Super Chief

Chapter 625: The fall of the first generation of legends

Shi Xiong didn't see the battle in Saratoga with his own eyes, he only knew the situation there through the continuous radio telegrams sent from there.

  

  As early as Ohamoka ordered the shelling of Barry St. Redegg’s West Route Army, the soldiers from the divisional reconnaissance battalion under the ninth division were dispatched.

  

   These were elite soldiers who were originally scouts, but were later collectively renamed as scouts. There are several people in a team, each with a radio station. And thanks to the successful research and development of dry batteries, the radios used by the soldiers of the Grim Bear Army are powered by dry batteries, and there is no need to use a hand-cranked generator to power the radio as it was a few years ago.

  

  In this way, the size and weight of the radio station are reduced a lot, and two people can carry a set of radio stations-one soldier carries the radio, and the other soldier carries the dry battery.

  

  The soldiers of these reconnaissance battalions have no other tasks. He is responsible for following St. Redig's troops all the way, and then telling the commander behind by radio what they see from a distance.

  

For example, the first telegram sent by the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion is very simple. At noon on September 13, near Oriskane, four thousand British people found the 1,500 Continental Army in ambush and defeated the Continental Army. , The loss is small.

  

   is just a few dozen words like this, which explains what St. Reggae encountered in Oriskani.

  

In the original historical time and space, St. Legge’s troops were beaten in a beautiful ambush by the Continental Army in Oriscaney. In the end, St. Legge was beaten and fled westward, not as planned in Burgoin. The confluence eventually led to Burgoin being made dumplings by Horatio Gates.

  

   But in this time and space, St. Radge's troops defeated the ambushed Continental Army, which made Saratoga Jie a great change that was supposed to happen.

  

   There are also telegrams like those sent in later, which clearly record the itinerary of St. Redig’s troops.

  

   "On the evening of September 17, the British arrived at the Schenectady Fortress and occupied the fortress. Then the British sent a large number of soldiers to investigate around. We were found, but the British did not dare to attack us."

  

   "At noon on September 22, the entire British army in Schenectady fortress dispatched to the north-northeast, and then arrived at Saratoga at night."

  

"On the night of September 22, the British fought with the Continental Army. Another British group who was besieged by the Continental Army took the opportunity to escape the encirclement. After the two British groups merged, they continued northward and raided another British group in the early hours of September 23rd. The battle was short and fierce. In less than an hour, about a thousand people were killed on both sides and even more injured. Later, the British retreated into the forest."

  

  ……

  

   A series of messages clearly outlines the marching route of the St. Redgueil, and finally tells the two battles that took place that night.

  

   Through this information, Shi Xiong can imagine what the two battles that night were like.

  

   Obviously, because the St. Radegian's Department was not ambushed as in the original historical time and space, they easily arrived near Albany, and through reconnaissance they discovered the Burgoin Department which was besieged by the Continental Army in Saratoga.

  

   So the St. Radegian's Department attacked decisively, attacked Horatio Gates' Department in the dark, and successfully rescued the besieged Burgoin's Department. After the two joined forces, Burgoin launched another attack and launched an attack on the Arnold Department of the Continental Army in the north.

  

   Although I don't know the casualties of Arnold's department, Shi Xiong can guess that the casualties of Arnold's department must be serious.

  

   The Saratoga Pass in history finally did not take place in this time and space.

  

   Ishikuma guessed right, the Arnold’s department, which was violently attacked by the Burgoin’s department, did lose a lot. Strictly speaking, the loss of the Arnold’s department in this battle could not be described by the large losses. If Shixiong saw the tragedy of Arnold's department with his own eyes, he would definitely give the Arnold department a label definition-being crippled.

  

that's the truth.

  

   Benedict Arnold led the three thousand Continental Army, under the angry Burgoin's revenge, a total of more than 700 people were killed, and more than 2,000 people were injured. The entire Arnold department has fewer than three hundred people able to maintain a full circle.

  

   The most important thing is that, as the supreme commander of this force, the body of Benedict Arnold was also found.

  

This prestigious Continental Army general in the original historical time and space, later rebelled against the United States to join the British, and became the greatest traitor in the history of the founding of the United States by later American historians. He was hit with four arrows and three more. Bullet holes...

  

   The deadliest arrow shot through his neck from the side, and a lead bullet pierced his lungs.

  

Therefore, this famous general who was born in poverty in the original historical time and space, but formed his own militia company to resist the start of the British when the independent war broke out. This led his army to capture the fortress of Teconderoga, and then led the five hundred army. The soldiers spent eight weeks rushing for six hundred miles to make a surprise attack on Quebec. This general who failed in the surprise attack on Quebec, but used the improvised warship he built to resist the British warship in the subsequent Lake Champlain blockade. This led his army to attack. Burgoin, despite being removed by Horatio Gates, still relied on his unparalleled prestige to allow countless Continental Army forces to voluntarily follow and eventually defeat Burgoin’s generals. He died silently so that he was supposed to be famous. On the battlefield.

  

Benedict Arnold, who is only thirty-six years old this year, is an out-and-out military genius. In the original historical time and space, although he later defected to the British because of high-level persecution by the United States, it is undeniable. However, in the early days of the War of Independence, without the Arnold Colonel ~www.readwn.com~, the success of the War of Independence is still unknown.

  

   He captured the fortress of Teconderoga at the beginning of the War of Independence, and handed over the munitions and dozens of cannons seized in the fortress of Teconderoga to Watson, so that Watson had heavy weapons. Although the surprise attack on Quebec was unsuccessful, but with a simple self-built warship on Lake Champlain, it successfully prevented the British commander-in-chief Caleton from pursuing it.

  

   Only these two things are enough to prove Arnold's boldness and carefulness and his outstanding military qualities.

  

Later, Mahan, a well-known American military scientist and author of Sea Power, commented: "There has never been a force, whether it is a large or a small force, that can do better than Arnold, or die more gloriously. The Army’s victory in Saratoga should be attributed to Arnold’s fleet of invaluable time."

  

   Even if Arnold was forced to rebel later, no one can deny his magnificent military exploits for the Continental Army in the early days of the Independent War!

  

   is just this generation of legends who have a reputation in the original historical time and space, but in this time and space has fallen because of a small change...
