Chapter 487: Victory
Elvis is now full of anger, this battle was lost too unjustly, he is a full cavalry division, he was defeated by thousands of federal troops, and it was a fiasco, an unprecedented fiasco, more than 10,000 people did not fight, only more than 5,000 people remained! , where does this still have the face to report to General Robert?
The most terrible thing is that now Ali Jean's three divisions are about to launch an attack on Richmond, but Sturridge was killed, and in the blink of an eye, he was killed again, Ali Rang has completely become the commander of the light pole, how can this battle be fought? Even if the combat strength of the federal army is average, as long as the city is resisted and defended, with the same strength, Ali Rang will be helpless, not to mention that Richmond still has this mysterious Oriental general in charge? If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid that Ali Rang will be unlucky!
But what can be done now? The casualties of the cavalry division are too great, they are far from being described as wounded muscles and bones, it is simply lying down a layer of skin, there are only about 5,000 people left, less than 4,000 war horses, some are still injured, and the most important thing is that there are no weapons, rifles and sabers are combined, and now they can barely one person, and there is not much ammunition, even if you want to continue to gallop to Ali Rang, it is impossible, no weapons, go up to die?
Elvis was so worried that in the end, there was only one way, and that was to immediately ask General Robert to send a large army to help again, and at the same time carry a large amount of weapons and ammunition, so as to form a deadly threat to Richmond again!
"Iverson, immediately send a signal corps to the city of Gminda, sixty miles away, and send a telegram to General Robert asking for urgent support! Ask Robert to indicate the next plan of action! ”
"Yes!"
Iverson turned and went down to give the order.
Maple Grove, this battle, it's so exciting!
Chen Hai didn't expect to be able to achieve such success, killing more than 3,000 enemies, capturing more than 5,000 people, capturing more than 8,000 rifles, capturing nearly 3,000 war horses, in addition, there were hundreds of wounded horses, 3,000 war horses, and it was completely possible to form two cavalry regiments!
The most important thing is that after this battle, the cavalry division in the south completely lifted the threat to Richmond City, in a short period of time, the cavalry division can not recover its combat strength at all, then in the next time, his second brigade can completely wave the division to the west and gallop to the aid of the eldest brother, anyway, Sturridge and Elvis have no strength to attack Richmond again, Richmond is as stable as Mount Tai, and the most important thing now is to kill Ali!
"Zheng Yu!"
Zheng Yu, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the Second Brigade, hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Chief of Staff! ”
Chen Hai said in a deep voice: "Immediately assemble the reconnaissance battalion, escort the prisoners and horses back to Richmond immediately, and at the same time, send a signal corps to send a letter to General Grant, asking General Grant to send troops to respond!" ”
"Yes!"
Zheng Yu agreed, hesitated, and asked, "Chief of Staff, let's escort the prisoners and supplies, what about you?" ”
"What's more, Lao Tzu is naturally leading the main force to Xicheng to support the adults, the strength of the southern army is not weak, this time to fight, we are not safe......"
Chen Hai replied.
Zheng Yu pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Chief of Staff, why, you all went to war, let us reconnoiter the battalion escort the prisoners?" We are the ...... born by our stepmother."
"Fart! Do whatever Lao Tzu tells you to do! Where did all this nonsense come from? Talk more, Lao Tzu will cut you, go and assemble the team, wait for you to complete the task, and then go to the west of the city, get out! ”
Chen Hai scolded with a smile, stretched out his legs and kicked towards Zheng Yu, and Zheng Yu ran out in a hurry.
Chen Hai turned around and shouted, "Yi Chuan! ”
Yi Chuan, the commander of the Second Brigade, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chief of Staff!" ”
"Order the Second Brigade to rest for four hours, and march to the west of the city at five o'clock in the morning on time to rush to the aid of your lordship!"
"Yes!"
After Chen Hai finished deploying the order, he looked at the northwest direction from afar, and now he was afraid that Ali Rang had already reached the northwest direction, but there were no woods in the northwest direction, and there were no green gauze tents, all hilly areas, and the vegetation coverage was far less good than that of the south and east, and it was very difficult to carry out an ambush.
Ali rang's three divisions are not bad, in just four days, the fifth army will be beaten to the ground, miserable, this time I am afraid that the sixth army is a strong enemy, in the face of such a strong enemy, it can only be hard, an earth-shaking war is about to start, or has already been fought, although the eldest brother is haunted by the gods, but there is no strong card in his hand, it is useless, the three divisions really have strong combat effectiveness is the first division, and they were transferred away by themselves a brigade, the rest of the second division, the third division, The combat effectiveness is not as strong as the Southern Army, and Ali Rang has just defeated the Fifth Army, so you can imagine how difficult it is to block it.
Chen Hai's mind is far more meticulous than Gao Qi and a few others, among the entire Guo Ye's brothers, only Wang Huanzhang can be compared with Chen Hai, how to stop Ali Rang? There is nothing to do now, Chen Hai has no mind to sleep at all, thinking carefully about the strategies that the eldest brother may use, how to fight? How can you fight to defeat Ali Rang's three divisions?
It's difficult, in addition to the existence of the eldest brother, the Sixth Army does not have any advantages at all, weapons, morale, individual soldier quality, and even troops, are at a disadvantage, if you replace yourself, I believe that I will support it very difficult, to be able to defeat the cavalry division, it is completely with the help of deployment, completely occupy the time, place and people, in order to achieve such success, but it does not mean that I can face the three divisions of Ali Rang, and I can have such good luck, I can't do it, then I can only look at the big brother's, hope, I hope that before I rush to Xicheng, there won't be any chaos!
The night passed quickly, dawn came, the sky was just dark, the second brigade was like a beast, rushing down in the northwest direction, from the maple forest to the Moss Mound, a full 150 or 60 miles away, even if it was a full-speed march, it would take two or three days, the military situation was urgent, and now Chen Hai couldn't take care of much, he had to arrive at the Damos Mound at the first time!
In Richmond, when Grant was at the headquarters and couldn't sleep all night, a staff officer stumbled in and shouted, "General Grant, General Grant, urgent report ahead!" ”
Grant was shocked, it was so late, there was an urgent report ahead, what happened?
"Steven, speak slowly, where is the urgent report, is it a victory or a defeat?"
Grant shouted.
"It's the south, it's the south, General Chen Hai led the Second Brigade to successfully ambush the cavalry division of the Southern Army and won a complete victory!" (To be continued.) )
