Sherman looked at his old rival with admiration, nodded and said, "Yes, let's retreat two or three kilometers to make a gesture and create an opportunity for the troops on both wings to detour!" ”

Sherman and John. It took a lot of effort for Gordon to take the Mi army out of three kilometers and stabilize his position. ◎，

"Mi Junguo is acting, then Lao Tzu will play with them!" Lin Zhichuang clearly saw the actions of the Mi army with a telescope in his hand, and then looked at the enemy's movement information sent back by the high-altitude airship, and soon understood the Mi army's intentions, and couldn't help laughing.

When Sherman received the news of the defeat of the Mi Army on the north side of Philadelphia at his headquarters, he immediately flew into a rage and ordered the whole army to launch a fierce attack on the frontal positions in Philadelphia.

The real test of the Chinese army in the frontal position in Philadelphia has finally come.

The 300,000-meter army was attacking like a tide, and due to the huge comparative disadvantage of troops, with Lin Zhichuang's bravery, he had to command the troops to rely on the preset positions to resist and retreat step by step.

When Lin Zhichuang was scratching his head, a telegraph operator ran to report with a telegram in his hand: "Report, Commander-in-Chief Ouyang has called, saying that our main force and naval warships are fighting fiercely against the enemy on the south side, and orders us to drag the main force of the Mi Army before tonight, no matter what, and not let it enter Philadelphia!" ”

"Looks like we're going to use our killer weapon!" Lin Zhichuang gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and ordered: "It's time to use our explosives!" ”

The Huaxia army on the front suddenly let go of its position, seemed to have given up resistance, and retreated without firing.

The Mi army swarmed along the breach, but in just twenty or thirty minutes, the 30,000 or 40,000 Mi army was covered with the positions abandoned by the Huaxia army.

"Detonation. Damn! ”

Lin Zhichuang personally grabbed the electric fire rod. Press down hard. An invisible arc of electricity shot through the wires into the ground of tens of thousands of meters of troops.

On the land where the Mi army stood, a large area of gunpowder smoke and flames suddenly rose, drowning the Mi army crowd, throwing countless human body fragments into the air, and a loud bang resounded in the sky, boom, boom, boom......

"This yellow-skinned monkey is really cunning, we fell for the ...... of these yellow-skinned monkeys," Sherman shouted, feeling his chest tighten. It was as if someone had been hit the chest with a hammer, and his feet were unstable, and the nurse next to him didn't have time to reach out to hold his hand, and fell to the ground.

When the people from the command gathered around, they found that Sherman could no longer stand up.

The final fatal blow to Sherman was the constant sending of reports of losses from the front-line troops:

"The 9th Infantry Regiment lost all ...... in the explosion"

"The 3rd Cavalry Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the explosion, and none of the officers from the regiment commander down survived......"

"The Second Division of the Army lost most of ......"

In the unfavorable situation, the young staff officers of the Mi army were very conscientious and responsible, and almost at the same time as the reports of the various departments, the number of losses of each department was counted in real time:

"Report, this time the big bang. Our army lost at least nineteen thousand people! ”

"Ahh Come and save Milek, O God, who is in many troubles. Sherman yelled helplessly. He tilted his head and lost consciousness.

"It's not good, General Sherman fainted, hurry up and let the doctor come to the rescue!"

When the headquarters of the Mi army was in chaos, Lin Zhichuang ordered the Huaxia army to launch a counterattack on the Mi army's position, and the Mi army was forced to withdraw more than a kilometer.

In the headquarters of the rice army, the gray-haired John. Lieutenant General Gordon knew that after Sherman fell into a coma, he had to assume the heavy responsibility of command, so he ordered the Mi army not to retreat and to continue to maintain an offensive posture.

More than 7,000 Chinese troops played a game of hide and seek with the 300,000-meter army on the frontal battlefield in Philadelphia, just as the two sides were pulling at the frontal position in Philadelphia.

More than 80 kilometers north of Philadelphia, the 100,000-meter army suddenly moved south, swooping down on the railroad and road connecting Philadelphia and New York.

Ouyang Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Army Headquarters, received the information and sneered: "The Mi Army has really been dispatched, let's do it as planned!" ”

With this order, countless shells suddenly smashed into the team of the Mi army marching rapidly, and there were also black-pressed airships in the air that threw bombs at the dense Mi army.

Although the number of this rice army is 100,000 people, which is more than the army of the Huaxia Army in the United States, almost all of them are new recruits, and most of the officers and soldiers below the colonel level have not undergone actual combat training.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army have all been trained in actual combat, and in the successive victories against the Netherlands and Spain, they have accumulated a psychological advantage over the Caucasian foreigners, and they have been very experienced in fighting from the very beginning of the battle, whether it is an artillery battle or a gun battle, they can almost beat three or even five rice troops at a time.

The most troublesome thing for the Mi army is the morale of the recruits, which completely collapsed not long after the battle began, and the Huaxia army seized the opportunity to quickly launch an overwhelming offensive, and in just a few hours it defeated the 100,000-meter army, and when it was dark, the 100,000-meter army was scattered.

The Huaxia army launched a pursuit, and returned late at night, killing more than 30,000 people and capturing more than 20,000 people.

After paralyzing the troops on the north side of the Mi Army, the main force of the Huaxia Army was already very tired.

However, at this time, in order to cooperate with the attack from the north, the Mi army was launching a fierce attack in the east and south, and the position of the Huaxia army was precarious.

In particular, the Huaxia Army position in the west was on the offensive under the command of two veterans, Sherman and John Gordon.

In charge of commanding the garrison of the positions west of Philadelphia was Senior Colonel Lin Zhichuang, and Ouyang Yu gave him this task considering his combat experience in Batavia.

Lin Zhichuang used the preset positions, fortifications, trenches, and bunkers to deal with the 300,000-meter army, making it difficult for the Mi army to move an inch.

But the Mi army, which had made a detour to the south, was well advanced, and seemed to be unstoppable, and suddenly crossed the north side of the Delaware Peninsula, and entered the southeast side of Philadelphia overnight.

"Get on the train and immediately rush to annihilate the 100,000-meter army in the south!"

It turned out that in order to deal with Sherman's roundabout outflanking battle plan, the Huaxia Army had already prepared thirty trains.

In addition to leaving a small number of troops in the north to be responsible for guarding, the main force of more than 60,000 soldiers boarded 30 trains and quickly moved south at the fastest train speed of 50 kilometers per hour at this time.

Because the Mi army in the south was in motion, the cable telegraph could not keep up for a while, and they did not know that the Mi army in the north had been crippled, and at this time they were still marching all the way, and under the control of the optimistic atmosphere, many officers of the Mi army ordered their subordinate units to rush forward in order to seize the merits, and gradually, many troops left behind the heavy weapons such as artillery and heavy machine guns.

The train that the Huaxia Army was riding suddenly appeared in the darkness, startling the new recruits of the Mi Army. (To be continued.) )u
