Chapter 615

In the British military plan, the West Route Army, the British soldiers who landed from the South Bank of Lake Ontario, was led by Colonel Barry St. Redge.

Commander Barnett is the right arm that Colonel St. Redge attaches great importance to. Therefore, commander Barnett is entrusted with a heavy task by Colonel St. Redge. The 88th light infantry regiment is an important combat force under Colonel St. Redge. The light infantry regiment will march from east to West under the leadership of commander Barnett to ensure the rear safety of the West army.

As a result, no one thought that when the 88th light infantry regiment met the resistance of the army, it was unexpectedly shelled for no reason. There were only more than 200 healthy soldiers left in a regiment of 1000 people, and more than 800 dead and injured soldiers

When major St. Redge saw this light infantry regiment, which had been completely crippled, he was furious.

But even if Colonel St. Redge scolded the sky, the 88th light infantry was completely disabled. Before the battle plan of Colonel St. Redge had begun, the West Route Army had lost one fifth of its strength.

"Who the hell attacked the 88th light infantry?" Colonel St. Redge's roar echoed in the barracks, and the officers were too shy to answer.

Finally, it was his adjutant who whispered in his ear, "Sir, did that Indian tribe make it? In this neighborhood, except for the damned army, only the native Indian tribe has such military strength. "

The adjutant's words calmed Colonel St. Redge's mood. He bowed his head and thought for a long time before laughing bitterly.

The adjutant was right. As the highest military officer of the West Route Army, St. Redge had been stationed in Canada, but he had also heard of the rising Indian tribe.

Most importantly, St. Redge knew that at least half of his soldiers were equipped with the new rifle developed and manufactured by that tribe. There are also those small but powerful grenades, which are also made by that tribe.

There is no doubt that in this wilderness, the only one who can carry out such heavy shelling is the Indian tribe.

It's just that the tribe has always had a good relationship with the British Empire? How could they suddenly attack the 88th light infantry?

As a colonel officer, and one of Brigadier General John bergoin's most effective subordinates, St. Redge knew many hidden things.

For example, the Colonel Alvin Osten, who is now stationed in Fort Detroit, has had a good relationship with that tribe in the past two years.

The Osten family behind Colonel Osten has a good family relationship with brigadier general bergoin. In particular, the father-in-law of brigadier general bergoin, the living Earl of Derby, has a close relationship with the Osten family.

The Auston family got a lot of good things from the new world. It is said that they were all traded from that Indian tribe. Apart from fur, other things like cigarettes, drinks, salt and even weapons, the Auston family have been struggling for the past two years.

As a member of the house of Commons and the highest military officer in Canada, Brigadier General bergoin also made a lot of money in the past two years because of the oston family.

In this respect, the Indian tribe is friendly with the British Empire, but why did they attack the 88th light infantry?

Unable to figure out the key point, Colonel St. Redge immediately sent for Lieutenant Colonel Barnett.

"Andrew, what's the matter with you being attacked? Why is that Indian tribe shelling you? Tell me the whole process, including what happened before you landed, and tell me all about it Although he was one of his powerful subordinates, he almost lost a regiment. No one could stand such a loss, so St. Redge's tone was especially severe.

You know, in the battle of Bunker Hill two years ago, only 200 soldiers died and 800 wounded in the Royal Army.

But this time, it took only a few minutes for them to defeat a light infantry regiment. The loss was even greater than that of the battle of Bunker Hill.

No one can afford such a loss.

"Sir, I don't know why the natives shelled us. Well... "Barnett has completely lost his previous arrogance, just like a lost dog. He is also submissive.

"Say it! If you have anything to say, you can't hide it! " St. Redge said angrily that he had seen something from Barnett's expression.

"It's nothing..." Lieutenant Colonel Barnett murmured. "When we just landed, Colonel Osten, who was stationed in the fort of Detroit, once sent someone to tell me not to land at that place, as if it was because the landing place we chose was too close to the ancestral land of the aboriginal tribe... But the landing place was chosen from the beginning, This also involves the follow-up military operations, so I ignored it at that time. After landing, I marched according to the established route, and the result was... "

When St. Redge heard this, he almost turned his back.

He immediately found out why the aboriginal tribe shelled the 88th infantry and the army.

But St. Redge couldn't really lose his temper.

Do you think Barnett did something wrong? No, he did it right. After all, the landing site was chosen when making military plans. Barnett had no right to change the landing site. He could only land and march according to the plan.

But this landing site was chosen near the ancestral land of the aboriginal tribe. Of course, people didn't want to. It's like two foreign armies are suddenly fighting in the suburbs of London. Who can stand it?

St. Redge thought his head was going to explode, but he couldn't help it.

Did you take Barnett? First, St. Redge is reluctant to give up. Second, Barnett is right. He should not bear such responsibility.

Take revenge on that aboriginal tribe?

St. Redge didn't have a mind like that.

I'm kidding. Even without this military plan, the West Route Army led by myself did not join brigadier general bergoin, and they did not dare to go to the aboriginal tribe for trouble.

According to the information obtained from Colonel Auston, the military strength of the indigenous tribe is extremely powerful. In particular, they also have a gun with terrible range and more terrible power. Once it is fired, they are not enough to fill their teeth.

The 88th light infantry is a living example!

In the end, Colonel St. Redge, who was in a dilemma, could only choose to swallow this injustice alive
