Chapter 317: Unmoving like a mountain!
Boom! Boom!
After the first shell was located, a fierce and abnormal shelling began not long after. These shells came from the rear of Hezhong*. It was obvious that Sherman and Mead's troops were stabbed from behind!
On land, not to mention those casualties or those who were killed or killed, they themselves have 70,000. If they add some logistics and medical personnel, if they are all counted together, they will almost be 100,000. This is because there is a railway, which is much more convenient, otherwise there will be more people. Then this group is really big and big. Ten thousand people are crowded with people. This is their own place, but no one has discovered the enemy behind them!
"What's going on?! What's going on?!" Sherman was furious in his command center. ∽↗3∽↗ Jiangge∽↗,
Yes, this matter is too serious. Isn’t this just surrounded for the United States?
"General, I, too..." The veteran general Mead was also confused because he didn't know either.
But, if you don’t know this, it’s interesting.
"Where is our reconnaissance force? Where are our cavalry? Are their horses dead?" Sherman was really angry, but in fact he knew it.
It’s very simple, no one knows the enemy situation, and Hezhong* has not sent out the reconnaissance troops they should have!
There are nearly 100,000 people, but the 100,000 people have not found other troops surrounding them. What else can be said?
But in fact, do you think this is someone’s responsibility?
It should be said that even Sherman, he felt that this investigation work was unnecessary.
Look at the current situation of Hezhong*, are they using investigations?
The battlefield is in Vicksburg. To the east of the Mississippi River, this large area is the territory of the United States. Moreover, the Mississippi River is full of warships of the United States, and I am one hundred thousand people. I fight at home, and my opponent is a foreign army, and I come from afar. My military strength is more than ten times that of my opponent. That's the situation. Reconnaissance?
How effective is it?
I guess even if you release the cavalry troops, they can only do it perfunctorily, because who can come? It is impossible for someone to have someone.
But now, someone is coming. And just listening to the cannon sound, Sherman is very familiar with it, he will never forget it in his life. This is definitely a cannon in the imperial field!
So, why was my butt stabbed by my opponent? Why did those emperors come to my back? Wasn’t the Mississippi River blocked by Unicom?
These questions are very important, but none of them is important, that is, what should we do now?
"Okay! Mead! Your review and your guilt will be discussed in the future!" Sherman cleverly put the blame on Mead directly. Anyway, someone has to take responsibility, and Sherman doesn't give Mead a chance to pass the blame. He immediately continued, "I order the entire army to continue the attack!"
"Continue to attack?!" Mead forgot about the cause at that time.
Keep attacking? This idea is too bold!? And it is too nonsense?!
You know, at this time, the situation is that Universal* is surrounded. The Mississippi River is ahead of the attack. Even if Vicksburg is defeated, it will be surrounded in the end?
Nearly 100,000 troops. Of course, now there are probably only 50,000 to 70,000 people left. But this large number of people are surrounded. You do not choose to break through, but continue to attack in the opposite direction. This is too risky, so risky...
etc!
Mead quickly calmed down because he figured out why Sherman did it.
It's very simple, their opponent is now an empire, and the emperor of that empire is within Vicksburg!
Yes, that must be true!
Sherman thought that as long as we continue to attack, use the fiercest offensive to capture Vicksburg, smooth the hill, the most important thing is to catch it, or kill the emperor, then the result of this Vicksburg battle is that our Universal One's victory!?
This idea can be said to be more logical, and this logic is based on that empire is an empire. They have an emperor. As long as they kill this emperor, the empire will be ruined!
Not to mention anything else, General Mead gave a high praise to the super fighting will shown by the soldiers of the United States. In fact, there is this reason. Everyone thought that as long as they killed the opponent's emperor, the war would be over.
Of course, no one can say what the future will be like, but on the one hand, it is the back that you have to face when you are surrounded, and in front is the emperor in Vicksburg. This is the merit. How would you choose?
It can be said that at this moment, Mead had very accurately figured out Sherman's thoughts, this supreme commander of the Western Military Region of the United States, that's what he thought.
And in Sherman's view, this is a gamble, a big gamble!
But however, this gambling actually has a great chance of winning, because the trick has been found in the previous battle. Besides, this is a army of tens of thousands, and there are enough people. Also, Sherman's army has also dug trenches. This trenches are just a trenches, and the trenches have two sides, so they can be directly turned into a defensive position against the rear!
Sherman was actually full of confidence. Even though he knew that his opponent's cannon was very fierce, he could definitely kill the tyrant before being eliminated, and the whole war would be over!
So, what about the situation in Vicksburg?
"Comrades!" Li Mengyang, as the emperor of the empire, came to the front line now, which was the second trench in the past. He had known before that his own troops came from behind the enemy. You would never hear the sound of the shells. Moreover, he also knew the enemy's general movement. They did not choose to break through, and those mortars were still facing us, and they must be ready to attack!
"all-hail-lee!" The soldiers in the trench stood attentively and saluted.
"I won't say much! Next we will face the most fierce attack! Our opponents will become extremely crazy! It's because of me! The emperor of this empire is here!" Speaking of this, Li Mengyang spread his hands and had nothing in his hand. He only heard him say: "Comrades! You all heard that I shot very accurately. But today! I will not touch any weapons! My safety! My life! Let me leave it to comrades!"
As soon as Li Mengyang finished speaking...
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
The slogan is shocking! The war begins here!
Boom! Boom!
There were ***t everywhere, and with grenades, the entire Vicksburg seemed to be in an explosion.
"go ahead!"
"Wooah!"
Bi buckle! Bi buckle!
Twist...
There are actually some passages connected between the first trench and the second trench, and these passages are now placed with Gatling machine gun guards. Anyway, if someone comes, he will definitely be dead.
However, even so, the charge from the United States remains. The United States seems to have no concern for death at all. They are beaten, ordered, and even forced by the supervising spear behind them... Anyway, they are rushing. Only by killing that emperor can they survive!
"Ahhhh..." The battle was instantly hot, but the first thing that felt the pain was a group of 'bikes'.
Well, it’s the Imperial soldiers who provide power to machine guns. They always have extremely painful expressions and grit their teeth...
"Ahhhh!"
"Kill!"
"God!"
"Your uncle!"
"Fake!"
Machine guns, volleyballs, grenades, mortars... In terms of firepower, the empire has reached the extreme of this era. However, the soldiers of the United States rushed over and entered the second line of defense!
Although there were corpses along the way. Although the blood paid by the soldiers of the United States had already made the ground muddy, they were still moving forward, and countless American soldiers were still rushing forward!
The two armies finally tucked together again, bayonets, butt stocks, fists, stones, teeth... The scene of that day came again, but it was even more tragic!
"..." Li Mengyang didn't say anything, he just stood on the third line of defense. It was there, at the last line of defense. He didn't move at all!
"Your Majesty! It's very dangerous here, we might as well..." Liszt's legs were trembling at this time. There was no way. This line of defense was actually not far from the front, less than 50 meters. Maybe the cannons or bullets there could be fired!
"If our morale is disrupted, I will deal with you now!" Li Mengyang still didn't move, and he said this with a sarcastic smile, which scared Liszt so much that he almost urinated.
He didn't say anything, and even Ocassi next to him didn't say anything.
However, Ocassi had a feeling about His Majesty the Emperor's state. He is now a general, so he naturally has to read some military books. What should he read?
"The Art of War", why waste such a good textbook? It can be used after translation.
Still moving!
This is Okashi's feeling. His Majesty the Emperor is now a mountain, pressing against the last mountain of the entire Emperor, and he must not move!
...
"Why haven't you caught it yet?! Are they all pigs?"
Sherman was still furious in his command center, because for him, if there was no progress in the previous attack, it would be a failure!
"General! We should consider the situation behind us!" Senior General Mead has been in a mess for a long time. He was not because of the offense, but because of the defense. He was sent by Sherman to defend the rear. I can't just come to report the situation.
"What the hell is behind me! I want the head of that tyrant now!" Sherman didn't care which direction the battle Mead was in. Anyway, he would be happy if he could get a personal scolding.
To be honest, Sherman felt a little guilty because his people were fighting in the attack ahead, so such great contributions naturally required his own people to take over. However, Greg's offensive did not work much, and it was already 20,000 yuan. Naturally, there were Mead's people here, but there was no way, there was really no way...
"General! Colonel Greg is dead!" Suddenly, a commissar ran in, and he was very panicked.
"ah?"
This news is no less than a bolt from the blue. Sherman's eyes were dark at that time, because it means that his attack is probably over. Then this battle... (To be continued 1qd0202)
