Chapter 265 Lincoln Waiting for Good News
"How's it going?"
Yang Dongfang, who had infiltrated Springfield, settled the team and returned to Rock Alland after a squat. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"According to your orders, Dashuai, we gradually retreated, making the appearance of being trapped and invincible, mainly killing and wounding the enemy, and as a result, the foreign devils really attacked in a big way, and there were 3,000 losses in excess of the code.
But after fighting twice, I learned to be obedient, and I didn't send people to rush anymore, and I shouted hard to call us to surrender, and you said that he was not funny. ”
Wang Dake said with a smile: "It's still the same at night, and the foreign devils don't move, and they can't fight at night." ”
After speaking, everyone waited for Yang Dongfang to give an order, and they had already learned well with Yang Dongfang, and now they were full of energy at twelve o'clock in the evening, because they were going to fight a night battle every other day and began to get used to this way of life.
Conditioned reflexes have been developed.
Yang Dongfang glanced at it and waved his big hand: "Look at what you are doing, action is it, I believe that you have ideas during the day, you must have made a plan, I will not make a deployment, you know the situation better than me, act!" ”
Of course, Wang Dake and the others have ideas, and tonight's goal is to directly counterattack out of the city, in the direction of the east.
Two Gatlings opened the way, with the first battalion taking the lead, the second battalion of pistols rushing to the front line, followed by the second battalion of pistols, and the fourth battalion of the battalion opening artillery to bombard the American positions. In order to recover the cannon, Yang Dongfang naturally guarded the rear.
"Boom, boom, boom.!"
Soon the sky was half brightened, and countless gunshots rang out from the positions ahead, and points of light flew around, like a discordant meteor shower, and they fell into the alert position of the US army.
"General, it's not good, the enemy is rushing to our forward position, their fire is too fierce, the boys can't resist it."
Andrew Jackson Smith had no idea that the New People's Army would counterattack at night, and that the counterattack would be so fierce that no one would be left behind and rush to his headquarters to the east.
"General! Oh no, the enemy forces have crushed our troops, and they are rushing towards our command. ”
Smith roared: "How could this be, how many of them were, how did they attack, what our troops were doing, why didn't they find out in advance, why didn't they block it." ”
"General, we were careless, everyone thought that the enemy army would fight to the death."
"Da da da..."
Smith suddenly stopped scolding, his ears rose, and his heart was cold, because the gunfire of Gatling not far away rang out, and it was clear that the rebels had attacked under their noses.
"The rebels are attacking so fast, the general is leaving." The soldiers dragged Smith and ran out of the headquarters with everyone in their arms, and when they came out, they saw that there were people fleeing everywhere, only some wood burned by the cannonballs in the black, and the sound of gunfire swept through the dim vision.
Fortunately, they ran fast, and the next moment, the machine gun swept towards the tent, a row of gun holes, and the military tent burned.
"Stop the pursuit, clean up the battlefield on the spot, take everything you can with you, and leave in ten minutes."
"Yes!"
A night attack, almost killed and wounded more than 2,000 people in Smith, the results were brilliant, a simple sweep, picked up the things that could be used, put them all in a pile, and there was no need to tidy up, Yang Dongfang received the space, and the battalions stood in line.
They were all excited, because they knew that it was just a feeding operation, and there was a battle waiting for them tonight.
There is still a sweep to be carried out.
"General! The rebels did not pursue, we escaped. "Why use escape, because Smith only saved a platoon around him, and most of them were scattered, but fortunately, two thousand men and horses were quickly gathered, and the three regiments in the north heard the battle begin, and also launched a tentative attack from the north of the city, rushed into the city in one fell swoop, received Rock Ayland, and then supported in the direction of the headquarters.
"Boys, the time has come for us to take revenge, the enemy army has been attacked on the back of the enemy, and they are all vulnerable to a blow, and they will all follow me to kill back." Smith screamed, although the gathered soldiers were a little scared and beaten inexplicably, but they still had some shame, after all, in their eyes, the dignified frontal fight was the gentleman and the mainstream.
For the sneak attack, the night attack, this is done by the despicable, of course, he was very unconvinced, and immediately followed Smith to turn around and kill the command. As a result, he came in a rage, and saw a battlefield that had been tortured and had no skin, and there was no trace of the enemy except for the corpses of his own people.
"It's... The rebels fled inside, and they were clearly attacking our general's headquarters and killing our men. ”
"General, did you see the rebels, we rushed all the way and did not find a single shadow of the rebels." The three American legions that rushed out of the city looked left and right and asked.
Smith reached into his scalp with his right hand and scratched it, his mood was complicated, his face was tight, and his eyes were confused.
And the troublemakers, Yang Dongfang and the others, were attacking Springfield at this time, and soon captured it, and began to sweep and dig for resources.
Of course, this is also the 7th state capital they have captured from California, that is, the 7 provincial capitals, the results are quite brilliant, Smith also Roque Allan is looking for revenge, Yang Dongfang continued the old pattern, rode south for a hundred kilometers, took a railroad between St. Ann and Indianapolis, and continued eastward.
Indianapolis was originally the starting point for Smith to go north and west to contain Yang Dongfang, and it was also Smith's base camp, and now he definitely couldn't imagine that Yang Dongfang was going to kick his ass.
And also unleash a group of demons here.
Washington!
After four years of hard work, he finally waited for a shocking good news, walking down the corridor of the presidential building, with a telegram in his hand, Secretary of State William H. Seward burst open the door of Lincoln's office with a brisk look on his face and a brisk step.
"Great Mr. President, do you want to know what good news I have for you?"
William H. Seward said a little playfully, and Lincoln was also stunned, but an ugly smile appeared on his face: "It won't be Richmond, General Grant has done some miracle for us." ”
"Wise as you Abraham, the rebel capital city of Richmond has just been captured by our army, do you think we should celebrate?"
"Ou! This is really great news, William will be remembered by history, we will always remember this day, we have finally defeated the rebels, our ideals are finally coming true, and there is nothing to stop us. ”
Lincoln was so happy to be in a rare hug and celebration with William H. Seward, who had rebelled against him in his cabinet as soon as he took office, and who had started the war with him as the fuse, which made him fear every day and under pressure all the time.
William H. Seward was of course more pleased, because in this way his political career could be drawn to a perfect end, so for the sake of this perfection he did not mention or mention the standard: "Although Richmond has been breached, there are two men who have not yet been captured, who have not surrendered, and the war has not yet ended." ”
Lincoln knew what he meant, sat back and nodded, and took a cigar: "Of course, as for Davis, this guy has to be caught and then put on the gallows to calm the anger, and as for General Robert Lee, I think if I can let Grant force him down." (To be continued.) )
