Chapter 56: The First Army

The Yugoslav army had more veterans -- thanks to the fact that the United States had seized land for plantation and Mexico in the past few years, and later generations had discovered large oil fields on this land, which was a surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this era, there was no traditional concept of territory, but the standard belief in the law of bandits in which the territory was within the firing range of the cannon, and even the modern international standard for the division of territorial waters was the range of large-caliber coastal defense artillery.

Now that the Southern Army has more and better artillery and guns, it is hellish that the Northern Army's offensive can go smoothly. In one day, the Northern Army launched three charges against the positions of the Southern Army, and these attacks, in addition to leaving thousands of corpses on both banks of the Boer River, brought an equal number of wounded to the Northern Army.

The Northern Army, which originally had nearly 30,000 people, suffered more than 8,000 casualties a day, completely losing its offensive capability. On the other hand, the Southern Army relied on a solid stone wall to rely on, and never let the Northern Army rush to the distance of the bayonet, and the shooting was also because of the chest-high stone wall.

In this era of offensive current, the Southern Army was not exempt from vulgarity, and when the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties and demoralized, more than 20,000 Southern troops on the front and 10,000 Southern troops on each flank launched a counter-charge against the Northern Army on the other side of the Boer River under the cover of artillery.

The Northern Army, with nearly one-third of the casualties, was unable to fight again, leaving behind a broken rear force of more than 6,000 people, and most of the Northern Army began to retreat. After the troops were surrounded by all the ammunition, the remaining 4,000 people simply chose to surrender, collectively laid down their arms and entered the prisoner of war camp of the Southern Army.

When Washington received news of the defeat at the front, Lincoln had to recruit again, this time 60,000 men to fight for 90 days—at a time when the Northern Army was still naïve enough to believe that it was possible to end the fighting in three months.

It was also during this great victory of the Southern Army that hundreds of thousands of volunteers set sail in Hawaii as the first batch of volunteers to conquer the United States.

Among them, the first army, the Yizi Banner, was an old-style hand-to-hand combat team composed entirely of former Japanese samurai. The composition of the First Army was the essence of the old Japanese samurai, but they were of little use to today's Japan, so they had to come to the United States to exert their residual heat.

The commander of the First Army, Isamu Kondo, and the deputy commander Toshizo Hijikata. Chief of Staff Yoshida Shoin.

The subordinate commander of the first division, Okita General Division, and the deputy division commander Sakamoto Ryoma.

The commander of the second division, Shinhachi Nagakura, and the deputy division commander, Shinsaku Takasugi.

3rd Division Commander Saito Ichi, Deputy Division Commander Kido Takayoshi (Katsura Kogoro)

The commander of the 4th Division, Tadashi Matsubara, and the deputy division commander, Takamori Saigo.

The commander of the 5th Division, Takeda Kanyanagisai, and the deputy division, Okubo Ritsu.

The commander of the 6th Division, Genzaburo Inoue, and the deputy division commander, Hirobumi Ito.

The seventh division commander Gu Sanshiro, and the deputy division commander Yama Prefecture Youpeng.

The commander of the 8th Division, Heisuke Fujido, and the deputy division commander, Hanjiro Nakamura.

The commander of the 9th Division, Saburo Suzuki, and the deputy commander Kiyotaka Kuroda.

The commander of the 10th Division, Sanosuke Harada, and the deputy division, Masajiro Omura.

Basically, the main position is awarded to the characters in the original history of the Shinsengumi.,The deputy position is still the ghost of the Shinsengumi.。 Together with the chief of staff and all the deputy divisional ranks, they are all heroes of the Restoration in the original history.

The military regulations of the First Army of this time and space were also formulated by the deputy commander Toyozo Hijikata, and they were also simple and straightforward for samurai who did not read much:

1. Do not violate bushido.

1. Do not leave the First Army without authorization.

First, do not give or accept bribes.

First, don't slack off in training.

First, don't fight privately for no reason.

Those who violate the above regulations in the army will be punished with seppuku. Because the five are as important, they are all marked one.

Song Haiping still attaches great importance to the First Army, and the level of bayonet fighting of American soldiers has always been poor, which is similar to that of the Opium War in the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, although artillery was king, artillery and artillery could not cover the whole field. In the First Opium War, the British army attacked the Humen Fort, the Qing army used outdated old artillery and British flowering shells to shoot at each other for several hours, although they suffered heavy casualties, but still held the fort.

The British sent a landing force to shoot at close range, broke up the formation of the Qing army, and then rushed forward to fight bayonets -- at this time, under the blows of artillery and platoon guns, the Qing army's numbers and morale were already very low, and the final bayonet battle was scattered by the British army.

The British army in World War II had dominated the world for hundreds of years, and the officers and men of the unit had lost the courage to fight bayonets, so they fled and surrendered under the bayonets of the Japanese. The U.S. military also experienced a similar experience, and later the Americans' solution was that bayonets could not be used to supplement firepower, and a large number of troops were equipped with submachine guns, plus everyone in the American military had pistols, which broke the Japanese bayonet warfare.

Because fighting bayonets not only requires great courage and training, but the casualties of the two most elite troops fighting bayonets are often about one to one, and the United States, which is only 20 million young and strong at that time, could not fight bayonets.

If the United States and Japan did not cooperate in the later stage of World War II, it would be a lose-lose situation, and the power of the atomic bomb at that time was just like that, just look at the Hiroshima Shrine in Hiroshima to know how powerful a nuclear bomb can still exist under the wooden buildings of hundreds of years ago.

The real threat to Japan was the thousands of bombers and a large number of combat aircraft deployed on the islands around Japan in the latter part of World War II, when an endless back-to-earth assault awaited the Americans if they landed. Therefore, the Americans told the Japanese top brass that if they did not surrender to the United States, American bombers would bomb the cities first, then the countryside, and then the farmland. Let Japan have no harvest, and the people will starve to death.

In the end, Japan decided to surrender after paying the protection fee (most of the wealth stolen from Asia) and ensuring that the imperial family and the zaibatsu would not be judged, just before the Japanese harvest.

In the previous life, Japan made the knives of the British and Americans, and in this life, Song Haiping and Lin Haiyang naturally chose to let the Japanese make their own knives.

In the Japanese restaurant of the passenger ship, Song Haiping and the top leaders of the First Army gathered together, and after drinking a glass of wine, Song Haiping said: "When you come to the United States, you can go and see what the local Indians, that is, the former masters of the United States, are like. If we do not unite today, do not work hard, and do not strive to be strong, the fate of the Indians today will be the fate of the Asians in the future, and no one will be able to escape, and the regime represented by the Northern Army of the United States is the regime that bombarded the Japanese country. The future of Asia, and even the yellow race, is in the hands of the kings. ”

Isamu Kondo: "Don't worry, my first army will definitely live up to this word and set an example for the whole army." ”

"Hey."
