Chapter 316 Finally, it's the most critical time!

"Oh~Oh~"

"What are you calling? I didn't even hum if I lost an arm!"

"Fake! All are quiet for a while!"

In the third trench in Vicksburg, this is actually the location of the temporary field hospital. His Majesty Li Mengyang, the emperor, has his own medical team, and the vanguard troops' own medical team, so although there are only more than 5,000 people, doctors, nurses, and medicines are still available.

However, Vicksburg has been fighting for more than a month since this time. Today is the busiest day in this temporary field hospital. The wounded soldiers they accepted today are three times the total number of wounded soldiers since the previous Battle of Vicksburg!

There are more than 600 wounded soldiers in the hospital now!

Today's daytime battle can be said to be the most tragic battle that the Emperor fought in the Battle of Vicksburg!

"Huh! Huh!" Xiao Shanzi was also lying on the hospital bed. He finally opened his eyes. Fortunately, he could feel that he seemed to have all his head and tail.

"Zhoutou! Lao Wang is dead!" A soldier in the platoon sat beside Xiao Shanzi's bed, with sweat, blood and tears on his face.

"Ah? Where is the position?" Xiao Shanzi felt pain all over, but what he was most concerned about was this issue.

"Zhoutou! We beat all the Japanese back! But the above said that the first line of defense is no longer safe. We must reclaim the second line of defense and organize the defense here." The soldier wiped his tears and said.

"Don't cry! We haven't lost yet! It's Lao Wang, hey~" Xiao Shanzi seemed to have suddenly matured a lot.

"Zhoutou! That's Lao Wang's life. He was shot in the head before and didn't die. This time he was helpless. But he made a lot of money. He killed those white devils!" The soldier stopped wiping his tears.

"Old Liu, we can defend Your Majesty, this is glory!" Xiaoshanzi's eyes were filled with tears at this time.

"Well! I know this!" Old Liu nodded heavily, "Old Wang always said that it is worth it to die for His Majesty!"

This scene in the hospital is not isolated. Many wounded soldiers in the Empire said that their fighting will was not affected. All of this was heard by the people from the Propaganda Department in the hospital and recorded it...

"All of them are good soldiers!" Li Mengyang couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw these recorded manuscripts in the cat's ears late at night.

"Your Majesty! It is precisely because of your majesty, your virtue! You are with everyone! That's why there are such good soldiers!" Liszt, who created these things, had already cried a lot on the side.

"Your Majesty! I have to make a review! Make the most profound review!" Ocassi was crying, but he is now the main military leader. This battle was like this, and it was always smooth sailing. Suddenly it was so tragic, which was really unreasonable.

Li Mengyang didn't say much. He just waved his hand and signaled that there was no need for Okashi to blame himself. Li Mengyang said: "Actually, we were careless, we were all careless!"

That's right, it's just a carelessness, and this care is basically the saying, a arrogant soldier will be defeated.

Before, the Emperor ** was so smooth. This arrogant soldier was not only a soldier, but also a superior officer, including Okashi, and even Li Mengyang himself. He thought that his Emperor ** was awesome now and powerful now. Any opponent would die when he came! He would win!

Li Mengyang admitted himself that he did have this mentality, otherwise he would not have taken such a risk to put himself in the most dangerous place.

so……

"Don't blame the soldiers! You don't blame you! If you want to blame me, I, the emperor, are a little ethereal..." Li Mengyang said this very sincerely.

"!"

But when they heard this, Okashi and Liszt's ears, the two of them knelt on one knee and shouted slogans with tears on their faces.

This is the emperor taking responsibility, but he didn't do anything to slim his shoulders!

"..." Li Mengyang was really at a loss, "Get up, get up. I'm not acting, I'm telling the truth... My guess is not right. I didn't expect the opponent to attack like this. I thought they were too civilized."

Li Mengyang was also reviewing the two of them, and then talked about the soldiers' pensions, and then talked about the key points.

"The situation is already very critical now. The enemy's tactics are simply crazy, but we must still defend the last two lines of defense, and we must not relax no matter what we say. In case, we must lay explosives in the second line of defense!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! We will definitely fight to the end!"

The situation on the American Empire is really as Li Mengyang said, and it is already very critical, because today's battle is simply a tragic blow to them.

There were 632 wounded people in the hospital, and 383 people in the trench were killed on the spot!

Just this number, more than 1,000 people are probably nothing in the current American land, because of the American Civil War and the Empire's Eastern Expedition, this battle is often tens of thousands or tens of thousands.

But you should know that the vanguard troops of the Eastern Route Army now have more than 5,000 people, and today there are more than 1,000 casualties. This is one-fifth, it is really a trauma.

The reason is that the soldiers fought too smoothly before and were not prepared for such a fierce battle. The key point is that the enemy seems to have found a way to break the trenches, so no matter how you look at it, this is not a good sign.

Li Mengyang is really in danger at this time, so can this Vicksburg be kept?

It should be said that the method used by the United States today is very novel and creative. You should know that in the offensive and defensive battle from 1862 to 1863, they did not expect this move, but did not defeat the city. So why did they become so awesome this time?

This is indeed surprising, but there is a reason...

"Bad! Shit!..."

In the United States position, General Sherman's command came out of General Sherman's command. The sound was obviously Sherman himself. So who is he scolding?

"Sheerman! How could you humiliate my subordinates so much? My subordinates risked huge casualties. They completed their mission. Today they also showed their courage! They were invincible! They killed the enemy! How could you insult them so much!?"

Standing in front of Sherman was General Mead. The old general was also furious at this time. He called Sherman's name directly and confronted him!

"Insult? I still want to kick their ass!" Sherman now seemed like a crazy mad dog, biting whoever he got, "Such a good opportunity! We can completely get this ghost place in one battle! We can completely kill that tyrant! Even capturing him alive! But because of the cowardice of your subordinates, the end failed! Are you still the mighty Topomac Legion? Are you worthy of being called the Iron Brigade??"

A series of gunfires really made Mead feel embarrassed. But the old general couldn't bear the humiliation.

"Sheerman! You bastard! If it weren't for my Topomac Legion, would we get to that position? Could we have such a good opportunity?!"

"Fake! You old guy..."

The two generals of the United States began a rare confrontation and then started to attack!

Why is this?

On the surface, this battle was a huge progress made by the United States. At least they hit the Emperor hard, but it was really unacceptable to the price they paid and the reasons for the failure of the battle.

What is the cost?

Didn’t I dig trenches all the time before? There were actually several trenches. And along the way, it was a journey of blood!

The Emperor's bullets were not vegetarians. Their grenades were not hammers, they were all deadly things. Along the way, there were more than 5,000 soldiers who were killed and killed. Those who were lucky and did not die were almost 5,000. The ones that appeared later were the experience summarized by human lives.

In other words, in order to dig out these "offensive channels", Hezhong** paid a very high price. The medical level at this time was bad, and these 10,000 people were basically gone.

If they don't do this, they really can't find any other way to attack.

Before that, Sherman wanted to shorten the distance and shoot with his opponent, but this idea was soon hit by the enemy's head-on.

I tried it here in the United States, but the results were very bad...

To put it bluntly, Li Mengyang did not make any mistake in prediction, but his troops performed too well in this regard, and they did not have any unnecessary feelings.

And the most important thing is that the United States cannot defeat its opponents!

Helmet!

Therefore, the empire really doesn't feel anything, even the casualties are still very small and can be ignored.

The United States has no moves, and it is really no moves, so this charge comes.

As for this charge, more than 10,000 people were invested in the United States... Of course, it is impossible for these individuals to go up. Once they have exceeded 10,000 people, there will be a lot of people. But if they fill in this way, even if the United States is willing to do so, they can win by using these 10,000 people to fill the hole.

But, it failed!

Why did it fail?

Because after rushing into the opponent's trenches, of course, many people must have been killed along the way, but this is not the main reason. The main reason for the failure is that many of the guns on the United States cannot get bayonets!

Now the United States is mainly equipped with rear-mounted guns. It is newly designed. Many arsenals simply save the bayonet position in order to save money. Because the power of rear-mounted guns is good, it has a great advantage over front-mounted guns. In previous operations, in fact, the United Nations rarely uses bayonets, which are used by some troops equipped with front-mounted guns.

This is a very normal technical elimination. Although it has the ingredients of cutting corners, it is not the focus.

But in this battle, the United States soldiers without bayonets were sad...

I had to fight hand in hand, but I couldn't install a bayonet, so I could only use a dagger-like broken knife. Therefore, the Hezhong** showed that crazy performance. And the opponent Emperor**, the rifle they used was so long!

As for bolting the rifle, there is a saying about the length. Adding a bayonet in front is a great advantage.

That's how it was stabbed back!

Ten thousand people did not enter here on the side of Hezhong**, but two or three thousand people rushed over, and many more died on the way. These guys were beaten back because they did not have a bayonet, so there was no need for the ten thousand people to fill in.

Now, the conflict between Sherman and Mead is very sharp. You should know that the losses suffered by digging the trenches before were the Middletop Mack legion. This time, the attack was because Mead felt that his people had dug the trenches, and they should compete for merit, but unexpectedly... the two of them had conflicts, one was Grant's right-hand assistant, and the other was the veteran general who was excluded by Grant.

And before that, when Mead first arrived in Vicksburg, Sherman asked Mead's troops to fight without saying anything, but Mead's troops suffered a great loss.

Can the old general not understand these things? Can he feel angry?

So, in fact, the two of them had a deep grudge, but in the previous battle, they had lost so many people by digging the trenches. Mead swallowed all these things out of the overall situation.

But now, Sherman put all the shit on him, as if he didn't capture Vicksburg this time, it was because of his Mead and the fault of the Topomac Legion he brought. Can you bear it?

That……

"Tomorrow! I must watch the star-striped flags rise in Vicksburg!" Sherman finally fought with Mead for a long time before leaving a sentence.

"I swear to God that you will see it! But I also curse you to go to hell!" Mead was not willing to be outdone.

What will happen tomorrow?

The next morning, September 10, 1868.

Boom! Boom!

"go ahead!"

"Wooah!"

The United States soldiers cooperated with the artillery again, and they launched an attack again. This time Sherman and Mead threw almost everyone in. Anyway, it was the densely packed American soldiers who were staying in the newly dug 'trench' to charge, but...

Yo~ Yo!

Behind the Hezhong**, sharp shells roared... (To be continued...)
