Chapter 585 "Warm Current Action" (24)

However, Jeffrey laughed too early, and his judgment was even more outrageously wrong.

When Liu Mingyuan's Red Cavalry Army rushed to the Fresey area and Zeng Tiangao's Red 27th Army rushed towards Dawson Creek, Lieutenant General Cao Weiren, who was commander-in-chief of the Canadian Western Front, led his Red Fifth Army soldiers to the end of the entire army.

Because he not only had to carefully clear out all the remaining enemies behind him for the army, but also had to improve a reliable and smooth logistics supply line for his 100,000 troops on the Western Front.

Therefore, it was not until the beginning of January of the following year that Cao Weiren and his three main divisions of the Red Fifth Army (the tenth division stayed on the front line of Whitesse and Juno), and finally entered the Fresse base area that had been very prosperous managed by Qiu Yuancai and Liu Mingyuan, and rested there for nearly a month.

On February 6, 1870, Cao Weiren led the main force of the Red Fifth Army to drive out of the Fresey base and advanced to the Vancouver area.

Cao Weiren's arrival was not because Liu Mingyuan's Red Cavalry Army had already carried so many scars. On the contrary, he specially added the bid for General Jeffrey.

With the concerted efforts of the Red Cavalry soldiers and the people of Vancouver, both the people of Vancouver who had lost their homes and the soldiers of the Red Army were no longer with simple tents. In the orderly new city of Vancouver, there were rows of houses built of logs.

Although he was a newcomer, the soldiers of the Red Fifth Army were not as miserable as the British officers and soldiers who landed in Vancouver.

The British officers and soldiers needed to live in desolate ruins, guard thin tents, chew food that was frozen like stones, and did not even dare to leave the burning fire for twenty-four hours.

However, the soldiers of the Red Fifth Army could sit in the house filled with scent of wood, leisurely guarding the brazier and eating and drinking steaming soup.

On February 11, Lieutenant General Cao Weiren, who had rolled up his sleeves, officially started a direct conversation with General Geoffrey. Cao Weiren's speech immediately made Geoffrey feel extremely uneasy.

The Red Fifth Army, which is the first-class main role of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has a big difference from the Red Fifth Army, which is known for its maneuverability. The most important difference is that the Red Fifth Army has a heavy artillery team.

On the night before his speech, Cao Weiren had moved all his Red Fifth Army artillery regiments to the dense forests of Jinsui Mountain in the north of Vancouver City.

Therefore, when Lieutenant General Cao Wei's arm was easily waving in the air, not only did the British troops on the Vancouver land instantly were flooded by dense artillery fire, but even the British warships anchored on the coast to pluck their army brothers were completely under the attack of the artillery fire of the Red Fifth Army.

In the past, due to lack of competition, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, who had long been accustomed to "living and working in peace and contentment" all day, were immediately in a chaotic dilemma. The ships quickly set fire, anchored, and then ran around indiscriminately...

Fortunately, the artillery fire of the Red Fifth Army on Jinsui Mountain was more slammed over the heads of the landing British troops in Vancouver City, and the British warships and transport ships anchored on the coast were only bombarded.

But even so, the British warships sent here by General Geoffrey still suffered considerable losses.

Some were injured by artillery fire from the Red Fifth Army, and more losses were simply caused by their own chaos.

In order to escape, the warships that first pulled up the anchor chain naturally wanted to rush out of this threatening area as quickly as possible. So they began to rush around regardless.

The warships wearing iron armor collided with each other, but it was a bit good to say that, after all, everyone had just started moving, after all, everyone was strong and physically strong, and they could only carry a scar on their own.

But those wooden transport ships used to transport people and supplies were in trouble. Under the repeated impacts of the warships, the transport fleet was hit in a mess. One after another, one cracked its mouth and poured water into its stomach hard until it completely penetrated to the bottom of the sea. Then it was finally finished.

Compared with this kind of scene on the sea, the tragic situation of the British army on the land is even more terrible.

The top of his head was to face the bombardment of the hail-falling artillery shells from the Taipingtian Team. On the other side, he had to face the attack of the Taipingtian Team that was coming in a fierce manner, but behind him, there was no way out at all. The British army on the front line of Vancouver were completely in desperate situation.

However, what the British officers and soldiers of the landing Eighth Legion unexpectedly was that after the unstoppable Taipingtian team slashed several times on them and bit a few big bites neatly, Taipingtian team suddenly fell off like a deflated ball.

The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Legion actually withstood the fierce attack of the Taipingtian** team!

When the strong smoke gradually dissipated, General Geoffrey was riding on his flagship "Rolling Stone" heavy ironclad ship and hurried to the sea outside the once extremely fierce battlefield of Vancouver, General Geoffrey was actually a little shocked.

Since the Eighth Legion is still there, even if he feels awkward, he must try every means to give all the help to the Eighth Legion.

Mobilize heavy main ironclad ships to the Vancouver battlefield to drive away or suppress the artillery fire of the Taipingtian Team on Jinsui Mountain, and then replenish troops to the Vancouver battlefield and transport supplies.

Of course, despite the bumpy journey, General Geoffrey's goals can always be achieved in the end. However, Geoffrey is increasingly aware of how Vancouver is like a huge bottomless pit, which not only swallowed up a large number of brave officers and soldiers of the British Empire, but also seemed to want to swallow his Pacific fleet in one bite.

"The Taipingtian** team has invested heavily in the battlefield in Vancouver. If the American Expeditionary Force Command cannot continue to provide assistance to the elite legion, Vancouver will inevitably be difficult to consolidate!"

Jeffrey began calling Woodford one after another.

Jeffrey didn't know that he was feeling uncomfortable now, and Woodford was even more uncomfortable than him.

Because just as Cao Weiren led the Red Fifth Army and Jeffrey tossed in Vancouver, Liu Mingyuan's Red Cavalry Army not only crossed the Fraser River to occupy Hope, but also continued to work hard. Then he raided and conquered the important southern town of British Columbia, located about 800 miles northeast of Vancouver, Kamloops Fortress at the intersection of the North Thomson River and the South Thomson River.
