Wild North America 1846

Major General Fan Pengfei was not in a hurry to answer General Hill's question. A good hunter must be patient. After all, Yankees are much more difficult to deal with than Mexicans, but they are also much fatter.

He took the coffee brought by the officer of the US Command, nodded and smiled to express his gratitude, and said, "It smells great, thank you, Mr. Lieutenant."

"It is my honor to serve you, Your Excellency the General."

"Your accent is Tennessee, am I right?"

"Yes, but how do you know..."

"Ahem... Lieutenant, you can go down." General Hill coughed twice, interrupted abruptly, and sent the little lieutenant who didn't wink to leave.

General Hill is now the commander-in-chief of the Kansas Army Corps. After the war, there are so many urgent matters for the troops. How can he have time to sit here and brag?

The Northern Army's onslaught in the morning alone caused a huge casualty of no less than 4000 people in the Kansas Corps. Replenish.

The more than 2000 officers and soldiers who have just arrived as reinforcements have not been properly arranged. The positions need to be reinforced, and the heavy machine guns need to be properly configured. His time can only be spent in half in a minute.

"Let's talk straight, Your Excellency, my time is very limited, I can only give you 5 minutes, how can you help us?"

"Everything you want."

"Please be clear, will the Tang Kingdom send troops? Will it bring the weapons, ammunition, military equipment we need, and tens of thousands of reinforcements?"

"Uh...the first question is frankly...no." Since General Hill was so anxious to get angry, Major General Fan Pengfei didn't go around in circles.

As soon as he finished speaking, General Hill's face turned dark.

If the Tang Kingdom doesn't send troops, then you are still here to push me, do you really see me being idle?
General Hill was not in the mood to continue talking nonsense, he stood up abruptly and was ready to go outside.

After the war, I don't know when the Northern Army will make a comeback. It is necessary to make up for the gap in the defense line as soon as possible. It will last for a while!

"But you have tens of thousands of active forces. We can help you arm them all, strengthen no less than 20 heavy machine guns, and organize them to enter the battlefield from the west to flank the enemy's weak right wing... I don't know what this suggestion is?" Major General Fan Pengfei Sitting firmly on the chair, the old god said.

His words made General Hill suddenly stop, turned his head and said in surprise and joy; "Really?"

"It's not true. There are still more than 4800 officers and soldiers stationed in Fort Hugo. There are 7 towns all the way east from Fort Hugo. Each town can be armed with 400 to 1000 volunteer militiamen. Experienced officers and enough armaments, plus a piece of paper, and by this time tomorrow they could be out on the field flanking the Yankees and taking them by surprise."

Major General Fan Pengfei calmly took a sip of the coffee, and an unspeakable ugly expression appeared on his face. This damn coffee is bitter, astringent, scum, and dusty, and at least half of it is dust after one sip. Is it mud?

He suppressed the discomfort and swallowed, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his lips, decided not to touch this damn coffee again, and then said; "We happen to have experienced officers and some stockpiles of munitions, now You need a piece of military order from General Hill, you see... defeating the opponent is as simple as that."

"If that's the case... wouldn't all the town defense facilities along the 800-kilometer railway from Fort Hugo to Kansas City fall into your hands?"

"This statement is wrong." Major General Fan Pengfei shook his head, and said with a regretful expression that I sincerely helped you, but you even doubted me; "There are only two possibilities to choose in front of Your Excellency the General;

One is according to the way I said, within 30 hours from now to noon tomorrow, the Southern Army Headquarters will give you reinforcements of no less than 1.2 troops, and then gather more than [-] surprise soldiers from the west for a flank assault.

You have a [-]% certainty that you can defeat the enemy in front of the Northern Army, completely break the siege of Kansas City, and establish a reversal of the victory in World War I.

The other is to continue the current tug-of-war situation. Even with the addition of 1.2 reinforcements from the Southern Army Headquarters, the total strength of the Kansas Regiment does not exceed 5, facing Sherman's 14 troops.

Most of the Southern Army had been fighting hard for more than a week, while the Northern Army under the command of Sherman was still able to maintain a relatively strong fighting spirit due to its absolute superiority in strength, and each department took turns to fight.

If this goes on, it probably won't last for a few days...

Which one to go and which one to follow, please make a clear lesson, General, and make a decision as soon as possible.

Whether it's Fort Hugo or the small towns along the railway line, as long as the relationship between the South and our Tang Kingdom is not completely broken, this land is still yours, and no one can take it away.

The Kingdom of Tang Dynasty was just a friendly help to avoid being invaded by the Yankees, so there is no need to interpret it too much.

If it falls into the hands of the Northern Army, it will be difficult to take it back. "

Major General Fan Pengfei's voice was like the temptation of the devil, which made General Hill's expression visibly shaken. He temporarily withdrew the troops stationed at the border and joined the volunteer militia from the railway towns along the way. Indeed, it is possible to form a force of tens of thousands.

If it is led by an experienced officer, this is a surprise soldier.

The situation in the current battle situation is obvious. The southern army is more well-trained and more powerful in combat effectiveness. In most battles, it is less against more and can gain the upper hand.

The uniforms of the northern army are messy, and their combat effectiveness is low, but they are superior because they have a large number of people. As long as they go through a few bloody battles, their impact cannot be underestimated.

The Kansas Legion suffered a great loss. Although they had the upper hand in this round of defending the city, they killed and wounded more than 4 enemy troops, almost double their own casualties.

However, due to the huge disparity in military strength, the situation became even more critical.

Although the southern headquarters is still trying its best to mobilize reinforcements, the reinforcements of two or three trains per day are of no use at all. The daily battle consumption and casualties are as high as 5000 to [-] people, and the situation of the battle cannot be completely changed.

What Major General Fan Pengfei said was indeed reasonable. At the critical moment, a new force would come out from the flanks to cooperate with the counterattack with all its strength. It was indeed possible to defeat the Yankees, and then cover them up...

The problem is; Datang Kingdom is not a good bird!

Just when General Hill was hesitating, General Simpson stabbed him and said carelessly: "Your Excellency, I think what General Fan said is very reasonable, anyway... let's get through this difficult time before we talk about other things." Fortress Hugo fell into the hands of the friendly army, that is a headache for the big shots above, the two sides can't turn their faces, right?"

"General Simpson can understand that the War Loan granted by the Kingdom of Tang to the South has reached as high as 4.5 million yuan, and the entire land of no man in Kansas has been mortgaged to us. Why do you want to covet your Hugo Fortress? It can be worth so much How much money?" Major General Fan Pengfei sneered very cooperatively.

General Hill and Major General Simpson were persuaded. Judging from the current situation, the Tang Kingdom and the South are not an alliance, but an alliance. First of all, the huge war loan is not fake, and the massive supply of materials to the south is not fake.

This is extremely confusing, and General Hill fell into deep thought;
How about temporarily throwing border defenses to potential allies and getting through the immediate crisis first?
I have to say; who plays what bird?

King Richard is a master who is not enough to take advantage of it. Through the war, he seized the land of eight northern states in Mexico, and plotted against Mexico City and the surrounding prosperous places. His eyes are still fixed on the Aztec Republic in the south, and he single-handedly dominates the country. country puppet government.

Through the victory of the first US-Tang war, the Tang Kingdom ceded the six northern states of the United States, and plotted the Great Lakes heavy industry area with the Chicago metropolis as its core...

What is good at the top will be effective at the bottom.

No...Major General Fan Pengfei adhered to the wishes of the General Staff Headquarters, and took advantage of the crisis in the south to make trouble.

This kind of hypocrisy is like the neighbor next door can't get rid of the pot, and the whole family may starve to death if they keep going.Therefore, Datang Kingdom took the initiative to let your little girl be raised by me, and we will talk about it when your family's life improves. That's what it means.

What does Fort Hugo mean?
This is a natural geographical barrier between the United States and the Tang Kingdom, consisting of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert and Gobi desert, while Fort Hugo is the high wall blocking the westernmost, its importance is self-evident.

After more than ten years of painstaking efforts by the United States, Hugo Fortress has been repeatedly strengthened, heightened and widened, and various forts and defensive trenches have been set up. There are more than [-] local troops and residents.

It can be said that this is a majestic and majestic city standing on the Gobi Desert, a large fortress built for war. There are only two reservoirs, and the railway can go directly to the inside of the fortress.

If in wartime, the army of the Datang Kingdom wants to gnaw down this line of defense, the casualties of 3 to [-] people are considered small. If the U.S. reinforcements are timely, then how much the army of the Datang Kingdom will have to spend to conquer the fortress No more.

It is about 810 kilometers east from Fort Hugo to Kansas City (more than 60 kilometers west of Hugo to Red Rock Valley Fort). There is a post station every [-] kilometers along this railway line, and now it has developed into a small town. With varying numbers of garrisons and policemen, they can demolish the railways at any time according to the instructions of Shangfeng, and prevent the continuous invasion of the Great Tang Kingdom's troops into the American inland plains.

If war is launched against the United States, these are unavoidable obstacles.

If the seven small towns along the way destroy the railway line together, how long will it take to recover?
At that time, there will be no more opportunities for war. The Americans can quickly mobilize powerful military and civilian power, form a new solid line of defense in Kansas City, and start a bloody tug-of-war with the invading Datang Kingdom army...

It is still unknown who will win the deer?

Losing the control of Hugo Fortress and the seven small towns along the route is tantamount to opening the door to the army of the Tang Kingdom who is armed to the teeth and has no protection. The danger can be imagined.

And if the Tang Kingdom is guarding Hugo Fortress, then there will be three iron gates of Hugo Fortress, Hongyan Valley Fortress and Phoenix Fortress. The daunting super-large fortress group is almost impenetrable.

If the army of the Tang Kingdom controls the 7 small towns along the railway line, and the most eastern forces reach Manhattan, then the Great Plains with millions of square kilometers to the east, south, and north of Kansas City will become a reality. threaten.

The momentum of offense and defense has changed!

The world-renowned powerful cavalry of the Datang Kingdom can easily enter and exit the Great Plains in the central part of the United States like going home. Dozens of cities and hundreds of towns within this range are under the threat of the cavalry of the Datang Empire. No exception.
