I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

There was a disagreement between Zhongli and Nie Ping on the issue of who would be the main attacker, but this disagreement lasted for a very short time and soon ended with Zhongli taking the initiative to volunteer.

There was nothing he could do about it. Dahua didn't need to care about him, but he couldn't live without Dahua.

No matter how many grievances you have, you can only swallow them in your stomach.

As soon as you join Dahua, you want to be Dahua's biological son. It's not that easy.

If you don't work hard to perform well and show your abilities, your godson won't even do it.

The two sides agreed that the independent army would be the main body of the offensive, and the Chinese army would assist.

The Independence Army currently has 50,000 troops, but only controls a population of more than 200,000. It can be said that it is resorting to militarism and all the people are participating in the war.

Working with them will be the 31st Brigade of the Third Division of the Great China American Army, with a total strength of about 4,000 people.

Brigadier Jin Jiusheng led his troops to the front line of Alexandria and joined the independent army.

The Chinese army entered the camp with neat steps, while the independent army was scattered in the camp. When they saw the Chinese army coming, they immediately came to watch, and there was a chaos.

This scene made Sai Qi very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

This is what the military discipline of the Independence Army looks like.

Not long ago, most of these people were just farmers and serfs.

During this period of time, being able to learn to shoot is considered qualified. As for tactics, military discipline, etc., I don't dare to expect it.

But don't worry, the armies of the United States of America in the north are almost the same, half-weighted.

"This is Dahua's regular army, so neat and majestic."

"Their uniforms are so nice."

"They brought a lot of stuff."

...

The two troops formed a sharp contrast. One was neat and well-organized, while the other was loose and disorganized.

However, apart from their mental outlook, the Chinese army did not bring any other shock to the Independence Army.

After all, the Chinese army did not carry heavy weapons.

Advanced heavy weapons have always been the label of the Chinese army.

Without heavy weapons, others will feel like they are nothing more than this.

In short, from the perspective of the Independent Army, Dahua's unit is stronger than itself. But, it's just stronger.

Apart from that, I am still more dissatisfied.

Because during the meal, they found that the Chinese troops had much better food than they did.

In comparison, what they eat looks like pig food.

"Fa Ke."

"These noble soldiers will be scared to shit when they get to the battlefield."

"If I could have canned food like them, I would fight to the death."

The people in the Independence Army complained one after another, but after complaining they could do nothing.

After the two sides met, they rested for two days, and the Independence Army also received some weapons and equipment from the Chinese army.

They are all old-fashioned rifles, equipment that Dahua is eliminating.

Even if it is obsolete, it is a good thing for these independent troops. You know, among the weapons they used before, there were even some old-fashioned muskets.

After becoming familiar with the new weapons, the two armies began to move up the Mississippi River to regain lost ground.

They need to control more farmland and population to support this independent army.

Their first stop was Vicksburg, two hundred kilometers away. It was a town on the Mississippi River with a population of more than 200,000, most of whom were actually Indians.

Because of Dahua, those European immigrants did not massacre the Indians. Instead, they imitated Dahua and adopted a combination of soft and hard rule to obtain these labor forces.

The Indians were not exterminated, so some indigenous people did not have such a strong will to resist.

Faced with the guns of immigrants, a large number of Indians chose to surrender and accepted the rule of foreign immigrants.

Some people even joined the army of the United States of America in a daze.

Not only the United States of America, but also the independent army, there are 20% Indians.

They didn't know why they were fighting, but they came to the army to have food to eat, so they came.

Before the massacres and infectious diseases, Indians were the dominant ethnic group in this remote land.

Although no one has statistics, it is estimated that there are at least 40 million Indians on this land.

The number of immigrants from Europe is only over one million.

The number of immigrants from Dahua has not yet reached one million, but it is increasing rapidly, and it will not be long before the number of immigrants from Europe exceeds that of Europe.

In short, most of the land in North America is still populated by Indians.

However, there is no advanced civilization and no organizational capabilities.

The massive population was eventually ruled by foreign immigrants, with little ability to resist.

The coalition forces moved northward and had their first encounter with government forces in Eland, Sicily.

The government troops stationed in Eland, Sicily are only second-rate garrison troops, with a small number, and the independent army has changed its uniform.

Therefore, the Independence Army won a great victory without any doubt.

One hundred and three enemy soldiers were killed and 422 were captured.

Seeing the Independence Army cheering and cheering, the Chinese soldiers couldn't help but want to laugh.

With just such a small amount of achievements, can he succeed like this?

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Independence Army.

this

They were basically losing battles before, and after finally winning once, they were naturally unable to control their excitement.

As for the achievement, in their opinion, it was not small. It was equivalent to annihilating an enemy force of more than 500 people.

After taking Sicilian Eland, the coalition forces continued northward.

The government troops who received the news also assembled a large army on the west bank of Vicksburg.

Staying on the east coast and relying on the Mississippi River for defense will naturally lead to great advantages. However, they cannot do this.

First, they want to take the initiative to fight against the independent army and eliminate their opponents. On the other hand, there are also those bookmakers who want to keep the West Bank.

The harvest season is about to come, so we can't stay on the east coast and watch the independence army snatch away the food.

The government army assembled about 50,000 troops, but these 50,000 people had not yet completely arrived at Vicksburg, and some were still on their way.

Therefore, the 20,000 troops currently in Vicksburg chose to build a defense line in a wasteland outside the cornfield. They wanted to block the enemy from the grain-producing area first, wait for several other troops to arrive, and then attack them together. The Independence Army launched a general offensive.

The tactics are simple.

The tactics of the independent army are simpler, there is no roundabout outflanking, and there is no encirclement of points for reinforcements...

It's not that their officers don't know these tactics, it's just that they can't use them.

The military quality of the soldiers is too low to execute such complex tactics.

Then, they will go back to the enemy's rear and fall into the enemy's hinterland. They will probably be scared to death. It would be nice not to collapse instantly, let alone expect them to be able to complete the desired cooperation.

The execution ability is not enough, so they can only adopt the simplest method, which is to be positive.
