Yang Xien pointed to Pratt City, the southernmost point of the Missouri River Front, and said, "My lord, here is the junction of the Missouri River cluster of the American Empire and the Kansas cluster of the Confederate States of America. Although it was in Missouri, it was defended by the troops of the American Empire. It's only 40 kilometers from Kansas City...... It has been very calm since the beginning of the war, and there has been no major war. The 82nd Division of the American Empire was stationed there, forming a defensive line along the Missouri River. Opposite them were Huang Bingkun's 5th Division and a regiment of the 45th Division, while the main force of the 45th Division was in Lanxinzhen, a little further south. ”
The 5th and 45th Divisions of the Donghua Army suffered heavy losses in the August battle, with more than half of the casualties in both divisions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were disabled. So in this "Autumn Wind Operation", he was left aside and continued to lick his wounds, and he was responsible for the unimportant lots.
"How's it going now? Did the fight start? Jujuan's attention was on the Conseil Bluffs salient and not on Pratt City at all.
"No, it's all quiet there."
"Everything is calm? Don't...... Could it be that the US 82nd Division has fled? Jujuan was stunned, "Where is Kansas City?" ”
"It's still a fierce battle." Yang Xien said, "The reports of the First Army are full of bitterness, Thomas. Jackson went mad and commanded the troops in the onslaught: I: Ben: Read: Novel 3w.ybdu... Further south, there are reports of U.S. cavalry units breaking through, and the situation is precarious. ”
Jujuan nodded silently and looked at the map for a moment. The staff officers in the war room were busy marking the latest situation on the map. Signs of a retreat of American troops along the Missouri River are becoming more and more apparent. The map is full of red arrows that stretch eastward. The U.S. counteroffensive in the Consel Bluffs salient has also weakened. In some areas, the Chinese army is already attacking. However, the Confederate Army in the Kansas City area continued to storm onslaught. The Confederate Army and the Emperor. The junction was silent and silent -- apparently the Fifth and Forty-fifth Divisions did not organize troops to cross the Missouri River for fire reconnaissance.
Jujuan pointed to the area around Kansas City on the map and said in a low voice, "Thomas. Is Jackson crazy? Still is...... Chen Yucheng was also bluffed? ”
Listening to Zhu Juan's question, Yang Xien just smiled faintly. He even crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly, "...... The king, the minister felt that it was not Chen Yinggong (the British Duke of Donghua) who was kept in the dark, but Thomas. Jackson...... He must not have known about the Emperor of America. He has already begun to retreat, and is still attacking vigorously to attract our attention so that his northern brother can solve his trouble! ”
"Yixuan. You mean William. Sherman betrayed Jackson's hundreds of thousands of Confederate troops in order to keep his army? Jujuan's eyes widened, "That's too irresponsible, isn't it?" ”
Yang Xien laughed, "Now that they are in a big disaster, of course, they must protect themselves first." Don't let Sherman live up to Sherman's kindness, let the Fifth and Forty-fifth Divisions cross the river, and then detour north of Kansas City back to Jackson's back to cut the Pacific Railroad line. Just hold off Jackson for a few days, and his Kansas cluster is over! ”
Jujuan raised his eyebrows. Looking at Yang Xien, "Eat the 600,000 army of the alliance in one bite?" ”
"Eat it in one bite!" Yang Xien nodded heavily. "Then Missouri and Arkansas will be ours, Louisiana and Texas will definitely break away from the Union, and maybe even Florida will follow."
"Then the retreating Emperor of America. What about the team? ”
"Leave it to the cavalry, and catch up as much as you want...... At least let them leave some of their heavy equipment and supplies behind! ”
Zhu Juan nodded, waved his hand and said, "Give the order, let the Sixth Army attack according to the original plan!" The cavalry group also immediately attacked, giving each cavalry corps the right to make decisions on the spot, and how to fight them was to see how to do it. ”
……
The brush in Zhu Jishi's hand shook, and a cloud of ink dripped on the letter written in front of him to Maria. Clementina's Epistle above. Feeling a little bored, he went to the window and pushed it open. Looking at the faint red light in the night sky in the distance to the east. The main force of the Sixth Army is fighting fiercely with the Americans, right? The office door opened, and Han Si walked in. Zhu Jishi turned around and saw Han Si holding a copy of the newspaper in his hand, and smiled at Zhu Jishi: "Your Majesty, King Juan's former enemy command post is calling, and the Missouri River cluster in the United States is retreating!" The main forces of the Sixth Army are about to launch a general offensive, and the armies along the Missouri River will also launch a general offensive, and will attack south as planned, and meet the Kansas cluster of the Confederate States of America...... Your Majesty, we have won, we have won a big victory! 1.2 million people defeated 1.8 million people...... King Juan can now take on the burden of the North American battlefield! ”
Zhu Jishi sighed slightly: "Breaking the army, this time I should let you or Shi Dare be in North America, this is the most appropriate way." But Juan, though he is my son, was not raised by me. He is also ambitious, and he is a little arrogant, so he won't listen to you veterans of the Ming army...... Fortunately, he also has some ability, and he used inferior forces to defeat the superior forces of the Americans. I am also relieved to have a son like this. It's just that his ambition always teaches me to be a little uneasy...... This time if it weren't for his collusion with Henry. When Bush starts a war, we will certainly be a little more prepared. ”
Han Si was speechless for a while, why did Zhu Jishi suddenly talk to him about this at night? He looked around in embarrassment, this kind of topic was not something he could answer at all, so he had to quickly change the topic: "...... Chen Yucheng's First Army Command reported that the Kansas cluster of the Confederate States of America showed no signs of retreating and was still storming the First Army's defensive line with maximum offensive momentum. It seems that this Thomas. Jackson is in vain, and this time he will probably be surrounded by us in Kansas City. That's the main force of 600,000 people! Once annihilated, the Confederate States of America are finished! ”
These words really diverted Zhu Jishi's attention, but his brows tightened, "How can this be?" Thomas. Didn't Jackson know that the armies of the American Empire had retreated? The 600,000 troops in his hands are the lifeblood of the Confederate States of America! Most of the experienced officers in the Confederate countries were in the Kansas cluster, and if Juan was rounded, how would the Confederates organize resistance? In the current North American battlefield, the army does not mean that someone with a gun can pull it up! Without a large number of high-quality professional officers and non-commissioned officers, even if the army is barely organized, it will not be able to play its due role. Compared to the American Empire and the Kingdom of Donghua, the Confederate States of America have lagged behind in this regard. The quality of their military education is not high, the number of non-commissioned officers who have graduated over the years is not large, and there are no officer courses in universities (in the universities of Donghua and the American Empire, there are now reserve officer education), once the Kansas cluster is annihilated, it may be difficult for the Confederate States to organize a large corps in the short term. And a Confederate State of America without strong force is probably Henry. Bush's meal on the plate.
Zhu Jishi groaned for a moment, knocked on the table and said, "What a Henry. Bush, good one William. Sherman, they want to kill people with a knife, borrow our sword to kill the Confederate States of America, and then achieve unification! Gaozi, where is Gaozi? ”
Zhu Jishi shouted the name of Kusumoto Takako, and Han Si knew that Emperor Zhu was going to give it to Maria. Clementina has given instructions - this matter is now the responsibility of Takako Kusumoto, and no outsiders are to interfere. Han Si hurriedly gave Emperor Zhu a military salute, turned around and left the office, and almost bumped into the sleepy-eyed Kusumoto Takako at the door.
"Gaozi, call Maria, I want to see Mathilde, let's meet in Mexico." When Zhu Jishi saw Han Si leaving, he ordered in a low voice, "I want to discuss the partition of the Confederate States of America with Mathilde face to face, and let Mathilde come in person!" (To be continued......)
