Ewell's heart is still very good, reminding Wang Feng not to rescue Atlanta easily, because Atlanta is located between the mountains and steep valleys in the mountains of northern Georgia, this kind of terrain, although it can provide defensive convenience, but once captured, it will become a strong position for the enemy, unfortunately, the strongholds on the periphery of Atlanta have all fallen.

Wang Feng nodded, and asked again: "So, if we don't move, how long can Atlanta hold out?" ”

Ewell said tangledly: "Sherman brought 80,000 troops over, Grant still has 70,000 troops on hand, and the militia in Tennessee can also be reinforced at any time, if you attack at any cost, at most a week, Atlanta will be lost, not to mention that Covington is only twenty miles away from Atlanta, it is not ruled out that Sherman will secretly send some troops back to Atlanta to assist Grant." ”

Ewell is really entangled, on the one hand, the loss of Atlanta is a catastrophic consequence, will greatly destroy the morale of the Southern military and civilians, Lincoln can also take advantage of the victory in the Battle of Atlanta to become a second president, on the other hand, the success rate of the rescue is indeed not high, if the casualties are too heavy, the Chinese will definitely withdraw, and the American South will be finished.

Wang Feng was also thinking about this question, and asked for a while before asking, "What is the weather like in Atlanta in September?" ”

"Huh?" Ewell didn't understand, but replied, "September is the dry season in Atlanta, and it doesn't rain much. “

Wang Feng looked up at the sky, the weather was clear, white clouds were floating, the wind of three to four levels was not in a hurry, and the temperature was about 25 degrees. The wind at night is about the same as during the day, and the temperature is around fifteen degrees. It was indeed a pleasantly good weather, and it has been so for the last two days. But for Wang Feng, it couldn't be worse.

Wang Feng asked without giving up: "Has it always been this kind of wind force in September?" Is there a quiet wind? “

Aiwell didn't know what Wang Feng wanted to express, and after sorting out his memories of the past few years, he said, "It seems that this is the best season of the year in Atlanta." "Oh! Awful! Wang Feng screamed and asked, "Then you say...... Within a week, there are no sudden weather changes, such as cold spells, hurricanes. Or even a thunderstorm? ”

Ai Wei looked at Wang Feng very incomprehensibly and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, I am not familiar with the weather system, but I can be sure that the weather in September is very stable, there can be no cold wave, and hurricanes are almost impossible, but there is a little possibility of a thunderstorm." "Then pray to God and ask him for a thunderstorm!" Wang Feng patted Ewell's shoulder, then turned around and ordered, "Closely monitor the weather changes." Especially atmospheric pressure! "Yes!" The meteorological engineers accompanying the army saluted. "What a strange man!" Ewell muttered.

……

Wang Feng closely follows the weather changes, and for now, the wind direction is favorable for him, and the area around Atlanta. There is a marked change in wind direction in winter and summer, with winds from the Arctic Ocean prevailing in winter and Atlantic winds prevailing in summer. In other words, the summer is dominated by easterly or southeasterly winds. It's the tail of summer, and the wind is still east-southeast.

Covington is located east of the Sherman position. In such a position, casting a poison gas bomb will not poison himself, but if the wind is too strong, it will affect the effect, so Wang Feng needs a quiet wind period or a light wind period.

Generally speaking, after the cold wave, the air pressure rises, the wind will tend to be still, or before the thunderstorm, due to the increase in air humidity, the air will sink, so there will also be a quiet wind period, the most intuitive feeling is that it is very sultry.

Unconsciously, three days passed, the siege of Atlanta by the Northern Army was like a wave, and both sides paid heavy casualties, Grant's calculation was very simple, if China did not come to the rescue, then simply capture Atlanta, if China sent troops, he was confident to teach Chinese soldiers to plant a heel in the mountains.

"Oh God, don't we have reinforcements? Why haven't the reinforcements come yet? ”

"Are the Chinese here to see the play? We can't stand it anymore! ”

In the Southern Army, there were many complaints and dissatisfaction with the immobility of the Chinese army, and in Washington, both the Democrats and Republicans were also very concerned about this war, especially Lincoln, who demanded that the latest telegram be delivered to him within ten minutes, because it was a matter of his political life.

It can be said that the whole of the United States and even Europe are paying attention to the Battle of Atlanta, which is not only related to the future national fortunes of the United States, but also China, which has been in the limelight for the first time in the traditional territory of the whites, this is the counteroffensive of the yellow race against the white people.

Although the popularity of "Gone with the Wind" in Europe has made the American South gain a considerable degree of sympathy, and the disgust towards the Washington government has also increased accordingly, compared with Chinese, Americans are Caucasian after all, which can bring them a sense of psychological closeness.

This is a very complicated psychology, hoping that the Confederate States of America can resist the attack of the northern army and truly establish an independent state, but also do not want the Chinese to intervene and affect the development of the war situation.

The major newspapers and periodicals in Europe also invited all kinds of great gods to publish military commentaries one after another, analyzing the prospects of the Battle of Atlanta, and even what kind of impact the defeat of the South would have on China.

The most outrageous thing is that it was actually analyzed that China was defeated in the United States, and then Wang Feng's reckless militarism was questioned in China, coupled with the fanning of European and American forces, China's opposition to Wang Feng became stronger and stronger, and finally, at a mass demonstration rally, the Chinese government suppressed the demonstrators, which led to a series of riots, angry people took up arms to confront the government, China fell into a civil war, and was no longer able to support overseas Chinese, the six countries of the Chinese in Southeast Asia perished, and the Manchurians who were exiled to Australia were killed back to the mainland, The achievements of China's 10-year construction were destroyed in one fell swoop, and it once again became a hunting ground for the great powers.

This obviously unreliable argument actually ushered in a round of applause, and those experts also became celebrities.

On the evening of the third day, that is, on September 22, a meteorologist came to report: "Report to the commander-in-chief, there is a warm shear line in the Atlantic Ocean moving into the continent, the scale is medium, and it is expected to reach Atlanta tomorrow evening, with a probability of about 85%.

"Good!" Wang Feng shouted: "Observe closely!" ”

Although I couldn't wait for a thunderstorm, it is not bad to have a warm shear line moving into the continent, when the warm shear line transits, it is warm and humid, the temperature rises, the air pressure drops, the weather turns cloudy and rainy, it is not as strong as the cold front, it is mild, there may be continuous precipitation or fog, especially the increase of water vapor before the front, the air flow is gentle, and the probability of fog is quite large.

Sure enough, another day passed, and by noon, the clouds in the sky gradually increased, and the wind slowed down, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, it was already overcast and dense, and the wind further dropped to about one level, and a thin layer of fog covered the earth.

This is a good opportunity to use poison gas bombs, and this shear line is mesoscale, the range is only a few hundred kilometers, maybe the next light shower, it will cross the border in a few hours, Wang Feng did not dare to delay time, and immediately ordered the whole army to move and launch an attack on the Sherman position.

Aivel asked with some concern, "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, have you really decided to attack?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Feng nodded firmly: "Grant wants to lure me to the mountains to die, then I will gnaw off the Sherman Department first, and then surround Grant in turn and cut off his backup supplies, I want to see how long he can shrink in the mountains." "This ......," Ewell hesitated, "we only have more than 20,000 people, and the Sherman Department should have 60,000 or 70,000, this ......"

Ai Wei didn't say the rest of the words, obviously lacking confidence in Wang Feng, Wang Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Look at it." “

Sherman on the opposite side also saw that the Chinese army was moving, although he did not think that the Chinese army could capture his position, but he did not dare to be slow, and shouted: "Guys, the Chinese are coming, they are aggressors, for the honor of the United States, we must not take half a step back, we must withstand the attack of the Chinese, hurry, hurry, put the artillery up, and prepare for battle." ”

Due to the need to attack Atlanta in the mountains, Grant left all the heavy artillery to Sherman, about fifty of them, which were scattered throughout the position, which was obviously learned from the Democratic Union.

But the opposite side is even more terrifying, the Marine Corps only has two divisions of strength, but it is equipped with three artillery brigades, a total of 288 guns, of which 122 mm cannons and grenades account for half, that is, 144 guns, the barrels that are firmly raised towards the sky are fan-shaped, slowly moving forward in the hazy mist, bringing heavy psychological pressure to people, even if the northern army learned from the Chinese army to dig trenches, but this pressure is still lingering.

About ten kilometers away from the forward gun position of the Northern Army, the Chinese troops stopped, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the formation became even more tense.

"Hell!" Sherman couldn't help but curse angrily: "The Chinese calculated the distance really accurately, damn it, why can't our artillery go further!" ”

Everyone around them shrugged their shoulders and exchanged helpless expressions, technology is backward, who can blame this?

"Huh?" A moment later, someone exclaimed: "What are the Chinese doing?" ”

The artillery at the forefront of the Chinese army did not rush to open fire, but helped each other one after another, wearing a kind of gray-black bulky clothes, covering their whole bodies tightly, including their heads and faces.

This strange situation is the first time I have seen it, I hope for a telescope, my eyes don't blink, I look closely, and Iwell doesn't understand: "This is ......"

Wang Feng said lightly: "The show is about to be staged." (To be continued.) )
