There was thick black smoke from the ship's chimney, and the smell was unpleasant in the cabin, even in the windowed second-class cabin. www.biquge.info The Hessian mercenary group did not complain about this environment, and the head of the mercenary group announced the latest news to the mercenary group, "We are going to New York to train the immigrants over there!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the mercenary group replied almost in unison: "Thank God! ”

To be able to escape from the danger of Huashengton, even if it is a worse means of transportation, is not a problem. All the mercenaries are staring at the sea, hoping to see New York appear in the mercenaries' field of vision as soon as possible. At such times, the ten-man chief showed the essence of the literati's penchant for refinement, "In 1706 and 1707 tens of thousands of Hessian mercenaries served in the Italian legions of Prince Eugen, and in 1714, Sweden fought against Russia." In 1715 George I suppressed the Jacobite rebellion. War of the Austrian Succession of 1744. Before 1762, Hessian mercenaries were present in major wars in Europe......"

Although I don't know what to care about in the bad things of the past era, everyone still listens to the nonsense of the ten-person chief, and it is always happier to have something to relieve boredom in the boredom along the way. "On August 15, 1776, they landed on Staten Island, New York, and fought for the first time at the Battle of Long Island, then in the New York and New Jersey campaigns, in October at the Battle of White Plains, and in November at the Siege of Fort Huashengton. ”

After talking about the glorious history of the Hessian mercenaries, the Ten-Commander raised his head and smiled: "Now we are heading to New York, and I don't know if we will land on Staten Island." But now it's September 15th, and if it's August 15th, it's amazingly consistent with history. ”

Nobody cares about this joke, no matter what the Centurion who has read a lot of books thinks, like William?? Mercenaries like Hesse have a very negative view of war, which is not romantic at all, but a terrifying existence. At this moment, the whistle sounded several times outside, and then a mercenary ran into the cabin where the mercenary group was entrenched and shouted: "It's time to New York!" ”

This voice made the mercenary group happy, and when they arrived in New York, everyone could start the next step of escaping the United States. While this attitude may seem unethical, one of the most basic ideas of the mercenaries is that they will never fight a war that is doomed, unless they can ensure that they will withdraw in the middle of the war. Since the mercenary leaders in Germany don't seem to care about the life and death of the mercenaries, they have a great plan to let the mercenaries participate in the whole war. It becomes logical for the mercenaries to act according to the basic principles of the mercenaries themselves.

The mercenaries went to the deck, as did the other passengers of the ship. Everyone was looking, and the mercenaries were looking at the telescope, so they could see the blurred shadows of many buildings on the shore in the telescope. Now the mercenaries had to sigh, they could actually see the shadows of the buildings at such a distance, and those buildings were not low. Compared to the German city of low-rise buildings, New York City is really magnificent.

The ship moves on, and the mercenaries slowly realize that something is wrong. The buildings looked shadowy, and there seemed to be some other smoke mixed in with the shadowy buildings. Judging from the appearance of the smoke, the mercenaries all felt a threat in this war-torn era.

The passenger ship moved forward for a while, and several ships came in front of it coming from the direction of New York City. The two sides communicated through the flag language, and there was no shortage of soldiers in the Hessian mercenary group who knew the flag language, and they quickly translated the information provided by the opposite ship. 'The Chinese army is besieging New York City'.

The ordinary people on the ship were stupid and didn't know what was going on, and the mercenary group members quickly returned to their cabins under the orders of the leader, and the leader called several captains together and spoke for a while, and the captains came out to gather their men to assign tasks. William?? Hesse heard his captain say, "We stormed the captain's room and seized control of the ship." ”

"Where are you going?" The ten-captain asked what was on everyone's minds.

"To Canada. We will not stay in the United States and die. The captain replied decisively.

The plan to seize the ship was carried out exceptionally smoothly, and the captain and crew did not put up the slightest resistance in the face of this purely violent action. When the mercenary group told the crew that the purpose of seizing the ship was not to loot, let alone kill, but to sail the ship to Canada. The captain and crew immediately cooperated. Seeing that the people on the ship were so cooperative, the mercenary group only left people to guard a few key positions, giving the captain and crew plenty of room to operate.

As the ship continued to move north, the mercenary lookouts felt that the smoke in New York City in the distance seemed to be a little heavier. William who was assigned to the deck?? Hesse didn't care, he just wanted to get out of North America, which he hated. It doesn't matter who wins in the end.

The news of the siege of New York spread quickly, at least in the upper echelons of the various corps, and this information had to be communicated. In the Sixth Corps where Qi Rui served, the upper echelons wanted to know who the person in charge of motorization of the Fifth Corps was. Qi Rui replied: "The Fifth Corps was assigned to Ma Xiaoming, and he used his troops very fiercely. ”

"I think the Fourth Corps is also very fierce, they just dare to ignore the logistics line, and rush forward with all their might." Corps Commander Zhou Xinhua sighed.

Qi Rui felt that this made him feel uncomfortable. As the chief of staff of the 24th Army, who fought in the Great Lakes region, Qi Rui was well aware of the advantages of motorized infantry fighting in the plains. The Fourth Corps relied on the Mississippi River and the railroad along it, and they only needed to protect it. The Fifth Corps advanced along the Erie Canal, with very limited mountainous areas to traverse. Qi Rui's Sixth Corps first had to pass through thousands of kilometers of mountainous areas. The Rocky Mountains are very vast areas, with an average elevation of around 2,000 meters. It's super difficult to march and fight in such an area and protect fragile transport lines.

So Qi Rui asked, "Do you want the comrades to rush forward regardless of our strength?" Anyway, we are already on the side of Texas, and if we really want to rush to the plains, it is only a distance of 200 kilometers. ”

Listening to Qi Rui's somewhat emotional words, the army commander Zhou Xinhua smiled: "It's not necessary. Thousands of kilometers have come like this, who cares about such two hundred kilometers. ”

Qi Rui knew that he shouldn't be angry, and the political commissar wanted to do ideological work for others. If the commissar himself stirs up emotions first, it will be a big joke. But even though he knew this, Qi Rui still couldn't calm down his emotions. The triumphant advance of the Fourth Corps and the Fifth Corps is exactly the combat mode discussed by the personnel of the 24th Corps before they were divided up among the various units.

The United States is a vast and sparsely populated land, and long-distance transportation can be said to be completely dependent on trains. Motorized infantry have a great advantage in short- and medium-distance operations. This opens up the possibility of long-distance assault tactics. After determining the basic battle idea, the comrades went their separate ways, and Qi Rui was assigned to the area west of the Rocky Mountains. I heard that the former comrades-in-arms made full use of the tactics that everyone had discussed before and made great contributions. Qi Rui was naturally happy for them, and he also felt a considerable degree of jealousy.

Corps Commander Zhou Xinhua did not continue the topic he provoked, and he turned the topic back to the real problems faced by the Sixth Corps. "We've put a lot of effort into the base of a lot of stockpiling along the mountain routes, and the supplies from the West Coast can be safe. The question now is to continue to clean the area and make the traffic lines safer. The Governor has warned us that the people of Texas are fierce, and in the United States they are known as the Mad Dog State. Everyone has to brace themselves and fight the dogs with all their might. Now that we have entered the hilly terrain at an altitude of 200 to 500 meters, our motorized infantry can make a difference. I don't know what Political Commissar Qi Rui thinks? ”

Qi Rui was not surprised by this sudden statement, there were many accidents before, and he was used to it now. Zhou Xinhua asked, and he said: "Although we didn't fight a lot along the way, we fought a lot. Now that the training of the troops has been completed, the next step is to fight in an all-out manner. My opinion is that once you have mastered a lot of the skills of the motorized infantry, you should put this technology into perspective. Motorized infantry tactics are to give wings to the tiger, not to the tiger itself. Our Liberation Army is invincible because we are braver, more loyal, and more determined than the enemy. For the next war, what we need to do is to make full use of the technology we have at our disposal to win. Rather than being framed by these techniques, the result is timid. The victory of the Fourth Corps and the Fifth Corps was that they made full use of the existing conditions of war and accomplished their campaign objectives. The same is true for what we are going to do. I hope that comrades will fully understand this. ”

Originally, Qi Rui listened to his father Wei Ze to reason, and at that time, Qi Rui always felt that the person who could point out the direction to others was so strong and firm. Now that it was Qi Rui's turn to reason with others, he found that not only was he not firm in his heart, but he was a little uneasy. It's easier said than done, and even if these principles are completely true, it is better not to say them if they are not effectively implemented.

After Qi Rui finished talking about these key points that he thought, the comrades' reactions were not intense. Everyone just looked at him thoughtfully. Qi Rui felt that he was a failure, he wanted to continue to say something like a tiger, but he lost his sharpness in front of him, and Qi Rui couldn't say it at all.

Then Zhou Xinhua came out to relieve the siege, he said: "I think the political commissar has taught everyone everything that can be taught, is there anyone else who has problems in this regard?" ”

None of the commanders of the Corps Headquarters raised different opinions, but Qi Rui's efforts were indeed very effective, and the training and courses that should have been implemented were quite effective. Seeing that everyone agreed that the preliminary preparations had been completed, Zhou Xinhua continued with a relaxed smile: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it." In front of you is the Mad Dog State, comrades pick up the dog beating stick, get on! ”
