Chapter 314: Assault on Kansas

The events of Victory Day brought the whole of North America back to the focus of the world, but it was more than ten days later due to the delay in the transmission of information in the times.

January 15, 1860.

Central Kansas Battlefield

At around 9:50 a.m., the sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the cold wind is howling in the field, making people feel no warmth at all, revealing the coldness and loneliness of winter.

On the defensive line built by the US army, you can see a circle of barbed wire, shallow trenches, and civil and wooden breastwalls fixed by crossed wooden posts, and the lazy US soldiers are hiding behind the defense line, holding rifles in their hands, gathering in groups to chat, and they are not at all able to lift their spirits for this boring and boring defense task.

These American soldiers in the middle and lower classes, 9 out of 9 are vulgar and illiterate people who can't read a lot of words, and they don't care at all about the political changes in the upper echelons and the situation in North America.

In a dense bush about 2 kilometers away from the American defense line, Major Fan Pengju and his cavalry regiment lurked here, and behind the cavalry regiment was a large black oppressive force, and there was no edge in sight.

Major Fan Pengju looked at Brigadier General Lin Feng, the division commander not far away, with a slightly nervous expression, and saw Brigadier General Lin Feng and several high-ranking officials of the division headquarters observing the enemy situation with brass monoculars, and looking at the watch in their hands from time to time.

The time for the general attack to be launched was getting closer and closer, and even Brigadier General Lin Feng, who had always been calm, couldn't help but have an anxious look on his face.

As a veteran of the Crimean War and a comrade-in-arms of Major General Fan Pengfei, deputy commander of the Northern Corps, Lin Feng now serves as the brigadier commander of the 303rd Division of the Class A Field Division, which is subordinate to the Colorado Corps under the Central Military Region.

After the launch of the general offensive

The 303rd Division was responsible for quickly tearing a big hole on the south side of the US defensive line, and then quickly inserted forward with a ferocious and decisive attack, seizing the fatal shortcoming of the enemy's slow response, cooperating with friendly troops to seize the Kansas railway station, and firmly holding the area to block the main railway line where the enemy troops fled south.

Since the 303rd Division and friendly troops are responsible for blockading the southern part of Kansas City, there must be another unit blocking the northern Kansas City railroad line, and there must also be mobile units that will intervene in a roundabout way to block the eastern Kansas City railroad line, so as to encircle the enemy regiments and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This was a fatal blow launched by the Colorato Corps with all its might, and with the cooperation of 31,000 soldiers of the Confederate Army under General Hill, the troops invested were as high as more than 180,000 men, striving to swallow all the Northern Army in Kansas City in one bite and fight a bitter annihilation battle.

Now, not only Brigadier General Lin Feng felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders, but His Excellency Lord Harry Fledge, the Chief of the Corps, was also bearing a mountain of pressure on his shoulders and did not dare to relax at all.

Because His Majesty the King is here, he is on the front line to supervise the battle.

The Colorado Corps must win this battle cleanly, and if this long-prepared siege and annihilation battle is turned into a muffled cannon, His Excellency Lord Harry Fretch, the commander of the Corps, who has the reputation of "Breaking Hammer", will not be able to explain to His Majesty, and he will be ashamed to death, and the only way to retreat is to ask for resignation.

The competition among the high-level generals of the kingdom army is extremely fierce, and if you can't do it well, you can get down, and there are many high-ranking generals who can excel.

His Excellency Lord Harry Fledge, because in the Third Tang-American War (the third Western Expedition of the United States), led the Northern Cavalry Corps to rush into the Great Lakes region, bloody countless towns and cities, and killed American Yankees crying fathers and mothers, which greatly dealt a blow to the war potential of the American army, effectively supported the frontal battlefield, and made outstanding contributions to the final victory of the third Tang-American War.

His Excellency Lord Harry Fletsch was able to defeat other competitors and become the commander of the most powerful mobile field regiment in the Tang Kingdom.

Therefore, the first shot of this opening must be fired, and it must be played cleanly and beautifully.

When the Corps Commander's Department was deploying for the campaign, it repeatedly stressed that "all officers and men must not be afraid of sacrifice, forge ahead bravely, advance rapidly with resolute and resolute movements, and resolutely complete the combat mission regardless of the cost, otherwise they will come to see each other." ”。

The murderous order of the corps headquarters was conveyed to the division headquarters, and after the division headquarters increased the code, it was conveyed to the regiment headquarters, and the whole army could feel this heavy pressure, waiting to be completely released at the last moment......

Bragging doesn't work, it's the mule or the horse that comes out for a walk.

Which army doesn't have a trump card dream in its heart!

In peacetime, there is no less sweat on the training ground, and there is no less blood in the war, looking at the arrogant appearance of the ace, it is false to say that there is no envy.

The whole army held their breath and waited for the moment when the order to attack was issued......

In the distance, there was a faint sound of assembly horns on the US defense line, and soon a large group of US troops poured out of the defense line, looking at this appearance, it seemed that they were ready to practice or make some kind of reputation, Major Fan Pengju was confused anyway.

Turning his head to look at Brigadier General Lin Feng, the division commander, he saw a relieved smile on his face, let go of the monocular in his hand with a long sigh of relief, and gave an order with a smile on the corner of his mouth;

"The whole cavalry regiment got on the horse and prepared for the assault."

I saw that in the dense bushes, countless figures stepped on the war horses, and the bushes could no longer cover their figures, and the traces of the cavalry brigade were suddenly revealed, and they would soon be discovered by the American army.

But at this time, even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter.

The 303rd Division was not without preparations before the battle, and through the channel of the Southern Alliance Army, they finally contacted a certain commander of the Northern Army, that is, the commander of the defensive line in front of them, and persuaded him to surrender to the enemy before the anti-water array.

Many commanders in the North and South of the United States know each other, and even used to be close friends, so it is not difficult to get in touch.

For example, the commander of the Northern Army on the other side of the defense line was extremely dissatisfied with the "Emancipation Proclamation" issued by President James Buchanan, which was not only a serious violation of the property of northern slave owners, but also made the arrogant white northerners feel extremely humiliated.

When did black slaves become people?

When will blacks be able to fight alongside whites?

Isn't that?

Many white northern slave owners simply could not accept such a chaotic fate, they felt extremely disgusted with the blacks in the barracks, and the discrimination and exclusion of strong targets were omnipresent, and even caused a large-scale restlessness in the entire northern army, which led to more than a dozen serious incidents of officers against the water.

In the middle of the 19th century

This was an era of serious discrimination against blacks, and even free blacks in the north who accidentally stepped on the shadow of a Caucasian woman while walking would be beaten to death in the street.

If you don't look at a Caucasian woman with embarrassment, you will be hanged in the street.

Free blacks in the North must walk down the street with their heads bowed and bowed down the corners, and they must stop and show enough humility when they meet a white gentleman passing by.

Blacks were not allowed to ride in horse-drawn carriages, to restaurants and bars, to enter libraries and theaters, and to stand side by side with whites in public gatherings......

What the hell is the Emancipation Proclamation?

How could President James Buchanan be able to influence the property of white slave owners?

Who is to blame for the enormous wealth accumulated by white slave owners for more than 100 years?

Such a president, such a regime, still have to die for him?

A strong black slave is worth 800~1500 US dollars, a beautiful female black slave can even be sold for 3000 US dollars, how much is a few dozen or hundreds of black slaves?

It's all private wealth! Whoever loses is heartbroken, and this is the real reason for the fluctuation of the morale of the middle and high-ranking officers in the northern army.

This is no longer blocking people's money like killing parents, but robbing openly!

It was the insight into the inner weaknesses of the northern officers that the Colorado Corps carried out a targeted rebellion, and the effect seemed to be great.

The means used are also very simple, they are nothing more than inducements.

If you lose 50 black slaves, then compensate you 100, 150 if 100 doesn't work, 200 if you can't do it, so you can't move at every turn?

Promising the other party a military position is not the most important thing, after all, as long as it is possible, no one wants to fight, go back and be a rich man in peace, isn't it fragrant?

"All of you!"

Brigadier General Lin Feng, commander of the 303rd Division, stepped onto his horse, pointed forward with the bright command knife in his hand, and countless cavalry instigated the horses to start accelerating, and soon galloped wildly.

Countless horses' hooves struck the earth, causing the earthquake to tremble.

Thousands of war horses rushed out of the hidden bushes and began to speed up, and the cavalrymen were holding bright sabers, which had already shone into a sea of swords, revealing a cold and murderous aura under the refraction of the sun.

The field of vision was on the bald eagle flying high in the sky, and several cavalry could be seen on the 10-kilometer-long defensive line, which was rapidly rushing towards the American defensive line, and then plunged into it fiercely, breaking through the open gate.

Except for some gunfire that was not dense, the punctual general attack launched at 10:00 turned out to be extremely smooth, and the cavalry that broke through the American defense line spread like a flood, and behind them was the army of the Tang Kingdom, which was pressed by the black pressure, and the tide surged up wave after wave, sweeping towards Kansas City......

Hearing the gunshots on the outskirts of the city, the Georgia Corps in Kansas City was completely stunned at this time, asking Zhang San didn't know, asking Li Si didn't know, and ran to the corps headquarters to ask the commander and didn't know what happened?

It wasn't until the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom that rushed over the mountains brandishing sabers that the American soldiers of the Georgia Corps reacted, and then there was a chaotic melee, chaotic running around, and chaotic organizational resistance......

The shouts of killing everywhere shook the sky, and the infantry of the Tang Kingdom, which followed the cavalry that soon rushed up, lined up in a neat queue to cover up, and round after round of deadly gun strikes made the American soldiers who resisted for a short time collapse again, leaving a large number of corpses to flee back to the city.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion and failure to organize an effective counterattack, the 303rd Division and friendly troops quickly thrust forward, and after defeating more than a dozen large and small groups of enemies along the way, they fully occupied the Kansas Railway Station at 11:55 p.m., cutting off the main railway line for the northern army in the city to flee to the south.

After completing the mission, the 303rd Division immediately reorganized its army, relying on the sturdy buildings of the railway station and the trains to arrange the defensive line, preparing to deal with the fierce counterattack of the American army.

The total number of U.S. troops in Kansas City is as high as nearly 60,000, and even if some of them are wiped out in the early stage of the fierce attack, all of them add up to about 10,000 casualties, and their strength is still there.

Moreover, although the Northern Army was slow to react, disorganized, and the quality of its officers was low, it was an army after a bloody battle, and the White People's Militia did not lack the spirit of sacrifice, so it was not so easy to swallow in one bite.

After the initial panic, as long as the upper echelons of the Georgia Corps began to organize a counterattack, a bloody battle was inevitable.
