Chapter 49, Riding a Division VS Riding a Division

The night was not destined to be peaceful.

Under the stars.

The first burst of gunfire rang out.

On the Great Plains of Missouri.

The confrontation between the two largest military blocs in the history of mankind has begun on the most ordinary bleak night in tens of millions of years.

No one can imagine.

The cruelty and bloodshed of this war.

In fact.

The forwards of both sides have been intertwined.

Rifles, pistols, grenades.

All kinds of weapons, in the hands of these most elite cavalrymen, turned into murderous weapons, and the blood of both sides was soaked into this fertile soil.

and the First Cavalry Division of the Qin King Guards Cavalry Army.

Also the 1st Cavalry Division.

United States of America, 1st Cavalry Division of the Army's Northern Theater of Operations!

It's also amazing.

Firepower.

It's also very powerful.

On the vast Great Plains of North America.

Both sides can be said to be countries built on horseback.

Horses were creatures that didn't belong to the New World.

But.

Now it is the most important livestock in the New World.

Because the territory here is too vast.

It's too rich, too.

Using horses to farm is not too stressful for either Chinese or whites.

There were plenty of horses on both sides.

There were also quite elite cavalry.

And.

They were not the classical cavalry of the Old World, who stubbornly believed in scimitars and spears.

The white cowboys and Chinese collective farm owners here on the North American continent thought that pistols were better than sabers and spears.

If a six-shot revolver is not enough.

Then equip two.

And a rifle on your back.

It was even equipped with mortars that could carry fast marches on horseback.

The firepower is much stronger than a simple saber spear.

Therefore.

in North America.

Orthodox shock cavalry.

It has long since withdrawn from the stage of history.

The cowboys and the bankers were mounted infantry.

Marching on horseback.

Dismount and shoot.

When it is necessary to ride a horse to impact.

Nor are spears used.

Rather, it was a revolver.

Although there is no shock of the cavalry of the old era entering the wall.

But it's very practical.

When Luo Jinfeng rushed to the front line of the battle with his guard company.

The cavalry of the Ming army had already completed the deployment of the battle line on the battlefield.

With the strength of five companies, a frame of outflanking the left and right flanks was formed.

The main point of fire for each company was not the rifles in the hands of the infantrymen, but the platoon mortars that each platoon was equipped with – of course.

For the sake of confidentiality.

The machine-gun firing points of each platoon have not been taken out for the time being.

Mortars as the core of the fire strike.

Five companies of Ming cavalry formed fifteen mortar fire points on the vast battlefield.

The regimental headquarters of the first regiment of cavalry also came up in motion.

A small hill is used as a stronghold.

When Luo Jinfeng rushed over.

The firefighting has stopped.

Faulkang learned about the situation from the staff of the regiment headquarters and immediately came back to report to Luo Jinfeng.

"The opposite side is also very strong, there are more people than us, there should be eight companies of troops, and they have retreated and established a defensive position ten kilometers away."

"What about the casualties?"

Luo Jinfeng asked with a frown, holding the horsewhip in his hand, his fingers turning white.

He was visibly nervous.

"Eight dead, thirteen seriously wounded, six lightly wounded, and no one was captured."

Faulcon said.

"Report on the destruction of twenty-one enemies, capture two prisoners, and are interrogating!"

Faulcon spoke.

There were faint screams.

It seems that the Ming army's interrogation method is also quite primitive.

But it looks good.

About twenty minutes later.

The results of the interrogation came out.

"It's a unit of the 1st Cavalry Division of the U.S. Army!"

Volkan takes a deep breath!

"Oh? It's a trump card. Luo Jinfeng laughed.

He pulled out the military map he had with him, and the guards next to him approached the torches.

Luo Jinfeng glanced at it a few times.

Then he looked up in the direction of the retreat of the 1st American Cavalry Division.

"We've got to fight tonight. This American 1st Cavalry Division is known as the ace of the aces of the US army, and they can't just touch it and retract it! ”

The 1st Cavalry Division of the U.S. Army has a good reputation.

The U.S. Army, known as the "number one force", was formed by Washington, the first U.S. commander-in-chief during the Revolutionary War.

It was the first regular army of the U.S. Army!

Known as the "Founding Fathers".

There are so many names.

Nature is elite.

And.

Can be sent by the U.S. military to take the lead.

It also shows that this unit is by no means idle.

In fact, it wasn't just the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division that was leading the way.

There were thirteen other divisions.

John. Stark's troops were arranged in a trapezoidal formation.

Fourteen divisions, including the 1st Cavalry Division, totaling 300,000 men, formed a combat group and advanced to the front of the battle line as a mobile force.

The 700,000 people in the rear were used as "line fillers" to stick to the preset battle line.

John. Stark's arrangement is also a compromise with the current status quo of America's million-strong army.

Because the total strength of the U.S. Army before the war was only 300,000.

The temporary expansion of 700,000 is also from militarily trained militias.

However, of course, there is a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the temporarily expanded army and the 300,000 regular army.

So.

John. Stark asked the improvised "mobilization division" to fill the front.

More flexible mobile operations with 300,000 regular troops.

It's understandable.

In fact, Zhu Yixin's arrangement is the same.

Now the troops on both sides are on the front line are "old regular armies".

Now arranged on the front line are the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army of the North American Theater of the Ming Army.

The First Army was the garrison of the former Ming Army in North America.

The Second Army and the Third Army were both regular armies with the old name of the Ming Dynasty transferred from the Ming Dynasty.

Meanwhile.

By the end of August.

The 50,000 North American Advance Corps of the New Japanese Army, the 50,000 North American Dispatch Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, the 50,000 North American Dispatch Army of the Korean Kingdom, the 50,000 Commander Corps of the King of Annam and the 200,000 Ming Army of the Vassal State and the two group armies will also arrive.

However, John Stark did not know this information.

And.

Under the cover of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Qin King Guards Army.

The U.S. military also did not find that the Ming army had built a pontoon bridge over the Missouri River.

The 100,000-strong army of the First Army in the North American Theater of Tomorrow has already crossed the Missouri River with great vigor and vigor.

"Mr. General, the vanguard of the Ming army has been spotted north of the Missouri River. The 1st Cavalry Division had a brief fight with the opponent, and Major General Hulk reported that the troops he encountered were very elite, and it was very likely that Zhu Yixin, the Qin King of the Ming Empire, selected the elite of the Ming Army to form the Guards Cavalry Corps! ”

Rosefield. Major General Andrew said with a solemn face.

"If Major General Hulk's judgment is correct, then it is very likely that the Ming army has already crossed the river!"

"Crossing the river. Crossing the river"

John. Stark frowned.

With a million-strong army on hand, the pressure that one careless could bury the entire United States made this American war hero during the Revolutionary War extremely nervous.

He hasn't made a judgment yet.

Someone from the rear came to report.

"The Emperor of France and his army have reached Maryland on the West Coast." (End of chapter)
