Chapter 660

Chesapeake Bay is calm, completely calm.

Not only the sea, but also the land near Chesapeake Bay.

This was a real calm. The Continental Army even offered Williamsburg out, so that there were no more gunshots on the whole Virginia peninsula.

The reason why the army did this was naturally inspired by the stone bear.

In the southern battlefield, the great army was beaten to death by the British, but it still held on to some fortresses and castles, which gave the British a clear target of attack. The small number of the southern army would soon be consumed in these fortresses and castles.

You said that most of your army belongs to guerrillas and militia. Why do you fight against the British regular army with heavy firepower? If you want to win this war, the only way is guerrilla warfare!

This is the thirteen colonies of North America. The soldiers of your army are all native colonists here. They are most familiar with the geographical environment here. If you don't take advantage of such good conditions, you just want to rely on the strong fortress to defend against the British attack. Isn't that the advantage of attacking the enemy with your own weakness?

At the end of the day, there is no fortress that can not be broken, nor can it be defended forever. The victory of a war depends not on defense, but on attack.

Throughout the ancient and modern history of China and foreign countries, except for a few very special cases, it is difficult to succeed by relying on strong fortresses or walls to resist the attack.

For example, in the offensive and defensive battle of the fort of gibraltarian, the French Spanish United Fleet has been attacking there for nearly four years, but it did not bring down the fort of gibraltarian. That is simply because the geographical location of the fort of gibraltarian is too dangerous, and the British have really made great efforts to build the fort of gibraltarian, relying on hundreds of years of continuous construction and reinforcement, In addition, the British Navy's main fleet restrained the French Spanish joint fleet on the periphery, which enabled it to hold on for four years during the war of independence.

There are few cases like this in the world. Most fortresses or castles usually end up with the attacker attacking the other side's defense.

For example, Xiangyang battle, the most famous urban offensive and defensive war in China, was also the result of the destruction of the city and the death of people. In order to capture Xiangyang, the Mongol Yuan army dispatched millions of troops and killed hundreds of thousands of people in 38 years, and the loss was far greater than that of the song army defending Xiangyang. But in the end, this "iron hit Xiangyang" was defeated by the Mongol Yuan army.

As a matter of fact, if Britain can't fight any more and recognizes the independence of the United States, I'm afraid the fort of gibraltarian will not be able to hold.

Therefore, if your strength is far less than your enemy's, then you'd better not rely on the strong wall to resist the enemy's attack.

Put aside the fortresses and castles in cities and towns, put aside all the things that can hinder you, open your legs, and use your familiarity with the surrounding geographical environment to drag down the enemy with guerrilla warfare!

That's what Taizu of China did in his last life. That's how he led tubalu with millet and rifles to bring down the unruly little devil, and then brought down the arrogant old Jiang. Only in this way did he build a great republic.

"I retreat when the enemy advances, I disturb when the enemy is stationed, I fight when the enemy is tired, and I chase when the enemy retreats"!

This 16 character formula of guerrilla warfare is a shocking cry for ghosts and gods. The short 16 words contain the great truth.

If the army can play the 16 word formula of guerrilla warfare, it should not be difficult to defeat the British regular army. After all, this is the home of the army.

It's a pity that general watsonton, the "fallen axe" of this era, is also leading the army to launch guerrilla warfare with the British army, but he only feels the skin of guerrilla warfare. As for the essence of guerrilla warfare, he is far from it.

So when Shi Xiong sent people to send arms and ammunition to the army, he quietly revealed the translated 16 character formula of guerrilla warfare to the army chief.

In rabbit's words, when the generals of the army saw the translated 16 word formula of guerrilla warfare, they were all dumbfounded.

Then, in addition to a few very important fortresses, the southern army soon began to withdraw from those fortress towns occupied by the southern battlefield, and then went straight into the mountains and began to deal with the British army.

Naturally, the Army knows who gave them ammunition and supplies for nothing. This is what the rabbitmouth's men said when they fooled them. This is not only the place where your colonists live, but also the ancestral land of our Indians. We don't want to see the British bullying here. But we can't tear our face with the British, so we can only help you secretly

It's a simple reason, but it's hard not to believe it. Especially in the army of the southern mainland, which is nearly exhausted of ammunition and food, this reason is more convincing in front of the mountain of ammunition.

Don't you feel uncomfortable with the British people? They are so full that they give away so many arms and ammunition?

So the Confederate army soon believed in the Cherokees who gave away their ammunition.

Besides, the army is also aware of the power of the Cherokee. At the beginning of the war, the leaders of the Continental Congress tried to win over this powerful Indian tribe, which was well known throughout the army.

It's a pity that the powerful tribe has always been neutral.

Now that powerful tribe quietly began to help themselves, it is clear that people are not happy with the British. But for one reason or another, they can't directly attack the British, they can only use their own militia to attack the British.

Moreover, the powerful tribe also blocked Chesapeake Bay and sank an armed merchant ship of the British.

In addition, the generals of the Southern Army carefully studied the translation of the sixteen word formula for guerrilla warfare, which was even more astonishing to those who wrote this kind of guerrilla tactics.

As a result, the Southern Army agreed that the Cherokees were good people and secret allies on their own side

Under such circumstances, guerrilla warfare began to be carried out in the southern battlefield.

The stone bear not only gave away arms and ammunition to the poor army who could hardly afford to wear pants, but also gave away elite scouts.

Compared with the militia, the native Indians here are obviously more familiar with the geographical environment. With the addition of these elite scouts, it will be more difficult for the British main force to grasp the tail of the southern army.

Therefore, for more than four years, from May 1, 1779 when Norfolk garrison closed Chesapeake Bay to July 1783, the southern army, under the secret supply of Yanhuang tribe and the guidance of fierce bear army elite scouts, carried out guerrilla warfare in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and even Georgia, Fighting with the powerful British army with great vigour
