Chapter 401: The Battle of Atlanta

All the cumbersome operations lasted for almost two months, running through the establishment and improvement of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom in Beijing, and it can be said that Luo Yang put most of his time and energy into diplomacy.

The political system and official institutions are all outlined by him, and they are operated by Zhang Suimou, Luo Bingzhang, Zeng Guofan and others.

The Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, within the first time, announced to the whole country that the U.S. government had declared war and its own government had responded to the war.

After announcing the war, Luo Yang immediately took corresponding measures,

In Tianjin, as the most direct theater possible, a coastal zone defense zone was established, where a division of troops was stationed, with artillery brigades, cavalry regiments, and so on, and in Nanyuan, intensified training of troops, as reinforcements for the second line, in Shanghai, a strong army of three divisions was assembled, and in the coastal provinces, troops were also gathered, troops were trained, and ammunition was replenished.

Although the two countries have declared war, the possibility of direct combat is still unlikely, and the only possibility is that the United States will send a fleet to cross the ocean to invade China's coast.

McTon, the representative of the South, was almost the first to run to congratulate Luo Yang, congratulating them on taking a great step to join the great battle against the tyranny of the American Union.

Luo Yang immediately proposed to officially recognize that the League of American States, referred to as the United States for short, formed a military alliance with them, and McTone agreed almost without even thinking about it.

The signing of the official document was very easy, because, according to McTon, after successfully lobbying a task force of the Chinese Army to go to the south to participate in the war, the southern military government was overjoyed, and simply gave McTone the name of plenipotentiary representative, and he was qualified to decide all matters.

Now, by telegram, McTone brought great news, the special operations brigade of the Huaxia Army, safely reached the southern part of the United States, and according to Luo Yang's suggestion, they landed in Mexico, and then, quickly entered the United States, and were warmly welcomed by the southern army and people of the United States, and soon, they participated in the battle,

Atlanta, which is the intersection of the Mississippi River and the horizontal railroad, is a hub of water and land transportation, and is also the most beautiful and luxurious city in the South.

The famous American general Grant, who has led hundreds of thousands of troops, surrounded here, the rumbling cannon sound, shook the wilderness in this area, the snow-white cotton and the real flowers that are fluttering one after another, the emerald green branches and leaves, will be the endless earth decorated beautifully, the pastoral scenery, in the south of the United States, simple and beautiful,

The blazing sun has already converged its edge, but in the neighborhood of this big city, the fighting continues, and the northern army has cut off the city's foreign aid channel with heavy artillery fire and powerful troops, and the siege has been for several months, and the fall of the city has been determined,

After taking a sip of wine, General Grant smoothed his huge and strict beard regiment, the majesty and recklessness of a soldier, very manly sensibility, but unfortunately, because of the fatigue of the past few days, his military uniform was very dirty, and all the officers and soldiers were also a little lax,

"We're about to take Atlanta."

"yes, it's about to succeed."

General Grant had his own plans: "Brothers, warriors, prepare your torches and prepare to burn them in the city, and we will burn the rebels' homes to desolate ruins." ”

"Ha, ha, burn, burn these guys." Several officers shouted excitedly,

Someone asked, "Your Excellency, what if those people refuse to leave?" ”

"Either that, let's go, or." His cold gaze was fixed on the front, and the corners of his mouth were stern sneers: "Our task is to burn all the towns, and as for what they want to do, we will not interfere." ”

The meaning is obvious, if the southerners do not evacuate, even if they are civilians, old people and children, women, they will be burned, burned to death.

In the dense recesses of the trenches, the southern soldiers were already very scarce, in the face of continuous blows, they suffered heavy losses, and now, there are still thousands of people, but a new offensive is about to begin, the brigade of the northern army is gathering, colorful shells, shaking a huge amount of earth in all directions, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, it is almost impossible to see the opposite side,

On this day, at this moment, on the southeast horizon, a bean-green cloud suddenly surged, and at first, many Atlantans still suspected that their eyes were dazzled and dizzy, but the sound of the mountain and tsunami came quickly, and they all looked there in shock,

"What's that?" Many women were trembling with their children in their arms, and the Northern Army was becoming more and more brutal in the brutal war, killing not only civilians but also women and children.

"I don't know, it's reinforcements."

It's indeed reinforcements, but it's extremely weird,

On the east bank of the Mississippi River, the besieging Northern Army immediately met the battle, the fat and well-trained Northern Army, tall in size, with rifles in their hands, already loaded with ammunition, columns of troops, all over the hills, surging from large tents and sleeping bags,

The Chinese volunteers led by Li Shixian and Dai Beibei, under the guidance of 3,000 American Southern Army, rushed to reinforcements, and in the face of the predicament of the war, it was the president and commander of the South, General Robert Lee, who felt frustrated, that the troops that could be reinforced, there were almost no troops, and Dai Beibei insisted that he could defeat any enemy,

Li Shixian was the political leader, the nominal commander of the legion, and Dai Beibei was the real soul, he assumed the actual command, first set up a position not far from the enemy, ordered the officers and soldiers to dig a ravine, and set up a strong defensive position, and then ordered the American Southern Army to attack, "only defeat but not victory." ”

Only a thousand men of the Southern Army charged forward, and the brutal war aroused their fighting spirit, and these people fought bravely, shouting slogans, brandishing rifles and bayonets, because the military uniforms were not uniform, and they were more militia in nature.

Soon, the Northern Army met the battle, the two armies were mixed together, and the scene of shooting ammunition at a distance of more than 20 meters was shocking, and then, the dead and wounded were everywhere, and after the fierce battle, the Southern Army had more than 1,000 people, and only more than 300 people survived.

The Northern Army naturally wanted to attack and chase, because the reinforcements from here were a huge threat to their encirclement, and about 5,000 Northern Army troops launched an attack here.

Historically, a famous battle in the history of the United States was fought,

With defensive counterattack tactics, hiding the advanced weapons of flying thunder artillery, the Huaxia Army and more than 2,000 southern armies defended their positions to the death, and now, in addition to artillery, the Huaxia Army has adopted American-made Mauser guns.

According to the order, the Southern Army hid behind the Huaxia Army, and after the Huaxia Army arrived in the United States, it was mandatory to change into bean-green military uniforms, so that they looked like they were merged with the vast cotton fields and had beautiful color protection.

On the contrary, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army have bright uniforms, tall figures, and clear goals.

All the Chinese officers and soldiers, the cat was in the ravine, aimed at the enemy, and the artillery was especially on standby,

Within a distance of thirty meters, a large area of the northern army pounced, and the columns of troops were fierce and terrifying.

One hundred and twenty flying thunder cannons, suddenly bombarded,

In just three minutes, more than 5,000 Northern Army troops were almost blown up.
