The fierce battle all night reached a climax at more than 3 o'clock, and the defensive line of the Snow Mountain Division, which had repelled five large-scale attacks by the US troops in a row, ushered in the most severe test.

The crazy soldiers of the Northern Army no longer have a formation, and they are hunched over the battlefield full of corpses, and they are less than 100 meters away from the defense line, and they don't know how many soldiers of the Northern Army are under black pressure?

At this critical time

Dozens of heavy machine guns on the entire front suddenly burst into force, frantically devouring human lives with a chain of fiery death bullets, like 10 death scythes, beating those attacking American soldiers to the point of broken bones and bones, and falling to the ground like mowing grass, adding a touch of cruelty to this intense bloody night.

This sudden heavy blow with a combined blow, and the ultra-efficient harvesting of human lives, suddenly woke up the numb attacking American soldiers, and a huge fear immediately enveloped everyone, and they had to retreat like a tide.

The Orientals were too insidious, so many heavy machine guns were hidden and not used until the last dangerous moment, and they were suddenly taken out, which simply made the upright northern old man cry without tears.

Seeing that he was only a line away from victory, but was driven into the abyss, this kind of despair can only be deeply experienced by the US military commanders who are facing the victory ecstasy, and the whole spirit collapses.

From 3:40 p.m. onwards, the U.S. forces did not organize an effective offensive again, their tenacious will to fight was destroyed, and most of them had resigned themselves to their fate.

I've never seen such a war, it's too bullying.

When the dawn comes

The front is about 10 kilometers wide and 2.7 kilometers long, and the corpses are all over the battlefield of Garden City, and the closer to the third line of defense of the Snow Mountain Division, the more corpses are piled up on top of each other, and the blood is soaked in this wilderness, and the weeds must grow more unscrupulously in the coming year.

This night of fighting down

The Me-Sherman Corps lost 18,500 troops again, plus the more than 11,000 people lost yesterday, a total loss of 29,600 people, minus more than 10,000 blocking troops, and when it went south, it lost dozens of large and small battles with the three cavalry divisions of the Tang Kingdom, and now the remaining troops are less than 62,000, and their vitality is greatly damaged, and their will to fight has been seriously defeated.

It must be repaired, even if it is only half a day's work, or the northern army will bomb the camp itself.

Sit on the mound

General Sherman's eyes were cloudy as he looked at the south, and a large number of southern elders were picking up the corpses, carrying the dead bodies to the wagon, and then transporting them to the rear of the battlefield for centralized processing.

But these old wise people in the south did not cross the middle line, and only within about 1 kilometer of the position of the Snow Mountain Division, they did not dare to get too close to the Northern Army.

Roughly counting, there are about 13,400 people and more than 100 wagons, cleaning up the aftermath for the American soldiers.

Staying in the battle line, the soldiers of the Northern Army could also see these old figures of the South from a distance, but no one went to shoot them or let them vent their anger at defeat, which made no sense.

Whether on the Eastern Front or the Western Front, the North and the South in the US Civil War maintained a certain tacit understanding that each side would clean up its own battlefield and would not take the initiative to attack these personnel.

Perhaps, this is the last respect for the dead soldiers!

The brutal war annihilates humanity, but there is still a glimmer of conscience, and it is the tacit insistence of the soldiers not to raise the muzzle of the gun to those who clean the battlefield.

Who knows how long it will be before there will be a violent corpse in the wilderness?

A brass monocular might have been able to see more clearly, but General Sherman didn't mean that at all, he just looked indifferently into the distance, as if he could already see his own miserable future......

If you can't break through, there is only a dead end.

But the fluttering battle flag on the enemy's defense line has already plunged one of his hearts into the abyss, but what does the eye-catching snow-capped mountain symbol mean?

It means that it is the Snow Mountain Division, one of the four ace troops of the Tang Kingdom, and the towering Snow Mountain symbol on the battle flag is his pride, a strong army that has experienced the bloody battle in Crimea.

No wonder last night there were more than 10 group charges, each of which was shattered like a wave on a reef.

The battle line of the Easterners was terrifyingly stable, and even when the tide of attacking troops attacked within 100 meters, the steady firing was still very rhythmic, and there was no panic.

General Sherman now deeply understands where the gap between the Northern Army and the army of the Tang Kingdom is?

That is the huge gap in the concept of army building.

For more than 100 years, the United States of America has been intoxicated by the glory of the United States of America, which has been the cornerstone of the nation's armed forces and the backbone of war.

Therefore, the United States of America has never paid attention to the training and building of the standing army, with only a small number of 30,000 personnel and a maximum of only about 100,000 personnel in peacetime, and only 50 or so officers, including midshipmen, in the entire army staff headquarters.

[To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,yeguoyuedu.Android and Apple are available.】 】

The Tang Kingdom is different, it attaches great importance to the construction of the standing army and the construction of the officer echelon, and pays attention to retaining an experienced team of sergeants, so that a sergeant can effectively command the entire platoon or even the entire infantry company, thus condensing into a group with great combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, General Sherman couldn't help but smile bitterly;

The United States is a new country with no history, forgetting who selflessly helped white Americans defeat the British in the early days of the nation's founding?

In addition to the fanatical celebration, the role of the American militia was pushed to the altar, and since then the important position of the militia armed in the United States has been established, and the militia will be conscripted in the event of war.

Everyone selectively forgot the French, who played a major role in the War of Independence, what is the saying...... To forget is to betray.

During the American Revolutionary War

The French sent more than 100,000 troops directly to participate in the North American Revolutionary War, while the total number of American militias never exceeded 30,000, and almost all major battles were fought by the French, inflicting heavy losses on the British colonial army.

The French hatred for England was evident in the American Revolutionary War, and when the news of American independence came, Vergenne, then French Foreign Secretary, was full of surprise.

He said:

"Thankfully, this was a unique and unexpected stroke of good fortune for France, with the opportunity to take revenge on the British old.

If Britain lost its North American colonies, the British Empire would suffer immeasurable losses.

Britain is our natural enemy, an insatiable and untrustworthy enemy, and it is its consistent policy to belittle France.

It was therefore the duty of France to seize every opportunity to weaken the power of Britain. France should secretly aid the rebels. ”

Therefore, the North American War of Independence was a godsend for France, and how could they let go of this opportunity when they were bent on revenge against Britain?

The British, after losing the war, also surrendered to the French, and not to the so-called American militia.

In the minds of the proud English aristocracy, they were lost to the French and not to the rude and savage American elders.

All of this has been forgotten by choice......

The United States could defeat weak Mexico with its militias, but it was defeated again and again against the armies of the Orientals, armed to the teeth.

Now it seems that the US federal government will once again taste the bitter fruit.

General Sherman looked up at the sky and smiled a little with a lonely expression;

If he can save his life and return to the North, he must do everything in his power to convince the commander-in-chief, General Grant, and the White House of the importance of building a strong standing army to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Unfortunately, there is little hope for this......

It was past 2 p.m

General Sherman's headquarters was finally assembled, and the generals promised the soldiers that once they broke through the encirclement, they would be rewarded with various ranks, knights, various monetary rewards, and free disposal of prisoners and property, etc., and finally boosted their morale and prepared to launch a new assault on the defensive positions of the Snow Mountain Division.

At this time

A piece of bad news that was enough to make people collapse came, on the front-line positions in the north, the flag of the Tang Kingdom was found fluttering, and it was an infantry division full of infantry that arrived first, posing a serious threat to the rear of the entire Sherman Legion's battle line.

In less than half an hour, the second military flag appeared, followed by the third, the fourth, and fifth military flags one after another, and soon formed the pressure of Mount Tai.

At this time, even a fool understands that the window of opportunity left for the Sherman Legion to break through has been completely closed, and the situation of heavy encirclement has been formed.

The Sherman Legion is now a fish on the chopping block, let alone attacking, and it is difficult to even protect itself.

Naturally...... The planned attack has been cancelled, and the order has been given instead to a frenzied earthwork, to build a defensive line, and to prepare for stubborn resistance to the end.

……

Chang'an, Daming Palace

After receiving the news of the victory in the Battle of Garden, the largest Sherman field corps on the Western Front of the Northern Army was wiped out, and the Tang Kingdom once again fell into a warm carnival, and the sound of cheers and firecrackers could be heard in the palace court.

A series of brilliant victories have made the self-confidence of the people of the Tang Kingdom unprecedentedly high, and the sense of national identity that has more glory is stronger, and most of them are proud of the noble blood of the Tang people from the Heavenly Empire.

Inside the Tai Chi Temple

Richard took the good news in front of him and looked at it carefully, his face showed such a calm look, his mysterious premonition had already known that the Sherman Legion was in a catastrophe, and it should be fateful.

If the Northern Army wanted to hide from so many outstanding generals with a little trick, Richard could only admit the failure of the kingdom's military education, and these front-line generals were all fools.

Facts have proved that a small setback and difficulty are more conducive to the growth of the generals.

After this battle

The Southern Corps will enter a three-month period of comprehensive recuperation, temporarily transferring the Snow Mountain Division and the 205th Division to join the Colorado Corps in the sequence, and after the troops are replenished, they will follow the Colorado Corps to the north, officially opening the prelude to the second phase of the siege of Chicago.

In the Battle of Garden, more than 46,000 Northern officers and soldiers were finally captured, and in addition to the selected officers and about 10,000 soldiers who committed the most heinous crimes were handed over to the Southern elders, the remaining 35,000 people became the fifth, sixth and seventh divisions of the servant army, ready to be used as cannon fodder for the attack on the Battle of Chicago.

Follow the order; After more than 10 days of rest, the Colorado Corps will set off for the north and will arrive at the theater north of Chicago at the end of March to encircle Chicago.

At that time, 610,000 troops will gather in Chicago.

From mid-to-late April to early May, a general battle of unprecedented scale will be waged, and the intensity of the battle will not be inferior to that of the Eastern Front.

Richard was in a good mood, not only because of the victory at Garden, which allowed the Allies to completely eliminate the enemy trouble in the south and stabilize the basic situation, but also because of the good momentum of the family's imports and the overall economic development of 1859.

In 1859, three new princes and five princesses were added to the royal family, which was the result of Richard's personal hard work, and this was the royal heir contributed by his concubines under his deliberate control.

As for the women who were lucky at will, none of them moved in their stomachs.

The flourishing branches of the royal family are of course a gratifying thing, and it is no wonder that Richard, who has always been stable, is also complacent, and a strong sense of superiority suddenly rises.

Another piece of good news is that the population of the Tang Kingdom has grown rapidly, officially breaking through the 19 million mark, reaching more than 19.37 million people.

This is an explosive increase of 4.51 million compared with the statistics of a year and a half ago, that is, at the end of June 1858, the country's population was 14,869,200.

This is due to the strengthening of the introduction of new immigrants from the mainland, secondly, due to the average monthly arrival of more than 26,000 mainland recruits, and thirdly, due to the natural growth of the kingdom's population, which makes the Tang Kingdom officially become the most populous country in the whole of North America and even the Americas, which is of extraordinary significance.

Today, Brazil is the largest country in the entire Americas, with a population of about 7.87 million, much lower than the Tang Kingdom and the United States of America.

As a result of the unprecedented American Civil War, the number of immigrants from Europe fell sharply year by year, from an average of 1.1 million immigrants a year before the war to 870,000, 620,000, and 410,000 in 1859.

With the end of the Tang Kingdom's participation in the North American War, the population of American immigrants in 1860 will be drastically reduced again, while the number of casualties on the battlefield will increase, and the total population size will remain at a little more than 18 million.

The reason for the increase in population compared to the pre-war period is that in 1857 and 1858, despite the large number of young male casualties in the war, the total population of the federal government of the United States of America continued to grow slowly due to immigration factors and high fertility rates.

Therefore, it is of great significance that the Tang Kingdom officially surpassed the total population of the Federal Government of the United States and won the throne of the most populous country in the Americas.

This seems to indicate that the hegemony of the Tang Kingdom in the Americas has been strengthened and consolidated, and every transcendence is a milestone, enough to make history remember forever.
