Legacy of the Sabretooth

While Victor and the boys of the Brooklyn 14th Militia were digging in the dirt, a 'bad news' came from Washington: their numbers would be changed from the Brooklyn 14th Militia Regiment to the New York State Eighty-fourth Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

The boys of the 14th Brooklyn Regiment were so angry that they didn't want the historic unit numbers to be changed, and they even began to encourage Victor to beat up the staff officer who made the '-like advice'.

In the end, Commander Edward stopped his men from making nonsense, and they chose a more peaceful way: writing a letter of protest demanding that the number of the troops be changed back.

So Victor and the boys of the Fourteenth Militia Regiment in Brooklyn began to write letters to every high-ranking officer he knew who could think of him. Of course, the one who received the most letters was the owner of our 'little pet': President Lincoln.

In the end, the efforts of Victor and the lads were not in vain, and their numbers were restored. And there is a motto that can be written into the history books:

You were called up to serve in the United States of America and became the Fourteenth Militia Regiment known to everyone in New York State. This name has been baptized by war, and that is why there will never be another name in the federal government that can truly replace you.

This motto was accompanied by an order to go to battle immediately, and this time they were targeting Richmond, the capital of the Confederate Army.

Commander Edward summoned Victor as soon as he received the order, and ordered him to lead his M Company as the vanguard to the target of this attack: the valley of Sugi'an Province, to carry out reconnaissance missions.

At this time, the commander of the Southern Army stationed in the Shan'an Road Valley was an old friend of the Fourteenth Militia Regiment in Brooklyn and a hero of the Battle of Manassas of the Confederate Army: "Jackson" of the "Stonewall".

This time, the commander of the Northern Army, who commanded the 14th Militia Regiment in Brooklyn, was Buck, a seasoned politician, but as a soldier, he was only an amateur.

The newly appointed Buck headed to the Shan'an Valley with more than 38,000 well-armed Union troops, and his mission was to clean up the Confederate Army and remove them from the threat to the capital, Washington.

The self-aware Buck chose the most conservative of ways, leading his army all the way to 'crawl' towards their destination.

However, Victor and his M Company, who were selected as the vanguard, had already arrived in the valley of Sugi'an Province and discovered the tail of the Southern Army.

At the same time that Victor discovers the Confederates, the Confederate Army also discovers them, and the commander of the Confederate Army, Stonewall" Jackson, is preparing his delaying plan.

He only had 4,000 men at his disposal, but he had to delay Buck and his 38,000-odd elite Federation troops here, and he must not let the other side occupy the Shan'an Valley, because he already realized that once the Shan'an Valley was lost, all of Virginia would fall.

But they must not be allowed to bypass this place, otherwise Richmond, the capital of the Confederate Confederates, will be in an unprecedented crisis.

Victor's arrival once made Jackson nervous, his tactical plan had not yet been arranged, but the Northern Army arrived so soon.

But after a few days of skirmishes, he found that only Victor and his M Company had arrived, and the rest of the Northern Army, not even the Brooklyn 14th Militia Regiment. Under Barker's orders, they were all still grinding on the road.

So after sending a force of 500 men to eliminate "these sneaking rats", he began to deploy his tactical plan with peace of mind.

Obviously, he underestimated Victor and his M Company, which was originally composed of veterans of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment who had participated in the War of Independence, and the personnel who were later replenished also gained enough combat experience in the tug-of-war with the Southern Army at Falls Church.

It can be said that Victor and his M Company no longer have civilians with no military experience, and they are all qualified soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles.

Although the Southern Army sent out by Jackson is also elite, there is such a guy as Victor on the side of the Federal Army.

As soon as the two sides began to fight, the Southern Army discovered a big problem, the range of the weapons in the opponent's hands was far longer than the rifles in their hands, and the opponent could already open fire and hit them before they entered the normal range of fire.

That's right, the entire Brooklyn 14th Vigilante Corps was President Lincoln's 'pet dog', and the military reequipped them all with brand new breech-loading rifles.

The Southern Army, armed with smoothbore guns, was almost powerless in front of M Company, which was armed with breech rifles, and they could only start to accelerate their charge with their rifles, hoping to get into their range as soon as possible.

Victor showed his talent for shooting at this time, and his far superior eyesight and dog-like hands gave him unparalleled prerequisites.

With each of his shots, one of the Confederates fell, and the adjutant who had been shooting next to him became his personal reloader.

After paying dozens of casualties, the Confederates finally included M Company in the range of their muskets, but after several rounds of firefight, they finally realized that they had been completely blown up by the opposite side in terms of range, reload speed, and accuracy.

Then all that remains is the most primitive and bloodiest way: white-knuckle combat. They pulled out their bayonets at their waists and began a decisive charge.

In the face of the decisive charge of the Southern Army, Victor of course chose to go back.

"All of them! Get on the bayonet! Blow the trumpet! Rush with me! "

With Victor's order, the soldiers of M Company also launched a charge against the Southern Army, which outnumbered them several times as many times as they were, with their rifles loaded with bayonets.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Southern Army was stabbed on their backs. It turned out that during the days when the waterfall church was digging, whenever he had time, Victor would grab his soldiers and practice bayonet skills.

In fact, it is better to practice bayonet skills, it is better to say that he is practicing with them, although in the end I don't know what he has practiced, but the other people's bayonet skills have made great progress.

This time, the effect of being beaten badly in peacetime was reflected, and the untrained Southern Army was not their opponent at all.

What's more, there is also an open Victor on their side, this old brother pinched the neck of a Southern Army officer with one hand, and stabbed seven or eight Southern Army soldiers who came to rescue him with a rifle with a bayonet in one hand.

Later, after discovering that the officer was no longer able to attract the enemy, he pinched his neck and threw it out to smash over a soldier of M Company who was about to mend his knife and fell to the ground.

Victor was rampaging through the battlefield like a chariot, and wherever he went, the soldiers of the Confederate Army were quickly cleared.

After the commander was pinched to death in a one-on-one confrontation with Victor, the morale of the Southern Army finally collapsed completely, and they began to turn and flee.

Victor did not give the order to pursue, but ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded. and sent a communications corpsman to contact Colonel Edward, who needed an explanation why, for a few days, their large force had not yet arrived.

If the large force had arrived at this time, even if it was only the Fourteenth Brooklyn Militia Regiment, it would be impossible to seize the opportunity to break through Jackson's defense line in one fell swoop, and thus occupy the entire Shan'an Road Valley.

According to what Victor has detected these days, there are only about 3,000 to 4,000 people on the opposite side. Both the firepower and the level of training are far from them.

But a miss is a miss, and Buck and his army didn't reach the Shan'an Road Valley until three days later.

During this period, although Jackson suffered a big loss at the hands of Victor, losing more than 100 people, he did not choose to retaliate, but concentrated on deploying his defense plan in the Shan'an Valley.

Victor was even more unlikely to use his 100-odd men with the wounded to attack Jackson's large force of more than 4,000 men.

Buck, who was belated, did not give Victor an explanation, and Victor's protests were appeased by Colonel Edward.

He and Company M, as well as Companies A, B, C, and D, would be the vanguard of the next attack on Jackson, and if they managed to take the Sugi Valley, Victor would be promoted to Major.

Blinded by his promotion, Victor was fooled out and began to prepare for the attack on Stonewall' Jackson.

In his words, no matter what kind of wall it is, it will be a muddy wall for him. And then he really did what he said.

Within three days, under the leadership of Victor, the vanguard of the 14th Brooklyn Militia Regiment broke through 11 lines of defense of the Confederate Army, squeezing Jackson and his troops to the bottom.

Just as Victor was preparing to finish the battle, General Buck gave the order: the whole army retreated! The 'stone wall' couldn't be so brittle! There's definitely a conspiracy in this!

Then General Buck withdrew to Winchester City with more than 38,000 Federation elites, and the angry Victor almost rushed into the headquarters to find him desperately.

But in the end, it was Colonel Edward who stopped him, this time the situation was indeed a little wrong, the Southern Army was indeed luring the enemy deeper.

In the end, Victor could only accept Colonel Edward's explanation, and Jackson, who was ready to use the last battle and location to delay the Union army here, was dumbfounded when he learned that Buck had retreated.

The news that came later made him even more anxious, and after Buck had left 11,000 men behind to defend Winchester, the rest of the troops began to move eastward, preparing to join McClellan and attack Richmond.

Upon learning of this, Jackson made one of the most risky and legendary orders of his life: to lead his army out of the valley and pursue the Northern army that was preparing to return to Winchester.

He caught up with the Northern army on the outskirts of Winchester, and although they were three times outnumbered, he and his valiant soldiers charged without hesitation.

Then it was completely defeated by the wolf-like Fourteenth Brooklyn Militia Regiment led by Victor, who had long been hungry and thirsty.

As soon as the battle began, Victor took the command knife and went straight to Jackson's position, and all the Confederate soldiers in front of him were cut to corpses.

Under the leadership of Victor, Jackson's phalanx was easily cut in half by the steel knife composed of the 14th Brooklyn Militia Regiment like butter, and the blade of the steel knife was directed at the command center where the 'stone wall' was located under the leadership of Victor...
