Chapter 267: We Are the Saviors
"The 800-mile journey is not long, but it is not short, and I have traveled more than 2,700 kilometers, not to mention the states in the Middle East that are all on the railway network below. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Counting the time, Yang Dongfang felt that he should be able to make it to Richmond before Robert Lee surrendered.
Because he can still remember that a few days after the breach of Richmond, Robert Lee ran out of ammunition and food and surrendered, but if there was a chance, Robert Lee, a proud fellow, would never surrender and admit defeat.
This is also why after he surrendered, he could still recognize the importance and respect of the Northern Army, of course, one of the reasons is not because he was a teacher at West Point, and a large part of the generals in the Northern Army were his students.
"What enemy forces have left Springfield."
George Stallman Jr., who had just returned to Springfield, was in a terrible mood, and Springfield City was ransacked.
What banks, what shops, what warehouses, even private guns, and all kinds of supplies, a nail with iron in the city was robbed, and my heart was dripping blood, what kind of bandit is this.
The anger burned out of the cavalry, and soon someone reported to them: "General, I have just received news that yellow people have appeared in the direction of Neoga, and they say that a group of Orientals are taking a train in the direction of Indiana. ”
"Chase! Give me a dead chase, and you must bite them. ”
In Indianapolis, in fact, there are still 4,800 regular troops in the US army, but they still eat Yang Dongfang's stuffy stick.
A thousand were annihilated, five hundred wounded, three hundred surrendered, and many more fled from the city.
For this reason, the New People's Army also lost a platoon, and the casualties were not small.
Because these American soldiers are veterans who have fought on the battlefield for several years, but they all use breech Minnie rifles, otherwise the casualties of the first regiment of guards will be more.
One of the reasons for the heavy casualties this time was that the first attempt at a daytime sneak attack was a little bit worse; The second reason is that there are indeed quite a few defenders, and they are all veterans.
As for why there are so many veterans here, it is because there are 5,000 prisoners here, and the prisoners of the Southern Army are being held here.
Naturally, it was worth paying attention to, and he sent heavy troops to wait, and Yang Dongfang just transferred Smith's brigade when he went east.
"We were rescued! Is the war over? The longing for peace muttered.
The captives were generally told that they could only return home after the war was over, a kind of seduction propaganda on both sides.
Seeing that someone was coming to open the prison, the Southern prisoners began to talk.
However, there is a wise one who sarcastically said: "How can it be so fast, didn't you hear the gunfire just now?" This was the battle of no less than one division, and it is estimated that our army had entered the city of Indianapolis. I believe that we will soon be free, and the victory belongs to our Southern Army. ”
Obviously, it was the die-hard loyalists of the Southern Army who absolutely supported the slave owners or farmers who were absolutely supportive of the slaves.
With apprehension, all the captives were stunned when they saw the moment the prison was opened.
"It's... Who? ”
"Where did the monster come from?"
Thin yellow face.
This is an existence that many of them have never seen before, and it is an exaggeration to say that some people are like seeing ghosts. Stunned and shocked, as if he had discovered a new continent, he began to babble.
"Who are you? What do you do? Are you a federal/son volunteer? When did the northern have such legions. ”
"Give me silence, whoever is making noise will be severely punished according to military law." Yang Dongfang walked out of the aisle and appeared in the prisoner camp, speaking fluent English, which made the Southern army prisoners below tremble.
"Who are we? I tell you, I am your savior, I have come to liberate your army of captives of the Confederate States, do you want to be free? Answer me, and I can take you out of this damn hell. ”
"Freedom, we want to be free, we want to get out of this damn hell."
At first, only a very small number of people reacted, and many people still questioned it, but soon they all understood that these yellow people were their own people, and they were here to save themselves.
Now we're relieved.
For whatever reason, no warrior liked to be a prisoner, and it was a really bad feeling, and all of a sudden everyone rejoiced and cheered.
At this time, Yang Dongfang was wearing the uniform of a general of the Northern Army, looking like a senior general, and someone asked him if he was a member of the alliance, what is your name, are you a general?
How is the Union now, I heard that Richmond was breached, is it true? ”
Yang Dongfang's face was not red, and he said without blinking: "Of course, I must be a member of the Alliance, and I am also the commander of the new Legion of the Alliance, as for Richmond being breached, this is pure fiction, and it was deliberately made up to deceive you by the bastards of the Northern Army in order to confuse you and break your will."
Because they want to defeat you, defeat you mentally, your spiritual pillar General Robert Lee is still fighting, the alliance is not lost yet, the victory will definitely belong to the self-defense forces in the end, and the aggressor will eventually lose.
So these guys in the Federation are always deliberately orchestrating a slander alliance.
Do you know why the aggressors are trying to deceive you? Because they are afraid of you, and they are afraid of your spirit of resistance, and they are afraid that you will hate and rebel, because they have burned and looted all the way in Mississippi, in Aesopama, in Georgia, and have burned down your estates, ransacked your hometowns, and killed everyone they thought was a threat to them.
The south is already full of blood and bones, so they are afraid of your revenge, they want to wear out your spirit of resistance, remember the name, William Tecusay Sherman, he is an executioner, now that you are free, what do you want to do the most, then do it? ”
was instigated by Yang Dongfang in such a flicker, not to mention that some people lost their minds at the moment, rushed out of the prisoner camp angrily, and then made trouble in the city, beating and asking the people in the city.
Strive for the truth.
The answer was that Richmond had been conquered, and Sherman had led the Western Front Army into Atlanta, killing people and setting fires, burning and looting along the way.
Sherman's deeds have long been spread, and there is nothing to hide, and the people in the north generally support his revenge, supporting him to destroy the southern army and pressure the southern army to admit defeat.
With Yang Dongfang's words as a foreshadowing, it seems unimportant and confusing if Richmond is conquered, and the captives will naturally choose not to believe and do not want to believe that Richmond will be broken by the Northern Army.
The captives could not suppress the emotions in their hearts, and their hometown was burned and looted by this guy Sherman, which was really unacceptable and intolerable.
began to smash, loot and burn in the city, causing constant trouble.
"Dashuai, are we going to stop these foreigners?"
"Why stop it, they can do whatever they want, it's our business." Looting materials or something, of course Yang Dongzhu will not be soft, but this kind of business of killing people and setting fires, hehe. He didn't encourage the NPA to do that.
After all, what he brought out was a troop and a regiment of guards, and if he did this, the cadres would be released in the future, but who knows if there would be any trouble.
As for the southern army doing this kind of thing, I am happy to see it happen, anyway, the two brothers in the north and south are fighting so fiercely, it doesn't matter if they are making a mortal enmity. In the end, it will be bigger, bigger, and wider, and it is better for the Southern Army to follow Sherman's example and turn the whole of America into a scorched earth of ruins. (To be continued.) )
