The sun never sets in America

Chapter 173 Asking for help and the Samurai Order
Behind the battlefield on the Eastern Front, there was an army stretching for several miles, retreating in embarrassment.

This unit was the Maryland Division that had just withdrawn with the Fifth Regiment. The division lost nearly 500 people in the morning, and suddenly dropped from 7000 people at its peak to less than 4000 people. s level.

Not only did they lose men and horses, but they also lost a heavy artillery unit, a total of more than fifty artillery pieces of various types, and a large amount of artillery baggage. This is what makes Brigadier General Lintya and Colonel Nilant feel the most distressed.

Artillery is not as good as infantry. Because the United States has guns, many soldiers are recruited to fight on land. But to train a qualified artillery, it cannot be done in a few months. It may take a year at most. The entire U.S. Army, infantry There are many cannons, but there are only few artillery. One artillery can only be assigned to one artillery. In the end, the baggage can only be used as loader, and the real artillery is responsible for aiming and firing.

The loss of artillery and infantry means nothing more than population and money. The loss of artillery means the loss of time. Time is the most precious thing.

As senior officers of the US military, Brigadier General Lintya and Colonel Niland are very aware of the problems currently facing the US military.

So this is also the main reason why both of them ordered the artillery to be hidden. After all, even if the country is currently developing artillery similar to that of the Han Dynasty, once this thing is built, someone has to use it. If the artillery arrives and the person who fired it is gone, then Not as good as now! !

"Faker..." Brigadier General Lintya was riding on his beloved British purebred horse, looking at the demoralized army at the rear, his face was like a ripe eggplant, extremely ugly.

After the scolding, Linteya felt as if he had eaten shit all day long, feeling as uncomfortable as possible.

Originally, according to Linteya's original vision, this war should be the pinnacle and the most glorious moment of his personal military career.

He even fantasized about whether the medals the White House would give him after the war would be big enough and numerous.

He even imagined that after the war was over, he could invade Xijing, the capital of Han Dynasty, catch the dictatorial Eastern monarch with his own hands, hang him under the big tree in the palace, and finally admire his body slowly rotting. That must be Very happy moment.

But now, he was about to hang himself after being beaten by these Han troops.

In one morning, one-fifth of the manpower was lost, as well as a heavy artillery unit. Brigadier General Lintya could even imagine that his failure would bring shame to the entire American army.

In the end, he himself will become a negative lesson in military textbooks for future reference by American soldiers.

Of course, the strength of the Han army greatly exceeded his expectations. Before the war, due to the lack of real data, the United States' assessment of the Han military had been in a state of uncertainty.

At one moment, he said that the strength of Han was very strong, no worse than that of the European powers. At another, he said that the strength of Han was inferior, because they were fighting Mexicans on the spot, so those achievements did not count.

Objectively speaking, this U.S.-Mexico war actually caused the U.S. military to greatly underestimate the strength of the Han army, because the Mexicans were so bad that the U.S. military performed the so-called miracle of expanding [-] square kilometers of land every day. .

But this also made the US military increase its contempt for the Han army. After all, the Mexican army is like this. So the Han army that defeated Mexico in the past few years will not be much better. It is nothing more than two rookies fighting each other. Pecking, the competition is to see who is the better, and in the end the loser wins...

This also explains why the U.S. military continued to penetrate deep into the Mexican Peninsula regardless of the reaction of the surrounding Han troops. In a word, the Americans no longer took Han seriously at that time. Some American officers even said that Han was nothing more than It's just a large Mexico. It would take two months to destroy Mexico, and four months at most to destroy Han.

He even proposed a so-called June offensive plan, that is, to kill Mexico in the first two months, and then attack Han in the next four months. It only takes six months to quell Mexico and destroy Han. Such a good thing should be reported to Congress. Those who are currently The congressmen who were worried about military spending will no longer worry about it, because as long as they hold on for a few more months, Han will be gone, and all of North America belongs to the United States. Are they still worried about running out of money? ?
Now in the U.S. Congress, a group of U.S. congressional seniors and American newcomers are dreaming of destroying the Han Dynasty. The Americans are even preparing to use the gold mines in Hanzhou Province of the Han Dynasty as collateral to issue national bonds to support this war.

Using the land of another country as a guarantee to fight your own war, I have to say, this is very American and very white.

But these guys who were still dreaming in Washington never imagined that the American Lion they were looking forward to had now become a tired lion.

First, the eastern front was forced to retreat, and the northern front was also in a stalemate. In the central part, facing the iron-clad defense of the Hanzhou Army, it had only advanced 900 meters until now. You must know that the entire city of Monclova covers an area of ​​more than ten square meters. Kilometers in size, coupled with the surrounding defenses, the US military will only be able to capture half of it at most even if it fights until next month, let alone destroy the Han army in the central part.

So much so that Major General Buchanan, who commanded in the central part of the country, no longer had the heroic spirit of 11 people versus 11 people, and was left with endless chills. He knew that with these 5 people alone, he would never be able to defeat the [-] Han troops and [-] Han troops. There were [-] Mexican troops guarding them from behind, so his idea was that he would need to increase his troops, at least [-] more, and be equipped with the latest artillery and rifles. Then he would be sure to wipe out this difficult enemy in one fell swoop. national army.

With three times the strength, there will even be enough left to attack Han! !
So Major General Buchanan wrote in a letter to U.S. President John Tyler:
"Dear Mr. President, I'm sorry to ask you for help in this way. We underestimated the Han people, or the Han Army. They are not an incompetent army as we imagined, which is only slightly higher than the Mexican army. But a lion, a lion full of fangs..." Even when he wrote this, Major General Buchanan was actually very aggrieved, because it meant that he was praising his enemy, but he also He knew that this was the only way he could get reinforcements, because only by exaggerating the threat of the Han army could he get everything he wanted from the idiots in Congress.

Soldiers and weapons! !

"They are well-disciplined and well-armed. They have more Springfield rifles than we do, and they have a higher level of training..."

(The American people call the Han Dynasty’s Lightning Rifle the Little Springfield Rifle, which is quite shameless)
"Their artillery can hit farther than ours. In front of them, our artillery has become scrap metal, so we must have the same artillery as theirs. I heard that the military industrial companies in the rear are developing it. This is good. But this is too slow. We need to be faster and have more artillery to suppress this group of bandits from the Far East!!" (The propaganda against Han in the United States highlights one point, that is, the Han people are not Americans, but from the Far East. people, giving people a feeling of the Far East colonizing America)
"Also, I have to admit that our army has failed. It is impossible to conquer Mexico with the current number of people alone. I need more soldiers and more warriors..."

"Mr. President, only in this way can we, the United States of America, fulfill our desire to unify the Americas. This is the mission God has given us as the United States. It has been destined since the Mayflower!!"

“May God bless the United States of America and bless this great country!!”

Major General Buchanan, commander of the U.S. Army in Mexico, wrote a letter asking for help to U.S. President John Tyler on the afternoon of July 1844, [-].

This is the first time that Major General Buchanan has bowed his head to the country on such an important occasion. You must know that before the war with the Han Dynasty, because of the successive victories in the Mexican Campaign, Buchanan did not know how crazy he had become, and even said After the war, he wants to be the president, so arrogant! !

But now, under the counterattack of the Han army, the presidential dream has been shattered. He has to put down his dignity and go to the domestic bosses to ask for reinforcements. Buchanan feels that he has lost his whole life's face here, in this place called Mongolia. Little place in Croix.

And just after Major General Buchanan wrote his letter for help to President John Taylor under the city of Monclova in the middle, a robbery and massacre was taking place on the Eastern Front! !
.............................................

Although the remaining troops of the Maryland Division were large in number, the morale of the entire unit had completely dropped, almost to the bottom.

It was completely different from their heroic spirit before the war, as if they wanted to swallow up the Han army on the eastern front. They were like a group of bereaved dogs, and they could only flee towards safety on their own.

Especially the several fleeing regiments in the middle were completely demoralized. The team of thousands of people just focused on their way and didn't care about what was happening around them.

until……

boom... boom...

A series of artillery fire suddenly rang out from the middle of the American army. Before they could react, more intensive artillery fire struck.

This Han heavy artillery unit is located on a nearby highland called 404. This highland is suitable as an ideal artillery position because of its high terrain and its ability to overlook the entire mountain range.

This heavy artillery unit was not actually here from the beginning. At the beginning, they were just a backup method in Xu Zhi's plan. They were used to intercept the US military in case the Han army was defeated and retreated. What I didn't expect was that it was indeed used. Intercepting the US military, but the meaning is completely different! !
"Enemy attack, concealment..."

"hidden……"

"quick!!"

The American troops in the central part were like frightened birds. After hearing the sound of artillery, they fled in all directions. They did not have the courage to fear death when they fired against the Han army just now.

The reason is that retreat. The retreat of a unit actually does a lot of damage to morale. Soldiers who were fighting just now will wonder if we really can't defeat them. Cowardly soldiers, even more so. There is a feeling of surviving a disaster, and I am glad I escaped.

Otherwise, why would the armies of various countries modify the word "retreat" and say it means "turn in" or "detour"? This is the art of writing. Unfortunately, the Yankees were too short-lived and fought too few hard battles to understand this truth.As for the Maryland Division troops rushing in the rear, because they were too far apart in the middle, they could actually only hear the sound of artillery.

But this was enough to scare them, and when the American troops in the middle began to squeeze forward and backward, the entire Maryland Division marching team looked like a snake twisted in the middle, which looked awkward.

However, the US troops at both ends feel not awkwardness, but pain. Once there is confusion in the middle, it will cause disconnection and mutual squeeze in the three directions.

At both ends of the entire marching team, American soldiers running from the middle could be seen. The faces of these people showed panic. This situation also infected the American soldiers at both ends. It can be said that the entire Maryland Division was only one step away from a mental breakdown. A hammer blow.

And now, the hammer is coming! !
In a valley in the middle, a group of Han soldiers with short stature, but their faces were shiny, wearing half-armor, but they did not look like Han soldiers, because in the Han army, there were only The cavalry has breastplates, but the infantry does not. This is mainly because the infantry are lined up to be shot. In such tactics, any armor is useless, but it is still a burden.

But this unit under the flag of the Han Kingdom is wearing half-body armor. Although it is thin armor and can at most protect against ordinary swords, it is enough for these [-] mixed regiment soldiers composed of low-level Japanese samurai...

Tread...Tap...

This short Han army appeared on the battlefield with neat and powerful steps, immediately causing the American troops on the opposite side that had almost collapsed due to artillery fire to lose their last hope.

"Raise the gun..."

swoosh...

The person who commanded this warrior unit was Tao Wang, the former commander of the [-]th Regiment. Because Tao Wang had rich command experience, he was transferred to this newly established warrior unit. As the highest officer, he came to command this army, which was the most famous in the history of Han Dynasty. A special army with a lot of color.

"Fire!!" Tao Wang swung, pulled out his saber, pointed forward, and a series of dense and rapid gunshots suddenly rang out. The unprepared U.S. troops on the opposite side were stunned by this sudden blow. .

bang... bang...

In just one minute, this army of warriors had finished firing the fifth row of rifles, which shows their tough fighting style and strict daily training.

The American army on the opposite side had just prepared a military formation that was riddled with holes within one minute. The first row could not even form a complete platoon.

Although the American officers on the opposite side kept stopping the American militiamen who had lost their courage to stop the short-looking group of Han Chinese on the opposite side. (Americans cannot tell what are Han Chinese and what are Japanese, and can only classify them into short Han Chinese and tall Han Chinese)
But an army that has lost morale will no longer be able to win, and it will even be difficult to maintain the front line.

bang bang bang...

As a series of volleys of gunfire were fired, the American army on the opposite side became increasingly unable to hold on.

Finally, as the first deserter left the battlefield, the shooting, which lasted only 10 minutes, ended in a very absurd, yet very reasonable way.

"No, I won't fight, I still want to live..." This young American militiaman from Maryland dropped his Springfield rifle and ran toward the rear.

"No fight, I don't want to fight!!"

"Whoever wants to fight this damn war, I won't fight it!!"

"Fakr...I want to live."

With the first person taking the lead, the militia teams that had finally been organized in the central part were scattered again, and this time they could never recover.

"Faker, cowards, they are all cowards!!" Johnson, who had just taken over the command of the central US military, looked like a fried rooster when he saw the scene in front of him, which made his messy blond hair stand out. It looks like a chicken coop.

But in the end, he had no choice but to abandon these soldiers and run towards the front line alone, because he also wanted to survive.

After the American troops in the middle and the rear were completely squeezed together, Tao Wang, who had been observing the movements on the other side, smiled and immediately issued the order: "All troops attack!!"

"kill……"

"His Majesty the King of Han is carrying..."

"Kill these American monsters!!"

As soon as Fugang finished speaking, the Samurai soldiers in front of him, with their bayonets pointed straight out, entered the already chaotic U.S. military column in the center and rear.

Some soldiers even threw away their rifles, drew their samurai swords, and slashed at the American troops on the opposite side.

Draw……

A human head flew up and then fell, and the samurai who had changed his name to Zhao Feng didn't even look at it. He just took the blood-stained samurai sword and slashed at another American militiaman.

On the entire battlefield, there were many people like him doing this. For a moment, heads were rolling like balls, being kicked around on the ground.

"Baga..." Even though they had changed their names and spoke Mandarin, these samurai still spoke Japanese involuntarily after being killed.

The samurai with a bayonet in front of him had just killed an American militiaman who was a head taller than him. He felt very excited because this was a giant! ! (The height of American soldiers is nearly 1.7 meters. In the United States and China, where the current average is 1.6 meters, they are considered tall. In Japan, they are even more giants.)

"Kill it..."

"His Majesty the King of Han is on board!!"

The entire battlefield was full of scenes of samurai holding bayonets and samurai swords they carried with them, hunting down American militiamen.

There was even a scene where the American militiamen were so frightened by these little men that they peed their pants.

Then the American militiaman who peed his pants was beheaded with a knife.

After the war, among the corpses of thousands of American soldiers, not a single intact corpse was found.

Because their heads have been built into Jingguan by these warriors! !
They even sang and danced excitedly. Even Tao Wang felt very abnormal and had to stop this behavior in advance.

Post-war statistics showed that [-] American troops were wiped out in this battle, [-] were captured, and [-] were killed. The entire Maryland Division had only half of its effective strength left.

You know, this is only the first day! !
