Wild North America 1846
Chapter 314 Assault on Kansas
The changes that occurred on Victory Day brought the entire North America back to the world's focus. However, due to the delay in information transmission, it was already more than ten days later.
January 15, 1860.
Central Kansas Battlefield
At about 9:50 in the morning, the bright sun is hanging high in the sky, emitting the brightest light of the day. The cold wind is howling in the wilderness, making people unable to feel a trace of warmth, revealing the coldness and loneliness in winter.
.
On the defense line built by the U.S. military, you can see circles of barbed wire fixed by crossed wooden posts, shallow trenches, and earthen parapets extending into the distance. U.S. soldiers with lazy expressions are hiding behind the defense line, holding rifles in their hands.
Groups of small and large people gathered together and chatted, not able to lift their spirits at all for this boring and tedious defense task.
99% of these American soldiers in the middle and lower classes are vulgar and illiterate and do not care at all about the political changes at the upper level and the situation in North America. Perhaps the big ass of a plump woman can attract their attention and relish it.
We can chat for most of the day.
In a dense bush about 2 kilometers away from the U.S. defense line, Major Fan Pengju and his cavalry regiment were lurking here. Behind the cavalry regiment was a large, dark force that could not be seen at a glance.
Major Fan Pengju looked slightly nervously at the division commander Brigadier General Lin Feng not far away. He saw that Brigadier General Lin Feng and several senior officials from the division were observing the enemy's situation with a brass monocular telescope, and checking their watches from time to time.
The time for the launch of the general offensive is getting closer and closer, and even Brigadier General Lin Feng, who has always been calm, can't help but have a look of anxiety on his face.
As a veteran who participated in the Crimean War and a comrade who fought alongside Major General Fan Pengfei, deputy commander of the Northern Corps, Lin Feng now serves as the brigadier general commander of the 303rd Class A Field Division, which is affiliated with the Colorado Corps of the Central Military Region.
After the launch of the general offensive
The 303rd Division was responsible for quickly tearing a large hole on the south side of the US military's defense line, and then quickly advancing with fierce and decisive attacks, seizing the enemy's fatal flaw of slow response, cooperating with neighboring troops to seize the Kansas Railway Station, and firmly holding on to it.
In this area, the main railway line for the enemy's escape to the south was blocked.
Since the 303rd Division and neighboring troops are responsible for blockading the southern part of Kansas City, there must be another force blocking the northern railway line of Kansas City, and there must also be mobile troops that will move forward to block the eastern railway line of Kansas City, thereby encircling the enemy in one fell swoop.
Annihilation.
This was a fatal blow launched by the Colorado Corps with all its strength, and with the cooperation of 31,000 Confederate soldiers under General Hill, more than 180,000 troops were invested, striving to swallow up all the Northern troops in Kansas City and fight
A thrilling battle of annihilation.
Not only is Brigadier General Lin Feng feeling the heavy pressure on his shoulders now, but the Minister of the Corps, His Excellency Lord Harry Fletcher, is also bearing a mountain of pressure on his shoulders and does not dare to relax at all.
Because His Majesty the King is here and personally goes to the front line to supervise the battle.
The Colorado Corps must win this battle cleanly. If this carefully prepared encirclement and annihilation battle turns into a slug, Lord Harry Fletcher, the Corps Minister with the reputation of "Breaking Hammer", will not be able to explain to His Majesty,
I was so embarrassed that I had no choice but to resign.
The competition among the top generals of the Kingdom's army is extremely fierce. If you can't do well, you will be dismissed. There are many senior generals with outstanding talents.
His Excellency, Lord Harry Fletcher, was responsible for leading the Northern Cavalry Corps into the Great Lakes region during the Third Tang-American War (the Third American Expedition to the West), and bloodbathed countless towns and made the Yankees weep for their lives.
Mother, greatly impacted the U.S. military's war potential, effectively supported the frontal battlefield, and made outstanding contributions to the final victory in the 3rd Tang-U.S. War.
Lord Harry Fletcher, because Jane was in the emperor's heart and his holy family was flourishing, he was able to defeat other competitors and serve as the commander-in-chief of the most powerful mobile field corps in the Tang Kingdom. This is a heavy trust.
Therefore, the first shot to open the door must be fired, and it must be fired cleanly to win beautifully.
When deploying the battle, the corps commander stressed repeatedly that "all soldiers must not be afraid of sacrifice, move forward bravely, advance rapidly with resolute and courageous actions, and resolutely complete the combat mission regardless of the cost, otherwise we will face the enemy."
”.
The murderous orders from the Corps Headquarters were conveyed to the Division Headquarters, and the Division Headquarters then conveyed them to the Regiment Headquarters. The whole army could feel this heavy pressure, waiting to be completely released at the last moment...
Bragging doesn't work, it's a mule or a horse that has to be taken out for a walk.
Which army doesn't have a dream of being an ace?
He sweats a lot on the training ground, and bleeds a lot in war. Looking at the ace's arrogance, it would be a lie to say that he is not envious.
The whole army held their breath, waiting for the moment when the general attack order was issued...
The sound of rallying horns could be faintly heard from the US defense line in the distance, and soon a large group of US troops poured out from the defense line. They looked like they were preparing to train or do some tricks. Major Fan Pengju was confused anyway.
Then he turned to look at the division commander, Brigadier General Lin Feng, and saw a smile of relief on his face. He took a long breath and put down the monocular in his hand, and gave the order with a smile on his face;
"All cavalry regiments mount and prepare for assault."
In the dense bushes, countless figures were seen mounting their horses one after another. The bushes could no longer hide their figures, and the traces of the large cavalry were immediately revealed, and they would soon be discovered by the US military.
But at this time, it doesn't matter even if it is discovered.
It was not that the 303rd Division was unprepared before the war. Through the channels of the Confederate Army, they finally contacted a certain commander of the Northern Army, that is, the commander of the defense line in front of them, and persuaded him to surrender to the enemy in front of the rebel formation.
.
Many commanders from the North and the South in the United States know each other and were even close good friends in the past. It is not difficult to contact them.
For example, the Northern Army commander on the other side of the defensive line was originally extremely dissatisfied with the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President James Buchanan. This was not only a serious violation of the property of northern slave owners, but also made the proud northern white people
Feeling extremely humiliated.
When did black slaves become human beings?
When will black people be able to fight side by side with white people?
Isn’t this nonsense?
Many white slave owners in the north simply could not accept such chaos. They felt extremely disgusted with the black people in the military camps. The strong discrimination and exclusion were omnipresent, and even caused large-scale agitation in the entire northern army, leading to more than a dozen serious cases.
The officer's betrayal incident.
in the mid-19th century
This was an era of severe discrimination against black people. Even if a free black man in the north accidentally stepped on the shadow of a white woman while walking, he would be beaten to death in the street.
Anyone who looks at a Caucasian woman unkindly will be hanged in the street.
Free blacks in the North had to lower their heads and bend their waists along the corners when walking on the street. They had to stop and show sufficient humility when meeting a white gentleman passing by.
Blacks were not allowed to ride in horse-drawn carriages, not to enter restaurants and bars, not to enter libraries and theaters, not to stand side by side with whites at public gatherings...
What the hell is the Emancipation Proclamation?
How could President James Buchanan influence the property of white slave owners?
The huge wealth accumulated by white slave owners over more than 100 years disappeared in an instant. Who is responsible for this?
With such a president and such a regime, do you still have to sacrifice your life for him?
A strong black slave is worth 800 to 1,500 US dollars, and a beautiful female black slave can even be sold for 3,000 US dollars. How much do dozens or hundreds of black slaves cost?
This is all private wealth! Whoever loses it will be heartbroken. This is the real reason why the high-ranking officers of the Northern Army have uneasy feelings. After all, money touches people's hearts.
This is no longer blocking someone's financial path, like killing one's parents, but openly robbing someone!
It was precisely because of the insight into the inner weaknesses of the northern officers that the Colorado Corps carried out targeted rebellion, and the effect seemed to be excellent.
The means used are also very simple, nothing more than inducements.
You have lost 50 black slaves, so I will give you 100 as compensation. If 100 is not enough, then 150. If 150 is not enough, then 200. Are you tempted by this?
Promising a military position to the other party is not the most important thing. After all, no one is willing to fight as long as possible. Wouldn't it be nice to go back and be a rich man in peace and stability?
"All hands on deck!"
Brigadier General Lin Feng, the commander of the 303rd Division, mounted his war horse and pointed forward with the sharp sword in his hand. Countless cavalrymen spurred their horses to accelerate, and soon they started running wildly.
Countless horse hooves beat on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
Thousands of war horses rushed out of the hidden bushes and began to run wildly. The cavalrymen held bright sabers, which had shone into a sea of knives, revealing a cold murderous aura under the refraction of the sun.
Focusing on the bald eagles flying high in the sky, you can see that on the 10-kilometer-long defense line, several cavalrymen are quickly rushing towards the US defense line, and then plunge in fiercely, following the open door.
It broke through.
Except for some light gunshots, the on-time general attack launched at 10:00 turned out to be extremely smooth. The cavalry that broke into the US defense line spread like a flood, followed by the dark army of the Tang Kingdom, like a tide.
Wave after wave surged up, sweeping towards Kansas City...
Hearing gunshots from the outskirts of the city, the Georgia Corps in Kansas City was completely confused. They didn't know what happened when they asked Zhang San, and they didn't know when they asked Li Si. They ran to the regiment headquarters and asked their commanders about what happened.
It wasn't until the Tang Kingdom cavalry all over the mountains and plains rushed over with sabers waving, that the American soldiers of the Georgia Corps reacted. Then there was a chaotic melee, chaotic running around, and chaotic organized resistance...
The shouts of killing were loud and loud. The infantry of the Tang Dynasty, which followed the cavalry, quickly came up and lined up neatly to cover up the enemy. Round after round of deadly volley strikes caused the American soldiers who had briefly resisted to collapse again.
, leaving a large number of corpses behind and fled back to the city.
Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion and failure to organize an effective counterattack, the 303rd Division and neighboring troops quickly rushed forward. After defeating more than a dozen groups of enemies, large and small, along the way, they fully occupied the Kansas Railway Station at 11:55 noon.
, cutting off the main railway line for the Northern Army in the city to escape to the south.
After completing its mission, the 303rd Division immediately reorganized its troops and deployed a defense line relying on the solid buildings and trains of the train station to prepare for the fierce counterattack from the US military.
The total number of U.S. troops in Kansas City is nearly 60,000. Even if some of them were wiped out in the early stage of fierce fighting, the total number of casualties is about 10,000, and their strength is still there.
Moreover, although the Northern Army was slow to react, disorganized, and had low-quality officers, it was an army that had gone through bloody battles, and the white militiamen did not lack the spirit of sacrifice, so they were not easy to swallow.
After the initial panic, as long as the upper-level officers of the Georgia Corps began to organize a counterattack, a bloody battle was inevitable.
