Chapter 1356 A strong taste of conspiracy
"There are no reports of this yet."
Yang Xien then pointed to Platte City at the southernmost end of the Missouri River front: "Your Majesty, here is the junction of the Missouri River Cluster of the American Empire and the Kansas Cluster of the Confederate States of America. Although it is within the territory of Missouri, it is formed by the American Empire's Kansas Cluster.
The army is responsible for defense. It is only 40 kilometers away from Kansas City.
...It has been very peaceful there since the war began, and no war has broken out. The 82nd Division of the American Empire is stationed there and has built a defensive line along the Missouri River. Opposite them now are Huang Bingkun's 5th Division and the 45th Division.
A regiment of the division, and the main force of the 45th Division is in Lanxin Town, which is slightly to the south."
The 5th Division and the 45th Division of the Donghua Army suffered heavy losses in the August battle. Both divisions suffered more than half of the casualties. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were disabled. Therefore, in this "Operation Autumn Wind"
"Zhong was left aside and continued to lick his wounds. He was responsible for a less important area.
"What's going on there now? Is there a fight?" Zhu Juan's attention was on the Council Bluffs salient and he didn't pay any attention to Platte City.
"No, everything is peaceful there."
"Everything is calm? Could it be that... the US 82nd Division has escaped?" Zhu Juan was stunned, "Where is Kansas City?"
"The fighting is still fierce." Yang Xien said, "The reports from the First Army are full of complaints. There are also reports of the intrusion of US cavalry troops from further south. The situation is very dangerous."
Zhu Juan nodded silently and looked at the map in confusion for a while. The staff in the war room were busy marking the latest situation on the map. The signs of the US military retreat along the Missouri River were becoming more and more obvious. There were signs everywhere on the map.
Red arrow extending eastward. US counterattack on Council Bluffs Salient
The intensity has also weakened. In some areas, the Chinese army is already attacking. However, the American Union Army in the Kansas City area continues to attack fiercely. The joint between the Union Army and the Imperial Army is silent and silent - obviously
It was the Fifth Division, and the Forty-fifth Division did not organize troops to cross the Missouri River for fire reconnaissance.
Zhu Juan pointed to the Kansas City area on the map and said in a low voice: "? Or... Chen Yucheng was also fooled?"
After listening to Zhu Huan's question, Yang Xi'en just smiled faintly. He even tilted the corner of his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile, "...Your Majesty, I feel that the person who was kept in the dark was not Chen Yinggong (the British Duke of Donghua).
,...he must not know that the American Empire has begun to retreat, and is still attacking in an attempt to attract our attention so that he can relieve his northern brothers!"
"Yixuan... betrayed Jackson's hundreds of thousands of alliance troops?" Zhu Juan opened his eyes wide, "Isn't this too irresponsible?"
Yang Xien laughed, "Now that they are facing a disaster, of course they have to protect themselves first. Your Majesty, let's not live up to Sherman's kindness. Let the 5th Division and the 45th Division cross the river, and then start from Kansas City.
The north will go behind Jackson and cut off the Pacific Railroad. As long as it blocks Jackson for a few days, his Kansas cluster will be finished!"
Zhu Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Xien, "Eating the alliance's 600,000 troops in one bite?"
"Eat it in one bite!" Yang Xian nodded heavily. "In this way, Missouri and Arkansas will be ours, Louisiana and Texas will definitely secede from the Union, and maybe even Florida will follow.
Enter."
"What about the retreating American Imperial Army?"
"Leave it to the cavalry, as long as they catch up... at least let them keep some of their heavy equipment and supplies!"
Zhu Huan nodded, waved his hand and said: "Give me the order, let the Sixth Army attack according to the original plan! The cavalry group also attacked immediately, giving each cavalry army the right to make decisions on the fly. It is up to you how to attack them."
…
The brush in Zhu Jishi's hand shook. As if he felt a little bored, he walked to the window and opened it. He looked at the faint red light in the night sky in the distance to the east. The main force of the Sixth Army was fighting fiercely with the Americans, right? From the office.
The door opened and Han Si walked in. Zhu Jishi turned around and saw Han Si holding a newspaper in his hand. He smiled at Zhu Jishi and said: "Your Majesty, King Huan's former enemy refers to
The command post received a call that the U.S. Missouri River Cluster is retreating! The main force of the Sixth Army is about to launch a general offensive, and the armies along the Missouri River will also launch a general offensive. They will attack south as planned and fight the Kansas Cluster of the Confederate States of America... Your Majesty, we will win.
What a great victory! 1.2 million people defeated 1.8 million people... King Juan can now shoulder the heavy burden of the North American battlefield!"
Zhu Jishi breathed a sigh of relief: "Pojun, this time I should let you or Shi Gandang be in charge of North America. This is the most appropriate way. But although Juan is my son, he was not raised by me.
. He is also very ambitious and a bit arrogant. He will not listen to you.
As for some veterans of the Ming Army... Fortunately, he is somewhat capable. He defeated the Americans' superior force with his inferior force. I am very pleased to have such a son. It's just that his ambition always taught me a little bit.
Don't worry... we will definitely be more prepared."
Han Si was at a loss for words. Why did Zhu Jishi suddenly tell him this thing at night? He looked around awkwardly. This kind of topic was not something he could answer at all, so he quickly changed the subject: "...Chen Yucheng's
Report from First Army Headquarters, Confederate States of America
The Kansas cluster shows no sign of retreat, and is still attacking the First Army's defense line with maximum attack momentum. This time we will probably be surrounded by us in Kansas City. This is the main force of 600,000 people! Once it is completely wiped out,
The Confederate States of America is doomed!"
As expected, these words diverted Zhu Jishi's attention, but he frowned tightly, "How could this happen? The 600,000 troops in his hands are the lifeblood of the Confederate States of America! Most of the experienced officers in the alliance are
They are all in the Kansas cluster. If Juan is rounded up, how can the Allies organize resistance? In the current North American battlefield, the army cannot be pulled up by someone with a gun! Without a large number of high-quality professional officers and non-commissioned officers,
Even if we reluctantly organize an army, there is nothing we can do
Play its due role. Compared with the American Empire and the Kingdom of Donghua, the Confederate States of America has lagged behind in this regard. The quality of their military school education is not high, the number of non-commissioned officers who have graduated over the years is not large, and they have not been established in universities.
officer course(
Reserve officer education is now available in universities in Donghua and the American Empire). Once the Kansas cluster is annihilated, it may be difficult for the Confederate States to organize a large corps in the short term. And a Confederate States of America without strong force,
.
Zhu Jishi pondered for a moment, knocked on the table and said: ",,They want to use their swords to kill people. They want to use our swords to kill the Confederate States of America, and then achieve unification! Gaozi, where is Gaozi?"
Zhu Jishi called Kusumoto Takako's name - Kusumoto Takako is now in charge of this matter, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere. Han Si quickly gave a military salute to Emperor Zhu, turned around and left the office, almost quarreling with the sleepy man at the door. Kusumoto Takako was hit with a bang.
