Wild North America 1846

Chapter 314 Assault on Kansas

The accident that happened on Victory Day brought the whole of North America back to the focus of the world. However, due to the delay in the transmission of information, it was already more than ten days later.

January 1860th, 1.

Central Kansas Battlefield

At around 9:50 in the morning, the bright sunshine hangs high in the sky, exuding the brightest light of the day, and the cold wind is howling in the field, making people feel no warmth, showing 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 civil parapets stretching into the distance. U.S. soldiers with lazy expressions are hiding behind the defense line, holding rifles in their hands Groups of three or five gathered together to chat, unable to lift their spirits at all for this boring and boring defense task.

Ninety-nine percent of these U.S. soldiers in the middle and lower classes are vulgar illiterates who can't read a whole bunch of characters. They don't care about the political changes in the upper class and the situation in North America. Maybe the big buttocks of fat women can attract their attention and relish. You can chat for most of the day.

In a dense bush about 2 kilometers away from the U.S. defense line, Major Fan Pengju led his cavalry regiment to lurk here. Behind the cavalry regiment was a large black army, with no side in sight.

Major Fan Pengju looked nervously at Brigadier General Lin Feng, who was not far away, and saw Brigadier General Lin Feng and several senior officials of the division headquarters observing the enemy's situation with brass binoculars, and checking their wrist watches from time to time.

The time to launch the general offensive is getting closer and closer, even the usually calm Brigadier General Lin Feng can't help showing anxiety on his face.

As a veteran who participated in the Crimean War and a comrade-in-arms of Major General Fan Pengfei, the deputy commander of the Northern Corps, Lin Feng is now the commander of the Brigadier General of the 303rd Division of the First Class Field Division, which belongs to the Colorado Corps of the Central Military Region.

After the general offensive

The 303rd Division was responsible for quickly tearing a big opening on the south side of the U.S. defense line, and then rushed forward with a ferocious and decisive attack, seized the fatal weakness of the enemy's slow response, cooperated with neighboring troops to seize the Kansas train station, and held firmly In this area, the main railway line where the enemy fled south was blocked.

Since the 303rd Division and its neighbors are in charge of blocking the southern Kansas City railroad, there must be another army blocking the Kansas City Northern Railway Line, and there must be a mobile force that cuts forward and blocks the Kansas City Eastern Railway Line, thus encircling the enemy army in one fell swoop. annihilate.

This was a fatal blow launched by the Colorado Corps with all its strength, and with the cooperation of 3.1 Southern Army soldiers under General Hill's troops, more than 18 troops were invested to try to swallow all the Northern Army in Kansas City in one go. A hearty battle of annihilation.

Now not only is Brigadier General Lin Feng feeling the heavy pressure on his shoulders, but also Lord Harry Fritch, the Minister of the Corps, is also bearing a mountain of pressure on his shoulders, and he dare not relax at all.

Because His Majesty the King has come down to supervise the battle in person.

The Colorado Corps must win this battle cleanly. If this long-planned encirclement and annihilation battle turns out to be a deadly cannon, His Excellency Lord Harry Frech, the Minister of the Corps with the reputation of "Breaker Hammer", will not be able to explain to His Majesty. That shame is too shameful, the only way out is to ask for resignation.

The competition among high-ranking generals in the kingdom's army is extremely fierce.

Lord Harry Fritch led the Northern Cavalry Corps into the Great Lakes region in the third Tang-American War (the third Western Expedition of the United States), and rushed left and right, bloodbathed countless towns, and killed American Yankees crying Mother, a great blow to the war potential of the U.S. military, powerfully supported the frontal battlefield, and made outstanding contributions to finally winning the third Tang-US war.

His Excellency Lord Harry Fritch is in the heart of the emperor, and his family is prosperous, so that he can defeat other competitors and become the commander-in-chief of the most powerful mobile field corps in the Tang Kingdom. This is a heavy trust.

Therefore, the first shot of opening the door must be fired, and it must be played cleanly to win beautifully.

During the deployment of the campaign, the head of the Corps pressed down on the next level, repeatedly emphasizing that "all soldiers must not be afraid of sacrifice, move forward bravely, advance quickly with resolute and resolute actions, and resolutely complete combat tasks regardless of the cost, otherwise they will come to see you first. ".

The murderous order from the Corps Headquarters was conveyed to the Division Headquarters, and the Division Headquarters increased its weight and then passed it on to the regiment headquarters. The entire army could feel the heavy pressure, waiting to be completely released at the last moment...

Bragging doesn't work, it's the mule or the horse who pulls it out for a walk.

Which army doesn't have an ace dream in mind!
Usually, he didn't sweat less on the training ground, and he didn't shed less blood in the war. Looking at Ace's arrogant appearance, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious.

The whole army held their breath, waiting for the moment when the general attack order was issued...

There was a faint sound of assembly horns from the US defense line in the distance, and soon a large group of US troops poured out from the defense line. It seemed that they were about to train or do something, but Major Fan Pengju was confused.

Turning his head to look at the division commander, Brigadier General Lin Feng, he saw a smile of relief on his face, he let out a long sigh of relief and put down the binoculars in his hand, and gave orders with a smile on his lips;

"The entire cavalry regiment is on horseback, ready to charge."

In the dense bushes, countless figures stepped onto the horses one after another. The bushes could no longer hide their figures, and the traces of a large cavalry group appeared all at once, and they would soon be discovered by the US military.

But at this time, it doesn't matter even if it is discovered.

The 303rd Division was not unprepared before the battle. Through the channel of the Confederate Army, they finally contacted a certain commander of the Northern Army, that is, the chief of the defense line in front of them, and persuaded him to turn against the water and surrender to the enemy. .

Many commanders in the North and South of the United States know each other, and they were even close friends in the past. It is not difficult to get in touch.

For example, the commander of the Northern Army on the opposite side of the defense line was extremely dissatisfied with the "Emancipation Proclamation" issued by President James Buchanan. Feel extremely humiliated.

Since when were black slaves human?
When can blacks fight side by side with whites?

Isn't this ridiculous?
Many northern white slave owners simply could not accept such indiscriminate orders. They felt extremely disgusted with the blacks in the barracks, and the discrimination and exclusion against them were ubiquitous. Officer's rebellion incident.

in the mid 19th century
This was an era of serious discrimination against blacks. Even if a free black in the north accidentally stepped on the shadow of a white woman while walking, he would be beaten to death in the street.

If you look at a white woman with bad intentions, you will be hanged in the street.

Free blacks in the north must bow their heads and walk along the corner of the wall when walking on the street. When they meet a white gentleman passing by, they must stop and show enough humility.

Negroes cannot ride in horse-drawn carriages, enter restaurants and bars, enter libraries and theaters, stand shoulder to shoulder with whites in public meetings...

What the hell is the Emancipation Proclamation?

How can President James Buchanan control the property of white slave owners?
The huge wealth accumulated by white slave owners for more than 100 years disappeared in an instant. Who should be responsible for this?

Such a president, such a regime, will he still work for him?

A strong black slave is worth 800-1500 dollars, and a beautiful female black slave can even be sold for 3000 dollars. How much are dozens or hundreds of black slaves?
This is all private wealth!Whoever loses is heartbroken. This is the real reason why the hearts of the middle and high-level officers of the northern army are fluctuating. After all, money touches people's hearts.

This is no longer blocking people's money, such as killing parents, but robbing!
It was precisely because of the insight into the inner weaknesses of the northern officers that the Colorado Corps implemented targeted rebellion, and the effect looked great.

The method used is also very simple, nothing more than a lure.

If you lost 50 black slaves, then you will be compensated with 100. If 100 is not enough, then 150, if 150 is not enough, then 200. Are you tempted?

Promising a military position to the other party is not the most important thing. After all, as long as possible, no one wants to fight. Isn't it good to go back and be a rich man in peace and security?
"All attack!"

Brigadier General Lin Feng, the commander of the 303rd Division, stepped onto the horse and pointed forward with the sharp command saber in his hand. Countless cavalry spurred the horses to accelerate, and soon they galloped wildly.

Countless horseshoes beat the ground, making the ground tremble.

Thousands of war horses rushed out of the hidden bushes and began to gallop at high speed. The cavalrymen held shining sabers, which had already shone into a sea of ​​swords, revealing a cold and murderous look under the refraction of the sun.

Looking at the bald eagle flying high in the sky, you can see several cavalrymen rushing towards the US defense line on the 10-kilometer-long defense line, and then plunged into it fiercely, along the open gate It broke through.

Except for some not-so-intensive gunshots, the punctual general attack launched at 10:00 turned out to be extremely smooth. The cavalry who broke into the US defense line spread like a flood, and behind them was the dark army of the Tang Kingdom, like a tide. Wave after wave surged up and swept away towards Kansas City...

Hearing the gunshots from the outskirts of the city, the Georgia Corps in Kansas City was completely stunned at this time. They didn't know what happened when they asked Zhang San, and Li Si didn't know, and they went to the Corps Department to ask the chief.
It wasn't until the cavalrymen of the Tang Kingdom all over the mountains and plains rushed towards them brandishing sabers that the American soldiers of the Georgia Corps reacted, and then there was chaotic melee, chaotic running around, and chaotic organized resistance...

The sound of shouts and killings shook the heavens and the earth, and the infantrymen of the Tang Kingdom who followed the cavalry quickly came up in a neat line to cover up and kill them. Round after round of deadly gun strikes, the American soldiers who resisted for a short time collapsed again. , leaving a large body and fled back to the city.

Taking advantage of the enemy's ignorance and failing to organize an effective counterattack, the 303rd Division and its neighbors rushed forward quickly. After defeating more than a dozen groups of enemies along the way, they fully occupied the Kansas Railway Station at 11:55 noon. , Cut off the main railway line for the Northern Army to flee to the south in the city.

After completing the task, the 303rd Division immediately reorganized the army, relying on the solid buildings and trains of the train station to arrange a line of defense, preparing to deal with the fierce counterattack of the US military.

The total number of U.S. troops in Kansas City was as high as nearly 6. Even if some of them were wiped out in the early rush, the total number of casualties would be about [-], and their strength is still there.

Moreover, although the northern army was unresponsive, disorganized, and the quality of its officers was low, it was an army that had undergone bloody battles after all, and the white militiamen did not lack the spirit of sacrifice, so it was not easy to swallow it in one gulp.

After the initial panic, as soon as the upper ranks of the Georgia Corps began to organize a counterattack, a bloody battle was inevitable.
