, the British Kingdom would not have won so quickly.

Marshal Saint-Arnault smiled bitterly and told Commander Raglan that his body had not recovered, and the current actual command of the French Expeditionary Force was still Pellissier.

"That's right! General Pellissier has a bold plan. Commander Raglan, is he interested in hearing about it?" Marshal Saint-Arnaud said to Commander Raglan.

"What's the plan?" Commander Raglan suddenly became interested.

"During the blocking battle on the Sevastopol trail, we captured a Russian Imperial general! He told us that there are currently only more than 10,000 people left in the entire Sevastopol, and that the city in the north It is also in disrepair, so General Pelissier wants to try to attack northern Sevastopol! If we can successfully occupy the north, then we can cut off the supply of southern Sevastopol to Russia!" St. Marshal Arnaud responded to Commander Raglan.

"Heroes really think alike!" Commander Raglan couldn't help but sigh, and then asked who the captured Russian Empire general was.

"Lieutenant General Chiriaco! He was the one who fought with us on Telegraph Hill!" Marshal Saint-Arnaud recalled the state of Lieutenant General Chiriaco at that time, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.

Commander Raglan nodded, feeling a little more convinced that the defenses of Sevastopol Fortress were empty.

After all, this is the general with the highest official position captured by the coalition forces. If even his words cannot be trusted, then there may not be many trustworthy people in Crimea.

"You can give it a try!" Commander Raglan nodded in agreement with Pelissier's suggestion, and then added: "However, we have to wait until all our artillery units arrive before taking the next step!"

"This is natural!" Marshal Saint-Arnaud nodded and responded: "Not only the artillery units, but also all the tents and backpacks we left on the south bank of the Alma River must be taken back! They have suffered a lot in the past two days. Got it!"

Since the French army marched all the way to the north bank of the Sevastopol Fortress, all their camps and artillery equipment were left on the south bank of the Alma River. This destined them to be in the north of the Sevastopol Fortress today. It takes a few days to deal with the wilderness.

"Alas!" Commander Raglan also sighed, because the British troops also faced the same problems as the French Empire.

…

After returning to the British station from the French station, Commander Raglan held a brief meeting with his division commanders under the dim suet lamp.

Commander Raglan at the meeting informed the officers present about the upcoming military operations and asked them to maintain the morale of the British army.

Although the officers present felt a little resentment towards Commander Raglan for his merciless behavior towards the troops, they still assured him that they would complete the tasks assigned by Commander Raglan.

Early the next morning, carriages appeared on the north bank of Sevastopol. They brought the tents and artillery left on the south bank of the Alma River to the British and French forces. The troops responsible for escorting this batch of things were exactly Turkish army.

At the same time, the British and French fleets on the coast also sent supplies to the British and French forces, including biscuits, cans, bread (French army), vegetables, corned beef jerky (British army), wine, etc.

This rich batch of supplies greatly eased the war-weariness of the British and French armies, and the arrival of wine even made the British and French armies cheer.

The staff officers of the four countries of Britain, France, and Turkey also took advantage of their rest time to count their losses in the Battle of the Alma River, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com Among them, the Kingdom of Britain suffered the most losses. In the Battle of Kurgan Mountain, there were more than 2,800 casualties, equivalent to 9% of the entire army, followed by the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of France, which lost 732 and 431 people respectively. People, the final Ottoman Empire only suffered single-digit casualties (the Ottoman Empire was a substitute for the entire battle).

Time soon came to the fourth day. After two days of transportation, all weapons and equipment from Britain, France, and Turkey finally arrived on the north shore.

In the afternoon of the same day, a telegram from Paris reached Marshal Saint-Arnaud via Constantinople. This telegram made Marshal Saint-Arnaud, who had been slightly hesitant, decide to attack the northern fortress of Sevastopol. Determination.

In order to find out the wishes of the other three commanders, Saint-Arnaud summoned the commanders of the other three countries to the French Command in the name of the Allied Forces Command to discuss countermeasures.
