Wild North America 1846

Chapter 313 North America Is Boiling

At 1860 o'clock in the morning on January 1, 15, on a broad front stretching more than 10 kilometers from north to south, the four major military regions of the Tang Kingdom, with a total of 2370 elite soldiers armed to the teeth, attacked at the same time, starting a war in North America. The first shot of war.

northern battlefield

从更北方皮尔城渡河的大唐王国北方军团第一军所属102、 103 、106、404、406等5个甲级野战师和4个乙级师共计8万余名官兵，在齐装满员的渡过冬季水量枯竭的密苏里河后。

Take a break
At about 1:15 in the morning on January 6th, after the whole army was fed up and down, they used the 00nd Cavalry Division as an arrow, cast a large net, and swooped south along the Missouri River, pulling out all the US coastal guard posts along the way, and eradicating A small group of U.S. troops covered a battlefield more than 102 kilometers wide, sweeping everything with a murderous look.

There was a mistake in killing, but I didn't let it go.

After going south for more than 10 kilometers at about 00:30 noon, bypassing the vast swamp forest area, the army turned east and went straight to Orange, and surrounded and occupied the city of Orange on the east bank of the Missouri River at about 4:00 p.m. rule.

The short but not intense battle lasted for more than an hour. The Orange garrison surrounded by the army of the Tang Kingdom had only 4500 militiamen. The militiaman knelt down without incident.

At night, the main force of the First Army of the Northern Army entered Orange City for a short rest.

Although the time was a bit late, the officers and soldiers all ate hot broth and flatbread to ensure that they could replenish their physical strength for fighting in the severe cold season.

The next step of the First Army's battle plan;
It will start from Orange and sweep all the way eastward to all American towns, and divide the troops again after advancing 4 kilometers in 120 days.

A partial division of about 3 people marched northward into Minnesota, with the ultimate goal of capturing and occupying the state capital, Minneapolis, and surrounding towns, so as to exercise effective rule over the state.

After occupying the state, this partial division will conduct repeated raids on towns and villages in the state, arresting the family members of those young and strong men who joined the northern army as war crimes. It is women of childbearing age and girls who are about to grow into teenage girls, and those who resist are severely suppressed.

This move is firstly to reduce the number of men, and secondly to open up men for the vast number of Chinese who immigrated to the north and south, and solve the problem of lack of women.The third is to rule Minnesota forever, to teach these remaining Yankees a good lesson, let them know what obedience is?

Since the Tang Dynasty ended in disregard of the opposition of international public opinion, King Li Cha came here to eat meat, regardless of his image, he swallowed the fat in his stomach and digested it first.

What kind of image does "Devil King Richard" want?
All he needs is the fear of the Yankees, the kind of fear that goes deep into the bone marrow. The iron hooves of the Tang Kingdom poured into Minnesota to kill people, and it will remind these Yankees of the great fear of being dominated by the Eastern Cavalry 10 years ago. and passed down from generation to generation.

The main force of the First Army, with more than 5 people, will continue to advance eastward, occupying important cities such as Milwaukee, the capital of Wisconsin, Madison, and Green Bay along the Great Lakes, and consolidate its rule over the area.

And like a partial division, it repeatedly swept nearby towns and villages, arrested the family members of war criminals, wiped out armed rebels and militias, and wiped out the remnants of the enemy like autumn leaves.

At this point, the staged combat mission of the First Army has come to an end. The planned period is about one and a half months, that is, to complete all occupation, clean-up and maintenance of public order missions by the end of March.

At that time, Phase 2 combat missions begin;
The divisions that went north to Apollos, Minnesota will go south in a big way, leaving only two second-level divisions to maintain local law and order, guarantee the absolute dominance of the Tang Empire over the state, and continue to carry out the task of clearing up small groups of remnants of the enemy.

The partial division of Nansha and the main force of Milwaukee's First Army met in Milwaukee, the capital of Wisconsin. After completing the integration, after a short rest, the army continued to move south.

The goal of going south is Rockford, about 107 kilometers away from Milwaukee, which is the last barrier to the northwest of the Chicago metropolis.

Once the city of Rockford is occupied by the army of the Tang Kingdom, the entire north and northwest of the Chicago metropolis will be completely exposed to the front of the First Army without any hindrance.

Also unforgettable on January 1th, the Second Army of the Northern Corps crossed the Missouri River, which was depleted in winter, from the vicinity of Fort Omaha. There are 15 Class A division and 101 Class B divisions, with a total of more than 104 people.

The Second Army officially launched at about 1:15 in the morning on January 7th, advancing along the road to the east. Along the way, it will successively capture the three important towns of Des Moines County, Iowa and Davenport. Open the eastern gates of the Chicago metropolis and encircle this important metropolis from the east.

The three important towns facing the 2nd Army all had strong fortifications, and they were the most critically defensive areas of the Chicago metropolitan area. They had stockpiled about 6 heavy troops, aiming to stop the possible invasion of the Tang Kingdom step by step.

In terms of total military strength
The U.S. military has a lot of defensive troops, which is basically the same as the offensive second army. Coupled with the defense of the fortified city barriers, it seems that it should be able to contain the Datang Kingdom's offensive pace.

In fact, this is not the case. Two of the four divisions of the Second Army are cavalry divisions, namely the 4st and 101th divisions. These two cavalry divisions are equipped with Ranger heavy machine gun battalions and Ranger artillery battalions. There are also two cuirassier regiments with extremely strong impact and field strength, representing the highest level of cavalry in the Tang Kingdom.

Such an elite force is an out-and-out nightmare for the US military to fight in the wild.

If the U.S. military rushes forward rashly relying on its strength, it can only deliver food to the door, and basically there will be no second ending.

You must know that the metropolis of Chicago has a population of more than one million. Even after the large-scale conscription in the Civil War between the North and the South, the total population of residents is still more than 80, and it has a strong ability to mobilize and replenish supplies.

The surrounding towns have dense factories, developed economies, and large populations. They are the most elite areas of the Great Lakes industrial area. In terms of importance, they are second only to the metropolitan area from New York to Philadelphia, and rank second in the northern United States.

totally conceivable
In order to keep the Chicago area from being invaded, it can be said that the United States of America must do its best to reinforce it, and it is absolutely impossible to admit defeat easily. An unprecedented bloody battle in this area is predictable.

The complete occupation of Chicago and its surrounding towns is the ultimate mission of the second phase of the Northern Legion.

This task was not accomplished by the Northern Army Corps alone, but by relying on the strong Colorado Army Corps to complete the task of sweeping the Great Plains in the central United States and then move northward.

The Northern Legion and the Colorado Legion joined forces to form a heavy force group with a scale of more than 35. The Tang Kingdom will continue to make every effort to reinforce the front line according to the battlefield situation. The total scale of the Chicago battle is likely to exceed 50.

After entering 1860
After His Majesty the King confirmed the major policy of intervening in the melee in North America, the entire immigration system of the Tang Kingdom began to operate at a high speed, basically sending mainland recruits to North America at a rate of 2.8 to 3.2 per month.

That is
As long as 3 to 4 months, the North American front will increase its military strength by 10 people, and so on.

When the Army of the North and the Army of Colorado completed the task of encircling Chicago one after another, these 10 recruits from the mainland would also arrive at the Chicago battlefield and join in the unprecedented brutal and bloody siege battle.

The general strategy set by King Richard for the Battle of Chicago is to "lure the enemy to go deep, encircle the points to fight for aid, clean up the town and unite the town, and fight poison with poison." These are the 16-character policy.

How to understand?
The 8 words "lure the enemy to go deep, surround the spot and fight for aid" are easy to understand.

That is, when the heavy army group of the Tang Dynasty formed a strong pressure on the city and surrounded the metropolis of Chicago, Washington must have panicked.

Even if it is an extreme mobilization, the White House must organize a large number of reinforcements to rush to the battlefield in Chicago, and it is necessary to preserve the essence of the Great Lakes, which is crucial to the United States.

The fall of the Chicago metropolis is an unbearable burden for the Yankees, and they will definitely not give up.

Thus

The heavy military group of the Tang Kingdom can choose the opportunity to form a reinforcement group with strong mobility and firepower, divide and encircle the reinforcements of the US military, and eliminate them one by one, so as to greatly consume the Yankees' war potential.

Not rushing forward rashly, accumulating small victories into big victories, and focusing on destroying the enemy's vital forces are the core goals of this strategy.

"Clean up the township and merge the town, fight poison with poison." How do you understand these 8 words?
"Cleaning up villages and merging towns" has already been said before, so I won't repeat it here, and focus on the four words "fighting poison with poison".

"Fighting poison with poison" Datang Kingdom in the first, second, and third Tang-US wars (the United States called it the first, second, and third Western Expeditions, which were the most serious crises that the Tang Kingdom faced after the founding of the country) , have used this trick repeatedly, and the practical effect is very ideal.

The specific method is to quickly transform and incorporate the captured American soldiers, form a new cannon fodder unit, that is, the Confederate Army, and then drive the Confederate Army to fight on the front line, thereby consuming a large amount of U.S. resistance.

This is a method of warfare commonly used by the Mongols, and it has repeatedly appeared on the European battlefield in the Middle Ages. However, since modern times, this tactic has gradually declined with the development of thermal weapons.

The most recent

It should be that in the second Opium War launched by the British and French allied forces, the Chinese people were driven to bear the burden for the invading army, transport logistics supplies, build ladders during the attack, and assist the British and French allied forces to capture Beiping City...

For actual application on the battlefield, the army of the Tang Kingdom has the most experience, but it is estimated that this time it has invaded the northern hinterland of the United States and is facing an extremely difficult urban battle like Chicago. The scale of application is far greater than before.

Fortunately, the army of the Kingdom of Tang had Southerners and other underdogs, no matter how many there were, as long as the converted American captives were included in the sequence of the Confederate Army, the whole thing would not seem contrary to harmony, and it would be much more reasonable.

Presumably, the Southerners, who have already killed red eyes, already hated the "scorched earth policy" implemented by the Yankees, and didn't mind being taken advantage of.

There is no doubt that the Southerners hated the Yankees more than their Eastern allies.

As for saying that the southerners should be grateful and like the Tang Kingdom army for helping them in times of crisis, that's purely overthinking.

Southerners are not fools!

They knew that because the army of the Tang Kingdom was not good, nor did they come to do good deeds, their intervention in the civil war between the North and the South was to split and devour the large and fertile territory of the United States, and they had a huge appetite.

The Nanguo owed the Tang Kingdom a huge sum of 7 million Tang Yuan at high interest rates, and the Tang Kingdom would not allow the Southern Lao to be defeated, let alone this huge sum of money.

after the war

The southerners have to repay this high-interest loan with interest, maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years, maybe 30 years, maybe never.

In this case, who can like it?

When the Northern Army and the Colorado Army were operating at the same time, the Southern Army was not idle, and more than 5 people from the main force gathered in the snowy mountain area, and about 7.3 Confederate troops had arrived or were on the way. It was the first large-scale coordinated operation since then.

Cedar Mountain is located 81 kilometers southwest of Vicksburg. It is a small range of low mountains. To be precise, it is a tall hilly area, mainly with hills and mountains ranging from tens of meters to more than 300 meters.

More than [-] troops hid in it, and they couldn't find it unless they came close.

The mission of the Confederate Army was to intercept and slow down the nearly 20 troops of General Sherman, the main force of the Northern Army, and defeat them if possible. Of course, this was not easy.

In order to achieve the combat goal, the Confederate States are doing their best to mobilize the Texas militia, intending to gather a total force of more than 10 troops, and deal a fatal blow to General Sherman's troops when they rush northward to rescue them.

The civil war has been fought until now, and both the North and the South are red-eyed.

More than 20 people under General Sherman burned, killed and looted all the way in the south, implemented the bloody "scorched earth policy", and released a large number of black slaves, and then incorporated them into the army.

All of this made the southern white slave owners hate this army, and they wished to smash their corpses into thousands of pieces to relieve their hatred. How could they allow them to escape smoothly?

In order to mobilize reinforcements to the Cedar Mountain area, the government of the Confederate States almost exhausted all their energy. If the quality is not enough, then the quantity is used. Anyway, it will be over.

For reasons of secrecy, before the "Victory Day", the Confederate government kept the secret of the Tang Kingdom's army sneaking into the Cedar Mountain area and kept it secret.

After the Great Tang Kingdom formally declared war on the United States of America, in order to boost morale and recruit as many soldiers as possible, the Confederate government launched almost all channels to spread the good news of "the Great Tang Kingdom officially declared its participation in the war".

And in the name of "revenge", the army was once again recruited to the limit. This really ushered in the enthusiastic participation of the violent Texas rednecks. From the old man with the white beard to the teenage dolls, they all rode on horses with guns, and gathered together in a mighty way. Ready to seek revenge on the Yankees.

On Victory Day, all of North America was boiling.
