Chapter 22 Shan'an Road Valley
Chapter 22 Shan'an Road Valley
Just as Victor and the guys from the Brooklyn No.14 Militia were digging, a "bad news" came from Washington: Their number would be changed from the Brooklyn No.14 Militia to the New York State No.80 Four Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
This news made the boys of the No.14 Vigilante in Brooklyn very angry. They didn't want to change the unit number with a long history. They even started to encourage Victor to beat up the staff officer who made the 'shit suggestion' .
In the end, Captain Edward stopped his subordinates from messing around and asked them to choose another more peaceful way: write a letter to protest, demanding that the troop number be changed back.
Together, Victor and the boys from the No. 14 Militia in Brooklyn began writing letters to every high-ranking officer he could think of.Of course, the one who received the most letters was the owner of our 'little pet': President Lincoln.
In the end, the efforts of Victor and the boys were not in vain, and their numbers were restored.And there is a motto that can be written into the history books:
You were called to serve the United States of America and became known in the State of New York as the No. 14 Militia.This name has been baptized by the flames of war, and because of this, the federal government will never have another name that can truly replace you.
Along with this motto came an order to go to the battlefield immediately, this time, their goal was the capital of the Confederate Army: Richmond.
Captain Edward summoned Victor as soon as he received the order, and ordered him to lead his M company as the vanguard to the target of this attack: Shan'an Road Valley to conduct reconnaissance missions.
At this time, the commander of the Confederate Army stationed in the Shan'an Road Valley was an old friend of the No.14 militia in Brooklyn and a hero of the Confederate Manassas Battle: "Stonewall" Jackson.
This time, the Northern Army commander responsible for commanding the Brooklyn No.14 Militia Regiment was Buck. Buck was a seasoned politician, but as a soldier, he was only an amateur.
The newly appointed Buck took more than 8000 well-equipped federal troops to the Shan'an Road Valley. His mission was to clean up the Southern Army here and remove their threat to the capital Washington.
The self-aware Buck chose the most conservative way, leading his army step by step, "crawling" towards their destination steadily.
However, Victor and his company M, who were selected as the vanguard, had already arrived at the Shan'an Road Valley and found the tail of the Confederate Army.
While Victor discovered the Confederates, the Confederates also discovered them, and Confederate commander 'Stonewall' Jackson was preparing his delaying plan.
He only has 4000 people, but he must delay Buck and his more than 8000 elite federal troops here, and must not let the other party occupy the Shan'an Road Valley, because he has realized that once the Shan'an Road Valley is lost, the entire Virginie Ya fell.
But they cannot be allowed to bypass here, otherwise, Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, will fall into an unprecedented crisis.
Victor's arrival made Jackson nervous for a while. His tactical plan hadn't been arranged yet, but the Northern Army arrived so soon.
But after a few days of small-scale firefights, he found that only Victor and his M Company arrived, and the other Northern Army, not even the Brooklyn No.14 Militia Regiment.Under Buck's order, they were still dawdling on the road.
So after sending a 500-man force to exterminate "these sneaking rats," he set out to deploy his tactical plan.
Apparently, he underestimated Victor and his M Company. Originally, the main body of M Company was veterans of the [-]th Cavalry Regiment who had participated in the War of Independence. Later, the supplementary personnel were also in the tug-of-war between Falls Church and the Southern Army. Got enough combat experience.
It can be said that Victor and his company M no longer have civilians with no military experience. They are all qualified soldiers who have experienced many battles.
Although the southern army sent by Jackson was also elite, but there was Victor on the side of the federal army.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, the Southern Army discovered a big problem. The weapons in the hands of the opponent had a range far beyond the rifles in their hands. Before they entered the normal range of firefighting, the opponent could already fire and hit them.
That's right, the entire Brooklyn No.14 militia was President Lincoln's "dog", and the military replaced them all with brand new breech-loading rifles.
The Southern Army armed with muskets had almost no power to fight back in front of M Company with breech-loading rifles. They could only start to accelerate their charge with their rifles in their hands, hoping to get into their own range as soon as possible.
At this time, Victor showed his talent in shooting. His vision far beyond ordinary people and his hands as steady as an old dog gave him unparalleled prerequisites.
With every shot he took, a Confederate fell, and the adjutant who had been shooting beside him became his personal loader.
After suffering dozens of casualties, the Southern Army finally brought M Company into their musket range, but after several rounds of firefights, they finally realized that they were defeated by the enemy in terms of range, loading speed and shooting accuracy. It's over.
Then there is only the most primitive and bloodiest way left: hand-to-hand combat.They took out the bayonets at their waists and started a desperate charge.
Facing the decisive charge of the Southern Army, Victor of course chose to go back.
"All of them! Bayonet! Blow the charge! Come with me!"
Following Victor's order, the soldiers of Company M also charged the Southern Army, which was several times their number, with bayonet-mounted rifles.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the southern army was stabbed and turned on their backs.It turned out that during the digging days of the Falls Church, as long as he had time, Victor would hold his soldiers to practice bayonet skills.
In fact, he was practicing bayonet skills, rather than saying that he was practicing with them. Although he didn't know what he had practiced in the end, the bayonet skills of the others had made great progress.
This hand-to-hand battle, the effect of the usual beatings was reflected, and the lack of training of the southern army was not their opponent at all.
What's more, there is an open Victor on their side. This old man pinched the neck of a Southern Army officer with one hand, and stabbed seven or eight people who came to rescue him with a rifle with a bayonet in one hand. Confederate soldiers.
Then, after finding that the officer was no longer able to attract the enemy, he pinched his neck and threw it out, smashing a Southern Army soldier who was about to make up his knife and fell to the ground.
Victor was rampaging on the battlefield like a chariot. Wherever he went, the soldiers of the Southern Army were quickly cleared.
After the commander was pinched to death in a one-on-one fight with Victor, the morale of the Confederate Army finally collapsed completely, and they began to turn around and run away.
Victor did not order the pursuit, but ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.And sent a communications soldier to contact Colonel Edward. He needed an explanation: why it has been a few days, and their large troops have not arrived yet.
If the main force had arrived at this time, even the No.14 militia regiment in Brooklyn could seize the opportunity to break through Jackson's defense line in one fell swoop and occupy the entire Shan'an Road Valley.
According to what Victor has scouted these days, there are only about 3000 to 4000 people on the opposite side.Both the firepower and the level of training are far from them.
But a miss is a miss after all, and Buck and his army did not reach beyond the Shan'an Road Valley until three days later.
During this period, although Jackson suffered a big loss from Victor and lost more than 100 people, he did not choose revenge, but concentrated on deploying his defense plan for the Shan'an Valley.
It is even more impossible for Victor to attack Jackson's 100-strong force with his 4000 or so wounded men.
Buck, who came belatedly, did not give Victor an explanation in the end, and Victor's protest was appeased by Colonel Edward.
He, company M, and companies A, B, C, and D will be the vanguard of the next attack on Jackson. If they can successfully capture the Shan'an Road Valley, Victor will be promoted to major.
Victor, who was blinded by his promotion, was fooled out like this, and began to prepare for the attack on 'Stonewall' Jackson.
In his words, no matter what kind of wall it is, he will beat it into a wall of mud.And then he really did what he said.
Within three days, under the leadership of Victor, the vanguard formed by the Brooklyn No.14 Militia Regiment broke through 11 defense lines of the Confederate Army and squeezed 'Stonewall' Jackson and his troops to the bottom of the valley.
Just when Victor was about to complete his battle, General Barker gave the order: the whole army retreats! 'Stonewall' can't be this brittle!There must be a conspiracy here!
Then General Barker withdrew more than 8000 federal elites and retreated to Winchester City. Angrily, Victor almost rushed into the headquarters to find him desperately.
But in the end, it was Colonel Edward who stopped him. Something was wrong this time. The Southern Army really seemed to be luring the enemy deep.
In the end, Victor could only accept Colonel Edward's explanation, and Jackson, who was going to use his last stand and favorable location to delay the federal army here, was also dumbfounded when he learned that Buck was retreating.
The news that came later made him even more anxious. After Buck left 1000 men to defend Winchester, the rest of the troops began to move eastward, preparing to join McClellan to attack Richmond.
After hearing the news, Jackson made the most adventurous and legendary order in his life: to lead the army out of the valley and pursue the Northern Army that was going back to defend Winchester.
He got his wish and caught up with the northern army on the outskirts of Winchester. Although the opponent's number was three times larger than him, he and his brave soldiers still charged without hesitation.
Then he was completely defeated by the Brooklyn No.14 Militia led by Victor, who was already hungry and thirsty.
As soon as the battle started, Victor rushed straight to Jackson's position with a command knife, and all the Confederate soldiers who stood in front of him were chopped into corpses.
Under the leadership of Victor, Jackson's phalanx was easily cut in half by the steel knife formed by the Brooklyn No.14 militia like butter, and the blade of the steel knife was led by Victor. Directly pointing down to the command center where the 'Stone Wall' is located...
First of all, I would like to thank the book friends who need 100 yuan for each modification of the nickname, and secondly, starting today to review all the books, pray that I will not die in battle, huh.In the end, I still ask for recommendations and collections.And help Victor to compare his heart~ I almost forgot, and I recommend a fanciful One Piece fan "One Piece System for All Members".Interested book friends can go and have a look.Also, I made a group, number 597340339
