Chapter 616 (1/2)

Thanks to the spread of radio, the bear soon learned about the shelling on the southern shore of Lake Ontario.

As for the decision of ohamoka, the stone bear agrees.

Whether it's the British or the U.S. Army, they have to knock when it's time to knock, otherwise these guys are easy to turn up their tails.

The British, in particular, may think that they are friendly with the Yanhuang tribe, so they have no scruples.

I don't care about your plan of going south to try to get through the Champlain Lake - Hudson River Valley. But why do you choose to land near Rochester in such a big area to the east of the Great Lakes?

Don't say you don't know it's near the ancestral land of Yanhuang tribe.

Colonel Alvin Osten, who is stationed in the fortress of Detroit, no matter Major General William Howe or Brigadier General John bergoin, surely knows where the ancestral land of Yanhuang tribe is, but why do you choose it as the landing site?

Are you trying to give me eyedrops? Or do you want to challenge Laozi's bottom line?

Since you are the first day of junior high school, don't blame Laozi's soldiers for being the 15th.

If you dare to fight in such a place, if I don't blow you, you will think I'm made of mud!

Of course, through this shelling operation, we can also remind the British that the American army is not a fuel-efficient light!

They were able to find out your marching route just after your troops landed, and also successfully blocked the 88th light infantry regiment on the way, which is enough to prove that the army is not easy to provoke.

In the original historical time and space, perhaps because of the help of the Iroquois, Colonel Barry St. Redge, as the highest commander of the West Route Army, did not encounter the U.S. Army's resistance after landing. They easily marched eastward along the Mohawk River Valley, only to be stopped by the U.S. Army near oriskani.

The West army led by St. Redge was defeated in the battle of oriscany, and he had to lead his troops to flee to the West.

If St. Redge wins the battle of oriscany, Brigadier General bergoin will not be blocked by 12000 troops in Saratoga. Besides, William Howe did not go north as planned, but went south to fight with the army in Pennsylvania. Although William Howe finally captured Philadelphia, bergoin in the North lost reinforcements, After running out of ammunition and food, he finally had to surrender to the army in Saratoga.

This is the Saratoga victory known as the turning point of the war of independence!

Unfortunately, there were more than 5000 people left in the 7000 British troops led by bergoin. After these 5000 people surrendered, France declared war on Britain in 1778.

There are many different views on Saratoga's great victory in history. Some say that Bogot's reckless progress resulted in Saratoga's great victory. Some say that William Howe did not go north as planned to join bogain, which eventually led to the defeat of bogain's team by the army.

But anyway, the West Route Army, which should have been an important supplement to bergoin, that is, the 5000 British troops led by Colonel Barry St. Redge, failed to join bergoin because of the defeat of the battle of oriscany, which is also a very important reason for bergoin's defeat.

Oriskani is located in the Mohawk River valley about 90 kilometers east of Oneida lake. The army has the advantage of good timing and location, and uses the method of surprise attack to beat down the troops of St. Redge. Of course, the defeat of St. Redge also had a lot to do with the fact that their early March was too smooth, which led to the carelessness of St. Redge.

The carelessness, together with the army's surprise attack, led to the failure of St. Redge, and eventually led to the loss of bergoin's important Western reinforcements.

And what if St. Redge's West army didn't lose at oriscany?
