Wild North America 1846

While the White House was urgently looking for countermeasures, the war machine of the Tang Kingdom was advancing with frightening stability. After the First Army of the Northern Army was divided, each unit launched an orderly attack in accordance with the established goals.

The partial division with more than 30,000 troops marched northward, advancing rapidly and heading towards Minneapolis, the capital of Minnesota, with murderous intent. The towns along the way could not afford any waves, let alone cause any obstacles.

The main force, with more than 50,000 people along the way, continued to rush eastward, advancing more than 230 kilometers in 6 days, approaching Milwaukee, an important city on the Great Lakes, and was about to approach the city.

The Second Army of the Northern Army crossed the river from Fortress Omaha. After attacking two important cities in Des Moines County and Iowa, the entire army took a short rest to take a breather and began to collect American prisoners on a large scale.

Prepare for the final attack on the Chicago metropolis.

Davenport, not far east of Iowa, is just a small town. With the iron-heeled soldiers of the Tang Dynasty pressing down on the border, huge fear has spread. The city's defenders have already broken out in a large-scale rout. In fact, it is no longer possible.

It hindered the army's eastward march.

When the troops arrived in Chicago, only a thin layer of window paper was left...

kansas city

This transportation hub city in the Great Plains has experienced two wars. Its geographical location and importance are very similar to Zhengzhou in the Central Plains of China. Due to its military importance, it has been repeatedly contested. Now the city is facing the catastrophe of the third war.

.

After the "rumbling" fierce bombardment lasted for more than two hours, soldiers from the Tang Kingdom swarmed up, occupied the ruins of the city after the bombardment, and then built multiple lines of defense on the spot.

The American soldiers who rushed out of the ruins of the city shouted and cheered for themselves, and launched a hand-to-hand counterattack with sharp bayonets, trying to regain the lost positions.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty raised their bolt-action rifles and fired rows of steady and deadly bullets. The American soldiers fell down one after another like wheat as blood spattered, and soon the fields were littered with corpses.

This scene has been repeated many times. The Colorado Corps took advantage of artillery fire and infantry weapons to advance step by step. On the fifth day of the siege, it had occupied approximately 3/4 of the ruins of Kansas City and would

The remnant enemy, less than 20,000 strong, was suppressed in a small ruin in the east of the city.

For the Georgian regiment these days, it was like they were suffering in the fire of hell. They were beaten so badly.

Since the arrival of the two heavy artillery divisions of the Colorado Corps, they have started a stable and extremely efficient harvest. The fierce artillery fire covered the ruins of the city and tore all the heavy troops accumulated by the US military into pieces.

After the artillery was covered, the infantry of the Tang Kingdom followed closely, clearing out the remaining enemies from the artillery fire in the ruins of the city, consolidating their positions, and destroying the American soldiers who tried to counterattack with accurate and deadly volleys of gunfire.

Then the artillery position moved forward, and the artillery shell transport carriage followed closely, preparing for the next round of attack.

Repeatedly like this, it is like a tight war machine that consumes a large number of human lives, completely unable to resist.

In just 5 days

The Georgia Corps lost 13,700 people, nearly 10,000 were captured, and nearly 2,000 people were missing. It is estimated that the missing people were either torn to pieces by artillery fire, or were crushed in the rubble of the city, or else they were missing.

Swallowed by the bone-chilling Missouri River, very few survived, and it was impossible to escape.

The Tang Kingdom's army suffered only more than 560 casualties, including 232 killed and more than 330 wounded. The losses were minimal.

The well-trained army of the Tang Kingdom was like an efficient killing machine, bringing endless despair and fear to the Georgia Corps, as if the end of the world was coming.

On the ruins of the battlefield

Major Fan Pengju, with a stern look on his face, directed the soldiers of the regiment's cavalry artillery company to clear the rubble and set up the three-pound field artillery position. It took a while to finish.

He looked around

Everything you see is a charred ruin, with not a single intact house. The corpses of Northern Army soldiers lying like beggars are scattered on the ground. The smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke is so strong that it chokes your nose.

"Huh!"

Major Fan Pengju noticed that a corpse in the corner seemed to be moving. He immediately pulled out the revolver from the leather holster, walked forward, pointed it at the corpse and pulled the trigger.

"Pa bang bang..."

The Northern Army soldier who was playing dead after being hit by three rounds of bullets twisted in pain and reluctantly took his last breath. Now he really turned into a corpse.

The sound of gunfire immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers. Major Fan Pengju calmly inserted the revolver into his holster and ordered, "This is our newly established artillery position. Don't be careless. Immediately center on this and move the area within 300 meters."

Re-touch the corpses within meters to prevent sneak attacks by enemy soldiers pretending to be dead."

"As you command, sir."

The soldiers immediately pulled out their sharp bayonets and stuck them on the muzzles of their guns. They spread out and stabbed the American corpses lying on the ground. Screams could be heard from time to time in the ruins of the city. It seemed that there were quite a few enemy soldiers pretending to be dead.

Major Fan Pengju inspected the battlefield meticulously. After entering the siege, his cavalry regiment was left behind. Only the artillery company and the heavy machine gun company participated in the battle, and all other soldiers were repaired on the spot.

The cavalry regulations of the Tang Kingdom clearly stated;

The cavalry shall not directly attack the infantry formation; shall not participate in siege battles; shall not participate in fortified battles; shall not directly attack the enemy's heavy machine gun positions; in face-to-face battles, horse-mounted infantry warfare will be the main force...

In an era when infantry weapons are becoming increasingly sharp, the combat methods of cavalry regiments are greatly restricted, and they are ineffective on many occasions. Their role in the war gradually gives way to infantry and artillery.

But Major Fan Pengfei still loves cavalry. His cavalry regiment was the first to break through the US defense line immediately after the general attack was launched. When the US military was at a loss, it launched a fierce cavalry assault and defeated more than a dozen soldiers along the way.

Stock American soldiers.

He was awarded outstanding meritorious service for the 303rd Division and neighboring troops to successfully penetrate to the Kansas train station and cut off the Georgia Corps' southward escape route, and performed very well.

That day, Major Fan Pengfei's cavalry sword was stained with blood and cut more than a dozen gaps...

After the siege campaign was launched

Major Fan Pengfei led the regimental field artillery company to accompany the offensive troops, providing stable and efficient fire support along the way. No fewer than hundreds of American soldiers were killed under artillery fire. The credit was real.

Division Commander Lin Feng highly praised the outstanding performance of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment. After this battle, it is a high probability that Major Fan Pengju will receive a silver star on his shoulder.

Sure enough, winning on the battlefield is the only way to get promoted!

"Brothers, come to eat!" A few guys from the cooking squad, carrying burdens, loudly greeted the soldiers on the position.

Their arrival immediately aroused cheers from the soldiers. Meal time was the most relaxing and comfortable moment on the battlefield. Many soldiers happily ran over with guns on their backs, and their sharp bayonets were stained with red blood.

When the cover of the wooden barrel was lifted, the hot potato broth was revealed, and the whole barrel of flatbread exuded the fragrant aroma of food.

The soldiers loaded up a bowl of hot soup, took two large cakes and started to wolf down the food. They stood or squatted on a battlefield full of corpses and ate the delicious food without affecting their appetite at all.

I’ve seen too much death, and it’s just that.

"Sir, I've called you some food."

The orderly in the regiment came over with a large basin of hot soup in one hand and two large cakes in the other. He sandwiched the large cakes under the creaking nest, took out a piece of cloth from his bag, unfolded it, and spread it on half of the wall pillars.

.

Then, the orderly placed the soup basin and flatbread on the cloth, and like magic, took out a pair of silver knives, forks and spoons from his schoolbag, placed them neatly, and took out a piece of beef wrapped in oil paper and placed it on the temporary

On the table, this piece of beef is still steaming a little.

Then, the orderly took out a small piece of cheese and a small portion of refreshing pickles, leaving only a vase to arrange.

The treatment barriers for officers and soldiers in the army of the Tang Dynasty were strict. Even when fighting in the field, officers of major and above could enjoy a single dining table and enjoy the more exquisite treatment of a colonel. This single field dining table was carried by orderlies, and the same was true for the tableware.

Although the staple food for officers is the same as that for soldiers, it is obvious that there is a lot of meat in the soup basin, and it is piled up to the top. This must be the essence from the bottom of the barrel!

Major Fan Pengju was used to such special treatment. He nodded reservedly and said, "Thank you, orderly. Go and eat by yourself. I will call you if anything happens."

"Yes, sir." After the orderly saluted with a military salute, he ran away quickly.

Major Fan Pengju took out his white handkerchief, wiped his silver knife and fork, and began to eat his lunch in an elegant manner.

The city in the background was in ruins, and intermittent gunshots could be heard in the distance from time to time. Such a war background could not affect his appetite. Conquest was full of cruelty and bloody killings.

The Colorado Corps is not advancing quickly, but it is very stable. It will stop attacking at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, use streets or dilapidated buildings to build stable defense lines, configure heavy machine gun fire positions, and light bonfires at night to prevent the U.S. military from attacking.

A desperate counterattack.

The Georgian regiment did try to engage in a melee at night, and tried many times, but always failed.

The worst incident was the night before yesterday, when Lieutenant General Devin Chandler tried to concentrate his main force to launch uninterrupted waves of attacks, trying to break through the Tang Kingdom's night defense line and engage in a hand-to-hand melee.

Unfortunately, the Colorado Corps had already taken precautions. When the battle was critical, they suddenly threw a large number of glass bottles filled with gasoline. They ignited and formed a sea of ​​​​fire, clearly illuminating the attacking American soldiers.

What followed was a dense volley of gunfire mixed with heavy machine gun fire and fierce artillery fire, causing heavy casualties to the large number of American soldiers gathered. The corpses were piled up several stories high on the battlefield, like a huge slaughterhouse.

This fierce night battle lasted for several hours, and the gunfire stopped just before dawn. The U.S. military suffered more than 5,000 casualties and did not make an inch of progress. The battle was broken.

Since then, it has stopped at night.

Major Fan Pengju was enjoying his battlefield lunch. When he was almost done eating, he burped with satisfaction and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. At this time, he heard bursts of shouts coming from the east.

As he listened carefully, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

The soldiers of the Brotherhood shouted "Oh... victory, the Yankees surrender."

Serious internal strife broke out in the Georgia Corps. Some soldiers shot the regiment commander, Lieutenant General Devon Chandler, and many senior officers in the headquarters, and then threw down their guns and surrendered.

They have had enough of this depressing war where they can only be beaten without being able to fight back, living every day under the huge shadow of death.

Showdown, surrender!

The good news of victory spread thoroughly, attracting cheers like a tsunami from the officers and soldiers participating in the war, "Long live the Tang Kingdom, long live your Majesty, long live!" "Long live the heroic Colorado Corps!" "Wonderful... Won...

Win..."

There are still about 20,000 remaining enemies of the Georgia Corps huddled in the east of Kansas City. They raised their hands dejectedly and walked out of the ruins of the city. They were all unkempt and looked like beggars.

these days

The remnants of the Georgia Corps lost most of their military supplies and were blocked in a small area in the east of the city by fierce artillery fire and lethal treatment. They were cut off from food and grass and had no food to eat. They could no longer survive.

Lieutenant General Harry Fletcher, commander of the Corps, who came after hearing the news, had a red face. Looking at the dejected group of American prisoners in front of him, an unstoppable smile broke out on his face.

The Colorado Army won the Kansas War neatly, swallowed up the entire Georgia Army in one fell swoop, and achieved a wonderful record of annihilating all enemy forces. It lived up to His Majesty's trust.

The Georgia Corps is not a weak force. It is the main field corps of the Northern Army. This corps has a large number of experienced Civil War veterans, many of whom have been wounded many times on the battlefield. This is a valuable asset.

The entire Georgia regiment was wiped out cleanly and neatly, which was equivalent to cutting off one of the four legs. The table on the entire Western Front battlefield was unstable. Its significance was by no means as simple as killing and capturing more than 60,000 people.

Compared with the weak local garrison forces, the Georgia Corps can withstand 200,000 troops or more. Once the news of this victory comes out, I am afraid that the White House will have a painful sleepless night.

Of course, the news must be strictly blocked now.

Because General Sherman's troops in the north have given up the siege of Vicksburg, the army has begun to withdraw northward, and is expected to arrive in the Cedar Mountain area in the near future...

General Sherman's troops marched southward, burning, killing and looting. Now the looted items in the army are piled up in pits and valleys. This makes the army retreating north very bloated. More than 17,000 carriages returned full of loot. One day

We can only go forward less than 20 kilometers.

At this rate, it would take a month and a half to arrive in Kansas City.

Therefore, in order to understand the siege of Kansas City, General Sherman sent an elite team composed of cavalry and infantry, with a total strength of about 75,000 people. They advanced rapidly in front of the main force at starry night, and could march up to 45 kilometers in a day.

In about half a month's time, its forward will arrive at Revere occupied by the Colorado Corps, which is a city about 120 kilometers south of Kansas City.

Now that the Georgia Corps in Kansas City has been dealt with in advance, the Colorado Corps of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty can fully deploy their hands and open a large net to wait for the Yankees to rush in.
