Chapter 298: Take advantage of the fire to rob Hugo Fortress

Major General Fan Pengfei did not rush to answer General Hill's question, a good hunter must be patient, after all, the United States is much more difficult to deal with than the Mexicans, but it is also much fatter.

He took the coffee from the officer of the US command, nodded and smiled in thanks, and said; "It smells great, thank you, Mr. Lieutenant."

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Your Excellency General."

"Listening to your accent is Tennessee, am I right?"

"Yes, but how do you know ......"

"Ahem...... Lieutenant, you can go down. General Hill coughed dryly, interjected stiffly, and sent the little lieutenant away.

General Hill is now the commander-in-chief of the Kansas Legion, and after the great war he has just experienced, the 100,000 urgent things of the army are so complicated, how can he have time to sit here and brag about the mountains?

The Northern Army's fierce attack in the morning alone caused huge casualties of no less than three or four thousand men in the Kansas Corps, several fronts were broken through, the high ground on the left was now in the hands of the enemy, and the front-line troops were depleted of ammunition and urgently needed to be replenished.

The more than 2,000 officers and men who had just come in for reinforcement had not yet been properly arranged, the positions needed to be reinforced, and the heavy machine guns needed to be rationally allocated.

"Tell me straight, Your Excellency, my time is very limited, I can only give 5 minutes, how can you help us?"

"Everything you want."

"Please make it clear, will the Tang Kingdom send troops? Will it bring the weapons, ammunition and military equipment we need, as well as tens of thousands of reinforcements? ”

"Uh...... Question 1: Let's be honest...... No. "Since General Hill is so anxious to get angry, Major General Fan Pengfei will not go around in circles.

As soon as his words fell, General Hill's face darkened.

If the Tang Kingdom does not send troops, then you are still forcing here, do you really see my idle egg pain?

General Hill was not in the mood to continue talking nonsense, and suddenly stood up and prepared to walk outside.

After the war, I don't know when the Northern Army will make a comeback, and we must make up for the lack of defense line as soon as possible.

"But you have tens of thousands of living forces of your own, and we can help to arm them all, strengthen no less than 20 heavy machine guns, and organize them to enter the battlefield from the west and flank the enemy's weak right flank...... Don't know how this suggestion is? Major General Fan Pengfei sat firmly on the chair, and the old god said.

His words made Hill General Huo Ran stop, turned his head and said in surprise and joy; "Really?"

"It's not true, there are still more than 4,800 officers and soldiers stationed in the Hugo Fortress, from the Hugo Fortress all the way to the east, there are a total of 7 towns, each town can be armed with 400~1000 volunteer militia, only need some experienced officers and sufficient armaments, plus a piece of order, they will be able to appear on the battlefield at this time tomorrow to flank the old in the north, and take them by surprise."

Major General Fan Pengfei took a sip of coffee unhurriedly, and an indescribable ugly expression suddenly appeared on his face, this damn coffee is bitter, astringent, scum and earthy, at least half of it is dust, this Nima is mud, right?

He swallowed with the discomfort, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his lips, deciding not to touch the damn coffee anymore before speaking; "We happen to have experienced officers and some stockpiled munitions, and now we need a piece of paper from General Hill, you see...... It's that simple to defeat the other party. ”

"If that's the case...... So won't all the town defenses along the more than 800 kilometers of railroad from Hugo Fortress to Kansas City fall into your hands? ”

"That's not true." Major General Fan Pengfei shook his head and said with a look of regret that I sincerely helped you, and you actually doubted me; "There are only two possibilities for choosing before Your Excellency the General;

One is that according to the way I said, within 30 hours between now and tomorrow noon, the headquarters of the Southern Army will give you reinforcements of no less than 12,000 troops, and then join more than 10,000 surprise troops in the west to flank and assault.

You have a 60% chance that you can defeat the enemy in front of the Northern Army, completely break the siege of Kansas City, and lay the foundation for a reversal victory in one battle.

The other is to continue the current tug-of-war, even with the 12,000 reinforcements from the Southern Army Headquarters, the total strength of the Kansas Regiment does not exceed 50,000, facing Sherman's 140,000 troops.

Most of the Southern Army had been fighting hard for more than a week, while the Northern Army commanded by Sherman was still able to maintain a relatively strong fighting spirit due to its absolute superiority in strength and the fact that all units took turns to fight.

If it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will not last for a few days......

Please ask Your Excellency the General to make a clear decision as soon as possible.

Whether it is Hugo Fortress or the small town along the railway, as long as the relationship between the south and my Tang Kingdom is not completely broken, this territory is still yours, and no one can take it away.

The Tang Kingdom is just a friendly help to avoid being invaded by the old north, and there is no need to read too much.

If it falls into the hands of the Northern Army, it will be difficult to take it back. ”

Major General Fan Pengfei's voice was like the temptation of the devil, which made General Hill's expression visibly shaken, temporarily withdrawing the troops stationed at the border to join the volunteer militia in the railway towns along the way, and indeed be able to form a living force of tens of thousands of people.

If led by an experienced officer, this is a wonder soldier.

The current situation is obvious, the Yugoslav army is more well-trained, more combat-ready, in most battles with less to many, and is able to gain the upper hand.

The uniforms of the northern army are messy, the combat effectiveness is low, but there are many people, as long as they go through a few bloody battles, their impact power cannot be underestimated.

The Kansas Legion suffered this great loss, although they had the upper hand in this round of siege battles, killing and wounding more than 40,000 enemy troops, almost double their own casualties.

However, due to the huge disparity in troops, the situation has become even more critical.

Although the Southern Headquarters is still trying its best to mobilize reinforcements, two or three trains of reinforcements per day are not of great use at all, and the daily combat consumption and casualties are as high as 4 to 5,000, and the battle situation cannot be completely changed.

What Major General Fan Pengfei said is indeed reasonable, at a critical time, a new force will fight out from the flank and cooperate with the all-out counterattack of the side, and it is indeed possible to defeat the old in the north, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up the past......

The problem is; The Tang Kingdom is not a good bird!

Just as General Hill hesitated, General Simpson poked him and said with a big grin; "Your Excellency, I think what General Fan said is very reasonable, no matter what...... Get through this difficult time before talking about other things. Hugo's Fortress fell into the hands of friendly forces, which is a headache for the big man above, and both sides can't turn their faces, right? ”

"General Simpson can see that the war loan given by the Tang Kingdom to the south has reached 450 million yuan, and the entire borderless land in Kansas has been mortgaged to us, why do you want to covet a Hugo fortress? Can it be worth that much money? Major General Fan Pengfei sneered very cooperatively.

General Hill and Major General Simpson moved, judging from the current situation, the Tang Kingdom and the south are not an alliance or an alliance, first of all, this huge war loan is not fake, and the massive supply of materials to the south is not fake.

This was so deceptive that General Hill was lost in thought;

Why don't you leave the border defense to potential allies for the time being and get through the immediate crisis?

It has to be said; Who plays with what birds?

King Richard is a master who has not had enough of the advantage, and has seized the eight northern states of Mexico through war, and is plotting against Mexico City and the surrounding prosperous places, and his eyes are still on the Aztec Republic in the south, and he is the puppet government of the country.

Through the victory of the first Sino-Tang War, the Tang Kingdom occupied the six northern states of the United States, and plotted to build the Great Lakes heavy industry area with the Chicago metropolis as the core......

If something is good, it will be effective.

It's not ...... Major General Fan Pengfei adhered to the meaning of the General Staff Headquarters and took advantage of the old crisis in the south to fall into the ground.

This kind of hypocritical behavior is like the next-door neighbor can't open the pot, and if he continues to hold on, the whole family may starve to death. So, the Tang Kingdom took the initiative to put your little girl in my place to raise, and when your family's life improves, this is what it means.

What does the Hugo Fortress Line mean?

This is a natural geographical barrier between the United States and the Tang Kingdom, consisting of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert and the Gobi Desert, and Hugo Fortress is a high wall blocking the westernmost area, and its importance is self-evident.

After more than ten years of painstaking management by the United States, the Hugo Fortress has been repeatedly strengthened, heightened and widened, and various forts and defensive trenches have been set up, and the local garrison and residents have reached more than 10,000 people.

It can be said that this is a majestic city standing on the Gobi Desert, a large fortress born for war, there are two reservoirs alone, and the railway can go directly to the inside of the fortress.

If in wartime, the army of the Tang Kingdom wants to gnaw down this line of defense, and the casualties of 20,000 or 30,000 people are considered to be small, if the US reinforcements are timely, then if the fortress is conquered, it is not enough to count how much the army of the Tang Kingdom will have to spend.

From Hugo Fortress to the east to Kansas City about 810 kilometers (Hugo to the west to the Red Rock Valley Fortress there are more than 60 kilometers), there is a post station every more than 100 kilometers along this railway, and now it has developed into a small town, with a varying number of garrisons and police, which can break down the railway at any time according to the instructions of the upper peak, and block the continuous invasion of the Tang Kingdom army into the inland plains of the United States.

If a war is waged against the United States, this is an unavoidable obstacle.

If the seven towns along the route work together to destroy the railway line, how long will it take to recover?

By that time, there were no fighters left, and the Americans were able to quickly mobilize strong military and civilian forces to form a new strong defensive line in Kansas City and start a bloody tug-of-war with the invading Tang Kingdom army......

It is still unknown who killed the deer?

Losing control of Hugo's fortress and the 7 small towns along the route is equivalent to opening the door to the army of the Tang Kingdom armed to the teeth without protection, and the danger can be imagined.

If the Tang Kingdom is guarding the Hugo Fortress, then it will form the Hugo Fortress, the Red Rock Valley Fortress and the Phoenix Fortress, and behind the Phoenix Fortress there are river defense lines and Taoyuan Valley Fortress Fortress, which can be said to be a formidable super-large fortress group, which is simply impregnable.

If the army of the Tang Kingdom controlled the seven small towns along the railway, and the easternmost forces reached Manhattan, then the Great Plains with an unobstructed view of millions of square kilometers to the east, south, and north of Kansas City would pose a real threat.

The offensive and defensive momentum is also shifting!

The powerful cavalry units of the Tang Kingdom, which are known all over the world, can easily enter and exit the Great Plains region of the central United States as if they were going home, and dozens of cities and towns within this range are all under the threat of the cavalry and iron cavalry of the Tang Empire.
