Boom Boom!

The shells fell above the command post, shaking the command post hidden in the underground anti-artillery hole into a cloud of dust.

John. Stark and his subordinate officer staff shook off the general's hat and dirt from his body.

At this time in the command post.

Everyone's faces were a little solemn.

The power of the artillery bombardment of the Ming army made the hearts of these American generals very heavy.

"How? What do you think? ”

John. Stark asked.

Everyone present looked at each other.

Senior American military officers know that this is a difficult battle.

The first to come to the front line, Helena's Legion Commander Liam. Cooper frowned, seeing that everyone had nothing to say, as a senior officer who knew the situation on the front line best, he could only stand up at this time.

'Mr. Admiral, the situation is now very unfavorable for us, we are clearly lagging behind in terms of artillery, and the other side has a very large number of long-range artillery! This is information that we did not get before, their shelling is very long, according to estimates it is already ten kilometers away, which is beyond the visual distance! ’

"According to the intelligence, they use a new communication technology that can achieve long-distance real-time communication, and they are likely to use this out-of-sight strike weapon by observing the real-time guidance of the fire prevention artillery range in real time!"

Liam. Cooper's words made the faces of the officers present even more solemn.

"Is it wireless telegraphy?"

John. Stark asked, frowning.

The Chinese's keen sense of using new technologies for warfare worries him.

Many new technologies are emerging when people are still imagining some application scenarios.

The Chinese have put it into practice.

Some details of the naval battles between Ming and Britain have also been excavated, and the intelligence services of various countries have taken note of the "telegraph", a new technology that has been put into the battlefield recently.

In fact.

The research on electricity at the Daming Academy inevitably influenced the direction of research in the European scientific community.

Europe's heritage is still deep.

Sometimes even if the Ming Dynasty was one step ahead, the Europeans were quick to catch up.

In fact, cable telecommunications have been studied in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, although the Ming Empire came up with radio communication, it was not too far ahead.

In previous wars, everyone could at least observe the opponent through visual distance, and never took countermeasures.

But now.

The Chinese artillery can already bombard outside the visual range.

As soon as the war began.

I found that I might be a lot behind my opponent, which really made the officers present feel very depressed.

"There's nothing we can do with this long-range artillery, they attack outside the line of sight. Now, they haven't really completed the offensive deployment, and they have made us suffer with this kind of heavy artillery. Once they are ready to attack, I can't imagine how fierce the artillery fire will be, and our soldiers will most likely become cannon fodder. ”

Liam's words made the officers present nod silently.

"Their firepower is clearly overwhelming us, and we need to resist with stronger defenses! Plus, we need reinforcements! ”

An officer stood up and said loudly.

His statement was echoed.

These high-ranking American officers are certainly well aware.

For the United States of America.

This war must also be waged.

Because the industrial layout of the United States revolves around war.

In these years, the factories of the American North were almost fully oriented towards the military industry.

If there is no war.

How can this produced be consumed?

Not to mention.

These hundreds of them also know what the purpose of the Chinese on the other side is to come to North America.

If they don't pick up guns and fight now.

Thirty years at most.

In the entire North American continent, the Chinese population will be overwhelming.

When the time came.

Even if the United States wants to fight, I am afraid it will not be able to do so - not to mention, it is not certain whether there will be the United States at that time.

Since all sides want to fight.

Then this hard-fought encounter on land is inevitable.

"In fact, our goal has also been achieved. At least Zhu Yixin came with his army, which means that the main direction of attack of the Chinese will be on this side, and we will come according to the plan. ”

John. Stark said.

"The second boot has fallen off, and we have nothing to worry about."

The officers present stood up one after another.

"It's just a battle!"

"Long live America!"

"Your Majesty, the wireless telegraph intercepted by the American army has been deciphered!"

Zhu Yixin's front-line command post.

The one who is talking is Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yuankai, the eldest son of Lin Minghe, who is currently the Metropolitan Protector of California.

His face was a little agitated.

Although wireless telegraphy has only appeared for a short time.

However, Lin Yuankai, a super academic staff officer who graduated from Daohua University, has discovered the possibility of obtaining information from the radio!!

Right now.

He actually succeeded!!

Zhu Yixin and Lin Zexu discussed on a dense map.

Around Helena City, small flags symbolizing the strength of both sides were densely planted.

Hear Lin Yuankai's words.

Zhu Yixin straightened up.

Lin Zexu waved his hand to his nephew and said, "Read!" ”

"The main force of the Ming army is gathered in Helena City, and the northern defense line is at risk of being breached, so I request that reserves be mobilized immediately to support the north!"

Zhu Yixin nodded when he heard this, with a smile on his face.

"The Americans really paid attention to luring me to the north for a decisive battle!"

He turned his head to look at Lin Yuankai.

"Yuan Kai, not bad! This time the Communications Division is considered a meritorious service! I guess the Americans don't know about radio interception yet, and I'm keeping an eye on it all this time! ”

'Yes! ’

Lin Yuankai grinned, kept his body, and turned around and left after giving a military salute to Zhu Yixin and Lin Zexu.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Americans must be north of the Missouri River, and they must want to break through from the flank to attack our left flank while we storm the enemy in front of us. This intention can be regarded as a conspiracy, and they put on a dignified formation, and it seems that they are very confident! ”

"Americans have been waiting for more than ten years!" Lin Zexu took a deep breath and said, "If we also open up to fight, it will be a battle for the country!" The great plains of the Missouri Valley are really too flat, even flatter than the Central Plains, and the railroad has been built, and the river is also convenient for transporting troops. ”

Zhu Yixin tapped his hand on the table.

This determination.

It's really hard to get down.

Once you make up your mind.

That's a big gamble!

"The king's 50,000 horsemen are ready."

Zhu Yixin stood up.

Paced back and forth a few steps.

"The Great Plains of Missouri is convenient for transporting troops! Here, drain the blood of the Americans! (End of chapter)
