Wild North America 1846

The Colorado Corps' attack was swift and powerful. More than 4 hours after the attack was launched, each unit successfully completed a complete encirclement of the north, south and east of Kansas City, killing and capturing a total of more than 13,000 US troops, and suffering less than 2,000 casualties.

The pre-war deployment of the Corps Headquarters was neatly completed.

At this moment

Lieutenant General Devon Chandler, commander of the US Army Georgia Corps who was trapped in the city, woke up from a series of blows and ordered all units of the Corps to rely on the ruins of the city to prepare for a tenacious fight against the Eastern army that seemed to fall from the sky.

However, what he didn't expect was...

Having completed their assigned tasks, the Tang Dynasty army did not rush to attack, but immediately deployed a defense line on the spot, quickly pulled out several barbed wire fences, and began to work hard to build a defensive front.

What the hell is this?

Lieutenant General Devin Chandler, who was full of doubts, sent his troops to make several tentative counterattacks. Without exception, they were repulsed by dense and deadly hail of bullets. They had to leave the bodies lying on the ground and retreated in embarrassment.

.

until evening

Lieutenant General Devon Chandler led a group of officers from the regiment headquarters to return from an inspection of the front line. His face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. He finally understood...

Nowadays, the Georgia Corps is surrounded by wind and rain. It is simply unbelievable that these hateful Easterners intend to completely annihilate the Northern Army!

While he was filled with anger, a chill suddenly rose up behind Lieutenant General Devin Chandler, and he was afraid.

The war lasted until January 15, 1860, and had entered its fourth year.

Lieutenant General Devon Chandler has experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and is not ignorant, but he has never seen such a battle attempt to swallow up an entire regiment of 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. This is too special.

Bullshit?

But just because Southerners don't dare to think about it, it doesn't mean that Easterners don't dare to think about it.

During a counterattack launched by the US military in the evening, Lieutenant General Devin Chandler witnessed firsthand the sharpness of the enemy's firearms. Not only were more than a dozen Storm heavy machine guns deployed on the hastily built defensive front, but the counterattack firepower was extremely strong.

Moreover, the King-style bolt-action rifles of the Oriental Corps can shoot far and accurately. The US counterattack troops began to suffer volley fire attacks at 400 meters. Basically, they could not get close to within 200 meters, and they would unilaterally attack

Collapsed under volleys of gunfire.

The backward weapons and equipment of the US military basically have to be within 200 meters in order to cause damage to the enemy.

Such a gap gave Lieutenant General Devin Chandler a chill in his heart, and he had a very bad feeling. Do these Easterners really have such a big appetite to swallow up the Georgia Corps?

The strength of the Georgia Corps is not weak. Even after suffering a severe blow, it still has more than 46,000 troops. It is an important field corps on the Western Front of the US military. Its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the troops heading south led by General Sherman and Samuel Brown.

The troops marching eastward led by the general were all on the same level, almost as different as each other.

As the backbone of the Western Front battlefield that stayed behind, Kansas City not only assumed the task of defending this transportation hub, it also received a large number of wounded and sick patients evacuated from the front line and was responsible for the treatment of injuries.

Therefore, the Georgia Corps has nearly 10,000 veterans who have recovered from injuries and tens of thousands of soldiers who have experienced bloody battles, so their combat effectiveness is not weak.

With these combat-effective soldiers, Lieutenant General Devin Chandler was confident that he could hold out for more than 20 days under the tight siege until General Sherman led an army of 200,000 to return for reinforcements.

Yes... Lieutenant General Devin Chandler was very suspicious of the Easterners' appetite.

The Georgia Corps is not fighting alone. There are nearly 200,000 troops led by General Sherman in the south, more than 100,000 troops led by General Samuel Brown on the Mississippi River in the east, and the Chicago metropolis more than 800 kilometers away in the north.

Strong military mobilization capabilities.

While ensuring its own defense, it is not difficult for Chicago to temporarily piece together a rescue force of no less than 60,000 to 70,000 people.

As soon as the Georgia Corps encountered the attack, it used the long-distance telegraph lines extending in all directions to send out an emergency message for help.

Although the external telegraph line is completely interrupted now, it just illustrates the current predicament faced by the Georgia Corps. The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, General Grant (former commander-in-chief Ambrose Everett Burnside) has been removed from his post and replaced by another general.

(Using) will not ignore it and will definitely take effective rescue measures.

Kansas and Chicago, plus Sherman and General Semel Samuel Brown's troops, were the four legs of the table for the Union Army on the Western Front. Without any one of them, the entire table would be unstable.

In summary

After the initial panic, Lieutenant General Devin Chandler quickly settled down and decided to adopt a more conservative defensive strategy to minimize the casualties of the effective forces, and was prepared for a long-term stubborn resistance.

Even if he were beaten to death, he would not be able to imagine how big the appetite of the Tang Kingdom was?

Not only did they want to swallow up the 60,000-strong Georgia Corps, but they also launched a full-scale invasion of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois in the north. Now the beacon fire has been ignited, and the entire northern states are shrouded in the Great Depression.

Under the shadow of the iron-heeled invasion of the Tang Kingdom.

Not to mention rescuing Kansas, Chicago can't even save itself.

Richard withdrew his palm from the bald eagle's head, and the entire battle process on the Kansas battlefield was like a picture, as clear as the lines on his palm, all in his mind.

With a very satisfied look on his face, he reached out and took out a handful of fresh meat sticks from the basin and threw it out. A dozen bald eagles in front of him flapped their wings to grab the food. This caused the two beautiful white tigers around him to reveal their ferocious mouths and whisper.

Roaring to intimidate these restless flat-haired beasts.

After a while

After feeding the bald eagles, Richard waved his hand and conveyed the silent command "Let's all disperse." The egrets and eagles immediately rose into the sky one after another, spread their wings and quickly disappeared into the dusk sky.

Don't worry about these raptors, they can always find a suitable place to stay, whether it's a tall tree or a steep mountain.

Except for humans, almost no animals can harm them.

Richard cleaned his hands and returned to the house with two tall and powerful beautiful white tigers. He sat down and took a sip of tea with a comfortable expression, then stretched out one hand...

The beautiful white tiger crawling next to him immediately stretched out his big head dexterously, and stroked it comfortably for Richard, as well-behaved as a kitten.

It's also interesting to say

His Majesty the King likes to raise birds of prey. Many high-ranking nobles in the Tang Dynasty followed suit and hired animal trainers with high salaries. Almost all of the highest-level circus animal trainers in Europe gathered in the Tang Kingdom. This actually led to a sharp decline in the European circus industry.

decline.

There was no way, all the experienced animal trainers had gone to the Tang Kingdom, and playing clowns in the circus could not attract many audiences.

Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Kahn got drunk and teased a brown bear. He was slapped to the ground by an angry brown bear. Several ribs were broken. He is still lying on the hospital bed unable to get up.

Although Lieutenant General Kahn is as strong as an ox, he is already 65 years old after all, and all his body functions are declining rapidly. It is unlikely that he will recover completely.

If you move a little too hard, the newly healed bones will break again.

Richard smiled and shook his head, expelling these insignificant things from his mind. While drinking tea, he squinted at the military deployment map not far away, feeling full of ambition.

He is exactly 30 years old this year, and he hopes to realize the expansion dream of the Tang Empire in the next two years and establish the basic territory of dominating North America. The strong sense of accomplishment in his heart is intoxicating.

Only from a military perspective

On the more than 2,370-kilometer-long front line spread by the Tang Kingdom from north to south, Kansas City in the middle was the most critical, located at the hub of the waist, so Richard personally went to the front line to take charge.

This battle can only be won, not lost, and it must be won cleanly.

As long as the city of Caesarea is in your own hands, you can live well in one place and everywhere.

On this vast Great Plains in the central United States, the Tang Kingdom can freely choose the direction of attack to the east, north, and south. It can take whatever it wants. The strategic room for maneuver is greatly increased, and it firmly controls the initiative on the Western Front battlefield.

.

The 180,000-strong army has firmly sealed off Kansas City. The fate of this American army has been destined to be completely destroyed.

The Tang Kingdom is not a Southerner. The Colorado Corps headquarters that has now occupied the train station is driving prisoners of war and laborers to repair the damaged more than ten kilometers of railway line from Manhattan to Kansas day and night. It is expected to be completed within three days.

Until then

Two heavy artillery divisions under the direct jurisdiction of the General Staff Headquarters will arrive along the railway line. These two divisions are equipped with 12-pound and 20-pound field heavy artillery. They are all breech-loading field artillery produced by the Colt Arms Company and use new trigger fuses.

The artillery shells are filled with yellow high explosives, representing the world's leading artillery technological achievements.

Once deployed

The power of explosion and damage is stronger than the solid bullets fired by the old 60-pound coastal heavy artillery, and it cannot be resisted by human power.

The dense defense of the US military in Kansas City really exploded into a large area. The thought of beating the Americans so hard makes people happy. How does it feel to be beaten and unable to fight?

after nightfall

On the road from Manhattan to Kansas, the busy carriage convoy formed a long river of torches. Like hard-working ants, they carried the artillery and ammunition equipped by the field artillery unit behind the Colorado Corps, one carriage and one carriage.

transported forward.

Each division of the Corps is equipped with 3-pound and 6-pound field artillery. Due to the rugged roads, heavy weapons and equipment such as artillery and ammunition fell behind at the beginning of the war. They could only be transported to the front after the roads were repaired.

The Georgia Corps in the encirclement showed no signs of launching a large-scale breakout at night, which gradually relieved Lieutenant General Harry Fletcher's anxious heart.

If tens of thousands of people break out at night, they may not be able to stop them with just the current crude defense line.

Given time, after the defensive perimeter was stabilized, the Georgia Corps would be unable to escape.

The corps sent troops north to capture St. Joseph and south to capture Revel. The troops successfully succeeded. Except for some troubles with the defenders of St. Joseph, everything else went smoothly.

Battle reports from the north showed that after a day of fierce fighting, the surprise attack troops from the north had entered the city of St. Joseph, occupied most of the city, and basically controlled the situation.

There were only a few stubborn enemies left, a total of about 720 people, huddled in a strong Catholic church and resisting.

As of the time the battle report was sent back, the fierce fighting was going on overnight. The attacking troops used three-pound field guns to violently bombard the stone walls of the church, trying to open a gap and wipe out the stubborn enemy.

At this point, the Battle of Kansas has been largely finalized, and the enemy in the encirclement has been trapped in a urn, unable to escape.
