Chapter 490: Bloody Battle of Damos (3)

Ali Rang launched three waves of attacks on the position of the first division in a row, and the officers and men of the seventh brigade were a little unable to hold on, after all, one brigade faced the crazy offensive of two brigades, and the seventh brigade was still mostly recruits, and its combat strength was average.

After three waves of attacks, the casualties of the Seventh Brigade exceeded 1,000 people, Zhou Tong was in a hurry, there was no good way, the absolute gap in strength was definitely not something that could be made up by strategy, not to mention that it was still in the offensive and defensive battle of the position.

By the time the fourth wave of the offensive was launched, the Seventh Brigade had been killed by the Southern Army to the front of the position, and Zhou Tong had no choice but to lead the soldiers to launch a tragic white-knuckle battle and desperate hand-to-hand combat to kill the Southern Army.

I can't stand it!

Gao Qi in the back saw that the Seventh Brigade was not the opponent of the Southern Army at all!

"Big brother, let's let our first division go up!"

Guo Ye shook his head, turned around, and shouted: "Zhao Zhiyu, lead your Ninth Brigade to press me up!" Resist, no matter what, we must buy a day's rest for the soldiers of the first division! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Zhiyu agreed, led the Ninth Brigade to rush forward, and got the Ninth Brigade as a new force to join, and the two of them barely stabilized the situation on the battlefield.

Guild wars! Guild wars!

Ali rang, launched the three divisions under his command to launch a fierce attack on the position of the first division in turn, three days, a full three days of battle, not only the first division, the third division suffered huge pressure, many casualties, the three divisions of the southern army are even more casualties, after all, the attacking side lacks cover, the casualties are above the federal army, three days of attack, the casualties of the southern army have exceeded 7,000 people!

After three days of fighting, even the Southern Army is now a little tired, but Ali Rang still doesn't want to back down, the Southern Army is tired, why isn't the Federation Army like this? If you withdraw your troops and recuperate, your three days of hard work will be in vain!

"******, why has it been so long, and the cavalry division still hasn't arrived at the battlefield yet? According to the news sent by Elvis, the cavalry division should have arrived a long time ago, could it be that the cavalry division also had an accident? ”

Ali made his heart wonder, if Sturridge and Elvis were defeated by the Federation Army, it would be troublesome, with his own troops, even if he could defeat the Federation Army in front of him, and then he wanted to attack Richmond, he would be a little more than enough to attack Richmond!

However, now almost all of Richmond's Union troops have arrived here, and according to their own estimates, there are at least seven brigades here, and there are only about 10,000 infantry in the city of Richmond, and only with 10,000 or so infantry to defeat Elvis? This is simply unimaginable, absolutely impossible, if you fight alone, in the wilderness, 10,000 Federation troops can't even fight themselves, how can they defeat a reorganized cavalry division? That's more than 12,000 people!

Ali was puzzled, and he didn't know what was holding back the pace of the cavalry division!

I can't care so much, the most important thing now is to defeat the Federation Army in front of me, there is no doubt that the mysterious Eastern General who is in command behind is definitely the one who is in command, otherwise, even Grant himself is definitely not his opponent here!

Offensive!

"Order, attack the number one position of the Federation Army again!"

Ali named the position of the 1st Division Position No. 1, which held the choke point to Richmond, and most importantly, if this position was captured, the Federalist defenses would be self-defeating!

The Southern Army, which received the order, took out seven regiments of troops at once and threw them into the offensive again!

The position of the 1st Division became crumbling again, and the 7th and 9th Brigades tried their best to block the attack, but it was still extremely difficult to support!

"Big brother! Why don't you let me go up! The position of the 1st Division looks like it will soon be impossible to hold! ”

Gao Qi jumped straight to his feet in a hurry, but Guo Ye kept suppressing Gao Qi, and did not let Gao Qi's first division go into battle again, even if the southern army rushed to the position, he would not waver!

Gao Qi was so angry that he even dragged his shirt, and stared at Guo Ye shirtless, specially, there is no need to call the third division like this with an elite main force, this is not a thing!

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Gao Qi, why are you in a hurry?" There's a turnaround soon, wait, it's time to see soon! ”

Gao Qi was stunned, see the difference? How do you know? Now the Federal Army is at an all-round disadvantage, the artillery firepower of the Southern Army is much higher than that of the Federal Army, and the quality of the individual soldiers of the Southern Army is also above the Federal Army, except for the first division, the second division and the third division have no way to compete with others!

Just when Gao Qi was puzzled, the battlefield had changed, the position of the first division was still in a state of stalemate, and the position of the second division was also in a continuous fierce battle, and the variables came!

This variable is naturally the second brigade that rushed over from the maple forest in one go!

The distance from Nancheng to Moss Mound is not close, a full hundred and fifty miles, even if it is a full speed march, it will take thirty hours!

In order to be able to rush to the Damos Mound as soon as possible, Chen Hai's second brigade only rested for six hours on the road, and after two days and one night, it finally arrived near the Damos Mound!

"Chief of Staff, what shall we do now? Go directly to the back of the position and meet with the adults? ”

Yi Chuan, commander of the Second Brigade, asked.

"Huishi? A fart teacher! ”

Although Chen Hai did not receive Guo Ye's order, but Chen Hai, who was deeply influenced by Guo Ye's true biography, was very keen on the battlefield, and the combat command was already extremely proficient.

If you want to turn the tide of battle in one fell swoop, you have to surprise and win!

How to win by surprise, it depends on your own scheduling!

"The order is to order the entire 2nd Brigade to detour back to the southwest direction of the Southern Army, and from the southwest, launch a fierce attack on the artillery positions in the rear of the Southern Army! Quick, act now! ”

Chen Hai shouted.

Yi Chuan received the order and immediately commanded the strength of a brigade to act, and soon the army moved to the southwest direction of the Southern Army, which was only four or five miles away from the artillery positions of the Southern Army!

"Order, the artillery battalion immediately went into battle, aimed at the artillery positions of the Southern Army, gave me a covering blow, and destroyed their artillery positions for me first!"
