Chapter 1352: When Roosevelt Meets Kennedy and Asks for a Monthly Pass
Rosie of the Fourteenth Militia Regiment in Brooklyn. Captain Roosevelt crawled like a rat in the muddy trenches, and he no longer thought about what the soft stuff he had touched with his hands and feet. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This young captain from New York's high society had just graduated from Columbia University a few months earlier, and had married Helen Atos, who was also from a wealthy family, and a good life awaited him and his family...... But now, with less than half a company of soldiers, he was guarding a trench that was about to be flattened by Chinese artillery, and all that awaited him was death or capture.
The firepower of the Chinese army was exploding in all directions, but it had weakened a lot compared to the overwhelming momentum just now, and it seemed to be extending backwards. But Dorothy. Roosevelt and his soldiers didn't bode well, absolutely not! Because as soon as the shelling is over, the infantry charge of the Chinese army will begin! Moreover, there is a lightweight, small curved artillery that will move up with the Chinese infantry, and then set up less than 2,000 meters from the trenches they hold to fire damn "small grenades". For American soldiers in the trenches, this "small grenade" is simply a scythe of death that harvests life! Rosie. One-third of Roosevelt's company soldiers were killed or seriously wounded by this nasty weapon. But no one could do anything with this kind of "small artillery", let alone hide in the anti-artillery fortifications when the Chinese infantry was approaching. can only stand up to the bombardment!
Rosie\a\Books\Reading\Novels. Roosevelt crawled along the trenches, each soldier huddled against the wall to avoid the artillery fire. He would slap them hard and gesture to be ready for an attack. There are many people who were slapped by him and fell down like this. They were already hit by flying shrapnel. Sacrificed in this muddy and dirty trench. The 14th Brooklyn Militia Regiment had been bleeding in front of the Chinese defense line during an offensive operation two months earlier. The casualties of the whole regiment exceeded 2,000 people! Rosie. Roosevelt's company suffered more than 100 casualties, less than 30 veterans who walked down from the battlefield, and all four company commanders were killed on the battlefield. But after holding out for half a day on the front line of the Conseil Bluffs, Rosie. Roosevelt, however, was convinced that his company would not need a new commander, because what awaited this company would be the annihilation of the entire army!
No one will ever make it back alive! Rosie. Roosevelt thought pessimistically, until tonight. His company will be wiped out, and he will die, buried on the banks of the Missouri River, and will never return to the luxurious mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York, and will never see Helen again......
After crawling back and forth in the trench and sending all the brothers who could still move into the line of fire, Rosie. Roosevelt scrambled to his feet from the trench. He gasped heavily, looking forward through the blurred telescope eyepieces. There was nothing left in front of him except the smoke of gunpowder after the heavy shelling of the artillery. But he knew that the infantry of the Chinese was just behind this piece of gunsmoke!
Rosie. Roosevelt dragged a communications soldier by the hand. Shout: "Flare!" Let the artillery in the rear concentrate their fire on the section in front of our trenches and block the line of Chinese coming up! Be sure to block ......."
"Hurry, hurry! Follow me! "Patrick. Captain Kennedy roared similarly. It's in Chinese! This descendant of immigrants from Ireland is now a "Roman", a Romans of the Kingdom of Donghua! When the national crisis is at the head, it is the time when loyalty is truly tested. Born in a prestigious family in New York, studying at Columbia University, and marrying the daughter of the best family in the United States, Rosie . Roosevelt naturally had a duty to fight for the future of the United States.
And the son of an Irish immigrant who has nothing, Patrick, who works as a porter on the docks in order to support his family. And what reason did Kennedy have to be loyal to the American Empire? What benefits did the American Empire, and Victoria, who was also the Empress of the American Empire, give him? Why should he be killed?
So after the end of the First North American War, Patrick, who was not yet an adult. Kennedy left the American Empire with his mother, first to the Confederate States, hoping to get a piece of land there, but Patrick. Kennedy was not yet an adult at the time, and could not obtain land under the Union's Homestead Act, so he had no choice but to try his luck in Donghua.
So Patrick. Kennedy became a citizen of Donghua and soon had a stepfather, a wealthy Chinese officer who had retired from the Ming army. Because in the early years of the founding of Donghua, the immigrants from East Asia were mainly men, and the phenomenon of more men than women was more serious. Even a white widow in her thirties who has given birth to a child can find a wishful husband in Donghua...... With the support of his stepfather, Patrick. Kennedy returned to school and was admitted to the military academy to become a company commander in the Second Roman Army of Donghua. Now they are on the battlefield with the American Empire and the Confederate States of America! According to the Ku Klux Klan, people like him are white traitors, but in the eyes of the white citizens of Donghua, they are merely loyal to their homeland and the king.
Captain Kennedy and his white soldiers were highly trained and disciplined infantrymen. There is no doubt that he is one of the most powerful infantry on the North American battlefield at the moment. The American artillery fire swept through their stormtrooper formation, but the suppression of the superior heavy artillery fire of the East China Army did not last long - before they concentrated the artillery scattered throughout the battle line, they could only fire a few shots and then change places. However, there were still some Chinese soldiers whose bodies were torn apart by shells and thrown into the sky. Captain Kennedy and other white officers of the Chinese Army were hoarsely urging his men to maintain a charge formation under such firepower. The officers and men of the 2nd Roman Legion of Donghua endured all this and rushed through the blockade line of artillery fire as fast as possible. In the dust and smoke that enveloped the battlefield, these white infantry of the Donghua Army wearing black military uniforms and black steel helmets had already rushed through the artillery blockade, shouting and rushing to the front of the American trenches. Everyone buried their heads, and the rifles were loaded with bayonets. First there were a few scattered people, and then from the smoke of gunpowder, groups appeared!
"White traitor! It's a white traitor! "When it became clear that the Donghua soldiers who rushed out of the billowing smoke were all white, the people on the American positions immediately boiled, and before the officers could give the order to open fire, the machine guns and rifles on the entire front were fired at the same time -- I don't know what emotion, the soldiers of the American Empire were extremely hateful to the white people who joined the Chinese army, regardless of whether they were from the United States or not. In the Emperor of America. There is an unwritten rule in the team that the captive yellow people will go into the captive camp to wait for exchange, but the captive white traitor will be shot immediately!
But the mortar shells of the Chinese army, which were attached to the Ming army's troops, were now mobilized to support the attack of the East China army. The dense and accurate artillery shells immediately set off a fiery metal storm in the trenches of the US troops, so that the US troops could not even raise their heads, and the firepower on the positions suddenly weakened a lot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the company led by Captain Kennedy finally rushed to the front of the American trenches. Grenades rained down into the trenches of the expeditionary force, and the sound of explosions resounded in the trenches. Rosie. Roosevelt knew that there was no way to stop the enemy's assault with firepower, so he grabbed a rifle with a bayonet and jumped into the trench, and this young man from a famous New York family was now in tattered uniforms and covered in mud. Only the very polished helmet on the top of his head still looked like a flag, beckoning his soldiers to follow him: "For the sake of America, rush!" ”
And less than 20 meters across from him, Patrick. Captain Kennedy, too, with a rifle loaded with a bayonet, yelled and charged. "Long live Donghua! Long live the King! (To be continued......)
