Chapter 627 (1/2)
A great war unfolded without any accident.
In terms of the number of people on both sides, this campaign can be regarded as a large-scale one since the outbreak of the war of independence. However, compared with Thomas gage's capture of New York and William Howe's capture of Philadelphia, the number of participants on both sides in this battle is far less.
However, in terms of tragedy, this unexpected battle stirred by stone bear can definitely rank at the top of all the battles during the whole war of independence.
Even the stone bear didn't think that he just wanted to give more blood to the British and the army, so that the two sides could hold each other for a longer time. Then he used the radio to ask the commander of the mixed ninth division, ohamoka, to bombard the St. Redge department, so that the careless commander of the British army could be more vigilant and avoid the failure of oriskani.
As a result, the saint Reid was awesome. He not only avoided the failure of the battle of oris Carney, but also successfully rescued the trapped Bo Ge.
But it was such a variable that bogoin, who was full of anger, launched a surprise attack on Arnold's Department, causing a large number of casualties in the army, even Arnold died.
This can be regarded as poking a hornet's nest. After finding the place that bergoin had repaired, the angry Horatio gates brought all the people to the door.
On one side was the angry and irrational army, and on the other side was the more fierce British army, so the two sides fought in this small valley.
Of course, the stone bear didn't see the battle with his own eyes, but the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion of the mixed ninth division soon radioed what they saw to Shangjing thousands of kilometers away.
When the stone bear read all the information, he was speechless.
Without him, this battle is too fierce.
Before the war, there were less than 20000 people on both sides. But when the battle, which lasted almost a day and a night, ended, there were less than 10000 soldiers standing on both sides.
Half of the army and half of the British lost their lives or were injured in the battle.
You know, whether it was the battle of Boston or the battles of New York and Philadelphia, although there were many people on both sides, there were not many dead and wounded. Once the commanders of both sides see that there are too many casualties, they will evacuate or evade in time.
Although these commanders do not know the saying ”save people, lose land, and save people and land”, they still understand the same truth. Therefore, in the original historical time and space, even if the whole war of independence was over, the total number of casualties on both sides was only more than 70000.
But now, in this time and space, just this battle, which did not appear in the original time and space, has brought down nearly 10000 people on both sides of the war!
Now it is not as fierce as the two world wars of later generations. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are killed in a battle, and tens of millions of people are killed in a war. In the war of independence in the 18th century, the number of casualties in a campaign was 10000, which was absolutely terrible.
Neither the army led by Watson ton nor the British army could bear such heavy casualties.
But for the stone bear, this sudden battle is undoubtedly an excellent thing.
The battle was a bloody process for both the army and the British. The emergence of this battle will undoubtedly make the two sides in the war deeply hurt. Of course, it will further deepen the hatred between the two sides.
As long as the hatred is worth it, are you worried that both sides will not continue to fight?
