Chapter 18 The Rebel Rose
As the opponent of General McDowell: His Excellency General Beauregard, they are classmates at West Point Military Academy. The only difference between them is that he fought one more battle than Mike, that is, the bombardment of Fort Sumter.
As for the more than 2 soldiers under him, the difference from McDowell's is that the service period is more than [-] days, and there is no other essential difference.
It can be said that this is a battle of chickens pecking at each other. When the level and number of both sides are similar, the role of intelligence is highlighted.
And this is exactly the advantage that General Beauregard has. After the war, the city of Washington was full of Southern sympathizers and spies in addition to the messy young people with aspirations.
And Southern intelligence chief Thomas Jordan managed to develop the biggest achievement of his life: Washington courtesan Rose O'Neill Greenhow.
Not long after General McDowell set off, Boham, an officer of the Confederate Army, was stationed in the Fairfax County courthouse near Washington to monitor the enemy's movements.
Monitoring the enemy's movement is a job that cannot be relaxed, but people always need to relax, right?Just on this day, the guard brought a girl who came out of the city.
Bo Hanmu took a look. Although the girl was dressed as a country girl, she was very beautiful. It must be the secret work of the Northern Army. Just when he was about to interrogate (let it go while it's hot).
The girl said: "My name is Betty, and I have urgent information to give to General Beauregard." Bohanmu immediately showed a regretful expression, because another mission of his stationed here is to be ready to welcome people from the city at any time. emissary.
Seeing Bohanmu's understanding, Betty untied her hairpin, and her long hair was scattered like a waterfall. Bohanmu was fascinated and deeply regretful.
Betty took out a silk bag from the untied hairpin and handed it to Boham. After Boham sent the silk bag, he hurriedly handed it over to General Beauregard.
And what was in the silk bag was a complete battle plan for the Northern Army, even the map used by the Senate Military Affairs Committee, which marked the route for the federal troops to attack the Manassas Junction.
General McDowell had no idea that all his battle plans would be stolen while he was staying overnight at Mrs. Ross's house and working hard.
And also from her another 'good friend': Massachusetts Senator Henry Wilson, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he got the map used by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
In other words, when General McDowell took the first step from Washington, all his actions were already under the control of the Confederate Army.
Immediately after receiving Mrs. Ross's information, General Beauregard telegraphed to the Southern Government in Richmond that McDowell's troops had set off.
A request for reinforcements of Joe Johnson's 1 troops stationed in the Shenandoah Valley was answered that Johnson's reinforcements were on their way.
What happened, however, was that Joe Johnson's army was pinned down by a mass of Union troops entering Virginia from Maryland to the north.
This group of troops, led by General Robert Patterson, was pressing on the Confederate troops under Johnson.But they didn't really want to fight Johnson, they just wanted to prevent Johnson from leading his troops to reinforce General Beauregard.
Johnson knew his troops couldn't beat Patterson, so he played a trick.He sent most of his troops to support Beauregard, while a small force of his best men was sent to attack Patterson's forces.
Patterson thought that all of Johnson's troops were here, so he began to set up camp with peace of mind, preparing for the attack of the Confederate troops.
Finally, when he reacted, Johnson had already slipped away and led a large force of his own to Manassas.
And just when the Southern Army dispatched troops and generals to prepare for the upcoming battle.The situation with the Northern Army was quite the opposite.
After the federal army commander McDowell led his troops to set off from Arlington, because of the hot weather, dusty roads, and lack of order and discipline in the troops due to lack of long-term training, the marching speed was extremely slow.
Whenever they encountered a creek along the way, everyone stopped to wash their faces, and some people left the army without authorization to pick fruits on the roadside.To an outsider, this group of soldiers dressed in red and green looks more like a boy scout at a summer camp than a federal regular army going to battle.
Most of these soldiers are indeed recruits who have just joined the army. Without training, their physical fitness is also poor, and they are exhausted at every turn.
As a result, it took them 4 days to complete the 45-kilometer journey to Saint-Twell, the last town before Bull Creek.
And accompanied by a large crowd of onlookers, there were congressmen, businessmen, civilians and reporters who came to watch the battle. They sat in a carriage, brought food and champagne, and happily lined up for several miles.At this time, it is generally believed that this is the only opportunity to watch the battle. If you miss it, the war will end here.
These strategic situations will not affect Victor for the time being. After all, as a low-level officer on the battlefield, he only needs to be responsible for killing, and this happens to be what he is best at.
But he still paid the price for his previous behavior of eating food at the banquet. A high-ranking officer thought he ate like a country militiaman.
As a result, Victor and his men were deployed to assist the Brooklyn No. 14 Militia Regiment in Brooklyn, New York.
The original text of the order is: The militia should stay with the militia!
And this group of militiamen from Brooklyn is indeed a unique landscape in the Union Army: the unified standard uniform of Union Army soldiers at that time was a Prussian blue flat cap (or Hardy hat) and a wool tight jacket (or Prussian blue long dress), trousers are sky blue (or Prussian blue) all wool trousers. (It turns out that the US emperor was the original German stick.)
Both the southern army and the northern army are basically the same, with blue and gray military uniforms as the main style. Although there are subtle differences, it was indeed the main style at that time.
As for our Brooklyn No. 14 Militia Regiment, they wear scarlet flat caps, the top of the hat is covered with dark navy blue, the front of the hat has the "14" cap badge, and the top of the hat is the letter of each company.
The upper body was dressed in the same way as in other units of the Union Army, either a Prussian blue tight jacket or a Prussian blue frock coat.
But the lower body is pure wool scarlet trousers (or men's breeches) and white girdles.Their long red legs became a beautiful landscape for the federal army.
The members of the No.14 regiment in Brooklyn also have different backgrounds, some are workers, clerks and businessmen in the city, and some are farmers, hunters and miners in the mountains.
There are even a few people living in the south, as well as foreigners.It can be said that the members of the No.14 regiment almost included people from all walks of life in the United States at that time. The only thing they didn't have was professional soldiers.
The arrival of Victor and his reinforced company made up for this only fly in the ointment, and now they also have professional soldiers.Although the chief of these professional soldiers is an amateur.
At this time, there were 14 companies in the Brooklyn No.13 Militia Regiment, they were: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K
In fact, it can be seen from the name that this **** is really a militia.Then Victor received his company number: M.
For some reason, when he saw the letter, he thought again of his dear father, old Creed, and the wonderful evenings they had spent in the basement of their house.
Cough, but although they are a militia, they have undergone militarized training all year round, and have also participated in the suppression of the anti-Catholic organization "Angel Gabriel".
It can be considered that they have experienced many battles. Compared with them, other aspiring young people who have been mobilized are too poor.
And the patriotic enthusiasm of the regiment was very strong. When the Confederates rebelled, President Lincoln issued a mobilization order.
People from New York City, Brooklyn, Manhattan and other places in New York State gathered at the recruiting office of the militia, and soon the Brooklyn No. 14 regiment was established.
Colonel Alfred Wood sent a telegram to the government in Washington that his Brooklyn No. 14 regiment was ready. (The content of the telegram is as follows: The rise and fall of the country is everyone’s responsibility. Gou beep_________)
This Colonel Alfred expressed a warm welcome to Victor's arrival. After all, the war is about to start, and no one would think that he has too many people.
But Lieutenant Colonel Bagley of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment was not so happy. After all, he suddenly lost a company under his command. Although it was only a temporary deployment, it also made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, he couldn't refute the reason for the deployment. Their Fifth Cavalry Regiment was one of the few elite troops with combat experience, and assigning some of them to serve as the backbone of the recruits was the fastest way to form combat effectiveness.
Not long after Victor temporarily joined the Brooklyn No.14 Militia, an order came for the troops to go to the battlefield.
Watching a group of mobilized mobilized mobs swarming out of Washington in a mess, with almost no formation, Victor remembered a game he played before crossing: Red Alert 2.
At that time, his favorite thing to do was to play the Soviet Union, explode a lot of conscripts, and then circle them, a wave of A passed
At this time, the northern federal army was quite like a Soviet mobilization army, and it was also a mess rushing towards its own goal.
The only thing that pleased Victor was that the No.14 militia regiment in Brooklyn was not within this range. They lined up neatly and pointed at their tactical goals with their long red legs at neat steps: Henry Family Hill.
The Brooklyn No. 14 Militia won over Victor's subordinates with their performance, and they had previously criticized the transfer of a militia.
Then they also used their legs in blue trousers to follow closely at the end of the Brooklyn No.14 regiment with the same neat steps. They couldn't perform worse than this group of militiamen, after all, elites also want face.
First of all, I would like to thank Zen Master Qianbai and the two book friends who love themselves and their hearts for their rewards.Secondly, I was dragged to a dinner party this afternoon, and was dizzy from the second-hand smoke, but I came back and slept until 07:30, so today’s update is a bit late, sorry, huh (╥╯^╰╥).In the end, I still ask for a recommendation ticket for collection
