Chapter 660: Guerrilla warfare

The Chesapeake Bay was calm, completely calm.

   Not only is the sea calm, but the land near the Chesapeake Bay is also calm.

   This is a kind of real peace. The Continental Army even voluntarily gave up Williamsburg, so that gunshots no longer sounded in the entire Virginia Peninsula.

  The reason why the Continental Army did this is naturally also from Shi Xiong's instruction.

On the southern battlefield, the Continental Army was beaten up by the British, and even clung to some fortresses and castles. This gave the British army a clear target for attack. The Southern Continental Army, which was originally small in number, soon Will be consumed on these fortress castles.

   You said that most of your Continental Army is part of the guerrillas and militias. Why do you fight against the British regular army with heavy firepower? If you want to win this war, the only way to fight is guerrilla warfare!

   This is the thirteen colonies of North America. The soldiers of your Continental Army are all native colonists here, and they are most familiar with the geographical environment here. If you don't take advantage of such good conditions, you just want to rely on a strong fortress and castle to defend against the British attack. Isn't this just using your shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?

   There is no unbreakable fortress in this world, and there is no fortress that can be defended forever. The victory of a war depends not on defense, but on offense.

   Throughout the history of China and foreign countries, except for a few very special circumstances, it is difficult to succeed by relying on strong fortresses or city walls to resist attacks.

Like the Gibraltar Fortress offensive and defensive battle, the combined French fleet attacked there for nearly four years, but did not bring Gibraltar down. It was purely because the location of the Gibraltar Fortress was too dangerous, and the British made the Gibraltar Fortress. It was really hard work. With hundreds of years of continuous construction and reinforcement, coupled with the British navy's main fleet's confinement of the French-Spanish combined fleet on the periphery, it was able to hold on for four years during the War of Independence.

   There are not many situations like this in the world. Most of the fortress or castle offensive and defensive battles usually end in the attacker breaking through the opponent's defense.

   Like the battle of Xiangyang, the most famous city offensive and defensive battle in China, it was actually the result of the destruction of the city. Although the Mongolian and Yuan army dispatched millions of troops in order to capture Xiangyang in 38 years, and even hundreds of thousands of people died, the losses were far greater than the Song Army defending Xiangyang, but in the end this was called It was beaten down by the Meng Yuan army for the "iron-struck Xiangyang".

   In fact, if the United Kingdom is unable to fight anymore and recognizes the independence of the United States, the fortress of Gibraltar will probably not be able to hold it.

   So, if your power is far less powerful than your enemy, then you'd better not try to resist the enemy's attack by relying on a strong wall.

   Put aside town fortresses and castles, put aside everything that can hold you back, step on your legs, use your familiarity with the surrounding geographical environment, and use guerrilla warfare to drag down the enemy!

This is how the grandpa of China in the last life did it. That's how the grandpa led the Tubal Road with millet and rifle, dragging down the rampant little devil, and later dragging down the arrogant old Jiang. This is how it was established. A great republic.

   "The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and harassed, the enemy is exhausted and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase"!

   This guerrilla warfare sixteen-character tactic can be said to be earth-shattering, and there is a great truth in the short sixteen words.

  If the Continental Army can play this sixteen-character guerrilla warfare tactic, then it should not be difficult to defeat the British regular army. After all, this is the home ground of the Continental Army.

It is a pity that although General Watsonton, the "Sakura Falling Axe" of this era, is also leading the Continental Army and the British Army in guerrilla warfare, he only touched the skin of guerrilla warfare. As for the essence of guerrilla warfare, he is still far short of the essence of guerrilla warfare. .

   Therefore, Shi Xiong sent people to the Continental Army when sending ammunition and ammunition supplies to the Continental Army, and quietly revealed the translated sixteen-character guerrilla warfare tactics to the Continental Army's military leaders.

   In the words of the rabbit mouth, when the Continental Army generals saw the translated sixteen-character guerrilla warfare tactics, they were all dumbfounded.

   Then, in addition to a few extremely important fortresses, the Southern Continental Army soon began to withdraw from the fortress towns occupied on the southern battlefield, and then dived into the mountains and forests, and began to deal with the British army.

The Continental Army naturally knows who gave it the ammunition supplies for free. The subordinates of the rabbit mouth said this when they fooled them-this is not only the place where your colonists live, but also the ancestral land of our Indians. We also don't want to see the British dominate here. But we can't tear ourselves apart with the British, so we can only help you secretly...

   This kind of reason is simple, but it's hard to believe it. Especially in the Southern Continental Army, which is almost out of ammunition and food, this kind of reason is even more convincing in the face of mountains of ammunition and supplies.

   Isn't it that you are upset with the British, who give away so many munitions and drugs for nothing?

   Therefore, the Southern Army soon believed in the Cherokees who gave away munitions and drugs.

   Besides, the Continental Army is also very aware of the Cherokee's mighty force. At the beginning of the war, the senior leaders of the Continental Congress tried to win over this powerful Indian tribe. This is something the Continental Army knew.

   It's a pity that the powerful tribe has always remained neutral.

   Now that powerful tribe quietly began to help itself~lightnovelpub.net~ This is obviously because people are unhappy with the British. But because of this and other reasons, they could not directly attack the British, and could only use their own militia to attack the British.

   Moreover, the powerful tribe blocked the Chesapeake Bay extremely strongly, and even sank an armed merchant ship of the British.

   In addition, the generals of the Southern Continental Army carefully studied the translated sixteen-character guerrilla warfare tactic, and it was shocking to those who wrote such guerrilla tactics.

   So, the Southern Continental Army unanimously decided that the Cherokees were good people and secret allies on their side...

   Under such circumstances, guerrilla warfare began vigorously on the southern battlefield.

   Shixiong not only gave away munitions, ammunition, and supplies to those poor Continental Army who could barely wear pants, but also gave elite scouts.

   Compared to those militiamen, the native Indians here are obviously more familiar with the geographical environment here. With these elite scouts joining, it will be even more difficult for the British main force to catch the tail of the Southern Continental Army.

Therefore, since the Norfolk garrison blocked the Chesapeake Bay on May 1, 1779, to July 1783, the Southern Continental Army, with the secret supply of the Yanhuang tribe, played an important role in the stormy bear army. Under the guidance of the scouts, in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and even Georgia, they fought vigorously with the powerful British army in the way of guerrilla warfare.
