New Ming Empire mixed in America

In the evening, the cavalry company returned to the camp with the shorter Sean.

Looking at Sean who was lying on the wooden board, his forehead had obviously been pinched by God.

Joseph's heart was filled with...

Of course I am full of joy!

At first, because he couldn't save face, he let his son stay in San Francisco and replaced him with Sean.

If he had been thicker-skinned, maybe it would be his son lying here now.

"Inform all officers to come over for a meeting!"

After giving the instructions, Joseph walked towards the largest tent.

At this time, Joseph once again raised the threat level of those Easterners by one level, truly taking the fighting power of those people seriously.

"Are our sandbags ready?"

Joseph looked at the officer in charge of logistics. After seeing the other person nodding, he focused his attention on the map again.

The tactic of building a breastwork with sandbags and letting soldiers hide inside and shoot was a tactic used by the United States to perfection during the Second War of Independence.

It was precisely by relying on this bunker tactic that the godson of the United States defeated the godfather's group of more than 2,000 people with only 13 casualties... No, he led the British army.

And he personally created the commander of the Battle of New Orleans who, as his godson, slapped Dai Ying's godfather hard - Andrew Jackson.

He also successfully became the CEO of the United States, married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of his life.

However, at that time, Dai Ying did not suffer much loss because most of the dead were Canadians. He even regained face by beating the French at Waterloo.

Therefore, Joseph said that I am proficient in traditional crafts such as parapets and fences.

Therefore, when he received the notice the next day that the Eastern troops had appeared, he did not immediately rush over with his men to start filming.

Instead, they used a logistics carriage to pull sandbags and slowly walked towards the Xinming Empire's preset position.

After waiting for a whole day, Joseph finally saw the station of the New Ming Empire Defense Force from a distance.

After seeing through the telescope that the opponent had no artillery, Joseph finally put his heart back in his stomach.

The battle of more than a thousand people was limited by the inconvenience of battlefield communications during this period, so they could only fight in tight formations and with more layers.

The next day, when it was just dawn, Joseph led the 9th Infantry Regiment and pressed towards the camp of the New Ming Empire Defense Force.

The sound of whistles from the officers' mouths and the "Yankee Song" played by the military band echoed in the ears of all American soldiers.

This "Yankee Song", which was first played by the British Army to humiliate the Continental Army of the United States, and later played by the Continental Army of the United States to humiliate the British Army, brought unparalleled morale to the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment.

addition.

Joseph rode behind the first row of soldiers, and from time to time used binoculars to observe the queue of the Xinming Empire Defense Force opposite.

But when he saw the nervousness on the opposing soldier's face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Look, the monkeys opposite are scared. Haha, boys, let's show them what a real soldier is later."

When the distance was about the same, the soldiers in charge of logistics began to use sandbags to build a parapet, which would be their last line of defense.

Then, under the leadership of their respective officers, the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment began to form a team and make final preparations before the battle.

The specific point is to promise huge profits to let ruthless people who are not afraid of death stand in the front row.

Although this position is a little more dangerous and the mortality rate is a little higher, the treatment is nothing to say.

Therefore, in the line tactics of this era, we often see that after the soldiers in the front row are shot and fall, the soldiers in the back row will automatically fill in the empty space.

This is not an effect that can only be obtained by strict training, it must also be done with enough horse inside.

After all the ruthless people who are not afraid of death have been selected, the position has been almost completed.

After observing the enemy's formation with the telescope again, Joseph showed a confident smile on his face.

The opponent looked like a rookie and was about to start fighting, but the formation was still sparse and uneven.

At this time, the 9th Infantry Regiment and the volunteers led by Joseph had a total of sixteen companies, each with about 100 men.

The four newly added companies this time were composed of Santa Barbara militiamen. At this time, these militiamen stayed at the last line of defense to prepare for possible defeat.

Except for the remnants of the cavalry company wandering around the battlefield, four companies were placed on the front of the battlefield, and the remaining companies were in the second and third rows as reserves.

The artillerymen are ready and can follow the infantry to the appropriate position to fire at any time.

After everything was ready, Joseph gave the order to move forward.

"Yankee Song" was played on the battlefield again, and the officers of each company began to use whistles to direct the soldiers of their own companies to advance.

Don’t be fooled by the movie. If those scenes of shouting commands on the battlefield could be realized in reality...

With a distance of tens of meters, how could the soldiers hear clearly what the commander was saying?

Is the average person a good person?

When the Ninth Infantry Regiment moved, Sun Laifu also issued his own order, which was:

"Attention the explosion team, wait until the enemy artillery reaches the explosion position and detonate immediately!"

At this time, in a deep pit dug not far from the battlefield, two soldiers were staring at the picture on the screen in front of them.

In the picture, rows of soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment are walking past the screen. Due to the need to maintain concealment, the position of the camera is not ideal.

But this is also clearer and wider than relying solely on telescopes on the battlefield.

Three buried wires extend outward from this hidden pit, one of which is used to power the camera and wireless router.

One is a wire pulled from the discharge machine hidden in the military camp, and the last one is a detonation wire.

"Captain, their cannon appears!"

Suddenly, the observer staring at the screen reported loudly.

The captain had just wiped away the sweat from his hands due to nervousness. After hearing the observer's report, he turned his head and looked at the screen.

On the screen at this time, a war horse pulling a cannon walked past the screen, and then the half-human-high wheel of a twelve-pounder gun appeared on the screen.

"Attention, switch to Clairvoyance No. 2 now!"

The leader of the detonation team immediately issued the order.

The observer clicked on the screen a few times after hearing the words, and the screen switched to a bird's-eye view.

Judging from the branches passing by on the screen from time to time, the camera should be placed on a tree.

A few minutes later, artillery appeared on the screen.

When seeing these artillery pieces parked within the planned detonation range, the leader of the detonation team was very grateful to the white instructor who helped them demarcate the range.

Although he received a large bounty just for drawing a line, it was obviously worth it.

In the picture, the artillerymen of the 9th Infantry Regiment began to set up artillery positions, and the artillery was pointed in the direction of the Wehrmacht soldiers.

Boxes of artillery shells were unloaded from the carriage and piled near the artillery.

Because they discovered the fact that the National Defense Forces had no artillery, these artillerymen safely stacked the artillery shells in the most labor-saving position.

After seeing the artillerymen starting to clean the barrel, the leader of the detonation team fiercely pressed the switch that symbolized detonation.

Two minutes later, something shocking happened to the captain. After he pressed the detonation button, the bomb at the preset location did not explode!

"Quick, activate the backup plan!"

Following the captain's vibrato command, the assistant beside him quickly pressed the power button on the power strip twice.

Seeing the small red light on the power strip come on again, the assistant shouted: "The restart is complete, you can detonate!"

At the same time, the leader of the detonation team also pressed the detonation button again!
