"Also, the railroads east of the Mississippi River, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and other states and provinces, have long been dismantled and transported back by us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Moreover, until now, the Americans have only repaired a few horizontal railroads leading to the east bank of the Mississippi River, and as for the longitudinal railroads connecting the north and the south, they have not been repaired at all! Suppose the Americans want to attack us in the south, but with a powerful river fleet and strong fortifications, and 200,000 troops to defend, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that the Americans want to win with 320,000 troops!"

"Therefore, according to such inertial thinking, if we want to achieve such a strategic goal, we can only draw troops from the neighboring center line corps, but the straight-line distance from Lexington, where the headquarters of the American center line corps is located, to Memphis, where the headquarters of the southern front corps is located, is also thousands of kilometers, and in the absence of railways and the river is controlled by us, the transfer of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if there is no logistical drag, and the weather is good, it will take at least two weeks to make it possible. ”

"In this way, with the intelligence and reconnaissance efficiency of our military intelligence bureau and the security bureau, I am afraid that we have long been aware of the military movements of the Americans and made targeted deployments, and the military strategy of the Americans has lost its suddenness, and it will become useless. If we can think of this, we must be able to think of William Kusette Sherman and Joseph Johnston, these old American generals who were tested by the flames of war. Therefore, if they want to launch an offensive on the southern front. Then there will only be a secret transfer of troops from the northern and central fronts, or they may well have other military forces hidden enough to change the entire situation of the war!"

As soon as Wang Xiangzong's words fell, Wu Guangzong didn't even think about it. Then he shouted to the door: "Han Chengguang, come in for me immediately!"

Before his words fell, a young soldier wearing the army uniform of the Huo Family Army and carrying the military medal of the second lieutenant on his shoulder, after hearing the call, hurriedly pushed the door and strode in.

As Wu Guangzong's guard, Han Chengguang has been by his side for nearly four years. Therefore, in addition to the young master who created the powerful force of the Huo family army and once taught him a lesson. Wu Guangzong is the person he respects the most.

"Commander, what's the matter?"

"You immediately go to the Military Intelligence Agency and the Security Bureau, and ask them to immediately check the number of soldiers in the three major regiments of the Americans. I want results in three days!Go quickly!" Wu Guangzong frowned tightly. He commanded in a calm tone.

"Yes, Commander!" for the first time, I saw the commander who seemed confident and steady in the past, but now he became preoccupied. Although Han Chengguang was a little surprised in his heart, he quickly wrote down the order and ran out quickly.

"Xiangzong, I hope your concerns and my guesses are wrong, otherwise we will have a hard time fighting this battle!" Wu Guangzong, who looked back at Han Chengguang's back and disappeared at the door, sighed lightly. Said slowly.

After listening to his words, for a moment. The mood of the three of them was a little heavy, if the Americans tried to transfer troops from the central north, it would be fine, but if they really still hid a powerful military force that could change the tide of the war, then now the entire defense line of the Huo family army would be in danger of overturning!

Thinking of these, with the stability of the hearts of the three people, they couldn't help but be secretly awe-inspiring!

"No, Commander, Xiangzong! We must send what we have just discussed to the Taiwan Military Headquarters, if the Americans really still have a large amount of military strength hidden and defend with our current military strength, then the military strategy we are pursuing now will be too conservative!" Wen Wen suddenly said urgently.

"Well, well!"

Originally, Wu Guangzong thought that he would wait for the Military Intelligence Agency and the Security Bureau to investigate the number of US troops before reporting it according to the situation, but it was obvious that the anxious civilization could not wait any longer after realizing the importance of this matter!

And now no one knows what stage the US ** team on the opposite side has been prepared to, maybe they will launch a new offensive in the next moment, so there is no time for Huo Jiajun to continue to hesitate.

And as the supreme commander of the Huo Jiajun American Theater, it is obvious that the three of them are not hesitant people. Therefore, they quickly scattered all the reconnaissance units of the various units under the Huo Jiajun, and their task was to monitor the specific movements of all the US ** teams within a hundred kilometers on the other side of the river, even if there was any trouble, they must report immediately!

Just when the Huo Jiajun was trying to find out whether the Americans were focusing on the Southern Front Corps and hiding a decisive strategic force, in the port city of Memphis on the east bank of the Mississippi River, there were also a group of generals standing at the top of the US side who were secretly worried about the strong fortress built by the Huo Jiajun!

Ulysses Simpson Grant put down the monocular in his hand and shook his neck, which had become a little stiff because he had been in one position for a long time, but there was a sadness between his eyebrows!

As one of the only five-star generals in the US Army, and also the formulator of the top-secret 'James' plan of the US War Department, he has heard and studied countless times about the huge fortress built by Chinese on the opposite shore with more than 200 large and small caliber shore defense guns, but when he really saw it, Grant really understood what it means to 'Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron'!

Memphis is not only the largest river port city outside of New Orleans on the lower reaches of the Mississippi River, but also the most important hub station on the southern line of the Pacific Railroad in the United States, playing an important role in linking the east and west of the United States!

Although, in the war in the previous years, the Huo family army sent a large number of troops to almost sweep away almost all the southeastern states and provinces except for the core areas such as the northeast of the United States, and not only obtained a large number of industrial equipment and high-level talents urgently needed for the development of the Huo family's military industry and commerce, but also made great efforts to destroy the road system of these states and provinces in the United States when they finally retreated, especially the railways that had a huge impact on transportation and the later war! It took a lot of energy for Huo Jiajun to destroy!

In particular, in addition to dismantling all the railroad tracks and transporting them back to the rear, Huo Jiajun dug up the roadbed of these railways in order to prevent the Americans from repairing and using them, so that the major arteries completely lost the possibility of repairing them in a short period of time!

After that, the Americans spent a lot of money, and then used the labor costs that had been compressed to the lowest point after the economic crisis, and it took nearly two years to rebuild several railways to the west, which provided the basis for the later war.

On the other hand, the Huo Jiajun also built powerful reinforced concrete fortifications on the other side of the river at the end of these railways, Pittsburgh, Huntington, Louisville, and other cities, firmly blocking the pace of the Americans trying to regain lost ground! Of course, these fortifications have also become the biggest obstacle in front of the US War Department, except for the Mississippi River and the Ohio River! It is also the target that the US Army must overcome!

"General Pierre, how are our artillery preparations?" Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Grant sighed faintly, and then turned to Pierre Beauret, who was standing behind him, with a serious and focused expression and an old face, but still unable to hide his military nature.

"General! The first 380 75mm caliber mountain artillery, 276 105mm caliber howitzers, 126 150mm caliber howitzers, and 82 155mm caliber cannons have all arrived in Nashville in the rear, and the remaining 36 203mm caliber heavy guns will also arrive in seven days! According to the 'James Plan,' the 900 artillery pieces of the artillery strike corps and the artillery that controls them will all be deployed in place on 25 December!"

Speaking of these powerful artillery units in his own hands, this 66-year-old veteran who was born at West Point, known as 'Little Napoleon', and has been restored to his military status as a 'four-star general' by the US War Department, and is responsible for commanding the most powerful artillery group in the history of the US Army, can't help but show an extremely fanatical look on his face!

No general who has come from the war years can resist the temptation of a powerful army and advanced weaponry, even if he is about to face an opponent who is even stronger than him!

After listening to his words, Grant nodded with a slightly relaxed expression, nine hundred artillery pieces were purchased by the United States from other countries in the past two years, plus all the belongings produced by its own military factory! The reason why these artillery pieces were gathered together was to be able to move away from the strong position in front of the US Army in front of him, as well as the large number of inland river warships deployed by the Chinese on the Mississippi River!

I believe that as long as this gap can be opened, then the southern corps of the Huo Family Army, which has only 200,000 troops and is mostly black servant troops with low combat effectiveness, will not be able to stop the attack of the US ** team at all.

And the more than one million troops in the north of the United States will also do their best to drag the two corps of the Chinese on the northern front, and the US ** team on the southern front will be able to use the railroad built by the Chinese along the Mississippi River to quickly go north, cut off the logistical supply of the two most powerful corps in the north of the Huojia Army, and form a huge encirclement with the northern troops of the United States, and then gradually eliminate the squadron ** trapped in this encirclement little by little! )
