Infiltration of Jackson

**Infiltration of Jackson** is the seventh mission in *History Civil War: Secret Missions*.

## Walkthrough

"Atlanta, Vicksburg, Petersburg and finally Richmond were all attacked by
the Union as the war dragged on. All these cities were amply fortified, so
Northern commanders had to find ways to soften their defenses before an all
out assault could commence."

Mission Briefing - Infiltration of Jackson:

"Jackson is a manufacturing center and one of the supply lifelines of the
Confederacy. Before the full invasion of Jackson can happen, its defenses
need to be weakened. The artillery position inside the town needs to be
destroyed."

The mission begins with General Sherman telling you to report to Sergeant
McKinley. McKinley informs your unit that each man was specifically
selected for this mission. You are to infiltrait the city and destroy the
artillery.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Find the first artillery position.
- Set explosive charges at the warehouse (bonus objective).

Follow you fellow soldiers to the barricades and jump over them. Continue
to follow them until they crouch and stop moving. Duck down and prepare to
defend yourself.

Several Confederate soldiers will take position at the barricades down the
road. Throw a grenade and advance forward a bit while more soldiers run
out from behind the building. Shoot them and continue your advance into
Jackson.

Turn the corner where the soldiers were coming from and take cover behind
the covered wagon. Soldiers will come from the alley on the left side of
the street. Kill them and move to the side of the wagon and shoot the few
soldiers a little ways down the street.

Run down the street to the end with the covered wagon and turn right. Make
your way down this street to the end and then make a left towards the
Gatling Gun where your mission objectives will update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Eliminate the enemy presence.
- Set explosive charges at the warehouse (bonus objective).

Run up to the Gatling Gun and press the Y Button to man it, then lay waste
to the attacking Confederates. Be warned that sometimes no more enemies
will appear, but your fellow soldiers are still taking cover and saying,
"Watch out!". This means there is still one soldier behind a building in
the distance. This soldier will instantly kill you if you wander out too
far. I have to tips in avoiding that fate.

While manning the Gatling Gun, you can easily destroy the explosive barrel
in this mission. Straight ahead you should see a large white house on the
left. At the back right corner you can see a stack of barrel. Shoot them
to destroy the explosive barrels in the mission.

Once all of the enemies have been killed, the mission objectives will
update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Destroy the artillery cannons.
- Set explosive charges at the warehouse (bonus objective).

Your unit will run down the road towards the cannons at the end. There are
red markers for where the explosives are to be set. Set each barrel with
the Y Button and run away. Once all three cannons have been destroyed, the
new objective will be displayed.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Find the second artillery position.
- Set explosive charges at the warehouse (bonus objective).

A gate will have opened up where your comrades waited before destroying
the artilley. Follow them through the gate and take note of the house
directly ahead with the windmill in the front. Run to the left side of this
house to find some barrels on the porch. Between some of these barrels will
be the hidden letter in this mission.

Run past the windmill and make a left towards a wagon and the Union
soldiers. Grab the ammunition box if desired and continue following the
soldiers through the gate.

Make a left down this street towards the two wagons. Run past the covered
wagon to the uncovered wagon. Jump onto the tongue of the wagon and then
into the wagon bed to find the hidden picture in the mission.

Turn around and run down the road to help your unit defend itself from
Confederate soldiers that are attacking. Kill the three soldiers at the
end of the alley behind the sandbag barricade and then move to those and
fire down the street to the right.

Move forward once the few soldiers by the far brick wall have been killed.
Now, more soldiers will attack down the heavily barricaded road. You can
find a double-barrel shotgun around the area and an ammunition box by the
far brick wall.

Move into the brick building once the soldiers have been defeated and
proceed through it to the exit. The mission objectives will then update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Destroy the artillery cannons.
- Set explosive charges at the warehouse (bonus objective).

DO NOT set the charges on the cannons just yet. You need to fulfill that
bonus objective still.

Once exiting that warehouse to the cannons, turn left towards the wooden
fence and then make another left. Run up the small hill and at the back
corner to the warehouse, there is a red marker barrel. Run into it to
complete the bonus objective. You don't actually need to set anything.

Now, return to the cannons and set the charges with the Y Button to destroy
them and update your mission objective.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Defend your position.

Take cover behind what little remains where the cannons were located.
Confederate soldiers will attack from inside the warehouse, from the hill
where the bonus objective was located, and to the left of the warehouse.

Do your best and make good use of the grenades. An ammo box is located to
the left side of the warehouse where some of the soldiers attack. It is
on top of a box and should clearly be seen while firing in that direction.

After a small bit of time and killing, the objective will complete as will
the mission.

At the Level Statistics screen, at least two achievements should unlock.
They are "Jackson" for completing the mission and "General". 1 skill should
also become available at this time.
