I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1073: Exaggerated trench

In the 16th year of Yongxing, in April, the Independence Army expanded to 200,000, and Dahua's reinforcements also increased to 20,000.

Excluding a small number of left-behind troops, they gathered a total of 200,000 troops to go to the Northern Expedition.

And the United States government army, the number of troops at this time has increased to 600,000, which is even more terrifying.

However, their 600,000 troops need to be stationed in too many places, so only 350,000 troops arrived on the front lines of Tennessee and Atlanta.

Moreover, with their transportation conditions and logistical support capabilities, maintaining a force of more than 300,000 people on the front line is already the limit.

Even if there is an army, there is no way to send it to the front line, and the logistics can't keep up.

Today, the United States of America, the whole country is serving the war.

Adult men went to the battlefield and various high-intensity labor factories, and those women and children also entered the factories to produce all kinds of materials needed for war.

The entire country of the United States has been mobilized, and the spirit has been tightened into a rope. As long as they are defeated in this decisive battle, they don't need Dahua to do it. They will collapse first.

The federal army, which is almost twice as large as the enemy, does not have much confidence.

Therefore, they chose to fight a defensive battle.

They built an endless trench on the only way for the Independence Army and the Chinese Army.

In Tennessee, the Memphis area is the only way for the Independence Army to go north. The government army decided to start a decisive battle with the Independence Army here, and dug a trench of 100 kilometers long and 10 kilometers deep.

Viewed from the sky, this fortification is quite spectacular, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, endless.

However, this scale is actually not particularly large.

On the Western Front in the original World War I, where Germany and France faced off, the two sides dug trenches over 400 kilometers long and two to thirty kilometers deep.

Its area is approximately equal to twenty miniature countries like Singapore.

Millions of armies from both sides were thrown into these two trenches, and no one was seen.

A map where a single soldier has no trenches, in the intricate trenches, 100% will get lost.

The trenches dug in Memphis by the United States of America are not as exaggerated as those on the Western Front, but they are also quite spectacular.

The government forces were also forced to have no choice but to rely on labor to make up for the lack of technology.

Weapons are not as good as the Independence Army and the Chinese Army, they can only use their hands to dig out a new world.

And their practice also achieved good results from the beginning.

The Independence Army encountered such a magnificent trench for the first time, but did not pay too much attention to it, and directly launched an assault.

But their first two charges failed, and they suffered heavy casualties.

In the two assaults, the Independence Army lost nearly 5,000 people.

This surprised the Cypriot enterprising. Although the Independence Army and the Chinese Army totaled 200,000, they could not withstand such a consumption.

More importantly, so many people have been killed and injured, but they have made no substantial progress at all.

Even if it was the second time to charge into the enemy's trench, but because he was not familiar with the trench, he was quickly repelled by the counterattack.

"Damn it."

Pushing forward and scratching his hair in a hurry, he didn't want to ask the main force of the Chinese Army for help now, because that would make the Independent Army very useless.

After a few months of training in the army, you can't fight a tough battle. What's the matter?

"Are the people on the other side crazy? I dug such a large trench."

The officer of the Independence Army vomited.

They were all shocked when they saw such exaggerated fortifications for the first time.

"We must act cautiously, and we cannot attack rashly until we find a way to crack the enemy's trick, otherwise our troops, which are fortunately trained, will soon be defeated.

"Will this make the Hua Army dissatisfied?"

"If they are dissatisfied, let them attack, but I want to see what they can do in the face of such abnormal fortifications."

The officers of the Independence Army yelled.

At the headquarters of the Chinese Army, Jin Jiusheng was also studying the enemy's trench tactics with his subordinates.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the enemy's move is quite powerful. Their soldiers hide in the trenches and can effectively resist the damage of our artillery.

In fact, because of the small number of heavy artillery we carry, in the face of such trenches, we can no longer suppress the enemy with firepower..."

Chief of Staff Song Bo said.

"Is the plane I want here? If you want to understand this trench in detail, you still have to rely on the plane to make a circle. Otherwise, all we can see is their forward position."

Jin Jiusheng said, whether the trench is too strong or not, he can't be sure for the time being.

He only knew that he currently knew too little about the enemy's trenches and needed detailed information urgently.

"It should be there tomorrow."

"Then let plug enter and suspend the attack, and wait until we understand the enemy's situation before attacking."

Jin Jiusheng said that four to five thousand people were killed and injured in the two charges, and he couldn't afford this loss.

In order to train these four to five thousand people, Dahua did not spend less money.

Fortunately, these soldiers who died in battle were not the main force of the Chinese army, and there was no need to give too much pension, otherwise, it would be enough to make the Chinese army vomit blood.

"By the way, let them start digging trenches to prevent the enemy's sudden counterattack."

Jin Jiusheng added.

If the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Independence Army are the main force of the Chinese Army, Jin Jiusheng hopes that the Federal Army will attack.

But as to the military quality of the Independent Army, he really didn't dare to rest assured, he still focused on security.

If the Independence Army is destroyed, their 20,000 people will have to face the more than 300,000 federal troops alone.

They do not have heavy weapons, when facing the federal army, the advantage is actually not great.

Jin Jiusheng's request made Sa enterprising a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Jin Jiusheng would force him to attack regardless of the life and death of the Independence Army.

At that time, he will be in a dilemma.

And now, just digging trenches for defense is just a trivial matter for the Independent Army.

Subsequently, the Independence Army began to dig trenches to build trenches.

However, the trenches they dug out were far less sophisticated than the EFF's, and the details were much worse.

This is actually quite normal. The Federal Army has studied for a year or two, and finally perfected the defense system. There are naturally countless tips in it.

The trench dug by the Independence Army did not expect to have much defensive power, as long as it could play a little role in preventing surprise attacks by the Federal Army.

They are now waiting for the plane from the rear to come, waiting for the plane to get information on the enemy's trenches.

In addition, the spies lurking in the United States have also received instructions to find a way to obtain drawings of the EFF trenches and related intelligence.

The game between the two sides is in full swing.
