Chapter 316 Seven Inches of the Federal Railroad Rail Transportation Line

Fujian! Zhangzhou City!

"Sanniang, do we really have nothing else to talk about?"

"King Zhong! The meaning of our New People's Army is very clear, either you will all be merged with us, and you will accept the adaptation unconditionally; Either give you half a year to prepare, and then send you to other countries to gain a foothold, the globe has also been shown to you, and the general trend of the world has also been mentioned to you, and the choice is yours; Of course, you can choose neither of the two and fight with us, but I don't recommend you to do this, it's the same root, why not be in a hurry.

The lesson of the King of Heaven is there, I don't want you to repeat his mistakes, if you choose to go abroad, we will still be able to help each other in the future, we can still support each other and rely on each other, after all, China is your hometown, we are brothers whose blood is thicker than water.

Whenever you want to come back, that's fine. ”

"This... We're thinking about it! ”

"The general is not good! Both Detroit and Lansing were burned down by the Devil's Army, and most of the militia left behind were killed! ”

Andrew Jackson Smith pursued with tens of thousands of men all the way, but he couldn't stop Daniel, and when he wanted to go back, Daniel would turn around and come back to harass it, which made him grit his teeth with hatred.

However, Daniel's two regiments were less than 2,000 men, and they were agile and mobile, and they were soon able to get rid of the hunt and go all the way north, chasing until Claire Smith, when they received the news from Mount Pleasant in central Michigan.

"Damn! fell into the hands of the southern ghosts again, this group of devils flying to the sky and shielding the earth, it is really elusive. "Smith has trained a strong heart, along the way, how many big cities have been destroyed, how many railway lines have been torn down, he is about to be numb, the only motivation is to catch every southern soldier, and then slowly cut off his flesh with a thousand knives, and then devour it himself.

"From now on, the army will be split in two, Jobs will take people to Mount Pleasant, then go to Erma, go east to Sagina, intercept the southern ghosts, if I am not mistaken, this guy Daniel is going south to join the other half of the devil's army."

A middle-aged general who bowed his head stood up and said: "It's the general, I must have rushed to Sagino in advance to block Daniel's southward and wait for the general to attack from the north and south." ”

Southern!

North Carolina!

Robert Lee was standing on the walls of Charlotte City at this time, the smoke had just stopped, the Union battle flag was rolling down the city, and the Union flag was slowly rising.

Relying on the remnants of the Sherman Army, the Northern Virginia Army went west to break through Fayetteville, which was defended by the 4,000 Northern Army, and then divided its forces into two routes, one with John Gordon's division marching to the east coast to regain the port of Wilmington.

It then moved west into South Carolina and advanced into Columbia to sweep the coastal Northern Army.

The other way, led by Robert Lee himself, marched northwest from Fayetteville, recaptured Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina, and wiped out 4,000 Northern troops.

After Robert Lee took this place, he gathered more than 10,000 Confederate troops and more than 30,000 militiamen scattered around him, greatly replenished his troops, and greatly increased his strength, so he strengthened his troops and contacted John Bell Hood, the general of the Eastern Front of the Confederate Army near Greenville, to capture Colombia together.

More than 30,000 men of the three-way army attacked Colombia, and the two black divisions remaining here and one white brigade of more than 14,000 people were defeated, most of them were annihilated, and a small part fled to Augusta, only one regiment escaped Georgia in defeat.

John Gordon's division recaptured the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, and thus recovered all of South Carolina.

At this time, Robert Lee did not go south with the Northern Virginia Corps and reflexively sent the Second Division from Greenville to attack Asheville, while Robert Lee appeared in Greensboro with a large army in an attempt to annihilate George's early elite divisions that remained in the area.

The division was cut off by James Longstred because of its connection with George, and when the Northern Virginia Regiment was approaching him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to Danville, and then retreated to the area around South Boston.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, George also decisively withdrew from the outskirts of Rocky Mountain City to cross the Rohanok River, defend the river, and take a defensive position by relying on the advantage of river warships, waiting for Grant to destroy the Confederate army in the Federation and launch an attack on the Alliance.

So far, the whole of North Carolina has also been reconquered by the Union. All the northern armies were expelled from the land of the two states, and the total strength of the southern army was 90,000, 40,000 volunteers, and 50,000 militiamen.

At the same time, Johnston continued to be the commander of the Western Front Corps, reorganized the Western Front Corps to attack Georgia, and recovered the southern states and cities.

Yang Dongfang waited for Daniel's southward convergence in Flint, and on the other hand, he directly returned to Baltimore with two regiments, and then went to Raleigh City to re-bring the two regiments of the Southern Army to Michigan.

Three days had passed, and a liaison had been sent by Daniel.

"Special envoy, General Daniel has sent me to inform you that he will not be able to cross from Saginaw to join you on time, and Smith has sent more than 10,000 men to garrison Saginaw, and it seems that he has seen through the intentions of our army, so the general changed the original route of the march and went to Bay, from which he passed through the Saginaw River and went down Hughton Lake."

Yang Dongfang rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, and said: "Well, since Smith has become so cautious, it is unlikely that he will be attacked in a short period of time, so it is better to tell General Daniel to sweep the northeast of Michigan well, so that there will be no peace in the whole territory of Michigan, and the Federation will be even more heartbroken now!" ”

After sending the messenger, Yang Dongfang took out the map, pointed to the location to the east and said: "Advance in the direction of Lapika, we will also go to Huton Lake to see the scenery and see if there are any boats that can catch a batch. ”

Two days later, Yang Dongfang and others finally appeared in Hughton Lake, one of the five great lakes in the United States, where the scenery is very beautiful, green trees and forests, and it is full of vitality.

Of course, he didn't find any boats, and there weren't many boats that could walk this line, and there were only a few dozen small fishing boats in the lakeside town, all of which were captured by fishermen who were better than they could dominate the country.

Calculating the time, Daniel had to wait for it for several days, leaving one or two companies behind, with plenty of weapons and ammunition, and flew to Toledo, the former station into Michigan, re-entered Ohio, and continued eastward along the railroad along the lake.

Two days later it reached the vicinity of Cliffläve, but the city was populous, the largest city on the shores of Lake Erie, and the most important midpoint of the railroad along the lake.

During the Civil War, the Union's mid-section railroad was often harassed and attacked by Confederate forces, so the Railroad along the lake, also known as the Underground Railroad, was used to transport blacks fleeing from the South to the North.

In addition, minerals and timber transported from the western, central, and north-central parts were sent to the northeast to be processed into timber for ships and steel-making weapons.

It can be said that the railway along the lake is the busiest and most important railway of the Federation, compared with the railway lines that Yang Dongfang captured and destroyed before, they are far from being able to match it, and this section is the real seven inches of the Federation.

Therefore, there are heavy troops here, and there are more than 10,000 regular troops in one brigade and standing militia, not including the militia that is ready to be conscripted at any time.

"There are as many as 20,000 heavy soldiers, this is a piece of fat! There are a lot of good things in the big city, there must be a lot of locomotives, there will be no shortage of ore, and the timber is estimated to be piled up into a mountain, and it is said that there is more coal. ”

"It's not okay to attack hard, then let's stir up, you can't let the baby inside escape, all of them have it, now start dismantling the railway, dismantling his own." (To be continued.) )
