(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Major General Winfield Scott, the commanding general of the US army, withdrawn around 8,000 soldiers from General Zachary Taylor from the occupied cities of Salillo and Victoria in early 1847. These soldiers were needed for the planned attack on Mexico City via the sea route. When General Santa Anna (General of the Mexican armed forces) found out about this deduction and who only found around 5000 American soldiers at Salillo, he broke up to Saltillo with 15,000 men. General Zachary Taylor then hurriedly moved his troops to Buena Vista, a village south of Salillo, since the site there offered better opportunities for his 5000 -strong troops. After informing him about the Santa Anna’s march at the end of January, Taylor collected his scattered units and the incoming reinforcement troops under which Davis was located in Saltillo. In total he came to eight infantry regiments and almost 5000 men. Until the end of the Mexicans’s strength strength, Taylor concentrated its forces in Agua Nueva on February 21, 1847, almost 30 km south of Saltillo. Since the position was not very advantageous and the first reports on the size of the Santa Annas army were confirmed, General Wool Taylor was able to convince to withdraw to a place south of the Hazienda de Buena Vista, which was known as the “bottleneck”. Taylor entrusted Wool with the reputation of troops and returned to Saltillo for one night, still more concerned about the safety of the supplementary base than that of his army. On the late morning of February 22, Taylor found a defensive position favored by the site. The road to Saltillo was a hollow path here, which led past an inappropriate, deeply cut water channel and was limited to the east of several heights, which was tapered over several kilometers from the cordiller. There, the fingers united to a plateau on which Buena was in Vista. In the hollow path there was a battery under John Macrae Washington, which was covered by two regiments, one of whom was on one of the ridge. Two lines covered the left wing to the plateau. Shortly after his arrival, Taylor received a message from Santa Anna, in which he predicted the complete annihilation of the army, should not arise. Taylor rejected this in tight words. [first]        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4 The battle of Buena Vista started in the early afternoon. Santa Anna led a distraction attack on the battery in the Hohlweg, which was thrown back by Washington. When Taylor noticed that Mexican infantry under Ampudia wanted to include his left wing on the plateau, he sent reinforcements there, which essentially consisted of a mounted regiment under Colonel Humphrey Marshall and a rifle battalion under Major Willis A. Gorman. The advance of the Mexicans was stopped until the evening, but they could stay on the plateau. Taylor, who was still not sure about the critical point of his position, spent the night again in Saltillo. In the morning, the fights flared up again with a Mexican diversion attack in the “narrow point”, which was repelled despite artillery support. On the left wing of Taylor, an inexperienced regiment from the Indiana Brigade General Joseph Lanes came under strong pressure through two enemy divisions. Since the reinforcement by a regiment under Colonel William Henry Bissell arrived a few minutes late, it could no longer be saved. Bissell finally managed to stabilize the line of the Americans in parallel to the street with the support of other units. Taylor excluded a withdrawal of Wool, which was proposed by Wool because of the inexperience of the troops and calmed down the battle with its steadfastness. When the two Mexican divisions under the artillery fire staggered from the guns that have now been part of the plateau, the regiments of Bissell, Colonel John J. Hardin and William R. McKee passed the counterattack. Since the pressure on the center of the Americans decreased, Taylor posted forces under Marshall and Colonel Archibald Yell zur Hazienda, who were able to fend a cavalry attack Torrej\u00f3n there. [2] In the morning, Santa Anna again directed the offensive against the left wing of the Americans with the Francisco Pachecos division. Davis held the position there with a regiment from Mississippi, which soon received a regiment from Indiana and the units of the brigade Lane’s reinforcement scattered in the morning. The units included a reverse V-formation as a list. They let the opponent penetrate into the corners that resulted in this way, approach a few dozen meters and then opened the fire at the same time. The Mexican division collapsed and went out of flight in a disordered manner, which represented the turning point of the battle. When Mexican officers from this division showed the white flag, Taylor arranged a break of fire and sent Wool to clarify the situation. The troop parts of Pachecos caught behind American lines took this opportunity to escape. Santa Anna now ordered all the units still available to attack the center of the \u201cArmy of Occupation\u201d, which his batteries had previously moved on the left wing to counter Pacheco’s attack. Taylor, in turn, assumed that the Mexican army retired and had the central lines advanced. As a result, the two attack formations met, which led to a confusing battle, which decided by Kart\u00e4tschen the hurried batteries of the captain Braxton Bragg and Thomas W. Sherman. After this further setback, the Mexicans retired and hired the fighting. Taylor’s army had lost almost 700 men at the end of the day; The son Henry Clays and Yell were among the fallen. Above all, they owed the victory to the rapid troop shifts on their inner battle lines and the time, which necessarily needed Santa Anna between the different attack strokes for massing his troops. In the event of a day, Taylor and Wool found the Santa Anna field camp to be relieved; The Mexican army had lost almost 3,500 men and withdrawn overnight. [3] At home, Taylor’s victory in this David against Goliat battle made a national hero overnight. [4] With this prestige he got on a political course that could no longer be held. [5] The weakening of Santa Anna’s troops in this battle continued to boost the American campaign in the south and ultimately brought about the end of the war. \u2191  K.
