Chapter 63, Assault! assault! assault!

Big breakthrough?

This is not easy.

after all

Now where can I find a tank for you?

After Zhu Daohua received the combat plan submitted by the frontline headquarters.

That was my first thought.

This son of his is indeed very powerful.

Much more powerful than his father - maybe this is a genius commander.

It seems that he can rest assured that the North American battlefield will be left to him in the future.

Now his way.

In fact, it is a simplified version of Blitzkrieg.

Use artillery and infantry to open a momentary gap.

Use cavalry for a quick breakthrough.

However, the attack power of cavalry cannot be compared with that of tanks.

Want to cause the entire enemy army to collapse.

Very difficult.

Of course.

Maybe we can really push back the enemy.

The battlefield situation has evolved from confrontation between east and west to confrontation between north and south.

Completely occupy the Missouri plains and push Chinese forces to the west shore of Lake Michigan.

I'm afraid it can be done.

There are no tanks available.

Just infantry and artillery.

I'm afraid it would be difficult to carry out shelling for several days and nights.

This will expose the attack intention and give the enemy time to adjust its deployment.

so.

Such an attack.

They can only rely on short and extremely fierce artillery bombardments to clear the offensive obstacles.

The first wave of offensive.

Only by achieving great results can we gain greater advantages for subsequent attacks.

Think of this.

Zhu Daohua wrote a "yes" in the battle plan.

Then

Another warrant was written.

Let Guan Tianpei pass the order.

Move the 13th Guards Special Operations Brigade to the front line.

13th Special Operations Brigade.

As the name suggests.

It's for special operations.

And now the so-called special operations

Just use poison gas!

That is.

Chlorine!

Emperor Zhu is half a chemist.

So he still knows about chlorine gas.

He knew the principle of producing chlorine by electrolysis.

Therefore, the manufacturing method was figured out two or three years ago.

Now

Poison gas warfare is a very cruel method of combat.

It was introduced to the current North American battlefield.

"For a roundabout attack, what is needed is a large cavalry regiment! Not a cavalry division of 12,000 or 20,000, but a super large cavalry combat group that muster at least 100,000 or 200,000!"

“Material preparations must be sufficient!”

"Perhaps the attack can be postponed to October. In this case, the corn and wheat in the Mississippi River Basin will be mature. By then, perhaps the logistical pressure will be much less!"

Union General Headquarters in St. Louis.

A busy scene.

Inside the combat center.

All the staff are making final preparations for an attack.

The plan of the coalition forces is this: organize an all-cavalry group attack, go behind the Ming Army's Missouri Group, and coordinate with the coalition's western and southern corps to launch an attack at the same time! Drive the Ming army back to the west of the Rocky Mountains.

For the coalition forces.

Being able to block the Ming army in the Rocky Mountains would be considered a success.

"An attack of three hundred thousand cavalry, if successful"

Napoleon stared at the map.

If successful.

Then he will become the well-deserved "patron saint" of the West and the absolute leader.

But he also knows.

It is not easy to achieve this goal.

but.

In a weak situation in terms of overall strength.

The coalition forces could only risk one blow.

after all.

Now their military strength is superior.

Even if 300,000 cavalrymen break away from the battle line.

The coalition also has 1.6 million infantry who can go into battle!

Time entered early October of 1810 AD.

The North American battlefield suddenly became quiet.

It seems that there is a tacit understanding between the two sides.

The apparent reason is that the autumn harvest is taking place in the rear on both sides.

This is related to whether both sides will have enough material supplies for the front line next year.

But in fact.

New offensives are brewing on both sides.

The Missouri Plains were divided into two areas.

The Ming army occupied the northwest.

Union forces occupied the southeast.

on the line of contact between the two sides.

The soldiers on both sides all turned into engineers at this time.

Every day's task is to carry the engineer's shovel and shovel and dig the soil.

The flat plain was dug into pieces.

trench.

Barbed wire.

Traffic trench.

Densely packed.

Like a spider web.

Behind these two spider webs.

It was the engineers from both sides who worked hard to build temporary roads and railways.

As well as material warehouses, field hospitals and other facilities.

It seems from this situation.

Both sides were prepared for a long confrontation on the Missouri plains.

But obviously.

Neither side is willing to waste their lives and wealth in such a confrontation. ,

To break the deadlock.

Both sides are preparing for a massive attack.

But both parties have adopted very high-level confidentiality measures.

therefore.

The intelligence systems on both sides failed to detect the other's actions.

Anyway.

Whether it is the Ming army or the coalition army.

Neither realized it.

own opponent.

I'm having the same idea now!

Zhu Yixin actually analyzed the information that the coalition cavalry was gathering from the sporadic information from the intelligence department.

But he thinks.

The key to the battlefield is still the enemy infantry defense line.

Just defeat the infantry group.

What can we do if we gather more cavalry?

A breakthrough point of choice.

Fort Consing is located not far from the east bank of the Missouri River.

here.

It was the area where the two sides fought the most fiercely.

Both sides invested more than a dozen divisions in repeated battles.

The blood has dyed the soil in this area scarlet red.

North America in October.

It has started to cool down.

The autumn wind howled.

Under the cover of night.

The large group of people rolled forward.

Responsible for launching this attack.

It will be the most elite force of the Ming Army.

first.

It is the Guards Army of the Ming Emperor.

Then there is the Guards Corps of King Qin.

Then came the Second Army, the first batch to arrive in North America from China.

They are all troops equipped with a large number of war horses.

The total number reached 250,000.

The reason for choosing these three troops.

It's because these three troops are equipped with water-cooled heavy machine guns!

They will be under the resources of three thousand heavy guns and countless mortars.

Launch the most violent attack on the enemy in front of you.

And they go after the breakthrough.

The 200,000-strong First Army and New Japan Army Group will form the Second Assault Group.

Along the gap opened by the first assault group, we continued to launch a violent attack deep into the enemy.

Then.

It is the third assault group composed of the Third Army, the Royal Japanese Army Combat Corps, the Royal Korean Army Combat Corps, and the Annan Kingdom Army Combat Corps!

According to the plan.

After the third assault group completed its breakthrough.

The fourth wave of attacks.

There will be a large-scale cavalry regiment drawn from various ministries, with a total number of 100,000 people.

They are drawn from the cavalry regiments of the infantry corps.

their tasks.

It was sweeping all the way to the southeast.

Destroy the roads, bridges, warehouses, and artillery positions behind the coalition forces and all targets with destructive value!

Push the battle line from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River!

In one fell swoop.

Establish China's strategic advantage in this North American battlefield! (End of chapter)
