In World War I, the U.S. Second Corps was defeated, more than 9,300 U.S. troops were killed and wounded, more than 10,000 prisoners were captured, and a complete victory in the Hongyan Valley was won, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders of the Tang Kingdom.

Looking back at the entire 26 days of fighting, from May 15 to June 9, the defenders of Hongyan Valley killed and wounded more than 21,000 American troops (including some supplementary troops), captured more than 10,000 people, and the Second Corps of the Western Expeditionary Army was completely disabled.

It lost 1,952 people, including 872 killed and 1,080 wounded, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides exceeded an astonishing 10.5:1, which once again confirmed the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom.

Of course, this is not a battle loss ratio achieved in a fair field environment, but one side is fighting with strong fortifications, and the other side launches a tactical attack with a sea of people, which is somewhat watery.

"Well done, old Karn, I am pleased with the fact that such a brilliant record is enough to earn the title of a count's nobleman." Richard said with a happy expression on his tall horse.

His Majesty's personal promise made old Karn almost from his brow to his eyes reveal sincere joy, and he sat down on his horse and bowed humbly; "The Kahn family is willing to be the sword of His Majesty, sweeping away all the despicable forces hostile to the Tang Kingdom, always remembering the inscriptions of loyalty, bravery, fearlessness, and humility, loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to the royal family, loyal to the knightly mission, and willing to pay with their lives for it."

"Well said Karn, I need you to do a better job of sweeping these remnants away." Richard stretched out his hand and pulled at the US military camp in the distance, then turned his head with a smile and said to the new Chief of Staff of the Army, Major General Dai Changfu; "Hehehe...... I didn't expect the United States to be so careless, and it had arranged so many backhands before, and basically didn't use it. Seeing that the summer harvest is approaching, we can now relax the plan and not allow the US troops to cross the Hongyan Valley until the end of July, so as not to affect the important summer harvest work. ”

"Your Majesty, it is not wrong to be lenient with the enemy and make more preparations, but it's a pity that the United States is not angry! Looking at today, not everyone has His Majesty so holy. Major General Dai Changfu was very funny, and reached out and slapped his ass.

King Richard smiled, turned his gaze back to Brigadier General Karn, and asked; "How's that...... Difficult? ”

"There is indeed one point, the main thing is that the defenders of the Red Rock Valley are under-manned." Old Karn was a straightforward man, and spoke directly about the difficulties of the moment;

"Our army has a total of more than 6,000 infantry, leaving more than 1,000 people to guard the valley position, and the other more than 5,000 people have killed out of the valley, and cooperated with 3,000 cavalry to carry out a comprehensive counterattack, and have achieved brilliant results.

There are two most important tasks at the moment;

One is to count the captured and bury the corpses of the US soldiers who dug the pit on the spot, because the temperature is very hot, the corpses will decompose quickly after 24 hours, and it is easy to cause large-scale epidemics, so this work cannot be delayed.

Our army also has a large number of wounded who need to be treated, and the environment on the battlefield is harsh, so they must be evacuated immediately.

The second item is to separate and transform prisoners and use them as cannon fodder for siege and fortification, so as to quickly build up their own strength and prepare for the next war.

So

The more than 6,000 musketeers in the hands of Weichen are also responsible for the defense of the Hongyan Valley, and it is difficult to draw enough troops to surround and destroy the US battalion. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Richard glanced at the old Brigadier General Kahn quite meaningfully, knowing that he was giving credit to the outside, and he really deserved to be an old man, knowing that the benefits could not be obtained alone, and that would be thundered by the sky.

Wherever there are people, there is a conflict of interests.

It's not about loyalty, it's about morality, it's about human nature.

A large number of generals in the Tang Kingdom want to prove themselves on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and the old Kahn family will eat the credit, not only is it too ugly, but it will offend many people.

Is it difficult to dispose of the corpses of US soldiers?

This does not require the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom to do anything, just drive the American prisoners to dig a pit, and by the way, you can pick out some thorns and kill them on the spot and bury them together.

In these days, there are no Geneva Conventions, and winner-takes-all is the hardest truth.

As for the separation and transformation of prisoners, the Tang Kingdom has formed a complete set of processes, first of all, the middle and lower ranks and grassroots officers are selected, and the families of these people are likely to pay a high ransom, which is a tradition from Europe.

The remaining 500 people were directly formed into a team, each of whom only fired two bullets, and pressed the charge with the superintendent team equipped with heavy machine guns, and when the bullets ran out, they spoke directly with bayonets.

The last captive who survived and saw the blood of the enemy was a qualified servant soldier.

For example, the soldiers who were emotionally resistant, and Ai Ai was unwilling for a long time, were directly dragged to the side of the road to enforce military law, which was rude and clear, but the effect was excellent.

It is precisely because of this that the old Americans hate the most are the white servant soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, each of them has the blood of the old American on their hands, and they are more ferocious, more brutal, and more inhumane than the Chinese soldiers.

As long as it falls into the hands of the old Americans, there will be no life.

Every soldier who has truly become a white servant of the Tang Kingdom is very recognizable, because they will have a loyalty medal stamped on their chests, representing that they have been tested and loyal to the royal family of the Tang Kingdom.

Want to fight back...... There are no doors, let alone windows.

"Well, that's the case...... Changfu, I will give you another 2,000 cavalry, and pull out 40 captured artillery pieces for you, do you have the confidence to completely annihilate the remnants of the US Second Corps and take the US battalion? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen promises to completely annihilate the remnants of the enemy and take the US military camp, otherwise he is willing to come to see him."

"Well, that's it."

Richard waved his hand to make a decision, and then turned the dock and walked to the rear, leaving behind a surging sentence; "I'm waiting in the rear for the good news of your victory, don't forget, the Americans in Hugo's Oasis will not watch the Second Corps completely annihilated, and may have to make some moves."

"Weichen understands that a heavy firepower brigade consisting of 16 heavy machine guns will be dispatched, and if the United States dares to come, they will be disciplined to go around without food."

"Huh...... This king only looks at the result, not the process. ”

As Richard spoke, he had already led a group of military ministers away.

Only Major General Dai Changfu, Chief of Staff of the Army, and Brigadier General Kahn were left at the scene, and when their eyes met, they both revealed a smile of understanding, and then they laughed out loud.

Major General Dai Changfu will take over the command of 3,000 cavalry led by the Zhangzhou cuirass heavy cavalry regiment, plus 2,000 cavalry allocated by His Majesty the King, and there will be a strong mobile force of 5,000 cavalry.

The United States had only 2,500 light cavalry, plus less than 4,000 musketeers (Note; More than 1,700 wounded, not counted), is it an opponent?

The U.S. military camp was built with a rough wooden fence and was full of rugged North American style.

The timber came from the forests of the American heartland, traveled thousands of miles by train to the Burlington area, and then was transported by horse-drawn carriage for more than 260 kilometers to the front line.

The construction of this large US military camp alone cost countless dollars.

His Majesty's promise of 2,000 cavalry soon arrived, immediately surrounded the American camp from afar, and cut the long-distance telegraph line.

At this time, the news of the defeat had already been transmitted to the Hugo Oasis through the long-distance telegraph line, which was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and all the senior generals of the Western Expeditionary Army were completely stunned.

"God, how is this possible?" Lieutenant General Kanpur, commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, fell into his chair in shock, speechless for a long time.

Not only did Lieutenant General Temple behave at a loss, and a number of senior generals and staff officers of the US-Western Expeditionary Forces Command simply blew up their nests.

The heavy army group gathered on the Hugo Oasis made them full of confidence, and they waited for the second army to come to the good news, and then waved their troops to the Colorado Plateau, but who would have thought that the whole army would be wiped out?

This is outrageous, that's an army of 34,000!

Heavy machine gun ...... It was another terrible storm heavy machine gun, which completely crushed the will of the US 2nd Corps to resist.

The military newspaper at the front evoked terrible memories that the Western Expeditionary Army did not want to surface in the bottom of their hearts, and it was the third time that the US army had suffered heavy losses on a scale of more than 10,000 people, right?

The first was the "Battle of the Nameless Valley" in the First Northern Front War, in which the U.S. troops led by Major General Tris Spike encountered an ambush with heavy machine guns, and were defeated and lost, and Major General Tris Spike was also killed.

The second was in the Second Northern Front War, where Admiral Taylor, the hero of the Mexican War, led the main cavalry force and stepped into the trap of the madman King Richard, staging the tragedy of the "Battle of the Missouri River".

The third time was the "Battle of Red Rock Valley", and the American army fell into the same pit again......

It's scary to think about it!

The Storm heavy machine gun has become a haunting nightmare for the US Federal Army, and it is a highly efficient killing machine, but the Americans cannot develop this kind of weapon, which is only unique to the Tang Kingdom.

"Your Excellency, Commander, other issues can be discussed later, and the top priority is to urgently send cavalry to receive General Schneider's headquarters from the front camp safely, so as to avoid the terrible situation of the annihilation of the entire army!" Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Bob Wingraub said with a worried expression.

Lieutenant General Arthur Temple awoke from his contemplation, hesitated, and said with a gloomy face; "If the army of the Tang Kingdom arranges heavy machine gun traps on the road, then our cavalry will send people to the head, do you have any good way to solve it?"

"Uh...... This ......"

"Hmph, can you think of sending a cavalry unit to meet it immediately, that mad king can't think of it? I'm afraid he's waiting for me to step in? ”

"What then?"

"Immediately telegraph General Schneider's headquarters and tell him to abandon all his baggage, and lead his troops into the desert by starry night, moving closer to the direction of Hugo's Oasis, and the base camp will send search cavalry to meet them back." Lieutenant General Arthur Temple made up his mind decisively and said word by word.

With the strength of the American cavalry, it is not enough to compete one-on-one with the strong cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, and it often takes 1 to 2, or even 1 to 3, to barely achieve a balance of power.

This is because the U.S. army does not have cuirassier heavy cavalry, and all cavalry is light cavalry. Second, most of the US cavalry is a rookie, with serious lack of combat experience and relatively low combat effectiveness. Third, there is a gap in weapons and equipment.

The Battle of the Missouri River led by Admiral Taylor was a crushing defeat, losing not only tens of thousands of elite cavalry, but also cavalry-style revolvers that had just been equipped, all of which fell into the hands of the enemy.

From General Schneider's military newspaper, it is known;

The Tang Kingdom even equipped this elite weapon into the hands of musketeers, and dealt a fatal blow to the attacking American army in the battle of Hongyan Valley, and the losses were unbearable, which really made people spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

You must know that the arsenals in the rear of the US army are in a hurry, and this new cavalry revolver musket is not fully equipped with cavalry units, only about half.

Lieutenant General Arthur Temple's decision seemed ruthless, which meant that General Schneider's headquarters would abandon more than 1,700 wounded American troops, untie the horses, mules and other large animals that dragged carts, and provide some musketeers of the US Second Corps to ride, and break through the blockade and escape into the desert with the cavalry at night.

This trick is the only feasible solution today.
