Chapter 51, the cannon bombarded his mother
The town of Morwich is now devoid of any inhabitants.
Meantime.
The whole town has changed.
Most of the houses were demolished.
All the building materials became the construction materials for the outer ring defensive position.
The houses that have survived are all sturdy reinforced concrete buildings.
For example, a bank, a trading house, a warehouse, and the like.
And.
It has also been reinforced.
It became an area for storing ammunition supplies and command posts at all levels.
Other than that.
On the periphery of the positions.
There are also twenty 40-inch howitzers.
This is the treasure of the third division.
Besides.
There were also forty twenty-inch rapid-fire guns.
This type of artillery does not have a long range and is usually used for direct fire.
Therefore, they were all placed in camouflaged and reinforced artillery bunkers behind the front-line positions.
Everything is ready to go.
Ammunition, food, and various military supplies were also piled up in the fortified buildings of the town.
Bunker fortifications have also been constructed.
But after the evacuation of the sappers who helped build the bunker.
The officers and men of the 3rd Division knew.
The first real head-to-head confrontation between China and Europe since the start of the war is about to begin!
Because the Ming army had to hold on to the town of Morich to cover the crossing of the Missouri River by the First Army and the Qin King Guards Cavalry Corps.
And the U.S. military will inevitably push the Ming army back to the west bank of the Missouri River at any cost!
After all
For the US military.
Their strategic goal was to rely on the transportation capacity of the Missouri River.
Now the Ming army suddenly advanced suddenly.
As a result, the Missouri River is in danger of being cut off and at the same time.
U.S. Army Front Commander John. Admiral Stark also saw a little opportunity.
A chance to eat the part of the Ming army that dares to protrude to the east!!
Therefore.
The first massive collision of infantry on both sides.
It's bound to start in this small town on the east bank of the Missouri River.
Zeng Yuping, who had the opportunity to become the hero of the "First Battle of Pingmei", had not closed his eyes for three days.
His eyes were red.
This former Qing Xiucai can be regarded as a Hunan scholar with a more active brain.
Because the Hunan people are quite powerful in the new Ming court.
So.
Many Hunan people are easily supported by Hunan bigwigs.
Other than that.
The Confucian students in Hunan were originally different from the Confucian students in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
The Confucian disciples here pay more attention to the way of economic and practical use.
Historically.
Zeng Yuping's grandson, Zeng Guofan, is the founder of the Hunan Army, and he is also a well-known shaved head saint in modern history.
But
Under the butterfly effect.
Zeng shaved his head, this grandson, I can't really say if it can appear.
At least.
Zeng Yuping definitely didn't know that he had such a famous grandson now.
All he could think about now was how to strengthen the defenses of the town of MoriΔ.
At this time.
Luo Jinfeng, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, also placed his division headquarters in the small town of Morich.
Before the infantry of both sides collided.
Cavalry on both sides.
There have already been dozens of skirmishes.
At this moment, Luo Jinfeng, like the soldiers and generals at hand, is quite tired.
"It is definitely the main force of the Americans, several of their cavalry divisions have been dispatched, and the infantry behind them are like a tide, coming along the railway line in a steady stream, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 500,000."
Luo Jinfeng said.
"Moreover, if the Americans invest hundreds of thousands of soldiers in this battlefield, then they will definitely not only have the capital in front of them now, if I am the commander of the US army, if I want to fight hard, I will definitely mobilize the capital as much as possible, only 500,000 will be transferred, and it will never be possible if I can't go up or down!"
"It's going to be a tough fight!"
Zeng Yuping said.
"Cunzhong (Luo Jingfeng), how are your casualties? In the past few days, the gunfire I have heard is really not ordinary! β
"More than 3,000 casualties, more than 400 killed, and more than 2,000 wounded." Luo Jinfeng shook his head again and again, "A few dicks, the Yankees' first riding division is really a hard bone!" β
"The king has sent two thousand reinforcements, and the wounded soldiers and the ashes of the fallen brothers will remain here for the time being, and the younger brother will lead the troops to continue eastward, to go around the vicinity of St. Paul, and then turn back."
Luo Jinfeng said.
Zeng Yuping was just about to say something.
A violent explosion rang out.
This is the sound of 75-mm rapid-fire guns and 100-mm howitzers firing at the US army.
Zeng Yuping immediately stood up.
"Brother Cunzhong, the younger brother will not be sent away."
With that, he picked up the binoculars on the table and walked out of the division headquarters with a few staff officers.
Just shelling.
It was a test launch by the US military.
Next.
A more intense bombardment was imminent.
And
After the shelling.
Sure.
It's the charge of the infantry!
The war is about to begin.
"How many people have passed in the First Army? The telegram ordered Zeng Ada, before September 3rd, the whole army must cross the river! β
"The actions of the Second Army must be accelerated! Tell them it's in the Americas! You're not up against the same opponents you've faced in Asia! This is the army of the Americans! They are the most ferocious white people! β
"Has my father arrived in Golden State? I don't have time to greet them, so call Lin Zexu and Deng Tingzhen and let them handle it all! β
Sit in your own headquarters.
Zhu Yixin's face was solemn.
It looks pretty calm.
He constantly reviewed in his mind the distribution of the armies he mastered.
and correspond to it one-to-one on the map.
The battle of millions of people is about to begin.
It's unimaginable.
In this general battle, the commander-in-chief of the Ming side.
It was this twenty-year-old young man.
Zhu Yixin is very clear.
This is its own "Battle of Guangzhou".
Once this battle is won!
in the whole Greater China system.
His Zhu Yixin's status will rise greatly.
He's going to be a true commander.
His father.
The Emperor of the Ming Empire will truly and completely trust the North American battlefield to his hands.
Until then.
His Qin kingdom will become the overlord of North America - yes, now he can only be the hegemon, and he can't learn from the emperor to "sweep Liuhe".
Because his crown prince brother will not allow it.
But.
Not right now.
Not represented.
Not in the future.
Qin swept Liuhe, and it was the rest of Fen VI.
He Zhu Yixin's Qin State wanted to dominate North America.
We can only count on future generations.
So.
He can do it now.
It is to find a good place for the Qin Kingdom.
And to accomplish this.
Yes.
Prove that he has the strength to command a large army to defeat the white coalition!!
Meanwhile.
The battle for the small town of Moric has begun.
The artillery of the American army did not want to be bombarded by money.
Fell on the positions of the Ming army.
Zeng Yuping has already gone to the front line.
The Americans are really menacing.
The cannons alone lined up hundreds!
And there is heavy artillery in the back!
Just wait for the Ming artillery to open fire and attack the Ming artillery position.
So.
Zeng Yuping did not give the order to open fire.
Just wait for the American infantry to come up, and then open artillery to bombard the enemy infantry cluster!
"All mortars are ready!"
"Wait for the Americans to come up, fuck it!" (End of chapter)
