The sun never sets in America

Chapter 399: Southern War: US Army Conspiracy

Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, is the largest city in the region, has the best education, and has the largest population in the state.

Locally, Stone City is a city that symbolizes Arkansas culture and even the soul, but now, Arkansas is an out-and-out "furnace" and a purgatory on earth.

"Continue to attack, don't stop, don't give the Yankees a chance to breathe!!"

“Second Battalion Commander, where is your fucking howitzer??”

The regiment leader Wu Feng wore a large-brimmed hat tilted down and held a pipe in his mouth. He put his hands on his hips and opened his coat, revealing the white shirt underneath and his slightly bulging belly.

He looks no different from a middle-aged man. The only difference is that this slightly "rough"-looking middle-aged man has three thousand soldiers and dozens of cannons.

"Damn it, can you guys push the cannon harder? It's so slow, like a pig--"

"hurry up!!"

Wu Feng's temper is like this. Once a war breaks out, he basically loses control. It is also for this reason that he is still a regiment commander until now, and his contemporaries have become division commanders.

In the end, the commander failed to give the command and was knocked to the ground by a sudden stray bullet. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, but his face didn't look good.

After the Han Lieutenant finished speaking, there was a burst of "laughing" from around him, which could even be said to be a complete "humiliation".

The lieutenant took the rifle from the soldier's hand, stabbed the major's thigh with his bayonet, and even deliberately turned it around, causing the major who had just been shouting "Jehovah" to faint from the pain.

This is war, the essence of war, as Dong Ziqin said: "The essence of war is to compare who is more barbaric and how much price you are willing to pay for this barbarism!!"

"Click, click-"

"roll--"

These are all contemptuous names used by the Han army for their enemies during the long war.

"what!!"

"You, you bastards, you will be punished by God-"

"Very good, tell Li Shun to continue the bombardment. Just keep hitting like this. Don't stop. I won't believe it. If we hit like this, the turtle shells of these guys will still be there!!"

"You guys can, ah!!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

In fact, there are many insulting words about Han in the US military, such as "thief", "Pacific rat", "incompetent yellow-skinned monkey", and the most common "Han dog".

As a regiment-level combat unit with enhanced firepower from the rear, the 25th Regiment has the largest firepower in the entire right army, second only to the Guards Regiment.

"Click, click, click." When a machine gun is set up at position 15, it means that the surviving American troops inside no longer have the possibility or capital to resist.

When the entire artillery position was filled with the sound of loading ammunition, artillery battalion commander Li Shun, the "second battalion commander" just mentioned by Wu Feng, shouted directly:

The most important one is the character issue! !
Boom boom! !
When the howitzers flew out of the barrel, Wu Feng, who had been observing from behind, almost jumped up from the ground. When the artillery fire covered the area that had just stopped them, causing more than a hundred casualties to their regiment. In the position, Wu Feng was in a state of excitement. In such an excited situation, he did not forget to shout: "The infantry will follow, and the artillery will advance five meters -"

"Fire at full speed, target, position No. 15!!"

The main reason why the distance is five meters is to suppress possible counterattack firepower from the opposite side as much as possible.

When a dozen dejected American soldiers emerge from underground bunkers, what awaits them is often a few gun butts and countless ridicules.

On the battlefield, with the continuous output of large-caliber artillery fire, the location of Position No. 15 was also changing rapidly.

When Wu Feng was talking, the big-brimmed hat on his head was even more crooked, and his whole face was black and white. Just now, he refused to listen to the guards' advice and insisted on going to the front line for inspection. He euphemistically called it "Look at the other side." "Sun Tzu" is actually addicted to the military and wants to take command personally.

"The Han army is invincible——"

"Major, don't say you are a major, even Lincoln, I will still hit him and spit on him -"

For these people, Wu Feng directly said:
"I am a real general, not a little lady. Do I have to put on powder, lips, and perfume before the battle??"

When I came back, some of my subordinates suggested that I wash myself off so that I could show off my "style" as a group leader.

Before this guy wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform and a meticulously trimmed beard could continue to yell and curse, what was waiting for him was black military boots falling from the sky.

When the artillery fire just stopped, the soldiers who were still lying on the ground rose up like they were resurrected in a game. There were figures holding rifles and throwing grenades everywhere.

"The muzzle distance has been shortened, the target is the enemy position No. 15 just now -"

Boom boom boom! ! !
If the artillery fire just before the infantry came on stage was a slight test, then when our own soldiers dispersed, it was a real full-scale firepower.

"Get out, get out quickly!!"

This distance is neither short nor long, just within the range that artillery fire can shock. If it exceeds this distance, the so-called "infantry and artillery coordination" will be ineffective, and may even cause greater casualties under the counterattack from the opposite side.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters.

When the gunfire rang out, the entire attacking team uttered slightly panicked words such as "lie down," "disperse," and "request for support."

"Ah", when he trampled the so-called major under his feet and kept howling, the lieutenant of the Han army who trampled him spitted thick phlegm directly on his head. After spitting, he said in a sarcastic tone:

When the 240mm artillery shells hit the U.S. military position opposite, they felt for the first time what a "fist" was and what "pressure" was. If the 75mm just now was a handshake, then that Four 240mm artillery pieces simply broke off the opponent's hand.

When the position was occupied, the American soldiers hiding in the underground positions became the targets of the Han army's teasing. There were many insulting words mixed in, and even some unique titles, such as "American Golden Retriever". American Pig” “Big Nose”.

"attack!!"

Boom boom boom! ! !
The soldiers stepped on the artillery point, bent their waists, carried their long guns with snow-white bayonets, and trotted towards the opposite position step by step.

"Farke, I am a major, you can't treat me like this, Farke -"

"Come on, you dog—"

"Stab", the bayonet brought out a column of blood as soon as it was pulled out, while the major on the ground had his eyes closed tightly and looked like he wouldn't wake up for a long time.

"Hmph, what the hell, you're qualified to pretend to be a master here, and you don't care about the situation."

"What kind of God is this? How many divisions does God have?"

The lieutenant looked down upon this "coward" from the bottom of his heart.

Hiding in the underground trenches, watching his soldiers die one by one, and finally being killed, and then pretending to be "heroes" here.

This kind of person is a typical "beast". What did he do when he was just fighting? If he doesn't have the guts to die for his country, forget it. Now he is still here acting as a hero, and he doesn't feel ashamed! !

"Lock him up and don't let him die. This guy is holding his position. He's got the upper hand. There must be something we want in his belly."

"If you die, you are worthless!!"

Although the lieutenant acted rudely and even a little brutally, he was still calm in the end. He knew who should be killed and who should not be killed. When he first picked up the bayonet, he did not think about killing him. Even when he stabbed his leg, he was calm. It was only given a few centimeters. Who would have thought that this guy was so cowardly, he was scared to death.

"What was the name of that person just now, the little guy playing with the bayonet??"

Wu Feng, who had been observing from behind, suddenly turned around and asked his deputy about the lieutenant's origins.

"That guy's name is Mu Yun, and he is the captain of the seventh team. You praised him last time, saying that he has good marksmanship and is a good prospect!!"

Deputy Han Wenyun explained.

"It turns out to be that boy. I wonder why he has such a good temper!!"

Wu Feng thought of the kid who asked him for a cigarette, and a smile he had never seen before appeared on his face.

This is an attitude of appreciation, because this boy named Mu Yun is very similar to his character. Although he looked ferocious just now, there are subtleties in his roughness, but Wu Feng can see it. Fierceness is from the outside, and barbarism is also from the outside. Only a "seven orifices heart" can control such a powerful army.

Wu Feng often said that his 25th Regiment is different from others, and the least important thing among them is the "soul". The soul of his 25th Regiment can be arrogant or barbaric, but it is not low-key. Yes, not cowardly.

"Call this guy over in a minute, I'll go with him. This guy is a talent, he can be used!!"

A word from Wu Feng was no less than a promotion to Mu Yun, who was still dealing with prisoners of war.

Mu Yun, who was on the battlefield, was still engaging in what he called "intimidation". It was only after he had frightened the soldiers into silence that he received the order to "drink tea."

.............................................

"Everyone, our army has basically taken over most of Arkansas. Even in those ravines, there are only a few defeated soldiers left to resist."

"Currently, the only place left that has not been taken is Little Rock."

"According to the intelligence collected by our army a week ago and in the past few days, the US military has gathered more than 200,000 troops in Little Rock. It is by no means the so-called 100,000 or 120,000, but 240,000. , probably even more than 250,000!!"

Yuan Qing, Chief of Staff of the Right Route Army, has never believed much in the so-called "intelligence". He simply does not believe in intelligence that has been modified. After all, intelligence can be true or false, and no one can guarantee that the information they receive is complete. Fidelity.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, it seems that these Americans really want to make a big deal with us in Little Rock!!"

Dong Ziqin's expression looks very serious, but in fact, people who are familiar with him know that when he is really nervous about something, he always says it with a smile.

It is said that it can relieve psychological stress.

"There is only one possibility for the U.S. military to invest so many troops in a place like Little Rock. That is that their rear is becoming increasingly empty, and they can no longer let us take another step!!"

Yuan Qing always looks at things differently from others. When others see an army of 250,000, they will only feel that there is a conspiracy. Only he feels that this is a "bluff".

"You mean, the troops in the rear are no longer available?"

Dong Ziqin frowned and asked, knowing that there were still 900,000 yuan some time ago, how could it be possible to just say no? ?

"No, and to be precise, it is already difficult for the army behind them to assemble!!"

There was a kind of "persistence" in Yuan Qing's eyes. He was convinced that the US military in the south must have had problems with its defenses.

"Nine hundred thousand troops, even one million troops, spread out over the plains and mountains in the south, how many people can be gathered?"

"It is impossible for them to concentrate hundreds of thousands of troops in one place like before. When the war reaches a dead end, holding on to the key points and convincing the enemy that you are okay and can continue to fight is the best solution... …”

Yuan Qing picked up the baton on the sand table, pointed to the location of Little Rock, and then said: "For the US military, Arkansas is located in the south and is surrounded by several states. It can be said to be a strategically important place. Although this state is not big, But there is another mystery..."

"If I were the U.S. military and held Arkansas, I could recover Oklahoma if I advanced. If I retreated, I could block our army's advance. If I took a step further, I could even command Youzhou and invade the Atlantic Ocean. It can be said to be a place in the middle of a battle!!"

The baton in Yuan Qing's hand kept "flying", and finally fell to the neighboring state of Louisiana:

"Louisiana is below Youzhou. It seems to be a neighbor, but in fact it is heartbreaking. If I am not wrong, the reason why the US military has accumulated so many troops in a small city of Little Rock is definitely not to protect Arkansas alone, which has lost most of its land... "

"The so-called sword dance in Xiangzhuang is meant for Pei Gong."

Yuan Qing's eyes became sharper and sharper, and the baton in his hand kept changing its position, and finally it was inserted directly into the place where Youzhou was.

"In this war, our army mainly attacks and the United States mainly defends. It can be seen from previous wars that our army's advantage lies in offense, but not necessarily in defense. Let me ask, if Commander Dong, you are the commander-in-chief of the US military, what should you do? how??"

Yuan Qing kicked the topic to Dong Ziqin, who was still thinking.

Dong Ziqin touched his short beard that had been trimmed yesterday, his eyes changed slightly, and then he said:
"Attack their unpreparedness and poke their weak spots!!"

"Attacking Youzhou is their best opportunity!!"

After Dong Ziqin finished speaking, his whole temperament changed, becoming deeper and deeper.

He looks very different from his original amiable appearance. He looks more like a commander in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops than the young boy who was famous for "cheating the city" in the past.

"Commander Dong Mingjian, if I were the commander-in-chief of the US military, the best way at this time would be to exchange a small Rock City that is about to be lost and a precarious Arkansas for a good opportunity to attack Youzhou, or even capture Youzhou..."

“What a great deal!!”

Yuan Qing's tone sounded very "refreshing". Obviously, only this kind of top-notch intelligence showdown could make him feel happy.

He even had a dark thought in his mind, that is, to sit back and watch the US military attack Youzhou, hold back the army, and finally use his plan to take the rear of Nanfang State, attack Huanglong, and determine the overall situation in one fell swoop! !
Of course, he even thought about this idea but did not dare to say it out loud. If he really did it, if those civil servants knew about it, he would be slapped with the label of "ignoring human life", "abandoning the land and the people" and "unscrupulous". on the head.

Those civil servants usually have little ability, but at this time, they are very good at "finding jobs".

Even because of public opinion, the Army is unlikely to protect him. In the end, losing his success and retiring to old age is the best end for him.

After all, who asked him to let the enemy plunder the "sacred land" of the Han Dynasty! !

In the eyes of those "Han Emperor Factions", every inch of the territory of the Han Empire was inviolable. Since the establishment of the Han Kingdom, we, the Han Dynasty, have always crossed the territory into the enemy's territory. How has it ever happened that other countries have invaded the territory? ?

"Face" has become the biggest shackles of the Han Empire now and even in the future! !
This yoke does not come from anyone else, but from Han itself.

To be more precise, the strength of the Han Dynasty in recent years has made some people gradually realize the so-called "responsibility" and the so-called "destiny".

"Yuan Qing, since the US military wants to use Little Rock City as a bet, build plank roads openly and secretly attack Chen Cang, do you think how our army should respond??"

Dong Ziqin said habitually, "Yuan Qing, what do you think?"

Yuan Qing took a sip of the coffee sent by the guard. The reason why it was coffee instead of tea was because Yuan Qing was different from many people. He didn't like tea, but he only had a soft spot for coffee.

"Commander Dong, using beauty with darkness and supplementing it with light, intends to use the 250,000 troops in Shicheng to attract our army's firepower resources, assemble the army in the rear, cross Louisiana, attack Youzhou, and even attack Longcheng Port. Even the idea of ​​​​the Atlantic Fleet..."

"If our army wants to defeat the enemy, we can only combine positive and negative forces."

"The so-called art of war is nothing more than using the strong to bully the weak..."

“In my opinion, it’s better to let Youzhou go, let them in, close the door and beat the dogs!!”

As soon as Yuan Qing finished speaking, shouts of "No" and "Dong Shuai think twice" rang out from around him.

Obviously, Yuan Qing’s opinion just now touched some people’s bottom line, or their “self-esteem.”

Dong Ziqin listened to the shouts around him, took a deep look at Yuan Qing opposite who was at the cusp of the storm, and then spoke:
"Yuan Qing, it's easy to put it in, but it's hard to close it..."

"If it can be opened, it can be closed!!"

"The dog cage is opened and the dog comes out. Doesn't the dog go in??"

Yuan Qing's words directly blocked everything Dong Ziqin wanted to say.

"Yuan Qing, you have to know that there are some things that are not decided by you and me, not even our Right Army Army..."

"You must know that state affairs are not something that you and I, as soldiers, can participate in!!"

Yuan Qing understood what Dong Ziqin said, so he answered directly:

"This is a time of war. War is equal to the country. If there is no victory in the war, there will be no victory for the country."

"Yuanqing is willing to take risks!!"

Looking at Yuan Qing's stubborn eyes and the "persuasion" around him, Dong Ziqin finally gritted his teeth and said: "I will report to His Majesty and the cabinet. We can't make the decision on this matter!!"

Opposite him, Yuan Qing smiled, very happily! !
