Wild North America 1846

May 5, around 28:10 am

on the ground north of chicago

Accompanied by the sound of a neat volley of guns, a group of white deserters in ragged clothes with their hands tied behind their backs were knocked to the ground by dense bullets. After the execution, the soldiers put on bright bayonets and went forward to make up for the dying deserters. .

This scene happened again and again, and the officers were no longer interested.

different from the past

The soldiers of the Northern Legion of the Tang Kingdom were lined up on the black ground, and the blackness was endless. Hundreds of military flags fluttered violently in the wind, conveying an unusual solemn atmosphere.

General Chen Chuan, the commander of the Northern Army, Lieutenant General Lei Jueshen, the deputy commander, and Lieutenant General George Rabiot gathered together, and everyone had a serious look on their faces.

This is already the 13th day after the Battle of Chicago. The battle has been unprecedentedly bloody and brutal. The Hill Corps of the Confederate States has been crippled, with nearly 20 troops, and now only less than 6 are left, unable to continue to attack.

The white cannon fodder in the hands of the Northern Legion and the Southern Legion also consumed more than half, and the oil stars would not be blown up even if they continued to squeeze.

Now, it's time for the Tang Kingdom's army to make its official debut.

After 13 days of repeated see-saw bloody battles, the defense line north of Chicago remained between the third-line position and the fourth-line position.

The U.S. Northern Army maintains about 11 troops on positions north of Chicago, mainly distributed on the third and fourth fronts.

Deployed in accordance with the principle of "light in the front and heavy in the rear", more than 3 troops are reserved in the front three-line positions, and about [-] heavy troops are hoarded in the fourth-line positions. Reinforcement and counterattacks can be launched as needed.

The task of the Northern Legion is to eat up the 11 soldiers in one bite, and lure as many reinforcements as possible in the city to die, so as to reduce the pressure of the subsequent siege battle.

Admiral Chen Chuan looked at the criss-crossing positions in front of him, and ordered calmly; "Let's start the general attack. My headquarters will be moved to Chicago tonight."

"As ordered, sir."

With an order, hundreds of artillery shells roared suddenly, pouring dense rain of shells onto the enemy's position, blowing up smoke and dust, and the stumps and broken arms flew into the sky.

The Tang Kingdom's ferocious artillery fire coverage, every time it was targeted at the densely populated places where the Northern Army's troops were concentrated, in order to achieve the greatest lethal effect and cause serious damage to the defending Northern Army.

But during the 13 days of this bloody battle, except for the more than 80 shells fired in the first day of the general attack, the other artillery battles were sporadic, and stopped after a dozen or 10 minutes.

The main purpose is to damage the enemy's artillery fire and kill the large-scale collection of heavy troops, which is equivalent to reducing the intensity of the northern army's counterattack in disguise, so that the cannon fodder troops can withstand it.

Today's round of artillery battle was different. After the fierce artillery bombardment lasted for an hour, the range began to extend deep into the enemy's depth, covering a larger area of ​​the Northern Army's position.

see this scene
The frontline commander drew out his sharp command knife and ordered loudly; "The whole army goes out..."

Loaded with live ammunition, the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom quickly entered the position, armed with rifles and attacked at a trot speed, spreading like a tide, and soon crossed the 3.5-kilometer-wide wilderness, approaching the third-line position garrisoned by the Northern Army.

The shells "swish" overhead, and the extended shelling lasted for 10 minutes before stopping abruptly.

At this time, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Datang happened to be approaching the Northern Army's position, and immediately rushed up without hesitation, raising their rifles and massacring the remaining American soldiers one-sidedly.

This kind of strict infantry coordination tactics can only be executed well by well-trained troops.

Those white cannon fodder soldiers lay down on the ground in fright when the shells were fired, and huddled in the trenches. They didn't dare to charge against the shells at all, even if they were killed.

However, the third-line positions of the U.S. Army, which were severely hit by artillery fire, were in a mess. Many soldiers were buried in the collapsed trenches, and more people were buzzing from the violent artillery fire. Wandering around the battlefield like a madman.

At this time, the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom rushed forward, shooting randomly at the soldiers of the Northern Army who were still active. After a short but not intense battle, they quickly occupied the position like a tide.

There were more than 3 people on the third-line positions of the U.S. Northern Army. In addition to more than 3700 people who were killed and injured on the spot, hundreds of people were missing (estimated to be buried in the collapsed trenches), and more than 6570 people were killed successively. The remaining nearly 1.86 people died captured.

The soldiers of the attacking Datang Kingdom had only a few hundred casualties, and their rifles fired accurately and ruthlessly, completely suppressing the soldiers of the Northern Army.

In particular, the outflanking tactics cooperate tacitly, and the speed of action is very fast.

It's not that these soldiers of the northern army didn't want to resist, but when they came to their senses, they were surrounded by soldiers from the Tang Kingdom, and they would die if they dared to act rashly.

As long as it is professionally sorted out by the army of the Tang Kingdom, it is equivalent to an additional 1.5 white cannon fodder (all officers and sergeants must be removed, as well as some old fritters and diehards), and then only need to put on a soldier of the Tang Kingdom The gray-blue top can be pushed directly into the battlefield to fight.

As soon as the "Infantry and Artillery Coordinated Tactics" practiced by the Tang Kingdom for a long time appeared, it showed great power on the battlefield, easily occupied the third-line positions that had been repeatedly contested, and captured a large number of enemy troops.

After occupying the third-line positions, the artillery units in the rear were immediately loaded on the carriages and moved forward to move the artillery positions forward, and they were all placed in just over an hour.

Unlike the cannon fodder troops fighting, when the Tang Kingdom's army was attacking at full strength, the artillery troops followed up at any time and provided timely artillery support as needed, and the treatment was completely different.

The attack was led by the 106th Division and the 110th Division. They completed the offensive mission very well. Among them, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju, the commander of the 110th Infantry Regiment of the 7000th Division, made a quick assault and led his subordinates to block more than [-] US troops. In a hilly depression, let them all disarm.

This hilly depression is a garrison ground for the US military's third-line position. Originally, after the artillery bombardment stopped, it was ready to reinforce the front-line position and repel the attack of the coalition forces.

Unexpectedly, just as the U.S. military rushed out of the hiding place, it collided head-on with the rapidly assaulting infantry regiment [-], and then fell down like a leek in a burst of precise and deadly volleys of gunfire, and was forced to retreat.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju immediately commanded his men to occupy the commanding heights of the hills on both sides, and moved several heavy machine guns up, and fired a few rounds of bullets in a demonstrative manner, and the enemy had to raise their hands and surrender.

Being blocked at the door, there is no way to escape. If you don't surrender, do you want to die?

Seeing the long queue of prisoners who were escorted away, looking downcast, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju felt extremely happy. He raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face, and loudly commanded his soldiers to prepare to meet them. The enemy fights back.

"Hurry up, everyone move faster. The Second Company helps the heavy machine gun platoon to reset its position and choose a place with a commanding height and a wide shooting range. Move faster, and the enemy will come up soon."

"Report sir, the enemy's counterattack troops are coming up, about 1800 meters away from our side."

"Order the battalions to prepare for battle."

"As ordered, sir."

With such a delay, the U.S. troops gathered on the 4th front line in the rear had already organized a counterattack like a tide, and the black American soldiers covered the field, maintaining a rough formation amidst the sound of war drums.

At first glance, there are about tens of thousands of people.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju saw that instead of being afraid, he licked his dry lips with his tongue, and his eyes showed a fiery light. This is all a feat of walking!
The officers and soldiers of the 110th Division and 106th Division guarding the front line did not attack, but were loaded with bullets and ready to give the enemy a head-on blow.

6 [-] minutes later

The counterattacking soldiers of the northern army had approached within one kilometer. At this time, the artillery positions behind the army of the Tang Kingdom roared and poured dense shells into the wilderness. debris...

This round of shelling alone caused 3000 casualties of the Northern Army, and they had to retreat back in embarrassment.

The shelling came and went quickly. After 15 minutes, the shelling stopped, and the battlefield returned to calm. Only the strong smell of blood rushed to the ears and nose along with the gunpowder smoke, and there were broken corpses everywhere. is on a brutal battlefield.

Perhaps aware of the unusual offensive from the coalition forces, the US military quickly organized a large-scale counterattack.

They must recapture the third line of defense, otherwise, relying on the thin fourth line of defense without reliable depth, Chicago's northern peripheral positions will not be able to defend anyway.

The loss of the northern outlying positions will cause a domino effect on the western and southern outlying positions, which will be surrounded and annihilated by the coalition forces, thus breaking the entire hard shell of Chicago and introducing the flames of war into the city.

Therefore, the U.S. military has to attack even if it is hard-pressed. If it fails once, it will be twice, and if it fails twice, it will be three times.

It's past three o'clock in the afternoon
The first two attacks organized by the U.S. military were repelled by short and violent artillery fire. They organized a third attack. This time they were not intercepted by artillery fire and successfully approached within 3 yards of the third-line position.

With an order

The army of the Tang Kingdom fired intensive and accurate volleys of guns, which effectively killed the U.S. troops within a range of 700 yards, and then rounds of stable and deadly volleys of guns output, killing and injuring hundreds of U.S. soldiers each time.

However, the U.S. military has only a few British-made Mini rifles and Sharps rifles, which can cause damage to the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom at such a long distance. Due to the extremely limited number, the killing effect is almost negligible.

The U.S. army continued to march more than 150 meters in the wilderness, and finally collapsed after enduring 8-9 rounds of volleys of gun attacks from the Datang Kingdom, and fled to the rear in a swarm.

At this moment

The 106th Division and 110th Division of the Tang Kingdom lined up neatly to attack, and the banners of the 105th Division and 113th Division appeared on both sides of them. The army of more than 4 people was overwhelming, and every 50 meters they advanced He would stop, fire two rounds of guns, and shoot down a large number of U.S. soldiers who were retreating hastily.

And this further exacerbated the panic of the enemy. It was a man who ran all over the mountains and plains, throwing away his armor and armor. Even the commander couldn't stop him, so he could only run for his life with his head in his arms.

The fleeing U.S. troops did not stop at the fourth line of defense. Those officers who tried to stand up and stop them were quickly overwhelmed by deserters shrouded in fear, and the sound of gunfire chasing life from time to time from the rear undoubtedly amplified the sense of fear.

Run away as fast as you can!

When the American deserters crossed the fourth line of defense like a flood and fled towards the city of Chicago, the Datang Kingdom blew the horn of the general attack.

Only the earth trembled, and two cavalrymen brandishing sharp sabers rushed from behind. The spectacular sight of galloping horses caused the soldiers of the kingdom to cheer loudly, and the battlefield was boiling.

The two cavalry rushing out from the rear quickly crossed the friendly army and the 4th line of defense with many obstacles, and then pursued the US deserters in the wilderness. The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing was deafening.

There are still 4 kilometers away from the fourth line of defense of the US military to the city of Chicago. This is a suburban area with many towns and factories, as well as large tracts of farmland and wilderness.

This distance was originally nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops, but the entire northern battlefield was defeated too quickly.

After the Datang Kingdom dispatched 4 field divisions, the soldiers of the Northern Army, who had been subjected to 8 to 9 rounds of unilateral precise and deadly volleys of gunfire, suddenly collapsed.

At a distance of 700 yards, each round of gun strikes would cause 600 casualties of American soldiers.

As the distance between the two sides shortened, the hit rate showed a linear exponential increase.

When the distance between the two sides was shortened to less than 600 yards, after more than 4 soldiers of the Tang Kingdom fired a round of gunfire, the soldiers of the Northern Army in the first two rows fell down like cutting wheat, and the casualties were as high as 3000. It's also scary.

The Yankees are indeed very sacrificing and brave in battle, but that doesn't mean they are willing to fall worthlessly on the way to charge, unable to even touch the enemy's edge.

Enduring the bloody massacre unilaterally will break even the strongest nerves.

When a rout occurs, everything is irreversible.

The army of the Piansheng Datang Kingdom followed closely behind, firing two rounds of guns every 50 meters, falling behind their buttocks like ghosts, which made the fear infinitely magnified.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

Gunshots rang out one after another. Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju led his infantry regiment to occupy the fourth-line positions of the U.S. Army. All companies were completely clearing up the remaining enemies. Gunshots rang out on the front more than 30 kilometers wide. The troops surged up like a tide.

Standing by the side of a warehouse to take a few breaths, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju waved his hands to let the soldiers disperse, and searched for any spoils in this warehouse, and whether there were any remnants of the enemy?
Then he looked up at the end of his vision in the distance. The horses roared away, and the dull gunshots unique to the "Thirteen Rings" carbine kept coming.

Otherwise, it is almost impossible to survive.

The US Northern Defense Corps was defeated too quickly, and the reserve army in Chicago had almost no time for reinforcements, and the 11 troops on the front were swallowed by the Northern Army.

As far as Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju knows;
While breaking through the enemy's northern defense line, the Northern Army formed a fast assault force with the ace 101st Division as the core. It will sweep across the battlefield on the Western Front from north to west, and cooperate with the frontal offensive friendly forces to place the Yankees in the outer positions of the Western Front. About 9 troops on board swallowed it in one gulp.

The faint sound of guns and guns from far away is proof that the army of the Datang Kingdom either does not move, or it is a big scene of thunder and thunderbolts. Tens of thousands of troops joined forces to attack, and in one day the hard shell of the entire Chicago outer front was wiped out. Cracked to reveal a mouth-watering metropolis.
